HELP KEEP THE SAINTS ON TOP! Attend Every Game! L -,, < THE STAR The Home Newspaper of Northwest Florida's Future Industrial Center I OFFICIAL NEWSPAPER OF GULF COUNTY .! VOLUME X PORT ST. JOE, FLORIDA, FRIDAY, AUGUST 1, 1947 NUMBER 44 WATER FILTER PLANT WILL BE OF LATEST TYPE Will Remove Impurities With out Use of Chlorine or Other Chemicals Tests of the city water supply have been completed by the Layne Central Company, which concern will install the water filtering sys tern, and the pilot plant which had been in operation for some time Iha-s been removed. A portion of the necessary equipment is already or hand and' the company states thai they hope to have the plant fun. tioning about the middle of Sep tember, barring strikes. The Layne iron removal unit to be used in the water filtering plant is a three-compartment tank in which the water from the city's wells will be treated, under pres- sure and without exposure, for the removal of its iron content at the rate of 300 gallons per minute, or a total of better than 400,000 gallons in a. 24,haur day. The -unit is equipped with spe- ,cially 'built air compressors thai 'provide filtered air free from oil or impurities under control and ap- plied in a regulated stream just sufficient for use of the unit. Con- trol of the air results in an oxygen content .of the water following treatment of not more than 50 per cent saturation., and an effluent less a'ggi'es give in character than the applied raw water. The unit will be 10 feet in di- ameter and about 16 feet high, con- structed of %-inch steel side walls and %--inch head. Total weight will tbe about 17,000 pounds. The upper portion of this large cylinder is .the areation chamn'be and contains a layer of Montana lava 48 inches deep. The raw water enters. the top of the cylinder and compressed air is forced up from below, the air oxidizing the iron in the water is it flows over the lava. After the water passes through the top unit, it enters, a filter in the lower section, which is made uip of'a 50-50 mixture of Cape May sand, and calcite which contains about 98 per cent pure calcium car- bonate. Facilities are provided for washing the lava and the filter unit to remove the collected, iron oxide, this operation being necessary ap- proximately every three days. No chlorine is used in the plant at all. Local Boy Scout Troop Will Spend Week At Camp Weed Scoutmaster J. T.

BY CITY DADS Commissioner Sharit Turns Thumbs Down On Propo- sition As Submitted At a meeting of the board of city comnrissioners held, Wednesday af- ternoon at the city hall with rep- resentatives of the Thornton Mohr Company of Montgomery, Ala., and Stu'lbbs', Smith and Lomibardo of Birmingham, investment bankers, called to discuss the matter of re- ,financing the city's bonded indebt- edness, no action was taken due to t the fact that precedent on such matters calls for a unanimous vote of the board', and' Commissioner Joe o Sharit was opposed to refunding at the present time and Commssioner J. R. Chestnut was out of town. The plan as submitted by the banking house representatives was set urp to cut down interest charges from 41/ to 31/2% oh the water and - sewer bonds and to 2%% on the a dredging bonds and allowing a longer period in which to pay off the water and sewer' revenue deben- tures. It was pointed' out ,by Lomrbardo that under the refinancing plan the present 7. mills assessed for paying off the dredging bonds could be cut right away'to 6 mills, and later lowered again as the bonds were tak up, since the new issue- would' be callable at any time while the present .bonds are non-callable. -In regard to the water and sewer bonds, Lonmbardo stated that the present situation is very bad, 'since $225,000 was borrowed in 1937 for the water and! sewer system and that today, with delinquent inter- est, the city still owes in the neighborhood of $210,000. and if it should so happen that the bonds changed, hands (the duPont inter- ests hold the present bonds) the city-might be in a bad way. After some two hours devoted to presentation of the plan and dis- cus'sion of the various ramifica- tions. Mayor Soule, after-stating that in his opinion there wduld be a considerable saving to the city over a period of years on the lower interest rates' and lowered pay- ments on the principal and that he believed the city's credit would be eaihanced greatly if it got on a cur- rent -basis and met bills as they came due, asked if the proposals as presented" were acceptable to the commission.

Exhibition Tilt Monday Is Slow, Insipid Affair The exhibition game played here Monday between the Port St. Joe and Miss'issippi-Apalachicola teams was a long-drawn-out affair last- ing three hours that was of little inte'es-t to the spiectatoi...sihnce it was .so one-sided, the Mississippi State College -boys running rings around our sand-lot players, the final score being 16 to 2. Terry Hinote started' on the mound for the Saints. and while he gave up no hits, retired. in favor 0i Robbins in the second. Robbins allowed two runs in the third and four in the fifth. Gene Elliott took the mound in the sixth, but after lie had given up two hits and gave four walks for three runs, Bert Cox, catching, swapped- places with him and, finished' the game, allowing the visitors fiye more runs in the re- ilmaling innings. WE'RE SMACKIN' OUR LIPS OVER CHOICE MAPLE SYRUP If you notice the editor's already ample girth increasing in the next week or so, you can blame it on B. B. Conklin, for upon his return from a vacation spent in Vermont he brought us in a pint of real, lion- est to gosh .maple syrup, the likes of which we haven't tasted since 'way back in '3.2. B. 1. was visiting his son, Albert E. Conklin at Wood-stock,, Vt., and that gentleman is the maker of the delicious pancake smotherer. Inci- dentally, B. B. said he just about froze to death in the northern clime, and had' to sleep under a couple of quilts and two heavy blanket's.

Voters Will Cast Ballots For Mayor and Four Members of City Commission On Tuesday, September 2, the voters of Port St. Joe will trek to the polls and cast their ballots for four city commissioners- and a mayor under the new city charter 'promulgated by the Junior Cham- ;ber of Commerce and approved at the recent legislative session. The commissioners will run in .iour groups, 'with all five being voted upon at large. The mayor and the commissioners in groups I andi 2 will be elected for terms of Swo years, and the com-missioners in groups 3 and 4 will be named for terms of one year, and, there- after the 'terms of all will, be for two years with an election held every year. As of Wednesday, B. B. Conklin was the only candidate to file for the commission race, he having placed his name in group 1. A poll of other mem-bers of the. commission as to whether or not they would seek ,re-election brought the following results: 'Horace Soule: "I haven't made up my mind one way or the other." J. L. Sharit: "You may quote me as saying that I haven't fully made up my mind." Mrs. R. R. Minus: "I definitely will not seek rie-election. While I feel I have served the people well, and quite a number have asked me to run for re-election, I am in busi- ness now and would not have the, time to devote to city affairs and give them the proper attention." J. R. Chestnut was out of town and could not be contacted for a statement. There is little talk on the streets in regard to the election and the usual rumors as to who is coming out are lacking. A section 'found in the new char- ter, not appearing in the old char- ter, provides that a petition may be circulated foir recall of the mayor or commissioners, and also pro- vides for the calling of a recall -election if a sufficient xnrmber of the registered voters of the city (20 per cent) express- their desire for such action.

I think as a business man i if I were in the shape the city is, I would be in fa- vor of 'some such plan, and I be- lieve the holders of the bonds would like to see the city benefit from such a procedure and get on 4 a current basis." A Sharit: "I thought these men came here merely to give us a con- a create proposal and not to ask for a contract." ,Soule: "I feel that the commis- sion should not use the proposition of these gentlemen as a wedge or a I lever with some other interests to 4 secure a similar or somewhat lower rate, and I don't think the city should antagonize the present boni holders, as they have treated s i in a manner that we had no right to expect under the circumstances. However, I do feel that the cit should get its finances set up prop- erly and get on a current basis, as we have had defaulted bonds, for , the past five or six years. I know you gentlemen have spent a lot ol time on this and I feel that we should give you some considera- tion." Thornton, Jr.: "If we are invited hack we hope to present you the sare proposition, but we cannot guarantee it." Oity Attorney Lewis: "I suggest that The Star keep these figures out of the paper and that we ask other bond concerns to submit bids on refinancing." Thornton, Sr.: "Personally, I don't think we would be interested further in Port St. Joe, but if you consider refunding, get all the bond dealers in Florida to submit propo- sitions, not just one concern, and you will find that you cannot better our ofLer.'' ,Soule: "We're just arguing back and forth, and this could go on until midnight. The precedent on such matters has been a unanimous vote. and with one commissioner in Jacksonville and ri'. Sharit op- posedt to the proposition we can do nothing. I.suggest that the com- mission pass up, this opportunity and perhaps at some future date give these gentlemen an opportun- ity to send us sealed bids. I am sorry you gentlemen calle, nre., 'inder these circumstances, and I apologize." The meeting broke u.p at this point with the suggestion being made by. Attorney Lewis that at the next regular meeting of the commission sealed bids be asked from bond houses throughout this section.

Our Country -_ Right or Wrong S..STILL SEARCHING FOR THE CURE Not long ago tuberculosis victims all over the world seized upon word of the new drug, streptomycin, believing that a quick end to their illness was at hand. But streptomycin is not a "cure-all" for tu- berculosis. A few have been made well, but thousands upon thousands have been disap- pointed in their hopes for a quick cure. The "miracle drug," streptomycin, does not sub- stitute for a single present form of tuberculo- sis treatment. Reason for this is that strepto- mycin is helpful in only a few of the many linds of tuberculosis, and often, even in these kinds, helpful to only a limited extent. Thie notable exceptions in which streptomy- cin has fulfilled its early expectations are mili- ary tuberculosis and tuberculosis meningitis, \ the most important causes of tuberculosis in children. These two forms, usually 100 per cent fatal, have been checked in almost half the cases where streptomycin was used. However, these two types are relatively rare. The great majority of cases are pulmo- nary, or lung, tuberculosis, and streptomycin does not cure these people. It helps stop the spread of the disease in the lungs, but.only temporarily; it can be used to check the wild- fire spread of the TB gerins following chest surgery, but in a few .months the germs be- come resistant to streptomycin and the drug is no1 longer of use. --.... Today throughout the United States experi- nments are being .carried forward with strep- tomycin. Scientists'and doctors are trying des- perately to change or adapt it so that it will lead the way to a quick and permanent cure for tuberculosis, a contagious disease which kills tens of thousands annually. But the "cure" has not yet been found. Nobody would mind so much why girls leave home if only they would inake an effort to get back a little earlier. Travel broadens .some, and some can't con- trol their appetite. The Low Down from Willis Swamp Editor The Star: When I wuz in your city recent- like, I run into my friend S. L. Barke--S. L., you know, sorta helps run a ibank-and he sez to me. Josephus, he sez, you believe in private enterprise and you scribble on same kinda frequent, why not tell the folks how the private en- terprise system and the "profit an' loss" sys'teenf'is the same? They ain't nothing' free .about free enter- prise, he sez, 'cept the right to try your skill at something' you think you kin make a go of-and if you wanta 'work a leetle harder, you gotta chance to profit, also you gotta chance to lose. Bear down kinda heavy on that, he sez, that you gobta chance to lose. I also went around and visited a telleyphone feller by the name o'2 Sharit, and we sorta drifted onto PROBABLY NO LEAGUE NEXT YEAR It seems to be the general opinion that when .attempts are made next year to organize a Gulf Coast B.aseball League that there will be little or no interest taken in it due to the fact that some teams in the present organization have resorted to hiring players from outside, one in particular having secured the services of some eight college players. Of course we don't have to come right :-'t and say to whom we are referring, for every- one knows. What we can't understand is what pleasure supporting fans get out of watching a bunch of hired players play ball. We know that should Port St. Joe import a team from outside to represent this city, we personally wouldn't Ceven lbe sufficiently interested to go to the ball park when they played at home, for the biggest kick we get out of watching the games, win, lose or draw, is the fact that we know each player personally and know that they take pride in being a member of the "home team." We would rather see Port St. Joe in the cellar position rather than have our team managers hire "foreigners." We understand that Blountstown would like to get back in the Gulf Coast League, and if such is the ,case, it might be a good idea next year to eliminate the team that this year is made up of outside players. THAT VICIOUS SPIRAL .We note an article in' last Saturday's pa- pers stating that "the steel price front cracked wide open today and "raised the threat of higher consumer prices for steel products from ,hairpins to automobiles. Advanced prices were posted by a number of steel companies in the face of pleas by President Truman that the steel arid other industries use extreme care in making any price increases and forego tlhni if possible. Most of the companies cited higher coal prices,, soaring steel scrap quotations and expanded labor costs as forcing the increases in order to maintain profitable operations." *So here we go again. I 1abor gets a raise, the manufacturer has to tidd the extra wages to his finished product, which cost is passed *on to the buyer. The laborer finds that his wage boost has done, him no good, sine, the cost of the things he buys has gone up. So he strikes for another raise, which the manufac- turer adds to the cost of his product, and again the laborer finds his living costs going up, so he strikes agaih for more wages-and so on, in a. vicious spiral that eventually will result in economic chaos. When dizzier ideas for solving most every problem are, evolved, you may look confidently for them toward any section of the good old U. S. A.

The Chicago Heart Association invited the men to lunch.'at the Union League Club. They ate heartily and laughed at a joke or two. And then a doctor showed the hard-working executives what can ha-ppen to an overworked heart. Four human hearts were displayed in large bottles, in what the as- sociation said was the first exhibit of its kind ever held. One. was a normal heart, about the size of a man's fist. One was a gnarled heart, which had swelled to about twice the normal size. It belonged to a hot- tempered newspaper executive who had a stroke while arguing with an assistant. Another distorted heart wa's that of a department store executive who wouldn't slow down when the doctor told him to. It had puffed like a toy ,balloon. The last was the heart of a man who had followed the doctor's or- ders. He had a heart attack when he was 65. His physician told him to relax, so he started enjoying life. He wass 80 when he died in his sleep. The department 'store executive was 70. The newspaper- man was only 58. The doctor said one out of every two of the nation's doctors, execu- tives,, lawyers and newspapermen die of hi g h blood pressure or hardening of the arteries. One out of every three persons in the entire nation dies of these two afflictions or rheumatic fever. hli said. Mr. and Mrs. Bob Ferrell of West Palm Beach were week-end guests of the former's brother and' family, Mr. and Mrs. Joe Johnson. leans Every ads carries a message- a student a message that will save money. , New Or- sday for a NOTICE OF REGULAR er parents, MUNICIPAL ELECTION Ia.
