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. STRONG IS TO BE
ASSOCIATED WITH NORTON
Dr. and Mrs. S. B. Strong re-
turned last week from Havana,
Cu'ba, where the doctor had been
practicing since his retirement from
the army, and they. will make Port
St. Joe their home.
Dr. Strong will be associated with
Dr. J. R. 'Norton and expects to
have his office open in the Norton
-building within the next week.

Mr. and Mrs. Walter Branka, for-
merly of this city, have moved to

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.

The Parent- Teacher Association
of Port St. Joe has done it again!
Mrs. Edwin Ramsey and, Mrs. Ralph\-
Swatts' returned Saturday from St.
Petersburg, where they attended the
convention o'f the State Congress
of Parents and teachers, and have
proudly announced that the local
unit has received the Blue Ribbon
Award for 1946-47. This is the third
consecutive year that the Port St.

Irons In Preparation; Lots of
Game, Says Warden

The hunting season, will open
next Thursday, Novei-ber 2t,, and
local nimrods are cleaning up the
old shooting irons and, rarin' to go.
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

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-
important assets of the state and
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. Green turlle soup and pNi
winkle soup. both currently canned.
are eases at point.
Florida's non-food fish (prinici.
pally menhaden.) are valuable fo,-
the manufacture of oils, fertilizer
and animal feeds.
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.

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.

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. The latge
acreage of woods in' small owner-
Peruvian Guano Use
Injudiciously used, Peruvian
guano may become a curse in-
stead of a blessing. It stimulates
crops to an inordinate growth and
causes them, in poorer soils, to seek
some mineral which it does not in
itself supply in sufficient quantity.

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."

MARY HILTON, CIRCUS ORHPAN, AND TOOTS


Anmoig the boys and girls with
the King Bros. Circus which plays
Port St. Joe on Wednesday, Novem-
ber 26, there are a score. They are
children' of performers and officials
of the big shaw-excepting Mary
I-ilton, five years old, tle nitt:e
circus orphan.
Tragedy has followed in the
wake of little Mary's life. Her fa-
ther, an aerial gymnast, was killed

mother, also a circus performer,
died after a short illness. With no
immediate relatives, Mary was ad-
opted by performers of the circus.
Although deprived of parental
care, Mary is the sweetheart of the
1,50 performers with the show. She
has an endless number of Shetland
ponies and a wagonload of dogs as
playmates. Added to this list of
pets this year is a lion cub, Toots.
The little trooper wishes to be an
acrobat when she grows up, and


her training has already started.
Just 'now Mary Is studying her
Three R's under the tutelage of
Fred Yost, a clown, and the most
schooled performer with the circus.

"The ,best we can do today is to

Bake Tulip Bulbs'
During the war tulip growers in
Holland were required to plant half
of their land to food. Because of
their small food allowance, most of
the tulip bulbs were eaten by the
Dutch. In most cases the Dutch
cooked and ate the bulbs in much
the way we do baked potatoes.

Making Own Floor Wax
A good homemade floor wax can
be 'prepared by melting one-fourth
pound of beeswax and a pound of
paraffin and adding one-fourth pint
of linseed oil and one and one-fourth
pints of turpentine. Stir the mix-
ture vigorously. Unfinished wood
will be darkened somewhat by
absorption of linseed oil in this wax.

AIR MEET TO BE HELD AT

A blanket invitation is extended
all pilots and air enthusiasts to at-
tend the Second Annualj Tampa

Activities begin with a gala din-

there will be crop dusting and

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.
