Dan Brotks Tears Hair
As Washer Prices Drop

Dan Brooks. that afl'ble dis-
pens'er of sporting goods and Ben-
dix washing machines (at a price,
o' course) frantically called up the
editor Tuesday" afternoon and de-
'manded a page ad in which to tell
the. people that the ground ,had been
cut 'from under him in regard to.
the prices on his washers.
We sadly informed him that we
were sorry, but that there wasn't
:an inch of advertising space avail-
able, that the politicians had. been
taking it. in great gobs.
Damning all politicians, Dan asked
if we. couldn't do something, and so
w.e told him we would place his piti-
ful tale on page one for everybody
to read.
Seems the company has ordered
a price slash of $50 on all models,
and Dan has a flock of 'em on hand.
The Bendix DeLuxe-, he says, now
sells for $219.50, and, the 'Bendix
Standard has been cut to $199.50.
"It's gonna .bankrupt me," wailed
Dan, "but what can I do?''

Saints Slaughter

Panama In Second

Game of Season

Take Long End of 42-4 Score; Also
Take League Opener Here
Sunday 5 To 2

The St. Joe Saints got off to a
good start in the '48 season of the
Culf Coast League by defeating the
Panama City Spartans here. 5-2 Sun-
day in the opener and repeating in
the return game Wednesday at Pan-
ama City with a 42-4 score.
We can't devote much space to
the games, but in Sunday's tilt
Coach Marion Craig was outstandu-
ing, not only at bat, but in the field.
Frank Hannon made. a spectacular
running catch in deep right center,
and Bucky Walters came through
with a nice binigle that drove in
three runs. Terry Hinote pitched a
nice game up into the seventh inn-
ing, allowing :but two hits, when'he
was relieved by Davidson.
We didn't see Wednesday's game,
but Rich Porter informs us that it
was really pitiful, and the 42 to 4
score seems to bear him out. Five
home runs were chalked up, two
for Bert Cox, and one each 'for Ben-
nie Burke, Leonard Belin and Bucky
Walters. Fish Herring was credited
with four doubles, any one of which
would have 'been a homer in the St.
Joe park, said Porter. Murray
Lloyd started on the mound for the
Saints and went five innings before
being relieved by Davidson.
The Saints go to We'wahitchka
. Sumlday to nieet the 'Gators, with
the return game scheduled here for
next Wednesday. The 'Gators tookl
their opening game Sunday from
Tyndall. and we understand the Air
Force evened the score Wednesday.

I is the only American-built motor car you

This new development brings you sensa-

streamlined beauty that would otherwise
be impractical.
This new kind of motor car is only five feet
from ground to top, yet by stepping down,
you get more head room and roomier seats
than in any other mass-produced car built
today-and there's good road clearance, too!
Because you step down, Hudson's new, all

encircles you, even outside the rear wheels,
with a rugged, box-steel foundation frame
- and this brings you a new measure of
added safety.
You ride within this frame-cradled between
axles-not on top of a frame as in the past.
Hudson's new, lower center of gravity and
rugged basic structure give this car delight-

going, especially on curves, that is so safe,
so serene, so smooth, it is unlike anything

Here Friday

Blasts 'Closed Shop' and Condemns
Capitol Building Program As
Promotion Scheme

Coming into Port St. Joe unher-
alded and close on the heels of Dan
McCarty, who spoke here earlier in
the' day. Tatn Watson, campaigning
for governor, last Friday blasted
thi. present law depriving persons
of real property under its "delin-
quent tax" provision, stating that
the system is contrary to funda-
mental lalw., which guarantees that
property shall not be subjected to
confiscation "without due process
of law." Stating that the present
liwi is conliscatory, he said that if
elected governor he w-ill seek cor-
rection of the statute so that the
people may ;be secure in their pos-,
sciiions.
Calling the "closed shop" un-
Am'neelcan, Watson said if elected
governor lie will seek to 'break comn-
munistic 'control over labor, thru
the medium of legislation giving
ept:l.'.yers the right to hire em-
polyees without didt-ition front la-
hboa leaders, and giving union men
the right to work without serving
labor bosses.
Watson sa.id he opifosed the Tai-
l'Ihassee $100,000,000 "Capitol Cen-
e""' building program after he ibe-
came convinced it was "a big real
estate promotion scheme.-:' He
,hIt'rgid that the program was set
up by the governor without legisla-
tive authority, and that the $6,000,-
000 already sunkl in the project
could have been used for the Uni-
versity of Florida, Florida State
University, the state tuberculosis
hospital and the. hospital for the
insane.
Declari'rg that the' South is a
"perpetual sufferer at the, hands of
the federal government" and that
"our individual freedom :s in jeop-
ardy." he said that "the South must
assert its aith in Jerlie.rsonian prin-
ciples of democracy, or finm some
othe"- political faith under which to
live."

Our Country --._ Right or Wrong

TWO LITTLE MEN LOSE THE PEACE
W\e won the war in Euroipe. We won the
war in Asia. But in two years, under the guid-
ance of e larry Truman, another totalitarian
power as ruthless, oppressive and cruel, and
more dangerous because of its fifth columns in-
ever country, has won without war as much
territory as ilitler won. Harry Truman is a
man of goed will, but he is a little man, far too
little to be president of the United States in a
time of world crisis such as we have today.
The same may be said of the prime minister
of Great Britain.
In the darkness fast descending upon the
world again, we need a strong man as presi-
dlent. We may or may not need universal mili-
tary training, but far more important than this
is a strong reserve plus a reasonable army and
a super air force with plenty of atomic bombs
and the guts to use them.
As Britain was for many decades almost
without an army, but could always mobilize
liehind her powerful navy, we must largely
mobilize behind a powerful air force. The idea
that we should use atomic bombs only as a
last resort in war is silly. We will start no war.
lbut when it does start by the attack of anotne.
power, the time to strike is immediately.
, We should be ready to strike with atomic
Iom'bs at every vital enemy spot, with the
most powerful air force in the world ready to
-take off, at a moment's notice. This beliyach-
ing about universal military training is talk-
ing about the last war. The next war will r)e
speed with air power and bombls followed by
Imen.
It is a long time until November, and con-
ceivably, but not probably, things may change,
1iut at present, in private conversations, north-
ern as well as southern Democrats, in a posi-
tion to know, say President Truman's chance
of re-election is hopeless. Even labor leaders,
foreseeing defeat, are urging some other can-
,didate. It will hardly grow to the point that
T'ruman will withdraw, the ionly reasonable
prospect of preventing his nomination.
The only reasonable prospect is a Republi-
can president, but there is a chance, however

THE STAR, PORT S:TJO6itGUiF COUNTY, FijORIDAh F.kI

slim. that the election might be so close that
the southern electoral votes withheld from
Truman would hold the balance of power, and
this is worth trying.
H1-enry Wallace, as well as Claude Pepper,
have turned to the Red ideology, but Truman
is just plain incompetent. People ought not be
fooled with the list of uninstructed delegates
pretending to be against Truman. They are
against Truman. but they are for PIepper and
W\allace. The only safe candidates are those
running under the name of G(overnor \right.
Caldiell is a 1'epper man, whatever he ma.-
say to the contrary, and his ticket was hand-
picked by Pepper.-Jacksonville Chronicle.

MacARTHUR FOR PRESIDENT?
Tuesday morning papers headlined the fact
thBit General Douglas MacArthur would run
for the presidency "if 'called by the American
people." If "Dugout-Doug" waits until ex,-
G.L.'s. sailors, marines and coast guardsmen
call him, lie will never come home, muli less
run for the presidency 1 .
/ -Kiglugman (Kan.) uJornal..
It is reported that the \White lo Iuse is not
"at all pleased" at Gen. MacArtuhr's announce-
ment that he is willing to accept the nomiina-
tion for president. \Vell. Truman is com-
rander-in-chief, a.nd if he thinks it. would bol-
ster his waning popularity to fire Mac.\rtlur,
he just ought to try it.
-Fort Payne (Ala.) Times.
..; will be surprising if the passage of time
doesn't convince General MacArthur that he
would have done well to follow the precedent
set by General Eisenhower in resisting tlhe
temptation to seek the presidency of the U. S.
-Detroit Lakes (Minn.) Ifecord.
This is the only nation the people still gov-
ern. If they want MacArthur they can have
him,. If they want a proved American they
w\\ill want him or someone like him, regardless
of little groups of misdirected loyalty, divided
interests and diluted patiotisim. We do not
claim that MacArthur is the only one .lie i.-
simply the one whose onttlral abilities hnve
imprers-sed the whole world by their fruits.
and whose foresighted statesmanship has not
parallel in the world of today. That's M.acCAr.
thur. Be-side him the Churclhills, Miolotovs and
Stalins are piginies.
-Ronceverte (\\. Va.) News.
i(xven a popular and friendly )man like (Gen-
eral Dwight EI isenhow er would be at a disad-
vantage in some respects because of his mili-
tary career, and General Ike -has condemned
military men who seek public office on the
basis of military achievement rather than ;vil-
ian qualifications. MacArthur hlas been a great
military leader. lie has been decorated with
every award for bravery that the I nil d Statb
can bestow. The country owes him n.' r-l"t of
gratitude it will never be alle to repay. lland-
ing him the presidency, howevercr, would be an
injustice to the general and to tlus country.

In the spring a housewife's fancy rightly turns to thoughts
of cleaning. But she still can't neglect thoughts of food for
her brood. Below-some of mine:

LIGHTNING LUNCH
When hungry small fry come tear-
ing into the house just as you're in
the midst of tearing it apart,
split, toast, and butter as many
MARVEL SANDWICH ROLLS
as they can eat
1X\\Illf///// (at least 2 apiece
NN 1| if they're as fond
Y/.. of A&P's delicious,
oven-fresh rolls
as my youngsters
are!) spread
with peanut butter, jelly or cheese
. and sound roll call! P. S.
Here's another hunch for lunch:
MARVEL SANDWICH ROLLS
with chopped round steak. They
make a hamburger heaven!
SPEEDY SUPPER
Do you have to hustle to rustle up
supper on cleaning day? Serve
A&P'S ANN PAGE PREPARED
SPAGHETTI in its own tasty to-
mato and cheese sauce. Or combine
a can of it with a cup of sliced
oniions sautied in fat; pile into
lengthwise halves of green peppers
(boiled 5 mins. in salted water);
place in shallow baking dish with a
little water, and bake in moderate
oven, 375'F., 25 mins. Serves 4.
*

LINOLEUM LOW-DOWN
If "water, water everywhere" is
your spring-cleaning slogan, re-
member: Linoleum, like small boys,
-doesn't take kindly to too much
water. Wash it with as little as
possible, working on a small area
at a time. When dry, apply
BRIGHT SAIL LIQUID WAX,
which requires no rubbing or
polishing. You'll take a shine to it
and to all A&P's BRIGHT SAIL
cleaning aids!
FISH FLASH
For an extra-easy dish, choose
fillets of fish! And for an extra-
flavorful fillet, fill it! Like this:
Wipe 1 Ilb. of fillets with damp
cloth. Melt 1 tbsp. shortening. Add
1 onion (diced),
:/ green pepper '" i'l,'
(diced), and saut4
5 mins. Add 1 tsp. ,...- ,
Worcestershire
sauce and a 27-
oz. can of tangy
A&P SAUERKRAUT. Spread on
fillets; roll like jelly roll and fasten
with toothpicks. Put remaining
filling in greased casserole with
fillets on top and bake in hot oven,
* 400 F., 25 minutes. Serves 4.

What the next four years
hold in store for our state, our
nation and the world at large, no
one knows. But, whatever comes
...Florida must be prepared!
The times call for an
experienced man ... a man with
a successful record of public
service...a man who can, and will,
chart a sound and constructive
course for our state government
...a man who is equipped with
the ability and with actual
experience in state government
... a man who won't have to
flounder and grope his way
around, trying to learn the job
of Governor... a man who can
take over the job of Chief
Executive of our state without
any loss of valuable time. Above
all...Florida needs a man whose
record clearly proves him to be
o performer -- not a promise!
Colin English is the man
Florida needs for the good
and best interests of all Florida.
Remember, Colin English has
served for the past eleven years
as a member of the Governor's
Cabinet the executive
committee-and other important
state boards and commissions,
during the administrations of
three governors.
Remember, in these
important times, political
promises are no better than the
candidate who makes them...no
better than the ability and public
,record of the maker to keep them.
Colin English has done great
things for Florida...as Governor,
he will do greater things
for ALL Florida! You can judge
men only by what they have
done and accomplished...and, the
soundness of their program for
the good of all the people. Read
the 33-Point, program of Colin
English for a greater Florida ...

WARREN

ALL-FLORIDA'S CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR

Warren remembers Pine Tree Prosperity in Florida when the saw
mills, the lumber camps, the turpentine stills all had big payrolls
and all contributed to the prosperity of the people of the State. Fuller
Warren wants to return the State to Pine Tree Prosperity through a
practical program of reforestation.

Here's what Warren advocates-
"Reforestation by the extension
of fire protection to all forest
areas not now covered; by vig-
orous enforcement of laws

fWinWitTh

against woods-burning; by ex-
tension and encouragement of
tree planting; and- by all' other
practicable means that will re-
plenish Florida's forests."
Let's get back to Pine Tree Pros-
perity with Warren!

done.

business experience knows that
it can't be done.
