County School


Trustee Election

To Be Held Nov. 4


All Tax School Districts Are
Consolidated Under
New Law

Gulf county this year will have
,but one school district election-
fori the entire county-instead of
the old inter-county district elle.c-
tions that have been conducted in
-the past, and voters will go to the
,polls in a special election next No-
veinber 4 to select three trustees
for the special district to replace
six trustees now functioning in two
special school districts, under tlhe
new law passed during the recent
se-ssion of the state legislature.
The new law, as recommended ?y
the Florida citizens committee on
education, was designed to eliml-
nate sectionalism and "provide.
equal ad-vantages, equipment, etc."
for each school, as 'well as stream-
line the functioning of the t,'ustee
system. Heretofore, three trustees
have 'been elected from each of the
two school districts.
Candidates for the three seats
must be nominated by pe-tition of
at least five qualified freeholders
and file with the county school
board, at least 30 days prior to the
holding of the election. In this case
the deadline will be Octo'ber 4.
The three trustees elected will
serve for tl eu-uinug two years as
trustees for the county, taking of-
fice. in Janualry, 1948. Not more
than one trustee shall come from
any one residence, district, for
which a county board member is
provided for by law.
Menibers of the county school
board are chosen from the five dis-
tricts as outlined by a resolution
adopted recently by the school
board and published last week in
The Star. The districts as set up
are as follows:
District No. 1-Voting precinct 1,
East Wewahitchka, and Dalkeith.
District No. 2-Highland View,

Kiwanis Will Make Up
School Lunch Deficit

Due to the fact that the federal
contribution toward school lunches
has been cut from six to three cents
per plate, it is estimated there -will
be a deficit of approximately $800
ii the local school lunch program
this year, and the Port St. Joe Ki-
wanis Club has agreed to take over
the deficit in order that lunches
may be kept up to standard set in
the past few years. The estimate of
$800 was basel on the. fact that last
year the deficit was $648. With in.
creased enrollment and higher food
costs the higher figure was set for
this term.
The public will be as-ked to aid in
raising this money by contributing
their pennies, nickles and dimes,
which will be deposited in coin
boxes placed in stores in Port St.
Joe, Beacon Hill, White City, Oak
Grove, Hiig'hland View and Kenney's
Mill.

Gas Tax Funds


Will Be Used On


Roads-Streets


Gulf County Receiving Approx-
imately $42,000 Yearly
From-State

With approximately $55,000 pet
year accruing to the credit of Gulf
county from the second, gas tax for
the construction of roads and
bridges, and with approximately
$3000 per annum of this 'sum re-
quired to pay off principal and in-
terest on road and bridge obliga-
tions acquired when Gulf county
was a part of Calhoun county, the
board of county commissioners de-
cided to do something with the
$52,000 remaining which can be
used for the construction of state
roads and bridges within the
county.
So they passed a resolution at
their last meeting applying to the
state improvement commission to
issue and sell a sufficient amount
of revenue certificates for the con-
struction and hand-surfacing of the
following streets within unincorpor-
ated communities of the county:
OAK GROVE
lola Street,-'lat part of Hunter Street
connecting Iola and Dluval Streets. )uval

Payment for the above will be
made from the 20 per cent portion
of the gas tax revenue.
From the 80 per cent end, the
commissioners are petitioning for
sale of revenue certificates to hard-
ui'fface state road 381 (the Dal-
keith-Willis road) and state road
23-27, which exte.uds from highway
'8 through Oak Grove to Niles.

Gulf county a modern inter-linked
system of hard-surfaced roads.

Star Is Held Up For
Hurricane Results

With a hurricane breathing
down the back of our neck yes-
terday afternoon, and the possi-
bility that there would be a lot
in the way of news to record, the
editor of The Star decided to
hold up publication for a day-or
possibly longer if the power lines
.were destroyed-in order that our
out of-town readers wouldn't b'e
required to wait a week to find
out whether or not Port St. Joe
was still on the map. And that is
why your paper is a day late.
A number of news items were
omitted due-to lack of space, for
which we apologize.

torists violating the state law pro-
hi-biting cars passing school buses
.-topped- for discharging or loading
children.
A school bus carries the most
precious cargo on the highway, said
Davis. and it should be given thL-
maximum protection. He added that
all patrolmen have been instructed
to crack down ont any motorist who
fails to stop and wait for a school
bus to discharge or take on its pas-
se ngers.

aid in this campaign by carefully
complying with the law.

City Prepares For Worst,

But Gets Only High
Winds and Rain


Port St. Joe .was battened down
Thursday and preparations made to
weather out the tropical hurricane
that had swept across South Flor-
ida causing millions of dollars in
damage, entered, the Gulf at Fort
Myers and headed northward in
our direction. U. S. weather bu-
reau advisories stated that the, cen-
ter of the storm would hit North-
-west Florida somewhere between
Apalachicola and. Pensacola, with
predicted wind velocities of better
than 100 miles per hour.
iSchools were dismissed at noon
yesterday and the school buildings
thrown open for the benefit of those
who felt unsafe in their homes. Ap-
proximately forty persons, mainly
from the beach areas, were cared
for at the school by the Red, Cross.
The St. Joe Paper Company mill
Was .closed down at 4 p. m. yester-
day and a considerable number of
its employes and their families, ap-
parently unaccustomed to Florida
hurricanes, left for inland, points to
wait out the storm.
Show windows of practically all
business establishments in the city
were boarded up, as well as win-
dows of a large number of private
residences, signs were removed
from. stores, and the populace laid
in supplies of candle's for use, if
the power supply failed-and then
everybody sat back to wait.
High winds, estimated at from
50 to 60 miles per hour, lashed at
the. city during late afternoon and
everyone thought, 'Well, here she
comes." But the clock ticked on.
Midnight passed, the estimated time
for the whirling mass of air to hit
this section. Nothing new was
added, and a concerted sigh of re-
lief went up. Old Mother Nature
had decided to s-pin her tropical top
off in another direction.
The city had electricity up until
9:30 last night and it was back on
early this morning, which speaks
well for Rich Porter's power com-
pany, for at times we are without
juice if someone sneezes real hard

LOSES FINGERTIPS WHILE
UNLOADING FUEL DRUMS
Billy Howell, MoMM 3/c, who is
with a Coast Guard unit at Miami,
arrived home Saturday on a 261d'ay
'sick leave after having the ends of
three fingers of his left hand cut
off.
Seems Billy was helping unload
oil drums from a ship to a lighter
at Dry Tortugas, off the south tip
of Florida, when his fingers got
caught between an oil drum and the
ship's side. "I looked down and saw
the tips of my fingers going down
through the water," said Billy.
It took 13 hours to get him to the
naval hospital at Key West, where
he was given a blood transfusion
and where he remained for 15 days.

Disappearing Lake
Is Again In News

Mother Nature is repeating one
of her most amazing magic acts, the
disappearance of a 15-aere, basin of
,vater. 4-5 feet deep,, adjacent to
Lake lamonia IS miles north: of"
rallahaissee.
Lake lamonia itself, 10 miles long
,.nd running fromri a half mile, to
a'ree miles wide, would also be
doomed to oblivion except for the
act that L.onu county commission-
ers, assisted by the state game and
fresh water commission, erected a
huge dam in 1939 to avoid such a
calamity.
The water in the basin started
disappearing about three weeks ago
and today nothing remains but a
small .pond in the deep pit. Records
eveal that the basin "disappeared"
n 1910, 1917, 1934 and again in
1946. Explanation of the phenome-
non is still in the guesswork stage.
Regardless of the cause, the. deep
basin has disappeared, leaving row-
joats stranded 30 feet high on solid,
iagged. earthen pinnacles that were
deeply hidden beneath the water's
surface three weeks ago.
Today the earthen dam stand
guard between Lake lamonia and
oblivion. It is 1150 -feet long, 150

ialiaiarir nn n


feet 'broad at the. base, 12 feet wide
at the top and 20 feet high, isolat-
ing the main ,body of the lake from
the sinkhole portion. Fish in the
lake are .protected from disappear-
ance by a "fish fence" erected on
top of the dam which prevents the
overflow from carrying them into
the mystery of the disappearing
basin.
State geologists scoff at state-
ments that "it goes out with a roar"
and that a marked fe.nce-rail once
dropped in the disappearing waters
came up in the St. Johns River 200
miles away, but the fact remains
that today Mother Nature is again

Our Country Right or Wrong

END OF THE BOOM IN SIGHT
Business Week recently ran an article whose
title, "U. S. Exports: End of a Boom," outlines
a situation of rapidly growing economic im-
portance to this country and the world.
Since the end of the war, we have been sell-
ing goods abroad at a tremendous rate. Efu-
rope presents an insatiable appetite for the
products of America, and so, to a lesser extent,
do the other continents. That appetite has niot
slackened in the slightest-but, even so, our
exports are now declining in both volume and
value, and everyone expects they will drop
drastically in the future.
The reason for this is obvious. Ameritan ex-
ports have lately been leaving our ports at the
rate of $16,000,000,000 a year. On the other
hand, our imports have been at the rate of only
$6,000,000,000 a year. This means that the bal-
ance of the world has been operating at a
deficit of $10,000,000,000 a year in foreign
trade with us alone. And it means that its dol-
lar credits have been running out alarmingly
fast, and that the bottom of the pile is defi-
nitely in sight.
England, of course, presents the most publi-
cized example of the trend. The American loan
of $3,750,000,000 was expected to last through
1950, and possibly longer. When Britain made
her last withdrawal recently, the balance re-
maining was a mere $400,000,000. That is only
enough to last her a few months at her latest
rate of purchasing, and in spite of the fact that
this week she let go of some of her hoarded
gold, she is cutting her purchases in the U. S.
to the bare bone. Furthermore, she is having
to follow the same policy with other countries,
in that intricate currency agreements now in
effect force her to convert pounds into dollars,

more belt-tightening, and a lower standard oil ............. T
living. The newest British ration cut is an in-l O EiIi
dication of what is happening. The effect at
home will be the loss of many billion dollars
worth of business.
Who will be hit hardest by the sag in ex-
ports? The answer to that may be the farmer,
since every county is making desperate efforts
to become as nearly self-sustaining as possible
in food.
Some machinery people have reported seri-
Ous Llmrps in foreign sales. But, by and large,
'urope will use every possible penny for heavy
industrial equipment. The only hope for Euro-
pean economic salvation is to rebuild her shat-
tered basic industries, and she can't get the T E B G G E S T A LU ES

There is always the possibility of more 3.39 Gel.2

of the aid.we have given so far.
Perhaps the most remarkable proposal yet
made is Mr. Bevin's suggestion that the United
States divide up the Fort Knox gold in the in-
terest of world recovery. One American
spokesman observed that this would involve
giving the gold away and then buying it back. UPT
It hardly seems a feasible idea.
At any rate, exports are on the way down.

The end of the world, when it arrives, will
find some people busy telling the rest of t it
human race what is the matter with them.

The .development of Port St. Joe depends, in
the long run, upon what the people of Port
St. Joe do with their surplus cash.

A new automobile, license tag
sales record is being set every
mo11th in Florida, and the state m~o-
tor vehicle department is getting
ready for the state's first million-
tag year in 1948.

partme-nt for the first eight months
of 1947 totaled $14;550,648, which is
$2,841,457 above the yield of the en-
tire 12 months of 1946.
A total of 684,000 tags were sold
in 194,6, and it is estimated 800,000
will be sold this year. Steel and
paint have been ordered for a mil-
lion tags -for next year. The 1948
plates, with yellow numbers on a
black background, will go on sale
December 1.
Automobile sales are increasing.
too. In 1946 the department handled
346,Q00 title transfers. It expects to
handle 450,000 this year. But that
doesn't mean there will be 450,000
new cars in Florida, as some titles
will change hands several times.

Bulletins received, this morning

Rain continues to fall in Port St.
