THE STAR The Home Newspaper of Northwest Florida's Future Industrial Center VOLUME X PORT ST. JOE, FLORIDA, FRIDAY, JANUARY 10, 1947 NUMBER 15 Lawyer Urges Single House To Make Laws Bar Association Unit Chairman Makes Suggestion In Law Journal Article Provisions for a one-house legis- lature and for abolishment of all. courts except the circuit and su- p)reme benches were suggested in a Florida Law Journal article for inclusion in any new state consti- tution. The article, which should be of interest to residents of Port St. Joe, since the state's, .first basic laws were drawn up here in 1838 at a constitutional convention, was 'written by Dan H. Red'fearn of Mi- ami, chairman of.the State Bar As- sociation's special committee on constitutional revision. He -proposed retaining the pres- ent .prohibitions against levying of income and inheritance taxes by the state and, commented that the exemption of homesteads tip to' $5,000 from taxation "will doubt- less. be retained in any new consti- tutions which are adopted by the people of Florida.'" There has been much talk in re- cent years of rewriting the Florida constitution, which went into ef- fect 60 years ago, but the machin- ery for -carrying out the revision nIver 'has been set in motion.- Redfearn said the present body of basic law "has been amended 82 times', Ad it still 1i unsuited to the present and f'utiii needs of Florida in many particulars." The Miami attorney, suggesting the unicameral legislature, said ne had asked opinions of residents and officials of Nebraska, which is the only state that has only one branch in its legislature.

And the reason is that his store n;pw oc- cupies the new commodious "Bo" Brown building recently completetf at the corner of Fourth Street and Reid Avenue. The new quarters give Durel (we believe) more than twice the space he had in his' former location in the Nedley building adjoining Mil- ler's Drug Store. -- ------ To Make Home Here hMr. and Mrs. E.

Tankers Carry Many Odd Cargoes The number one task of Amer- Ica's great of tankers is to trans- port petroleum products needed to run-our automobiles, and to heat our homes. But some tankers carry different types of liquid cargoes that are equally essential. Tankers are employed to haul a wide variety, of cargoes that vary in range f1om ordinary water to highly valuable- whale oil. Most of these cargoes require special equipment and precautions in their handling. ,For instance, asphalt shipped up from the Cariblbean is carried in tankers equipped with large heat- ing coils that must maintain a con- stant temperature between two hundred andi two hundred and sev- enty degrees to prevent the as- phalt from solidifying. Tar and creosote are other cargoes that must be kept under high 'tempe*- ature during the voyage. Molasses is also shipped by tan- ker, and to facilitate its discharge is heated a day or two before the vessel reaches port. Industrial al- cohol, which is a product of mi lasses is frequently shipped in- stead of the stickey substance, but this can only be transported in tankers that are particularly well cleaned. Aqua-ammonia and caustic soda require tankers that are es- pecially equipped, to be immune to the chemical properties- of these cargoes. When the hunting season Is on in the Antarctic, tankers go down with fuel oil for the whaling fleet and, return with precious cargoes obtained' from the whales. Palm oil, linseed oil and coconut oil are also transported to this country ,via tankers. Transportation of water by tank- Kers had. its greatest development during the war in the Pacific when local :,pl;eF..,'-er not a;,e,1"pla for o-Ji :' .ati.i-d fighting forces' 'In eaceTIme, there are still many *places where cargoes of fresh wa- ter is highly welcome. In some outposts in oil producing areas off the normal trade routes, tankers with extraordinarily large refrig- erating space also bring meats anc? foodstuffs.

Our Country Right or Wrong DIMES MARCH ONWARD Once again it becomes the privilege of every resident of Gulf county to join actively in one of the great peace-time battles waged by man in his ceaseless struggle to make his world a better place in which to live. This is the relentless battle against infantile paralysis-common enemy of all, regardless of age or accident of birth-spearheaded by the annual March of Dimes, to be held this year from January 15 to 30. IComing as it does, in the wake of the sec- ond worst epidemic of the disease ever to rav- age our nation, 'the 1947 March of Dimes de- serves and will undoubtedly. receive the fullest support of every Gulf countian who not only wants to help those unable to help them- selves. but to insure for himself and his fam- ily the best available care should the dread cripplerr strike. This county was lucky in the. last epidemic, with not a single case reported, but next" time the scourge may take a heavy toll of our children. The National Foundation for Infantile Par- alysis is the property of the American people,. who .-uppiti it with their dimes. It has no other means for obtaining funds. What it gets it gets through the March of Dimes, and through the March of Dimes only. Not only is the national foundation pledged to do its' utmost when epidemic-or even indi- vidual cases-breaks out, but its ceaseless re- search into the causes of the diesase is the only promise we have that some day that cause will be discovered and rendered harmless. In the meanwhile, we can all gather satTs- faction from the fact thatno one stricken with the disease, regardless of age, race, creed or color, need go without adequate care through lack of funds--and polio is among the most ex- pensive of human afflictions. There are three things we know with cer- Return To School Returning to college Sunday to resume their classes after spend- ing the holiday season here with their parents. and friend's were Don- ald 'Wewa' Linton, to the University of Georgia, Athens, Ga., and Gale "'Bodie" Traxler, to Gordon Mili- tary Academy, Barnesville, Ga.

Polio will strike again-where or when we do not know. When it does strike, the coniniunity will be ready-the national foundation guarantees that. And the national foundation will be ready because the March of Dimes will see to that! (live generously, give proudly, give thank- fully-to the 1947 March of Dimes! THIS PORTAL TO PORTAL BUSINESS We were reading a news article on this por- tal to portal business that some of the large unions are bringing up and the thought struck us: "(Good gush, supposing everybody went in for that !" (For those of our readers,who may not know what it's all about, several unions are demanding that concerns pay workers for the time they enter the premises until the time they leave, instead of just for the time they put in after they punch the time clock and they're going after it for some six or eight years back.) \ But. as we said, the thought struck us what if everybody asked for similar recompense. We'll say you have a house built on the back end of a 150-foot lot, and it is 100 feet from their front gate to your door, making 200 feet for the round trip. We'll take it for granted that J. R. Guilford delivers your milk, Gus Creech brings your laundry, and Clarence Pridgeon delivers your groceries. Of course the editor of The Star is out of it, since you get your Star through the mail. We'll say it takes two minutes to make the round trip from the gate to the door. Guilford brings you a quart of milk daily, therby run- ning up 730 minutes a year, of 97 hours over an eight-year period. Creech makes the same trip once a week, but he stops to collect and chat a few minutes, say seven minutes alto- gether (you know how he loves to talk), for a total of 364 minutes a year, or 49 hours over an eight-year period. Then Pridgeon brings the groceries three times a week, aid Ire talks ,about as long as Gus for a-total of 1,092 min- utes yearly, or 145 hours for eight years. >Now just supposing they started figuring up that time, say at a dollar an hour (and they are just as much entitled to it as anybody else) you would get demands for $291 from them- and for services that you believed you had already paid for. We wouldn't like it either* Portal to portal pay is okeh as far as we're concerned, if put into effect, but we can't see any grounds for collecting it for years past.

Reddy is no exception, for he plans to renew his old resolutions to give better service at less cost per "Reddy' Hour." rhe fact .that he has kept his resolution during the past twenty years is borne out by the fact that he now does twice as much work for the some amount of money as he did twenty years ago. It's a swell way to start the new year right by re- solving to "GO ALL ELECTRIC" and let Reddy do the home tasks for you. You see, the more you use him ... the less it costs per "Reddy Hour." FLORIDA POWER CORPORATION (Continued from Page 1) "Apparently there is no desire on the part of. the people, of Ne- braska after several years' trial ot' the one-house plan, to return, to the two-hous.a system," he said. He said that the two-housle legis- lative system of Florida a.nd the federal govern ent was patterned after the British Parliament. in which the house of lords since 1911 has ih:Id no more than token power. "The bicameral system was trieu in En'gland for centuries and then abandoned because of its inefficien- cy," Redifearn said. "Yet, in mod- ern Florida, we cling to this Eng- lish system, with its cumbersome legislative machinery. The people of Florida should thoroughly de- bate whether to take this import- ant change in legislative machin- ery before a constitutional conven- tion is called." Whether the one-house system is adopted, or not, Redfearn said, the .new constitution should pro- vide for more equitable represen- taition in the legislature and a inore workable means of reappor- tionment. His proposal for revising the ju- Idicial system would call for abol- ishing tih e positions of county judges, justices of the peace and various special criminal and civil courts of reco dis, juvenile courts and, courts of crimes. In their place would be a system of circuit courts with more judges and special divisions for criminal, civil, probate, domestic relations and small claims cases. "Under such a system only one clerk of the court would be necessary in each county," Redfearn said. He also proposed doing away with zhe legislative impeachment procedure f or unseating judges, which he called "cumbersome" andI useless. He would substitute, a me- thod of trial before a committee composed of three supreme court justices, three circuit judges and one layman to be named bthy the chief justice after impeachihent by the supreme court.
