vertising, which has been sent to

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,-

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.

ice office willl be open but three

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

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.

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!

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.

Mailing Period

Set for Overseas

Xmas Packages


WMay Be Mailed Without Request
Slips Between October 14
and November 15

Christmas packages for army
,personnel stationed overseas may
be mailed without request slips
between October 14 and November
15, according to announcement by
the adjutant general.
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.

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."
