HELP PROMOTE PORT ST. JOE BY JOINING THE JUNIOR CHAMBER OF I COMMERCE -.~ \ THE STAR The Home Newspaper of Northwest Florida's Future Industrial Center ! OFFICIAL ( NEWSPAPER OF GULF COUNTY I VOLUME XI PORT ST. JOE, FLORIDA, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1947 NUMBER 2 First Election Under New Law Freeholders of County Will Go To Polls November 4 to Vote On School Levy Registered voters of Gulf county who pay taxes on either real or per- sonal property will be asked on No- vember 4 to vote a 31/2-mill tax on the total assessed valuation of the county for tahe, support of schools in the county. 'It will be the first time that 'tax- payers will be asked to vote a mill- age -tax under the new school la'w which consolidated all school spe- cial tax districts into one. In fact, it will be the first time in the history of the -county that such an election will be held by au- thority of the school board for this purpose, which'will be county-wite in scope. The election itself is gau- thorized' by the legislature. Tom Owens, county superinten- dent of schools,, believes there will 'e considerable advantage in op- eration of the school system under the new setup, which provides for the election of but three trustees for the entire county. The three new trustees, who will be named at the November 4 bal- loting, will be elected to serve terms of two years each. They will take office next 'January 1, the ex- piration date of the terms of the present trustees. T'he new law re- quires 'that no two members of the three shall come from the same -sliKh'ol board' district. Bamby Bread Is Now Available In St. Joe The Woods Baking Company of Panama City, which- has just com- pleted -one of the most modern bakeries on the Gulf coast, this week placed the nationally famed Bamby bread on sale in Port St. Joe, as well as a coinplete line of cakes and pastries. The baking company is empha- sizing the fact that Bamby bread comes direct from the ovens to the food' dealers' counters the same day it is baked, thus .being fresher and tastier. The ovens of the Woods Baking Company have a capacity of 3000 loaves of bread per hour.

The Apalachicolians also made their score in the third quarter on a pass from the 10-yard line over the goal line-for a touchdown, .but were unable to convert.

JOE mm -AA0= Fish Planted to Replace Those Killed By Storm The state game and fresh water fish commission this week planted more than 15,000 fingerlings in the Apalaohicola River and its nearby tributaries to counteract a serious loss of game fish suffered during the Septenmber hurricane, an eX- amiple of which was cited in The Star a few weeks back when L. E. Jones and Andy Owens found thou- sands of dead fish floating on tihe surface in a stream off the east end of Lake Wimico. It is estimated by lishery biolo- gists that 90 per cent of the fish in the Aphlachicola River were killed when the storm drove salt water up the river for more than 10 miles. Baby bream, bass, crappies, sliad and speckled perch from the .state batcher'y near Wewahitchka were planted in waters 10 to 20 miles north of Apalachicola in Sol Creek. Cedar Creek, Chipola Creek and Johnson's Creek. Doc Can Really 'Fly' Glenn Boyles, in his "Tattler" tnhis week. says: "I flew over (on I the ground) to Apalachicola with ! Doc Norton to see the football Sgaike -. Which reminds us of the time a bunch of army and navy brass hats came in here on a re- connaisance and were entertained at B. B. Conklin's cabin out there on Wetappo Creek. Doc was the lead-off man in the procession and he got so far ahead of the parade that when we reached the ferry at Oversts'eet we had to wait ten min- utes for the rest of the caravan to catch up with us (and this was 'way .back during the war when 35 mph was supposed to be patriotic). When the slow-pokes arrived at the ferry, Joe Sharit remaried: "Doc, you were in quite a hurry, weren't you?" And Doc, the darned hound, turned to us and said: "Smitty, I told you that you were driving too fast!" '' The doile-crosser!

The spoken word barely asserts; the pointed word thoroughly convinces. The spoken word Is lost; the printed word remain. Our Country Right or Wrong INTO THE FOLD Perhaps it was face-saving that made Sena- tor Pepper qualify his week-end espousal of the Marshall Plan. It would have been much more effective and altogether convincing had he unequivocally recanted his spokesmanship for Soviet Russia. Senator Pepper unconditionally pledged his support to the IMarshall Plan for rehabilitation of non-Communist western Europe. This is wholly contrary to the position he took against the plan last month. Evidently Senator Pepper learned a lot of things about his pro-Russian statements from his recent trip around the home bailiwick. Somehow the senator satisfies himself that his current support of the Marshall Plan is not an about-face from his condemnatory stand on the program in August. The point is, however, that he no longer balances it on the Soviet scales. Even though he has not quite purified him- self of the Red tide which for a time seem- ingly had engulfed his reasoning. Floridians will welcome him back into the fold where thinking is not through Russia to the United States but from the United States toward Rus- sia. And that has nothing to do with whether they like the Marshall Plan or not.-Miami Herald. FIRE HAZARDS WILL INCREASE For quite some time now the Port St. Joe fire siren has not sounded except to inform us of the noon hour, but the approach of cold weather will bring an increase in many fire hazards, particularly in homes where heating and electrical equipment will be working at capacity, and soon our volunteer fire laddies will be hopping out .of warm beds at 2 o'clock in the morning to hustle and save the dwellings of their friends and neighbors from the rav- ages of old demon fire.

All of 'em with' a lantern-as if it wuz hard to ifind-and, promising' -relief soon as they kin locate the culprit or trubble or they git elected. Pref- erably git elected. I bin sorta looking' into economics too, and high prices, and you know I deeduce it ain't so much 'how- come prices is so; high," it's "how- come they ain't higher." Our govt. has. tangled itself up so much in bizness-squanderin' our RECOVERY DOESN'T COME OVERNIGHT With the situation what it is today all over the world, it seems strange to hear somebody speaking of any particular section being bene- fited by the war. Yet that ii what Charles Tay- lor, economist for the Federal Reserve Bank in Atlanta, is saying about the South. He is saying that the war may prove a boon to this section of the country, insofar as it has tended to make the people "realize" the value of their resources. It may have demonstrated to the South, he adds, the great potentialities for progress and growth in this section of the country. We agree with the economist that there may be an element of psychology in the fact that the people of the South have not pushed ahead any further than they have. There is a great dif- ference between understanding, knowing and "realizing," as he puts it, and it may be that the "realization" has been exactly what we down here have been. lacking. It is often some little something in the life of an individual or a group of people which brings on a "realiza- tion" which changes an entire course of events. Such was the case with the peoples of Europe during the 19th century, when a great wave of "nationalism" swept over the continent. If it has been a war that may bring on this favorable reaction in the South, so also was it a great conflict which set this section back half a century or so in its progress. The Southland has had to rebuild itself from the ashes of America's great civil strife, the War Between the' States. In doing so, it has had to overcome problems which have been both economic and psychological. It has been difficult to differ- entiate between the two. And that serves to emphasize current condi- tions on the continent of Europe, which in a sense are analogous to those which confronted the South following the War Between the States. This is particularly true insofar as they relate to the length of time that, it will take for postwar reconstruction. In Europe, the problems also are of an economic as well as a psychological nature and, likely as not, the latter are the more weighty of the two con- siderations. Incentive has been the principal psychological force lacking among the Euro- peans. , Whereas it has taken the South all of nearly a century to start on the upward climb of progress, the 16-nation report wlich was ren- dered in response to the Marshall Plan, en- visages a recovery by 1952. America's southern states had many more factors operating in their favor than have the war-ridden nations of Europe. That is something which many peo- ple fail to "realize." Recovery in Europe is going to be a long- haul, and nothing like a short-haul of several years. It is going to take hard work on the part of the people there, and more than that, a psychological rehabilitation that will pro- duce these arduous labors, granted, of course, there does not come along another war to make all of their visions a forlorn hope.-Jack- sonville Times-Union. l-mIftw" "Copyrighted Material Syndicated Content w Available from Commercial News Providers" m _ - o N Oo ____ - * - mm M 0tM __ - du I* -- - a n - a _w * 4db 40 -OWNWO~ mazuma frum here to yonder-it's snarled and gummed up the ma- chinery.
