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

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.

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

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

R. Glenn Boyles is absent on a buy-
ing, trip.)
DEAR SHOPPERS:
We so often liear someone ssay
what he or she would do if they
were "pinch hitting" for another
person.
I had never thought what I wouliL
do should Mr. Boyles ask me to
,write "The Tattler" for him. Come
to think of it, with a store filled
with such splendid quality mer-
chandise, it's very easy. Quality
always speaks for itself.
.Since you do read this section of
The Star, may I take this oppor-
tunity, as a member of our Store
Family, to thank you for doing so.
The steady stream of shoppers
each week asking for items men-
tioned herein is proof in itself that
you do appreciate the quality mer-
chandise offered here.
We behind the counter say:
"Thanks to you," for it is a real
pleasure to help you select your.
needs.
Two of. the newest items in are
the lovely Doris Dodson dresses
and Hanes hose. We take great
pride in helping you select for your-
self or someone else a dress from
our racks. When .wve serve you in
this respect we feel sure you will
nw'ar them with equally greater
pride.
Next is the hose two new-
est shades. DU'ST and CREME de

street with never a backward
glance to see if your hose seams
are straight --th'ey are S-E-A-M-
L-E-S-S and lovely.
I dare say though, that others

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.

Mass Ice Cubes
Mass production of ice cubes by a
new method which dispenses them
in varying amounts can be had with
an invention patented by a Pitts-
burgh man. A column of ice is
frozen in a tube, and when desired,
the ice column moves upward as a
cutter slices off cubes into a dis-
penser. The machine can be set for
any predetermined number of cubes
each time it is in operation.


Fueling Air Liners
The amount of time required for
fueling large planes has long been
a serious problem affecting airline
schedules and capacity of fields at
busy major airports, just as it was
during the war. A new system has
been installed at the San Francisco
airport. Under the new system a
DC-3 airliner with a fuel capacity
of 822 gallons can be filled com-
pletely in two minutes.
