HELP PROMOTE PO-RT ST. JOE BY JOINING THE JUNIOR CHAMBER OF COMMERCE THE STAR OFFICIAL NEWSPAPER OF GULF COUNTY The Home Newspaper of Northwest Florida's Future'Industrial Center VOLUME X PORT ST. JOE, FLORIDA, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 1947 NUMBER 51 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.

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 Street-Second Avenue from city limits of Port St. .lee running South approximately ,385 feet, thence East approximately 500 feet.

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. These projects are the first of a number which will extend over a period of years, eve-ntually giving Gulf county a modern inter-linked system of hard-surfaced roads.

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 (Continued on page 7) 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. -------__ Lanes Visiting Mr. and Mrs. John Lane. of Co- lumbia.

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 r`'^""U-""""^"^^^-8~--- -u2 FOR GUA Fresh Yard Eggs Fresh Vegetables, ( ARANTEED Fresh Dressed Chickens i Groceries and Meats SALT WATER FISH DAILY RICH'S CURB MARKET Phone 306 Port St. Joe, Fla.

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, USED TO IT I married man." in many cases even when purchases are- not Attorney: "Is this the first time ------- made in America. that you have ever been cross- California has the most exten- What is true of England is true of much of examined?" sive private reforestraition work in- the world.

Receipts of the motor vehicle de- 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.

The two scrim- mages with Wewahltchka showed the re-sult of this training, the Sharks downing Wewa both times. The team ha's a good lineup for 'irst string, but Tommy Owens has been injured and will not be able to play in the opening game with nahiibridge next Friday. This puts Bill Stafford. one of the first string ends, in at left tackle, moving Phil- lip Chatham up to first string, right end. At left end we have Bill Traweek and at right tackle, Bernard Prid- teon. Benny Elder is at left guard and Charles Smith at right guara, with Claude Cowart in the center slot. Buster Owens shines at quar- terback, with Riandall Brady hold- ing down left halfback, Gene Far- ris at right half, and Jack Ricket- son at fullback.
