THE STAR The Home Newspaper of Northwest Florida's Future Industrial Center VOLUME X PORT ST. JOE, FLORIDA, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 1946 NUMBER 9 Figures Indicate December 1 Set As 'Ye Ed Dines On Duck, Premarital Law Is Xmas Seal Sunday Squirrels and Chayotes PrDovin" Slclcess[ -- --- The editor of The Star this week ^-- ---- Large Number of Unknown Cases of Syphilis Are Discovered Through 'Blood Tests ,Success .of Florida's year-old pre- marital law is indicated 'by figures released from the state board of health's bureau of preventable dis- eases. The figures show that a large number of unknown cases or syphilis were discovered through blood tests which a couple desir- ing to marry in Florida must have under the premarital law. It was pointed out that-although marriages in the stat'have dropped since the law became effective, this was expected because a neigh- boring state does not have a law. However, it is also expected that in two or three years, marriages in the state will go back to normal. Dr. R. F. Soidag, director of the bureau, emphasized a ga in that some of the main objectives of rue law are to prevent an individual with syphilis from infecting the marital partner; to prevent the oc. currency of so called hereditary or congenital syphilis, and to un- cover eases of syphilis so that proper treatment can be given. Four health board laboratories handled a total of 40,378 remarital blood dtestsi during the first year period from October 1, 1945, thru September this yeai". Positive blood tests were higher among men than. women, and much higher among colored persons, ac- cording to the report. A positive blood test, it was pointed out, does not necessarily mean that the in- dividual is in a communicable stage of syphilis. This disease is not usually infectious, to the mari- tal partner after four or five years duration, even though treatment' has not been, given. This is true except when the person is a woman. It is more inm- portant for a woman to have a blood test as a measure of protec- tiion, because if syphilis is dis- covered and treated in women, their children will be protected against congenital syphilis, Dr. Sontag stressed. . A total of 33,580 prenatal blood tests were gone by the state board of health laboratories in the first year period. More than 4 per cent were positive.

The two tree sections shown above are, from natfiral lougleof pine saplings. At the start of the test the two saplings were five and a half feet tall. Eight years later the tree represented by the left section above, had grown 21 additional feet in height and measured four inches in, diameter. This tree was protected from forest fires for eight years. The section at the right came from a tree which was on an'area burned annually for eight years.

Much of the labor on the building was done by members of the con- gregation who, in the early stages of construction, worked on Wea- nesday afternoons and evenings, with the ladies of the congregation serving picnic suppers.

The school announced it now is making arrangements to provide dormitory accommodations f o r married: couples at the next sem- ester starting January 2.

Students have cam- paigned for it for years. The arrangement at Tallahassee was tried to care for the uni- versity's overflow, and' President Campibell says it is working satis- factorily, eliminating the "wolf" angles of soldier days.

The spoken word is given scant attention; the printed word is thoughtfully weighed. The spoken word barely asserts; the printed word thoroughly convinces. The spoken word is lost; the printed word remains. Our Country .-. Right or Wrong NOT MUCH WE CAN DO ABOUT IT Ray Adams, salesman for the Capital Paper Company of Tallahassee, on his regular bi- monthly call last week, handed the publisher of The Star a revised price list (upward, of course) on all types of paper and, naturally, we will be compelled to pass along the increase to our customers, as any other merchandising establishment might do. All manufacturers (and printing is classed as manufacturing) today are adding to the cost of what they produce the unavoidable increased expenses resulting from inflated la- bor, material and tax costs. And so the con- sumer, whether he be buying a job of print- ing, a suit of clothes, a bedroom suite, food- stuffs, or anything else, before he goes off the handle at the sight of higher prices, should understand just what is going on. The price of some articles now on the mar- ket may seem unreasonably high when com- pared with the prices set by the OPA. But we should also remember that under OPA con- trol these same articles did not even appear on the market, simply because the manufac- turers couldn't afford to make them and- sell them at prices set by OPA. In the .agricultural field, the elimination of subsidies has automatically raised prices to the consumer. The buyer, in other words, is now paying the whole cost of what he gets, rather than having the taxpayers pay some of it for him. And the farmer, too, must pass on increased labor and supply costs. Naturally we don't want any of our estab- lished stores here in Port St. Joe to be forced out of business, because we know the owners and they are our friends, so, on the retail level the position of the stores should be clear, and we should not be inclinel to shortsight- edly "take it out on the merchant." Any store here in Port St. Joe must pay the going whole- sale price for what it buys, then add the cost of operation and a profit to establish the price to the consumer. The only other course would be swift and certain bankruptcy. Eventually, as production rises and as pres- ent confused conditions clear, a stable price level based on the realities of current costs will gradually be reached. We, as individuals, can aid greatly in bringing that much-to-be- desired level about by buying only what we need when we need it and putting our surplus money in government savings bonds or de- positing it in a savings account, forgeoing those things we think we simply must have but in reality can do without. TOO MUCH SPARE TIME? President Robert M. Hutchins of the Uni- versity of Chicago wonders whether if we aren't killed by atomic warfare we shall not die of boredom in an area of atomic peace. He puts his finger on something that has been vaguely worrying plenty of people since it was first announced that it was possible to release the energy wrapped up in the atom. Suppose-that this energy could be harnessed solely for peaceful purposes. An industrial and' social revolution the like of which the world has never seen might ensue. The 30-hour week might be easy. With atoms applying power, perhaps a 10-hour week would be possible. Assuming that the benefits of such an in- crease of wealth were evenly spread, and man- ifested themselves ip less need to be busy with the world's work, would people be able to put in the extra time at play? The realist sees limits to the amount of time that can be spent in contentment without -serious and constructive work. On the principle that Satan finds work for idle hands, one is almost driven to fear that mankind might break out into wars just to re- lieve the monotony.-Philadelphia Bulletin. We managed to pick up a copy of Holiday magazine over at Smith's Pharmacy and read the 46 pages devoted to "Florida, the Gorgeous Hussy." We were somewhat disappointed, as the articles were devoted strictly to the east coast, P'alm Beach, Miami, Hialeah and St. Augustine, but we were somewhat cheered by a footnote saying: "We owe some apology to the west coast of Florida. The only reason it is omitted is that it deserves a whole section to itself, a full treatment which Holiday will give in a future issue." Naturally, since Port St. Joe is really where the state of Florida be- gan, with the constitutional convention, we can anticipate our little city being included in that "future issue" article. Man will find means to surmount the atomic peril, says a hopeful publicist-but we wonder. Did building a better mousetrap evolve a better mouse? -'-. Medical science has offered proof positive that it is possible to bleed to death without suffering pain.

Roark said that cities are en- titled to a real division of every dollar "'because they are the main sources of the tax income. They need a reasonable part of the gaso-' line tax we pay in our. cities; all the cigaret tax we pay locally; some of the liquor tax, and some relief from homestead exemption.' City Clerk M. P.

NEW TAX EXEMPTION MEASURE IS PROPOSED The 1947 legislature will receive a bill proposing that widows, vet- erans and disabled persons 'be freed of having to submit separate city and county tax exemption applica- tions. The measure is the project of Dade County Tax Assessor J. N.
