HELP PROMOTE PORT ST. JOE BY JOINING THE JUNIOR CHAMBER OF COMMERCE THE STAR The Home Newspaper of Northwest Florida's Future Industrial Center "TRADE AT HOME" SPEND YOUR MONEY WITH LOCAL MERCHANTS AND GET ANOTHER SHOT AT IT VOLUME XI PORT ST. JOE, FLORIDA, FRIDAY, APRIL 2, 1948 NUMBER 27 Voters Bewildered ACL Wins Another And Apathetic Over Gubernatorial Race Candidates All Have Same Routine With No Major Issues To Arouse Interest By RUSSELL KAY As the campaign for governor swings into its final month we find nine Democratic and two Republi can candidates in the. field and a more or less bewildered and apa thetic public. With no major issues of suffici- ent public interest to arouse much concern, candidates are finding. themselves hard pressed in their efforts to make an impression. Nothing naw or startling has beell injected into the campaign so far. A review of the various appeals made from the stump last week re- veals what might hbe termed "stan- dard, run-of-the-m.ill routine" politi- cal guminbeatings. Help for the cit- rus grower and the farmer, a sound business administration, economy. elimination of overlapping bureaus. better schools, aid for thl. old folks, elimination of the tax on gasoline for boats and agricultural use, bet- ter roads, improved public health, aid for municipalities, no new taxes -none of these has aroused any tidal wave of enthusiasm. So far the eleven man free-for-all has proven a rather tame affair. Contenders have contented them- selves with shadow-'boxing, sizing up their opponents and keeping out of each others way, with the ex- ception of Dick Cooper and Basil Pollitt, who dash out of their cor- ners, throw a wild punch and make themselves more, or less annoying to the. other boys who are sparring carefully and seeking an opening. With everything to gain and noth- ing to lose, Cooper has bravely .challenged the big boys to verbal duels and, has joined Pollitt in point- ing an accusing finger at campaign expenditures, which is one way to gain publicity and get in the other guy's hair. For the most part these antics of the les ser lights have ac- complished little. Prognosticators a nd( pollsters find general agreement that Fuller Warren is the man to beat, and the question as to second man is about I ] most debatable. one under din- cussion today. Answers vary, de- pending on who and where you ask. (Continued on page 2) Navy Issues Warning of Explosives Tests In Bay A communication received from the U. S. Navy Mine Countermeas- ure.s Station at Panama City states that "U. S. Navy underwater ex- plosions will 'be made intermittently during daylight hours from the Sthi through 22nd April inclusive, in thi' area bounded by latitude 29 50' 30" NI., longitude 85 2,3'00",,W.; latitude 290 '18'10" N., longitude 850 23' 00" W.. from these positions westward to m.an low tide line, St. Joseph Point, bay side. All craft are warned to resmnin clear o,f this area during daylight hours when firing will be conducted." Not being a seafarer, we can't say exactly where, this spot is, but probably at Eagle Harbor directly across the bavy from this city. So don't be alanmed between April 8 and 22 if your residence seems to take a jump into the air occasion- ally, as it will merely hbe the navy boys playing with their TNT, dyna- mite, or whatever it is they use in making those big "booms." 'Round In Contest For Control of FEC St. Joe Paper Company, Holder of Majority of FEC Bonds, Chal- lenges Ruling of Court The Atlantic Coast Line Railroad last week in Washington won an- other round in its long fight with * the duPont interests for control of the Florida East Coast Railway. However, the whole controversy appears headed back to the federal * courts' for final settlement. In a 6 to 5 ruling, the interstate commerce commission affirmed an order for merger of the FEC with the ACL. It refused to set aside its findings ol' April 8, 1947, that at re- p-ganization for the FEC could hbe best, carried out by consolidation with tAle AOL. The St. Joe Paper Company, owner of a majority o,f the $45,000.- 000 first and refunding bonds of the FEC, had challenged the find- ing. Indication that the paper com- pany intends to fight it out in the courts comes from Ed Ball, who said: "We are satisfied that under (Continued on Page 2) Scout Troop At Camporee Today Local Lads Will Participate In Two Days of Competition With Other Boys of Bay-Gulf District Members of Boy Scout Troop 47 will go to Davis Beach this after- Inoon with their scoutmaster, J.

Editor Consolidates Offices of Clerk of Court and Assessor While setting Leo Kennedy's announcement for the office of tax assessor last week, Ye Ed got it confused with a correction 'being made on another announce- ment and had Leo's statement headed "For Tax Assessor" but Tn the body we had him as a can- didate for clerk of the court. It caused consid-e-raible com- ment, and Sam "Catfith" John- son had a number of trusting suils believing that George Tap- per, at the last session of the legislature, had passed a bill con- solidating the two offices. Anyway, we offered, our apolo- gies to Leo and in this week's issue his announcement is cor- rect (we hope). fillll lli l lll l ll ll illl](I lllllllll111 lllllllllllll11llllll!lll Official of Crippled Children's Association To Be Here April 10 James H.

Mayor Explains Why City Water Still Off-Color Assures Users That They Soon Will Be Getting Clear, Pure Water From Their Taps Despite the fact that water from the new filter plant has been going into the city mains for some time, the water still carries a reddish tingle, and householders have been asking "Why?" Mayor J. L. Sharit, on behalf of the city administra- tion, gives the reason, as follows: "The recently installed filter unit put in by Lay'ne-Central Company of Memphis, Tenn.. for the city of Port St. Joe now has been in op- eration for a period of approximately two months and the results of its operation, 'through chemical analy- s-is of the treated water at the plant, shows that it is fulfilling the purpose for which it was purchased. There have been a f'exw complaints brought to my attention from citi- zens about the water, and the ques- ion has always been 'What has' hap- pened to it?' So I will try to ex- plain in detail just what is happen- ing at the present time.

Sharks wVill climax five weeks of' spring football prac- tice next Monday night at S o'clock when a regulation game will be played with the graduating senior' of last year's eleven. Spirit is running high between the present edition of the Sharks and the seniors who carried the team to a winning season last year. A good game is expected when the two groups meet. Admission will be 25c and 1,00, with the proceeds going to the ath- letic association. League Directors Will Meet Here To Approve Schedule Marienna Comes In To Make Eight Teams In Loop; First Games Set for Sunday, April 18 Directors of the Gulf Coast Base- ball League will gather in this city hext Monday, April 5. to approve this season's schedule and to take final action in joining the National Basesiball Congress' Association of Leagues. First games of the season are. scheduled for Sunday, April 18. ERight teams will' make the Gulf Coast League stronger and faster than last season, according to SgL. Don. Moore of Tyndall Air r'orce Base, .the league secretary, and joining the National Baseball Con- gress is another milestone in the long history of this league. Marianna became the eighth team .when their entry was accepted last. week. joining Blountstown and De- Funiak Springs as new members of the, loop. Port St. Joe, Apalachicola, Panama City, Wewahitchka and Tyndall Air Force Base are the re- turning nines. The Panama City Navy team and Carrabelle were unable to ,field teams this year. The St. Joe Saints finished oh top of regular season play last year, barely nosing out the Apalachicola Oystermen in the final drive, while the Tyndall Tornadoes clung to third place, over the stubborn We- wahitchika 'Gators. Panama City started slow but. with Apalachicola, was one of the most improved teams in the league by the season's end. The Saints and the Oystermen eliminated the Tornadoe-s and the 'Gators respectively, in. the first round games of the Shaughnessy playoffs, and in a thrill-packed finale, Apalachicola outlasted Port St. Joe to win the championship with a series that was forced to go thi entire distance. This season, with more teams, a strong umpires' association, better parks and better equipment, the league should enjoy the best sea- sin in its 25-year history. B ssides the three new teams and their night-lighted diamonds, Port St. Joe and Panama City will 'both be looking toward their new parks, Weowahitchka has steadily improved its diamond, and Tyndall may have a new diamond ready before the end of summer.

At a meetingg in Tallahassee last January, the state game and fresh water commission abolished the-an- nmil eclos'I season throughout the state with the exception of these 10 counties.

MotoristuTai Rates -, Called Higher Than Federal Income Tax The. average Florida motorist. pays taxes on his motor vehicle at a higher rate than the federal in- come tax, according to a bulletin received from the American Auto- mobile Association's Jacksonville office. This state-ment is based on the $112 which it is estimated the av- erage Florida motor vehicle owner pays in state and federal gasoline taxes, state registration fees and fed%.:-al automotive taxes each year. ."With an exemption for a wife and two children, the motorist would need an income of $2900 to pay a fed-eral income tax of $112," the bulletin stated. "But studies have shown that the majority of motorists are. found in income brackets well below this figure. "It might come as a great sur- prise to people who do not realize that the gasoline tax alone amounts to 81/2c on every, gallon-the result of a 7c state, tax and a 11/2c federal tax. When state registration fees and the numerous federal automo- tive excises are added to this, we naturally have, a stupendous tax burden." And on top of this, motorists who buy- gasoline, in Port St. Joe 'pay an additional 1c per gallon-tax levied by the city. ACL WINS ROUND (Continued from page 1) all laws and the American way of life, the property belongs to us and we anticipate, our views will be sustained by the courts." The long case, which has involved numerous hearings in Florida and Washington, is, under ordinary pro- cedure of .the litigation, headed di- rectly back to' the U. S. district court at Jacksonville. The. ICC de- cision is still subject to approval by Federal Judge L. W. Strum, be- fore whom reorganization proceed-. ings are pending. The district court decision also could be appealed to a higher court and the. final out- come of the eightt could be delayed for several more years. The dissenting interstate com- mnerce commissioners said they fa- vored approving the recommenda- tion of an 10C examiner that the[ St. Joe Paper Cofpany be permitted to take over and operate the line. "The record supports independent ownership and operation by local people rather than acquisition by the Coast Line," the minority as- serted.

Seed beds& at Munson are being incre-ased from 4 to 25 acres, and at Oiulstee from 16 to 25 to get the high seedling crop. Planting will take six weeks or more. This year's crop of 11,000,000 seedlings were planted in about four weeks. Most of these have now been removed from the 'beds and shipped to lanot- o'wners for transplanting.

The spoken word is given scant attention; the printed word is thoughtfully weighed. The spoken word barely asserts; the printed word thoroughly convinces. The spoken word is lost; the printed word remains. Our Country Right or Wrong HOW BIG WILL IT BE? The editor of The Star, along with practic- ally everybody else who sent in a check to the collector of internal revenue as an advance pay- ment of taxes on what we hope to make this year, is sitting back waiting to find out how big the check will be which we get back when the new tax bill goes through. It shouldn't be long now, unless the committees from the sen- ate and house get into a squabble while en- deavoring to reconcile the differences in the two measures. What strikes our fancy is that community property clause which allows husband and wife 'to split their income for tax purposes. A num- ber of states have allowed this for several years past, and it is only fair that it should apply ini all states. --A ; 4 * The tax bill probably will be vetoed by Pres- ident Truman, but it looks as though both houses will be able to muster enough votes to pass it over his veto, mainly because members of congress are notoriously against taxes in an' election year. They'd like to favor both the little fellow and the big taxpayer. But how? 'As one senator put it, "The trick is to pluck the goose with the least amount of hissing." All house members and a third of the senate is up for election in November, and they need votes. which come mostly from voters in the low income group-but they also need cam- paign contributions, which come from the rich. One lobbyist, franker than most, is reported to have said that "instead of playing for votes in the lower brackets, it would be better to get pools of capital from the higher brackets." .The bill would take about 7,500,000 people off the tax rolls, and that's a lot of votes to take into consideration with an election com- ing up. It would mean a saving of about $1.30 a week to a worker drawing $50 weekly and having a wife and two children. But regardless of what we're making, the big question still is: "How much will that re- fund check amount to?" We hereby declare our willingness to pay first-class postage on The Star if the federal bureaus will pay us space' rates for the propa- ganda they send us to print. STARDUST and MOONSHINE We started to go up the street the other night in our work cloths and our wife piped up: "Aren'.t you go- ing to change your clothess" We sorta objected, ibut she put on that act about how 'we should look neat at all times, etc., ,etc., and so we went upstairs and changed 'em. . But we had sweet revenge, when we dame downstairs. As we started out the door we turned and casually re- marked: "We may me the one who wears the. pants in this .household, but you're the one who .tells us what pants to wear." And then we lit out from there like sixty. Somebody 'brought up the sub- PROGNOSTICATORS AT WORK, Now that all the hats are in the political ring, the local prognosticators have begun to pick the winners. We find them on every cor- ner extolling the virtues of the various candi- dates they have selected as the winners. For instance, in a group of four, we find that Fuller Warren will be elected governor in the first primary, Colin English will to'p the list and go into the second primary with War- ren, Tom Watson and Dan McCarty will fight it out in the second primary, and that Bill Shands will be in there pitching after the first go-round. We like to listen to 'em all, and gen- erally chuck in our two-bits worth that we be- lieve the three top men will be Warren, Eng- lish and Watson, but put in the proviso that a lot of things can happen between now and May 4. Little mention is heard of candidates for other state offices. But where things really run riot among the predicters 'is on local county elections. They really go to town Most' of them generally concede that the hottest and closest race will be between "Little Ben" Dickens and Tommy Owens for school superintendent, with the tilt between Byrd Parker and F. R. Pippin in sec- ond place. LISTEN TO 'EM ALL Perhaps you. Mr. and Mrs. Voter, have al- ready made up your respective minds for whom you will vote in the various statewide races. In fact, you probably have, for very few voters are swayed by speeches made by office-seek- ers, and if no stumping tours were made by candidates there would be little change in the ultimate results. However, whether you are a rabid supporter of one or another candidate, andsto heck with the rest, we urge you to turn out and listen to them all when they speak in Port St. Joe. merely as a matter of decency and inl the in- terest of good government. If you're aginn that particular candidate you can have a heap of fun picking holes in his statements, and if you're fer the speaker you can applaud loudly, and shout "bravo!" 'Most of us merely, attend speeches of those for whom we have already determined to vote -so much so that ordinarily the number of people turning out to hear a speech generally will indicate which way the political wind blows. SPRIG IS CUB As we all know, spring has now officially arrived. But to we'uns on the Gulf it has been here for some time, as witness the azaleas in their gorgeous colorings, the showy array of dogwoods in the forests, the graceful drooping branches of the bridal wreath with clusters of 'tiny white blooms, the wild flowers blooming in the fields and in the ditches along the road- sides. Yes, without doubt, spring is here. And to those subject to cold germs, "Sprig is cub." A generous local hunter recently gave his companion both barrels by accident, but kept a quart for himself. ject ofl "grunting" worms, and P. D. Prows (it's really R. D.) piped up and said he. never wastes all that energy grunting for worms-- he just goes to the drug store, gets a quart ofr ammonia. sprinkles it on a likely looking spot and the worms come boiling up. ... And, says P. D., if sprinkling the ammonia about takes too much energy. just put some in a can, wave it about, and the worms will junip into the can. What next will these lazy hounds think of to get out o(' doing a little labor? We have received some addi- tional information in regard to the story on "Florida's Seven Smal: Railroads" published last week. A. P. Wakefield tells us that the Live Oak. Perry & Gulf, besides being the Loping Gopher, "Lives On Peas & Grits, and is told to Lean Over, ett informs us that the Marianna & Blountstown has been and stfll is known as "The Many Bumps," and that in years past the Apalachicola Northern was referred to ds "The Absolutely Nothing." And speaking of Patty Lovett. one evening last week he slipped a bunch of his political cards into the. coat pocket of Cap'n Bob Tapper 'when his attention was elsewhere, and it was several hours fbpfore 'Cap'n Tapper dis-covered that he was passing out Patty's cards. . Both are in the race for harbor- master. Our wife came home from the store Monday morning singing to herself, "They can keep it. I don't want it, it's too high for me,"'' and we. asked her what was biting her. "Do you know what T-bone steak is Push & Grunt." .. Patty Lov- selling for at themarkets?" Natur- ally, we expressed our ignorance on such a matter, and she replied: "A DOLLAR and FIVE CENTS A POUND!" (the capitals are hers if you can get that kind of an expres- sion in capitals). ,We were talking to Bill Enfinger the other night and he said, upon inquiry, that he was 52 years old. . To look at Bill, with his sparse locks and bifocals 'we'd take him to be at least 65. ..

He said what "irked him most" was the Trunman anti-segregation Iliw. "Keep white whites he said, "and black black. Give the negro civil rights due him as a free man, but not social equality.' which he does not in fact want." He asserted that intermarriage between the races was unthinkable.

"I beli-ve in separate voting." he said. "'"not that I so much object to standing in line with a. negro, ex- cept for the precedent which might lead to the breaking down of bther barriers and usurpation of other advantages. But the fact that I stand in iin.," he. added, "gives the negro no right to cormne into my house and eat and sleep with me." Core Stock From Waste . One of the most remarkable waste-saving operations in the lum- ber and woodworking industry is the process for manufacturing core stock from waste. A Wilmington, N. C., firm uses only discarded pine slabs and veneer log cores for raw materials. The former is used for softwood lumber core and the latter for hardwood cores. Three-quarter- inch-thick boards are salvaged from the slabs and log cores, kiln dried, ripped into strips, run through a glue spreader and processed through a homemade lumber core press. The finished product is a quality panel which has a fine repu- tation among consumers. -Ic More Buildings Promised Seven per cent gain in construc- tion contracts in 1948 over the actual volume reported for 1947 in the 37 states east of the Rocky mountains, is the promise of the F.

"We are now putting pure treated water into the city mains, and this water, being of different quality, will have a tendency to loosen up the iron and sludge that has ac- cumulated in the. mains during the past years; therefore, when one o;:ens a tap a colored water that may stain fixtures will come from the tap. This same water may be clear when drawn, but when ex- posed to the air will.turn its color. This is due to the sloughing off ot the iron and sludge in our distribu- tion system, although the water coming from the filter plant is prac- tically free from these elements. * "We who have studied these con- ditions realized that just this sort of thing was going to happen, and have been doing our very best to clear it up as soon as possible. At present we feel that the mains have cleared up enough :for us to go ahead and neutralize them so that the conditions now prevailing will clear up. "May I ask the public to bear with us for a short period so that we can clear up these conditions that have confronted us', a:id we I can assure you that a clear,, pure' water will be procured from the taps in the homes in the niear fu- ture."

One of these four, -he asserts, is reported to have raised a fund of $50,000 in onil So-ith Florida county alone. "This speaks very poorly for the business men backing his can- didacy," says Pollitt. "considering that he and they well know that the legal limit of a candidate for governor is $15,000. and so at this time I call on the four candidates in question to withdraw from the race."

That left a d ficit of still nearly $2,000, and Mr. Corvin called for prayers. They were interrupted by a long-distance telephone call. A friend of the church, who with- held his name, said a check for $2,000 was in the mail. The prayers were resumed on a note of thanksgiving. Six Simple Rules Listed For Saving Fuel Dollars MINNEAPOLIS. A m e r i c a n householders can save millions of dollars and help to avert any pos- sible fuel emergency by adopting a simple, six-point program of fuel conservation this winter, according to Thomas McDonald, vice presi- dent of Minneapolis-Honeywell Reg- ulator company. "Six time-tested rules can be the means of saving up to 50 per cent of the fuel budget in many homes," McDonald said. "With' mounting costs, this is important from an eco- nomic standpoint. It also will be im- portant from the point of comfort, if any emergency should arise." McDonald urged adoption of these six points: 1. Prevent overheating and main- tain uniform temperature. Keep daytime temperature as low as pos- sible consistent with comfort-about 70-and lower the thermostat set- ting at night. If you have a clock thermostat, it can be set to turn the heat down and up automatically. 2. Turn off heat in unoccupied rooms, including bedrooms during the ddy. Keep shades drawn and keep windows closed at night. , 3. Do not waste hot water. 4. Install storm windows and re- pair or close openings around doors and windows to effect complete in- sulation. 5. Replace missing boiler or fur- nace insulation. Insulate the hot water heater. 6. If in doubt, call your heating dealer for a check for your heating plant. Administration Warns Vets To Return Overpayments WASHINGTON. Veterans' ad- ministration warned former G.I.s that if they fail to repay the govern- ment for overpayments of subsist- ence allowances for education or training the money will be deducted from any future benefits. VA'said that if the veterans later apply for unemployment or self-em- ployment allowances while owing the government for subsistence over- payments the amounts will be de- ducted from their checks. VA said that federal statutes pro- hibit payment of government funds to persons indebted to the govern- ment. Instructions have been sent to state unemployment compensation agencies for recovery of overpay- rments. Recovery will be made through a system of cross-checks with VA re- gional offices and a central control in New York City. Veterans who have made ar- rangements to repay overpayments to VA are considered in good stand- ing and will not be affected by the policy. Brighton Remains Queen Brighton remains queen of Eng- land's seaside resorts, Her seaside supremacy began with publication of a book by a physician in 1750, and the visits of a new-making prince of pranks. The prince, later King George IV of England, built Brighton's pavilion as' a royal resi- dence. He was only 21 when he first went there in 1783 to visit his uncle. Where the prince led, the fash- ionable young court circle followed. Brighton became the seaside center of aristocracy, of nobles and nota- bles, including virtually all English men of letters. Zeus and His Cheese Ancient Greeks insisted cheese .was invented by Zeus. Farm and Boat Gas Tax Is Issue In Florida's current gubernatorial race, the. question of payment of the gasoline tax by farm vehicles and batss not using highways has become a real issue.

He says he would proclaim throughout, the .world the abounding virtues of Florida's unsurtpass.e.d revitalizing climate for physical, mental and spiritual iupbuilding. He advocates the 'reduction of war-time taxes and the elimination of bureaucratic agencies that add thousands to state payrolls with no benefit to the taxpayer. He. would cut governmental costs sharply/ eliminate dead wood and provide for a sound, economical business administration of state affairs.
