Have You Made YOUR Contribution to the March of Dimes? TYE STAR OFFICIAL NEWSPAPER OF GULF COUNTY The Home Newspaper of Northwest Florida's Future Industrial Center VOLUME X PORT ST. JOE, FLORIDA, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 1947 NUMBER 20 St. Joe Air Field Is On Federal List For Improvement One of 112 In Florida Recom- mended for Improvement or Construction By CAA The Port St. Joe airport, nothing to brag about at present, was one or 112 on a list of Florida fields that the Civil Aeronautics Admin- istration recommended Saturday to: construction or improvement within the next three years. The 112 in Florida are among 4,431 airports in the entire country which the CAA said should be built or improved in that period. From this list will be selected the proj- ects to be included in the construc- tion program for the 1948 fiscal year, starting next July 1, depend- ing upon the amount of money atu- propriated by congress and the rel- ative urgency of each project. Projects on the list issued Sat- urday are estimated to cost $985,- 800,000, of which the federal gov- ernment's share would be $441,600,- 000 and, the local sponsors' share would be $544.200,000. And right there is probably where the S't. Joe airport g-ts knocked in the head, for the CAA will pay half of the engineering cost, half of the construction cost and 25 per cent of the land cost in establishing an airport, and right now Gulf county hasn't any large amounts of money to toss at the birds. Back in 1945 the local airport was included- on a list of field's recom- mended by the CAA for construc- Lion or improvement, and at that time the estimated cost for a Class 2 field for Port St. Joe wa- placed at $396.750. and, a similar class field for Wewahitchka at $156,350. Even oi a 50-50 basis that would come to $198,375 as Gulf county's share of the St. Joe field and $78.175 as the sponsor's, share of the Wewa project-andiusn's jist ain't got that kind. of money right now. REMODELING JOB AT SMITH'S PHARMACY John Robert Smith has had his drug store all torn up during' the past two week-endls due to the fact that he .has had his termite- chew'ed wooden floor replaced with a red-tinted concrete floor. For a time, with sand spread over the fresh concrete, the pharmacy re- sembled somewhat an old-time, sa- loon. In addition to the new floor, J. R. has also installed wome fancy chromium and leather booths for his soda fountain customers. The cellar-dwelling Merchants have finally broken the jinx that hias hung over them since the open- ing of the City Ba'sketball League louiney and have chalked up two wi ins. They're still in the cellar, liut those two wins have sure put new life into the boys. They seem to have put the In- liall sign on the McCoy aggrega- tion, for last week they downed the Grocerymen by the close score of 31 29, and' Wednesday night Look them again 34-33 in a fast tilt that went to an overtime play- off.

No one was home at the time. TWO GRASS FIRES CALL OUT FIRE DEPARTMENT SUNDAY The file department was called mlt-twice Sunday afternoon to ex- tinguisih grass fires, the first oc- curing in the vacant lots at the eari of the Dan Brooks home oil Vlonumnent Avenue, .and the second about a half hour later, near the warehouse at the St. Joe Paper Company.

Hutchison Deidin- Moore To Act As Chairman for St. ern..r Says Cities Can Not Look To Him for Share In Taxes We don't know how many read- 'rs of The Star listened iii on Gov- ernor Millard Caldwell's radio ad- idress Monday night in which he discussed at length finances of the state, but he said that the state can increase its expenditures by approximately $25,000,000 a: year without raising taxes, and went on to point out that wouldn't be any- where near enough to fill all re- quests of agencies, institutions and political subdivisions for funds. . And here all the time we were un- der the impression that Caldwe!, was going to cut operating ex- penses of the state to the bone if we voted for him for governor. He also came right out and said that the cities of the state, which are all suffering from malnutrition due to the homestead law, can ex- pect no support from him in their demands for shares of present state tax money unless they offer andi support substitute tax measures. Caldwell expressed sympathy for nearly all requests for more cash, but couldn't see where it was to come from, remarking. "I reiterate here what I have said before-I will have no part of rubber check appropriations for the schools, wel- fare and institutional care. An ap- propriaition without definite cash to hack it up is worse than worthless because it raises false hopes. Ap- propriations for more than we have on hand or in sight cannot be approved." Summing up. hlie said "it now ap- pears that allocations to the coun- ties should be limited to the pres- ently distributed $35,000,000 or 326,o000,00(1 plus any increase inii state school aid. Assistance to cities in the form of abandoned tax fields, should be compensated for with substitute levies. "The funds on hand and antici- pated must be made to cover ex- penditures for health, welfare, the colleges, institutional care, .tuber- culosis sanatoria, general opera- ilons and, in addition, expand edu- Continued on page 8) 1 ----------- County To Have New System For Registration Of Vital Statisticst The Florida State Board ot Health announces that a single- :ounty registration of vital statis- tics has been inaugurated inll 24 countiess including Gulf county. With this system each county leavingg a full-time health depart- ment will be consolidated into one' local registration district under )iie local registrar and a deputy. County health officers will be ap- pointed as the county local regis- trar, and sub-registrars for the col- lec:tion of birth and death record's ind issuance of burial-removal- transit permits in various sections of the counties will be appointed. All original records of birth and death will be cleared through the county health officer before trans- mittal to the bureau of vital sta- tistics in Jacksonville. This sys- tem will eliminate the old method of having scattered, local registrars, in various districts of the coun- ties who made their reports di- rectly to the central bureau.

JOE, GULF COUNTY, F.LORIDA PAGE TWO FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 19477 ON FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 1947 THE STAR, PORT ST. JOE, GULF COUNTY, FLORIDA PAGE THREE .Many Species of Wild Life Are Rapidly Disappearing Earned with guns and traps, the United States huntsman has just about exterminated some 50 spe- ci'.s of North American wild ani- m1als. Dr. H. .Jackson o'f the United tateis Fi;h and Wild Life Service u -rveyed the wild uIrimal situation anid fund thl wood Ifull il of hunters lbut low on ,l!'.me. He_ attribute; l.the game scarcity to spreading civiliza- tion anl population. Dr. Jackson said the grizzly bear and tCie big wolf may soon be found only in zoos and bedtime stories. The Florida black bear, the Alas- kan glacier bear and the timber wolf of the northeastern states also are headed for extinction, he re- ported. Among those animals which al- ready have reached t-he vanishing point are the big buffalo of the northeast, last seen in 1801; the Maine giant mink which vanishe( in 1860; the Arizona merriam elK, last seen in 1900; the :big plains wolf, which disappeared in 1930. The fishe, the martin, the wol- verine. several types of seals and the little kit fox of the western plains have gone the way of all furs-to ladies' shoulders. B ut Jackson is more concerned over the future of these animals which "have been reduced to a danger point everywhere in North Amer- ica." All that can be found of tVhe southern sea otter is a small herad of about 300 that suddenly turned up on the California coast. The future of the reindeer looks *even worse. "The last woodland caribou in Maine was seen in 1908," Jackson said. "There are now 15 in north- ern Minnesota. only two of which are natives." The eastern moose, he added, is also on tVie way out. Dugongs and manatees still live along the Atlantic coast from Flor- ida to Brazil, but many are wan- tonly shot, Jackson said. The wildlife service is also wor- ried about a shortage of birds- roseate spoonbill, the prairie chic- ke.n and the masked bo'bwhte. "The largest and most magnifi- cent woodpecker in the United States. t h e ivory billed wood- pecker," Jackson lamented. "now is reduced to a few individuals in a heavily forested Louisiana tract." Moat Protected Against Direct Hits The moat around Castillo San Marcos at St. Augustine, the oldest fortification in the United States, never h.ad more than a foot or two of water in it. It was dug mainly for the purpose of letting engineers build the fort lower into the earth and to minimize the danger of di- rect hits upon its -walls. Later forts used entirely dry moats. 4"----- T----------- 'Heck' Jones Back Fnom Hospital "Heck" Jones returned last Fri- day from Finney General Hospital, Thomasville.

OGL ONY LRD AEFV Universal Training Is Still National Defense Keystone Should Be Adopted Now To Supplant Selective Service, Says American Legion; Other Proposals To Strengthen United States Security Are Offered The immediate enactment of universal military training to supplant selective service, which ends on March 31, was urged by the American Legion national defense committee as part of a comprehensive security program drafted during a four- A t ,- f ... ,,nce in 1VaslhI1voto D. C.. ending on January 26. Another product of the confer- ence was the reco'mmend'lationr that congress terminate the emergency war pe. iod. Legion officials frankly explained these proposals were aimed at fo- cusing action on universal military train gii'. Dissolution of the draft, a war-time measure only, would clear the air for undivided treat- ment of peace-time universal mnili- taiy training, they said. These recommendations featured a committee report prepared ol-1 lowing discussions with the na- tion's foremost military and secur- ity authorities. The committee's report, submit- ted to Legion National Commander Paul H. G:iffith, was sharply criti- cal of general antipathy toward the nation's defense requirements and made a score of proposals for revitalizing tihe country's over- all security program. Orne of these was a request for legislation which would impose se- vere pnis!hmenrt upon any person revealing any secrets affecting na- tion',.l security, even though such rel].'ion was made without the intention of disturbing the nation's security. Opposition to any slish iln wiar anl1 navy department appropria- tions was reflected in : re-solution calling upon congress for 'approval of budgets submitted by the reiu- a-"' miitn'y er iallishmeints. Commander Griffith said that one of tthe problems subjected to the most minute examination dur- ian defense. "The complacent attitude of an uninformed p public," h e warned, "is inviting disaster. Civilian de- fense and protection must be de- veloped now to an infinitely higher degree than it was during the war. It will be the industrial centers of this nation which will be the first target of scientific, lgihtning at- tacks. An incredible amount o0 death and destruction would be le't in the wake of such attacks on civilian areas." $30 CASH $300 FOR TAXES AND OTHER EXPENSES On Your Own Signature and Security CENTURY LOAN COMPANY Leo Kennedy, Manager PHONE 61 Port St. Joe, Florida State Has'181 Newspapers Shoots Self While Cleaning Gun A total of 181 newspapers are Robert Lee of Highland View ac- published in F'lorida.

Our Country '- Right or Wrong 'KEEP GREEN' BUILDS PAYROLLS There's a dollar and cents reason why every resident of Gulf county and Florida should be interested in the success of the movement to "Keep Florida Green." This statement goes, double,for the landholders of the state who, collectively, own almost all of Florida's 23,- 000,000 acres of woodlands., The South, Florida included, has harvested nearly all of its original virgin timber. Now we are approaching the day when the same thing can be said of the nation as a whole. In other words, we must grow the timber we need, for all purposes. In 1944 Florida's total final value of the manufactured products from the timber indus- try amounted to $102,000,000, which brought the woodland owners $12,000,000 for stump- tge. This amounts to one-eighth of the total return of the forest, while the other seven- eighths, or $90,000,000, went to pay wages. equipment maintenance, handling, hauling. processing and taxes-$42,000,000, or almhnost half of the $90,000,000, went for wages. We must keep this industry growing rather than killing it off ourselves. That means we must employ proper forest management. Yet no plan of management of forests can succeed in the face of forest fires. We must stop bel- ing careless with forest fires in our wooded areas. By keeping uncontrolled fires out of our woodlands we can "Keep Florida Green." Then 'we are helping to produce raw materials for -the industries which provide so many jobs. The capacity of this country to grow all the wood it needs has been amply demonstrated. Florida can easily become a leading state in wood production and wood utilization, but only if we remove this obstacle of forest fires. Eighteen states have inaugurated "Keepl) Green" programs with outstanding success. Florida has now inaugurated the program and will make it a success. One of the fine steps in aiding to make the program a success inl CGulf county was the planting of acreage to pine seedlings by the Port St. Joe Boy Scout troop, which will aid in teaching- the coming generation the principles of reforestation and the whys and wherefores of forest manage- ment. WVe hope the idea will be taken up by other Boy Scout troops throughout Florida and the entire South. Senator Claude Pepper sends us a weekly letter, which, by the way, goes out under his franking privilege as a member of the senate, thus saving him postage, and while it always ends up in the wastebasket, we do look it over before tossing it aside. I lere lately we sort of read between the lines and it is obvious that Claude is doing his darndest to keep the Republicans from peering too closely at war- time deals in whIich he was mixed up in with war profiteers, such as the St. Johns Shipyard, Eglin Field (remember that paving job?). the Atlantic Coast 'Line and others.

VIGILANCE STILL PRICE OF LIBERTY SFeb'uaryv is the month in which fall the birthdays of (George \Vashington and Abrahall iLincoln,l .\ ericals losee fame is not only national, but world-wide. In his day, W\ashington found it inecessar y tI lead the nation .to independence, and 10und it ai tvi>llc to warn the people againllst certain f,orign1 i ll lcu ccs and the infiltration of cer- tail foreign idegnl gies--includting the sugges- ti(n that then 'nitcd States become a monarchy with liimnself as its first king. ljnclu. ll11 the other hand, found it neccs- ;uI-v ti lead the federal government in a time M greata t (diiinctic strife alld internal war eare, aitd lto pintt the way by which the wounds ofr a.:it greitt war could lcst lbe treated and 'calid. It \\as a great miisfortune to both the .rt,1th and tthe South that lie was assassinatedI and the whole nation thus deprived of his kindlv and humane leadership at a time when it was most needed. It is pertinent, in this modern time when an- other type of foreign ideology is attempting, by infiltration, to rob this nation of those very things which have made and kept it great, that a warning by Washington be again called to the attention of all .\Americans. WVe quote: "Against the insidious wiles of foreign influ- ence, the jealousy of a free people ought to be constantly awake, since history and experi- ence prove that foreign influence is one of the most baneful foes of republican government." Our \Washington observer calls attention to some of the infiltration into government of communists which Ihas been discovered. 11e declares that communism is becoming increas- fngly less popular, and the effort to purge government payrolls of communists is hecom- in-g increasingly more effective. These efforts should not cease until -every "commy" and "fellow-traveler' in a government job is re- moved from it--and steps taken to see that no new ones are added. There should be no per- mitted "boring from within" the government itself. -National Legionnaire. LIFE IN THE SLAVE STATE The trouble now brewing in England with its attempt at a mild socialistic-type govern- ment takiilg over many basic industries should cause us all to ponder at momllient over this paragraph from iW. 1'. '\ hitle's recently pub- lished "Report on the l'oils": "In the slave state a man is told where and h(,w to live and work, when and fori whom to vote,. when to cheer and when to boo, and when to scream hludly that his land is the freest and most democratic on all the globe." The "slave states" did not disappear with the defeat of Germany, Italy and Japan. They survive throughout the world, and some of them are powerful nations. They talk of "se- c'uritvy"-which simply means a license to push people around. They prate of their own brand of "democracy"--which in all essentials is no different from nazism. They shout for the rights of workers--and they treat the worker as a tool. to be used and .discarded as the whims and exigencies of the moment mnay de- termine. Super-states inevitably become slave states. All-powerful government inevitably turns into oppressive government. If the American peo- ile have learned nothing else, modern history should hive taught them that grim fact. The threat to liberty from within is greater, more ominous, than the threat from without. The greatest truth of this age is that those whoi temporize with freedom by sanctioning cen- tralized, socialistic government, lose freedom. And if you don't believe us, just keep your eve on events in England. The government might get over a policy if they would advertise it like cigarets and tooth- paste are advertised. What jumps out of reach quicker than a promising future? Keep smiling-and buy U S Savings Bonds. lllllIIItlllllllllll llllll; IIIIIIII l ll ll ll l ll llllll lll llllll lll LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Editor of The Star: The death of Ted.

"No expenditure should be con- sidered unless t'he money is surely in sight or the proposal is tied to ai plan to raise tle revenue uand pay the bill." IH said that "we will not have .111 accurate picture before us for another two or three weeks, but in the light of present information I think it is likely that we can in- crease our disbursements by some twenty or twenty-five million dol- lars per year without, more taxes." Referring to county requests, the governor said. "I regret that' it does not appear feasible at this time to turn into road work the proceeds of the seventh cent gaso- line tax now being used for schools and general purposes. As a mattel of governmental policy, I am colln- vinced that gasoline taxes should go into highways, and I had hoped that we might, during my adminis- tration, adopt that course. "I had hoped also that we might abandon to the cities certain state revenue sources but, for the same reason. I do not see how these sources can be abandoned unless the substantial loss in state reve- nue is 'replaced by some substitute levy." (Don't think, dear readers, that Ye Ed sat in front of the radio and jotted down the governor's re- marks. Far from it! He was kind enough to send us a mimeographed copy of his speech before lie made it. If anyone wants to read it in full. jilct drop in at The Star offtic- and draw up a chair.)
