PORT ST. JOE, FLORIDA, NEW YEAR'S DAY, 1947


Suggests Lar ger

Portion of Racing

Fund Go To Cities

Mayor Soule Would Have Port St.
Joe and Wewahitchka Split 50
Per Cent On Pro Rata Basis

With operating costs in all de-
partments of the city on the up-
grade and 'with practically every
source of revenue already being
tapped, 'Mayor Horace Soule came
forth this week with a suggestion
'which, if put into -effect would aid
greatly in replenishing the city's
coffers and allow for a considerable
drop, in the 19.7 millage which is
no-w being assessed.
Briefly, Mayor Soule's suggestion
Is this:
Pointing out that the two cities
of the county, Port St. Joe and We-
waltitchka, provide a large portion
of the county's income in the form
of taxes, and yet receive but $3000
each from the race track funds a.l-
located to the county each year by
the state, Mayor Soule suggests
that the funds, be divided 50-50 be-
tween the county and the two
cities, with the 50 per cent allocated
to the cities divided on a pro rata
population basis. -
The 1945 state census shows that
of Gulf county's population 3,606
reside in the two cities and 3,404
outside, which is approximately a
half-and-half division. The popula-
tion of Port St. Joe is placed at
2,467 and Wewahitch-ka at 1,139,
which gives -Port' St. Joe slightly
more than twice the population of
the county seat city.
On this.basis, the $90,000 in race
t ack money received from the
state in 1946 would be divided $45,-
000 to the county, $30,000 to Port
.St.- Joe and $15,000 to. Wewa-
hitchka.
It is pointed out by Mayor Soule
that- this would be no more than
fair, since half of the county's pop-
ulation is urban and half rural, and
in addition,, of the county's. 7,010
-residents 5,015 live south of the
Iintracoastal canal and 1,995 north
of it.

'Song of the South' Has
Early Showing At Port

"Entertainment for Everybody':..
is the slogan that goes with Walt
Disney's newest. production, "Song.
of the South," which plays at the"
Port Theater Wednesday, Thurs-
day and Friday. In his .new pro-
duction, Disney has come up with
a picture like nothing he nor any-
one else has ever supplied t'he en-
tertainment screen. The story is
about a little, boy who listens to
the tales about Br'er Rabbit and
Br'er Fox, told him by the all-wise
Uncle Remus.
An unusually long run of three
days was decided upon by Manager
McCollum due to the great interest
the picture- has created in this sec-
tion of the country. Throughout the
Bouth "Song of the South" is rank-
ing up near "Gone With the Wind"
in popularity.

.MANGER SCENE AT ST.
JAMES IS BEAUTIFUL
While there were a number of
beautifully decorated outdoor trees
-throughout the city during the holi-
day season, the most outstanding
and eye-attracting motif of the glor-
ious season 'was a large manger
scene on the lawn of St. James
Episcopal Church, the work of Mr.
.and Mrs. Ralph Rich.

COUNT YOUR SCORE
The end of an old year and the beginning
of a new one is a good time to check up and
see where we have come and whither we are
headed. Business firms usually take an inven-
tory about this time, and each individual might
well do the same.
Dr. Hugh H. Bennett expressed the thought
ably in the following words: "There is really
no such thing as returning to the places and
people you remember from your youth. It is
a disquieting experience. You realize that on

Dear Editor Bill-Ever since the

have been more than anxious to get
'back to Port St. Joe. My health Is
steadily improving and I expect to
get back shortly after the first.
My assistants have been sending
me The Star, and, I have never ap-
preciated it more.
Incidentally tVey have. a very
wideawake First Federal & Loan
Association here, and one of the of-
ficials, knowing my interest in
loans,, housing, values and apr
praisals, was, kind enough to take
me over the town and show me the-
various properties on which they
had made loans. It was very inter-
esting, and' I find values here a
little higher than in St. Joe. This,
as you know, is a fruit and cattle

While it is a good idea, when taking stock,
to see whether we have made progress finan-
cially during the year, it is much more im-
portant to check on less tangible assets 'also.
Have we been good citizens of the com-
munity in every sense of the word-lending
our time, our energies, our substance to those
things which build, and refraining from those
things which tear down? Have we given our
children the opportunities they deserve in
proper nutrition, good health, schools and
other training? Have we aided the church and
other assets of the community, or have we
left that work to others because we have been
:oo busy or too indifferent to give of our time
and our substance?
These and other questions will help us ar-
rive at our true balance, will tell us whether
we are progressing as we should or just let-
ting another year pass because time inexor-
ably moves onward.
Immediately after Pearl Harbor, President
Roosevelt said, "We Americans are not de-
stroyers, we are builders." Has 1946 proven
this to be true in our case?


"We should tell children the truth about
Santa Claus," says an educator. And while
we're about it, why not tell the taxpayers
the same.
