(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.

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.

Oft treatment!


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.

Letter From Grateful Mother Con-
tradicts Rumor That Victims
Receive No Assistance

With the March of Dimes under-
way to raise funds to carry on th0
war against poliomyelitis, a nunm-
ber of persons have stated they
were making nco contribution to the
drive, because none of the funds
were ever used locally and that
GCilf county victims of the dread
disease have never received as.
distance of any sort from the Gulf
county chapter.
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.

Editor The Star:
We read in The Star that Mrs.
Ary Chason called in to report the
most successful hunting trip her
husband, has had in his 46 years of
hunting.
Well, just ofi the sly, this is 1st
Sgt. Handy, D Troop, 91st Con-
stabulary Squadron, "calling in"
from Germany to report on the
hunting ability of another Port St.
Joe boy, T/Sgt. Monroe C. Duncan,
now with the Occupatiol, Army in
Germany.
For the benefit of the people in
Port St. Jos who are not acquainted
with Duncan, he is the mess ser-
geant of "D" Troop. and he likes
to see his men well fed. So when
the shipping strike was on .a few
weeks ago. Mess Sgt. Duncanl says
to- himself, "None of my boys are
going to go hungry for meat," and
taking his trusty M-1 rifle and hts
dog. "Old L)dy," he started out
one afternoon. Well. we. are not
bragging, and Sgt. Duncan being a
modest sort of chap, is a little
timid about throwing out his chest,
bAt he brought in the biggest buck
yet to be killed, in this area-a 14-
point buck weighing 380 pounils-
and brought him down with one
shot.
And just-to let you folks back in
-Port St. Joe in on a little secret
(which everyone in the Constabu-
,lary knows) Sgt. Duncan has the
inest mess in the whole Constabu-
lary. And none of the boys had to
do without .meat during the ship-
ping strike. But if I don't
"ring off" now, Sgt. Dpncan wil!
.urely make me go to the' end of
the mess line. Goodby.
Sgt. Ted L. Handy.

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

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 board for 1947, the retaining o!
E. Clay Lewis, Jr., of this city as
attorney for the board and as

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:

Where Your Health

Dollar Goes


Because of the four major rac-
tors contributing to poor dental
health in Florida: 1, lack of den-
tal health education; 2, inade-
quate dental facilities; 3, lack of
ability to pay for dental services
by a large number of persons;
4, inadequate provision of dental
services for dental indigents the
State Board of Health has a
fully equipped dental trailer
touring the State, expects to put
the second into service within a
few weeks and hopes to have
four moving on the road by the
end of this year. Five county
health depart-ients, Dade, Hills-
borough. Pinellas, Bay and Al-
achua have dental facilities;
some not functioning because of
lack of personnel. Program is

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

.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

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-

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

"I aml enclosing mly check as a
contribution to the 1947 March of

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."
