HELP KEEP THE SAINTS ON TOP! Attend Every Game! 1L THE STAR OFFICIAL NEWSPAPER OF GULF COUNTY The Home Newspaper of Northwest Florida's Future Industrial Center VOLUME X PORT ST. JOE, FLORIDA, FRIDAY, AUGUST 8, 1947 NUMBER 45 Bond Refunding Story Cockeyed Says Tomlinson Claims No Saving To City, No Veto; and That Editor Spreading Viscious Propaganda In a letter that if published in full would about fill a page of The Star, City Clerk Mark Tomlinson "objects strenuously to what he terms "purported happenings" at a meeting of the city commission on August 1. We had informed Mr. Tomlinson that we would be more than glad to publish hi.s. letter to the editor, up to about 500 'words, but when we saw the lengthy epistle we had to tell him that lack of space pro- hibited full publication, and- tumn we could only hit the highlights. He avers the letter is 'strictly his ,own idea. H-re 'tis: "Editor The Star-Your issue of August 1 carried an article pur- porting to report happenings at a meeting of the city commission on .July 30 at.which time the firm of Thornton, Mohr & C. presented a proposal to refinance the city's present bonded indebtedness. "I feel the citizenry of Port St. Joe is entitled to have facts of the matter placed before them whereby independent decision .can be reach- ed as to whether or not proposal to save money for the city wa-s rejected. "Proposal made by Thornton, Mohr & Co. relative to d'retging bonds was as follows: (Sinoe The Star agreed, not to publish figures submitted, at request oiL Attorney Lewis, Commis's.ioner Sharit and the bond, brokers, we feel that they should not be published here.-Ed.) "'Projected cost of these bonds un- der present conditions, $130,020; refund bonds under proposal, total cost $1.23.645; Savings under pro- posed refunding plan. $6,375. These bonds at present are callable 30 days prior to any' interest date. Proposal was to make refunding bonds non-callaible. "Proposal made relative to water and sewer revenue debentures of $210,000, with interest and princi- pal, would give total cost of $342,- 125. Projected cost of the water and sewer system's indebtedness as it no'w stands is $252,160. Addi- tional cost under proposed refund- ing on this item, $89,965; additional cost under proposed refund:, both items, $83,590. ' "Was the plan vetoed by the city commission? The mayor said'the matter would not be put to a vote at this meeting due to absence of Commissioner Chestnut. Commis- sioner Sharit stated he would not bind himself to this proposition un- til he could go into it thoroughly and get indication from present holders olE bonds, debentures and ,notes as to proposal they could make.

Apalachicola Claims Parentage of Port St.Joe Baseball Team Anonymous Writer In Times Avers 'Industrialists' and 'Czars' of St. Joe Draining Players From Oyster City With Offers of 'Fat Jobs' An anonymous writer in the Apalachicola Times, signing him- self "A Baseball Fan" (come out from behind those false whis- kers, L. G. B., we know you !), seems to be a bit upset over The Star referring to the Oyster City -baseball team as "Mis- sissippi State," and pops off with almost two full columns on the front page of The Times accusing Port St. Joe of stealing all their ball players and causing them fo go practically bank- rupt hiring Mississippi State College boys for their team at $50 per week per each with board and room thrown in.

On Account Darkness To Be Played Off Here Sunday Afternoon It was announced"at the game Wednesday that the playoff on the tie game between Port St. Joe and Panama City would be played here next Sunday, and not in Panama City as stated pre- viously. Coming from -behind in the ninth inning with the score 5-2, the Port St. Joe Saints managed to tie the Spartans 6-6 in a 12-inning game Sunday at Panama City that. was called on account of darkness. After both teams registered three Robert Miller BM1/c df Tala- hassee, recruiting officer for the naval reserve in this section, who is a deep sea diver, informed the editor of The Star last Friday that he had discovered' that a number of youngsters in Port St. Joe had secured (surplus army gas' masks from someone in, town and were using them for diving. "I imagine they 'got the idea from a talk I 'made 'here some time ago in -which I said something about using rebuilt gas ,masks for diving," said 'Miller. "I want to ad- vise them that that is, very danger- ous for a green hand. as. they are liable to drown." 'Miller asks that.parents of -boys who' have ,bought these masks warn them obEthe danger. fo' if they don't they are liable to have a dead son on their hands. METEORS DUE TO PUT ON SHOW NEXT WEEK Don't think you're seeing, flying saucers next week, for beginning Monday andi continuing for five days the earth will be passing thru a meteor swarm. The tiny bodies will be visible from in dusk to midnight, streaking .ic:oss the sky at 35 miles per sec- ond. And don't worry about being hit by one of 'em, for they are so small 100 of them would hardly weigh an ounce. They hit the at- mosphere about 75 miles up and usually burn out about 20 miles above the earth. Have Lunch At Tyndall Having lunch as ,guests of Brig. Gen. J. K.

The Saints made their first run in the fifth on a walk and two wild pitches by Smith. The Spartans counted two more in the sixth on a single, a sacrifice and two errors by Stewart. The SaInts came back for a tally when Mitchell -walked .and Belin doubled him home. *St. Joe drove Smith from the mound in the ninth with a barrage of hits. Weeks tripled, Herring was hit for a walk and Walters doubled to drive in Weeks and cause Smith to throw in his glove, Chandler tak- ing the mound for the Sipartans. But the Saints couldn't hbe stopped. Dendy took a single to bring in Herring and Hannon doubled to drive in Walters and Dendy for a one-run lead. The Spartans came back in the last of the ninth to score one run when Beliin fumbled a hot grounder andi the next two battersi singled. Jimmy Adams .took the mound for St. Joe in the tenth but neither team was able to muster a rally before the game was called at the end of the twelfth. WEDNESDAY'S GAME The return game between the Saints and the S'partans played at the local park Wednesday after- noon was a pitcher's battle all the way, with but seven hits given up by three pitchers.. The Spartans made their only score of the game in the first inn- ing on a low throw to first by Be- lin, a sacrifice by Harkin and a single by Lewis, scoring Burton. The Saints evened this up in the second as Belin was walked, stole second and came home as the Spar- tan second baseman failed to hold Weeks' line drive. St. Joe scored two more in the fourth as Hannon was walked, was sacrificed to second by Mitchell (Continued on Page 2) Old Pleasure Pier At Park Is Being Rebuilt The small pleasure pier near the foot of Reid Avenue, which a few years back fell into such a state of c'i-repair that it was unsafe for use. is being rebuilt by the city at the instigation of the Junior Cham- her of Commerce.

While Port St. Joe does not hire any of their players ? ? ? yet it is interesting to note that the Apa- lachicola boys who are excellent ball players are given "fat jobs" by Port $t. Joe industrialists. Cer- ta.inly a blind man can see the con- nection between the "Fat job" and the ball playing. Had this not been the circumstance it would not have been necessary for Apalachicola to seek outside assistance on its team. The onil An:.lachicolian who has one of these. "fat jobs" is Bennie Burke, aind as Bucky 'Walters put, it, "I'd sure like to see one of those "fat jcbs.' We really have to work.' As for "out i'le assistance," the cry olf Apalachicola for two years now has been "Beat St. Joe-We Don't Care How, But Beat 'Em!" When the manager of the Apa- lachicola team sought to find help from the few local boys remaining whom Port St. Joe were unable to hire, so that it could enter a game with at least a 50-50 chance to win, several ball players contacted stated they had already been ap- proached by Port St. Joe scouts offering them "fat jobs" in the big mill to play baseball, telling them the paramount idea was to defeat Apalachicola. Now, L. G. B., you know better than that, for if those .boys were holding down those "fat jobs?" they would ie earning their hire out on the diamond. Looks like you have magnified little Bennie Burke into an entire team.

The foundation fund formula of the neiw school bill was used in the breakdown of the $741,316 in fed- eral 'funds allocated for public school lunchrooms. Department olf education officials recommended that the 67 counties contribute about $565,527 in local funds toward the -lspport of the program, as congress has warned that unless the states or the coun- ties contribute to the program, fu- ture federal.school lunch aid may be withdrawn. The recommended, niatching fund ,for thi s county was estimated at $882. Apalachicola Claims Continued from page 2) Apalachicola, would gladly chal- lenge Port St. Joe to a series of games-winner take all receipts- each town playing only its own boys. We are sure that would suit Port St.. Joe, 'and' we know that those local Apalachicola boys. who played so faithfully 'last year (without pay) -would ,be tickled to death to again Ibe on the -home team, even after the way they have been cast aside aby that small clique that is controlling the police's of the Ap- hlachicola team. The trouble with such a game would be that Port 6t. Joe could not muster nine baseball players, while half of the players now on its team being Apalachicola boys, would be an Apalachicola team. We don't quite get that para- graph, Ibut it 'looks as though Ben- nie Buirke has again 'grown consid- erably in stature. (Excuse us, Ben- nie, for using you so much as a horrible example, 'but you seem to be the bone of contention.) To the good fans of Port St. Joe we would like to say that the fans of Apalachicola consider the Saints, especially the many Apa- lachicola boys on it every one of them a Van Johnson, a lothario. L. G. 'B. seems to know you pretty well. Bennie-take a bow. We'll have to take another look at the cgly mu.s of the rest o ycu guy: A good suggestion to the baseball czars of Port St. Joe is that they move the "Belin" fence back 100 yards, We mention the Belin fence as this fine young university ball player is really the only Port St. Joe boy on the team, the others being a gathered group of players sought out from far and near cor- ners and cities, and hired to come to Port St. Joe -and play baseball. Oh, yes, we know. about the jobs in the mill-we've been to school. We didn't know Belin had played on a university team, ibut if he did, he didn't play for hire during the summer vacation. As for the jobs in the mill, L. G. B., you may have been to school, ,but you apparently learned very little, Ifor the interests that operate the mill don't give two soots in hades about the ball team. And even if they d'id, they wouldn't compel a man to play in order to keeti) his job, as is being done, ,we understand, -with one of the three Apalachicola boys playing on the Oyster City team. And, L. G. B., you contradict yourself a bit. First you assert positively and without the shadow olf a doubt, especially in the head on your ar- ticle, "Apalach vs. Port St. Joe, Ac- tually Apalach vs. Apalach," that the Port St. Joe ball players come from Apalachicola, and here you juit as positively state that they are 'sought out from far and near corners and cities." My, my, L. G. B.. such inconsistency! We wish to assure Mayor Horace Soule that he may banish his fears in contemplating the umpiring of ball games. We certainly would not , go so far in personalities in our criticism as The Star did in the in- stance of Apalachicola's mayor, who yielded to an urgent request and umpired for our two teams as beautiful a game as anyone ever witnessed. Mayor >Soule has better sense than to attempt to umpire a 'game, and as to the, criticism of Mayor Owens voiced in The Star, it was a just criticism, as some of your good citizens of Apalachico'la will admit, and it wasn't hidden behind the anonymity of "A -Baseball Fan," Another DORIS DODSON Darling!

As for the "ur- gent request," we doubt that, for when the Apalathicola team stated they couldn't afford to hire um- pires 'from Tyndall Field and Port St. Joe offered to pay the, cost of the umpires., the offer was turned down-and Mayor Owens is one of the directors of the Alpalach team.

To which we replied: "So what ?" A lot of people believe all the tripe and buncombe that circulates aboti the difference in stature of their fellow beings, fawn on those in high office, delight in being seen with them and stoop to "boot-licking" in the hope of currying favor or perhaps to hold a position that is controlled by politics. In this small puddle of Port St. Joe we have our big frogs. In the pool of the state there swim some pompous officials, and in the lake of the nation there are some awful frumps. Anyone who has ever heard, John.L. Lewis beat on his chest and quote from the classics knows what a big frog he thinks he is. And some of our congressmen and senators-my, oh, my, they've inflated themselves so with their own egotism that they loom like blimps above their more conservative fellows. All of which is so much rot. The small-town hypocrite who sets- himself apart from his fellow men in an aura of touch-me-not sanc- tity, the state officials who patronizingly visit the provinces, the national officials who talk down to the people-the kings, the dictators, the generals, the congressmen, the labor leaders, the prime ministers-all those for whom press cameras click and whose words are listened to as coming from authority-are *no different than any of the rest. We remember one time when we were at- tending-the state fair at Sacramento, Calif., how horrified the congressman from our dis- trict was when he presented us with tickets for seats, on- the rostrum from which Gover- nor Rolph was to speak, and we-informed-him that we had much rather sit in the audience with real people than on the stage with a bunch of stuffed shirts. It is extremely healthy to reflect that they are all your size. Any common kitchen chair will seat any one of them. Every one of them was a red-faced baby that wet its pants, couldn't talk, and was so helpless it couldn't walk just a few years ago, letalone rise up on its hind legs and rant of the great "I Am." Not one of them is indispensable. Every one of them will be gone a few years from now, and our city, our state, our nation and the world will rbck on even better than it is doing today. Despite the genuflection (if you don't know what that means, it's "worshipful bending of the knee," or as we said above, "boot-licking") the big talk, the "His Honors" and "Your Ex- cellencies" that are cast their way, they are no sow's ears magically changed to silk purses but just plain ordinary human beings subject to the bellyache and to an occasional pimple on the nose. Any one of them, like you and T, can be scared stiff by a creature so insignificant that you can't even see it without a microscope-- a microbe. These are the birds who are running the world, deciding what to do about the fates of nations, pounding their chests as they decide whether they will send one army against an- other or tell a half million men whether to strike or work. They include the professional explainers who tell us what everything is all about and what is good for us and what is bad. and to listen to them you would think that they were a different breed of dog than the rest of us, sitting at the master's feet, with a direct pipeline to the fount of knowledge,, power and glo61y, which they patronizingly pass on to us. But there is one thing.about them that we can all heartily admire-their gall. ONE PLACE TO CUT There are more than 5,500,000 persons em- ployed by the federal, state and local govern- ments. These are almost equally divided be- tween the federal government and the state and local governments-2,752,000 on the fed- eral payroll and 2,824,000 on the state and local payrolls. About one of every ten gainfully employed person works for some unit of government in the United States. Does this suggest where some economies can be made ?-Springfield Union. There is said to be more horsepower than horses, but from where we sit there seems to be more bull than bullpower. Courtship may be only a sample of matri- mony. but who is able to tell anything by a sample ? Apartments are 'now being built so small that the rooms fold into the walls when not in use.
