'Sharks should be in good condition

tremely warm weather has pie-

The season gets underway just
two weeks from today, September

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.

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.

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

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.
Violations of any part of the act

When buying new pillows, a com-

the naturally curved shafts of these
feathers retain their resilience long-

Don't water houseplants too often

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.

gowns sewed together will make an excellent

ATTORNEY GENERAL SETS
AGE FOR SCHOOL CHILDREN
Children who will be six years
,old on or before January 1, 1948,
are entitled to be enrolled in the
first grade of common school in
September, according to a ruling '-i
hli state attorney general.
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. That Is
to say, there is. in politics, too much talk for
what comes of it.-Fort Myers News-Press.

depends upon the type of stain,
the color and kind of fabric, and
washability of the garment. Here
are some suggestions: For egg and

food off with a dull knife, then soak
stain in cold water. Wash in warm
suds. Hot water will set the stain

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

and southwestern states.
They will see and hear at first-

ably never matched 'by any other
state, swept, in a year and a half,


from a position among those least ce fighters, are scheduled to speak


active in combating the disease to

Perry Cutoff Would Save Many Miles

And Aid In Development of West Coast




"Copyrighted Material


1- .'. 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. (lose by Fort Walton, and
Camip Gordon Johnston niear Carra-
belle. came in during the war, theb
result of this important highway
system, and commercial fishermen,
notably at Apalachicola and Pan-
ama City. have only to bring their
catches to the docks to find trucks
from distant places in other st>t'-s
waiting to buy and get going.
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

Long trains mean fewer trains-fewer
chances for accidents-fewer interrup-
tions to traffic.
But a few 'railroad union leaders op-
pose long trains-among their current 44
demands for changes in rules is one limit-
ing the length of freight trains to 57 aver-
age cars. Why do they demand this?


what is the reason behind this demand?
It is to make more jobs which are not
needed-to get more pay! This "made
work" would be sheer waste. Think of big,
modern locomotives using only half their
power.
For this waste, you-the public-would
have to pay. Higher costs mean a lower
standard of living for everybody. No-
