Flashes From the

Legislature!
By REP. GEORGE TAPPER

House Bill 432, the. highway
beautification 'bill,, was passed by
the house. This wa:s a bill that
caused a terrific fight when Rep.
Peacock offered an amendment to
make it unlawful for cows to de-
stroy or eat any of the grass' or
shrubbery along -the. state high-
ways. This amendment was finally
withdrawn Wednesday.
The house passed a salary in-
crease for all state's' attorneys and
assistant state's attorneys. The
state's attorney of Gulf county was
raised from $375 to $500 a mouth,
.and the assistant state's attorney
from $250 to $325 a month. This
bill is now pending before the
senate. 4i
Your representative last Friday
introduced a constitutional amend-
ment requiring state-wide forest
conservation 'and fire, protection.
'The people of the itat'e will vote
on this amendment in 1948. I was
very fortunate in being able to
pass this measure by a unanimous
vote of ,bhe house without it going
to a committee, 'for study.
Your representative also intro-
duced a bill reducing the counties'
contribution to 'the state TB sana-
toria :on pa bients sent from the
c6iiisties fi.om $1.25 a dary to 75c
a day. This bill will -save Gulf
county alone, a considerable sum
of money.
'Your tepriesenta'tive introduced- a
cons-titutional amendment which
would create a 40th senatorial dis-
trict composed of Gulf and Cal-
houn counties, leaving Bay and

ders poppies. Everyone is urged to
buy and wear a poppy tomorrow in
memory of the dead of World
Wars I and II.
These poppies' are made by dis-
abled veterans in the veterans hos-,
pitals, and in making and selling
'these poppie-s they are not only pro-
S-vided. with beneficial work for
their hand's, but are enabled to
help themselves and their families,
and. it also acts as a moraie-builder
to 'the veteran.
The greater portion of the. pro-
ceeds from this poppy sale go back
to the veterans and: the balance is
used' by the local Auxiliary in child
welfare work and the rehabilita-
tion of living veterans.
Everyone is urged to be gener-
ous when they buy their poppies
tomorrow.

changed at the insistence of Man-
ager Leonard ,Belin, but the Saints

to chalk up six runs and cinch the

giving everything it had."
-"When the car ran into the ditch
and overturned, bodies flew in all
directions," said Nelson. "Mrs. Bes-
sie Fidid'ler was hurled so high in
the air that the severe scalp wound
she received was caused by a tele-
phone wire." He said he couldn't
understand how. anyone survived.

The Port St. Joe high school
band, under the direction of Stan-
ford Beckham, presented its an-
nual spring concept last Friday eve-
ning in the high school auditorium,
and it was clearly evident that the
small crowd enjoyed the varied
program. The band has come a long
way in the past two years-from
nothing to a first division outfit.
Those who failed to attend this
concert missed an evening of first
class musical entertainment.
The program began with a med-
ley of "Best Loved Southern Melo-
dies," ending with .the well-loved
march, "Dixie." This fwas followed
by the )favorite march .of practic-
ally everyone, "UInder the Double
Eagle," and the band handled this
difficult number as if they had
'been playing it for years. P. B.
Fairley then played; the popular
"'Trees," accompanied by the band.
The most enjoyed piece of the
evening was, "The Rampage of the
Oldi Gray Mare.." The drums started
her off at a walk and speeded her
up to a trot, the band then taking
up, the tale and carrying, her thru
,o the last fling of her life. When
the old mare finally died of over-
exertion, Wade Barrier gave an ex-
pert whinney on hi. *"-umpr.r."
Another novelty iiuAbIet Wav the
"Cricket an, the Bullfr6g," with
Peggy Hardry on the clarinet as the
cricket and. Tommy Owens on the
bass horn as the bullfrog.
These, and many other numbers
comprised the best program the
band has ever presented.

Conscription Memorial
Is Adopted By House

After an hour of debate, which
Speaker Beasley criticized for cost-
ing the state $1000 worth of time,
the house Thursday of last week
adopted on a roll call vote, of 50
to 10, with 35 not voting, a me-
morial asking congress to enact a
law establishing universal military
training for the United States.
All members who participated in
the debate were veterans of either
the finst or secondWorld Wars.
The memorial was' sponsored by
Rep. Wilson of Columbia county,
who urged its adoption because
"our armed forces are being al-
lowed to slide back Into a state of
ineffectiveness." He declared that
a strong military force could be
raised in peacetime only by coni-


pulsory conscription.

PEOPLE ARE CRAZY!

Contributed
People are the craziest animals!
They want ,things, yet when they
g-t them it seems the desire leaves
them and they turn their attention
to new fields.
We are referring -to the school
band. The people ,of thi's commun-
ity had a "hissy" until they got a
band, butt now that they have it
it seems the, backing is gone.
Last Friday night the band gave
its annual concept. The young mu-
sicians, worked long and, hard to
get the numbers ready for presen-
tation. They worked not only days,
but nights as well, preparing for
the nighli of all nights.
Well, that night came Friday,
May. 16, 1947. Just imagine their
disappointment though, when they
began their concert with only 12
(yes, one dozen!) people in the
audience. We wonder how you
would-have felt as a member or
the band=? Don't you know they
were just thrilled, to death at such
a capacity crowd! By the end of
the evening perhaps 95 or 100 lo-
yal parents, and friends came in.
The people in this, town should
be ashamed of themselves for not
.backing the school organizations
any 'better. Your school is just
what you make it, and it looks as
though a heap of us are falling
down on our job. Some of us have
the idea that 'the teachers and stu-
dents are the only necessary tools
to make a good school. You are so
wrong if you do-one of the most
important parts of any' building is
its foundation, and you, parents
and fOriendls, are the foundation
stones of the student body and the
school. The students are no better
than you make them, with your In-
tgrest and support.
Come on! Let's get behind the
school and give. it all we have-
not only fr6m a financial point, but,
by) making every effort to attend,
the school activities.

Geddie Takes Two Firsts
In Panama Race Events
J. H. Geddie took his foot in
his hand and his motor in his car
and went over to Panama City last
Sunday to walk away with most of
the money and blue ribbons in the
outboard' motor races staged' by
the St. Andrews Outboard Motor
Club on the Watson Bayou course.
Henry took first' prize in ,the 22
h.p. class over Percy Cotton of Pan-
ama City, piling up yardage on his
skill at the turns. He also took an-
other 22 h.p. first by defeating L.
P. Womble of Panama.
Due, to failure of a 50 h.p. entry
to show up, Geddie entered a 33
h.p. motor in the 50 h.p. event and
came in second, losing' out with h'is
.33 h.P. motor to the 55 h.p. entry
by about 65 yards.
Gedidie, Carol Warner and John
Robent Smith plan on being pres-
ent next Sunday at Panama for these
races', and Ye Pd also plans on be-
ing present to shoot some colored
moving pictures of 'em.

Bill Whaley Victorious
In Battle With Big Ling
Author Unknown
The most furious battle of the
season rang down its blood-stained
curtain at 11:38 thursday of 'last
week, bringing -with it the defeat
of the "Terror of the Deep." Con-
queror, ruler and master of all lo-
cal waters stands the likeable and
unassuming' champion-Bill Whaley
while at his feet lies the vanquished
and'quivering foe-a 52-pound ling.
During those 18 minutes of
nerve-wracking suspense there was
some doubt as to who would win
this furious battle. But it was dis-
pelled as Bill, throwing his. old hat
in the. bottom of the boat and caiS
ing on his last ounce of reserve
strength, fought as though for his
very life.
(Playing the monster like a pro-
fessional and using every trick of
the trade, he finally hauled it along-
side where Red' Higdon wielded the
gaff as only Red can.
The ling was weighed, on the
Swatts Grocery scales,, and any ex-
aggeration of poundage is purely
coincidental.

as the-gem of the lot: "When peace
comes, it will bring many people
great joy. Some will be reunited
with loved ones', others with their
husbands."

Boyles Department Store is usually
"First With the Best," and may we
offer our heartiest congratulations
to those young men and young
women who will be. in the Class of
'47. You are living and achieving
in the greatest age this world has
ever known. You have had, and will
continue to have, opportunities
your mothers and -fathers hardly
dreamed of. We are, not qualified
to advise you, but we want to ask
you one question, which we believe
will determine. your success or
failure in this thing of living, viz.:
Can you take it? No matter where
you go or what you do, this ques-
tion will confrontt you in a thou-
sand different ways, maybe more.
CAN YOU TAKE IT?
Now, a word of appreciation to
the thousands of thrifty, eager
shoppers who made our recent
DOLLAR. DAYS the biggest and
best yet. Frankly, we wondered at
times where they all came from.
We had a number of extra sales
people, 'but not enough to serve
you as- we usually do. Next
time we'll have more. One wise
shopper from Tallahassee spent
the greater part of a twenty and
we got it straight that he was still
wondering next morning at the
breakfast table how in the world
he got so much -for his money. You
were thrilled with those DOLLAR
VALUES 'we were thrilled
with your presence it was
doubly a thrilling experience .
everybody happy hurrah!

Our Country -- Right or Wrong

A COMMENCEMENT
Port St. Joe high school will graduate a
,class of twenty-one next Tuesday evening. As
usual, a series of events and occasions have
.distinguished the egress from high school into
the future. It is a fitting climax to the. years
of work in the lower grades and the high
.school that the young students are permitted
to realize that this is a time for celebration
and gaiety., and a time for dignity and solemn-
ity. And all of these elements are injected into'
the commencement calendar.
To many of those graduating Tuesday eve-
n.ing, the curtain, will have rung down.on di-
rected education. Those will have to make a
place in the world without further schooling,
in the temples of education. They will find
that education is never completed, however,
*even though they have not the benefit of
teachers of higher learning. Their future edu-
,cation will have to be attained in the school of'
experience;., from the everyday happenings
that are chronicled through ,the newspapers
.and over the air waves; from observation of
their fellow' man. There are those among the
-members of 'this 1947 graduating class who
will reach greater heights, perhaps, than
others who are privileged to pursue the paths
,of higher learning, so they should not be dis-
,couraged by the "seemingly impassable trails
-to the tops of the mountains."
The universities and colleges will claim
some members of this graduating class. These


will have privileges which, if used intelli-
gently, will gain for them broader outlooks in
the worlds of science, arts, politics and the
professions-privileges which may or may not
place them in the high places of life, since
such places are attained by the comparative
few-but which will give them- opportunities
to go forward towards the high places with
assurance and poise, will give them oppor-
tunities to serve their fellow man with under-
standing and sympathy. These should appreci-
ate and grasp the privileges of higher educa-
tion and the opportunities so offered.
All of those graduating from high schools
-all over the country Ithis year are facing prob-
lens which will be forced on them for solu-
tion within a very few years. It is impo-tant
that they continue their education from the
schools of higher learning, from the schools
of experience, from observation and common-
sense thinking. Each one of them has an im-
.portant part in the solution of word troubles.
Each onle of them has had a thrill out of solv-
ing the various problems that have been a part
of their education. When the time comes fbr
them to take up the problems of their com-
munity, state and nation, they can be de-
pended upon to handle them intelligently and-
efficiently.
As a nation, we take the:wonders of science
as a matter of course. We refuse to be sur-
prised at new developments in any line of en-
deavor. One of the great writers commented
that there are still as many wonders to be
discovered as- have been ,brought to light.
Those graduating from high schools today will
create, and discover, and unearth unheard of
and undreamed of glories 'to make the world
a better place in which to live.
They are confronted with the formidable
task 'of bringing order out of existing eco-
nomic chaos. But they will also be privileged
to sit in and ie actors in the thrilling events
of the future that few of the present genera-
tion will live to see.
To the graduates of Port St. Joe high school
we extend our congratulations and felicita-
tions. Their privileges and educational facili-
ties have started them off in life with greater
advantages than their fathers and mothers
had, and we hold them in high honor and have
faith in their ability to carry on the banner of
civilization with dignity and glory.
C(raduates of 1947, we salute you!


but he couldn't say for sure what
Above really is.
Next I struck up with a woman
who had enticed three men to the
matrimonial slaughterhouse and
was out trying to lassoo the fourth,
and I thought for sure I'd. get the
low' down on Love from her. .
I said, "Oh, woman, thou who ha.st
tossed many males to the ashcan,
canst tell me what is Love.p?"
And she said, "Well, all that I
ever knew about it was the bunk."
. That was a stunner, and
yet whatever 'it is,; bunk or no
bunk, it must be hot stuff, for she
was out looking for more.
On my way back to The Star of-
fice, and still up in the air about
this Love business, I saw a young
couple in a car entangled in each
other's arms. Stepping up along-
side, I Oasked, "Oh, Youth, is this
Love?" The girl shot her:
hard-boiled disposition at me and
said, "Who, wants to know?" .
And when I told her the world was
dying :or a little uit of Love, she,
said, "Send, 'esn around." .
Which was the ,same as saying she
had IT in great gobs.
,So about all the advice I can give
is: Why worry about it, for if we
can't savvy it, how can we know

STARDUST and

MOONSHINE

Being rather rushed this week,
what with these extra pages due
to congratulations to the graduates
((whom we -congratulate, by the.
-way. but since we've already eu-;
logized over them in the editorial
column we don't believe it is neces-
-sary to do so again here.), we dug
up an old Stardust column we pub-
lished in 1938 and are reprinting a
part of it herewith:
I don't know how the question
arose, but somehow the conversa-
*-tionial trpic turned to "Lo'"-,'" and
-a certain young theater manager
remarked, that "Love is an ab-
scess."
It nmay be, for all I know .
People who are in love act as
though something were eating on
them.
The. Good Book says that "Love
passeth all understanding.
Webster defines it as "An affec-
tion of the heart excited by that
which delights or commands af,.
fection; devoted attachment to one
of the o-pposite sex.' '
Walter Winchell, quoting George
P. Mayhew of Pittman, N. J., de-
fines; it as follows: "Love is an
inward indescribableness and an
outward oil overishness." .
Which, after all, is about right.
Deciding to look into this mat-


ter of love myself, I went out on
Reid Avenue and interviewed sev-
eral people from v~-trious walks of
life.
I first approached a one-husband
wife (or at least so I was told.) and
such wives are getting scarce now-
adays, and' asked her what she
knew about Love. She said'
she had, been hog-tied to an old
skinflint for 30 years, and he was a
goodly man and fussed, and cussed
and slapped not, but a's for Love,
well, she, just couldn't put her
finger on it that it was like
the pot of ,gold at the end of the
rainbow just beyond her


reach but she had hopes of
her husband dragging a little of it
in before the golden wedding bells
began to toll.
I next chinned with a man who
had been hanging on to the same,
aprong strings for 51 years, and is
still at it',. which shows he's
a hound for endurance and
I asked him what he diad to say
about Love. "When male
and female can hit it off together
for more' than half a century," he
said, "without pulling hair, pluck-
ing eyeballs or barking shins, that
must be Love." I thought
that was a- fine expression .

If You Don't Get Your
Star Now, See Drake
During the almost ten years
The Star has been published, the
names of subscribers have been
.placed on the papers with a small
label stuck on by a machine, and
possibly, at times, that label has
come off and the subscriber con-
sequently failed to get the paper.
It could have been that, or it
could have been that the paper
was accidentally placed in the
wrong box at the postoffice. We
never quibbled when a subscriber
came in and said he hadn't re-
ceived his paper-we just gave
him another.
But now them days is gone for-
ever, for, as you may have no-
ticed last week, the names of our
subscribers are STAMPED DI-
RECTLY ON THE PAPER.
So now, if you don't get your
Star, don't come bellyaching to
4us (unless youq happen to know
that your subscription -has ex-
'pired), but go to Postmaster H.
'A. Drake and complain.
! We've managed to bear up un-
der the strain for JO years, now
H. A. can have it for the next 10.

This bill is now pending before the
committee on constitutional amend-
meats.
My .bill, 139, which reinstatedd the
county commissioners' salaries to
$50 a mon4'h, became law Monday.
Monday the house resolved itself
into a committee of a whole. and
heard Reps. Odham and Camup ac-
cuse Rep. Bernie C. Papy of Key
West of offering them bribes to
vote against the bookie bill. The
house passed a resolution request-
ing the statd attorney and grand
jury of Leon county *tb immedi-
ately investigate, these charges. If
the Leon grand jury indites Papy,
he will be immediately expelled
from the house and stand trial on
a criminal offense.
The house also validated the
$19,000,000 building contracts the
governor hadi let, but removed the
power from him ,to transfer any
more. money into the building fund
and let no more contracts.

Well Known Man Felt
Like Swollen Balloon;
Full of Stomach Gas
Recently a well known man stat-
ed that he used' ito feel like a
swollen balloon after every meal.
He would bloat full of gas and split'
up acidulous liquids for hours af-
ter eating. Was terribly cous-ti-
pated. This man is one of the hun-
dre'ds in this vicinity who now
praise I.NINER-AID. He states he
was amazed, at the results when h-e.
took this medicine. Now he eats
what he wants without gas or
bloating, and bowels are regular for
the first time in years. He feels
like a new man.
INNER-AID contains 12 Great
Herbs; they cleanse bowels, clear
gas from stomach, act on sluggish
liver and' kidneys. Miserable peo-
Dle soon feel different all over.
So don'il .go on' suffering! Get
INNERR-AIiD. Sold by all drug
stores. adv. 4

At least one man: has died from
a typographical error, Carlo Ales-
sandro Guidi, Italian lyric poet, was
on his way to present a poem to
Pope Clement XI when" he found a
serious typographical error. The
poet took it so much to heart that
he was seized with an apoplectic
fit and died.
