JOE, FLORIDA, FDIDAY, JANUARY 31, 1947 NUMBER 18 Another Railroad County Polio I AMarch of Dimes Fund Here Is Possibility Cases Assured CaMarch of Dimes Fuxtended vCampaignExtended Sawmills Will Resusme Operation; Construction Work To Start Soon On Gorrie Bridge (Ed. Note: Don't go getting alt hopped up over the above head, for it is taken from The Port St. Joe News of September, 1926, several copies of which are now in the possession of Postmaster Drake.) It is possible, and would not be surprising, if another railroad ex- tends its line into this part. Repre- sentatives, of the .men behind tlns movement were in the city a short time ago .looking over the situation and gathering data. It is known that the mayors of Port St. Joe and Apalachicola, the county commissioners of Gulf and Franklin counties, as well as many of the leading citizens of the two cities, had. sent telegrams to the attorney for the company endors- ing the project and offering full co-operation in the matter. It is understood that-this exten- sion had been contemplated for quite a while and' that the neces- sary acreage had now been secured which would give them "an outlet on St. Joseph's 'Bay for docking fa- cilities inducing them to make Port St. Joe 4the southern terminal of their road. Sawmills To Resume Operation The swamills which have been located on the prairie between White City and Dalkeith, formerly operated' by the Hammer & Smith Co., have been taken over by Mr. Hamu of Chipley' and associates of Pensacola, and .will resume opera- tion in the near future. Construction ,of Bridge To Start It is. reported that DrlKe.ly, thb promoter of the Gorrie Bridge across Apalachicola Bay to East (Continued on page 5) Naval Reserve Unit To Be Organized In This Section of State Robert Miller, BM 1/c,' of Wa- kulla, recruiter for the navy re- cruiting substation in Tallahassee, dropped in at The Star office yes-, terday for a little publicity, seeing as how he will be calling in Port St. Joe ev3ry Thursday, and .during the course of the conversation he mentioned that a naval reserve unir was being contemplated, for this vicinity, saying that it would re- quire about 35 men. There's something for the Junior Chamber of Commerce to look into, for Bos'n Miller said that the navy has installed ,approximately-a mil- lion dollars' worth of electronic equipment in the Tallahassee unit. "I will be in Port St. Joe every Thursday from 1 to 3 p. m. at the postoffice," said Miller, "and will acept enlistments in the regular navy and naval reserve V-6 (inac- tive)." Miller called special attention to the fact that those, men who wish to retain the rate they held at time) of discharge may do so by enrolling in the naval reserve V-6. This re- serve is open for enlistments of all those who are ex-members of the navy, marine corps, army or coast guard.Men who have had no prior military service in any branch of the armed forces who are 17 and under 181/2 years of age and those men 30 and under 40 years of .age will also be accepted in the reserve.

February 20 at 8 o'clock in the school auditorium. -This affair promises an inter- esting and amusing evening, so keep this date in reserve and watch for further announcements. Joe Mira, Gulf county chairman for the March of Dimes, stated yesterday that due to the fact that but 80 of the 1000 envelopes sent out January 17 have been returned, the March of Dimes fund campaign, which was to have ended today, will be ex- tended for another week, and longer if necessary.

Giving the lie, to these unfounded rumors, we publish below a letter i'eceived by the county chairman of the local chapter from /Mrs. J. C. Culpepper of this city, whose small daughter was a polio victim . It speaks for itself: "There seems to be some dis- cussion at this time as to whether cr not we received, any assistance from the local chapter during our child's hos:pitalizati-on at the Warm Springs hospital, and I would like to make this clear to the public that our case was handled with due consideration and assistance from our local chapter. "We have expresesdi our thanks and appreciation to you and to the, members of the board personally for the assistance given, but feel t-hat there are others who are in- terested in knowing this, too. As the annual March of Dimes-.is now underway" there are thl. -whom I feel would be more responsive if they knew that they have helped someone by their contribution to the March of Dimes.

District Meeting Of Red Cross Officials Held Here Monday Atlanta Regional Director Explains How Funds Will Be Raised In March Campaign' The Woman's Club room at the Centennial Building Monday was the scene of a very enthusiastic meeting of Red Cross officials from the area office at Atlanta and vari- ous towns in Florida and Georgia. Purpose of the meeting was in the main a round table discussion of the coming' fund campaign in March. The meeting was called to order by Thos. R. L. Carter, local execu- tive secretary, due to the fact that the chairman, Floyd Lister of We- wahitchka, was' temporarily de- layed. Mr. Carter introduced George W. Jones, general field represent. tive for the Tallahassee-Pensacola district, who carried on from that point. Allen J. Carter, regional director from Atlanta, Ga., was the principal speaker and dwelt on how the amount to ,be raised by the fund drive was to be arrived at. He stated that every item in the bud- get had been reduced with the ex- ception of a 9 per cent increase for Red Cross services In veterans hos- pitals, explaining that as this serv- ice was increasing it was natural that the Red Cross should increase its outlay toward this very import- ant work, and that last year almost two million cases _were hanadred by the Red Cross in veterans hospitals and with outside local conta,-t-. i" further explained that for the past three years $10,000,000 was always held intact in the R:ed Cross treas- ury for disaster relief. At the conclusion of the meeting all adjourned to Frances Grill tv (Continu'ed on page 8) Right-of-Way For Beacon Hill Wewahitchka Road To Be Secured By County At the last meeting of the board of county commissioners that body entered into an agr--ement with the state road department whereby the county will secure title to a right- of-w1ay for the (cui i H.h of .a paved highway from Beacon Hill to Wewathitchka via Overstreet, a par- tial survey of Which has already been made by the roaddepartment. Thos. R. L. Carter of this city was authorized by the board to prepare the necessary abstracts required for the right-of-way, .borrow pits and drainage ditches and for search of title for each tract through which the new highway will pass. Other matters transacted by trie commissioners at this meeting was the reinstatement of W. R. Connell of Wewahitchka as chairman of the board for 1947, the retaining o! E. Clay Lewis, Jr., of this city as attorney for the board and as prosecuting attorney for the county judge's court for the year 1947, and designation of The Star as the of- ficial newspaper of Gulf county for the year 1947.

PAGE_ TWO_ TH TR OTS.JE' FCUTFOIAFIAJNAY3,14 Two Good Games Are Scheduled Tonight In City Basketball League Port St. Joe basketball fans will have the opportunity tonight to see twdo games in the City League be- tween evenly-matched teams. The first game at 8 o'clock will be between Apalachicola American Legion and St. Joe Paper Company and may have much to do in de- ciding the league championship. In the last meeting of these two teams the favored Apalachicolans were upset by the Paper Makers, who have yet to drop a tilt. It was the only loss for Apalachicola. The second game will find this cellar-dwelling Merchants trying to overcome McCoy's and- break into the win column. The Merchants have shown improvement and in their last game gave the Apalachi- cola boys the scare of their lives before losing ,by three points. Drive out to the Centennial Au- ditorium tonight and' cheer for your favorite teams. In last Frid:ay's games the St. Joe Paper Company won from Mc- Coy's by a score of 19 to 10, and the Merchants lost to Apalachicola American Legion 24-18. Wednesday night's fracas saw the Paper Makers down the Mer- chants in a close tilt by a score of 19 to 18, while the Apalachicola Legion smothered McCoy's 37 to 16, all of which gives us the following standings: Team- W L Pct.

The tilt was anybody's up until the last quarter, when the visitors stepped into the lead, the final score being 29 to 21. The two teams are made up as follows: Yellow (working girls) Helen Hend erson, Sarah Duke, Hazel Ca- sob, Lenora Fisher, Verna Mahon, Margaret Tharpe, Karlene Owens, Jewel Covington,, Jimmy Creamer.

Our Country Right or Wrong UNION WARNS MEMBERS Before the election, the 850,000 members of the International Brotherihood of Teamsters, an AF-L union, were warned by their official organ, which is received monthly at The Star office, that "strikes have become a national menace." An editorial in the official organ, The International Teamster, characterized strikes as an invitation to inflation, and de- pression and warned that "they must be cur- tailed or the nation will sink into chaos, and organized labor will perish." Declaring that the union "did not reach its present position '-of _power and influence by1 letting screwballs run wlid," the editorial em- phasized its determination to stamp out wild- cat strikes, declaring that local union charters would be revoked and individual strikers fined, suspended or expelled for' violation of the or- ganization's rules. While making no reference to the two months' general trucking strike in New York and the 50-day tieup of certain delivery serv- ices, which were not sanctioned-oy the inter- national union, the editorial insisted that the union would exercise its power to maintain a disciplined organization, warning that "if it shirks that duty, the government will act." Moreover, it declared that "the responsibility for many restrictive laws that have been passed can be laid directly at the door of wild- cat strikers." Survivors of Veterans Must Claim Benefits Immediately Under the 1946 amendments to the social security act, survivors of World War II veterans who died prior to August 10,. 1946 have until February 10, 1947 to file claims for old,-age and, survivors insurance THE STAR, PORT ST. JOE, GULF COUNTY, FLORIDA .CUT OUT SCHOOL POLITICS The citizens committee on education, which for some time past has been making a survey of the Florida school system and making sug- gestions -for improvement, last week made one recommIendation of which we heartily approve., and that was to remove petty poli- ticles from the public school system and leave its control in the hands of the people. The committee recommendations included increasing school boards to five or seven memllbers (depending on size of the county) the members of which would qualify by elec- tion districts but would be elected by county- wide vote, putting them in a position where they would consider the schools of the county as a whole rather than by districts. They also would receive no pay, except for a small per diem rate for meetings and travel, thus elimi- nating the politician who might seek the of- fice merely for the pay involved. Thile county school superintendent would be appointed by this board and would be respon- sible to the board. He would have to be a trained educator and administrator, and would be selected for his qualifications, not neces- sarily being a resident of the county. Such a superintendent could carry on his duties Im an efficient and economical manner, not being dependent upon the voters for his job. If our forests are to continue to produce the billions of cubic feet of wood needed yearly to meet our requirements, loss from forest fires must be reduced to a minimum. Help prevent forest fires and thus help to "Keep Florida Green." High tax bills might be reduced by eliminat- ing about half the counties in every state in the Union. But the politicians wouldn't allow that. With congress in session and the legislature an imminent menace, Floridians are becom- ing more and more law-minded. To freeze or not to freeze', that seems to be the question up north. And the answer is. tc "Spend a Summer This Winter In Florida." Keep smiling-and buy U S Savings Bonds. without losing benefits, says Bill Linton, Gulf county service officer. Monthly benefits are retroactive to the monthlyl of the death of a vet- eran if it occurred prior to August 10, 1946 and if the survivors file a claim before midnight of Febru- ary 10, 1947. Survivors of all World War II veterans who have died on or after ~i~~rl~_~~gsa ?7Tr've-er August 10, 1946 and within three years after being discharged from military service are also urg-ed to contact the nearest field office of the social security administration at once. Regardless of whether the veteran ever had a social security card or whether he ever worked, on a job covered by the. social security act, his. survivors ma-y be eligible for old-age and, survivors -insur- ance. COUNTY POLIO CASES (Continued From Page One) 1946, and *had it not been for the assistance given :by our local chap- ter it would have been hard for us to have kept her there for that pe- riod of time without any assist- ince, for as everyone knows, it is .in expensive treatment and re- luires much care and time to treat the patient. "We are very grateful for the re- sults obtained from the treatment and can assure you that she re- ceived the best treatment in tChe world. "I aml enclosing mly check as a contribution to the 1947 March of Dimes. and my best wishes for a most successful campaign." The Gulf county chapter of the national foundation receives hair the money contributed in the county and should the local chapter ex- haust its funds in emergency cases or for epidemic needs, national headquarters sends sums to meet the community's bills. | So everyone is urged to give generously to this most worthy of causes.

ADVOCATES HIGHER TARIFF ON CUBAN SUGAR IMPORTS Testifying before a subcommit- tee on reciprocity information in Washington, D. C., which is gather- ing data to be used by the state departmentt in new trade agree- ments between the United States and Cuba, John Tiedtke, chairman of the Florida Farm Bureau sugar committee, advocated a higher U. S. tariff on Cuban sugar "to as- sure the grower's future welfare." "Florida' has always paid high wages and was originally protected by a sugar tariff of $2 per hun- dred pounds," Tiedtke said, and added, "since 1934 the quota re- strictions of the sugar act kept the price up to where we were pro- tected, 'but during this time tariff on Cuban sugar has been reduced to 75 cents."
