THE STAR The Home Newspaper of Northwest Florida's Future Industrial Center VOLUME X PORT ST. JOE, FLORIDA, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 1946 NUMBER. 8 Asa Montgomery Is High In Praise Of TB Sanatorium Received Wonderful Treatment and Care; Urges Everyone To Support Seal Sale "If everybody could see the way patients are treated at the state tu- berculosis sanatorium at Orlando, they would be more than willing, to give toward the support of the Christmas Seal drive,': said Asa uIl Sab Montgomery yester- o day, in telling the editor of The Star about his recent so- journ in that estab- lishment. S Asa, who recently 46 returned home af- .,.Tw PFtectin ter 10 months and agdSstTh wAl*$t 12 days of treat- ment at the sanatorium for a near- tubercular condition, said that he dreaded going for treatment, but that after he had been there a few days and discovered what type of place the sanatorium was, his fears dissolved like the morning mists ltcfore the rising sun. "The people of Florida have something to be proud of in this tuberculosis sanatorium," said Mr. Montgomery. "I had no idea it was such -a fine establishment, and I couldn't have been treated at home any better than I was there tne doctors and nurses were kind, cour- teous and understanding, and I be- lieve you could loolkthe world over and not find any better doctors and nurses. ; "The food was very good, in spite of war-time restrictions. It was well-prepared and served, and if anyone went hungry it was their own fault, for we were practically begged to eat everything in sight. (Continued on page 6) Stores Will Remain Open Next Wednesday Afternoon Due to the fact that they will be closed all day next Thursday for Thanksgiving, the majority of the city's business establishments have indicated that they will remain open all day next Wednesday, in- stead of observing the ,usual half- day closing.

Dr. Deane expressed the wish that the local church would, soon secure a new pastor to live in the manse, since it is the wish of Rev. \V. A. Daniel to retire. Dr. Deane's subject for his message was "A Changing World." About twenty members of the Quincy church were present for the dedication. 'Tain't My Bill, Says Chestnut City Commissioner Says He Only Introduced Measure Prohibiting Women Working In Bars .An ordinance introduced by City Commissioner J. R. Chestnut at a special meeting of the commission held November 6 seems to have stirred up quite a bit of talk and speculation in certain quarters and with authorship of the ordinance being credited to Commissioner Chestnut. The ordinance would prohibit employment of females "by ven- dors engaged in the sale or serv- ing of intoxicating beverages." Commissioner 'hestnut feels he has been singled, out for blame in introducing the ordinance, and on his behalf we publish the following letter: To the Citizens of Port St. Joe: (Thru courtesy of Editor Bill) Ordinarily I do not pay much at- tention to the activities of Dame Ruumor, but when good citizens, evidently stirred up by that well known lady's activities, accuse me of various and sundry acts con- cerning most of which I know nothing, I feel it only fair to me and my constituents to attempt to clarify the matter of womanless bars in Port St. Joe. Dame Rumor has it that I spon- sored the ordinance to forbid the employment of women in places where alcoholic drinks are sold, when, as a matter of fact, the city attorney, E. Clay Lewis Jr., made some remarks in a commissioner's meeting as to how street disorders wherein women participated might be done away with. It is tru that I spoke up and said, I would favor such an ordin- ance- if it would help the situation. Since I made these few remarks the ordinance came un for first reading and was handed to me for introduction as being my ordin- ance. I did introduce the measure, hut 'it was no more mny ordinance than it was the ordinance of any of the-members of th'e board of city cancy caused by appointment of L. commissioners. P.

City Is Success Raise Approximately $170 for Use In Paying Off Debt On Com- munity Building All who took in the chicken sup- per given at White City last Frl- day night to raise funds to pay off the debt on the recenftly-built com- munity building really had a good time and a superb supper, for those ladies at White City really (know their cooking technique. Stet Pritgeon reipotts that some 150 people were fed and that after small incidental expenses were de- ducted that approximately $170 was realized to apply on the build- ing debt, leaving abotit $100 yet to bh naid off. Guests were served plates heaped with chicken and rice, string 'beans, and sweet potatoes, a lettuce and tomato salad, with a dessert of ginkesbread cake buried under a mound of whipped cream. Maxy lined up for seconds, and the last time we saw Mayor Horace Soule he was on his fifth slice of cake and whipped cream. Delicious home-made nougat and pecan rolls were sold, a fruitcake ,.affled off, being won by Clarence Sullivan, and a number of cakes walked off in a cake-walk, lucky winners in this event being Sarah Sealey, Horace Soule and George Tapper. Music for ,the cake-walk was provided by the .Dickey trio. Coffee in unlimited quantities was brewed in a8huge kettle on an open fire in front of the building, and during the course of the evening Jim Sealey circulated among the crowd with a large cof- fee pot and kept the cups' filled.

Taunton Post 8197, Veterans of Foreign Wars, a re-solution was adopted to investigate, through tihe county service officer, the feasibil- ity of the Veterans Adminstration establishing the Port St. Joe mu- nicipal hospital for emergency vet- eran cases. The post also deplored the fact that all merchants did not close in observance of Armistice Day. Commander Ken Creech urged all members to attend the next ,meeting, November 26, and also asked that all veterans of the Spanish-American War, and World Wars I and II who served with honor overseas become' affiliates with the local post.

Kiwanis Speaker Praises Schools Supervisor of State Department of EduCation Pays Surprise Visit TO City By HARRY McK NpHT Guest speaker ,at tho' Kiwanis luncheon Wednesday was D. E. Williams, supervisor of the state department of education Mr. Wil- liams, who visited the ?ort St. Joe schools, gave his impressions of the local school systeM'. He paid a glowing compliment o the teach- ers, pupils and officials and said that he was. very fayprably im- pressed with what he ..siw. Mr. Williams' visit was in .the na- ture bf an inspection trip for the Southern Accredited Association. It was something of a surprise to Su- perintendfent Tom Owens and Prin- cipal W. A. Biggart, and the fact. that Mr. Williams was so compli- mentary gratified, the school au- thorities no end. The Port St. Joe schools had applied for membei- ship in the association. "The spirit of your students is very fine," said Williams, "and ar- ter observing their attitude in sev- etal of the classrooms, I especially noted the fact that your boys and girls are studying not only the things which will fit them for gooil citizenship, but also the conditions and assets of your town and county. This, I think, is a fine thing, be- cause it will no doubt result in the future :business and development in Gulf county being vested in these same young people, rather than be- ing exploited by outside interests." Other guests of the club were W. A. Biggart, Nobie Stone, Key Clun- bers Bill Traweek and Randall Brady, R. R. Boyer, member of the Panama City Lions Club, and Floyd Lister of Wewahitchka. W. P. (hereafter known as Pete) Comforter was officially inducted Christmas Seal Sale Will Open Next Monday Proceeds From Sale Sole Support Of Gulf County Tuberculosis Association Residents of Gulf county Mon- day will receive sheets of 1946 Christmas Seals in their mail. The seals will bring greetings from the Gulf County Tubetrculosis Associa- tion-and a reminder that the 6 0o tinned work of the association In fighting tuberculosis in our county depends upon the use local- rei- dents make of the seals. This will be the 40th annual sale of Christmas Seals in this country and, according to Nobie Stone, president of the Gulf county asso- ciation, 2900 associations will con- duct seal sales this year to raise funds for local and state tubercu- losis control programs. The 1946 seal shows a lamp- lighter lighting his lamp against a starry blue sky and is symbolic of the returning hope of the worla after the dark years of war. To commemorate the 40th annual sale each sheet of seals has a center In- sert of four special seals bearing the likeness of one. woman and three, men who made outstanding contributions to the first seal sale in 1907. "Christmas Seals have been sold in Gulf county for ten years," said Stone. "The proceeds from the saie are the sole support of .iJe uqary tuberculosis association. .Of the money raised here, 74 per cent is used within Gulf county. Of the remainder, 21 per cent is turned over to the state organization tO help finance state-wide activities, and 5 per cent is forwarded to the national association to help sup- port its work on a national scale," Chavers-Fowhand To Occupy New Building The Chavers-Fowhand Furniture Company, now occupying the Ned- ley building next to Miller's Drug Store, will move into the new store building now being erected at the corner of Reid Avenue and Fourth Street by Charles "Bo" Brown.

The Tattler Voters Turn Thumbs Down On Five of Six Amendments T h e constitutional amendment authorizing Orange county to con- solidate county and 'municipal of- fices was the only one of six pro- posals approved by Florida voters in. the November 5 general elec- tion. The secretary of state's office Tuesday said. official returns indi- cated, approval of the Orange amendment by a '43;264 to 40,689 vote. The other five proposed changes to the state constitution, inclut- ing the two affecting the state's financial system, were soundly ve- toed by the, voters. Th e amendment placing the budget director under absolute con- trol of the legislature. instead of under the governor as provided by a 1945 law, was defeated 94,922 to 28,265, while the proposal to end most so-called, "continuing appro- priations" lost by a 92,579 to 29,247 margin. Incomplete returns also showed the amendment exempting Plant City from consolidation of county and municipal offices in Hillsbor- ough was defeated. The Bay county consolidation proposal, wts beaten by a 44,372 to 37,232-vote. The amendment calling for di.. rect election of Ahe judge and, so- licitor of the Escambia court of record lost by a narrow 42,218 to 39,838 vote. The two officials are now nominated in primaries and appointed by the governor.

Our Country Right or Wrong THANKSGIVING Another Thanksgiving is at hand and Port St. Joe has much to be thankful for, both in material-and spiritual way. We have continued here a normal growth not only in the matter of, population, material wealth and progress, but in doing the go things that make a community and its people better-and happier. We have steadily im- proved our social and civic conditions; we have conducted a community free from out- standing offenses against state, society, or the Lord; we have cared for the needy, arid we have improved and bettered the playground and recreational facilities for our youth,'the hope of our future. We have a community of friendliness,, our people living at peace with the world, with their God, and with theit fel- low man. It is not an occasion for emulating the pub- lican and boasting claims of superiority, but it should be a genuine cause for thankfulness in an humble way, that while we live in a conimuniity so blessed with nature's charms our daily lives are marked by so many of the better man-shaped accomplishments.. , Into the lives of many there have. of course, crept some of the disturbing elements of life. Those who have faced them as tests, and have shown strength in doing so, have conquered and are better fdr it. There are few who can- not truly find in their lives something to be thankful for. If our material prosperity has not been so great, there is always the fact that it has been less pronounced in the lives .of others. If ill health has beset us, there are always the examples about us of those whc have not fared even so' well. Even in the sor- row of bereavement there is always recom- pense in ,he fact that other dear ones are left and consolation in the promise of Him who said there is eternal life for those who seek it Regardless of the present state of anyone in Port St. Joe, there is forever and always something in life for them to be thankful for The sunshine, when it breaks through the clouds, always shines brighter for having been obscured.

Decades of wholesale, indiscriminate cutting have left huge gashes in the green mantle which once extended from coast to cost. The fruits of the "cut out and get out" policy can be seen in the slashed, abandoned areas, the ghost towns with their huge piles of weathered sawdust, and in costly soil erosion. It has been the func- tion of t-ie conservationists to inform the op- orators, both large and small, that the national heritage of trees would not last forever. If the timber is to last, trees must be planted to replace those which are cut for timber, pulp or qther purposes. Georgia's department of forestry has preached this doctrine in the state with marked success. The advantages of re- t forestation have been obvious in the case of a pulp pine, which grows quickly and has already become a major money crop inr the South. Not so dramatic, but just as important, is the ne- l ,Iessity for replacement of hardwood trees. In j their case, the growth to timber size takes e longer and the profit motive, so far as invest- ment for the future is concerned, less com- e pelling. Richard L. Neuberger, writing in The Na- e tion, advocates passage of a,fed-eral law regu- e lating timber cutting on private lands in such d a manner as to enforce sustained-yield prac- e tices. A bill to this purpose has' been drawn up by Representative Frank Hook of Michigan, h who feels that the United States can no longer ; afford such spoiling of natural resources as took place in the Great Lakes region when loggers could cut at will. It is significant that the Hook bill has the backing of the union loggers themselves. For years the lumberjacks took no interest in conservation, gleefully de- a, stroying the young trees as they knocked over the giants,' but now they realize that their jobs A will dial-,pre-'r with the forests. There is a point beyond which education, fire prevention and lectures on scenic beauty will not suffice to save the trees. If a man owns a piece of land covered with timber, he can hardly be blamed-human nature being what it is--for converting his timber to cash. The fact that he destroys in a few days a growth of trees which adorned the earth long t , before he was born, makes no difference. To- .day he has every legal right to do so. That is \why a federal law like the Hook bill, which o compensates the private oowvner but also pro- tects the public's very real interest in forest preservation, must eventually be passed.-The ' Atlanta Journal. e Famous last words: "Let's be fair," cried s the labor le'ider to his minions, "and demand . less money for less work." e ~ E' ." n The burning question of the hour is "Who will get. up and start the fire?" 6w hmrni~m h.b . * q"Copyrighted Material -- Syndicated Content Available from Commercial News Providers" QW- 4b lo~.w -0 mw0 -d o h.-.
