THE STAR The Home Newspaper of Northwest Florida's Future Industrial Center VOLUME X PORT ST. JOE, FLORIDA, FRIDAY, JANUARY 24, 1947 NUMBER 17 Big Weekly Pay Roll In Prospect For Port St. Joe Park-Wood Lumber Co. Holdings To Be Made Into Crossties; Ball Team Returns Home (Ed. Note: This is another of those stories from a copy of The Port St. Joe News of August 27, 1926, several issues of which were loaned to us by Postmaster H. A. -Drake.) ' It is reported that the entire tim- ber holdings of the Park-Wood Lumber Co. will be manufactured into..crossties'. It is the intention to let this operation to contract on a basis of the delivery of 2000 ties per day, which would necessitate the employment of about 250 men. Basing the output on 2000 ties per day would. in case all of the timber was made into crossties, take at least foui years to exhaust it. With the employment of 250( men on this proposition, it would mean a weekly payroll of around $10,000 and would be quite an ad- dcition to the business life of Port St. Joe. St. Joe Wins, Ties and Loses' The Port St. Joe ball club re- turned Saturday from Louisville, Ala., where they. indulged in a four-gainme series with the Louis- ville team. ,St. Joe copped the first game 5 to 2 wit-h McKeithenot themo'ulon. The second game, won by Louis- ville -2 to 0, was ta pitcher's battle between Drake and King, each giv- ing up only one hit. The last two games were played Friday. The first game, seven inn- (Continued on Page 3) ----------T<--------- Grand Ole Opry Troupe To Appear At State Fair Grandstand entertainment at the Florida State Fair on seven of the eleven night programs, Febrnary 4 to 15,'will revolve around the zany caprices of Whitey Ford, the laugA- provoking Duke of Paduka of radio, fame and his troupe of entertain- ers from the Grand Ole Opry.

MARCH OF DIMES COLLECTION TO BE TAKEN UP AT THEATER No regular collections will hbe taken up at the Port theater this year during the March of Dimes, but girls will take u.p a collection each night from, 6 to 8:30 in the theater lobby. Be generous. Called Here By Sister's Illness 'Mr. and Mrs. Marvin Thurman of Jackson, Miss., are here to be at the bedside of the latter's sister, Mrs. C. M. Warner, who recently underwent an operation at the mu- nicipal hospital. Patient At Hospital ' Mrs. John Gilbert is a patient at the local 'hospital this week. We Want All the News, But Let's Co-operate The editor of The Star appreci- ates beyond measure the fact that our readers are continually turning in news items of church and club activities, personals, birthday parties, and so on. In fact, with our nose to the grind- stone all the time, if it wasn't for this interest taken by our loyal readers The Star would be sadly lacking in these items that go to make up a readable paper more than anything, else. But we would like those who send in items to get first names or initials. Instead of writing "Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Johnson," make it "Mrs. George Jones, Mrs. A. B. Smith and Mrs. Gladys Johnson." It sure would be a great help to us. We know 'most everybody's name in town, but occasionally we get the wrong initials on the right per- son, and vice versa. And that makes someone going some place or doing something when in re- ality perhaps they had not gone any place or were not present at some shindig where they were reported to be. We'll sure appreciate it, and we (know our readers will give us this co-operation. iiinIiiilillllll l lllllllflll nl l llllllllllllllll l New McCoy Super-Market Opens For Business Today Enmnett Daniel opens. his new McCoy super-market at 9 o'col'ck this morning in the. building adjoin- ing the Florida Power Corporation office on Reid Avenue formerly occupied by the Chavers-Fowhand Furniture Company.

Almost one-third of Florida's forest lands are under protection against fires. A greater proportion of our forest land is un- protected than in any other southern state. The effectiveness of fire prevention on our lands which are protected must be improved. The last year for which complete figures are available shows that only one other state had more fires on protected lands than Florida. We burned a greater proportion of our protected lands than any .other state, with the sole ex- ception of North Dakota, which is scarcely to be classified as a forested state in the first place. Almost alj. criterion, Florida stands at thC oitujim, or0 i.use to the bottom, o{ all the states with respect to control of forests fires. The responsibility for this condition is to be laid on the doorstep of our citizens as a whole. Fire prevention agencies, public and private, have been waging an uphill battle against pub- lic indifference, . Thi., indifference is an invitation to disaster. This indifference is robbing our state of in- dustries it needs, of jobs it must have. By "Keeping Florida Green," we invite industries which-need wood as their raw materials. LET YOUR DIMES SPEAK The annual March of Dime-s campaign is well underway in Gulf county, and the United States, and will serve as a means of collecting funds for the purpose of fighting infantile paralysis. This cause receives great emphasis in con- STARDUST and MOONSHINE Nothing much to write about this week, since we've hardly been out of the officethe past week too doggone busy. But we diia note a number of interesting items in various papers that struck our fancy. For instance: The most fre- quient cause of death among physi- cians is heart failure, and the aver- age age at death is 70 to 74. Looks lika medic-os follow their own ad- vice.

O wife really, disco' tasty in the food d'ay she ran acros old cook book givi how to prepare 'a chicken-and was nection with the late President Franklin D. Roosevelt, a sufferer from the disease, whose birthday occurs on January 30. Because of the great popularity of Mr. Roosevelt, the campaign for funds to fight infantile paralysis has been an outstanding success in the past. It should not be overlooked by the people of Gulf county, however, that there is much yet 'to be done in connection with the fight on this terrible disease. Research, the care of vic- tims, and some succor to people afflicted, arc the prime objectives of the experts who di- rect the war. Even here in our own county, a number of victims have been given wonderful aid, and the cause should be interesting to all of us. We should not hesitate to make as lib- eral a contribution as our means will permit to further the fight which must go on relent- lesslv. aggressi:vely. GAS TAX FOR ROADS County commissioners, in session at Jack- sonville recently, adopted a resolution advo- cating a reallocation of the' gasoline tax reve- nue so that it will go only to road purposes. This is in line with a general trend throughout the country, based on the fundamental prin- ciple that a tax contributed by users of the roads should be spent on roads. The commissioners suggested that one cent of the gasoline tax be allocated to counties for use in road construction and improvement. At present the seven cents gasoline tax is divided, four cents to the state road department,- two cents to the retirement of county>road bonded indebtedness, one cent equally divided between the general fund and an emergency fund for the schools, to be spent if needed. The commisnsioners hold that sice this half cent is not used altogether for schools, and the general fund does not need its half cent, this one cent be allotted to the counties entirely ,A for highway purposes. That makes sound sense. -Tampa Tribune. Help prevent forest fires. Be sure that your match is out before throwing it away. And don't throw, away burning cigars or cigarets. "Keep Florida Green!""
