YE ED DINES ON TURTLE
EGGS FOR FIRST TIME
The editor of The Star had never
had the pleasure of dining off turtle
eggs until yesterday; morning when
our wife scrambled some for our
breakfast. We can't say that we
are' crazy about them, they having
a slight fishy flavor to us, nor are
they too bad..
A dozen of the leathery-shelled
eggs were presented to us by Ro-
land Mahoin: as, the result of 'an egg
hunt Tue-sday night conducted on
the outside beach south of town by
Mrs. Roland. Mahon, Augie Mahon
and Miss Verna Mahon of this city
and Dick Feeser of York, Pa., a
visitor in our fair city. The party
came back with 135 eggs, Which
they distributed among their many
friends.

As The Star went to press yes-

tors wi-re still seeking desperately
-or funds to finance the broad pro-
gram they have authorized as the
last hour of the 1947 session drew
rapidly near.
'Governor Caldwell personally ap-
peared before the house and s'en-
ate Mondaiy and read figures to
show they have authorized general
fund expenditures of $179,747,352,
against anticipated receipts of
$154,934,553 for the next two years.
Insisting again that a $10,000,000
cushion be set up against declines
in revenue for an operating re-

going to finance its "efforts to

Flashes From the

Legislature!
By REP. GEORGE TAPPER

House. Bill 549, which would cre-
ate a purchasing agent for the
state, was indefinitely postponed
by the house.
The house passed my constitu-
tional amendment creating the
39th senatorial district of Monroe
county and the 40th senatorial dis-
trict ou-t of Bay and Washington
counties. This will leave Gulf and
Calhoun counties in the 25th dis-
trict. The bill is now pending be-
fore the senate.
The. house passed muy three local
bills, one which gives the city au-
thorities of Port St. Joe power to
levy a one-cent per gallon gasoline
tax, another setting up a fire dis-
trict for territory adjacent to Port
St. Joe, and another. setting up
rules and regulations on the tak-
ing of shrimp and oysters in Gulf
county..
The governor came before a
joint session of the house and sen-
ate and told us that we needed
$34,000,000 in additional revenue
and asked' that we. enact tax meas-
ures to take care of it. After In-
vestigation on the part of the house
we are of the opinion that we do
not need to levy any additional
taxes, as we fe.l the present reve-
nue is sufficient to take care of
,our schools and other important
appropriations which we have
passed. I, therefore, do not believe
that any additional taxes will be
passed at this session.

THE FORCES OF FREEDOM
It is estimated that there are more men un-
der arms now than shortly before World War
II. Save in the western hemisphere, there is
no real peace anywhere on earth. Violence,
disorder, oppresson-these are the symbols
of the postwar world. And, as inevitably oc-
curs in an age of suspicion and unrest, the
liberties of peoples everywhere are being lim-
ited and destroyed.
The position of the United/States in this
dark and dangerous time is clear. We, with a
handful of allies, none of whom are eco-
nomically or militarily powerful, are the last
citadel of individual freedom. With few ex-
ceptions, the English-speaking world alone
still maintains and respects the basic rights
of man-and even in. that world there are


STARDUST and

MOONSHINE

We are in receipt-of a copy of
a bill to be introduced in the legis-
lature by Rep. Crews of Duval, a
member of the livestock conailt-
tee, -which should be of interest to
every citizen of Florida. It Is aas
follows:
A Bill To Be Entitled
AN ACT TO PROHIBIT AIR-
PLAiNES TJiSING TOILETS
WHICH FLUSH
Whereas, Airpilanmes. have become
so numerous in the air over Flor-
ida and particularly adjacent to
the .many air bases and airports
as. to become a hazard to persons
on the ground; and,
Whereas, It is not the jet-propel-
ling nor the motor-propeDlling, but
the teilet-expelling which consti-
tute said hazard; and,
Whereas, It will soon become
necessary for ladies to use their
umbrellas in their own back yards
while taking a sun bath unless
said evil is regulated and pro-
hihbited; and,
Whereas, If cows could- fly this
legislature would immediately pass
remedial and prohibitive legislation
to keep cows out of the 'air in'
s-pit. of and notwithstanding the;
commit-tee on livestock;
Therefore, Be It Enacted By the
Legislature of the State of Florida:
Section 1. That all airplanes
flying over the lands of the State
of Florida -be and they are hereby
prohibited from using toilets which
flush in the air.
Section 2. That anyone violat-
ing the provisions of this act shall,
in addition to repairing the damage
below, have, his license and right
to -flush revoked.
Section 3. All laws in conflict
herewith are hereby repealed.
Section 4. This act shall take.
effect immediately upon the rirst
flush.
With so many lastmin-ute bills
coming u-p this week as the legis-
la-tive session nears its- close, we
don't know whether it will hbs

ominous signs of weakening. The American
government, in its dealing with the other
powers, is the leader of the forces of freedom
against the forces of darkness and the total
state.
The duty of the United States is equally
clear. To put it in a phrase, this duty is to
maintain our strength. And strength can be di-
vided into two different and distinct classifi-
cations. There is military strength the
strength of force. Much as Americans hate
war and thought of war, we must maintain
this, in the interest of self-preservation.
Second and still more vital, there is the kind
of inner strength which only a free people can
possess. This is the heart and soul of a nation
and its institutions. It is a nation's greatest
resource in time of trial. And it rests upon
the proposition that the rights of thie indi-
vidual are inviolate. So long as we have this,
we shall be ready to meet whatever the com-
ing years bring.

Fifty years ago a woman couldn't buy beauty
in a beauty parlor, so she had to do the best
she could to catch a man.

For every successful man you meet you. will
meet a dozen unsuccessful ones who claim to
have given him a start.

We understand a local woman had her face
lifted by a plastic surgeon, and when she re-
ceived his bill her face fell again.

Don't expect a fancy price for doing your
plain duty.

Keep smiling-and buy U S Savings Bonds.

Both Houses Enact
Wider Bribery Law

The legislature Monday passed
and sent to the governor a bill mak-
ing it a criminal offense to attempt
to bribe legislative attaches and
candidates, as well' as members.
The measure wais recommended
by a special Leon county grand
jury that .indicted Rep. Bernie C.
Papy of IKiey West for offering cash
bribes to Reps. Odham of Sanford
and Camp of Ocala.
The, jury said Speaker Thomas.
D. Beasley testified he had been
offered $5000 in 1945 to appoint
Papy chairman of the house public
amusements committee..
The jury said. neither of these
attempts was a violation of Flor-
ida's bribery law and reconmmnende4
the legislature broaden the law to
cover such acts.
This law would make it unlawful
to offer "anything of value" to any
employee of the legislature, or to
any candidate "or prospective can-
didate" to influence his "act, vote,
opinion or judgment."

"We have for weeks known ap-

DEAR SHOPPERS: We've tried to manage this store
This column, is being written in this week along with double duty


advance, since the writer plans to
be in the mountains of North Car-
olina when The Star does its shin-
ing this wee.k. We haven't pegged
a thing to write about and looks
like we'll have to put a dot here
(.) and a dash there (-), give
it a lick and a promise to keep
"The Tattler's'" unbroken record.
So far our attendance chart shows
100 per cent, and seven more; is-
sues will round, out a full year, or
52 weeks! We could resort to Ed-
itor Smith's idea of digging up an
old' column to use, which wasn't
bad at all. However, we have so
much more to write about now
than we did a year ago it should
not be necessary. For .instance-
a nice shipment of Birdseye and
Curity diapers showed. up today
that'll soon be making mothers
happy and baby cozy and! comfort-
able. We have PercaleSheets
for baby's bed! Isn't that news?
Who' deserves Percale Sheets more
than that boy. or girl who might
be a president or- a first lady o'ne
of these days? In this same ship-
ment came King Cotton Fruit of
the Loom white panties up to size
12 for girls. We must mention an-
other news item of national sig-
nificance, namely: HANES NY-
LON NUDES, 20 denier, 51-gauge
perfect quality now $1.50 (were
$1.75). A 60-day allotment just in
(doubt if they'll be- here half that
,time). "Nature gave you seamless
legs Hanes gives you seam-
less nylons." (Looks like they've
got something there! Rinse them
in cold water wear them

Another item
and looking for
Drake's postof-


fice (better change that, editor, to
U. S. Postoffice-musta had' H. A.
on my mind!) today those
wvond'erful "LOVABLE BRASS-
IERES"' that really put us in the
brassiere business by making a lot
of happy, satisfied customers. It's
not necessary to mention Jonathan
Logan and Junior First Dresses.
S. they do their own talking
. and' walking out!

Overheard Editor Smith say that
he would have left "The. Tattler"
out last week in order to give more
space to that 12-inning ball game
between the unbeatable Saints and
Panama had it not already been
printed.! A display of real sports-
manship we call it! Just put
it in this column, editor, we'll send
you a check for it! How's that?
(We might take you up on that;
Glenn, and would you be sur-
prised!-Ed.)

Men, we're on the beam with
Summer Trousers and Slacks. Happ
Slacks, made "Way down in Dixie"
in that great old state of Georgia,
are making headlines and waist
lines! Fit Right, color Right, cool
as a cucumber, and' the price is
Right! Try them!


at home in the capacity of mom
and pop! Don't believe we would
have made the grade, without a
good c'omforta' ble pair of RAND
shoes and a VAN HEUiSEN bow
tie -from Boyles Department Store,!
Every time we get a new bow tie
someone takes it away from us' at
'Carver's. Those easy, ready-tied ,
clip-on bows save at least two min-
utes in the mornings. Rand
shoes keep you stepping firm and
fast the whole day long. Men,
. two things to remember!

A mail order from South Florida
for, one of those roomy, handy
Locker Trunks, which leaves us
about two. Will you need '
one this summer?

Bright, colorful, home loving
ladies you'll find several
ne.w patterns in drapery and slip-
cover fabrics t'hat'll keep summer
right in your living room or bed-
room. Tasteful, floral patterns in
-blue. rose and green the. Big
Three only 98c yard.

Looking over the balcony we see
do-zens and dozens of new cotton
frocks that look too good to call
"house dresses." They're labeled
"Cloth of Gold" regular
weight and SHEER PRINTS at
three hard-to-belive prices .
$2.95, $3.50 and $3.95; sizes 9 to
44. Included' in this unusual group
are. brunch coats, slender maternity
dresses and smart street styles
(you can wear 'em in the kitchen).
Don't believe there's a sticker in
the lot, 'for every pattern is neat
and attractive. Choose from light
or dark colors buy them by
the twos, threes or 'fours. They
started selling before we got 'em
hung, and you'd better not 'wait!
thissis a tip right from head-
quarters of Quality Reaidy-to-Wear
at prices we can afford to pay
(Note that "we," for we's got to
buy 'em, too.)

One customer stopped in for a
'wash cloth went out with
an armful of lovely Curtains .. '
beauty, quality and price that she
could not resist. Let us show you
these window wonders and let you
guess the price! You'll really ,be
surprised!

Customers, it's a long, long
story we could go on and
on, but time and space
are running low this time. Next
time. this coumitry-bred mountain-
eer hopes to bring you news brim-
ming with brand new "Tips From
Across Our Counter" inspired by
a trip and a look at old Skull Cap
Mountain, N. C. In days gone by
it was our timepiece, for the 'sun
dropped behind it each day .
a 'welcome and beautiful sight
. it was time to quit plowing!
Yours longing for the sign

Apples Long Appreciated
Apparently mankind appreciated
the worth of the apple long before
science had a chance to delve into
its virtues. History tells us that
Alexander the Great had a standing
rule that apples must be served
with each meal.

and Henry Geddie had better watch
their P's and Q's, not to mention
their flushes, while flying over
Port St. Joe in their powered box-
kites.

'Bill Ebers*ole dropped in at The
Star office Saturday to have his
paper sent to Macon, wh,'re he is
going at the request of Capt. Kidd
to work on the new krart mili go-
ing up there. "You know,, Smitty,"
he said, "I sure hate to leave Port
St. Joe. I've bec.n here ten years
and I've made" more friends than
I've ever had in' my life." .
We didn't ask him, but we assume
that he came from a large city
where you can live for years and
never get to know your next-door
neighbor. Anyway, we told
him that was because he was a
likeable cuss and also the fact that
he came to St. Joe when it was
merely a wide place in the road
arid as the population increased he
naturally got to know everybody.
We also told him that he needn't
feel so bad, as he'd ibe back here
before long.

"Doc" Carver blew into town
Sunday from Live. Oak, where he
has been loafing for the past two
years .after selling his drug store.
We don't think it was just a "hap-
penstance" that he arrived on that
particular day, for he gets The
Star every week and he knew that
the fishing ss-ason opened' Sunday
and that St. Joe had' a big ball
game on with Wewahitchka, which
he attended. Bet Doc hardly
knew the old town, it has built up


~L4ke sunset splendors o'er
the sea,
Like sea birds sunlit as they
roam."

beautiful-sympathetic under-

HIerring. Hannon and Mitchell ad-
vanced on a passed ball by the
catcher, Leonard Belin socked out
a two,bagger to drive, in Hannon,
with Mitchell caught at third for
the first out. Walters struck out
and' Weeks retired the, side as he
was out at first oan an infield hit.
The 'Gatorsi chalked up their fi-
nal run in this frame on two one-
base. hits, an overthrow to third
from center field by Hannon and a
throw to second by Cox, the run-
ner coming in from third on the
play. The side was retired on a
nice throw to home by Weeks in
left field to catch a sprinting 'Ga-
tor and the last man up being put
out on an infield: hit, Belin to Mc-
Call.
The game was further clinched
in the eighth as Hannon got on
with a bingle over second, Mitchell
was safe on a sacrifice. as' the
catcher took the ball and threw
wildly to first, Hannon going to
third. Belin hit safely to third, hut
the play was nade for Hannon, and
he was out at the plate. Walters
-hit his second two-bagger, but was
called out for not touching the
first sack, Mitchell coming home.
Weeks hit. to center to drive in Be-
lin a.nd the side. was retired a's
Cox hit into a double and Weeks
vwas out at second.
Neither team scored in the ninth
and the game ended as A'dams
popped out to Belin' amid a mighty
roar from the assembled fans.

WEDNESDAY'S GAME
In the return game with Wewa-
hitchka played hene. Wednesday af-
ternoon the Saints had. little diffi-
culty taking the 'Gators into camp
to the tune of 10 to 2, with Leonard
Belin accounting for six of the tal-
lies with two homers. Chap Mil-
lergren of Wewa was also credited
with a circuit clout in the first
inning.
The. tilt was so one-sided that
there really isn't much necessity
of giving a play-by-play account.
Millergren's homer in the first ae-
counted for half of the' Gator final
score, and St. Joe also made one
counter in that frame when Burke
was handed' a walk by Jenks, Han-
non hit into a double play', Burke
being caught at second, 'but Han.
non going to the key sack on an
overthrow to first by short; Tom
Mitchell clouted out a two-bagger
to .center, driving in Hannon, Belin
was deliberately walked and .Cox
hit into a double to retire, the side.
The usual big inning for St. Joe
came in the second when Herring
walked, McCall got a two-bagger,
as did David Hinote to drive in
Herring and McCall, Jimmy Adlams
(not Ace) almost put one over the
left fiisld' fence for two bases, driv-
ing in Hinote and causing Jenks
to leave' the mound in despair. The
relief pitcher (we couldn't get his
name) let Adams go to third, on a
wild pitch, Burke was out on a. fly
to left, Hannon and Mitchell werae
