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 I ANOTHER SHOT AT IT VOLUME XI PORT ST. JOE, FLORIDA, FRIDAY, APRIL 16, 1948 NUMBER 29 Curtain Raises Sunday. On Gulf League Season Record Crowd Expected At Local Park When Saipts Tangle With Panama City. In Opener A record crowd is expected at the local ball park Sunday afternoon -when the St. Joe Saints meet the Panama City Spartans in the open- ing game of the Gulf Coast League.'s ,194s season. Other gaines scheduled for Sun- :day are Blountstown at Apalachi- cola, ant: 'Tyndall at Wewahitchk'a. Due to the fact that Marianna last week withdrew from the league, leaving but seven teams, one team will-be forced to. remain idle one week in each round', the DeFuniak Springs team being the one not playing on the opening day. Wednesday afte-rnoon the Saints will journey to Panama City, We- wahitchka will play at Tyndall and Apalachicola will trek to Blounts- to.wn. The Saints hAve dropped two pre- season games, one to Tyndall on Wednesday of last week, 6-4, and another played. here Sunday with Apalachicola which resulted in the Oystermen taking the long end of a 5-3 score. A return game with Tyndall, scheduled to be played here Wednesday was rained out. ICC Sends FEC-ACL Order To U. S. Court The battle between the duPont intere-sts and the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad for control of the Florida East Coast Railway is back in the U. S'. district court at Jack- sonville. The interstate commerce com- mission announced in Washingto'n that it has certited 'to -the clerls of the court an official copy of the transcript and. its order or March 26, including a copy of the. reor- ganization of the FEC. The ICC on March 26 affirmed a , 1947 order for merger of the FMC with the ACL. In a 6 to 5 decision it refused to set aside its findings of April 8, 1947, that.a reorganiza- tion for FEC could best be carried out by consolidating it with ACL. Under usual court procedure, Judge Louie W. Strum will set a date on which FEC creditors; can 'file any objections they may have to the ICC reorganization plan. Court Upholds Closed ,Fishing Season Order ida counties, including Gulf county, was upheld by the state supreme court Monday in a test case brought by Henry S.

T. iMcGowin of Panama City and G. UI. Parker of Blountstown, developers of Mexico Beach on the Gull west of this city, announce that they have closed a contract with the Coggins & D-.ernmend En- gineering Company to start paving of streets within the week, and that Floyd Lister of Wewahitchka has begun the erection of a num- ber of houses. The developers claim to have a thousand lots, all in a restricted tour-mile stretch along the Gulf, which when built upon will be quite a suburb of Port St. Joe, giving the merchants of this city an equal, if not a superior advantage over Pan- ama City merchants, as this de- velopment is within 10 miles of Port St. Joe. Plats have just been filed wherein no licenses will 'be. granted for the sale of alcoholic liquors anywhere along the entire four miles of this development, which will protect property owners from having their locations cheapened by the estalb- Frary, J.

In Russia the civilian population is com- pletely dominated by the armed forces. That cannot be said for the United States. However, for several days this week de- tatchments of soldiers from Tyndall Field, in quest of an escaped prisoner who was thought to be in this vicinity, acted as though they were some of Joe Stalin's strong-arm men and in one instance used the butt end of a rifle on one of 'our local doctors.

'FRIDAY, APRIL 16, 1948 R A A 6 Theme Is Constant In Governor Race Veterans' Affairs, Roads, Schools, Citrus, Cited By Most Candi- dates In Platforms There are a few variations to the familiar campaign promises of can- didates for governor of Florida, but lor the most part they continue to talk about their plans for roadibuili- ing, veterans' affairs, care' of the in- digent, water control, citrus, eGfuca- lion and, conservation. Dan McCarty says in a public statement that "there have been so- lutions suggested for state citrus problems that could wreck all the progress of the past twenty years." He did not elaborate. Tom r Watson suggests abolish- ment of the citrus commission in favor of one-man co.itrol of the in- dustry; Colin English has endorsed a mioveme.nL-for a co-operatve or- ganization to work out an industry- wide marketing system, and Fuller Warren says that the only way to. get away from the shipment of green :fruit, which is giving the cit- rus industry a black eye, is to use. "the taste test." Basil Pollitt issued a statement in support of a $500 tax exemption for all wari veterans and $500 addi- tional for disabled former service men instead of a state, veterans' bo- nus. He said "Florida could ill af- -iord such a tremendous outlay at present" as would Ibe required to pla'y a veterans' bonus. Fuller Warren has called present institutions for care of the. mentally ill and the indigent tubercular per- sons "appallingly inadequate." Colin English is uimging voters to elect men well-equipped to conduct the government for the next four years.. "Our government is no bet- ter than the men we put in office nor than the average citizen wants it to be." he. said. LEGION AUXILIARY HEAD WILL SPEAK AT DEPARTMENT MEET Mrs. Lee W.

Our Country Right or Wrong SHEEP AND GOATS Governor Caldwell, who usually doesn't stoop to such methods, gave out with a mas.- terpiece of double talk when he announced that he would run as an anti-Truman, anti- bolt candidate for delegate to the Democratic national convention. He can't be both and get anywhere. Being against Truman and doing nothing about it except to cast his vote for somebody else in the convention simply means that the president will be nominated, civil rights program and all, and the South will have no choice except to vote for him or take the equally repugnant course of voting Republican. Other Dixie governors, from whom Caldwell has been at pains to disassociate himself, offer a far more agreeable alternative. They advo- cate the naming of electors from the southern states who will not vote for Trman if he is nominated and runs on the civil rights pro- posals which have angered the South. The vir- tue of this is that it will give voters a chance to continue their cherished habit of voting tice Democratic ticket without lending their sup- port to something they are violently against. Undeniably that is a form of bolt, and Gov- ernor Caldwell declares himself opposed to it.' Evidently believing that Truman will be nomi- nated anyway, he holds that the practical ef- fect will be nil and that an uproar of dishar- mony will result. Ye-t he says he is opposed to Truman and the offensive political expedients to which the president has resorted in an effort to head off votes for Henry Wallace. The gov- ernor's plan is to reason with the convention in the hope that Truman can be persuaded to eat his words or that the delegates can be in- duced to select a new standard bearer not ob- jectionable to the South. Desirable as that would be, it is a futile en- deavor. Mr. Truman has made clear that he is not going to back up, and it goes almost witll- out saying that he will be nominated. What, Shark Grid Team Is Rounding Into Shape By BILL TRAWEEK Twenty-five candidates for the St. Joe Shank eleven have been practicing daily since the close of basketball season and' the team is rounding into shape. Blocking and tackling fundamentals have Deen stress-.d and some progress has been made in developing replace- ments for the eight positions left vacant by graduation. Byron Bland, Frank Pierce, Bill Vittum, Charles Whitehead, Luther Parrott, Charles Wilson, Tank Mc- Farland and Benny Corbin are new- comers to the squad, showing prom- ise. Bland, a small but talented lad, is expected to take over the "T'" quarterback slot and its multiple responsibilities.

He can join in the outcries against the Truman civil rights program, bu; in the end he will have to report back that we are stuck with Truman and all he stands for. There are widespread signs that southern Sl)emocrats, Florida by all means included, do not want any part of that and won't under any circumstances take it. At the least they will stay away from the polls, and many of them will carry their protest to the length of casting a spite vote for 'the Republican presidential nominee. Already alarmed by this sentiment, the Lee county Democratic committee is tak- ing steps to head it off. Finding that many are registering as Republicans in order to vent their disgust with Truman, Democrats are be- ;ing urged to remain in their own party, tne committee piuting out that the primary ballot vill offer an opportunity for an expression on the issue. This will be provided in the election of presi- dential electors and delegates to the Demo- cratic national convention. Governor Caldwell will be among the candidates, and a slate rep- resenting his viewpoint no doubt will be or- ganized alnd advertised to the voters. Also there will be a Senator Pepper slate which will differ from Caldwell's anti-Truman stand but will agree with him in opposing a bolt. Then there will be, clearly marked on the ballot, a slate of southern Democrats running in the name of one of the Dixie governors who have been prominent in the leadership against T1ie civil rights proposals. From this list the rank and file of the party cln select the kind of representation they want in the national convention and electoral col- lege. Making the decision will be a bit compli- cated, but the ballot this year will be of some assistance, and the newspapers, we dare say, in due course will help out in separating the various brandsof sheep from the goats. In any case the matter will be put into the hands of Democrats to decide what course they want their party to take.-Fort Myers News-Press. Looks like the poor pedestrian will never get a break.

He said the changes Grampa did (and the editor has had would mean "more city and less otherwise apparently sane people federal control." right here in Port St. Joe tell him ol' various "positive" cures for this and that). Some of these beliefs be- come so widespread that the medi- cal profession takes a look, spends time and money to investigate the ideas to find if there is any basis for such belief. That is the case for "bee stings will help to make arthritis less painful." Most of us just said: "Phooe.y. It's probably because you get such a fit over the bee stings you forget the other pains." But the physicians of the country took the matter more. seriously. The re- sult is that no medical authority will recommend the bee sting treat- ment. At this time the results of the studies do not furnish proof of the value to warrant much more than our own comment: "Phooey." In Europe, places have existed for years where rheumatic patient, go to take the'bee-sting cure. InI America we're not so fancy, but a lot of beeskee'pers did dispense the treatment, all on their own, and because the bee-keepers' did not have arthritis or rheumatism. pa- tients were willing to accept the discomfort entailed. Too, there has been developed a method for bhar- vestinig the bee vesom, so that you can get the same effect and not have to watch the bhe.e stinging you. If.you insist on trying this bee- sting business you can do so. Your own doctor can give you the dose, but he won't assure you that it will do more than give you something else to think about.

The nearby Portuguese colony of Macao, a gam- bling center, is starting the gradual elimination of its gambling houses and plans to stamp out the "indus- try" entirely by 1949, Jose Calvet, the Portuguese consul, announced. "Three gambling houses will be closed immediately," he said. "Nine will remain."
