I 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 9, 1948 NUMBER 28 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. Kennedy Heads VFW Post For Ensuing Year ' At a special meeting of Howard C.

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.'' Visitor From Mobile Miss Louise Garrison of Mobile.

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.

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.

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. --Tylertown (-Ii :- ) Times.

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.

F 4 0 :4 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!

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.
