HELP PROMOTE PORT ST. JOE BY JOINING THE JUNIOR CHAMBER OF COMMERCE THE STAR The Home Newspaper of Northwest Florida's Future Industrial Center OFFICIAL NEWSPAPER OF GULF COUNTY VOLUME XI PORT ST. JOE, FLORIDA, FRIDAY, JANUARY 23, 1948 NUMBER 17 Keep the Little Ones, Says State Fish Biologist Points Out That a Given Body of Water Will Support Only So Many Pounds of Fish Florida's fisheries experts are discovering that the old angler's creed, ''Always throw the little ones back." may not be such sound advice after all. John F. Dequine, chief Fisheries biologist for the state games, and fresh water commission, believes the long-accepted practice may be doing Florida fishing "more harm than good." "A body of water will support *only so many pounds of fish," he ex- plained, "regardless of the num- her. In other words. iif you have 6000 bass in a lake 'that.,will only support 3000 pounds of fish you'll find the whole crop stunted and un- dersized." The only answer- to such a prob- lem, Dequine said, is to remove the. over-supply of small fish. This al- lows the remaining population suf- ficient food. for normal growth. "Usually this can be accom- plished thru normal fishing pres- sure,'" he said, "provided we keep the little ones. When we throw 'em back, though, we maintain or even increase the population, and a bad situation often grows worse.." The traditional policy of "putting (Continued on Page 4) Interest Aroused' Over Mystery of $2.00 Bills The mystery of the $2 bills which residents of the. city are urged to hold on to, deepened this week as the postotfice was flooded with postal-card's in regard to the matter. In addition, a number o'f lucky individuals received a telegram, at- tached to a $2 bill with, the nota- tion to hold. to it for dear life. The lucky or perhaps we might say "unlucky" individuals' were Mrs. Ferrell Allen. S. B. Shuford, Jimmy ,Greer, George McLawhou, Mrs. R. R. Kingry, Gene Holley, Coleman Tharpe and Mrs. Elizabeth Jones. Visiting In Georgia Mrs. C. M. Palmer is visiting this week in Thomasville, Ga., with rel- atives and friends. I4 -: '.. Connell Is Renamed As Commission Chairman At the last meeting of the boar'l of county commissioners, W. IR. Connell was unanimously renamed by members of the board as chair- ::urn, with W. C. Roche returned as ice-chairman. E. Clay Lewis Jr., was again re- tained by the board as attorney and prosecuting attorney in the county 'judge's court for the ensuing year. Among other business transacted by the commission was the drawing of names to be placed in the jury box for circuit court. The. complete list of jurors selected will be found on page two. of this issue of The Star. Political Fees High In Coming Election County Commissioners Fix Fees of Candidates Qualifying For May Primary While the "high cost of living" may worry the average person who has to hustle for his daily bread, it is going to be the "high cost of run- ning" that will be the major worry of those tossing 'their hats into the political arena this year. Not only will candidates in -the Miay primarie-s 'be faced with higher qualifying fees paid to the county, and party fees paid to the county Democratic committee, but other items, such as printing, that enter into campaigning will be consider- ably higher than in ormer cam- paign's. The board of county commission- ers, at their last session, fixed a schedule of ;fees to be paid to the county 'by those who seek any of the various, county offices to be filled. In addition to the county fees, the Democratic executive com- mittee of the county, has yet to meet and' add party assessment fees which must be paid before any can- didate can qualify and. have. his name printed on the official pri- mary ballot. It is expected that the county committee fees will be about the same as those fixed by the commissioners. To give prospective candidates an inkling of what it will cpst to get qualified, a list of the fees to be paid to the county, as fixed by the (Continued on page' 8) Earns Right'To Wear Wings Of U. S.

Our Country Right or Wrong A DECADE OF SERVICE Again the March of Dimes is swinging along and again residents of 'ort St. Joe and Guif county are being asked to give their -dimes and dollars to help the fight on infantile par- alysis. This year it is the tenth birthday of the N.a tional Foundation for Infantile Paralysis t7at gives special emphasis to the annual campaign for funds to help polio patients and to wipe out this treacherous disease. The campaign, which Chairman Joe Mira says will be carried over into February, also emphasizes the fact that for the last five years polio incidence in the United States has been the highest for any similar period in the nation's history. Ap- proximately 80,000 Americans, mostly chil- dren, have been stricken with, the disease in the last five years alone. ! I There has been no letup by the disease. There must be no letup in.the fight against it. No one knows what lies.ahead. or where and for how long polio may strike in years to come. Last summer drove home one sad but unde- niable fact-that polio knows no boundaries. Our troops stationed in Europe and the Pacitic were stricken, as were children and adults in Boise, Alron, Los Angeles and other centers of the 1947 outbreaks. For some areas, the 1947 epidemic was the first in years-for others, it was consecutive.: Port St. Joe may be on the list of the Great Crippler for 1948. After ten years, the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis has won the 'heart of every American by its championing of the cause o! polio victims. Without considering age. creed, color or race, the foundation has earned the confidence of all by its help for patients af- flicted by this -!l' p-i.i.d disease. The national foundation helps pay the bills that pile up for the families of infantile par- alysis patients. It sees to it, that the best avail- able medical and hospital care is provided. And -so important in the long view-it is spon- soring extensive programs of research and technical education. Research is gradually nar- rowing the field in. the hunt for the Ccomiplete anivers to infantile paralysis, and it will be simply a matter of time before these answer, are at hand. Professional education assures a supply of pediatricians, nurses and physical therapists trained in the techniques that are peculiar to this disease. All those activities are expensive-the cost, for example, of caring for patients of the 1946 epidemic, \\will total S30,000,000, excluding the 1947. toll. ,'olio patients need YOUR dime- and dollars. YOU need the satisfaction of giv- ing. So let's give generously, and join in the, March of Dimes. 0 PROMISE ME! The promising days are here again with the politicos outlining their platforms andt point- ing what they will do for everybody if they are elected to this or that office. All the candidates will, as usual, sweat to outdo each other with promises when they get down to the business of bringing home thie bacon in the form of votes. And, as usual, the voters will go for it, hook, line and sinker. Personally, the editor of The Star is not hav- ing any. We've sat through too many elections to fall for the political bull, and we've seen to many politicians forget their promises after they got their snout in the political feed trough. These promises are not confined to the con- test for the presidency-it filters down to alt political levels, including campaigns for.con- gress, for governor, for county commissioner, for sheriff, tax collector, tax assessor, etc. Don't listen to the siren song of the poli- tician that is wafted to your ears this year, but look at their past records if they are al- ready in office, and at their business or home lives if seeking office for the first time. With governmental costs from federal on down to city on the increase, it is really time for the voter to try and distinguish between the honest public official and the professional politician. Looks like Truman isn't worried about who is to be the' next president, else why should he build that new porch on the White House- surely not for the next occupant.
