THE STAR The Home Newspaper of Northwest Florida's Future Industrial Center VOLUME X PORT ST. JOE, FLORIDA, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 20, 1946 NUMBER 12 Your Xmas Seal Donation Keeps Association Up Those Who Have Neglected To Pay For Seals Sent Them Are Urged To Do So At Once Some time ago, back in Novem- ber, most residents of Gulf county received a letter from the Gulf County Tuberculosis Association containing an invitation to partici-' !pate in the work of the association -by purchasing the Christmas Seals enclosed. Many of us promptly accepted that invitation by buying the seals. A few of us intended to accept, but somehow we forgot to send in the money 'for our seals. Our negli- gence did not mean that we were not interested in the association, that we did not want it to continue its excellent work in preventing the spread of tuberculosis in our community. Far from it-we want the work to go ahead. We simply forgot that the association cannot function unless 'we purchase the seals, the sale of which is the sole support of the association. It still is not too late to answer the invitation of the tuberculosis association. We can still show our interest in its work, we can still participate in its community health program by sending in the money for our seals today. Special Christmas Services Sunday At Baptist Church Next Sunday the First Baptist Church will be the scene of Christl- mas services offering a rather at- tractive vareity.

Santa Claus Will Pay Port St. Joe Visit Tomorrow Jolly Old Saint Will Bring Yule Gifts To White and Colored Youngsters By TOM BYRNE Local Representative Claus & Co. Hear ye! Hear ye! Santa Claus is coming to town! All you children, and mothers and fathers-Santa Claus is going to be in Port St. Joe tomorrow at two Christmas trees. He will ar- rive by plane and be brought in from the airport by the fire truck, visiting the white folks at 3 o'clock at a Christmas tree already set up on the vacant lot next the police station on Reid Avenue, and greet- ing the colored folks at 6 o'clock at a tiee to be erected in front of Peters' store in the colored, quar- ters. Santa will come with a pack on his, back full of bags of candy and fruit for each. child, The, high school band will beon hand to greet Santa, and the.high school glee club will welcome lim with song. There 'will also be a program at the tree in the quarters. Members of the Junior Chamber of Commerce, composed of young and old citizens of Port St. Joe, are on the welcoming committee and are arranging for this visit, and are providing the tree, its' decorations and will help Santa.to bring his gifts of candy and fruit. A com- mittee of ladies is helping also by making ready some of the things to go into Santa's pack. The Jaycees are anxious that Santa receive a real welcome iln Port St. Joe, since arrangements f his visit were made at the last minute, rather crowding his sched- ule for this section, and are urging everyone to turn out for this cele- bration. Those who are children by reason of their tender years, and thos-e w ho are children in heart regardless of their years, are in- vited to the tree. Santa will have plenty for all the young people, but the chamber is asking the indul- gence of the older children by re- questing them to stand back when Santa calls up the young ones for their gifts. The group of public spirited city- zens making up the Jaunior Cham- ber of Commerce are hoping to make this Christmas tree, or some similar celebration of the Christ- mas season, an annual community .ffair. and plan to set the prece- dent this year for better celelbra- tions in the years to come. --k No Birthday Ball Scheduled In Infantile Paralysis Drive Joe Mira, Gulf county chairman of the annual drive for the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis, which is held. each January, an- nounced yesterday that there will be no dance held this year. It has been the custom in the past to stage a "President's Birth- dlay Ball" each year the latter part of January. PORT NEWS Sailed- Dec. 13-E. R. Kem9p. Dec. 15-Atlantic Coast. Dec. 16-Gulfgem.

Fire Tuesday Morning Damages LeHardy Bar The fire department was called out about 12:45 Tuesday morning to extinguish a blaze in the Le- Hardy Bar and Billiard Parlor. The. blaze, which was confined to t partition and a small section or the ceiling, apparently started from a lighted cigaret carelessly tossed' into a trash box by some thought- less customer. Dainage to the interior of the build.iing was estimated to be in the neighborhood of $300, and dam- age to stock at about $250, all of which was covered by insurance. Jaycees Sponsoring Basketball League A city basketball league, spon- sored by the Junior Chamber or Commerce, will begin play immedi- ately after the Christmas, holidays'. It is planned to have four teams in the league, three of which already are sponsored by the St. Joe Paper Company, McCoy Stores and Mer- chants. All basketball players who have not yet been signed up by one ot the above listed teams are asked to leave their name and address at the Carver Drug Store ------MRS. VAN HORN-----DIES MRS.

Tuesday while driving his car on Garrison Avenue en route hdme[. A colored man in a car following Williams' jeep with a trailer at- tached saw the car swerve sud- denwly from. the road and go into the ditch. When he stopped his car he found, Williams slumped over the wheel.

The Comforter Fu- neral Home was in charge of local ararngements. -. Need of Library Indicated By Withdrawal of Books Further proof that the public 11i brary being sponsored by the Ju- nior Woman's Club will fill a long- felt need, here is indicated by a report yesterday from Miss Mar- jorie Philyaw, school librarian, in which she stated that while regu- lations do not allow the withdrawal of books from the library by stu- dents over a long holiday period, the requests have been so numer- ous that the rule was waived this Yuletide and up to y sterday more than 80 books had been taken out. "And the amazing part of it is," said Miss Phiflyaw, "that the greater part of the books issued had not been assigned for home study. This seems to indicate that the students are eager to read good books." Edward Bartee Home On Leave Pfc. Edward Bartee arrived last week from Scott Field, Ill., for a short visit with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Boyer, before re- porting for overseas duty. Patient At Hospital Friends of Mrs. W. C.

It is with a great deal of satisfaction that we view the successful efforts of the Port St. Joe Junior Woman's Club in establishing a public library in our city, and we trust that every thinking person will see to it that they secure a membership in it, for an institution of this sort will fill a long-felt need here, not only for the older generation but for the young- sters who, when school closes are deprived of the use of a library until the following term. It.was such a move as this instigated by the Junior WVoman's Club that resulted in the magnificent public library system that today serves the state of California, providing books all descriptions for every city, town and ham- let that does not have a public or Carnegie library., .Quite a few years ago in California a few small towns established libraries similar to the one that opened here this week, the books being voluntary contributions by interested citizens. Other small towns and out-of-the- way hamlets followed suit and soon these li- braries were exchanging books with one an- other. Small weekly papers here and there be- gan boosting for county libraries for their particular counties to supply books for these scattered libraries. They kept pounding away, and soon the people were demanding that such central libraries be established, and they were, here and there about the state. A very small village was levied to care for these county-wide library systems, and most of them could not afford 'the more expensive books for research work and such, and so the small papers again took up the cudgel from all sections of the state, suggesting that the state of California establish a central library to furnish any book or books upon request to the county libraries. This was finally accom- plished, and today every town in California has access to books that formerly were avail- able only in the larger centers of population. Could be that with the aid of clubs in other cities of Florida working on similar projects that this little library here in Port St. Joe will be the nucleus of a state-wide library sys- tem that would supply books to every town and hamlet in the state that today is.without facilities of this type.
