HELP KEEP THE SAINTS ON TOP! Attend Every Game! ..- 4 THHE STAR The Home Newspaper of Northwest Florida's Future Industrial Center OFFICIAL NEWSPAPER I OF GULF COUNTY I a VOLUME X PORT ST. JOE, FLORIDA, FRIDAY, JUNE 27, 1947 NUMBER 39 Deer Hunting Season Set For Nov. 0 To Jan. 5 Commission Also Sets Dates For Quail, Squirrel; Government To Set Date On Ducks, Geese A state-wide uniform deer sea- son from November 20 to January 5 was adopted Monday by the state game and fresh water fish commis- sion for the 1947-48 season. How- ever, the days of the week on which hunting will be allowed will vary with the five conservation districts. Hunting, in the third district (in which Gulf county is located) will be allowed every day in the week; the second and tifth districts' will prohibit hunting on Mondays, Wed- nesdays' and Fridays, while' the first and fourth districts will pro- hibit hunting on, Mondays, Tues- 'days and Wednesdays. The fifth, or central Florida district, how- ever, will allow consecutive hunt- ing the first six days of the season. The season on turkey is. the same as. for deer in the first, sec- ond and fourth districts, November 20 to January 5, and from Novem- ber 20 to February 1 in the third and fifth districts. Quail and squirrel may be killed from November 20 to February 1 in the first, second, fourth ana fifth districts, and from November 20 'to February 15 in the. third. The commission will recommend that 'the federal, government set February 'r.r as- t clctoshig date, for dove, with the opening date - fixed as. early as possible. The sea- son on duck and geese also will be set by the federal government, but hunting will be allowed every day in all districts during the season on these fowl. The staggered or alternate, days in which deer may be killed in the various districts apply to all game except duck and geese. 'During the session of the com- mission at Tallahassee, representa- tives of the Florida Wildlife Fed- eration and other sportsmen's or- ganizations urged adoption of uni-.. form state'-wide laws for all game and fish. The commission chairman said "all the districts want a uniforin law, but th-ey want the other dis- tricts to accept their law." 'He added that because of local condi- tions, it is impossible to have a uni- form law until the people them- selves want it. ----K -- Called To Georgia By Illness Mr. and Mrs. George W.

Apalachicolan Meets Captain of Sub That Sank Tanker Of f Cape According to a story in the Ap- alachicola Times, 1st Lieut. Harry A. Buzzett of that city, who just recently returned from Germany, while in Berlin ran into the captain of the submarine that sank the large British tanker in July 1942 about 15 miles off Cape San Blas. The Times quotes Buzzett as follows: "While riding down Potsd'amer Strasse two hours before I left Ber- lin, I stopped to inquire -of a Ger- man where Kaiserallee was .lo- cated. When he answered me in perfect English, I asked where, he had learned to speak it, and nim reply was, 'In a prison camp in America.' "While conversing with him fur- ther, he told me that during the war he was a submarine com- nender operating in the. Gulf of Mexic,o and the Caribbean Sea. "I asked him it he knew where Apalachicola was located and he replied. "Why, certainly,' and took me& into a bookstore and 'pinpointed the location on a globe. Next I asked him if he ever did any work around home, and he described the British tanker ,sunk near here by name, class, weight, number and exact location, including the (G'at. that he sunk her. "He stated also that after he 'sunk the ship he'proceeded up to the six-mile bridge and submergedt for 'two days, and that he slipped out during the night,. "Captain -Joparinfl ---Segree and Dick Heyser state that the bay will not float a submarine. Whether he did come into the bay or s-ot, we will never know, but it is an estab- lishied fact that 'he did sink the English tanker. ."He also stated that he had often looked at Apalachicola through his periscope, describing to me the water tower, church steeples and 'other prominent features of our town.', Fiddler's Convention Is Scheduled For July 4 Plans are well under way for an old-time fiddler's convention to oe held, the night of July 4 at the Cen- tennial Auditorium under sponsor- ship of Willis V.

Our Country Right or Wrong SPENDING BOOM SLOWING DOWN We don't believe it will come as a shock to readers of The Star to be told that the great postwar spending boom is but a shadow of its. former lusty self. It has tapered off in all lines, and in some fields it has practically come to a halt. Many of the present speculations of economists deal with the question of whether we are approaching a depression or a reces- sion (the latter is a sort of midget or pocket- size depression). Opinion on this varies from the optimists who think, business and employ- ment will hold at high levels to the pessimists who forecast darkly that what is coming will make the '30s look like giddy prosperity. Regardless of the guesswork, some of the economic facts are worth- looking at. The na- tion's families are going back to the good old custom of living off next week's paycheck, which means that the cash buyer is becoming harder and harder to find. In other words, folks are returning to the.dollar-down-and- dollar-when-you-catch-me system of buying what they want, and as is to be expected un- der these conditions, savings are dwindling, The volume o'f business is showing signs,.;f suffering" from these trends, and as is to be expected, businesses of the luxury character have been hit hardest so far. And now semi- luxuries are facing a steady drop in buying. In more staple lines, business is still good, but there are clouds on the horizon. Produc- tiqn is rapidly making up the backlog in the majority of lines, and has more than caught up in some. Retailers are buying much more carefully than in the past. Inventories are growing rapidly in both wholesale warehouses and on the shelves of stores. In fact, some local merchants are becoming overstocked we believe, for looking at last week's Star we find the'Gulf Hardware & Supply Company, Boyles Department Store and the St. Joe Sup- ply Company offering big reductions on many .articles. Once hard-to-get items (men's shirts and nylon stockings are good examples) are niow in almost superabundance. The building boom, counted on to take up the reconversion slack, has failed to live up to expectations. This was one of the great fi- ascos of the postwar economy. The experts confidently figured that millions of homes and other residential units, to say nothing of a vast amount of industrial construction, would be needed. It may still be needed-but people just won't pay the current prices if there is any way to avoid it. There has been consider- able business construction in Port St. Joe and some residential construction, but all of those who have built or are building today admit that their costs have been about twice what they should be. Some producers, such as the motorcar coil- panies, still have big backlogs of orders, and 'sales are no problem. But that doesn't mean that everything is rosy. Manufacturers and dealers are definitely worried as to what will happen once the backlog is wipe out. Many a prospective buyer, including the editor of The' Star, has shaken his head at, sight of the price tags on the new cars, and orders have been cancelled right and left, even as Otto Anderson and C..A. McGowin can testify. What it all adds up to is that the basic cost of just plain living is absorbing most of-the average family's income, and it has less and less left for other things. That is the growing problem we have not yet .been able to solve. OUR NAVAL RESERVE UNIT IS BORN The editor of The Star at every available opportunity has been talking and writing about securing a naval reserve unit for Port St. Joe, and has been working with Tom Coldewey, Vic Anderson and the district recruiting offi- cer toward that end. And last; night our dream was. realized when a number of young men were sworn, into the reserve and our local unit was born. The'naval reserve provides an opportunity to eligible men between the ages of 17 and 39 to perform a distinct and essential service to their country-and to become proficient in skills which are of value to them in civilian pursuitss. .. Reserve instruction involves spare time courses not only in the milit-Ir sciences, but in a long list-of technical subjects and trades. Recreational activities are regularly sched- uiled by reserve units, and those on the coasts of the nation are assigned navy ships for short, ,training cruises in local waters. We earnestly urge every young man in Port St. Joe to consider joining onu local unit since th'e reserve offers its members a splendid op- porttunity to serve both the nation and them- selves. War veterans will be given the grades they held when on active service.
