Marianna Drops

Out of League

At Last Minute


Opening Game of Season Scheduled
Here for Sunday, April 18,
With Panama City

We were informed Wednesday by
Floyd Hunt that last Monday the
Marianna team withdrew 'from the
Gulf Coast Baseball League due to
the fact that it could get no local
support.'This somewhat upsets the
schedule as drawn up by the league
secretary. and unless a new sched-
ule is drawn up, dates set for play
with Marianna will remain blank.
The season will officially open
on, Sunday, April 18, and at that
time the St. Joe Saints will meet
Panama City here at the old ball
park. It is hoped the ni..w stadium
will be at least partially complete
before the season ends.
Other games scheduled here are
as follows:
Wed., April 28-Wewahitchka.
Wednesday, May 5-Blountstoyn.
Sunday, May 16-Apalachicola.
Sunday, May 23-DeFu-niak.
Wednesday, June 2-Tyndall.
Wednesday, June 9-PanamaCity
Sunday, June 13-Wewalhitchka.
Wednesday, July 7-Apalachicola.
;Sunday, July 11-DeFuniak.
Sunday, July 18-Tyndall Field.
Sunday. July 20-Blountstow'n.
Sunday. July 25-Panamia City.
Wednesday, August 4 Wewa-
h1itchka.
Wednesday, August 11-Blounts-
town.
Sunday, August 22-DeFuniak.
Wednesday, Sept. 1-Tyndall.
Sunday, Sept. 5-Apalachicola.
We are unable to publish the en-
tire schedule at this time due ,to
the manner in which it has been
drawn' up and. we simply haven't
the time to untangle it.
One outstanding feature of the
schedule, is the fact that all Sunday
game>i played "by the DeFuniak
team will 'be played, away from
home due to the fact that the peo-
ple there do not patronize ball
games on Sunday.

Lane Gets Off To Good

Start With Columbia

Report of a game taken from the
Columbia, S. C., Record indicates
that John Lane, with the Columbia
Reds, is getting off to a good start
this season. We quote:
"Jim Gremillion looked like a
Gremillion dollars against Rock
Hill Saturday, playing pivot man on
a couple of double plays that started
with shortstop Johnny Lane. Lanm,
wa's perfectly at home at short. and
neither he nor Gremillion have
made an error.
"Lane was the batting sensation,
however, with two doubles, and a
single in four trips to the plate.
There are. few in the league that
can touch him on the paths, and he
should have no rival as leadoff
man.''

her aunt,. Mrs. Curtis Evans.

High Waters Cut

Off Supplies and

Mail From City


All East-West Traffic In This Sec-
tion of State Is Routed Over
Highway 98 Through St. Joe

Noticed all those "foreign" license
tags on cars passing through the
city during the past week? Reason.
for it is that Highway 98 has ;been
the. only road open to traffic be-
tween Tallahassee and. Pensacola.
Usually the greater part o'f the tour-
ist travel goes via Marianna on
Highway 90.
The recent high water in the
northern part of the state and ini
Georgia and Alab)ama have made a
number o'f main highways and rail-
roads impassable, thus cutting off
mail service and the movement of
foodstuffs and other supplies.
SSalesmen for wholesale concerns
coming into the city, while taking
orders, state that it might be some
time before delivery can be made.,
as their goods are held up some-
where along the line.
Postmaster H. A. Drake and his
assistants have ,been sitting-around",
twiddling their thumbs the greater
part of he week, although occasion-
ally a small trickle of mail has been
coming in. As an example, the edi-
tor of The Star received last Fri-,
day's papers from Bonifay, Blounts-
town, Milton and Chipley on Wed-
nesday morning, when ordinarily
we get them by Saturday.
One of the biggest holdups on
mail and freight, has been the

I am announcing my candidacy for re-election as your
Congressman. In that important office, I shall strive, as
in the past, to represent you in a manner which is pro-

You know the gravity of the world situation. Because
of the dangers which threaten our country and because
cf important domestic measures, I cannot take the time
from my work for a full-scale campaign.

paign. I am confident my interests will be in safe and
capable hands.
On May 4th I believe we shall win the greatest victory

/ person who is interested in good government, and I
pledge you personal interest and constructive service in
your problems and those of your community. You will

FOR OUR CUSTOMERS!

WE ARE PLEASED TO ANNOUNCE THAT WE HAVE INSTALLED A


PERMAFUSE BONDED


BRAKE MACHINE
IN OUR SERVICE DEPARTMENT

This is the latest method in relining brakes and a great improvement
over the old method. The lining is FUSED to the shoes instead of be-
ing riveted as heretofore. By using this method, rivet wear on brake
drums is eliminated and the lining will wear twice the life .of the con-
ventional type. Latest model cars come from the factory with brake
lining fused to brake shoes instead of riveted.

Our Country -" Right or Wrong


WE SECOND THE MOTION, HANK
Henry McLemiore, who syndicates a daily
column to a large number of nc\vspapers, re-
,cently came forth with an idea which the ed-
itor of The Star has often suggested, although
he puts it much more strongly. Says Hlenry,
in part:
"When the vote on universal military train-
inmg comes up, let us carve in marble, or some
other enduring substance, the names of those
legislators who vote against it.
"'When and if war comes, let the head of
the draft board go straight to this list and call
up these men for service. Let them be
the first group of men (?) graduated from a
training cycle, and let them be the first ones
to drop as paratroopers, or the first to hit the
beach as infantrymen, or the first flies to set
off into the unknown with death as a co-pilot,
or the first sailors to rear back against the
kick of an anti-aircraft gun and stay there as
the final curtain comes hurtling down from
the sky.
"I wonder how many of the men who said
-we didn't need to prepare for World War II
have visited the hospitals where our wounded
are and apologized for their idiocy ? 1 wonder
liow many have had the plain common decency
-to say they were wrong, and how many have
given of their earnings to the relief of the
:maimed, the halt and the blind? My guess is
-that you could count such legislators on the
-thumb of your right hand.
"If my plan is carried through ... [ want
to see the first pot-bellied congressman or sen-
ator as he hits the silk with the 82nd Airborne..
I want to see him in the tank ramp waiting
-for the door to open that will send him bound-
ing toward a beach where men who want to
kill him wait. I want to be there when he
stands- at the wheel of a landing craft and runs
it inl, come hell or high water. I want to see
him when he does a -little skip bombing. In
short, I want to see this fearless soul quit being
:a windbag and get out there and stand up
Hike .a man."
:And we'd like to add to Henry's outpouring
the suggestion that when and if war comes, we
round up all of those who have been extolling
the virtues of the Russian 'way of life-such
as Henry Wallace and Claude Pepper, just to
mention twxo-load them in a B-29. fly them
them into Joe Stalin's back yard.


PLANNED CONFUSION
Looks like somebody is trying to dig the
01'A up out of its grave, and if they do start
S,- ii'-, it's going to become a major politi-
cal issue cutting across party lines.
To those \who don't know the ups and downs
and the whys and wherefores, the idea is quite
appealing, for it suggests the economic Utopia
-I)%\ living- costs coupled with the highest
family incomes ever earTned.
The editor of The Star hates to puncture so
pretty a balloon as this, but the truth is that
price control w%-on't work and can create noth-
ing lbut-chaos. WVe've seen right here in Port
St. Joe what happens. Manufacturers and
farmers refuse to produce foods and commodi-
ties on which an arbitrary low'price deprives
them of a profit, with the result that shelves
of local stores become bare. Scarce items-in-
cluding many basic necessities-can be pur-
chased only in the black market at fantastic
prices--we've seen it happen right here in St.
Joe while OPA Awas alive. The big money is
earned by racketeers and gangsters.
High prices today are the result of irresis-
tible economic and governmental forces. They
aren't the fault of retailers, manufacturers, or
any other, of the special groups which are
singled out for criticism. That will still be true
whether they go up or down in the future.
Price control has been an utter failure i-rs
Europe, even when the toughest police state
methods have been used in an attempt to make
it a success, and price control here would mean
our acceptance of a totalitarian device which
has never succeeded and has been a depressive
influence wherever tried.

HE SHOULD SERVE US WELL
It isn't often that The Star comes out edi-
toria'lly in support of local candidates, but we
feel justified in endorsing the candidacy of E.
Clay Lewis, Jr., who is seeking the circuit
judgeship of the 14th judicial circuit to be va-
cated by Judge Ira IH utchison, since we know
that E. Clay is fully qualified'for the position.
Mr. Lewis has served the people of Gulf
county well and ably in various capacities
since the county was created in 1925, he h'as
been engaged in the general practice ,of law'
since 1929, apd for the past three and a half
years lie has served as assistant state attorney
of the 14th circuit, thereby absorbing much of
the necessary knowledge and procedure re-
quired in conducting the circuit court sessions.
We sincerely believe that E. Clay is the man
for this particular job, and we also feel that
those of our readers who know him will con-
cur with us in the opinion that if he is elected
he will serve us well.

Southern politics appears to be taking a dras-
tic turn against, the Democratic party. It is
beginning to look like the South will become
a Whig entente.

zens of the circuit proud of having
elected me. I will always endeavor
to reflect credit to the circuit, its
citizens and the state of Florida,
and with honor to myself.
"'I honestly believe I am going to
be elected, and I pledge you that
no person will be persecuted at my
hands to the delight of some other
person when no law has been vio-
lated, and neither will any person
guilty of crime go unprosecuted be-
cause of fear or favor, reward or
the hope thereof."''

Before April showers bring May flowers they're sure to bring
plenty of dismal days ... and the drearier the weather, the
cheerier you'll want to make your meals. So here's a gay array
of ideas to help you brighten up your table ... and save money
for a rainy day as well:


SUNSHINE SPECIAL
Here's how to make a cake that's
sure to rise and shine even if the
-sun doesn't: Measure '/ cup
shortening into bowl. Sift together
2% cups sifted SUNNYFIELD
CAKE FLOUR
*'. ll from the A&P, 2
tsps. baking pow-
Sder, 1 tsp. salt and
11 cups sugar.
Add to shortening.
Add o cup orange
juice and 1/4 cup water. Blend;

beat 1 minute (count at least 150
strokes per minute.) Add 2 un-
beaten eggs and grated rind of 1
orange. Beat 2 minutes. Bake in
greased and floured 9x5x3-inch
loaf pan in moderate oven, 350F.,
about 55 minutes.

SPRING SPARKLE
To put lots of sparkle in your
meals, serve lots of SPARKLE,
PUDDINGS from the A&P.o
Thrifty to buy and marvelous to
eat; they're easy to fix, too. Just
follow package directions. And for
extra sparkle, add 2 tbsps. of
finely-chopped peanut brittle to
each serving.

GRADE AID
Make the grade as a smart shop-
,per by always choosing the grade
of canned goods that's best for
your purpose! It's easy to do.when
you buy A&P's own brands-A&P,
SULTANA and. IONA-because
the grade of most products in
these famous lines is described on
the label. A&P BRAND is Grade
A; SULTANA, Grade B; and
IONA, Grade C. Since the nutri-
tive value of all 3 is the same, you
can save safely by using Grade C
in dishes like stews, pies and
sauces, which don't require foods
of uniform size or delicate flavor
(factors determining the grade).

HONOR ROLL
One sweet treat that always takes
top honors at my house is A&P's
JANE PARKER JELLY ROLL.
Bet it will go over big with
your family, too, when they taste-
this delicate, oven- -A,,-,\ ||I, r, ,
fresh sponge-cake i"
roll with its lus- -
cious jelly filling..
Serve one soon '
and see! You'll -
find the price surprisi'ly :-.odest.

Friends





Are





Appreciated


In my current' campaign for the office of State Attorney, 14th Ju-
dicial District, it has.been deeply gratifying to receive the many words
of encouragement offered by friends.

The following excerpts from an editorial in The Apalachicola Times deserve
my publicly-expressed gratitude:

In Behalf of a Capable and Deserving Young Candidate,
Our Own Mercer P. Spear


The weekly press must cut the
cloth with keen precision and bend
every effort to meet the increasing
demands of public, political and
community affairs. But here We di-
gress from the tumultuous grind of
local and national politics and other
matters of increasing scope., and
add our endorsement and, a word-of
encouragement to a most worthy
young man, a cand-idate for State'
Attorney in an adjoining circuit.
This young World War II veteran
and promising young attorney, Mer-
cer P. Spear, has the attributes of


character, the academics, training
and qualifications that would do
honor and credit to the office which
he seeks. And while ourm citizens
here in Franklin county do not
have the privil-e.ge of voting for our
deserving young liorni'er citizen, his
leccion: wcald be a isuried it' our
home folks, had the privilege of ,
voting in this race. This young can-
didate has the background of sub-
stantial and laudalfle Iladership,
and The Apalachicola Times most
earnestly comlmends him zo the
voters of his circuit, and trusi that
he may be successful in his race.
