Games In PI ay off


Third Game Will Be Played
At Port St. Joe Park Next
Sunday Afternoon

Playing before one of the largest
crowds ever to jam the local ball
park, the Apalachicola Oystermen
took the. measure of the Port St.
Joe Saints 1-0 Sunday afternoon in
the opening tilt of the playoff for
the championship of the Gulf Coast
League.
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

This win evened up the playoff
finals at one game each. The third
game of the series will be played
at the 1St. Joe park Sunday, with
the fourth game played the next
day (Labor Day) at Apalachicola.
Cod'dle Hendels held" the Saints
to three hits Wednesday. However.
he did not have his. usual control,
as he. walked seven men, one Inten-
tionally, and hit one batter.
The game opened with Dendy
drawing a 'walk. Hannon sacrificeCa
and Dendy advanced to third on
Mitchell's grounder to second. Be-
lin was walked and Dendy scored
as. the. fourth ball was. a wild pitch.

field, Herring scoring Weeks with
a' single. over second.
The final run was chalked up by
Thomason. who walked and ad-
vanced to second as Dendy was
walked, Tommy Mitchell hitting a
liner into right to score Lefty.

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

ing it next'week, but Mrs. Ruth

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.)

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.

If you are in favor of continuing the progressive plans of the late
Mayor Soule for the future of Port St. Joe, VOTE YOUR BALLOT

Our Country Right or Wrong

THE COMMUNITY'S LOSS
A life cannot be properly appraised until it
is completed. 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.
Where are out civic clubs in the matter of
youth work? From the Okaloosa News-Jour-
nal: "Masons to Start DeMolay Chapter." 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.

So the People



May Know!



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 have served on the commission,
and if re-elected I promise to con-
tiue to serve the best interests of
all the people to the best of my
ability. To that end I would ap-
preciate your vote and support.

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.
