HELP PROMOTE PORT ST. JOE BY JOINING THE JUNIOR CHAMBER OF COMMERCE $ THE STAR The Home Newspaper of Northwest Florida's Future Industrial Center IT OFFICIAL NEWSPAPER OF GULF COUNTY $ VOLUME XI PORT ST. JOE, FLORIDA, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 12, 1947 NUMBER 11 Florida Basic Law Changes Are Proposed First Draft By Bar Association Committee Chairman Calls For Drastic Alterations A tentative "first draft" of a pro- posed new state constitution for Florida, embodying many "drastic" changes, has been made public by Dan H. Readfearn, Miami attorney, named chairman early in 1946 of a special Florida Bar Association committee to draft a new model of th S2-times amended state consti- tution, adopted in 1885. Among principal changes pro- posed in the new constitution, first )draft of which is intended to pro- voke discussion and criticism for consideration in' a final draft, are: Centralizing executive functions in eight departments instead of as now in the more than twenty ex- officio boards made up of various arrangements of the governor and six cabinet members. Increasing legislative repres-enta- tion of counties of more than 100,- 000 population, 'boosting the num- bar of representatives from 95 to 104. Doubling pay of legislators, noiw $6 per day, for the 60-day ,biennial sessions. Lowering the legal voting age in *Florida from 21 to 18, as already done in Georgia. Simplifying Florida's complicated (Continued on page 5) Judge Hutchison Resigns; Lewis Announces for Post At a meeting of the district bar association at Marianna Thursday afternoon of last week, Circuit Judge Ira A. Hutchison, who has served on the-bench for more than 20 years', stated that he would not be a candidate for re-election in the May primary. Citing the need for "''some younger member of the !bar" to assume the justice administrative duties, Hut- chison said he had for a long time "been giving serious consideration to r.etirinrg on or before the ex- piration' of the present term." Two members of the bar last Thursday announced their inten- tion of running for election to the position, being E. Clay Lewis, Jr., of this city and Thomas Sale of Panalma City. The announcement came as a surprise., said Lewis 'when your editor hopp d on him for not giving- us a break last week on the story. Possibility of early retirement by Hutchison was indicated in his an- nouncement (his -term expire's in January, 1949) in which case an in- terinm judge, might Tbe appointed by Governor Caldwell, or, the judge- ship left open until the primary should indicate the will of the pub- lic. Should it 'be left open, Judge E. C. Welch of Marianna, the other judge in the 14th judicial circuit, would supply. B. E. Kenney Undergoes Brain Tumor Operation ,News 'was received here Wed- nesday that Basil E.

Star office late Wednesday demand- ing a half-page ad for the Louis- Wolcott fight pictures and at least a five-column screamer across the. top of page one. We gave him what advertising space we could, and this is his screamer. Seems that Mac is one of a few lucky theater managers in this sec- tion to get first release on the filmp and he, will show it at a late show next Wednesday night at 10:45. "Come see the entire fight on our screen." says Mac, "and draw your own conclusions as to who was the winner."

Traiweek of Kenney's Mill Christmas Seals Are In Reality A Gift To the Giver Everyone Who BuyA Seals Give Themselves a Christmas Gift of Health Protection Through the Christmas Seal, men and women in all walks of life. have participated in the campaign to eradicate tuberculosis in the United States, have helped bring about an 80% reduction Giristm s Seals in the tubercu- -losis death rate since the early part of the cen- tury. I In terms of human life, this o. .T Prtode lowering of the Arsnt Tbrca sav resents a saving death rate rep- of 4,000,000 lives -lives of people who would have died of tuberculosis i1 the TB death rate of 1907, when the first Christ- inas Seals were sold in this coun- try, had continued to prevail. Many factors are involved in this lower- ing of the death rate, but un- dor:btedly the people themselves 'have made an outstanding contribeu- lion through their support of' .their local tuberculosis association and its program to prevent the spread of tuberculosis, financed entirely by the sale of Christmas Seals. We cannot, however, afford to rest on our laurels. Progress has been made. but there. is much more work to be done .Before tuberculo- sis ceases to threaten the health of our people. Tuberculosis still takes the lives of some 53,000 Americans a year. It is still the first disease cause of death in the age group be- tween 15 and 44. We cannot call off the battle against tuberculosis until complete victory is ours. For our own protec- tion, and 'for the protection of our children, we must continue to sup- port the campaign against tubercu- losis. We must continue to buy Clihris:tuma.s Seals. Actually, when we ibuy Christmas Seals we are giving ourselves a gift -a gift in health protection.

SEASON ON MULLET CLOSED WEDNESDAY Florida's first state-wide closed season on i illet "h sing starLed Wednesday, and until January 20 it will be against the law to take, possess or transport mullet in any of the 67 counties. Up until the 1947 legislature adopted a uniform state-wide closed season, general law -provided 'a De- cem'ber 1 to January 20 ban, but-it was .largely ineffective because of a number of special acts exempting specific counties.

USS Lyman began work this week of deepening the entrance channel to St. Jose,phs Bay, which had shoaled to such an extent as to create. a hazard to vessels using the chan- .nel. It is expected that work will also be done in the channel front- ing the docks here as well as the north and south channels. Built in 1942 at a cost of $2,000,- 000 and one of four such ships con- stnucted to keep harbors clear to Allied naval vessels and other ship- ping, the Lyman, saw service at Manila and Cavite during the war. The dredge, which is on loan' to the Mobile. district of the army en- ginieers from the Jacksonville dis- trict, i's a twin-screw, deiser elec- tric ,powered job with an overall length of 216 feet and a draft of 12' feet 6 inches when fully loaded. Cost of operating the vessel is about $1500 a day, but the dividends it returns in elimination of naviga- tion hazards more than cancel the cost of operation. Unlike the. dredges used In St. Josephs Bay in past years, which were pipeline dredges that merely siphoned the sand, from the chan- nels to a different location, the (Continued on Page 3) Chrishias ,SuytW,- - Feature P.-T.

Our Country ----" Right or Wrong DISTRIBUTE CHEER TO THE WIDEST It is getting near the time now when, on the fingers of their two hands,, the children of Port St. Joe may count the days to Christmas. This is, indeed, the week before the Christmas week, and into it will be packed full content of altruistic adventure, for it should be one of the best yule seasons since that fateful and long-to-be-remembered December 7 of 1941. Perhaps the greatest joys of Christmas come in these days before, when, as at no other time, the mind is full of pleasant thoughts for others. Everyone likes to make good plans, to anticipate the surprise and joy they will bring. Now we have moved into the full flush of the pre-holiday season, into those last days in Ilwhich an "early" shopping will be possible. And we are greeted by glowing lights, the rib- bons and tinsel of decorations, and the great- est exhibit of wares and goods in years. Could we assemble under one roof, and call it a fair, the articles which are spread out by the mer- chants of Port St. Joe in windows and on counters, we could make a bid for a large and -rapt audience and would vote the expo- sition a rare one. It is more fun, perhaps to walk around press- ing faces against the panes, loitering near the counters where toy machinery performs its wonders, looking at the'books, listening to the radios and wondering at the great variety of articles on display. Beautiful, convenient, prac- tical, sentimental and ornamental; works of- art and invention, for the grownup and the child, the gifts of Christmas are spread in their annual invitation.- This is an invitation being accepted joyfully by the residents of the city, who are seeing to it that nothing is to mean the loss of the Yuletide pleasures. As a boon to the times comes the generosity and kindliness of the human heart with this chance of expression which means, in addition to the joy given tihe recipients of gifts, the employment of extra clerks, work for the artisans, and a timely circulation of money. The holiday awaits and' the nation is pre- pared. nto the streets and stores move the chowds who are thinking of others; funds for the aid of the unfortunate receive more sup- port than ever. There is a firm determination to spread out this year., as never before, the cheer of the season. And Christmas is but two weeks 6ff! "The time has come." quoth the raven, "to do your early Christmas shopping." Now that Mrs. Hl[ush has been uncovered there remains only the minor matter of dis- covering Mrs. "Whiish" Raleigh, and then we clnn concentrate on our Christmas shopping. WHAT DO WE SEE? What do we see when we go out? Do the sights of a street merely convey to us a stretch of hard, unyielding pavement, or does it convey a picture of life and interest? As we pass by the stores of Port St. Joe, do we see merely a lot of goods which we cannot afford to buy this Christmastide but which we will buy, or do we see spread out before us for the taking an education without spend- ing- a penny? very street, whether it be in Port St. Joe, New York or Paris, has a distinct personality of its m\ n. Its people and shops present to the discerning person a colorful phase of life. The ways of the habitual frequenters of a certain street may not be our ways. To the truly re- ceptive mind, however, they present a picture just as vivid and far more truthful than what we may see on the screen of the Port Theater. The mind that is dull sees nothing bult a street full of things not wanted. The active mind delves behind the building walls and finds an interest in the lives of the people for whom the street exists. First, perhaps, it sees the retailers and visualizes their thoughts and struggles behind the professional smiles which greet the possible customer, even though that particular merchant may have his back to the wall and is unable to meet his obligations. It sees the mind of the consumers whose homes and ways of living demand the class of mer- chandise displayed for sale. It sees life-not just a row of windows. Very window display on Reid and Monument Avenues is a mnanr- festation of someone's. desire to please some- one else, even though the root of it is a profit or a means of livelihood. Instead of giving the show windows merely a passing glance, suppose we take the trouble to see all that is in them. They are full of ideas, not only for Christmas gifts, but ideas which can be used for the betterment of our own lives, whether it be our personal appearance, "business efficiency, use of leisure, diet, or home comforts and conveniences. SThe Port St. Joe show windows right now contain thousands of interesting items. Al- though the trade channels through whici1 these goods normally pass is mainly associ- ated with their application as supplies for hu- man needs and a few fine luxuries, this is not by any means the entire picture. Behind these show windows there stands a store and, a per- sonnel who possibly for many years have de- voted their entire time and efforts to the art of striving to meet the exacting demands of public opinion. So long as our needs are definitely in the realm of. good supplies, the stores of Port St. Joe can be of inestimable service to us, re- gardless of the item. quantity or quality re- quirements,, if given a chance to serve u,-. There is no need of going to Panama City, Dothan or Tallahassee or sending to the mail order houses for inferior goods trade at home where you will get another chance at your dollar. A dollar spent or sent out of Port St. Joe is a dollar gone forever. You probably won't realize it, but during the next four years you are going to pay out approximately $40 a year for European relief. This figure is based on internal revenue col- lections in Florida (Floridians during the 1946-47 fiscal year paid in $413,725,955, or 1.54 per cent of the national total) which is about $40 yearly for every permanent resident of the state, men, women and children. This means that during the next four.years 3.9 cents of every dollar earned in Florida will be labeled "European relief." Keep smiling-and buy U S Savings Bonds.

JOE, GULF COUNTY, FLORIDA Treating Trees To Preserve Needles Dropping needles or leaves of Christmas trees, which strip the trees of color and litter the floor, long have been a Yuletide bane. Therefore, the discovery of the New York State College of Forestry that waterglass spray will prevent the spruce leaves from falling comes as welcome news to family and housewife alike. Besides preserving the foliage, the waterglass spray adds to the decorative effect of the spruce by leaving a slight silver sheen to the green of the needle-like leaves. The waterglass also has been found to be a good fire retardant. The college found that the shed- ding of spruce leaves also can be retarded by placing the base of the tree in a bucket of moist earth, peat moss or water. Users have re- ported the success of this treat- ment. Income From Livestock Approximately 65 per cent of the income of New York farmers comes from the sale of livestock and live- stock products, according to Cornell university economists.
