The sale and transportation of such fish other than' catfish will like- wise be vigorously opposed. This is a fight of fresh water commer- cial fishermen against all of the other fishermen of Florida, born .and unborn.

This unusual form of state aft- vertising, which has been sent to the utility's more than 11,000 share- hold'ers residing in all the forty- eight states and several foreign countries, will, it is hoped, create additional promotion for the state and the communities which the company serves. s D. A. Smith, certified, public ac- countant of Jabksonville, who has tor some time past been making an audit oif the books of the city of Port St. Joe covering the period from January 1, 1944, to June 30, !94.6, this week submitted his find- ings to the board o. city commis- sioners, stating, in part: "We want to state that we found the books an.d records in *very good ordei and the accounts all well main- dined: We want to advise also that we received the utmost co- operation from all the city em- ployas during the course of our audit." In the audit itself, this comment. is made: "The financial records of the city government are well re- corded and in excellent shape. The tax rolls are well prepared and for the two and a half years audited, no errors in recordnjng were found." A cursory examiantion of the lengthy document gives the follow- ing figures: General Fund Total funds ap- plied: 1944, $77,357.10; 1945, $54,- 090.82; 1946 (6 months.), $39,918.99. Water and Sewer Fund Total fundss applied: 1944, $20,782.58; 1945, $22,343.72; 1946 .(6 months). $12.994.71.

Fixed properties -ifnj iihprovc- ments of the city are valued at $705,326.05, which includes water and sewer, systems, hospital, fire and scavenger departments, streets and sidewalks, and other items. Total bonded indebtedness as ot July 1, 1946, amounts to $300,860. This includes dredging bonds and Continued on page 8) New Tanks Now In Use At Pipeline Terminal The two huge 80,000barrel oil storage tanks which have been un- der construction for some time at the Pure Oil Company Southeast Terminal, were placed in use this week and, according to H. C. Da- vis, terminal manager, increase the capacity for storage to better than a.halif million barrels. The tanks were constructed by She Grover Tank & Manufacturing Company of Pennsylvania.' Butchers' Cases Empty; Big De- mand for Chickens, Fish And Oysters "Any meat today, Mister? How about a piece of meat today?" i9 the song being sung by housewives of Port St. Joe as they trudge from market to market in the hope of ,perhaps finding a small steak or a lone pork chop. But all in vain, for the butchers' display cases< con- tain but a few. Odds and ends of cold cuts,, a slab 'of cheese and a few chickens. As a consequence there is a; big demand for whatever chickens are available and fish. oysters and other seafoods are making daily appearances on tables that forn~. early were graced by sirloin and T-bone steaks, pork and beef roasts and such, as housewives strive to appease their meat-hun- gry menfolks. A talk with local meat vendors indicates they have no idea of how long the OPA-created shorta.g will last. Two of them stated that they had' b,.en offered' meat by an out-of-town seller, but when they informed, him they were paying only ceiling prices, he left town in a huff, greatly grieved that none of the local markets would handle his black market meat. Kiwanians Hear Talk And View Film/On TB Mrs. Ramona Masure, field sec- retary of the Florida Tuberculosis and Health Association, was the guest of the Kiwanis Club at itb Wednesday luncheon. Besides giv- ing a very interesting address, Mrs. Masure presented a film about her subject, Maurice Maige assisting with the projection. "Each year," she said. "about 55,000 persons in the Unite'd States. die from tuberculosis. Florida has a rate of about 900 deaths yearly, While TB is still a very dangerous enemy to humanity, definite cura- tive .methods are being employed to successfully combat the dis- ease. X-ray units annually travel theta state, giving free X-rays to the public and urging everyone to sub- mit to chest X-rays. Besides, the association is using means to edu- cate the public to the menace or TB. If'people could be made to re- alize that TB can be cure wheu found in time, many lives could be saved if regular cnest X-rays are made." Mrs. Masum:e continued. She pointed out that the state sanitorium at Orlando has )been su-pplenmeted by the addition of the 210-bed hospital unit at Mari- anna. supplied by the government base there, and in addition a 400- bed unit is being rapidly prepared at Tampa. president Tom Owens pledged the support of the local club to the efforts of the association. ItR Tom Byrne, Episcopal pas- tor, was the guest speaker at the club Wednesday of last week and gave an interesting and instruc- tive talk on Alaska, using a num- )P:' of pictures for illustration.

PAGE TWO STARDUST and MOONSHINE With all the advertising in thi1 Issue it looks like about all we have room, for is the "Stardust" heading but we ought to be able to squeeze in a rew items that Glenn Boyles hasn't scooped us on in his "Tattler" column. We were down at the Miller Drug Store last Thursday evening looking for a birthday present for our wife (her 27th she says-these women get younger every year, don't they) and. Mrs. Roy Gaskin was loading up on a lot of face creams and other beautifiers. As she paid off Mr. Campbell she re- memibered, that she was supposed to buy her husband some cigars, and when Campbell asked how many she looked at her 24 cents in change and asked how many she could get for that. We gave her a Tampa Nuggett to give to Roy poor guy! iMrs. H. A. Drake paid five dol- lars for an aluminum disk in an Atlanta store which, used in com- bination with hot water and bak- ing soda cleans her silverware up, nice and pretty. For twenty years we"ve been clearing our sil- verware tby dumping it in an al- minum kettle, shaking soda over it and adding boiling water. Did you ever see a man all dolled up in his Sunday best and going about barefoot? Well, that's what Williston Chafin says their new 1946 Ford looks like. Seems Williston parked his car in Mont- gomery while getting something to eat, and when he came out some enterprising individual had ap- propriated all four hub caps. "Fine way to treat Florida tourists," says Williston. W. E. Sneef, butcher over at tno new Swatts Grocery and Market, spent last week in Sneads (no rela- tion) with his mother. When he returned he brought back a half beef. Who wouldn't take a week off right now in order to get that much red meat! And we got a steak offen it before he sold it all to the meat-hungry hordes. Our thanks to Patty Lovett for a small sack of hot peppers. . We love hot peppers better'n a hog loves swill. Our wife gets the biggest kick out of people stopping her on the street and paying her for their sub- scription to The Star we'd like to see more people pay her off. Of course, she turns 'it over Lo us when she comes back to the shop S. imagine that, if you cant. E. C. Cason is going about with a bruised a-nd mercurechromedi face as the result of a four-man motor- scooter race on the beach this week. Seems Mr. Cason hit a 'bump with his motorized roller- skate, went plumb over W. B. Wil- sand. When being treated by Doc Ward, the eminent medico said: "That two wheeled veloci. pede is going to kill you yet." To which Cason replied: "You should talk! You wore a plaster brassiere for a year or so after you had a mixup with your four-wheel ja- loppy." New Highway Markers Erected Here This Week No longer will residents of Port St. Joe travel over State Road No. 6 to Wewahitchka, for with insti- gation of the state's new highway marking system Road No. 6 is now designated as No. 71. The change was made this week as the state road department erected the newly designed markers, an outline, of Florida on a white background. Road, No. 453 from Beacon Hill to Wewahitchka via Overtstreet is now No. 386, and Road. No. 52 from For Those Who Think of Appearance Run-down shoes make you look sloppy and unattractive.

Our Country -'~" Right or Wrong NOT THE MAN FOR THE JOB If President Truman is considering running for re-election he's certainly not going at it,- in the right way. From way down here in Port St. Joe it begins to look as though Mr. Trumant's brains have become short-circuited. We don't believe it's necessary to discuss the Wallace fiasco, since it has received so much newspaper and radio publicity, but there is another of his moves that apparently has escaped notice in the hullabaloo raised over the- secretary of commerce, and that is his contemplated plan of asking congress for spe- cial legislation to permit the entry of Euro- pean refugees into the United States. if he carries out that plan, he'll be driving an exceptionally large spike into his political coffin. We hope the people who are gathered at Copenhagen to find some means of satisfying people who are hungry for bread have better luck than those at Paris seeking a means of satisfying people who are hungry for peace. Keep smiling--and buy U S Savings Bonds. JO SERRA SPEAKS ON SECURITY Our old friend Jo Serra blew into The Star office last Saturday for his semi-annual visit to our fair city. Said he had to lay in enough grub to see him through the winter. "Secur- curity against getting hungry," he called it, but he said it looked like about all he was go- ing to take home with him was beans. "And speaking' of security," said Jo, as he cocked his feet up on our desk and spat a stream of liquid tobacco into the wastebasket, "that's one o' the strangest things I've seed in a long time. They's bin more jabber 'bout security these days and. less of it s'fur back as I kin reccomeipber. 'Course, down in The Swamp we don't have to worry much about it-leastwise we didn't uster but now it's gittin' so's even us folks down there who's got fish, and turkeys, and deer, and honey, and hogs, and practically everything we want, even we're starting' to worry, too. "You know. Mr. Editor, it's' a gittin, where I can't even fish in peace no more. I used to go fishing' and all I had on my mind wuz fishing . Now I can't fish fer .worryin' 'bout bizness, and guvamint and insecurity. "It 'pears to me that about all the guvamint is astryin' to do is to keep evvybuddy in hot water jest as long as possible. Why, lookit all them there agents, spenders, inspectors, spies, co-ordinators, expeditors, agitators and jest plain snoops, who goes around at the expense of us taxpayers and stir up ruckuses. That's why I can't buy no meat here in Port St. Joe -or another place, fer that matter-and it's why Wavne-McGowin can't git you that there new car you bin vearnin' fer. "Things is coin' to a heluva pass in this here land o' the free and home o' the brave when a feller can't fish for brim and catfish and keep his mind off'n suckers." We realize that this is a progressive age, but so far, thank goodness, we haven't seen grandma out driving one of those motorized scooters. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Fort Meade, Fla.

BID LET FOR RESURFACING SEVEN MILES HIGHWAY 6 The state road department last week let the contract for resurfac- ing seven miles-of Road 6 (now No. 71) northward from Cypress Creek. The Smith Engineering and Con- struction Company of Pensacola got the job for $61,842. Florida farm acreage has in- creased 55 per cent in five years, the research division of. the Flor- ida State Chamber of Commerce states after a study of advance re- ports of the 1945 census of agri- culture. It pays to advertise-try It! Adseeliurment To hear Willie Wells and Basil Strube arguing about trout fish- ing, you'd think it was more im- portant than the atom bomb. Willie favors dry flies, Basil pooh-poohs anything but wet flies. Willie swears by a Royal Coach- man; Basil won't hear of anything but a Silver Doctor. And by the time it comes to steel rods versus bamboo rods ... #!X&**!? But on Saturday, each got back from Seward's creek with a. catch that couldn't have differed by more than several ounces! Copyright, 1946, United States Brewers Foundation oing Fishing? Here's How! Each had used his favorite kind of fly, his favorite rod and his favorite place to cast. So over a friendly glass of beer, they al- lowed as how maybe they were both right which is how so many arguments should end. From where I sit, if we all re- spected one another's different opinions-whether about trout flies, or drinking beer, or voting, life would be a whole lot pleasanter. 690e *'aA4( When are you going to get your new car ?

In past years the mailing period for Christmas packages was from ,September 15 to October 15, to in- sure receipt of the parcels over- seas before Christmas Day. Since the fighting ended, the number or soldiers overseas has been so re- duced and the movement of units has lessened so much that postot- fice department officials and army postal officers decided this year's gift mailing period could :be set back a month. Emphasizing that families this year know exactly where on the world's map their soldier-relative is stationed, postal officers urge the use of judgment in mailing dates, pointing out that delivery takes longer to Korea than it does fd Elingland. Oregon is derived from the In- dian word: meaning place of plenty. ROAD DEPARTMENT PLANS HUGE BRIDGE MOVING TASK The state road department is go- ing to move a bridge 130 miles- from Scotts Ferry in Oalhoun .county to Stephensville in Taylor county. The bridge will be taken to pieces and transported on barges to its new location. Road depart- ment officials say it's the first time a bridge has been moved in Florida. The joib will start as soon as the new bridge is completed to re- place the narrow span now at Scotts Ferry. The decision to move the bridge was madf at the request of a Taylor county delega- tion which reported that a private ferry at present offers the only means of crossing the Steinhatchee River at Stephensville, south of Perry. $25 $300 LOANS Have you unexpected expenses?

SAL Favors Control of FEC By Paper Company1 The interstate commerce com- mission Wednesday authorized the Seaboard Air Line Railroad Com- pany to intervene in the Florida East Coast Railway reorganization case. In its brief, the Seaboard asked the ICC to adopt a report by Ex- aminer Ralph Jewell recommend- ing that the FEC be reorganized under control of the St. Joe Paper Company. -Seaboard; contended that "the public now has the advantage of three competing services-the Sea- board, the Coast Line and the Southern Railway-at the import- ant gateway at Jacksonville. The S aboard believes that continu- ance of this competitive condition at this most important gateway to Florida territory is essential to an effective public service and that the cofitinuance of the Florida East Coast as an independent carrier, free from the control of any. one of the. carriers competing at the Jacksonville gateway is necessary in order to preserve this condition ind conserve the public interest."
