SOLID REAL ESTATE VALUES IN ST.

This property in particular, and Port St. Joe in general, were given thorough investigation, and it is a well known tact that the Pruden- tial is. one of the most conservative investors in real estate mortgages in' the Unitedl States.

Teachers of City Glee Club To Will Be Honored Present Concert "Appreciation Day" Will Be Ob- served Sunday With Reception And. Church Services By MRS. RALPH SWATTS P.-T. A. President Since the :beginning of the school year, the. leaders of the Parent- Teacher Association of this city have urged' not only the parents but all of the people of the com- munity to show more appreciation for the teachers' of our schools for the splendid work they are. doing on behalf of our children. In recent years, our teachers have worked against great odds'. Due to lack of space, a proc- lamation by Mayoi Horace W. Soule, proclaiming Sunday, April 13, as "Teacher Appreciation Day" has :been. omitted from this is-sue of The Star. However, we can all assume that the procla- mation has been issued and act accordingly. The dearth of space was, caused by Hizzoner's insist- ence that we run a special Pu- rina ad for him, which you will find on page two. The teacher shortage, inadequate buildings, equipment' which is not up to par-even a shortage of necessary textbooks--are just a few of the problems they have had to face. Buft our teachers have met these problems bravely and with .the determination to make the best of an extremely difficult situ- Continued on page 8) Mrs. Mary Bell Bass Passes Away Tuesday Mrs. Mary Bell Bass, aged 68, passed away Tuesday morning at her home. on Eighth Street.

Lagging Chick Sales Point To Shortage of Eggs and Poultry By Fall As Expected Surpluses Fail To Develop How much money could you make next fall if eggs were selling for a dollar a dozen? It could happen. In fact, in New York last week, the President of the Butter and Egg Merchants' Association said it may happen. IT MAY HAPPEN! WHY? Because every sign today points to a shortage of eggs and poultry next fall. Two months ago-even 30 days ago-nobody would have believed such a prediction. Folks were talking of an egg surplus. The Government said it would support the price of eggs. But what has happened -? THERE IS NO SURPLUS. Eggs are disappearing as fast as they are being laid. And far too few baby chicks are being started to meet the demand for poultry and eggs next fall. Poultry experts don't need a crystal ball to predict this coming shortage and high egg and poultry prices. They just look at these cold facts of the U. S. Department of Agriculture, which tell the story: THESE FACTS POINT TO HIGH EGG AND POULTRY PRICES 1. AT THE SEASON WHEN EGGS WOULD NORMALLY BE MOVING INTO STORAGE IN GREAT VOLUME, STOCKS OF SHELL EGGS ARE DWINDLING. In February this reduction amounted to 70,000 cases. On March 1 there was only about half an egg in storage for every American. A year ago there was one and a half million cases-ABOUT 7 TIMES AS MANY. 2. FROZEN EGGS IN STORAGE DECREASED BY 7 MILLION POUNDS IN FEBRUARY as compared to an increase of 6 million pounds in Feb- ruary a year ago. 3. EGG PRODUCTION IN FEBRUARY WAS 4 PER CENT BELOW A YEAR AGO DUE TO 6 PER CENT FEWER LAYERS. 4. AMERICANS ARE EATING EGGS AT A RECORD RATE because of high purchasing power and high meat prices. 5. THERE WERE 55 MILLION FEWER CHICKENS ON FARMS JAN- UARY. 1 than there were a year ago. 6. VIRTUALLY ALL SIGNS POINT TO AN EXCELLENT GRAIN PRO- DUCING SEASON IN 1947 which normally means lower feed prices. A record wheat crop and another 3 billion bushel corn crop are forecast. IT'S A GOOD YEAR TO START CHICKS Yes, eggs may sell for a dollar a dozen next fall, but you'll have to start chicks this spring-to cash in on this golden opportunity. Our advice is to buy good chicks and start them right. Feed them Purinai Chick Startena to get them off to a flying start. It's America's Favorite Chick Starter for LIFE AND GROWTH and this year it's the BEST Purina EVER made. We have a good supply in stock. Come in and see us for chicks and all your chick raising needs.

Mrs. Wilma R. Revell, county home demonstration agent, has been promoting poultry projects among the Gulf county 4-H girls fo.r some time. andl she recently found a very strong supporter in this work in Mayor Soule, who noi only agreed with Mrs. Revell that it would be we'll for the girls to carry more poultry projects, but also offered 250 baby chicks, to girls who were interested in start- ing poultry projects. So the names' olf all senior 4-H girls were placed in a box and each had the, oppor- tunity to draw, the ten lucky ones getting 25 chicks apiece. The lucky girls have received their chickens and are now raising them, obtaining pointers and sug- gestions' on poultry raising from Horace and Mrs. R'evell. They will keep recordil of feeding, gains, and other phases of their projects and report 'on them at the end or the year. Girls .who obtained chickens for their projects in this. way are Alice -Guilford, Janice Kennington, Iris Itaffield, 'Velnia Jbhns'on, Sadie Ar- i4ett, Maxine Guilford, Vonie Ruth Faircloth, Hazel Smith, Alice Fay Faircloth and S-arah Sealey. Would Organize Put-Put Races For Port St. Joe John Robert Smith and Massey Ward went over to Panama City -last Sunday and! entered the 22- horsepower outboard motor racing contest held by the association in that city. They took first place in two heats and returned home all hopped up like a couple of China- men who had been hitting the. pipe. Monday they contacted a num- ber of outboard owners here, who likewise are "put-put" crazy, and, finding them enthusiastic over the idea, are planning to form some sort of organization to promote. outboard races here, and to that end are holding a meeting Tues- day night at 8 o'clock at Smith's Pharmacy and extending an invi- tation to, outboard motor owners and anyone else interested to bec present.

Our Country "' Right or Wrong LOOK GIFT LOANS IN THE MOUTH Of course we're only a little frog in a little puddle putting out a little newspaper, but from where we sit it begins to look that with all these gift loans being made by the U. S., if we don't watch our step we're going to be suckers again and be angled into the position of paying reparations for World War II just as we did for World War I. We made loans after World War I, just as wve are doing now, and the only country that reaid its loan was Finland. The rest of 'em became quite indignant when asked' when they were going to pay up. Practically every European country today is reviling America openly, and yet all have their hands out for a loan. What they need is a kick in .the pants. They should be told that the only way they can be rehabilitated is to return to productive work, which will give them buying power. As long as they believe they can get a handout from America they will just sit: around living in a dream-world-iand. put off facing realities as long as they can. The Jacksonville Times-Union pulled a good ,one Sunday. In listing the senate and house members for the 1947 state legislature it stated. "District 3-E. Bert Riddle, Geneva, Ala." Of course we know that Alabama would like to incorporate, part of Florida inside her boundaries, but we hardly think she is entitled zat the present time to have a seat in the senate.

It *ain't slo skookum, I don't think, ' nele Sambo ,better leave it alone. This here planned, medicine Is sorta like the planned life of a turkey farm-the turkey ain't got no choice of a hatchetnlan, neither -has the patient any choice of a mnedic under the panel system. I;ve known Doe Bartee for years and more recently Doc Norton. Be- tween the two of 'em they've look- ed after the family and have always showed up with their little black -bags at every beck and call to do something' about our ills. Them guys up there in Washing- ton are talking' about putting' 'enr on a panel system. Reason-some. thin' about gittin more work outen 'em. I tell 'em if this happened e . I wuz them I'd take in boarders and fergit medicine. Over -there in England they wood probably ibe listed as two of the more efficient doctors. Well, under this here. panel system, lots *of other folks would, like "free" service- as their patients. Them there Britishers have found that they've gotta limit the number orf "free" panel patients a doctor kin take. Thataway a lotta people got NO STEPCHILD A short while back, the house and senate .of the state of Indiana adopted one of the most remarkable resolutions ever proposed before a legislative body, and one which might well be .followed by Florida and the rest of the states. It was a dramatic reaffirment of those principles of local independence and lo- cal responsibility that have been so largely forgotten under a philosophy which would have the federal government do everything- and pay for everything. Here, in part, is what the resolution said: "Indiana needs no guardian and intends to have none. We Hoosiers-like the people of our sister states-were fooled for quite a spell with the magician's trick that a dollar taxed out of our pockets and sent to Washington will be bigger when it comes back to us. "We have taken a good look at said dollar. "We find that it lost weight in its journey to Washington and back. The political broker- age of the bureaucrats has been deducted. We have decided that there is no such thing as federal aid. We know that there is no wealth to tax that is not already within the boun- daries of the forty-eight states. "So we propose henceforward to tax our- selves and take care of ourselves. We are fed Sup with subsidies, doles and paternalism. We are no one's stepchild. We have grown up. We serve notice that we will resist Washington, D. C., adopting us." H-ere is something we would like to see the present session of the Florida legislature take up. It is the final argument against having the federal bureauracy construct 6ur public build- ings, pay our old-age pensions; lend us money, and do all the rest of the things it has, Deeni doing. Every nickel that is spent must come out of our pockets-and added to it must be the immense costs of political administration and spoils-taking. : ',The Indiana legislature h ,- simply restated, in.very plain and blunt words, the doctrine on which this nation was built. And it is the only doctrine that can keep this nation strong and free in the years to come. We suppose that if all the fish hooks in the world were placed end to end,, there would still be more than enough" lyin' to take care of them all.
