HELP PROMOTE PORT ST. JOE BY JOINING THE JUNIOR CHAMBER OF I L COMMERCE f Su^^^o THE STAR The Home Newspaper of Northwest Florida's Future Industrial Center OFFICIAL NEWSPAPER OF GULF COUNTY VOLUME X PORT ST. JOE, FLORIDA, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 1947 NUMBER 50 .Sharks Getting In Good Shape For Grid Season Florida Due To Have 7th House Solon -Opening Game Will Be Played Sep- Estimated Population Hike Shows member 26 Under Lights At Bainbridge, Ga. If hot weather will put them in A-1 shape, the Port St. Joe High 'Sharks should be in good condition for the football season, a's ex- tremely warm weather has pie- vailed, since this year's hopefuls *started their workouts under the watchful and critical eye of Coach Marvin Craig. The season gets underway just two weeks from today, September 26, when the Sharks trek to Bain- bridge, Ga., for the opener, which will be played on the Bainbridge field' under the lights. Coach Craig says the boys are shaping up good despite the fact that most of them are green. He says they are really going out for all they are worth, and the way they are stacking up, should be able to .hold, their own with any of the teamins on their schedule. This' year's 10-game schedule will find four games played at home. one an open date, and' six away from home.. The schedule follows: Sept. 26-Bainbridge, Ga., there (night). Oct. 3-Ap-alachicola, there. Oct. 10-Carrabelle, here (night). Oct. 17-Chiple.y, there (night). Oct. 24-Gracevule, there (night). Oct. 31--Open, here. Nov. 7-Wewahitchka, here nitee) Nov. 14-DeFuniak Springs, here (night). Nov. 21-Bonifay, there (night). :Nov. 26-Blountstown, the.re. We trust the public will lend its wholehearted support to the team this year and turn out for all home games. Nothing is more appreci- ated by our youngsters than good, loyal support-win, lose or draw. --- -----7----------- Parents Asked To Attend Quarterback Club Meet The meeting held Wednesday eve- ning at the high school for the pur- pose of organizing a Quarterback Club was quite disappointing, but seven persons showing up. How- ever, these few ran over a sug- gested constitution and by-laws and suggested as a name "The St. Joe Sports Cluib," the objective being to back high school athletics. Another meeting is scheduled for 8 o'clock Monday night at the school and parents of stfidents, as well as those interested in school athletics, are urged to ,be present in order that they may learn the aims of the organization. TRESTLE BURNS-TRAIN LATE The. A. N. "Doodlebug'" was held up until late yesterday afternoon due to the fact that a wooden trestle was burned, out south of Chatta- hoochee. Mail and express was de- layed, not to mention possible pas- sengers. Return Here To Make Home Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Hughes and children have returned to Port St. Joe to make their home. They re- port they liked Tallahassee all right 'hbut were mighty glad to get back to St. Joe. "Once you get St. Joe .and' in your shoes, it's hard to stay away," says' Mrs. Hughes. ---------- Tom Bartee left Sunday for Mill- edgeville, Ga., where he will attend Georgia Military College this te.rm.- State Will Eventually Be Entitled To Seat It never pays to count your chick- ens before they hatch, ibut it is a reasonably safe. bet that Florida -ill gain a seventh member of the house of representatives in the next .eapportioni ent of congressional seats. Assuming congress adheres to the law-which it doesn't always do- and reapportion's the 4M5,seats in the house on the ,basis of the 1950 census, and. assuming that Florida hold's the population gain estimated for it by the census bureau, there is no question but that the state will be entitled to another seat in the house. This reapportionment issue, of course, won't ;be raised before 1952. because 1950 census figures won't be available until then-and that, of course, makes this an exceed- ingly long-range prediction.. But the figures are there to back it up. The. census bureau estimates that Florida, between July 1940 and July 1946 ;benefitted. from a gain of 412.- SS9 personsn. That figure is, enough, if reapportionment took place now on the-basis of an estimate, to en- title Florlda to that seventh house member right now. It's. more than enough, in fact Not only does the figure represent more-ppopulation-than now is offici- ally embraced in five of the state's dix congressional districts (the first, with 439,895 persons in the -e'ntsns cf 1940, is the exception), but it is well over the average per districtt in the country. Calculating on the basis of the to- tal population of the United State.s as estimated now 'by the census bu- reau, each 321,594 persons of popu- lation 'would entitle a state to one congressman Florida's estimated population of 2.310,303 persons thus would entitle it to seven congress. men, instead of the six it now has. Of course, 'between July 1, 1946, the date of the estimate, and July 1, 1,950, the date of the next official census, population change-s will oc- cur--abut if Florida hold's to its pres- ent rate of gain, or anything ap- proaching it, the state will have a seventh congressman sometime Tn the next decade-and if that comes about. undoubtedly Carl Gray will be running for the new seat. WORK RENEWED ON LAUNDRY BUILDING After being held up for some time. due to lack of the steel roof trusses; work ha's been resumed on the new Creech Brothers Laundry building on Monument Avenue, nndl the structure, will be rushed to completion. Move Here From Alabama Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Barr have re- cently moved here from Oxford, Ala., to make this city their home. Mr. Barr is employed at the Flor- ida Bank. Mother Ill Mrs. L. C. Wi-se was called to Sarasota last Sunday due to the ill- ness of her mother, Mrs. G. W. Childs. On Vacation Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Daughtry left Saturday for a month's vacation to be spent in Waverly, PFla., with Mr. and Mrs. Charless Miller. Heavy Cashing South Floridians County School of Leave Bonds 'Asking for Storm!

PAGE TWO Responsibility Law Provides Protection From Careless Drivers Safer Florida highways and, pro- tection from careless drivers are the main results expected of the new state motor vehicle safety re- sponsibility law, which becomes ef- fective October 1. It is a well known fact that on Florida's streets andt highways to- day there are many drivers wityn neither the. financial ability to pay for any damage, injury or loss of life they might cause, nor with a sense of driving responsibility and care necessary to avert many or the accidents that happen from day to day. Under the new law every owner and operator of a motor vehicle in- volved in any accident will be sub- ject to its provisions.. Proof of fi- nancial responsibility m a y be shown by a motor vehicle liability policy, surety bond, deposit of cash or securities, or qualifications as a self-insurer. The act specifically requires that any owner or operator involved in an accident shall thereafter show the ability to respond in damages as a requirement to future exercise of his d-river's privileges. Thirty days after receipt of no- tice of any accident Involving any motor vehicle, within or without the state, involving personal injury or damage of $50 or more to prop- erty, the state insurance commis- sioner will suspend the license or the. owner or operator of the ve- hicle involved unless he has pre- viously made himself exempt from the act. Exemptions take the form of proof of financial responsibility as mentioned.

Our Country Right or Wrong THE TRAGEDY OF ENGLAND We have always been of firm opinion that Socialists were crackpots, and now England's foreign secretary, Ernest Bevins, seems to prove it with his proposal for redistribution to the world of the U. S. gold at Fort Knox. We have already loaned England some four billion dollars which, like the World War I loans prob- ably will never be repaid, and the socialistic English government has already spent practic- ally all of it in hare-brained schemes, despite the fact it was calculated to last over a period of .several years. The basis of socialism is that is will divide the wealth, to the benefit of the uilderpriv- ileged, but the truth is that socialism simply extends the poverty, and everyone, save for the eyver-growing bureaucracy that seems an inescapable part of socialist governments, Is ultimately the loser. This is a perfectly logical course. Accumu- lated wealth, much as the agitators may de- nounce it, is the creator of jobs and opportuni- ties for all. Invested savings built this country and its industries. Other nations have raw n-rt- terials and natural resources comparable to ours, but only in this nation, under a system ,of government which was founded on the idea -of guaranteeing a man the fruits of his initia- tive and success, have those resources beer- given maximum development. Incentive., n other words, was responsible for the kind or -progress that brought the United States from ,a wilderness to the world's foremost industrial -power in much less than two centuries. The editor of The Star has always fought socialism and communism, and we pointed out -when the socialistic regime took over the reins that England was in for sad days. The failure of socialism in England can be easily explained. The policy of the labor government Js to rigidly restrict individual economic ac- vancement, to destroy established wealth, and to make all productive enterprise a function of the state. All incentive has thus been lost. The -morass of red tape created by the government .has made individual initiative impossible. Every undertaking must fall Nwithin inelastic -unimaginative rules. And the result is that British- industrial recovery has been disrupted, Socialism saps the vitality of peoples. It ex- alts mediocrity. It turns nations into poor- houses. That, in essence, is the terrible tragedy that has befallen England.. Despite our optimism we are a bit suspicious of the fellow who is doing something for our good and at his expense.

Replying to an inquiry from the state school superintendent, the at- MUCH TALK Scoffing at Attorney General Tom Watson's explanation of why he tossed a banana peel under the feet of the Everglades national park, Editor Ed Lambright of the Tampa Tribune, branded the attorney general's statement as a parturientt mountain producing a muscipular abortion." With a delicacy that seems to be at- tending his maturing years, this was. by way of saying that the mountain labored and brought forth a mouse. Watson, who blisters easily, burned with in- dignation when he read it and in due course replied with a letter to the Tribune in which he protested being made the butt of big words. lint the extent of his dejection was as nothing compared with the elation of Fuller \arreln, who may be in tie runoff with \Watson for governor next year, when he came upon the l.amblright lampoon. Fuller also wrote a let- ter to the editor; not, however, foui publica- tion nor in praise of belittling an opponent, but in admiration of an adroit use of polysyl- lables, than which there is nothing -that ex- hilarates him more. Being no mean hand at dictionary dialectics. he hailed the mountain's maternity clothes andi a rat in four syllables as "a new high in oro- tund, exciting expression," and assured Editor Lambright that "even H. L. Mencken. in his prime, ever soared so high in the stratospierc of superlative phraseology." As for Fuller. himself, he acknowledged that his "philoiogi- cal propensities were titillated right through to the core." and for that he would be willing to pay the Tribune 50 cents a week if they would serve it as regular fare. Most of its customers preferring to have it spelled the easier way. the Tribune's editorial department hasn't titillated Fuller Warren very much since the matter of the rat and the mountain. However, Editor Lambright not be- ing one to brush off a fan, gave Fuller's "phil- iological propensities" a bit of a boot by writ- ing him a persona.i letter disparging the pu- trescence of politics. "It would be," lie said, "much cleaner (i.e. less contaminated) if the candidates would remember that one does not have to wear a sanctimonious capout ihe o chant lugubrious doxologies to illustrate fi- delity to principle-and that the man who suc- ceeds is the one who by operose effort slowly but surely climbs the acclivous ascent to ulti- mate eminence." We trust Fuller will recover from that as completely as he did the time he bit his tongue when his car tipped over. It's going to take a bit of figuring out, but the reference to a sanctimonious capouche and the chanting of lugubrious doxologies seems to b.e a lexico- graphical hint that if he will refrain from talk- ing through his hat his aclivious ascent, which means making the grade in Tom Watson's language, can be accomplished without ope- rose resort to onamatology, which is what peo- ple here are doing in trying to find a name for obstreperous Counciljan Blouch.

OE GLFCUNYFLRIA RIA, EPEMER12 14 Federal Gasoline Tax Averages More Monthly Than All 1847 Revenue Each month the federal gasoline tax costs American motorists sub- stantially more than the total an- nual tax receipt's of tdie, national government a hundred years ago, according to W. T. Etzel of Miami, ,chairman of the Florida petroleum industries committee. He made this .comparison in a statement in which he, urged that the federal gasoline tax be repealed. Etzel pointed out that receipts from the 11/2c federal tax on each gallon of gasoline have averaged $32,.500,000 a month for the, first five months of 1947, while for the entire year 1847 receipts of the federal gvornment from all revenue sources amounted to only $26,- 495,769. "My point is," he added-, "that the motorists as a class, are. today bear- in:g a larger share of federal taxa- tion on just one product alone in just a single month than was borne in a whole year by all the taxpayers of the nation a century ago. And this does-n't even take into consideration the other fed- eral taxes on lubricating oil and motor vehicle parts and equip- rment." The 11/2c per gallon federal gaso- line tax, he' continued', is imposed on top of our enormouslyly high" state gasoline tax of seven cents per gallon, with the result that "the total tax the consumer pays on each gallon, of gasoline amount's to more, relatively, than he would pay on some of the most extravagant luxuries. This is probably the most vi-ious example of multiple taxa- tion that you could find in the en- tire country today. "'Twenty-seven state governments as well as countless individual citi- 2ens throughout the nation, have petitioned- congress. to repeal this tax since it .was adopted as a 'tem- porary emergency measure' fifteen years ago. Now congress, is study- ing a complete revision of the structure of federal excise taxes. I a.m convinced that thi-s study can 'only conclude that the federal tax on gasoline should ,be placed at the -very top of the list of levies to be repealed. As a violation of state's T-ights and a discrimination against an already overtaxed group of citt- zen's, it is a measure that cannot ;be defended on either logical or ,equitable grounds."- TREES SLEEP, TOO Trees require a period of relief- s-rom light which may be compared Roughly with the state of sleep for animals.

Syndicated Content Available from Commercial News Providers" I . The Sta-r has long advocated con- struction of a cut-off highway from Wakulla to Perry, which would shorten he distance from West Florida points to the east coast and South.Florida by' approximately 56 miles by eliminating the long drive through Tallahassee and back to Perry, and' now it looks as though this dre-am may be realized, since the state highway department has taken the matter under considera- tion but states that nothing can be done for a year or so yet. Construction of this link would bring much more tourist traffic through this section and do much toward further development of the Area. Had it not been for'construction of the Gulf Coast Highway, this area still would be in the. wilder- ness stage, since all the coastal de- velo;pment has happened and, is priii.: 'because of a" a-lream come true-the, Gulf Coast High- way, a scenic' route from Tallahas- see to Pensacola consisting of 330 miles of modern hard-surfaced high- way and nine major bridges, built at a cost of approximately $43,- 000,000. The dream had its inception more than 21 years ago, but there were politicians and unbelievers who scoffed, predicting that nothing but gophers, frogs and alligators would ever go over the proposed road. But today -thousands of tourists .and ,business men ride along the high-way every day, and the state gasoline tax on out-of-state cars 'that have traveled the road since its completion in 1938 have, alone, paid for its construction, according to several of its original boosters. Realization of the Gulf Coast Highway was the, fulfillment of a dream by Alfred I. duPont and a number of other forward-looking Floridians like John W. Martin, ro:- metr governor, Dr. Fons A. Hath- away, his road 'department chair- man, and 'scores of West Floridians 1 who didn't give up when the fight needed help the most. Because this highway was built, a vast undeveloped area was thrown open. Towns took a new life and vigor and three huge pulp mills have bee-n built, one at Port St. Joe with a daily capacity of 350 tons, an 800-ton mill at Panama City and a huge mill near Pensacola. Big army camps, like Tyndall Field, just west of Port St. Joe, Eg- lin Field.

All this has happened since that September 10, 1926, when the Gulf Coast Highwva.y As'ociatiol was or- ganized at a meeting in Panama City of believers in We.st Florida. At that time there .wasn't a single piece of paved road in all of North- just east of Milton, in Santa Rosa west Florida west of Lake City, ex- county. cept a 10-mile stretch of brick road And old-timers in this highway building project, like W. T. Ed- wards., point out that the dream came true after overcoming enor- mous difficulties, like having the higlnway cross mouths of some of the widest rivers in the. country, and the tremendous expense of transporting road building material and machinery into a deeply iso- lated section.
