Plans For County

Fair Revived By

American Legion


Will Proceed With Formation of
Association Approved
In 1944

Willis V. Rowan Post 116, Ameri-
can Legion, this week dug out the
plans for a Gulf County Fair As-
sociation formulated' in the latter
part of 1944, dusted them off and
got busy working out details for
what tfey "afticiliate making an
annual event.
Charter for the ,'air association
was approved two years ago by the
board of county commissioners and
is on file with the clerk of the cir-
cuit court. Due to war activities
and minor aggravations in 1944,
the plan at that time was, not car-
ried to completion, but now, with
an injection of new, young blood
the Legion is entering into forma-
tion of the association with great
enthusiasm.
It is hoped to hold the first ex-
hibition some time in October, al-
though no definite date has as yet
been set. The fair will offer resi-
dents of Gulitf county an opportun-
ity to exhibit and view various
products, such as vegetables and
fruits, livestock, forest products,
etc. A carnival wiill be brought In
in connection with the fair and
residents of the county will be en-:
aibled to gather for a week of fun
and gaiety.

St. Joe Saints

-w7
Fast-Paced Game Holds Interest of
Spectators Up Until Final
Inning

The Tyndall Field baseball team.
with a number of'big league rookies
in the lineup, we are told, invaded
Port St. Joe last Wedinesday to
tangle with the Saints at the local
ball park. The tilt was fast and
interesting throughout and the It-
nal outcome was doubtful up until
the last inning. However, St. Joe
came out on the long end of the
6 4 score, much to the gratifica-
tion of the local fans,
Lefty Thomason hurled his usual
brand of ball for the Saints, strik-
ing out eleven men. Big features
of the game were home runs by
Leonard Bedili and Tom Mitchell,
the latter being tickled, pink with
his long, hard hit over the right
field fence, his first home run, he
says, in all the years he has been
playing ;ball. John Lane led the
Saints in hitting.. getting three of
the nine bingles given up by the
Tyndall moundasman. -
The Saints scored one run in the
opening inning when Lane made it
safely to first. Alton .Dendy got on
base on an error, and' Mitchell sac-
rificed. Leonard: Belin socked a
liner to the shortstop and Lane
was caught out at home on the
forced play, Dendy going to third.
Bert Cox hit to ihtei third bas-eman,
who- tunibled the ;bali, allowing
Mitchell to come home. The side
was retired as McCall was out on
a foul tip to third.
Tyndiall scored, a run in the sec-
ond and it remained one-all until
the last of the sixth, when St. Joe
chalked up another counter on
Mitchell's homer with no one on
base.
In the "lucky seventh" the Tyn-
dall lad's chalked, up another run
to again tie the score, but the
Saints, with the first two men up
out and two strikes'oh Lane, the
third man at 'bat, shoved over four
runs to practically put the game
on ice. Lane took one. base on a-
low hit over second, Dendy drove
a hard' liner'through short to sent
the flying Lane home and went to
second as the play was made at the

Vets Opposed To Low Wage' Saunders Tells

Scale In On Job Training Rotary of Paper

W. H. Linton. county service of- Mill Activities
fioer, states that he has run into
much discussion pertaining to tile --
recent legislation passed 'by con- Says Local Mill At Top of List In
gress and, signed by the president Production Efficiency and
which indicates that local veterans Operating Efficiency
are opposed to the low wage cei- ---


ing as set for veterans in on-the-
job training programs, and they
feel that the 'benefits in this case
.are not wholly directed toward th'e
veteran.
"It is felt that General Bradley's
proposals as made carried the
thing from one extreme to the
otherr" said Linton, "and it is
hoped that steps will be taken to
raise the wage ceiling so that more
veterans may take advantage of
the training programs and not be
exploited themselves."

Speaking before the St. Joe Ro-
tary Club yesterday, Harry H.
Saunders, production manager of
the St. Joe Paper Company, told
Rotarians he considered the St.
Joe Paper Company at the top ot
the list in the industry insofar as
production efficiency and efficiency
of operation were concerned.
He 'said that the' company owns
approximately 500,000 acres of
pulpwood-growing land in West
Florida, which forms t h e basic
source of the required raw product.
He informed Rotarians that when
he came to St. Joe In 1936 it was
a small fishing village with a pop-
ulation of about 400, and that since
the building of the mill the city
has grown to approximately 400U.
He said. that production of liner-
board amounted to about 125,000
tons per year, and that the mill
has 665 employes with an annual
payroll of approximately $2,000,000.
He went on to say that tile subsidI-
ary an.dcaffiliated companies hal
an annual payroll of an additional
$330,000, and that the company ana
its subsidiaries in 1945 paid' taxes
and licenses in Port St. Joe and
Gulf county in thie amount of ap-
proximately $40,000.
Peak. Output Durinn War*
Saund-er toliu of'tlW -'Paier\"onm-
pany's record, during the war years-
when it was able to maintain peak
output at a time when other mills
were losing production because of
a shortage of pulpwood. He stated
that in addition to having enough
l:ulpwood for its own requirements
that other mills, were' furnished
trom here with 1500 cars, and at-
tributed the successful pulpwood
operations during this period whe,'
manpower was, so scarce, to the
successful operation of two pris-
oner-of-war camps.
He informed his listeners that
the company had received com-
mendations, from the British gov-
ernment, the chairman of the War
Production Board', and from the

Sports Authority Says
Runner Entitled To Two
Bases On Overthrow

In the ,baseball game played at
Apalachicola August 4, John Lane
was required ,by the Apalachicola
umpires to go back to third base
after he had crossed home plate
on a hit by Leonard Belin and anl
overthrow at first !base by the Ap-
alachicola third baseman. Result
of the decision, which-was made In
the sixth innng, was that the tilt
went an extra inning in which the
Saints came out on top. The de-
cision was protested iby Manager
Rich Porter at the time, without
result.
Floyd Hunt, secretary of the Gulf
Coast League, asked, for a ruling
on the matter from The Sportini-
News, national sports weekly pul'-
lishedi at St. Louis, Mo., and re-


ceived the following reply:
"When ground rules specify 'one
base over first or third base,' the
interpretation is one base in addi-
tion to the one which the runner1,*
axre going to at the start of the
play.
"In the playyou described, if the
runner on second started for ,third
as soon as the throw was made, he
should 'be permitted to score. The
fact that he halted and waited un-
til the third baseman started his
throw would not alter the situation.
"Had the runner remained on
the second base bag until he saw
the .bell was out of the first base-
man"s reach, he would be entiteld
only to 'third base."
Perhaps 'Secretary Hunt can also
get a decision on the hijinx recently
staged on the Wewahitchka field.

Bee -Keepers Use

Swamp for Tupelo
,
Honey Product ion

Interesting Story In Magazine Sec-
tion of Perry Papers Tells
of Profitable Industry

The following .:i'.,:l- appeared
last week in the .magazine section
of the Perry weekly newspapers
published in Florida;
Gulf county has' become almost
synonymous with the word "honey,'"
especially the famous' tupelo honey.
1or S31 producers along the lower
stretches of the Apal4tchicola rivel
have run their annual production to
tbout 500,000 .pounds to lead all
Florida counties.
All ar2as in Florida are not suit-
able for honey production. It takes
rivers to make the swamps to grow
the trees to furnish -the blooms to
feed the bees to make the honey.
This is especially true of Lu.pelo
ioney, for the tupelo igum t'ret
grows, in swampy river bottoms.
The 31 bee keepers in Gun
county have some 5,900 colonies or
bees producing the delectable sub-
stance. The half-million pounds or
extracted honey is 'supplemente'q
by about 5,500 pounds. of wax, ana
the two bring in an ayer-age annual
income of $62,000 at present price .
levels.
Production At Full Capacity
Lest there 'be a "honey rush" to
Gulf county, 'however, J. A. Whit-
field of Wewahitchka, the biggest
single producer, warns that the
territory at present is, overstocked
with bees and production is at full
capacity. "I
Whitfield is considered one- oz
the highest authorities in the f'ieltd.
lie has written the official pamph-
let on tupelo honey for 'the Florida
State Department of Agriculture.
Analysis of the output in Gul?
county shows that 80 per cent Is
fancy white tupelo honey and 20
per cent light am-ber or mixed1
grades. Only 2 per cent is sold to
local markets, 98 ,per cent being
shipped outside.
About April 20 the flow of white
tupelo is at i'ts height and within
three or four 'weeks the harvest
has been gathered'. The average
life of a bee during this hectic pe-
riod is 21 days, as after that time
they wear out their wings and dre.
During the winter most bee-
keepers bring the 'bees up-river -to
Georgia. They are almost dormant
for three months during this pe-
riod. Early in January they are
brought back down the river and
begin to feed on titi, maple, iron-
wood and' other early blooming
plants. They reach the peak ot
their condition just as the tupelo
blooms become available.
Industry Established Accidentally
The industry was established, ap-
parently accidentally, in the sec-
tion around Wewahitchka and the
d)ead Lakes, about 50 years age.
Certain selling 'points 'to tupelo
honey encouraged producers to
place the industry on a high buis-
ness level. In spite of the seasonaI
nature of the business and losses
from forest fires and heavy rains,
itiancial returns are comparatively
good.
Tupelo contains about 48 per
cent levulose and' 23 per cent dex-
trose as sweetening. Levulose has
been found to be more readily tol-
eratedi by diabetics than any other
form of sugar. Moreover, tupelo
honey does not granulate. Samples
kept for over 25 years 'have shown
no signs of granulation. In fact, by
adding a percentage of tupelo to
other honey, it may be kept from
granulating. Tupelo is always solid
in liquid ,form, strained, and never
in the comb. This 'gives a 'pure and
attractive product,.
'Bees Not Native
The producers have their own
co-operaive association which not'
only has de eloped the most prac-
ticable marketing methods but

The pine plank window on the
men's side is a result of too many
vitamins in a couple of boys'. .
While mother was shopping inside
they were displaying their boxing,
wrestling and running ability .
the vestibule was too small, and
'me of the boys made more room
by plunking his head through the
plate glass. The referee they called
the match off fortunately no
oni was injured to mention, and
that is' the one thing we are thank-
ful for. .. And isn't it true that
no matter how ibad' a situation is
we can usually 'find something to
be thankful for. Now FRANK &

given the BUCK ALEXANDER

we won't have to, for a while. Ha(t

Our Country '~ ."'" Right or Wrong


SPONTANEOUS HOLIDAYS
Seems that the merchants up in Quincy had
about the same problem as did the merchants
of Port St. Joe in regard to closing on Victory
Day. That is, the idea to close germinated
just a day or so before the closing day.
The Gadsden County Times says: "The
Times has a feeling that the hastily arranged
closing of Quincy's stores was a bit on the in-
considerate side, not alone, to the housewives
of the town, but to our friends and neighbors
in the country. It seems to us that it was
planned too late and that proper publicity, in
order that people might plan to shop in ad-
vance, was utterly overlooked. This is
but another example of how much we need an
active, intelligent, working chamber of com-
merce, which would have helped co-ordinate,
plan and publicize such action."


STABILIZING WAGE DOLLARS
Writing in an official- A. F. of L. publication,
William Green recently urged the 7,000,000
members of his organization to "stabilize
their wage dollars by helping to increase vol-
ume of production, which can wipe out scarci-
ties and the danger of runaway inflation."
If Mr. Green is able to make this message
felt he will be doing a signal service for all
the American people, as well as union labor,
for right there, in the simplest terms, is the
fundamental answer to the whole problem of
inflation-production.
There are other factors involved, such as
excessive government spending, which is in it-
self a strong inflationary influence, but pro-
duction is at the root of everything. Rising
prices are the symptoms of inflation-not the
cause. If we produce the goods, we will have-
price stability.


FREE AS THE AIR?
As ai- traffic increases, more rigid rules
will be necessary to control it. The supreme
court has ruled that a landowner has title to
as much of the air space above his property
as its use and enjoyment requires. Therefore,
if an airplane flies so low that it frightens his
stock or endangers his property, the law of
trespass may be invoked.
Some day the world's population may be-
come so dense that everything will have 'a
commercial value even air and sunshine.-
Dillon (S. C.) Herald.


This is the season of the year when the,fam-
ily skeletons come out of the closets and par-
ade on the beach.


Wonder if those Chinese bandits have beeTn
seeing American gang movies?


Danley Employes Attend 'Banquet
All employes of the Port St. Joe
Danley furniture store attended
the annual banquet of all Danley
stores held' Thursday of last week
In Opp, Ala., at which approxi-
mately 140 employes were present.
Attending from here were Mr. and
Mrs. Opp Moore, Mi'ss Sarah Kelly,
Murray Lloyd, Ellis Stevenson and


NO BOOM, NO BUST
President Truman has decided"-to make an
effort to'do away with the fluctuating econ-
omy which hitherto has been taken for granted
as normal. A few years of feverish prosperity
have always been followed by several more of
depression, but some economists are convinced
that it need not be so.
The work of the president's new council of
economic advisers will be to analyze business
trends and show the country how to spread
out employment evenly over a period of years.
If building construction, for instance, could be
planned for and authorized in good times, and
then held off until depression days, when ma-
terials and labor are'cheaper, the back of a
depression would be broken.
So many agencies have a hand in promoting
programs of public works and public cpnstruc-
tion that a good deal of education would be
necessary to put such a program across with
any degree of success. The economic council
may have to plan a sort of public information
campaign to get the support of the country at
large.-Pensacola Journal.


THE HARD WAY
Speaking of price control, which who isn't,
Representative Voorhis (Dem.-Cal.) has sub-
mitted a bill which would require from the
secretary of labor a weekly price report on
key items. Publication of these reports, says
Voorhis, would "make it possible for the con-
sumers of America to know from week to
week what items in their living costs have
advanced sharply and which ones have held to
reasonable levels."
The most influential consumers are house-
wives. We like tj call the average consume:
Mama. And being a gal with sense enough
to come in out of the rain, Mama already has
this information, not weekly but daily, or at
least as often as she visits the grocery.
She gets complete and accurate statistics
without reading any government reports, but
merely by asking the clerk "How much?"
From the point of view of a liberal legisla-
tor this may be doing things the hard way.
But Mama has been using her system for .
long time and its improbable that even an
act of congress could get her to change.-The
Rocky Mountain News.


MARCH OF THE GREEDY
The Legion of Greedy People is on the
march again.
These are the people who, before ration-
ing, filled their basements with sugar ano
watched it turn hard and spoil. Then they
field their closets with coffee and watched
it turn rancid. Now they are buying flour
beyond. their needs.
President Truman announced thlit in the
face of a world food crisis, which may he "the
worst in modern times," Anm.ricans would
have to share their bread with starving na-
tions.
That wa< all the greedy p. ple needed to
know. Like hungry locusts swarming out of
the sky, they fell over each other hurrying
to the grocery stores not everybody, thank
heavens, actually only a small minority, but
enough numerically to sicken anybody who
watched them swarm.-Milwaukee Journal.

We notice Mr. and Mrs. E. L,.
Hobaugh are taking a vacation in

are-funny. Here E. L. has been brag-
ging about that cool retreat they
iave on the 'beach at Beacon Hill,
.vhat with their large sun porch
'n everything, and yet they hike
off to the mountains. Probably
the Tennessee mountaineers come
iown -to the 'beach in' the summer.
Of course we lay no claim to be-
ing a sports, authority, as our es-
teemed friend Bert Cox can testify,
but it seems to us that if the Sun-
day .ball games were called at 2:30
instead of 3:30 (and' they seldom
start before 4 or 4:10) there would
not be so many of them rained olat.
Sunday's tilt with Panama City
was called in -the third, and-others
iave been halted in the fifth, sixth

Praises Country Editors

George H. Peck, in his nationally
released column "The American
Way," has this to say, in part of
the nation's country editors:
"The editor of the 'big metropoli-
tan daily, sitting in his comfort
able swivel chair behind his expes-
sive and expansive mahogany desk,
may imagine he is a molder of pub-
lic opinion. His ne-wspaper
goes out on to the .city streets 3o
be sold, by the hundreds of thoti-
sands. Small wonder, then, that ;he
deludes himself into believing 'he
is one of a small and select group
which is leading the thinking and
subsequent action of the American
people.
"But he is wrong. The people he
reaches through his publication
are not the typical Amnericans-not
the ,backbone of the nation. Those
people are to be found in the
smaller communities and in the
rurall districts. In the hinterland
are the hard-headed, clear-thinking
citizens the people who cannot be
fooled .by false -doctrines or de-
ludedi iby quack panaceas, and who
steadfastly adhere to sound Ameri-
can principles.
"These people depend 'for their
news and editorial comment upon
the local paper which serves their
particularr district. The 'editors or
those local papers have a rendez-
vous with destiny to them haa
,fallen the gigantic task of insist-
ing upon sound government, en-
couraging business, preserving free
enterprise and, maintaining democ-
racy,
"That's a tough assignment for
any group of men, but they are
measuring up to it. It is my privil-
age and pleasure each week .to
look through many hundreds or
these local 'papers. Whenever doubt
assails me as to where this natior.
is heading, I am reassured by the
linowledIge that some 11,000 editors
of the local newspapers are on the
job, quietly, without fanfare, but
consistently fighting for the 'bet-
terment of t h e i r communities,
their states and of the nation as a
whole.
"Throughout the war the country
editor had a mighty tough time orz
it. Uncle ,Sam just had to take
some of his hired help away from
him. newsprint was scarcer than
hens' teeth, new equipment and re-
placements were practically unob-
tainable, and manufacturers, hav-
ing nothing to sell. had no ads for
him. Yet, somehow he surmnQotetd-
these obstacles and, got his paper
to you regularly and on schedule."

The last part of the wall in V
Street, New York City, was
moved in 1699.

dren and youth in home, school,
church and community.

and the general public such united
efforts as will secure for every

Gulf Co. Public Assistance Home-Makers Use Tupelo
Payments $55,797, for Year Honey In Place of Sugar

Robert E. Bellows, member of Pear preserves in delicious tu-
the District 2 welfare board, an- pelooney will be enjoyedby many
nonced yesterday that he had Gulf county families next winter.
'been advised by the state welfare During the past few weeks Gulf
commission that cash payments to county home-makers had especi-

amount $44,336 was paid, to re-

cipients of old age assistance,
$2,900 to recipients of aid to the
blind, and $8,561 to recipients of
aid to 'dependent children.
Both the state andi district wel-
fare 'boards, Bellows said. were
pleased that larger legislative ap,
propriations in 1945 had made it
possible to relieve much of the In
creased need of the aged and, blind
resulting from higher living costs
and reduced incomes.
He explained, however, that al-
though appropriations for aidi to
dependent children, were larger,
funds had not permitted investiga-
tion of new applications filed after
September 30, 1945. Applications
for old age assistance and aid to
the blind, are investigated on prac-
tically a current basis.
Higher cost of living, loss ot
wartime jobs 'by persons not norm-
ally employable and discontinuancP
of military allowances were cited
by Mr. Bellows as principal rea-
sons why the number and need or
public assistance recipients had In-
creased during the r'e.conversion
and inflationary period.


While other cost of living
items are reaching sky-
scraper prices one
item that costs you less is
electricity. In the past few
years while other living
costs- have risen 44.6%,
the average amount you
pay for domestic electric
service in the area served
by the Florida Power cor-
poration is 22.8% LESS.
That's good news these
days.
