VOLUME XI PORT ST. JOE, FLORIDA, FRIDAY, MARCH 19, 1948 NUMBER 25

Several Officials

Unopposed As

Deadline Nears

Are Keeting Fingers Crossed Wail
ing On Closing of Filing
Tomorrow Noon

A number of county officials art
keeping their fingers crossed an<
rubbing their lucky pieces in the
hopes that they\ will have no oppo
siton for re-eleqtion at the coming
May primaries.
Tomorrow at noon is the final
time for candidates for county oi
fices to file and, probably as Ir
past years, there will be several
dark horses tog their fedoras -into
the political ring at the last pos
sible moment.
As we. went to press yesterday
those without opposition 'were 3. E.
Pridgeon, county judge; Uncle Edd
Pridigeon, county tax collector; Toir
Owens, school superintendent; Mrs
Ednie Rish, supervisor of registra
tion. and Sammy Patrick, tax as-
sessor.
There is a rumor gofng the rounds
that a St. Joe man will seek Pat-
trick's job, and it is pretty certain
that there will (be a third entry in
the sheriff race.
Three are seeking the, position
to be made vacant by Joe Hunter as
clerk of the circuit court; three are
seeking the haribormaster post for
the local port, and candidates for
the five seats on the board of com-
miss.ioners may .be found behind
every tree in the county.

HOLY WEEK SERVICES

(Continued from page 1)
Last Supper on the night of I-i'
betrayal. There will be no three-
hour service on Good Friday, the
lecture Friday night taking the I
place of that service.
This series of lectures is designed
to answer questions about the
Christian faith, said Rev. Byrnc,
and an opportunity will be given
those who attend to place questions
in a box, to be answered at subse-
quent services. In addition there
will 'be a celebration of the Holy
Communion every morning next
week, except on the morning of
Good Friday.
Next Sunday and on Easter Day
the regular schedule of services
will be followed, with IHoly Con-
muunion at 7:30 a. m. Sunday, morn-
ing prayer at 10, and on Easter Day
Holy Communion at the same hour.
In regard to his series of lectures
Mr. Byrn, said: "Man's. world and
man himself is in a mess as a re-
sult o.f his false assumption that he
can do without God. Man's great
material advance has caused this
false. assumption. Now we are reap-
ing the harvest of such an assump-
tion. The crux of the matter is that
we have said there is no God, ant
now we find that we cannot live
without Him. M'an must stop anc
thinkand recover his faith, a rea-
sonable faith in God and hims.lf."

"Is sleep a thing to dread? Yet
sleeping you are dead
Till you awake and rise, here,
or beyond the skies."

The beauty of every detail-
a service that inspires a sense
of peace and hop--quiet dig-
niry. Th-*se are reasons why
so many families in this sec-
tion call upon us to serve when
the need arises.

Lighthouse Keeper Found Dead
E. W. \lMarler, a.-sistant keeper of
the San Blas light, was found dead
in his workshop Wednesday noon
by one of his small daughters. Ho
was lying in a pool of blood with 13
stab wounds around the heart, oie
in the throat, and one hand nearly
severed from the arm. Nearby ,were
lying a knife and hatchet. The
theory was first advanced that Mar-
ler had taken his o-wn life..but after
viewing the body Sheriff Parker
doubted that a man could inflict so
many and such deep wounds on his
person. No verdict was rendered -)y
the coroner's jury as to whether it
was murder or suicide.

DEAR SHOPPERS:
Granny Holliday- tells us she, will
!be 94 years, old April 7. Nearly
everybody knows her and loves her.
She is a devout Christian and Meth-
odist and attends Sunday School
and church whenever possible. .
Granny ,tells us that .she reads and
enjoys The Tattler, although her
vision makes it rather difficult. .
Thank' you, Granny, for your kind
word-s. You give us new courage and
hope.
Our friends and customers speak:
"It was a wonderful Faishion Show
and I certainly enjoyed i.t." "Lovely
clothe-s and beautiful models." "It
was revealing to know Boyles De-
partment Store had this kind of
merchandise." "Your Second Birth-
day Values arc, almost unlIbelieve-
a;blc." "The Globe Tailoring Dis-
play is one of tlhe most outstanding
you've had." Space permits us to
touch only a few of the kind and
heartening comments that have
come to us. One lady in whose opin-
ion w' would place a great deal of
confidence had this to say over the
telephone: "I think it was one of
the nicest a.fllairs that Port S-t. Joe
has ever had."
Friends and customers, you have
spoken. It is needless .for us to say
more. However, we wish to express
to you through this medium our
sincere, heartfelt thanks and deep
appreciation for your interest, kind-
ness and thoughtfnulness. 'We wish
to thank the Port St. Joe Woman's
Clut) for a job well done. We wish

to recognize 1the splendid effort or
the committee -that handled the
various details. This committee.
was made up o f the following mem-
bers: Mrs. Katherine Davis, prest-
dent of the club, Mrs. Rush Chism
and Mrs. Leonard Sutton. This was
an Action Committee! !Mrs. Noble
H. Stone presided at the piano with
music both beautiful and appropri-
ate.
Putting it a new way: (Custdmer
quips): "See my sunken chest?"
(speaking of hisbhay window). "It's
a grunt too small." (He was trying
on a suit.) The sense orf Iunmoi
some of our customers display is
one of the .finest things about this
wonk. Some of them give u:i needed
inspiration. Fo0r instance, here
walks in a Globe Suit customer with
a little girl about one ,year old Il
one arm and a wiry, husy little boy,
11anging on the other hand. We call
that courage as well as apprecia-
tion for Globe Tailoring products.

Our Country B Right or Wrong

WE MUST BE MILITARILY STRONG
"The Czech People Have Now Set Their Feet
Firmly On the Road to Freedom and Democ-
racy." That headline was splashed across the
jlrst page of one of the largest newspapers in
the world the day after the Communists took
over the Czecholovakian government. The pa-
per, as the reader may have guessed, is pub-
lished in the Soviet Union. Its name is Pravada,
which means "Truth."
This particular Communist achievement has
an ironical twist. Czechoslovakia was largely
the creation of an American with a passionate
faith in representative government, Woodrow
'Wilson, and its constitution was patterned af-
ter ours. Its president, Eduard Benes, is a dem-
ocrat with a complete distrust of the Com-
mriunist ideology. He fought as long as he
could against the Red onslaught. But in
Czechoslovakia, as in other countries, the Com-
munist technique proved sound. No one knows
just what proportion of the Czech people really
want communism, and it hardly matters, for
the Communists were superbly organized and
disciplined, and the opposition was weak and
divided; devoting much of its energies to in-
ternal quarrels. Thus, this Communist victory
was much like those which have gone before
-except, in Czechoslovakia, there was no need
for much force of arms. But no one doubts that
the arms would have appeared and been used
had Clement Gottwald, the Communist leader,
thought them necessary.
Now, following this Communist coup in
Czechoslovakia, Stalin's demands for a "de-
fense" agreement with Finland, and mounting
totalitarian pressures in France, Italy and other
European nations, the international situation
,has been brought to its worst point since 1939.
It is clear that those who dislike and envy
us abroad respect only one quality in a coun-
try-and that quality is military strength. It
is not war-mongering to say that the United
States must maintain a defense establishment
far more effective than any we have ever had
in peacetime so long as the world remains in

its present explosive state.

WHAT THEY THINK OF HARRY'S BILL
Anent the furore that has been created, in
the South over the Truman deliverance on civil
rights, we'd like to pose a question: Is there
anything about these matters that is agitating
the South and the Democratic party of the
South in particular at this time that cannot be
laid at the door of long and rigid adherence to
the one-party system down here? We could
answer that question, but we propound it more
to stir thought than to get our own answer in
the record.
---Fort Payne (Ala.) Times.
The explosion in the South has all turned out
to be a false alarm--somewhat of a joke!
When the southern critics and some of their
representatives .on Capitol Hill examined the
president's remarks more carefully, they had
to admit that his arguments were all supported
by the Constitution of the United States, which
provides equal suffrage rights for all qualified
voters---meni and women !
-Montpelier (Indiana) Herald.
The only salvation for the South, as matters
stand today, is the two-party system. It is im-
perative, it the South is to keep its heritage
and its traditions, that it learn to vote Repub-
lican at least half the time.
-Ft. Lauderdale (Fla.) Daily News.
WVhile we appreciate the feelings of the aris-
tocratic South, the great majority of the Aim-
erican people will hail the courage of Presi-
dent Truman in sponsoring the civil rights bili
providing for greater equality among the peo-
ple of this great country. It took real courage
on the part of the president to take this action
in view of the anti-racial feeling that has ex-
isted in the southern states these many years.
-Salt Lake City (Utah) Times.

BETTER THAN TAX CUT
House Republicans pass a six billion dollar
tax cut. Suppose, instead of reducing taxes by
that amount, the six billions were collected
and used to reduce the national debt. To weigh
the benefits that would flow therefrom, let's
examine some other round rigures:
Public debt-$256,000,000,000.
Interest on public debt-$5,250,000,000.
Population of U. S. A.-140,000,000.
Per capital share of public debt-$1,828.57.
A six billion dollar cut in the debt would re-
duce the per capital share of the debt $42.85.
Which would be quite an .average saving for
men, women and children.-Pittsburgh Press.

A news dispatch Saturday said that "the
Democratic party's high command decided Fri-
day to fight its presidential campaign on two
issues : Peace and prices." Don't tell us they're
going to disregard High Handed Harry's anti-
poll tax, anti-segregation, anti-lynching pro-
gram !

It is with a great deal of pleasure and satis-
faction that we learn the new ball park is to be

Bill Shands'Het Up'
Over Sales Tax Talk

Gives Challenging Public Answer
To Critics Trying To Pin
Label On Him
1W. A. Shand's, candidate for go\,
ernor, Wednesday ilignt at Orlanao
slapped a challenging public answer
at critics who have been trying to
pin a -sales tax label on him. At the
same time he asserted that he
never has been and is not now in
favor of a general sales tax.
"But remember that Florida lives
on sales taxes," said Shands. "More
than $86,000,000 o!f her revenue
comes from four sales taxes-gaso-
line, ,beverage, racing and cigarets.
Would those who attack the sales
tax repeal or veto these four sales
taxes? And wlie.re would they start
cutting olf' services if they did?
Would they close the schools, cut
oft the aged, the crippled, and tihe
blind? Or are they, after all, in fa-
vor of these sales taxes?
"They say I introduced a sales
iax bill in the legislature. So I did.
but it was not' a general sales tax
on all commodities. I proposed a
replacement tax to relieve the
excessive burden on real estate, to
allow resultant business develop-
ment and to give relief to munici-
palities. I made certain it would not
place a burden on the low-incorme
"A r-placement tax is far differ-
ent from a general sales tax on all
conmnoditie.s. I 'ineu' when I intro-
duced the replacement tax bill in
1947 that it would be smeared as a
sales tax-tbut I knew also that
there was not enough money to pro-
vide the benefits and services the
people expect of this state.
"Those who criticize it do not tell
you what benefits it was d,-signed
to provide.. They do not tell you
that it placed no tax on staple
foods; that it provided for a re-
*. turn oaf money to muni cpalities and
'e. towns; that it would have required
a lowering of real estate taxes;
that it was aimed at the big fellow
and would not have imposed a ,bur
den on the man of small means.
"No-these are the, prophets of
false economy again. They promnlt-
two chickens in every pot and a
bonus for eating them. They prom-
ise state improvements which cost
millions, yet they would cut your
taxes at the same time. It can't be
done. They know it and you know
it."

STARDUST and

MOONSHINE

We mentioned in this column a
couple of weeks ago that we be-
lieved Dan Brooks had quite a bit
of Scotch blood flowing through his
veins, and now we know it. .
Fonzo Gilibert needed a particular
type of lock for a construction job
and Dan didn't have one in stock-
but he did have one, on the back
door of his, store building. .
Yep. you've guessed it: He took the
look off and sold it to Fonzo! We
casually remarked: "Dan, I'll bet
you'd sell your wife if you could
get a good enough price for her.-
To which h-, replied: "You're darn
tootin' I'd sell her if I could get out
what I've got invested.'

Quite a bit of speculation was
aroused Sunday as to just what Doc
Ward hIad been iup t. Seems
he came tearing in from Beacon
11ill at umpteen miles per .hour,
hitting only the high spots, with
Highway Patrol.man Olin Davis
right on his tail and his siren
s.creanmnin.g like a banshee. Odds
were offered by betting folks that
Olin wouldn't catch Doc-with no
takers. However, it turned
out that Doc had been called at the
hospital for an emergency and Olin
had been sent out to round him up.
Apparently Doc had got the jump
on Olin on the return trip and w~as
never headed.

Mrs. G. L. Kennington was one
surprised housewife Monday when
a strange man knocked on .her door
and asked her if she had any bread
in the house. Mrs. K., thinking per-
haps the stranger was hungry and
asking for a handout, went into the
larder and came tip with four slices
of bread. Whereupon the stranger
dug down in his pocket and handed
her a. $5 bill. .She stared at
him as though she thought he was
crazy. Then he explained. Seems
it was- an advertising stunt, and
any housewife who happened to
have one particular kind of bread
on hand wthe.n he knocked on her
door received five bucks. .
Now a lot of local housewives are
going about their housework sing-
ing "Who's That Knocking At My
Door," with one ,ear cocked ex-
pectantly for the sound of knuckles
on their portal.

Editor Finlay of the Blountstown
Record, who seldom comes into Tile
Star office unless he needs so-me-
thing, like paper or metal rule, wav
telling us on his last borrowing trip
of the, strawberries he was raising
on his. rancho, boowv good they were,
and that he had been contemplating
bringing us some. Naturally, we
told him of the luscious berries we
used to raise i.n our backyard be-
fore they were. drowned out and
how his couldn't even begin to com-
pare with 'em. .. Ain't all ama-
teur gardeners the darndest liars?
. Almost as bad as fishermen,
although the gardener will spenu
more, to raise one tomato than the
fisherman will invest in a 5-pound
bass that in a short time increases
in 'weight to 10 pounds.

Looks like the south end of Reid

Emmett Daniel moved down that

Drug Store. Then Alex Young :,.
cated just across the street. And
now Ralph Swatts and J. R. Chest-
nut ha.e moved into Hig Stone's
new building opposite Durel Brig-
man's furniture store. That
leaves Clarence Pridgeon all by
himself down by the depot, and the
A & P half-way down the street.
