HELP PROMOTE PORT 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 XI PORT ST. JOE, FLORIDA, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 1947 NUMBER 6 Public Is Badly Disappointed In 'Seminole' Show Top Brass Pleased With Operation,, But Spectators Didn't Like 'Imaginary' Troops Army and navy big 'shots taking part in "Exercise Seminole" on the beach west of Beacon Hill last Sun- day and Monday pronounced the flp- eration an unqualified, success, but John Q. Public, who ,was extended an invitation at the last minute to view the operation, 'was sadly dis- appointed. According to advance publicity put out by the public relations of- ficials, troops, tanks and trucks would' pour forth from landing ves- sels and secure a beachhead in the face of "enemy" opposition. But such was not the case. The troops which were supposed to dash thru tlie surf were strictly "Imaginary," Sand the armored equipment was not discharged because the salt wa- ter might gum up the machinery and cause trouble on the 250-mile drive (back to Fort Sam Houston, Texas. No large navy vessels took part in the operation, "due to lack of personnel to man them for the ma- neuver," said navy officials, and, so smaller vessels represented battle- shifs,' and cruisers with fire from them being laid do-xwn by records played, over a loud-speaker- system. The landing vessels had: to land the mythical troops because, said a high officer "we just haven't got I an infantry division available." But two full infantry divisions are on hand in the United States, he ex- plained. The token force of "enemy" troops. wearing weird green uil- forms 'with red-tiplped s-hirt collars, were armed with full-size inflated rubber tanks, field guns and other- equipment. Moose Plan For Big Day Nov. 11 Will Hold Turkey Shoot and Bar- becue for Public At Cen- tennial Field The Loyal 0-rder of Moose of Portl St. Joe are planning a big time for Armistice Day, November 11, at Centennial Field, including a turkey shoot starting at 11 a. m. and continuing throughout the day -er-and a big barbecue, to both of which events the public is invited. A large crowd is expected to at- ten.d both events, including expert marksmen who will be expecting to take home a fat gobbler or two. A large number of people from sur- 'ounding cities will also be pres- ent to join in the fun. It is. pointed out by local Moose (or is it Mice?) that while this is not the first barbecue inor turkey shoott that has been held, in these parts, you can bet your bottom dol- lar it is going to be one of the best ever staged here. Visit In Georgia Mrs. Foy Scheffer, IJr., and son spent last week in Bainbridge, Ga.,' visiting her parents, Mr. and Mrs. C. R. Dodson. -------- ^E ----- -- Have Guests From Alabama Mr. and Mrs. Joe Brooks have as ARMISTICE DAY DUTY America's best observance of Armistice Day next Tues- cia will be a renewed determination that this peace shall not be lost by moral inertia and lack of vision. We have a covenant to keep with the heroic dead of World Wars I and II. If we are to prove in any wise worthy of them, \ve must see to it with all the strength of our national will that their courage and devotion shall not have been in vain. Theirs was the task of saving freedom and justice from a brutal foe; ours the duty of establishing a world order in which those vital values will be secure and in which it will not be necessary to sacrifice the flower of our young manhood generation after generation. The Armistice of 29 years ago turned out to be merely a lull between two tragic storms. It would have been otherwise had we then been vigilant and true to the ideals for which our boys fought and died. Instead, we as a peo- ple lapsed into indifference, forsook statesmanly leader- ship and left a supreme issue to blind and quibbling poli- ticians. So we lost the peace which had been so bravely won and foredoomed ourselves to another and more tragic world war. Have we learned our lesson? The signs of the hour would seem to so indicate, but loyalty to the dead and the living alike bids us be watchful and resolute to the end.- Li'l Abner Theme Sharks Defeat Of Senior Annual Auk Creator of Comic Strip Charac- ter To Attend Parties and Provide Sketches Theme of the sim, class' annual this year will 'be "Li'l Abner," and to make the completed, book carry an authentic air the class has writ- ten to Al Capp, creator of the comic strip character, asking him for an autograp-hedi picture for the annual and also requesting drawings ap- propriate to the occasion ['or the fly-leaves of the book.

Stream Pollution Becoming Hazard, Says Health Board Raw Sewage and Industrial Waste Main Causes; St. Joseph Bay Indicated As Polluted With the large increase of popu- lation and industrial development in Florida, stream pollution has be- co.m.e an acute health, economic and welfare hazard, according to the current issue of the state board of health's official publication, "Flor- ida Health Notes," which has just come to the desk of the editor of The Star. And' because of this, the- state health department is pushin'S. a limited stream pollution abate- ment program. The entire issue of the publica- tion i's devoted to pollution prob- lems confronting the state and the help that is needed to correct the condition. David, B. Lee, chief sanitary en- gineer for the state health depart- ment, points o&tt that pollution will increase unless, further steps are taken to control the wastes caused by such progress. "Our public drinking water supplies are becon. ing grossly polluted," he stated, "our recreation facilities are being diminished, and our shellfish-grow- ing areas are being eliminated." The publication goes, on to state that less than half the people in Florida have domestic water avail- able that ha's been treated in' any way, and as a c sequence "over ' mIillion Flor id~l'' consume un- treated ground, water." Regarding the big need for sewer- age treatment and disposal, the pub- lication declares that "nearly every community of any size has failed to provide itself with adequate faciii- ties for disposal of domestic sexw- I .A. gaI bage and, rubish. In many cases, storm sewerage is. conspicu- ous by its absence." As a direct result of the daily discharge of millions and- millions of gallons of raw or inadequately treated sewerage anid industrial wastes, 232 square miles of com- mercial shellfish-growing beds have been condemned by the state board of health. A map in the booklet showing polluted areas in the state includes Continued on page 8) GOT COW OR HOG TROUBLE?

The Independent-Herald (Yuba City, Calif.) : "There is something frightening about Pres!- dent Truman's appeal for food conservation through self-denial, if we take -the request seriously. In a country so abundant in produc- tivity that we can dump produce by the thou- sands of tons simply to keep it off the market, where we can recklessly destroy pur resources in a thousand ways, it' is strange that the presi- dent must ask for conservation."

Me abbe it kin be squeezed in 'sonewheres and will ketch on. I'am calling' it "no chaos dcay." On that day it'll be quiet-nolbuddy'll break out in a lather that sunipin's gotta be dun afore sundown or deesaster will' overtake us. If there's one thing in this land-of-the-4free that we has more of, but which don't seem wo be crampii1' our style too much, it's "threatened chaos." Chaos is a-, hangin' over our head like a hawk over the barnyard. Folks go to bedi feerful of what'll be on the radeeo at 7 next morning . Stummick urcers and irritated dis- positions cunm next. And enybuddy thinking' that stumniick ulcers ain't our national afiflickshun, let him hesitate fo'r one halt a second at a red stoplight. The horn toots fruni behind will tell him. My new "No Chaos Day," iffen we could arrange to have it fall on eleckshun day, I kinda bigger the quietness mite help. Enybuddy no, endorsing' this idee, he mite drop in to see Doc Norton or Doc War," -2 to 1 it's hi's stuninick. , Yours with the low dowit, JO SERRA. ----_ Every ads carries a message- a message that will save money.

D. to fortify against sea rovers and to improve condi- tions. They were to teach the art of agriculture to the natives who had been dependent upon fishing for their livelihood. These Breton and Norman monks crossed the two mainland breeds, Norman Brindle Froment du Leon, to produce Guern- sey cattle. Isolated on the island from importation of other cattle, the monks, by patience, knowledge and selection, created a superior ani- mal. 4-K- Knowledge of Sugar First clear knowledge to reach the Western world of sugar as a product obtainable frdm cultivated plants was the account brought back to Europe by the Greek soldiers of Alexander the Great oi the reed grown in India for its juice which, they said, was sweeter than honey. Stream Pollution (Continued .from page 1) St. Joseph Bay, as well as the bays at Panama City and Pen'sacola, and waters adjacent to Carrabelle and Apalachicola. Another health and econom!- aspect of stream pollution pointed out is the fact that millions of dol- lars are spent in 'the state ror rec- reation, "yet there are thousands and thousands of acres of Floriia water so polluted as to render them unfit for swimming, safe boating, fishing and other recreational fa- cilities. But one .minor epidemic of any filth-bosrne disease could dis- suade a tremendous number of visitors from coming to Florida for years." :See i for bargains in stoves and usedfurniture.
