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."

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.

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! .

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.

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 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? Dressing, 23c quart.

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. - We notice a number of men around Port Joe who dress as well as their wives-and know they don't make that much money. 10 YEARS AGO From the Files of The Star St. Jce Designated As Port of Entry Word was received here this week from J.

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.

POTTER Candidate For STATE SWE NAT E 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.

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.

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.
