Three Industries Seek Florida Sites Inquiries Brought by State's Adver- tising Campaign Turned Over To Cities Inquiries as to possible sites for a new $9,000,000 kraft paper mill and an $8,000,000 manufacturing in- dustry have been turned over to Florida cities tby the state adver- tising committee. It wasn't stated just what the "manufacturing industry" was, but it looks like a good thing for the Port St. Joe Junior Chamlber of Commerce to look into. We have one of the finest ports on the Gulf, as well as rail facilities, that should be of interest to any manufacturing concern. It would be quite a feather in the Jaycee chapeau if they could induce such a concern to locate here. A '":,ull'.- r o .- 'il. been issued by the commission to communities throughout ,the state on proposals of "two nationally known' engi- neers" to buy a chemical manulac- turing plant in Florida. All three inquiries, it is stated, came as a result of the state's $500.- 000 national advertising campaign. The commission, aftter.checking the financial responsibility of the in- quiries, relays the' requests for in-" formation to cities, towns, transpor- tation and utility companies. DR. S. B.

Ed Ball and Pepper To Spar Again Over Operation of F. E. C. Arguments Will Be Heard Before ICC In Washington On January 7 With Senator Claude Pepper, champion of the Atlantic Coastline, in one corner, and Ed Ball, man- aging executor of the Florida du- Pont interests ini the other, the battle over operation of the Flor- ida East Coast Railway will go into another round before the interstate commerce commission in Washing- ton next January 7. At the forthcoming hearing ar- guments will be heard only on tes- timony already in the record, and no netw testimony Will be permitted. When the FEC went into bank- ruptcy early in the '30's, the du- Pont estate, under Ball's direction, bought controlling interest in .the road's bonds, which are registered to the St. Joe Paper Company. A plan was! offered, to the ICC for op- eration of the railwiay by the St. Joe Paper Company as an independent, Florida-controlled ioute. Instead of accepting this. plan, the ICC offered one of its own, which the dul*ont interests accepted, expecting to take over -operation, as well as own- ership, on January 1, 1945. An AC'L plan to take over the road was rejected,. But on instiga- tion of Senator Pepper, the hear- ing was ordered re-opened at a time when Pepper, who himself had suggested a -heaminig date-was,,at, the war crimes, trials In Germany.

In season at that time will be tur- key, squirrel and deer, and Game Warden Allen Legrone said yester- day that all game is plentiful this year. He warned hunters not to bring in any game. birds at this time, as the season on migratory game birds doesn't open until December. He pointed out that coot, which are in, abundance in this section, are game birds and are .protected by the fed- eral.government. .Some hunters, he stated are undef the impressionn that there is no 'closed season or limit on these birds. Shells seem plentiful in Port St. Joe at the present time, but the state game and freshly water .coir-, mission, after making a survey of the leading shotgun shell distribu- tors, announced that "despite ru- mors to the contrary, there will be. an adequate supply of shotgun shells to go around this season. They will be plentiful-but late and expensive.'" 'Distributors informed the com- mission that a shortage of copper, which is used in the manufacture of shell bases, has held up ship- ments, but indicated that adequate stocks would be available late in November. The higher price's will be caused by a "skyrocketing lead market." Although there will be "plenty of shells to satisfy every hunter in Florida." the game commission ex- pressed the fear that the high prices may cause many hunters to remain away from the fields and' woods 'this season.

Orange Growers Cutting Throats With GreenFruit By RUSSELL KAY From the inception of the citrus industry Florida, year after year, has practiced fraud and deceit in attempting to market oranges and grapefruit that are immature and unit for human consumption. As early as September, Florida fruit begins- to move to the north- ern markets. 'It is. as, green as grass and any consumer who buys it is doomed 'to disappointment. Matur- ity tests which were supposed to check this evil, fail miserably. The fruit is artificially colored and pret- tied up anld some of it looks quite tempting on the outside, but old Mother Nature hasn't finished her job, and the housewife finds to her orro'w that she had spent ner gooC money for a mess of garbage. All Florida is getting a .black eye from this' consistent slipping of worthless, inedible fruit. It knocks the bottom out of the market and messes up the whole deal, but somehow we have never been able to stop it. ISince the Florida citrus industry is' either too dumb oi too selfish to play square with the consumer, the worm a:t last has turned. National buyers, fed up with our lousy junk fruit. have finally decided to take action themselves. Why they have not done sto before this is hard to understand. Anyhow, th e Kroger grocery chain, an organization with thou- sands of retail outlets throughout the middle west, announces that it is through buying junk and would purchase no more Floridfa citrus. fruit that did not meet the United States Deparment of Agriculure Grade A standard. Ever since this announcement, Florida growers and shippers, who .have condemned green fruit ship- ments on one hand and indulged in the practice on the other, have been screaming their heads off. But it looks like they are going -to have to accept it whether they like it or not, for following the Kroger lead, other 'big chain buy- ers have adopted the same policy, and this week t h e Winn-Lovett chain announced that it was thru with fruit unfit to eat and would buy only Grade A oranges until such time as all fruit from Florida was edible. Other large chains, undoubtedly will .follow the same policy, and it' will prove to be one of the best things that ever happened to the Florida citrus industry. Florida produces the finest cit- rus. fruit in -the -world, and it is a criminal offense to offset this God- given' advantage by allowing a -few selfish growers and shippers to bring ill reliute on the entire citrus industry. The big. idea, of course, it to get (Continued on page. 10) We Have Just Received a Fine Line of SMALL LEATHER : ITEMS Billfolds, Change Purses, Men's Belts, Sam Browne , Belts, Wrist Watch Straps, @ * Dog Harnesses, Key-Kits * and Key Rings, Suitcase * - Handles, Truck Drivers' * Billfolds, Skate Straps. * We Also Stock a Full Line ot SAll Types of Shoe Polishes THE LEADER SHOE SHOP SWe Doctor Shoes, Heel Them, Attend Their Dyeing and Save Their Soles <'04>4I4'*O* :f'-#***-'i 'The Quacks" 1.19 Mama Duck waddles and quacks as she leads her brood.

Our Country C Right 8 r Wrong ARE WE TO CONTINUE BEING THE GOAT A press dispatch from \Washington in last Friday's Jacksonville Times-Union stated that "foreigners have $17,000.000,000 worth of gold, bank deposits, American securities and other long-term investments secreted in this coun- try. More than $10,000,000,000, or roughly two- thirds of this vast wealth belongs to citizen,. of principal European countries whose govern- ments are asking'U. S. taxpayers for a mini- mum of $16,000,000,000 through the Marshall Plan- The existence of this huge hoard was revealed today by commerce and treasury de- 1partment finance officers." The editor of The Star doesn't claim to be an expert economist, but we do try to keep abreast of the news, and it' looks to us like the governments of these countries should de- vise some means to chase these privately owned funds out of hiding and use it to help them- !selves instead of depending on the Unitedc States to pull them out of the hole they them- selves dug. ' Scarcity of commodities and skyrocketing ,of prices would indicate that we can't go onil Florida's Fishing Industry Big Asset Florida's commerciaT fishing in- holds opportunity for an extended development of processed products, the research and industrial division oof the Florida State Chamber of *Commerce states. Approximately 90,000,000 pounnas iof food fish and 22,000,000 pounds of shrimp and related fish were taken from Florida waters last year. In addition. 125,000,000 pounds of non-footi fish were also caught in Florida. 1.... 1n ' Most of Florida's. fish is eaten 'fresh and reaches the ultimate con- sunme- either iced or frozen. As a 'consequence, the principal fish pro- cessing activity in the state is the preparation of frozen fish and filets. A relatively new field for Flor- ida. and one presented for explora- tion, is that of canning and ron- cessing of specialties. Many type? of hnrs d'oeuvres and characteris- l tically Florida, items would com- mnand l a ieady and exclusive mar- k'et.

Streamlined production and d i's- tribution methods, more varied pi'o- cessing and state-wido -onilS V io methods can increase an d in- sure continuance of this important asourrce of income to Florida. the chamber concludes. Rail Value Increased First railroad in the United States was opened in 1830, reports a Twen- tieth Century fund survey. By 1890 net capitalization of the railroads of the country amounted to 72 billion dollars, while 4.0 years later it was 2 times as laree. feeding the world indefinitely. enough grain or anything else. We haven't ON TRIAL? A prominent American, John S. Knight, speaking before a group of advertising men in Chicago recently, had some very pertinent re- marks to make about our so-called capitalistic system. "There is a subtle campaign underway in this country." he said, "to discredit the press and render it less able to) defend minority rights. "P'erhaps we have failed to do a good selling job. just as I suspect the advertising profes- sion must confess that it has failed somehow to sell the capitalistic system to the people. "1, for one. growy exceedingly weary of hear- ing how the capitalistic system is on trial. On trial for what? lias any other system accoli- plished as much or provided better standards of living? "Wh\\ isn't socialism on trial in England or comminuism in Russia? "If capitalism is through, why are we asked to provide the food, the money and the tools to rebuild Europe? "Thoughtful Americans should be cLn guard against the insidious efforts beitig made to discredit a system that has been responsible for this nation's growth and progress." con- cluded Knight. No economic system is perfection, but it is a bit sickening to hear references made to our system beingg on trial," the implication being that if it should fail, it would be supplanted by communism or some other ism. What have they got that even comes close? Remember back in the days of the depres- sion when the government was recommending plowing under crops because they were in too abundant supply? Those same experts today are trying to "plow under" markets because the demand is too great. LEVY COUNTY PARK IS SOUGHT BY LAWMAKER Establishment or' Florida's 19th state park area at Manatee Springs in Levy county is being urged by Rep. D. P. McKenzie of Chieflanid. The state cabinet took the pro- posal under advisement alter hear- ing a request from the Florida Board of Forestry and Parks that 1,157 acres be purchased from the Patterson-McInni's Lumber Co. of Gulf Hammock for use in the park. McKenzie said an additional 240 acre's would be contributed by Levy county, and added he also would donate some property. Ice Value Proven Ohio State university 'compared the shrinkage of 14 products when displayed at room temperature and when held in crushed ice. At room temperature losses averaged about 20 per cent in two days. In ice most vegetables actually gained a little .weight. Wrong Way Davis We've .been intending to rib Olin Davis, our local highway patrolman, for a couple of weeks and nave at- ways forgotten about it. Seems he got a hurry-up call when that Mack truck went through the open lift bridge at White City on October 30, and instead of hight-tailing it to White City he went out to the Over- street ferry crossing of the canal. Talk about your "Wrong Way Cor- rigans!" -k He Died Too Soon Of the contributions which Louis Pasteur made to humanity and med- ical science, the greatest is the one whose value he did not live to see. He died in 1895, but pasteurization of milk-with its untold saving of lives-was not developed until later. Pasteur's research was prompted by a desire to protect the wines of French sailors who complained that on long voyages their .wines turned vinegary, a sad state of affairs for a Frenchman.

OGL ONY LRD AEF Forest 'Co-operatives' Seen As Aid To Free Enterprise In South Many of the South's 1,500,000 ,small woodland owners could add to their profit and independence by handling their forest products thru co-operative associations, according to a report just received by The Star from the U. S. Forest Service. The report, "Forest Co-opera- tives In the United States," *says that such groups "serve to streng- then our rural economy and to sustain the best qualities of r w. American tradition of free enter- prise." The report points out that In many parts of the country farmers are now paying high prices for tim- ber products shipped from other sections and often have difficulty getting building material they need. This is viewed as particularly iron- ical in woodland, regions, such as Gulf county, where local lumber needs could be met in a large meas- ure-and at a saving-if the knowm how," facilities and other aids that "co-ops" offer were available. Forest co-operatives aid. farmers and smal-l owners not only as pro- ducers of' forest products, but as consumers. Operated on a good for- estry basis, they can contribute much to the welfare of woodland communities as well. Particularly concerned with as- sociations which are committed to good forest practices, as a means of keeping woodlands productive, the report is based' upon the experi- ences of 57 "co-ops" of different types in various sections of the .country. The report points out that "the opportunity for forest co-operatives in the South seems good.

J6E, GULF COUNTY, FLORIDA FRIDAY.~ NOVEMBER 14, 1947 ,JOE* MOTOR COMPANY P X O F 1 19 Newsprint May Soon Be Made From Florida Pines Paper mills dotting the green for- ests of Florida may soon become a reality if possibilities of the state's vulpwood industry are expanded to the fullest. This bright outlook and other In- teresting data on paper manufac- ture in Florida are revealed in a survey made by the Florida State Chamber of Commerce. SBriefly, the survey shows that: (1) White papers and newsprint can be made from pulp from Flor-. ida pine trees. (2) Florida forests can adequate- ly supply twice the volume of wood pulp now being harvested. (3) Florida's reforestation pro- gram is geared to meet the demands for the pulp industry. That Florida already excels in the field is shown by the survey's discovery that, in 1945, woodpulp, paper and allied products manufac- .tured in Florida reached an esti- mated, value of $48,9,56,000. Florida putlIwood alone amounted to 600,- 000 cords with a total value' of $20,625,000. Paper manufacturers who desire to locate in Florida will find a total of 6,730,000,000 cubic feet of grow- ing pine and hardwood from which to draw their raw material. Experts believe Florida can produce enough pulpwood to double the state's pres- ent output. Flolida pulpwood papers compare favorably in quality with tnose pro- duced elsewhere, the report states. One prominent manufacturer is quoted as follows: "Let us dispel once and for all the question of the ability of the South to manufacture standard qual- ity n-ewsiprint. Our answer to this has always been: 'Ask the pun- lisher who uses southern news- print.' In 194G we found the 'South .maldng 30 per cent of all bleached fibre produced, making dissolving pulp, making newsprint, making the paper for Life mag#- zine, making high grade ground- wood specialties-an astounding ad- vance in 15 years."

AIR MEET TO BE HELD AT TAMPA NOVEMBER 15-16 A blanket invitation is extended all pilots and air enthusiasts to at- tend the Second Annualj Tampa Air Maneuvers, sponsored by the Tampa Aero Club, to be held at Peter 0. Knight Field tomorrow and Sunday. Activities begin with a gala din- ner and aviation ball at the Tampa Terrace tomorrow night: Sunday afternoon a 21/2-hour air 'show will be presented. In addition to thrills there will be crop dusting and spraying demonstrations designed to show farmers and citrus growers the advantages o'f 'Flying Farmers.' Benefits of Grass Silage Grass silage reduces the weather hazards in preserving roughage of highest feeding and nutritive qual- ity. In most cases a cheaper feed is secured from grass silage than corn silage-reducing the cost of milk production. Legume silage also reduces the necessity of feeding high protein concentrates. Another ad- (,vantage of silage is the reduction of fire hazards. A complete grassland system, coupled with a sound fer- tilization program, uses labor to bet- ter advantage, maintains and im- proves soil fertility, prevents ero- siori and produces milk of highest quality and sales appeal, measured in terms of color and desirable flavor.
