Roy Martin, Circuit Head,

All success stories seem to have
one thing in common-hard worK,
self-denial, and disappointments.
The story of Roy E. Martin of
Martin Theaters, now marking his
35th anniversary in exhibition, is
no exception. He was born on a
farm in Harris county, Georgia, and
as a boy v-orked in the fields. The
educational opportunities, available
to himn were very meager, being
limited to the rural school of his
day. His father died while Martin


operates 102 theaters in Georgia,
Alabama, Tennessee and Florida.
and is regarded as one of the lead-
ing I. S. exhibitors.

AIRPORT NEWS
Improvements are going on at a
slow but steady pace. The adminds-

interior is being finished. The shop

one hangar almost completed. The

cleaned up and will be beautified
this spring.
Interest in model building is

THE STAR, PORT ST, JOE, GULF COUNTY, FLORIDA


* Have you a collection of recipes for meatless meals? It's a big
help .. not only during Lent, but any time you want to cut
your food bills. So today I'm going to tell you about some dishes
that are real "collector's items." They're delicious, nutritious
and economical ... especially when you buy the ingredients
at your A&P, where fine foods are thriftily priced.


SUPREMELY SATISFYING SOUP
To satisfy hearty appetites, I al-
ways serve a hearty soup if my
main course is light. Puree Mon-
gole is my family's favorite and
oh so easy to make.
S\ Like so: Simmer
S / 1 chopped onion
Sand contents of 2
18-oz. cans of
IONA TOMATO
JUICE and a can
of baked beans 20 minutes; rub
through coarse sieve. Season and
reheat. Serves 6, and you'll, want
"seconds" when you taste the zesty
flavor of this soup. The secret?
IONA TOMATO JUICE a
grand brand that's modestly priced
at the A&P.
BAKED BEANS' BOON COMPANION
No matter how you serve baked
beans, don't separate them from
their boon companion--brown
bread! And to enjoy it at its best,
get MARVEL BOSTON BROWN
BREAD. Made by A&P's expert
bakers, this rich, raisin-studded
bread is rushed from the oven to
your A&P, so it's always tempt-
ingly fresh. Try it!


FOR CONTENT DURING LENT
Here's how to give new taste ap-
peal to that old standby, mncai'.':
Cook an 8 oz. package of LNX.ORE
MACARONI according to packa'g(,f
directions; drain. Add 2 tb:'s.
chopped onion and 2 tbsps. chop',,-l
green pepper (lightly browned in'
butter), salt, pepper and B' lb. of
grated cheese. Toss together. '
feet! So is any dish made within
ENCORE MACARONI, because iti
cooks up tender yet firm-never'
mushy. Get a few packages next
time you're shopping at your A&P!
TO KEEP YOUR COOKIE JAR AJAR
Peanut butter brownies will insure
the popularity of your cookie jar
. and furnish some of the pro-
tein that meatless meals may lack.
Make them ac- ,x /!
cording to your
favorite recipe for
chocolate brown-
ies, using SUL- W
TANA PEANUT
BUTTER for half
the shortening. You'll love this
creamy-smooth peanut butter
from the A&P in sandwiches, too.

The new closed season was
brought about due to the extremely
warm weather in the southern part
of the state where the spawning
season was found to be practically
over for black bass by April first.
Conclusively the commission con-
sidered it practical to eliminate
the month of April as a closed

Our Country -^ Right or Wrong

PRIMARIES:, IT CAN HAPPEN HERE
The Georgia legislature has made its choice
and Herman Talmadge has signed a bill which
installs the private primary system in our
neighboring state.
The choice which was made is an essentially
simple one. The senate had wanted a provision
requiring the superior courts to prosecute
fraud in the primary elections as well a; in
the general elections. The general assembly
didn't want this provision, because it held that
such a connection with the state government
would negate the effort to make political par-
ties into private associations. The choice, in
other words, was between an election system
unprotected against fraud, and one which
wouldn't stand up against rulings of the U. S.
supreme court. The senate finally receded
from its position; the primaries are unpro-
tected.
This doesn't mean that the resulting system
will stand up in federal court tests. We don't
know whether it will or not. But we do know
that the people of Florida, if fully acquainted
with all the facts, will reject any move which
withdraws the power and protection of the
state from the popular primaries which are
so vital a part of their electoral system.
We don't say it can't happen here. But it
mustn't. -Pensacola Journal.

DESIRE FOR HOME NEEDS ATTENTION
Economists who are diligently striving to
maintain or raise the standard of living of
Americans should give attention to the fact
that most people desire a practical, livable
home.
"Sell us a home" is the crying and urgent
need of Americans everywhere. Home-con-
sciousness is one thing that affects our future
for peaceful and quiet living. Owning a home
provides a chance for realization and gives
time for expression.
People do not seem to be able to find the
home they want and builders are bewildered
at apparent shortages. There seems to be little
immediate hope for purchasing permanent
shelter.
1\Ian has builded his home out of almost
every conceivable thing from palm thatched
huts to marble. Of the materials available the
average man builds out of the cheaper and
more durable alternate.
The future offers improvements in plastic-.
The use of glass, steel and aluminum probably
will be on the increase. Prefabricators are be-
ginning to 'perfect plans for large-scale pro-
duction. Contractors are building homes for
public inspection to bid for this vast market.
Modern conveniences and luxuries may also
become commonplace necessities. Fluorescent-
lighted homes bid fair to offer the desired
quality of light considerably cheaper. Perhaps
more rays will be used to clean and purify
the air. All these and more too will be of-
fered for approval. Such practical improve-
ments which lead the way to a model home
for each income group need encouragement.
Prospective purchasers of homes are paus-
ing, in the first place, to consider whether It
would be better to buy now or enter the mar-
ket later. Secondly, the average prospective
home buyer is waiting for an opportunity to
buy just what he wants and will fit his income.
The hope is that the time is not in the too
remote future when these actualities will be
more than architects' plans.

A 43 per cent increase in infec-
tious syphilis in Florida last yeam
is reported by the State Board
.of Health. The increase is doubly
shocking because it reverses a
downward trend established during
the war. Also, because it comes
-after the development of penicillin
for unprecedented rapid treat-
ment of VD. Prevention is the
watchword, but compared with the
streamlined advances made in
,diagnosis and treatment, preven-
-tion is still in the horse and buggJ
stage. However, authorities say
that "conduct and not medication
lies at the core of the VD prob-
lem." Gonorrhea is treated by
local health departments while
syphilis is treated only at the
rapid treatment center s h i p
at Jacksonville. A large majority
of the expense of finding- and treat-
ing nearly 10,000 cases of syphilis
in Florida yearly is borne by the
federal governmatant.

Timber Lack Discussed
At Forestry Meeting

Depletion of the country's tim-
ber has gone so far that a long
period of shortage cannot be es-
caped,. the Southern Forestry Con-
fe-rence was told, at a meeting in
Atlanta, Ga.., last week.
M. L. Fleishel of Shamrock. Fla.,
forestry conservation leader, told
the conference the shortage would
continue for many years and that
the small timberland owner holds
the key to solution of the problem.
Owners of small tracts hold
three fourths of the land. from
which forest products are har-
Tested. Fleishel declared, and they
niust be shown that proper fores-
try management is profitable.
Fleishel, general manager of Per-
petual Forests Inc.. declared in-
dustry is promoting a tree farm
movement by the Southern Pine
Association. All southern states
except Georgia and Louisiana have
organized, tree farm programs. The
tree farms maintain a specific
area for growing merchantable for-
ests, protect trees from fiire and
practice conservation cuttinig.r

Science Comes to
Aid of Asters



"A
.






*




Double Asters are again easy
to grow.
Asters are rapidly regaining theii
popularity with home gardeners.
Once they were among the leaders,
as garden and exhibition flowers, a
place which they well deserved be-
cause of their size, beauty of form
and variety of vivid colors.
First a wilt, then a disease known
as aster yellows, began to spread
among them, the disease being
spread by leaf hoppers, insects
which were difficult to control.
Both these handicaps have now
been largely overcome. Against the
leaf hoppers, D.D.T. dust does an
amazingly efficient job; so that by'
dusting the young aster plants reg-
ularly until they begin to bloom, the
insects and the infection they carry
can be kept away.
Asters grow so slowly, they usual-
ly are given the benefit of an early
start in a seed box, in order to gel
earlier flowers. But florists hav4
found that stronger plants are
grown if the seed are sown directly
in the garden, and excess plants
thinned out, so growth is not checked
by transplanting. Flowers. of course
come later than with plants started
under protection, but not as much
later as might be supposed.
If you start your own aster seed,
in the house, or in a hot-bed or
greenhouse, special precautions
against fungus diseases should be
taken. It will pay to disinfect the
seed, using one of the new chem-
icals for that purpose which are
easily obtained and applied. If in-
stead of soil the seed box is filled
with vermiculite, a sterile substi,
'tute for soil,, healthy plants may
be depended upon. Vermiculite.is a
form of mica widely used for build-.
ing insulation. It is much lighter.
than soil, and easy to handle.

Fathers Starred In P.-T. A.
Community Program
One of the most interesting comn-
munity programs presented here
in a long time was that Thursday
night o'. lait 't week presented by the
Parent-Teachers Association at the
higi school, being a "Fathers Day"
and Founders' Day program com-
bined.
The program was opened, with
the devotional by Rev. Tom Byrne,
who also led in the singing of "On-
ward Christian Soldiers." Superin-
tende:.t Tom Owens then took over
and acted as master of ceteminiie4,
introd'. nig the various nu1 llb)1's.
The hi'.-a school giae clu', under
the direction ot Miss Erline Mc-
Clellan. really turned on the har-
mony in presenting "Bury Me Not
O ; the Lone Prairie," "Anania" and
"Vesper Bells," this last rendition
being really superb.
Mrs. Edwin Ranisey presented
t-,'a %violin solos, "By tihe Waters of
Minnetonka" and "Indian Love
Call," accompanied by Mrs. Ralph
Swatts, and Miss Marjorie Phi'lyaw
gave "Narcissus" as a piano .solo.
.A song contest between the Ki-
wanis and Rotary Clubs resulted inll
the Rotes carrying off top honors
due to a lack of Kiwanians pres-
ent to harmonize. The Rotariana.
under the direction of S. L. Barke,
really made the rafters ring with
"S eveet Adoline" and "Down By the
Old Mill Stream."
Two number's by the high school
band. "Tea for Two" and "Ameri-
can Patrol," brought heavy ap-
plause from the audience and, in
the opinion of Ye Ed, was the best
we. have ever heard the band play.
Thile whistling contest between
the men and women Iell rather
flat. even though the men concealed
the ladies top honors. The group
singing of a number of old-tinme
sngs under the leadership of Hlarry
McKnight was a real feature andi
enjoyed by all
Prof. W. A. Biggart failed to put
cn his number for the faculty, and
his timl on tile program was taken
by Ann George singing "Mighti
L:k' a Rose," accompanied at the
piano by Erline McClellan.
Another scheduled number, two
songs by members of tihe first
graduating class of Port St. Joe
high school, also failed to ma-
terialize. This number was to have
been presented, we understand, by
Nobie Stone, Mrs. C. A. Brown and
Mrs. Ral-ph Swatts.
Honor was given T. H. Stone at
tils time when he was presented
with a certificate and pin in recog-
nition of 20 years' service on the
local school board.
The meeting was closed with a
brief talk by Mls. Ralph Swatts,
P.-T. A. president, who stated that
onil this occasion, the 50th anniver-
sary of the founding of P -T. A. and
the 26tV anniversary of 2.-T. A. in
Florida, that the Port St. Joe Par-
ent-Teacher Assosciation was also
observing its '26th anniversary. be-
ing among the first units organized
in Florida.
