It was. a pitchers' duel all the way between Jimmy Schantel for the Saints and Floyd Johsson on the, mound( for Apalachicola, each giving up but four hits. The Oystermen made the lone score of the game in the second inning as P. Granmmas singled thru short and stole second and third, Bloodworth was walked and Bene- field hit a long fly to left field to drive in Grafnmas. The Saints threatened but oniet to score, and that was in the seventh as Mitchell singled over second after Hannon had popped out to first, Belin hit a liner to third, Mitchell being caught out at second, and Weeks singled to ad- vance. Belin to third. But the op- portunity was wafted away on the wings of a high. fly to right field by Herring which fell into the tar bucket.' The score by innings: Team- R H E Apalachicola 010 000 000-1 4 1 Port St. Joe 000 000 000-0 4 2 Hits off: Schantel, 4; Johnson, 4. Strikeouts, by: ,Schantel, 7; John- son, .3. Walks 'by: Schantel, 1.

OEGUF OUTY FLRIA RIAY AUUS 2, 94 (Editor's Note: The following let- ter was written ,by the late Mayor Soule about a week prior to his death and was left with the edi- tor for publication in this issue of The Star. We had intended us- ing it next'week, but Mrs. Ruth iSoule believed it should be pub- lished just as her late husband requested.) gi Hon. W. S. Smith, Editor The Star. Dear Mr. Smith In order that the citizens of Port St. Joe might have a complete and clear picture 0o the finances of the city and or the refunding plan whieh has been *submitted to this city, I submit herewith -the following: I A bond firm has offered to refund our present indebtedness consisting of $105,000 of 4% call able general obligation dredgingt bonds and $163,000 of 4% non-gen- eral obligation non-callable water and sewer revenue debenture bonds, guaranteeing that the. city will r.- ceive a lower rate of interest on bcth issues, but providing thit the new refunding bonds will be put up at public sale to be sold to the highest bidder. Proceeds from the sale of the new bonds would be used to pay off the presently out- standing bonds, which are held by the duPont interests. 2. In consideration of this guar- antee, and in accomplishing the re- funding and paying of expenses in connection therewith, this bond firm has naturally asked that they be paid a fee. 3. They have guaranteed that the city will receive a rate of at least 2%/4% on -the dredging bonds as against the present 4%, leaving the waterworks during the period 1941 to 1945 averaged approxi- mately $11,000 per annum. It is', therefore, obvious that the city has .been unable, to meet tne principal and' interest payments, and. that we have been dropping further and further behind; 5.. The d.uPont interests have so far been v-ry generous in this re- gard, and have not required the city to pay any interest on past due pri-ncipal and interest pay- ments. However, the management or ownership of the. St. Joe Paper Company could easily change, and the attitude toward Port St. Joe change therewith. ,As a matter of fact, a letter fias been received from the duPont interests which in- dicates, that the city might be called upon in the future to make such payments. Approximately $230,000 was bor- rowed in 1937 to 'build our water and sewer system. There is still $215,000 of this amount owing to- day, not including interest on past due bonds and coupons. This is cer- tainly a serious matter, and is the result solely of the bond payments having been made too heavy in each year. The refunding proposal on the-se bond's provides annual principal and interest payments of approxi- mately $11,000, but with the city having the opportunity of calling certain of its long bonds at par should the net revenues exceed the, S11000. No possible comparison can be made between the, present prin- cipal and interest payments anid any proposed refunding schedule, as the city is unable to meet its present payments, and obviously these must be lengthe-ned and re- the maturities, set up as at present, duced. (If the net revenues of the but providing that the new bonds plant are as much as. say. $17.000 will be non-callable rather tila" per year, the city can use surplus callable (it is of interest to note t') call bonds, and the total prince that no bond's have ever been called 'pal and interest payments over the prior to maturity by the city in the entire life of the issue would ,be past, and it is of further interest to approximately $280,000. Obviously not' that we undoubtedly will get if the net revenue exceeded $17,000, a better rate of interest on non- more. bonds' can be called, and the callable bonds than on callable payments reduced even further.) bonds').

On the $163,000 non-callable rate on the refunding water and water and sewer revenue bonds, 'sewer bonds is approximately 31/2% the city is approximately three as against the present 4%. years behind on the payment of 6.

WRITE IN THE NAME OF RUTH SOULE FOR Mayor of Port St. Joe At the City Election To Be Held September 2 The citizens of Port St. Joe heartily recommend Mrs. Soule as a can- didate" for Mayor for the reason that she is more familiar with the late Mayor Horace W. Soule's efforts in the past and his plans for the future of our city. There could be no greater tribute to our late Mayor than to have his dear wife to continue his program and his dreams for the future progress of Port. St. Joe. There can be no greater loss to a family than to lose the husband and father. The community's loss is as great in almost the same way --the loss of a Friend, Citizen and Champion of Democracy.

This fact alone can justify the common practice of waiting until after death to say the many good things that could have .been said about the deceased while he lived. We had been privileged to know Mayor Horace W. Soule for ten years, and we feel justified in saying that his death ended the life of a really good and useful man. Without flourish those simple" words say a great deal. "'Another good man is gone," spoke a friend ,of long standing of Mayor Soule after his fu- neral and burial last Friday afternoon. Neither this, though, nor the eulogistic remarks of Rev. Tom Byrne is all that have been said commendatory of Mayor Soule and the life he lived. He made friends of all whom he met -and his friends were legion. He was firm in his convictions and yet completely fair and sympathetic- with those who differed with hiim. He was prominent not only in business ,circles but also in church and fraternal and civic organizations, and was identified with all local movements for the betterment of the communityy. -. Yes, with the passing of Horace Soule the community lost one of its most valuable mem- Ibers and to all who are grieved by his passing, it is comforting that he had lived a useful and ,exemplary life, and that he was worthy of all the econiums spoken of him. THE 'GROWNUPS' OF CHIPLEY Clippings which have accumulated on our '"editorial" hook in the past few weeks show that civic activity and general progressiveness -is really a quite ordinary phenomenon in sev- ,eral cities around here besides our own. From an issue of the Port St. Joe Star a few weeks back we lifted an article entitled "Youth 'Center Will Open This Evening." Intended for :all teen-age boys and girls there, the.building was bought by a recreation- committee colm- iposed of a representative from each civic or- iganization in the. city, was erected almost en- tirely by volunteer labor, and placed on ground given by the Rotary Club for a playground. Horace W. Soule "'Sunset and evening star And one clear call for me, And may there be no moaning of the bar -When I put out to sea." I am not sure of Tennyson's ex- act words in his immortal "Crossing Yes, you say, but we are progressive, too. Look at all our new businesses! But our teen-agers can't go to an auction market for recreation, and you can't expect them to learn to do constructive things in their spare time just because we're getting a deep-freeze locker here this fall.

De- Molay is an organization of boys between the ages of 14 and 21, sponsored by the Masons. Or, from a South Florida weekly, we could quote the activities of a Key Club chapter. The Key Club is a youth organization spon- sored by Kiwanis. The "grown-ups" of Chipley act tired. They want to be entertained. Maybe that's the rea- son they refuse to help our youth entertain itself. -Washington County News. AND SOME WANT IT HERE The believers in the totalitarian state al- ways argue that that form of government does * the most to advance the interests of the "com- mon man." They prate of production for use instead of production for profit, and point to tlhe achievements of dictatorship in .advancing the standard of living of the worker. In the light'of that, some figures concern- ing- the Russian economy are of interest. In less than a year the price of black bread, the staple item in the diet of the average Russian, has increased 240 per cent. Milk has gone up 220 per cent, sugar 196 per cent, butter 136 per cent, and beef 114 per cent. The cost of clothing and all manufactured goods have also advanced tremendously, and are usually uno.,- tamable at any price. But, in the same period, the wages of Ru'ssian workers have gone up only 25 per cent. The "fortunate" Russians are not burdened with a free, competitive economy such as that in the United States. They don't have to suf- fer along with such typically capitalistic mon- strosities as great factories producing a gro-, - ing flood of consumer goods, nor do they have stores of all types competing with each other for consumer favor. In Russia everything is owniied and controlled by the state, and tne factories produce and the stores sell only what the masterminds at the top think fit and proper. The result, according to *a U. S. de- partment of labor survey, is that the living standards of American workers are about 1000 per cent above those of their Russian coun- terparts. Keep that in mind when you hear the vir- tues of Communism and other "isms" com- pared to the vices of the competitive free en- terprise system of production and distribution.

There are rumors circulating in the city that two members of the Board of City Commissioners voted against raising the tax levy for 1947 from 15 to 19.7 mills at the regular budget meeting held December 57, 1946, and that the boost was authorized by the three remaining members. To refute these rumors there is published below a portion of the minutes of that meeting as they appear in the city records. J. R. CHESTNUT Minutes of meeting of Tax Equalization Board of the City of Port St. Joe held in City Hall on 17th day of December, 1946, at 8:00 P. M. Meeting of the tax equalizing board was held at this time with J. R. Chestnut, B. B. Conklin, Mrs. R. R. Mi- nus, J. L. Sharit and Horace W. Soule members of the City Commission who constitute said board, present, to- gether with M. P. Tomlinson, city auditor and clerk, as clerk of same, and E. Clay Lewis, Jr., city attorney, present. Thereupon, Commissioner Minus offered Ordin- annce No. 105X entitled as follows: ORDINANCE NO. 105X "An Ordinance Relating to the Assessment and Levy of Taxes In the City of Port St. Joe, Florida for the Tax Year A. D. 1946," which was read in full its first time. Thereupcn Commissioner Sharit moved the, rules be waived and Ordinance No. 105X be read a second L:me by its ti6te only, which motion was duly adopted, and "_-._-.r- :e No. 5 ISX was read a second time by title only. Tlh,: eup;r, Co.-nmissioner Chestnut moved the rules Ee further: waived and Ordinance No. 105X be read its third time inm full and placed on final passage, which mo- tion was duly adopted, and Ordinance No. 105X was read its third time in full. Thereupon Mayor-Commissioner Scule announced Or- dinarnce Nc',, 115SX has been read its third time in full and is now ca final passage. Upon final passage of Ordin- ance No. 105X the vote was: Ayes, Commissioners Chestnut, Conklin, Minus, Sharit and Soule. Nays, none. Since my budget got a lot slimmer than I did on my vacation, I'm in a particularly thrifty mood these days. So are plenty of other women... judging by the large number I always see taking advantage of the everyday low prices at the A&P. Are you among them? I r FRIDAY, AUGUST 29, 1947 THE STAR, PORT ST.

I am in favor of re- ducing taxes, fair and impartial tax assessments, accurate publication of minutes of commission meetings stating how each member votes, itemized statement of city's finan- cial affairs published monthly, pub- licatiqn for all to see of ordinances and resolutions, and making the public welcome at all meetings.

WALTER DUREN FOR CITY COMMISSIONER i wish to announce my candidacy as a candidate for City Commis- sioner in Group 3 in the election t6 be held September 2, 1947. Having served for six years at one time as mayor of our city, I feel that I am fully qualified to sit on the com- mission.

CHESTNUT Star Want Ads Bring Quick Results At Small Cost. - To the Registered Freeholders 'Aof Port St. Joe A Referendum Election has been called for September 2, 1947, for the confirmation of Chapters 24837 and 24838, Laws of Florida, Acts of 1947. Chapter 24837 is to validate the city's $25,037.41 'note given in 1993 for money advanced by Almours Securities, Inc., for amount necessary to complete the Water and Sewer System and take full advantage of PWA Grant made at that time. Voting on this proposal does not create any additional obli- gation to the city. It simply makes provision whereby this' obligation can be included with Water and Sewer Revenue Debentures when and if they are refunded. Chapter 24838 gives the City Commission authority, if-bonds are. issued by vote of freeholders for construction of a City- Hall, Jail and Fire Station, to bind 60% of funds collected under the present Utility Tax until such time as bonds issues for this purpose are paid. We believe each of these proposals are sound an8 in the best interest of the city and its inhabitants. All persons qualified to vote in this election, which will 'be held at same time of election of new Commission and Mayor, are urged to vote for both proposals. s/ J. L. SHARIT. AGNES W. MINUS.' J. R.
