Let's Put the Gulf County Red Cross Chapter "Over the Top" THE STAR OFFICIAL 5 NEWSPAPER J OF J GULF COUNTY I The Home News of Northuwest Finror'd F'sFuture Industrial Center VOLUME X PORT ST. JOE, FLORIDA, FRIDAY, APRIL 4, 1947 NUMBER 27 St. James Church Gulf Farm Census Observing Holy Figures Released erry 1 I ',l . Week and Easter 'Bishop Juhan To Dedicate Parish House Sunday Afternoon; Pub-- lic Invited To All Services Rev. Tom Byine announces that St. James Episcopal Church will be-gin its observance of the Holy 'Week and Easter week-end with a three-hour service to begin at 12 noon today. The theme of the ad- dresses at this service.-will be "The Way of the Cross,," dealing with the incidents that occurred to Jesus from the time he was con- demned to death until the time he was laid away in the tomb. A pro- gram of the service will be dis- tributed' at the door of the church by which the service can be eaoitiy followed. The offering at this serv- ice will go to the work of the Epis- copal church in Jerusalem. People are free to come and go during the services, 'but it is the custom of many to remain throughout the three hours. On Holy Saturday,- at 4 p. m:. there *will be baptism of several children. .-This Saturday baptism is an ancient custom of the Christian church, ,going back to- the' days when those who had' been baptized after going through many days of training, made their first com- muniops on>,Easter Day. On Easter Day there will be a celebfRLir ofr the holy communion at 7:30 a. i., the Sunday school service at 9:30 a. min., and celebra- tion of the holy communion and sermon at 11 a. m. At 5:45 in the afternoon the Rt. Rev. Frank A. Jluhan, 'bishop of Florida, will confirm a large class of candidates and will make a brier address. Immediate-ly after the con- firmatiof', the bishop will dedicate the parish house, following whicar the congregation will entertain at a reception for all he congrega- tion, the newly confirmed persons, a reception for all the congrega- who have contributed to the parish house, and. for the community of U. S. Department of Commerce Compares 1940 and 1945 Tabulations ,Through the courtesy of C. R, Laird, county agent, we are in re- ceipt of advai'ce figures on the ag-_ ricultural survey of Gulf county for 1945 as prepared by the U. S. De- partment of Commerce. The census shows that Gulf county, with a land area of 356,480 acres, in 1940 had 85 farms or 1.1% ofE the total acreage. and in 1945 there were 314 farms for a 9.9 per- centage. The. land in farms in 1940 came to 3,941 acres,' while in 1945 the figure had' jumped, to 35,328 acres with an average size of 112.5 acres, compared to the average of 46.4 acres for 1940. Value of ,farms in the county (in- cluding land and buildings) came to $556,415 in 1945 for an average per farm value of $1,772, or $15.75 per acre, as compared with a total value of $112,679 in 1940 with an average per farm value of $1,326 and a per acre value, of $28.59. The value of implements in 1940 was placed, at $8,559 and in 1945 at $25,- 266. We find that the farm popula- tion, of 1945 is living a better life than in 1940, for in the latter year but 19 farms had electricity as compared: with 176 in 1946, and but 26 automobiles were in use on the farms in 1910 as coniaf6d with 141 in 1945. There were 17 trucks in (Continued on Page 2) Alton Dendy Will Head Jaycees for Coming Year At the annual election of offi' cers of the Port St. Joe Junior Chamber of Commerce, held Tues- day night, Alton Dendy was named as president for the ensuing year, succeeding George Tapper.

St. Joe Motor Company Goes Completely Moden With completion of a new 50 ,by 90-foot concrete block addition in the rear to house the repair shop, Otto And'erson is really running wild in remodeling the interior of the original St. Joe Motor Company building at the corner of Monu- ment Avenue and Fourth Street. The new setup' provides about ten times the previous space in the stock room. ives Otto a private office, and allows a large expanse of floor for the. display of new cars whenn he gets 'em). With completion of the remoder- ing work we do not hesitate to say that the St. Joe. Motor Company will have an establishment equal to any in Northwest Florida and one which would do credit to a city much larger than Port S-t. Joe.

PROCLAMATION Whereas, The people of the City of Port St. Joe have, always shown a progressive spirit in responding to public appeals when such causes are just and worthy, and because the month o'f April has been de- clared "Cancer Control Month" by proclamation of the president of the Unitedi States and by the gov- ernor of Florida; and, Whereas, On the average, one of every two. homes in this city will be stricken by cancer unless the death rate of this di'ead disease is soon lessened. I, Horace Soille, mayor of the City' 6f Port St. Joe, do hereby proclaim- April as CANCER CONTROL MONTH and request that tthe citizens of this city do observe it as such. I further request that all indi- viduals, institutions, businesses and organizations within this city co- operate and assist the American Cancer Society in its campaign during April.

Now it will be the privilege of the people/ of Port St. Joe to get some additional in- formation about the Russian situa- tion, from even different stand- points during the week of April 7 to 11. The annual school' of missions will be held at the First Baptist Church on the above-mentionedl dates, at which time H. J.

The church bus 'will pick up. the children at the schoolhouse. immediately fol- lowing the afternoon classes. The evening meetings will con- sist of classes for young people and' adults from 7:15 to 8. At 8:00 o'clock the missionary will speak again. The public is. cordially invited to attend these, meetings, and it is probable that the piting mission- ary will be available to speak in the schools and to other groups, in case applications are fled early.

St. Joe Students Take Honors At Music Festival School Band Makes First Divisiotn And Glee Club Ranks In Mixed Chorus Event By STANFORD BECKHAM Port St. Joe was well repre- sented last week-end, at the sixth district Florida Band, Association music festival held at Marianna. The' high school glee club, di- rected by Miss Erline McClellan; made a first division rating in the mixed chorus event, along with honor ratings in several extra events, such as solos and duets. All of which makes the glee club eligible to attend the state festival to 'be held in Tampa this month. Wouldn't it be nice to have Port, St. Joe represented, but there's the old obstacle--expenses'. Our band exceeded all expecta- tions in grabbing off first division in marching and sight reading. The score for the concert was the same as last year, second division., which is an honor rating but a step below qualifying for 'the state meet in Miami, according to the ruling set up by the Florida Bandmaster's Association. Our drum .major, Tommy Owens, drew a good many favorable com- ments on his super-colossal high stepping and ability in maneuver- ing the band about. Will Ramsey. our eftficent: per- cussionist drummerr to 'ydu )-matfe a first division in student conduct- ing. In fact, the band did' a fine job and: all enjoyed the festivities. We. are all very proud o'f these two fine and worthy organizations in our school, especially the glee club. No finer organization of its kind exists for the size town and' school they represent. According to the .experts '(,the- judges) our band needs the folloy- ing to be at its best: Two more- French horns, a 'bass clarinet, or bassoon, another flute, and more and better clarinets. ---4(--- Rev. Hallford Resigns As Pastor of Baptist Church From a clear sky last Sunday, Rev. R. F.

YELP FOR HELP Seems that a lot of men have volunteered to throw together the building brought here from Camp Gordon Johnston in sections to be erected on the Rotary Club's lot at 13th and Woodiward' for a city recreation center, but the other day when a building bee was sched- uled, only Joe Mira and Otto An- dlerson showed up. The building is vitally needed, and those who vol- unteered' to erect it are urged .to turn out. .

Our Country Right or Wrong MAY BE TOUGH TIMES AHEAD A soft-spoken business man in a plain sky- scraper in New York thinks there may be a way to foretell the future. He is Edward R. Dewey, former chief economic analyst in the department of commerce and director of the Foundation for the Study of Cycles. He says that just as scientists now can -pre- dict accurately the rise and' fall of the tides and eclipses of the sun, it should be possible to forecast economic conditions if, as his evi- dence indicates, they also fall into definite cycles. A book he has written summarizes- studies in cycles, which have been going on almost 100 years. It cites a cycle in wholesale prices which is said to run about 54 years from peak to peak; a "nine-year rhythm" which shows up in commodity and stock market prices; one of roughly 41 nionths in:industrial production, and another of around 18% years in real estate, building and industrial activity. Dewey says neither wars, New Deal meas- ures nor even the "planned economies" of dic- tator states has stopped the basic rhythms, al- though he admits war dislocations can make peaks or valleys much more severe than they have been or even come at the wrong time, If the rhythms continue, he suggests tough times may be -immediately ahead for Ameri- cans. "Findings of which we may be reason- ably sure," he writes, "are that declines can be expected in business activity, wholesale prices, iron, steel and stock market prices, " building and real estate." All the cycles are due to reach bottom in the early 1950's. While studies in the book do not go back "far enough to permit unqualified assurance that the observed rhythms are beyond the re- sult of chance," the "expectancies" do not in- dicate a lengthy post-war boom. Instead, "the number of important rhythms that come to a low together around 1952 suggest the possi- bility of a growing post-war crisis." If cycles can be projected into the future to tell correctly the- kind of business weather that'secbming, it would seem that economics can be raised to the level of a science. Since the causes of these cycles are un- known, it would seem to be good make plans in good times to ease hardships follow dips of the cycles. policy to whatever CANCER IS DEADLIER THAN WAR In the war years when our boys faced the scream and terror of Stukas, fought monster tiger tanks, prodded the Jap from a thousand pillboxes more than twice as many people were killed at home-by cancer. We're not telling this to frighten you. We're telling you this to enlist your aid to fight cancer. A disease that strikes, on the av- erage, one out of every two American fam- ilies. One way to fight it is to see a 'doctor the minute a member of your family develops one of cancer's danger signals. But a bigger and surer way to fight it is to join the American Cancer Society's drive for funds during this month. Join with your nickels. Your dimes. Your dollars. Join to help the scientists conquer cancer. Every dollar you give helps to support this research program provides better facilities for .diagnosis and treatment brings closer the day when they'll find a cure. Everybody in Gulf county-is urged to pitch in and get behind Basil Kenney, county chair- man for the drive. We couldn't give to a bet-' ter cause-the cause of hope instead of despair. WHO STARTED THAT FIRE? A report of the utmost importance to the South is that which the forest service will make on the results of the fifth annual co- operative forest fire prevention campaign which is now under way in eleven states of the South. The report will be more than usually im- portant to Florida, for this state long has been one of the big losers from forest fires, despite efforts of the forest service to educate both the owners and the public at large on the wis- dom of conservation. Extent of the devastation caused by woods fires this spring will be the measure, there- fore, of the effectiveness of the program or education. It will serve as the yardstick by which the fire-consciotisness of the people has increased. The report will show the extent to which the public is cognizant of the inroa(s being made on the forests of Florida and the South, and the effects of those inroads on the economics of this section. The people of Gulf county and Port St. J.'e particularly should be extra careful this year and join wholeheartedly in the campaign to prevent forest fires, for-the largest source of income in our county comes from the St. Joe Paper Company mill, "and another income source is the St. Joe Lumber & Export Com- pany, both of which concerns depend upon forest products for their operation. To get some idea of tlhe troubles the Balkan nations have with each. other, imagine what would happen if Florida and California had common borders.

"Howling Mad' Smith of La Jolla, Calif., veteran of 43 years in the, marine corps, 'be- lieves that war veterans of World War II would be well advised to dust off their uniforms instead of putting them in moth balls. I; an interview at his La Jolla home the outspoken general, who re-tired from active service re- cently, warned that the "United States is sitting on the edge of a volcano, and I would advise veter- ans to dust off their uniforms." "We believed a little more than a y'.ar ago, after the Allies had put down the aggressors and had started their joint purposes to make aggressive war a crime, that we would quickly agree on a peace," Smith said. "Now our hopes in the United Nations are almost swe-pt away. The Allies ap- pear now to fear Russia just as it once feared Hitler." He said our country has com- mitted an error ,by-.attributing our own unselfishness and altruism to other nations. "Europe from Finland to the Ad- riatic is an armid camp," Smith said'. "Indo-China and, Paraguay are in revolt. The United States is s:- ting on the edge of a volcano." The veteran marine officer placed great confidence in the ability of Secretary of State George Mar- shall. "If he fails, it means war,"' he warned. "It means that Russia will oppose us at the Dardanelles, move into Greece and Turkey, and eventually Iraq and Iran, taking the oil fields and' shutting off the Brit- ish Empire from the Suez." The United States is following the same :pattern of unprepared- ness that we took after other wars, Smith cautioned. +;------- Huge Telescope Nears Completion Lit's, taken a lot of elbow grease, but after seven years 0o grinding and polishing, the world's largest telescope, the 200-inch mir- ror for Mt. .Palomar, near Pasa- dena, Calif., will 'be completed early in August.
