Big Industrial

Boom Is Seen

For Southeast


Development of Region's Electric
Power Will Benefit All Sec-
tions, Including Port St. Joe

The rivers- of Florida, Alabama
and Georgia can make. this area one
of the great industrial centers of
the world, according to Col. G. W.
Gillette. veteran army engineer.
Already, he says, congress has ap-
proved for this potentially rich in-
dustrial area hydroelectric develop-
ments totaling 2,100,000 kilowatts,
almost equal to -the TVA's present
capacity. Surveys, underway in the
Altamaha Basin, he added, may turu
up an additional 500,000 kilowatts
and extend the total .beyond 2,500,-
000. "And that," he said, "would
represent the greatest installed pro-
duction of hydroelectric power any-
where in. the world."
Gillette defined, the southeastern
development area as lying within a
20,0-mile radius drawn from a point
100 miles south of Atlanta, witnr
Tuscaloosa, Ala., and Pensacola on

Chain


Letters

Hit This City


Gullibles Working Overtime To Get
In On New "Get-Rich-Quick"
Scheme; Is Law Violation P

Last Friday the editor was ap-
proached. by one, of our nearby
business men and invited' to spend
two bucks for a chain letter that s
would "bring in at least $2000." We- S
informed him we weren't inter- tl
ested, and he told us we were over- c
looking a wonderful opportunity. M
"Why," he said, "up in Quincy one h
man went the, whole way and drew p
down $2,0,50 and went out and got r'
himself a new car."' h
Much as we would like to replace
our 1938 Plymouth with a newer \w
model, we told Mr. Man we just se
couldn't see it. r
This was the first we had heard s
oft the, "$2.00 bonanza," so we went f'
out Saturday in quest of further In-
formation and details, and ,we were w
given two more opportunities to get to
in on the "get-rich-quick" scheme. w
We tried to explain to one lady of c
our acquaintance who was In on it
that it was against the postal regu- a
went through the mails, that there
the letters were "sold" from hand
to hand and that only the money
went through he mails, that ther'A
was nothing the postoffice de.part-
ment could do about it.
-We tried to wean here away from
the idea )by pointing out that you s
can't possibly get $2000 for nothing T
unless you hold up a ,bank, anc that
somebody, somewhere along the t
line was going to be a '"u.ic'ker," that
if anyone got anything it would 'be t
the wise boys 'wh.o originated the
idea. But she 'was adamant, and t
still believed she was going to be
the recipient of a shower of $2.00
bills.
Much as we hate to puncture this
golden balloon of .so many of our
gullible citizens, we quote from a
postal bulletin of August 2.6, 1947:
"The postoffice department has
received complaints that a. new
chain letter scheme is spreading
throughout the nation. This scheme
differs from those previously en-
countered in that participants are
warned not to forward the chain
letter through the mails, but to keep
the letter and send $2.00 to the
person whose name heads the list
of 10 appearing thereon.
"It appears 'that the originators
of this .scheme have the erroneous i
belief that by not sending the let-

Gubernatorial Polls
Show Warren Leads

iPolls. on the gubernatorial candi-
dates, one being conducted by Joe.
Abram's of Jacksonville. and, another
by A. W. Morrison of Miami, fail to
develop any new or startling infor-
nation. Fliller Warren leads com-
fortaibly in both of them. They dif-
fer, however, on Colin Engllsh, wno
is in second place in the. Jax poll
but shows little strength in the Mi-
ami poll.
Frank T. Tracey of Jacksonville,
self-styled "political prognosticator"
quotes odds of 1-20 on Warren witLi
Shands, English and Watson in see-
cond place at 3-1. He has McCarry
at 5-1, MacFadden at 50-1, and Poi-
"Ltt and Cooper at 1001.
The Florida News Service says
that during the 'past week both Mc-
Carty and Shands have been mak-
ing substantial gains and that Wat-
son. wlho a month ago was in sec-
ond place, seems to have lost
ground due to inactivity.

STARDUST and
MOONSHINE

Haven't got much to "Dust" about
this week-too much "Moonshine"
meibibe. Anyway, we"have
a communication from one of our
readers in regard to that little ar-
ticle we had' on the front page last
week in regard to "Soa Beds." S-ez
he (in part):
"Dear Editor Bill-Weren't you
getting the Soa mixed up with the
Koa bird? And, too, safety razors
weren't invented 50 years ago--I
think. Oif course, gin bottles have
been in existence for thousands of
years. T-he Koa IS extinct, for the
last living specimen was found in
Alaska in 1890 on the Kuskokwim
River by that famous Russian gen-
eral. Ale-xei Nikoloyevitch Kuropat-
Ida, while on a scouting expedition
for Joe Stalin to gather data on the
Communistic tendencies of the ter-
ritory preparatory to yanking it be-
hind the iron curtain."
We don't know about the Koa,
but. if this ge'ntl,-man will look at


our last week's story again he will
realize that we didn't mention
safety razors-all we -said was "old
razor blades." And just to be more
explicit, the Soa used only blades
made of the. best Sheffield steel.
Now here's an honest man! .
Henry Bozeman of Wewahitchka,
in announcing his candidacy for
the county commission from Dis-
trict 1 come-s right out and says he
wants the job because he wants it
and believes he can be. of real serv-
ice to the people. Most can-
didates claim they are running for
office because their friends have
urged then to.
Dan Brooks sure treats his little
brother, Joe, mean. He built
living quarters for Li'l Joe in the
rear of his ne.w ,building on Reid
Avenue "so's I won't have to hire
a night watchman." Anal we
thought our quarter Scotch ances-
try made us tight!

No March Closed Season,
Says. Fish Commissioner
* Sportsmen can continue uninter-
rupted fresh water fishing through-
out March despite, the fact that reg-
ulations printed on their fishing li-
censes say otherwise, according to
Director Ben Morgan of the state
game and fresh water fish commis-
sion. He said, the licenses were
printed and issued before the com-
mission's January ruling abolishing
the March closed season.
.Morgan pointed out, nowever.4
that all fressh water fishing will be
closed during April ana May in ten
Northwest Florida counties, Gulf,
Bay, Franlklin, Liberty, Jefferson,
Wakulla, Leon, Gadsden, Calhoun
and, Jackson.
The annual March closed season
wa.s discarded after John Dequine,.
chief fisheries ;biologist, revealed
that an 18-mon-th .survey had con-
vinced him that there was "no need
for any closed. season on bass and
bream in Florida.'
Apparently Northwest Florida is
not considered a part of the statE.
else why the closed season here
while the remainder of the state is
open the year 'round to fishing?
Let's secede.

Only Six Attempts To. Find
Oil In State- Are Successful

There have been 194 attempts to
find oil in Florida, but only six
have been successful, according to
State Geologist Herman Gunter.
In a survey of Florida oil explor-
ations since 1900, Gunter said more
drilling attempts may bring a solu-
tion to ,pro)ble-ms.facing oil seekers.
The six producing wells are an:
located in Collier county's Sunni-
land field operated by the Humble
Oil Company. The first producer'
was'brought in during 1943, and a
total of 359,710 barrels of oil have
been produced in Florida since.
"That production so far has not
been found outside the Sunniland
field apparently has not discour-
aged the major oil companies,"
said Gunter, "for prospecting con-
tinues generally throughout the
state."
He declared it could not Tbe said
more production will not "follow
continued exploratory eilforts,' and
adde-d present activity shows there
must be some basis for explorations.
There are but 11 of Florida's 67
counties in which test wells have
not been drilled. However, most of
them have been abandoned.

Our Country Right or Wrong

AMEN, BROTHER WILLIAMS
Ed Williams, publisher of the Bonifay Ad-
vertiser, has thiis to say anent the approach-
ing baseball season :
"The baseball season is fast approaching',
and baseball enthusiasts and other public-
spirited citizens of Bonifay have taken cog-
nizapce of the fact.
"There remains but one major problem to be
solved ere the season opens. That is the ques-
tion as to the brand of baseball to be played on
the local field: that is, amateur, semi-profes-
sional or strictly professional.
"The Interstate League, made up of neigh-
boring towns to the westward of Bonifay, fin-
ished its first league season last fall, starting
out as a more or less amateur league, and end-
ing the season as a more or less professional
league. Its success was not pronounced.
"Neither do we believe that a professional or
semi-professional team would meet with much
success in Bouifay. This town, and other towns
in close enough proximity to be encompassed
in the same league, are not of sufficient popu-
lation to support this type of baseball, in our
belief. In professional baseball 'each manager
vies with the other team managers in the
league to hire players of enough ability to help
then capture the league championship. This
tends to lead to higher and higher pay for the
players, with the net result that th i 'mague
would probably end up 'in the red.'.
"Aside from.this argument, we also prefer
to see the local talent, our own boys, out there
on the diamond giving their all for the pure
love of the sport, professionalism and the pay
check not bothering their young minds."


THE SMALL MERCHANT HAS IT
For ten years the editor of The Star, off and
on, has been telling his readers to trade with
their home-town merchants rather than spend
their hard-earned money in neighboring cities
or send it to mail order houses. How much
good we have done, we don't know, but our
continual plugging on the matter is backed up
by L. J. Jensen, who has this to say on the
matter in the February issue of the Merchants
Trade Jourilal:
'"More people, because of more dollars in
their possession, have become more merchan-
disc conscious. They have had a taste of trot-
ting off to regional trading centers for shop-
ping tours; they have become preoccupied
with the size of metropolitan stores. The situ-
ation has affected the merchandiser in the
smaller city and town. In some instances he is
getting to feel that the big town competition
may be too much for him.
"But I do not agree with that idea. Taken by
and large, from coast to coast, my experience
has been that although I can get almost any-
thing in merchandise in New York and Chicago
and San Francisco. I fare best in the long run
by depending exclusively on my smaller city
merchandiser. The reasons are the obvious
factors so often overlooked.
"The smaller city department and general
store merchandiser usually deals in standard
and established lines which are backed by his
own judgment. He becomes acquainted with
my desires and builds up confidence in his
recommendations. And, because his overhead
is less per sale, his markup is less than his big
city neighbor. All of which means that it is
more profitable and satisfactory for mne to deal
at home than to travel to'the bigger market-
ing centers."
And that, dear reader, comes direct from the
horse's mouth. So reconsider when and if you
are tempted to buy something from the mail
order "wishing books" or think you can do
better in Panama City, Marianna, Tallahassee
or Dothan. Your home town merchant needs
you and you need your home home town
merchant.

An editor asks the cause of the craze for
dark glasses. Has he considered tate possibility
that the wearers are merely trying to avoid
the attention of the committees investigating
communists and grain market manipulators?

Tile Picture Painting
Ceramic tile, generally thought of
in connection with the modern
home, has been used in construction
'for more than 6.500 years and in
many countr'--; uas ocen regarded
as an imporla:nt art medium. Fran-
cisco Niculose, a 16th century Italian
artist, enjoyed working with tile so
much that he designed many tile
pictures, painted continuously over
a number of tile squares. Such pic-
tures .we-e at one time popular in
Spain. Portugal, the Netherlands
and Italy. Today tile murals some-
times are used in the United States
as decoration for important com-
mercial and public buildings.

Decline in Wool
Domestic shorn wool production
reached a peak of 388 million pounds
in 1942. Since then, wool production
and the numbers of stock sheep on
farms and ranches have declined
continuously to a leVelnow 34 per
cent below 1942. The number of
stock sheep at the first of this year
was the lowest in a record that goes
back to 1867. Declines have occurred
in all parts of the country.
Clergyman's Loom
First successful power loom was
invented by Edmund Cartwright,

tion. .He also was the inventor of an
alcohol machine.

Hudson's New

Styling Upsets

Plans of Rivals


Ward's automotive reports said
re-cently that advanced styling or
the new Hudson passenger car "has
created a virtual panic among rival
designers and has upset schedules
of other manufacturers for introduc-
tion of 1949 models."
Ward's, an industrial statistical
agency of Detroit, said that new
models, with exception of new Mer-
curys, Foi'ds and Lincolns, would
be delayed until the last three
months of this year, in many cases
probably not until November or De-
cember.''"
"Ch.rys.ler was hit particularly
hard. by the Hudson designs, means'
during the. impact 'by reshulm fling of
1948 schedules necessary to permit
tool and d ie changes." Ward's said.
The statisticians said that 1949
Chryslers, Dodges, Plymouths anC
DeSotos would not 'be put into pro-
duction until the end of the year,
instead of- earlier plans to bring
them out in midyear.
Ward's sa-id changeovers were
made at Lincoln last month, with
volume production by April; trie
Mercury line to switch facilities in
March and reach volume output by
April, and for the new Fords to hit
volume, production ,by May.
"Two General Motors divisions,
Cadillac and Oldsmoabile. were too
far along with neyw models plans to
alter them because of Hudson, so
they soon will be in production,"
Ward's said. "Other CM sections
should be able to develop 1949 offer-
ings with any modification thought
necessary to meet the Hudson com-
petitive threat."
Ward's predicted that Nash, Stu-
debaker and other independents
would bring out their new models
late this year and would have timo
to incorporate any designs neces-
sary.

-RepubJi~czC onjessrman P.-T. A. Regional Meet
From Florida Would Get


Results, Says Canida te


Terming 1948 as Florida's golden
opportunity to lead the South as a
two-party state, M. J. Moss of Or-
lando, candidate for congress from
the 5th congressional district on the.
Republican ticket, points out that
as long as this state is looked on
by both parties as "in the bag" we
never can get the federal consider-
ation and appropriations we are
entitled to.
He contends that it we elect a
Republican to congress this year it
will open their eyes' and, as a ie-
sult, we can get our sorely-needCed
water control and waterways de-
velopment.
From what we hear around Port
St. Joe there should be a Republi-
can candidate tfor congress from
this district.

Policemen Get Last Laugh
On Frisky Tavern Joker
ELKHART, IND. A woman
who called Elkhart police and
asked to be arrested was only
kidding. But the cops got the last
laugh.
The woman said she was drunk
ancTwould they send a squad car
to a tavern to pick her up. When
police arrived, she had disap-
peared. .
A few minutes later, she called
again, from another tavern. This
-time the desk lieutenant engaged
her in a long conversation.
While he talked, other police
raced,\to the tavern and arrested
the befuddled woman before she
had finished Mer conversation.


Three Scolds Go on Record;
,Sisters Get Jail Sentences
PITTSBURGH, PA. A phono-
graph record and a rarely invoked
law were combined to bring jail
sentences to three sisters, charged
with being "common scolds."
Helen Znosko, 35, and her sister,
Betty, 26, of West Natrona, were
given 13 to 23 months in Muncy In-
dustrial Home for Women, while
the third sister, Josephine, 23, drew
three months in the county jail.
The phonograph record played
in the courtroom-was produced by
Francis Pastor Jr., who said it was
made by means of a recording ma-
chine in ,the doorway of the Pastor
home during an argument involving
the three sisters and Pastor's father
over shrubbery.
The elder Pastor charged the
sisters used "vile and abusive re-,
marks."
The charge of "common scold"
can be brought against women only.
