Many Motorists Driving
With Expired Licenses

State Highway Patrolman Olin
Davis informed us late yesterday
afternoon that but 1,682 'drivers' 11-
. censes and 352 chauffeur's licenses
- -h a- been i --.i in Gulf county:
'Last year there were appro;xl-
-niately 2500 licenses issued," said
:Davis, "so it would appear that
there are a lot of people driving to-
d'ay with expired licenses, thereby
leaving themselves liable to ar-
rest."
The deadline for securing a 1.-
,cense was Ttlesday midnight. Now
those who have failed to renew
their licens-es must pay a delin-
quent fee of $1 or take a very stiff
road examination.

New Auto Liability
Law Now In Effect

Reckless drivers in Florida now
;have a new legal barrier in their
'way, for. effective October 1, any
Driver who is found at fault in an
accident causing personal injury or
damage in excess of $50 must prove
hi s .financial ability to pay dan,
'ages from future accidents or- lose
Shi:s. driver's. license.
Three ways of proving his ability
to pay are left open. He may obtain
a liability insurance policy of $5000
for injury or death to one person,
$10,000 for injury or death to. two
persons and $1000 for property
damage; he may deposit $10.000
with the state treasurer, or he may
present proof that he has an unen-
Scumbered capital of $40,000.
The new financial responsibility
law was passed by the-1947 legisla-
ture, and affaots non-residents of
Florida as well a's residents, thru
a, reciprocal agreement on license
suspensions.

Hope To Have 4500 Boys On Roster

At a meeting held last week in
Wewahitchlka of scouters of Gulf
and Bay counties, a program to ex-
tend scouting in the Bay-Gulf dis-
trict to 4500 boys of Scout and Cub
age was announced and an appeal
issued for 50 volunteer workers to
aid in developing s'ucth a program.
Plans to inaugurate a school within
the district to train these needed
leaders, was endorsed.

He cut our power off again
Wednesday, but he did have the
courtesy to tell us about it be-'

o'clock Tuesday night in order to'
make up for the time we were
going to lose and so The
Star comes out on time in spite
of Rich Porter.
He claims he had to replace a
vital pole somewhere in our
neighborhood that had been dam-
aged by the recent storm.
Incidentally, he's 'now on the
blacklist of Manager McCullom of
the Port Theater and all of those
rabid ball fans who missed the
game between the Dodgers and
the Yanks Wednesday afternoon.



Public Urged To

Greater Use of

Postal Services


Next Week Is National Letter Writ-
ing Week, and Postmaster Dralke
Wants An Avalanche of Mail

The postoffice department has
designated October 12 to 18 as Na-
tional Letter Writing Week and as
a period for urging the public, in
a nationwide campaign,-,to a greater
use of the postal services. featuring
the advantages and uses of first-
class mail and fts related services.
Postmaster H. A. Drake states
that first-class mail receives pref-
erential treatment all through the
.-ervice, being handled before manll
cf other classes', and is forwardable
or returnable without additional
postage being required. A first-
class (sealed) letter .has a higher
prestige and more effectiveness
than mail of other classes. 'How-
ever, in instances of emergency,
importance or special occasion, mail
of the second, third and fourth
classes sent as special delivery is
accorded expeditious handling. This
service is suggested for important

Sharks Drop First
Tilt To Bainbridge

In a game featured by many pen-
alties and good defensive play, the
St. Joe Sharks lost the opening
football game of the season to Bain-
bridge, Ga.. last Friday by an. S-0
score, although they outplayed; their
heavier opponents.
Bainbridge scored the lone touch-
down in the first quarter by a sus-
tained drive which culminated in
a reverse 'by Reynolds from about
the three-yard line. The attempted
kick for point wa.s blocked by St.
Joe's center, Claude Cowart.,
In the final quarter Bainbridge
scored a safety, which brought the
score to s-0, where it remained un-
til the final gun.
Several nice gains were regis-
tered by the Sharks, but they were
unable to put together sufficient
yardage for a score.
The play of .the entire St. Joe
team would seem to indicate that
be,;ore t'he season ends it will be
a team to be reckoned with, ant
should be supported whoieleearrelw
i)y the entire coirirnunlity.
The Sharks trek to Apalachicola

Garrison Finish
A garrison finish is the result of
a brilliant climactic effort on the
part of the performer and has its
origin in the racing style of the late
Edward H. (Snapper) Garrison, fa-
mous jockey. His favorite trick was
to hang back during the early part
of the race and come through in
the home stretch in a burst of
speed. The term was earned by
him in 1886 in the Eastern Handicap
at Sheepshead Bay when he pushed
Dutch Roller from the rear to win
by a nose.

COMMUNITY CO-OPERATION
One of the finest examples of community
co-operation we have seen in the ten years
we have been in Port St. Joe is that of the
Juitior Chamber of Commerce and the high
school getting together for the erection of an
athletic stadium on the school property near
the Centennial Building.
The school officials are providing the site of
five acres and the Jaycees will fence the area
and erect a grandstand. Proceeds from school-
sponsored events will go to the high school
athletic department and proceeds from events
sponsored by the Jaycees will go into the Jay-
cee treasury or divided with athletic organiza-
tions.. Upkeep of the field will come out of
Jaycee proceeds.
This setup will give the community an afh-
letic park that probably would not be forth-
coming for many years, especially if it had to
wait on the accumulation of funds in the school
building fund. In addition, it may be possible
to persuade some of the minor league baseball
teams from the north to come here for spring
training. -- ...

While we thought it was a good
idea, Postmaster Drake stated em-
phatically that there would be no
week-end specials, but that lihe
would like to see the St. Joe office
snowed under next week with ani

"The fault common to all," said
Drake, "is to put off writing the

is long overdue. Many acquaint-


OBSERVE FIRE PREVENTION WEEK
By direction of President Truman, next week
will be observed as Fire Prevention Week.
In his proclamation, the president invited all
business, labor, civic, religious and charitable
groups and organizations, and all.agencies of
the press, radio and the moving picture indus-
try, to co-operate fully "with the objective of
initiating a fire prevention campaign continu-
ing throughout the year."
The word continuingi" goes to the heart of
the matter. It will serve no purpose if we think
of fire prevention for a single week and then
promptly forget it. The officially designated q
week must simply be a starting point. You
might combine this week with MIr. Drake's
Letter Writing Week, which is, also next week.
and write letters reminding your friends that
it is National Fire Prevention Week, thus
killing two weeks with one stone.' Every-
thing, will help, for the fight against one of
the worst destroyers of life and property must
go on unal)baeted.
According to tlhe national board of fire un-
derwriters, United States fire losses nay ex-
ceed $700,000,000 this year-the highest in our
history. This is twice the destruction caused
by the burning of San Francisco, and more
than three times the devastation wreaked by
the German air force on Britain in any single
year. Deaths by fire will probably exceed
10.000 and may also set a new and ghastly
record.
Those figures alone should make us all sit up
and'take notice of the fact that loss by fire
has become a grave emergency. And every
one of us should remember that fire respects
no one-your home, your life, may be taken
next.

On Veterans' Housing, property.


In an attempt to clear up con-
fusion in Port St. Joe, Ronald
Brugh, commander of the local Vet-
erans of Foreign Wars post, listed
the following federal regulations as
they apply to veterans buying or
renting homes or housing accom-
modations:
1. All newly constructed homes
and apartments must be held for
sale or rent to veterans or their
families for at least 30 days after
completion.
2. Builders or owners are re-


quired to place a sign, in a con-
':,picuous place on or near a new
housing unit G.ffered for sale. The
sign must indicate rent or sales
price, the fact that the dwelling is
being held for veterans, and the
name and address of the person au-
thorized, to sell or rent the unit.
These regulations, supplied' by
the office of the housing expediter,
are still in effect and can be ne-
forced, even though violations ai
widespread, points out Brugh.
Commander Brugh listed three
exceptions in which veterans pref-
erence does not apply. They are:
1. Sale of housing units for in-
vestment purposes. However, the
buyer must comply with veteran
preference regulations in renting
the individual accommodations.
2. Dwellings rebuilt because of

Oil Shortage Seen
Despite Peak Output

The 'American Petroleum Insti-
tute reports that although the in
dustry is refining more oil than it
did' in the peak wartime year of
.1945, temporary shortages of fuel
oils and gasoline may be expected
iu certain localities, particularly
middle -western.
The, middle west is the most crti-
cal area, the API' said. becausec
transportation problems are inten-
sified there and the demand is
hiis-b. Farm consumption of gaso
line, caused by increased use. of
tractors, has doubled in the mid-
lands.
Other points on which the insti-
tute 'summarized follow:
Demand for oil products no-w Is
greater than in any year during the
war, when military nee-ds w e r c
"tremendous."
The industry is refining more
than 5,100,000 barrels of crude oil
a day compared wi lt the average
of the peak -wartime year 1 1945
of 4,711,000 barress a day, and with
the pre-war average of 3,861,000
barrels a day in 1941.
Ability of the industry to expand
refining and transportation facili-
ties quickly is limited by many
shortages, including steel and other
materials.


River Development

(Continued from Page 1)
can move out to our seaports, and
that freight from all parts of the
world can move up into our inland
territory."
As Rep. Pace pointed out, "freight
destined for every part of the world
call move out to our seaports"--
and Port St. Joe, 'with it's. unsur-
passed harbor which ships can en-
Ster under their own power, without
the necessity of a tug, is the logi-
cal seaport to serve this great new
river development. With couple.
tion of the entire project, we can
expect to see vessels of all nations
lined up at our docks waiting to
take on cargoes thkt will be brought,
here through the intracoastal wa-
terway 'system on huge barges
pushed by heavy Diesel-operatie
tugs.
The Jim Woodruff Dam will be a
concrete structure and earlh em-
-bankment rising to a maximum
height of 70 feet above the river
bed. It will 'be about 6000 feet long
at the top and will back water iup
to, a point about 18 miles above
Bainbridge on the Flint River and
about 57 miles to the proposed up-
per Columbia Dam site on the Chat-
tahoochee River near Columbia,
Ala. It will also provide a, lake
covering an area of over 50,000
acres which will offer recreational
facilities, to thousands of people.
The power house structure at the
dam will be about 260 feet long and
140 feet wide and will provide for
the installation of three 10,000-kilo-
watt generating units to provide
cheap electric power which :..
badly needed for the industrial de-
velopment of this section.
The Apalachicola River below
lthe dam will be improved for nine-
foot navigation 'bly open-channel
methods, while the upper Columbia
nultiple-purpose dam and the Fort
Benniinig navigation dam, along
with the diam at Chattahoochee.
will provide a canalized channel in
the Chattahoochee River to Colum-
bus and in the Flint River to Baii-
ridge.
Yes, with completion of ttil un-
der-lakingg, Port St. Joe can 1.o;,:
forVward to becoming one .of the
leading ports on the Gulf as far s
exports .ald imports are concern; d.
thus ,bringing to fruition the d-i'..mm
of those early settlers of oid SL.
SJoseph who, back in 1840 built the
first railroad in Florid.a to connect
the ancient city with the inland wa-
terway.in order that the products
of the interior might find an outlet
to the sea.
