Senior Play Is

Best Presented

Here In Years


"The Scarcrow Creeps" Gives Au-
dience Thrills, Chills and
Laughter

By KATHERINE NIX
There have been plays and there
have been plays, but 'there wasn't
'been a play, in years presented at
the local high .school .which could
compare' with the sle.nior presenta-
tion last Friday night, "The Scare-
crow Creeps."
In spite of all the competition the
seniers had, such as softball tilts,
picture shows and just plain "don't
careness," the cast turned out a
bang-up job, and, the audience -was
probably the largest in many a
day.
The spectators 'were kept in sus-
pense and sitting on the edges of
'their seats' for two and a, half hours.
Will Rams-ey really turned in a
jam-up "Lionel. Baryrmnore per-
formance" as Roderick Gage, and
'Joan Smith was a "natural" for
Maudie Holbs, the maid who didn't
know her English. She kept every-
one in stitches-including the cast!
Without J. D. Shealy as' Perry
GageL, the other members of the
cast couldn't possibly have gone
through the performance, as it
seems J. D. knew everybody's lines
.except his own' That was a' good
job, J. D. '
Kenneth Gage in the person of
of P. B. Fairly, -saved the night!
Shealy insisted in throwing them
off .balance. but th.L ..cool-headed
Kenneth Gage wouldn't be outdone.
Chuck Gibson, aliast Adam Throgg,
would grace anybody's domain. He
was even better than Charles But-

Rotary Teams Will Vie
In Attendance Contest

'The Rotary Club will observe
"Attendance Month" during May,,
and to ad'd a bit of interest and ex-
:.citement to the occasion, B. B.
Conklin and Jimmy Greer will head
opposing teams in an .attendance
contest which will run four weeks.
Should Jimmy have his. way
about it, the Conklin team will en-
tertain the club with a, barbecue
at the close of the contest. Jimmy
is out to win, .but B. B. is just as
determined to see the Greer team
do the entertaining.
Whatever happens, it is bound to
be a rip-roaring friendly fight, and
most Rates feel the feMd will taste
much better should there be a 100
per cent attendance during May,
with Jim'my and B. B. doing the
entertaining.

SUNDAY'S GAME
With the Wewahitchka 'Gators
pulling some fast major league tac-
tics in the first inning and chalk-
cing up three runs, it looked, for a
time like the St. Joe Saints would
come out on the little end of the
horn in the opening game of the
Gulf Coast League played Sunday,
at Wewahitchka,/but the local lads
settled' down after that first ddisas-
rous frame. a n'd, held the 'Gators
from further scores up to the
seventh, in the me-antime chalking
up three in the fourth and one in
the sixth.
That fourth inning tied up the
score. Frank Hannon led off with
a single through, third and stole
second; Tommy Mitchell walked;
Leod~ard, Bc.lin socked' out a three-
bagger to center field' that would
have been a homer if there had
been a fence, driving in Hannon
andi Mitchell; Bert Cox was out
on a long fly to left field Belin
coming home after the catch to tie
the score. Dallas, Weeks: and Dave
Hinote retired the side. with two
long flies to right field that were
taken by the Wewa outfielder.
Another run was made In the
sixth when Hannon took two bases
on an error 'by the 'Gator third-
baseman, Mitchell fanned', Belin
was robbed of a, beautiful hit to
left field that Bill Linton caught
on his fingertips, with Hannon
coming home after the catch. Cox

HOUSE CLEANING HINTS
.To remove watermarks from a
,waxed finish, take off old wax with
liquid wax; apply a fresh coat.
To mildew-proof awnings and
'shower curtains, soak them in very
soapy water and, without rinsing,
dip them in a solution of copier,


sulphate, which you can get at the
drug store.
To protect floors from furniture
marks and scratches, wax rockers
and feet of chairs and tables when
you wax your floors.
To make your 'home "come
clean" from attic to cellar, get
BRIGHT SAIL cleaning aids at
your A&P. Every one of these
fine products does such a thorough
job that no homemaker should be
without them.

DEAR SHOPPERS: '
We are beginningg to believe, that the world is getting better! for the Pepi Crowd by
Some of you dear readers will no doubt wonder why, and we shall
J state briefly our reasons for this belief. Last week a waitress in
a hotel restaurant smiled when we gave our order and, refilled!
our water..glass; without even being asked! We rode a bus for a
.short distance and, made it a point to watch the operator. He
observed every regulation that a bus company could have, as far
as we could tell. We saw this 1bus driver leave his comfortable
I seat to assist an elderly woman out of the bus' at a crossroad's
stop we saw him assist an honest faced, weather-beaten
farmer with his 'bag of potatoes we 'saw this, same driver
wait patiently a minute or two for a tired, weary mother with -
one small child' in her arms and' three little ones, hanging on (we
don't see how she ever got there). We were so, much impresses *J
with this driver's courtesy and efficiency that we asked him to -
give us. hi's name, which he did without hesitation. We told him
that he had, given us something to think about and that we might '' )
want to write about him, too. We are sending a copy of this, is- -A f
sue of The Star to Troy iSapp, Marianuna,, Fla. (the bus driver) ._
We are also sending a copy to the home office of the Greyhound
Lines, for we want this' firm to know that this man adds dignity '
to the operation of its bu- and makes, bus, riding more pleasant
/ for its patron. Yes, we believe, that better things are .." '
ahead of us! We saw a successful and tired profe.s.sional .
man sit until late hours to discuss plans for improving the spir-
itual life, of h';,1 community. Maybe we should ask ourselves a
question: What are we doing to promote the welfare of mankind?
You take it from here, and we'll work on a little advertising pro- "

Our Country "*' Right or Wrong

PEACE OR WAR IN OUR TIME
Ever since World War I the editor of TheI
.Star has been a strong advocate of universal
military training, and now that the American
Legion is pushing this issue, your editor is
back of that organization 100 per ce'it, and we'
believe that the majority of the American peo-
ple will also be strong for it.
The American plan of military training for
national security sponsored by the Legion and
now 'before congress, requires one year's
training, or its equivalent, for every young
aman some time between his eighteenth and
twentieth birthdays. Four months of this
would be spent in basic training, and eight
months, or the equivalent, in advanced study
in military schools, colleges, ROTC courses,
or in the armed forces, the organized reserves
tor the national guard. Choice of army, navy
for air force, as the field for training, lies with
the trainee.
Training of this sort is valuable to the indi-
vidual as well as being in the national inter-
est. It will afford to many young m.en the op-
portunity to pursue an education beyond the
completion of high school, and will lay a fur-
ther scientific and sociological groundwork
for those who will go on to colleges and uni-
versities. To the nation it assures a continuing'
reserve of manpower, organized for immedi-
a;te duty if the occasion demands, and trained
in the modern,. complicated techniques of
scientific warfare.
This reservoir of strength is' the only argu-
-ment that will curb the ambitions of would-be
.aggressors.' It might well make the difference
"between peace arid war in our time and in
the future.

As a general rule an old goat is widow wise
b1ut flapper foolish.


STARDUST and

MOONSHINE


Been quite some time since we
'have felt "Stardustish," and any-
ho'w, Glenn Boyles ha's been doing
pretty good with a similar line (na-
thrally, he can't come up to S.tar-
dust) in his "Tattler" column in
his weekly advertisement.
'Way back when The Star was a
mere infant (it'll soon observe its
tenth birthday) no issue, was con-
sidered complete without "Star-
dust." Now we're getting
older, lazier and fatter (our wife
feeds us: too good) and it doesn't
really seem important somehow.
But we. do know that our readers
like this sort of slush and at times
we feel we're letting 'em down by
not writing the col'mn, and so we
rush right into it. But 'soon
we backslide, and-no Stardust.
Our wife (you ever notice that
Inost columnists when they run
out of ideas' fall back on their
wives 'to fill' out the column) says
our desk looks like a rat's nest
and can she straighten it up for
us? The answer is always a loud
"No! Don't you dare touch- that


DESTROYER OF LIBERTY
The Communist party of Oregon recently
distributed a curious leaflet in opposition to
the demand of Secretary of Labor Schwellen-
bach that the party be outlawed in this coun-
try. In that leaflet it 'made this interesting
statement: "All Americans, especially all trade
unionists and their organizations, should re-
member that in every country in which the
Communist party was outlawed, the free trade
unions and the liberties of all sections of the
common people were also suppressed."
It woutldi b interesting to ask the Commun-
ists about conditions in Russia, the home of
CouimuniLisi. Certainly the Communist party
has not been suppressed there-it is the only
legal party, and it runs the country, lock,
stock and barrel. And,- in Russia "the free
trade unions and the liberties of all sections
of the common people" are and have long been
non-existent. Russia is the police state pure
and simple. Labor, and everyone else, does
what it is told on pain of the heaviest
punishment.
The standard of living of Russian worker:
is almost at Asiatic levels. The ruling class,
by comparison, knows every luxury. Reliable
authorities have recently written that the So-
viet government, as a matter of policy, has.
transported legions of workers from one part
of the country to the other, has subjected them
to forced labor, and has maintained them in'
conditions comparable only to.Hitler's concen-
tration camps.
The Commies can rant and rave all they
please, but they can't get away from the fact
that in Ametica the rights of labor,and the
"common people" havebeen scrupulously pro-
tected and maintained, and the basic freedoms
,of speech, assembly and religion been kept
fult- alive. When we analyze their "super-
state" we find that inevitably it is a destroyer
of liberty.


LET HIM TALK
A press dispatch from Washington telling
of the war fraud trial of Andrew J. May, for-
mer house military committee chairman, says
that May's l.vwyer threatens to have May tes-
tiffy about 1944 campaign contributions that
would "involve high Democratic party figures,
including members of congress" unless the
investigation is dropped.
We say. let him talk. If others are involved,
they should he smoked out so that the people
may know them for what they are.

Maybe the reason they want to send a
rocket to the moon is to get something new
to tax.


dlsk!" It may look like a
'leluvamess to everybody else, bur
to us it is ideal. We have, a gen-
eral idea of just about where any-
thing is: (at times we're wrong),
and Ye wouldn't have that ten-year
acetinulation" disturbed for any-
thing. Occasionally a few letters
will topple off the pile, and fall to
the floor, and in such cases, if we
find. as we pick 'em up, a reply is
necessary we answer it. It's an
excellent system. About the
only time we. clear off a space on0
it is to make room to rest our foot
(not feet, as you all probably
know). We don't 'envy
guy's like Harry Saunders and Joe
Sharit, who have huge mahogany,
glass-topped desks that have the
decks cleare-d of everything. They
have everything filed away where
Lhey can find it at a moment's no-
tice They don't have the
pleasure of the hunt and the thrill
that comes when an especially
elusive and juicy letter or mem-
orandum shows.,.up after a half-
hour search No thanks,
I'm afraid I'd die of ennui with
a clean desk lop.
We sure had a lot of bones in
the heads in last week's Star. For
instance: "Kiwans-Key Club Box-
ing Tournament Cancelled," "Se-
nior Will Present Class Play To-


night" (what, only one senior in
high school! Wonder how he, or
she., played all the parts?) "Public'
Is Invitee To Inspect Memorial
Library" (sounds like that suttec
practiced in In'dia where the wife
throws herself on her husband's
funeral pyre to be burne-d alive.)
Those were the mailnI mis-
takes-and we hadn't even had a
snort!
We've been sorta shuddering
every time a woman came into the
shop this week on account of that
"Wuxtra! Wuxtra!" story we had
on the front page last week. .
From the looks of the handwriting
we figured' Katherine, Nix had snuix
in and left it while were. at the ball
game, and we knew she wouldn't
mind a bit of kidding, especially it
her story made page one, but .
we saw her on the street Saturday
and she-said, she. wasn't respon'
sible. She did say she en-
vied us, though, 'cause "Editors
have all kinds of fun!" We
think s5o, too-especially editors of
little one-hoss rags like The Star
(better not let us he-ar you call
his one-hoss rag a "one-hos's rag")
where we know everybody, every-
body knows us and everybody
knows everybody, if you gather
what we mean. .. Ye.p, I
reckon we have more fun tlian any-
body in town.
