Bark Destroys St. Joe Salt Works Old Paper Gives Up Story Relating To Ancient City of St. Joseph By EILEEN COOPER Through the courtesy of S. L. Barke, a vivid glimhnpse into the St. Joe of the 1800's was discovered in a "Harper's Weekly" dated Novem- ber 15, 1862, and recently acquired 'by Mr. Barke. - To residents of this city, the fol- lowing account of the destruction of a salt manufactory at St. Joseph, which was contained in a letter from an officer who actively par- ticiated in this, historic event, will be of great interest: U.

We sent a flag of truce an(; politely informed them that they must stop or we would destroy them. They paid no attention to u-s. but continued their fires day and night. We got underway at daylight. sailed up the bay with a fair wind and came to anchor about a quarter mile from the works.

The youth apparently lost his bal- ance on the sloping sand of the canal and got into deep water. He called for held and the Marshall boy, endeavoring, to pull him to shallow water with a stick, was al- most pulled into the deep water himself. The Marshall boy went for help, but too late, for the body of Sam was pulled from the water, floating face downwiwlrd, by fishermen near the canal bridge. Artificial respira- tion was administered. but to nu avail, and the boy was pronounced dead shortly afterward by a local physician. Examination of the boy's lungs revealed very little. water, giving rise to the supposition that his heart gave out on him from fright. . In addition -to his parents, the youth is survived 'by one sister, Ruth Alice Jones. and four brothers, Troy L., James H.. William E. and Fred' L. Jones, all of Port St. Joe. Funeral services were held Sun- d.ay at the Assembly of God Church with 'burial in the Havana cemetery.

Cross Section Poll May Show How City Votes Opinions Secured From 169 Voters By Editor-On Outcome of s Tuesday Primary Four years ago the editor 6"0The Star sent out 1000; "stra vote" bA- lots to all part of Gulf county and the returns from .that poll showed an accuracy of 96% correct after the election. It took a great deal of time to ta~bula.te the 'ballots as they, came in, so this year, having no help 'in the office, we, weie forced to il0orego the mail ballot, 'but we did, duri-ng the past three weeks, manage to get opinions from 169 voters,-taken at random as we met them on the street or in The. Star office. Not all were questioned as to whom would be the winners in all races; perhaps they gave their opinion on but a half dozen offices (and a lot of them did.'nt know they were, be- ing the subject of a poll). However, we believe their opinions, taken as a whole, should ,give us a fairly ac- curate picture as to how the Port St. Joe pre cinct will go. Taibulatio'ns show candidates will run as follows (maybe) in the or- der set forth: Governor-Warren. English, Mc- Carty and Shand.s for third place. State Treasurer-Larson.

I. . Our Country Right or Wrong PROSPECTS FOR UMT ARE DIM Several hundred young people in Port St. Joe, like millions all over the nation are prob- ably wondering just what influence the pend- ing preparedness program will have on their personal destinies, just as a flock of candidates in this neck of the woods are wondering just what their destiny will be after next Tuesday. An exact answer .to the young peoples' ques- tion now is impossible, just as an answer to who is going to be elected is impossible until the votes are counted, but the trend of congres- sional thinking seems to be becoming clearer. We don't claim to be clairvoyant, but we can sum up what we think'is likely to happen, al- though we -wouldn't bet a dime on it: The prospects for universal military training now are exceedingly dim. The idea of it goes against the grain of national sentiment (the editor of The Star has always favored it) and, from a purely political point of 'view, it is con- sidered too hot to handle in an election year. I On the other hand, a limited draft has a bet- ter than even chance of getting by congress. The armed forces have made a good case of their need for manpower, and congress seems *to be reluctantly coming to the conclusion that at least a temporary return to selective service is unavoidable. If the draft law is passed it probably will call for two years of service for those chosen, and will likely demand the registration of all men. from 18 through 30. But we understand that only those in the 19-25 age group will be called to the colors at this time, and a great many of Cross-Section Poll Star Want (Continued from page 1) Lee.

And physical qualifications will be substantially higher than they were in wartime when, as. the saying went, anyone who could chew mush, see light- ning and hear thunder was considered grist for the military mill. \At the beginning, therefore, the probability is that the draft will affect a relatively small number of people, and place only a minor drain on the manpower resources of the country. It is possible that it will stimulate enlistments to the point where an even lesser number of men will have to be taken than is now anticipated, for a large number who know they are fully qualified will say, "What the heck, I know P'm going in anyway, so I'll avoid being drafted." From the long-term view, on the other hand, the situation is not bright. It is unquestionably true that if the international situation con- tinues to worsen,. the military forces will ask for more and more personnel-and congress will reluctantly go along with them. By the same token, an improvement in the 'U. S.-Rus- sian relations might lead to an early ending of peacetime selective service, and that is a hope, \we find, which is almost universally held. WE SHOULD DOOD IT Some time back we editorialized that it looked like we'd have to vote Republican, but we didn't get around to changing our regis- tration-and now it's too late. \Ve have reached the conclusion that the rift in the Democratic party will be patched up before voting time, but even if it is, we can't bring ourselves to support Truman in the event he is nominated. Under the present sys- tem in Florida any vote other than a Demo- cratic one is a vote wasted-it don't count. So we will doubtless be delinquent m our duty and pass up the list of delegates on the- ballot, come election day. Businesses seldom expand by magic. They usually grow because somebody with brains is working and advertising. T14E STA R, PORT ST.

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 candidate 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 our citizens her6 in Franklin county do not have the privilege of voting for our deserving young former citizen, his election would be assured if our home folk. had the privilege of voting in this race. This young 'n- didate has the background of sub- stantial and laudable leadership. and The Apalachicola Times most earnestly commends him -o the voters of his circuit, and truse thai he may be successful in his race. * F RCE-&v PsA 1-4th judicial ~ICirwit AOOITALAVRAN I Ir rlB-B~p~bF~L~IP~~sze~B~~P~~abP I~a~~sQI99 _.__ Attorney General of FLORIDA PAID POLITICAL ADVERTISING I VOTE FOR really start out on a large program of this work-it would certainly mean much to our county.

As a young man who is eternally grateful to those who have contributed their full measure to the growth and development of our state, I consider it my duty to work for their security and comfort. SReforestation, fire control and experimental research must be continued and enlarged as an investment in an, ever-growing wood products industry' which will rnme n greater prosperity to the entire state. As one of them, I can better understand and help solve the problems which affect veterans. The veteran de- serves an even break. I assure the veterans of Florida that they will receive my fullest co-operation in solving the problems with which they are confronted. We can and we must, stamp out sources of infection and eliminate communicable diseases to the extent pos- sible with present medical knowledge. 'We must fur- ther co-ordinate and expand the activities of the state Sin the field of public health. Taxes and governmental service cannot be isolated from B each other. If government is to serve the needs of the people, revenue must be provided. As a business man in government, I intend to give the people of Florida maxi- 'T _AX A T ION_ mum service for their tax dollars'. However, I have and will continue to oppose a general sales tax. Salt water fishing, as old as the state of Florida, de- serves the protection of a fair and non-political program of conservation which will assure those who have their LM I [ a porwealth invested a continuing source of livelihood. Such a program would require research and experiment. It's YOUR Ballot ... Elect Dan McCarty Governor 'Paid Politiral Advertising Haircut and Shave Problem Was New One to This Barber RACINE, WIS.
