Avers Measure Introduced By Sen-
ator Gray Would Not Be
Feasible

In talking with Represenative
George Tapper last Saturday, the
Editor of The Star found him vig-
orously opposed. to the bill intro-
'duced by Senator Carl Gray of Bay
county which would create a new
senatorial district embracing Gulf,
Calhoun and Washington counties
and to be know as District 40.
"Senator Gray had informed me
that his bill would -place, Washing-
ton and Bay counties in the pres-
ent 25,th District and create a new
40thl District made up of Calhoun
and Gulf counties," said Tapper,
"but when the bill came up Thurs-
day it placed Gulf, Calhoun and
Washington in District 40 and left
Bay county alone in the 25th Dis-
trict. Such a setup is geographic-
ally unsound and, the house will
kill '.the bill."
I- George said he. and Representa-
'tiyesl C. L. Clark of Calhoun and
Joe Potter of Washington county
were opposed to the measure. "All
of us are in favor of a redistricting
bill," he' said, "tbut not one which

mated would' have raised about

Merchants from all over Florida.
were taken by surprise as the com-
mittee took a quick vote on the bill
to levy the sale's tax. Senator Rose
of Orlando made t'he customary
notion to report the bill favorably,
saying all committeemen already
'knew how they were going to vote.
'Sena.tor W. A. Shands of Gaines-
vilie, daddy of the bill, stated that
revenues' from the tax would. "in-
sure" the gradual lessening of
real estate, taxes and wouma 'prob-
ably have absorbed all existing ex-
cise taxes except those upon gaso-
line, racing and license tags. It
would have imposed new excise
taxes upon sales,, rents and ad-
missions.
A similar sales tax bill was in-
troduced' in the house Wednesday
of this week.

Recent Guests
Mr. and Mrs. David Kirkland
Grace.ville were recent guests
Mr. and Mrs,. Harold Kirkland.


* At times' discretion is the better
part of valor, but apparently not so
with Carol Warner who, when lie
started out to get his bobcat fin-
is-hed the job.
:S.-ems that Carol. "Red" Morri-
son and Norman Allemore, in one
boat, and Mr. a.nd Mrs. John. Rob-
ert Smith in another, both powered
by 23 h.p Johnsons for which Carol
is the local dealer (free advt.),
were traveling up the canal Sunday
to Lake Wimico when. they saw a
large bobcat swimming across the
canal. Warner slowed' down his
boat and struck at the critter,-with
a paddle, whereupon Mr., Bobcat,
figuring he was at a disadvantage
in the' water-,, proceeded to climb
'into the boat.
Warner socked Mr. Bob with the
-paddle, which broke off short, and
the cat got under the seat on whnic
he was sitting and proceeded to
spit and snarl, make rapid passes
at Carol with. a handful of sharp-
scimitar-shaped claws, and raise
hades in general. After about 20
minutes of this, Carol finally dis-
patched the unwelcome guest with
'a lusty blow to the cranium with
'the bit of paddle remaining to him.
As an interesting sidelight to
the fracas, Norman Allemorie was
yelping to Warner and Morrison to
ablan.don ship and leave Mr. Bob in
sole command, but Morrison put a
headlock on Norman and' kept him
from, jumping into the drink.
The Smith tribe stayed, off at a
distance 'a idi' ~pplauided' the per-
formance, offering pertinent ad-
vice which wasn"t heeded ,by the
participants in the hectic battle,
particularly Mr. Bobcat.
The loser of the battle was' car-
ried ,back to town by the' victor.
and measured five feet from nose
to tail. Quite a varmint!

Wednesday's Tilt Is Battle of Er-
rors, With Locals Winning 11
To 10 After Eleven Frames

WEDNESDAY'S GAME
Due to a press of work, Ye 'Ed
failed to take in Wednesday's re-
turn game with Army at Tyndall
Field, but from what we hear it
was replete with errors, by both
teams, the Saintsi finally coming
out on the long end dof a 11-10 score
after 11 hectic inf.ings.
Terry Hinote started on, the
mound for St. Joe and' was re-
lieved' in the second by Jimmy
Adams; Lamar: Sales was' on the
receiving end all the way due to
the fact that Bert Cox was.s nursing
an injured finger (Cox played In
the outfield the last four innings.).
The score was 9-9 at the -begin-
ning of the eleventh, when W. J.
Herring tripled to drive in Cox and
Jim' McCall and -cinch the game.
Army tried valiantly, to beat the
rap, shoving, over one counter, but
a spectacular catch, by Tommy
Mitchell at third quashed the rally,
The box score follow's:
Teamn- R H E
St. Joe 1 2 0 3 1 0 0 2 0 0 2-11 18is ?

We don't know who the, sports
writer is for the Panama City
NewslHerald,' but whoever he is,
he'rl better get a new crystal ball,
for he predicted that: "The Tyn-
dall Tornadlo will definitely move,
into the league lead by eliminating
Port St. Joe today (Sunday) when
the two play at St. Joe today. Nei-
ther have lost a game in the
league thus far, although the
Saints defeated the Tornado in a
pre-season game."
Well, Mr. Smarty Pants (just to
get back to our childhood name-
calling) what is your opinion now,
after "Lefty" Thomason held the
Tornadoes to a shut-out?
'Sunday's game opened, with the
visitors chalking up a goos-e egg in
the opening stanza and the, Saints
chalking up the first marker on a

non, a long fly to right field by
Tommy Mitchell, who was out. but
Herring went to third after the
catch, and a hit to. the shortstop by

bringing Herring home. Bert Cox
was walked and, Dallas Weeks

The Tattler

Published Weekly By Featuring
BOYLES "Tips From Across Our
DEPARTMENT STORE Counter To Wise
Port St. Joe, Florida Shoppers"

Vol. 1 Friday, May 9, 1947 No. 41

This Issue of "The Tattler" Dedicated to All Mothers

DEAR SHOPlPERlS:
It appears as though we shall have to brush up this column
since Editor Bill is Stardusting and Moonshining again. How-
ever, it would, be assumption for us to hope to compete with this
veteran (we didn't say OLD, either) newspaper man! We note
in his production the school boy enthusiasm which sometimes
comes from the smell of good. steaks, pies, and pastries, so we're
giving Mirs. ,Smith credit for all that might be considered good in
the Stardust column. That leaves you out in the, cold, editor!
It's hardly necessary to mention that next SundJay is MOTHER'S
DAY. Feel'sure we've all been thinking about it for !some time.u
Boyles, Department Store has, been planning, for months to help
out in giving mothers a thrill on this wonderful day. We'1 wrap
you a bundle, of joy for Mother in a neat, attractive package just
for 0he asking. Select from the items advertised' in this space
and, you'll be sure to please her.
Wish we could command words from our limited vocabulary to
*write a fitting, article onl MOTHER. The first thing the, word
brings. to our mind is, LOVE. Mothers simply generate that LOVE
.that passeth understanding, and things we do not understand are
difficult to write about. However, we are everlastingly grateful
'to iave kiiown th joy; .peace and security of a MOTHER'S LOVE.
We are more grateful to have this blessing today. Yes, we knew
a mother of seven who seemed, to have the power of loving
seventy times seven. That love became more tender as ,the years
produced movie, suffering, hardships and heartaches, along with
the absence of material necessities of life. We've seen he.r,
through the yars, sick, discouraged', tii'ed, and weary in body,
possessed, with a soul that constantly increased' in buoyancy and
power. No, we cannot explain a mother's love, but we do know


what it will do. We know how.
know that it grips the hearts of
men and of nations. We know
that it will change the aesttny
of men and nations. We know
that it extends to the uttermost
parts of the earth. We know
that it will last through ete'rn-
ity. Yes, we would, like to write,
a fitting article on MOTHER,
but we can only pause with pro-
found humility and respect at
the sound of the worid. This
column pays its respects to all
mothers, and we might men-
tion the fact that Mrs. Elmore
Godifrey (formerly Mis's Betty
Temple) is the newest mother
in 'this city at the time this ar-
ticle .is written. We saw Pop El-
more bouncing around last eve-
ning and, it must have been ove,
that proud Baby Boy! What a
gaand and glorious feeling!
lViothers, you'll like, Kleinerts
waterproof baby pants for Boys
and G-irls! New shipment of E-Z
hands for baby,, too. Come in
and, revel in our Infants Depart-
ment that continues to get bet-
ter and better!
Dear customers, come with us
to Washington for a word with
the President: "Mr. President,
we want you to know that
Boyles Department Store, Port
St. Joe, Fla., has had. your price-
reducing suggestion in effect


it bears and how it shares. We

since March 1, 1946. We have
records with us to prove that 10
per cent has not been enough to
keep our house clean. .. No,
Mr. President, we do not stop
at 10 per cent-or even 20, 50
or 75 per cent-when we have
merchandise that is: not moving.
We have consistently worked
for volume at a small -profit.
Our .business is good and con-
tinues to increase steadily. We
are not alarmed. We know what
our customers want and we are
going to give it to them regard-
leses of price. We give them ser-
vice with a smile when they
come after it. They take it away
with a smile. We under-
stand, Mr. President, that you
have been in business at one
time yourself,, and we believe
you know what we are talking
about. We hv.v6 made, and shall
continue to make, price reduc-
tions that are necessary and le-
.gitimate. Again, Mr. Pres-
ident, we say that 10 per cent
hlas not been enough for Boyles
Department Store. Thank you,
Mr. President, for your kind a
tention!
Yours, pulling for the best

Our Country Right or Wrong

LIVING STANDARDS MAY DROP
The high wages being paid workers today
are good to look at, and if the wage increases
were all that is involved, it would'be fine, but.
it isn't, for every time wages are boosted they
add height to the trade barriers existing be-
tween this country and others whose peoples
need the products of America.
The higher the wages go here the more dif-
ficult it becomes to export the things manu-
factured in our factories, which must compete
with the goods made in other countries where
wages and living standards are much lower.
It is inevitable that the day will come when
manufacturers in other nations will begin
sending their products into the world market,
and that will be the day of reckoning, for the
. American manufacturers must dispose of the
surplus, of their products over and above the
needs of the home market. Advantageous dis-
posal of that surplus is the thing that will
keep the plants operating and the workers on
the job. If world market conditions should bar
export of the surplus, it would force the Am-
erican people upon a self-containment stan-
dard of living, which would mean a sharp re-
duction from our present high,level.

A SMALL BOY'S ESSAY ON NEWSPAPERS
The following, said to be a small boy's es-
say, has been going the rounds and has ap-
peared recently in a number of publications.
It is thought to have been first published by.
the Belleville (Kans.) Telescope: A
"I don't know how newspapers got into the
" world and I don't think God does, for He
never mentioned them in the Bible. Maybe the
editor was one of the Fallen Angels, for he
seems to fall for about everything that people
tell him. If the editor makes a mistake, folks
say he ought to be hung; if a lawyer makes
a mistake, he appeals the case; when a doctor
makes a mistake they say nothing 'cause they
don't know Latin, and they couldn't read his
writing if they did.
"An editor makes a mistake and there's a
lot of hollering, cussing and a libel suit, while
when a doctor makes one there's a funeral,
with flowers and. crying and perfect silence.
A doctor can use a word a mile long, and it
doesn't make any difference if he knows what
it means or not, for folks will think he's edu-
cated, while an editor has to spell any word he
uses. If a doctor goes to see another man's
wife he charges for the visit, while if the ed-
itor goes he gets shot.
"People that call the doctor and get well
think he's a great man; if they don't get well
they're dead and can't say anything. Two-
thirds of the folks in town are sore at the
editor all the time, either because the paper
said something about them they don't like or
said something nice about somebody they
don't like."

Perhaps it is called "honeymoon" because
sooner or later somebody gets stung.-Lake
City Reporter.

In any collection of odds and ends, it's par-
ticularly odd how hard it is to make the ends
fit.


'RECESSION' OR 'DEPRESSION'?
When, a year or so ago, a few doubting
Thomases gloomily intimated that the post-
war production boom might not last indefi-
nitely, they were greeted with angry opposi-
tion on all sides. Some of the government
economists were especially vigorous in argu-
ing 'that nothing even resembling a "reces-
sion" could be forecast, and that production
would go on to new high plateau after new
high plateau.
This, reasoning was based on the tremenGous
total of war savings in the possession of the
people, and on the undeniable fact that prac-
tically everyone needed a long list of goods,
ranging from clothes to homes, which had
been unobtainable for years. It was further
buttressed by the assumption that, after the
backlog of orders had been made up, the Am-
erican people would be accustomed to a higher
standard of living and would continue buying
in hitherto unprecedented amounts in order to
sustain it.
That pleasant, viewpoint has taken quite a
walloping lately. Even the government econ-
omists-with certain exceptions whose opti-
mismn, to judge by their public statements, re-
mains undim' m-: .--are talking cautiously of a
"corrective" down-turn in production. And
some experts are so certain that a recession
is on the way that they have stopped consider,
ing whether .it will or will not occur, and are
guessing as to when it will come and how se-
vere it will be.
The reasons for this attitude are easy
enough to find. First, there has been a con-
siderable decline in savings, because people
have spent the money, wisely or otherwise,
for non-durable goods, for luxuries, and for
just,plain living. Second, the saving held by
the average family were never large enough,
even had they been held. intact, to buy very
muc-h. Third, a large segment. of the public,
whether it is right or wrong, thinks that prices
are too high and is buying as little as possible.
Fourth, there is a distinct possibility of more
big-time labor disputes. Fifth, in many lines
the production of goods at the factory is much
greater than the sale of goods at retail-which
means that inventories are piling up, and that
distributors will pare their purchases. Sixth,
increases of income on the part of niost white-
collar groups have been less than the increases
in the cost of living-which simply means that
their real purchasing power is less than it used
to be, even though they get more dollars ealh
payday.
Both government and business are afraid of
sharp drops in production, which would in-
evitably be followed by widespread unem-
ployment, distress selling, and severe and un-
economic breaks in the price structure. This
is the pattern that has always resulted in the
severe depressions of the past. Very few
economists say that this will necessarily hap-
pen in the foreseeable future. But almost all
of the forecasters are much less bullish than
they once were.
The general consensus is that some kind of
an industrial slump will occur either this fall
or -Ainter, or next spring. Those are the most
commonly mentioned dates, but the forecasters
are hedged with "ifs" and butss."

The secret of the atomic bomb is the Ameri-
can Maginot Line. It gives us security in
imagination. To that extent it is a great dan-
ger.-Albert Einstein.

A sign in the office of a New York attorney
riads: "Love letters should be written in in-
visible ink and mailed in the incinerator."

"Ride a Bicycle to Reduce," advises an ad
in a Florida paper. You can be sure you'll fall
off quite a bit.-Panama City News-Herald.

It must be terrible when a woman gets so
mad she can't think of a word to say.

A happy medium is a fortune teller who
guesses right.-St. Augustine Record.

For Radish Quality
Sow Every Week


I r


Radishes share with green onions
trom sets the welcome which is al-
ways given the first harvest from
the vegetable garden. But never
how more than a week's supply ol
early radishes at a time.
G The early type, such as Scarlet
Globe, matures in three weeks, and
in another week turns pithy; so if
you have not used them all, there
will be a sad waste of good radishes
and garden space.
To avoid waste, sow not more
than seven feet of row each week
until hot weather approaches; or
double the sowing, but use a second
early, such as Icicle, and start us-
ing it when half-grown. For Lot
weather, sow one of the long, slow
growing varieties; and in midsum-
mer put in the winter varieties,
which are largest of all, but of
good quality and can be used until
Christmas.
But remember to sow radishes
thinly, and give each plant plenty of
room to mature. The seed come
up in a few days, and many gar-
deners sow their first crop by mix-
ing a few radish seed with the seed
of slow germinators, such as car-
rots, parsnips, parsley and beets,
all of which can be sown as soon
as the soil has been prepared.
Be sure to use not more than a,
tenth as many radish seeds. They
will come up long before their slowly
germinating companions, and
"mark the row." This will held
you cultivate without danger of dis-1
turbing the slow sprouting seeds'

structive to the oriental fruit moth,

"There had been some thought
of placing Washington and Cal-
h1oun in one, district and combining
Bay and. Gulf, but that wouldn't be
feasible since only adjoining coun-
ties may be included' in a district,
and under that setup the extreme
northern section of Bay county

hardly approve of that. This plan
was scrapped and the district rep-
resentatives agreed on the Gulf-
Calhoun and 'Bay-Washington dis-
tricts."
From your editor's point of view,
it looks to us that Senator Gray is
trying to get Bay county into a
district Jby itself so that he can
run for re-election next time a sen-
ator is to be named. Under the
present setup there is a "gentle-
man's agreement" whereby a sena-
tor is elected in rotation from Bay,
Gulf, Calhoun and Washington
counties', which at present make
up District 25.
