Press Breakfast


Warren, McCarty. McFadden and
Watson Spotlighted At
Annual Affair

Although Fuller Warren failed to
ateii1d the 19it8 Press Breakfast
held last Nweeek-end at Winter Ha-
ven, it did not preveiit the newspa-
per and radio boys from giving him
the works in skits and gags that
'kept the audience of 400 roaring
with laughter.
Highlight of the program was a
skit written and staged by the stafr
of the Polk County Democrat of
Bartow that took down the house.
Loyal Frisbie impersonated Warren
and all but had Fuller elected until
lie ran into Dan McCarty, and that
threw him for a loop.
Warren and McCartfy again got
the spotlight' when a hillbilly singer
sang verses about the various can-
didates to the tune of "Yankee

Florida Ideal Site



For Manufacturers,



Says State C. of C.


Port St. Joe, With Superb Harbor, Docks, Rail and Water
Facilities, and Proximity To Latin American Countries,
Could Be Site of Numerous Industries


The weekly business review sent out by the research division
of the Florida State Chamber of Commerce, this week points
out that Florida is an ideal spot for manufacturers of specialized
consumer goods to establish plants due to the high level of the
consumer market in 'the state and in the proximity to south-
eastern U. S. and Latin American markets.
Numerous times in the past the editor of The Star has de-
voted considerable space to the same subject, particularly the
.ideal location of 1'ort St. lIe, with its fine harbor and dock fa-
cilities and rail connections, for trade with Latin American
*countries. Now we'd like to


Shands Speaks

Here Yesterday


Says 'Lttle Fellow' Will Get Break
If He Is Elected Governor
of Florida

W. A. Shands, candidate for gov-
ernor, following approximately the
same itinerary as that just com-
pleted by Fuller Warren, spoke
here last evening at 7:30 to a very
small audience due to" the fact that
his coming had no advance bally-
hoo and the lateness of the hour.
The senator from Gainesville
promised that a veto awaits any tax
law which does not protect the little
fellow. in telling of his ,plans for
operation of the governor's office.
*Shands opened his formal speak-
ing tour-last week and had. spoken
in Levy, Dixie, Gilchrist, Columbia,
Suivainn .e, Taylor. Wakulla and
Franklin counties before coming
here.

morrow will put in a hard dlay with

fay, Chipley and, Marianna.

Silverware To Girl Graduates

The. Lilius Jewelry Company has
invited all the girls of the gradu-

school to select a pattern of sterl-
ing silver from any of the many
patterns they have in stock, and as
a graduation gift each girl will re-
ceive a piece of sterling in her
chosen pattern.
This is to be an annual event,
and each year the jewelry company
will start girls of the graduating
class in sterling of their selected
patterns. The boys of the class will
be remembered with appropriate
gifts.
Girl graduates in Apalachicola
and Wewahitchka have also been
invited to make their selections in
sterling so that they may receive
the same consideration shown the

Chamber of Commerce and see
if something can be done about

The state chamber has this to
say about the matter:
"Evidence of the superiority of

following conclusions drawn from

"1. For a number of years Flor-

"2. Recent annual increases in

THE STAR, PORT ST. JOE, GULF COUNTY, FLORIDA


Tax Booklet Prepared To
Lure Wealthy To Florida

A booklet aimed at bringing more
millionaires to Florida by showing
them how .much tax money they can
save is ready for distribution.
It has a full s'et of tables com-
paring Florida's taxes on wealth and
estates with those of eight other,
states. Loose leaf pages covering
IS other states are available for in-
sertion to meet specific requests.
The booklet shows, for instance,
that a resident of Florida who has
a million dollars worth of securities
yielding him an- annual income of
$40,000 will have to pay $1000 taxes
on them. If he lived in Ohio, his tax
would be $2000, in Massachusetts
$2400, New Yonk $2,612.50, North
Carolina $4,940, Pennsylvania $4000
and Kentucky $6,S30.
If a man should die and leave an
estate of a million dollars, as a resi-
dent of Florida his estate tax would
'be $38,200. It would be that same
amount in Pennsylvania, but if he
made. his legal home in North Caro-
lina it would be $60,450, New York
$42,300, Michigan $55,000, Kentucky
$97,350, Ohio $36,700 and Massa-
chusetts $71,359.
The book also quotes Florida's
state contsitutional provisions pro-
hibiting issuance of state bonds, ex-
empting homesteads from taxation,
limiting intangibles taxes to two
mills, prohibiting income taxes and
limiting the estate tax to the
amount which the federal govern-
ment turns ,back to the state.
As a 'gentle hint, the last page is
a copy of the simple affidavit by
'which a resident of another state
can declare himself a citizen and
resident of Florida for taxpaying
purposes.


Candidates Lampooned

(Continued from page 1)
Doodle." Several of the verses fol-
low:
Fuller Warren came to town,
He didn't need a speaker,
For when he starts a-soundin' off
You kin hear him in Topeka.
Dan McCarty came to town,
The band turned out to greet him,
He never said a doggone word
But folks, were pleased to meet him.
Mr. Watson came to town,
They thought hlie was a phoney,
Put when he started spoutin' oil
They called it pure baloney.
Old MacFadden .came to town,
So husky, hale and hearty,
That folks who'd never met the guy
Thought he was Dan McCarty.
There we're a number of other
verses about the various candidates
but space does not permit the use
of all of them. The one that seemed
to make the biggest hit with the
crowd was that on MacFad~den.
The annual Press Breakfast is
held in conjunction with the Florida.
Citrus Exposition, and the skits and
gags, are prepared by the newspa-
per folks themselves. The. event has
oeen staged every year for the past
30 years and is the unofficial fun
session of the Florida Press Associ-
ation.

Cobalt Deficiency Loss
Cobalt deficiency, which occurs
widely in New Hampshire and oth-
er states, for many years has
caused heavy losses to the livestock
industry. The New Hampshire sta-
tion identified the cause and showed
that the slow starvation of sheep
and cattle due to cobalt deficiency
can be overcome quickly by admin-
istering small amounts of cobalt. As
a result, most of the feed manufac-
turers serving the region now in-
clude two or three grams of cobalt
sulfate per ton of feed.

Origin of Sawlogs
Is Given In Report

Geographic origin of sawlogs con-
sumed in the manufacture of lum-
ber ire the 715 mills in Florida now
are available for the first time in a
report of a field survey of the state,
the Florida Chamber of Commerce
announced this week.
The output of softwood and hard-
wood logs by West Florida counties
is listed as follows: Gulf and Frank-
lin, 11,780,000; Escambia, 15,761,-
000; Jackson, 16,965,000; Calhoun,
11,690,000; Walton, 5,905,000; Lib-

1,186,000; Santa Rosa, 5,429,000 and
Washington, 3,340,000. (The data.
released for operations in 1946.
were colnbined in some counties to
avoid disclosing operations of indi-
vidual establishmentss)
Sawlogs shipped into the state
were in the following amounts:
SAlabama, 12,621,000; Georgia, 3,080,-
000; foreign imports, 9,000,000.

Dried Milk Products
Dried milk products are used
chiefly as sources of vitamin G.
Dried buttermilk and skimmilk
have about 33 per cent protein and
are rich in vitamin, G, the dried
buttermilk being considerably rich-
er. The vitamin G content of dried
whey lies between that of dried but-
termilk and that of dried skimmilk,
according to Colorado State college.
It contains about 12 per cent of pro-
tein.

Home Washed Neckties
Neckties can be washed at home

WATSON BY-PASSING PORT
ST. JOE ON SPEAKING TOUR
Tom Watson ,who, opened a six-
county campaign in this section
yesterday at Apalachicola in the in-
terest of his campaign for governor,
apparently couldn't find Port St. Joe
on the. map, or else he figured there
weren't enough votes here to make
it worthwhile after following in the
footsteps of Fuller Warren and Bill
Shands.
Today he will speak at Quincy
and Bristol, and tomorrow will be
in Blonntsto.wn. We'wabitchIka and

across the briny deep. That sale
cleared the rack and wrote another
page in the history of Boyles Dol-
lar Day Values that brought Thrills

,vent played a, great part in mak-
ing this our greatest February on

Speaking of dresses, Mrs. B. was
most enthusiastic in the showroom
of a Neiw York manufacturer of ma-
ternity dresses while the writer
shifted and squirmed in his seat
uncomfortably. Styles were shown
as swiftly as the winged stork flies.
Just as rapidly we heard Mrs. B.
say: "Three, six, four. two, three.,
four, six, etc., etc." The shipping
clerk lost no time getting busy .
the Railway Express got 'busy .
box after box opened turned out to
be maternity dresses r,cog-
nized only after close examination
they're fresh .they're
gay they're perky .
they're the 'best values obtainable
on today's market! We've given
strict orders to every salesperson
in the store to get busy and
sell these lovely dresses! (Hadn't
you better tell Old Man Stork' to
g4t busy, too, Glenn?-Ed.)
A cheer comes in a wire from
Joan Kenley: "Shipping four do2en
blouses today." Now, they're here!
S. Gilbson Girls. Smith Girls.
Jones Girls yes, for most


any kind of girls from 12 to 60!
Right this way see. them today!
In the mail: A bill for Margaret -

ter, and Butch Jenkins caps and
hats for little so.n. Easter bonnets
are here ,for older sister and mother,
too. Wish we could tell you about
them, but -words fail us to ade-
quately describe a "lady's hat" these
days! Gotta take time out to chase'
a roach that's trying his best to
peek over my shoulder Wham!
Got him with a bundle of invoices
that would choir', a horse, let a lone :
a guy that's got 'emi to 'pay! Pray
tell me, why (lid they ever make
roaches? and why don't
they make a rule against paying in-

'Bess White Cochran in "Without
Halos" relates the following inci-
dent: Mandy came to our church
regularly. She was always smiling;
she seemed to radiat?. good cheer
She missed the service one Sunday
and came into father's study the
next morning to leave her offering.
His spirits were low that day, and
he, remarked, with a ton"! of envy,
"You've found happ-ness, haven't
vou. Mandy "No. suh!" she pro-
tested vigorously, "I ain't found it.
I'se mads it." Maybe that's
something to think about.
Yours looking for more
Happy Customers.

Our Country Right or Wrong

LEGION lk'GES STRENGTH IN AIR
The American Legion, long an advocate and
supporter of sound programs which concern
our national defense, has launched an air power
program which deserves the attention and co-
operation of everyone interested in the secur-
ity of our country.
Capt. Eddie Rickenbacker, in a recent ad-
dress, has this to say on the matter, and we
know of no one better informed:
"In these days of international unrest it
would be well for us to give serious thought
to the present state of our armed forces, par-
tic'ularly our air services. Not so long ago, two
years ago. in fact, the United States was the
world's leading airpower. Now we have fallen
to second or third place. We are told by our
military leaders that unless steps are taken im-
mediately to rectify that, we will be unable to
defend our country in case of war. We know
what an important part air. power played in
the recent conflict, and we know that it was
our superior air strength that turned the tide
in the final days of World War II. Yet we are
now letting that air power disappear down
the drain.
"Even after lasting peace is established, Am-
erican air power must be our strong arm of
defense. We must safeguard America's free-
dom and world peace with adequate air power.
Such is the earnest plea of the American Le-
gion. The Legion is not fearful of an early
war; it fears only the dangerous public com-
placency which has gripped the American peo-
ple and which is reminiscent of the attitude
which prevailed prior to Pearl Harbor. We
know what that complacency cost us then. If
America maintains an aerial a?mada ready for
immediate action and in step with the latest
advances in. aeronautical engineering, its own
security can be assured. The Legion program
also calls for the maintenance of air power ai.
a level sufficient to discharge our obligations
ii maintaining world, peace.
"We hear much talk these clays of another
war. Though none of us want to be known as
warmongers, we still realize that wars are not


inevitable. Every thinking citizen should re-
alize the singular importance of air power to
our'national security in the event of another
war. There can be no defense of our homes,
except through constant preparedness in the
air. If the American people want adequate air
power for security, they alone can demand it
and get it."
And here's something for the people of Port
St. Joe to think about: With our paper mill and
our pipeline terminal, this city would probably
be in for a'bomb or two should the nation be-
come involved in another war. So take your
pen in hand and get behind the American Le-
gion in demanding from our congressman and
senators in Washington that they too, get be-
hind the Legion for a bigger and better air
force.

IT WON'T BE LONG NOW
Eleven years-except for war-time interrup-
tions-of polishing a mirror has ended. The
mirror is that of the world's largest telescope,
which is now being installed on Palomar moun-
tain in California. The mirror has been pro-
nounced accurate within two millionths of an
inch, according to-California Institute of Tech-
nology experts, who had the job in hand. The
delicate concave glass, 200 inches in diameter,
has finally been transported from Pasadena
up to the observatory site on the mountain,
130 miles away. The move took a month.
Operated jointly by Caltech and Carnegie
Institution, Washington, D. C., the giant tele-
scope is to reveal heretofore undreamed-of
vistas and facts of the planet world out there
in infinite space. The story of the patient scien-
tific work that went on all those years in pre-
paring this mirror, is in itself a thrilling chap-
ter in mankind's history.
What would the mind of Shakepeare or of
Dante do with the heavenly visions that mir-
ror is to see? \WVhat it picks up may change
man's basic conceptions about his universe.

WE'RE GONNA VOTE REPUBLICAN
We've been a staunch Democrat for lo, these
many years, but if High I-landed Harry, who
is seeking re-election and a chance to use that
porch he's having built on the White House,
thinks he can shove down our throats that
bouquet of highminded laws regarding as-
sorted civil rights and liberties, he's greatly
mistaken. If he keeps on yawping over this,
matter' and insisting that congress pass his
pet legislation, we're gonna vote Republican.
Reason for Truman sounding off is that he's
making an election-year bid for the northern
negro vote, which of recent years has been
drifting back to the Republicans.

A young wife told a group of friends her
husband never snored before they were mar-
ried. Then she wondered why they all smiled.

Prevent forest fires, chaperone your cigaret
-don't let it go out alone.


2-Wheel-Drive for the Highway
The Universal "Jeep's" wide speed-range on'hard
roads saves valuable working time and its 4-wheel-
drive pulling power for slippery roads and steep grades
makes it the ideal farm tow-truck. It gives economical,
satisfactory service, whether hauling hay to the next
county or taking livestock to m.narket. It's a handy pick-
up, too-carries 1200 lbs.


STARDUST and

MOONSHINE


Our wife gave us one of those
neiw-fangled' wrist watches for our
'birthday on February 4. It's a self-
*inding critter, waterproof, shodk-
proof, non-magnetic .and gosh only
knows what else. Probably could be
educated to milk the family cow.
Anyway, we haven't mentioned the
gadget before, because we've been
checking up on it. Now, after three

a pedometer-got it 'way back inu
1916 when we were a Boy Scout-
and it has the same kind of a dingus
in it that keeps our watch wound
up all the time.

Th., state election laiw.s say that
a candidate can't give out anything
of value while campaigning for
votes, such as cheap cigars (and
that's a blessing!), pencils with
their names on them, etc., etc. But
it doesn't say that a candidate can't
pass out something to his personal
friends, and Patty Lovett, in the
race fo.r hauibormaster, brought ps

and asked why we. didn't print the
story about him going to Macon,
Ga., and we told him we couldn't
follow him about all the time and
check on his goings and comings,
that we'd be glad to put his name
in this rag i-f he does anything of
importance (like mebbe committing
suicide), and that the next time he
went any place to let us know. ..
Anyway, he told us he went fishing
out to 'the canal at Highland View
the other day, spent 25c for bait,
$2.75 for a line', 75c for taxi fare
and put in three hours of his timni
at $1.50 an hour-and d-idn't catch

fish.

John Robert Smith heaved a sigh
of relief Monday, for the carpen-
ters finally got the front of his
drug emporium seals.d up again af-
ter his remodeling job. He'd been
sleeping in the store nights with a
double-ibarrel shotgun in his arms,'
and said he'd really been getting
tired of it.


4-Wheel-Drive for Field Work
For off-the-road service-in the field or over rough
ground the versatile "Jeep" has traction at every
wheel and a choice of fix forward speeds to give correct
gear ratios for the work at hand. In 4-wheel-drive, the
"Jeep" also works as a tractor helps farmers the
year 'r`- -, d .dy for virtually any hauling job.

Woman's Plea Saves Masher
From Digging Up $25 Fine
MILWAUKEE, WIS. It almost
cost Wenceslaus Blaha $25 to learn
not to invite a lady for a ride unless
properly introduced.
Mrs. Marcella Breitzman, 35.
testified in court that Blaha tried to
pick her up. When Judge Harvey
L. Neelen imposed a $25 fine, Mrs
Breitzman said:
"Go easy on him, judge. Lots of
men try to pick me up. I think he's
learned his lesson. Besides, he's got
a wife and four children."
Blaha commented that Mrs.
Breitzman had looked familiar
and he was only trying to be friend-
ly. He added that he had told his
wife about the incident.
The judge rescinded the file.

Robber Finds Policemen
Are Not Good Targets
NEW YORK. As Jerry Sulli.
van and Andrew Langert stepped-
from their automobile, a man ap
preached and asked for a cigaret.
Sullivan obliged, even lighting the
cigaret for him. The man pulled a
pistol from his shirt and jammed it
against Sullivan's stomach. Langert
whirled, knocked him down with a
quick blow, between the eyes and
took the pistol.
The man was identified as Mike
Gill, 36, and was charged with fel-
onious assault and illegal possession
of a pistol.
The men he tried to hold up are
New York City detectives.
