Local Attorney Claims Never Gets Name In Star Mickey Stone has been picking on us in public for several months r.mw. averring that be never sees his. name in The Star. Says he sees the names of his friends all the time'-lbut never his. It's a funny thing about these lawyers, they don't advertise be- cause they ass e.rt it's "unethical," but they are always eneavoring to have. their names mentioned as "news items." We should ] claim it is unethical to mention the names of lawyers in The Star. However, we won't be so cruel, and to stop the sarcastic remarks of Mr. Stone we print his name for all to sa'e: SILAS 'Mickey' STONE Ulililllllllll llllllllllflllllllil IIllllilIIIIIIllllll 1iilllllI: Mrs. Annie Odom Dies At Home Saturday Morning Mrs,.

Man Drowns As Car Goes Through Open Draw Span, Companion, Who Escaped, Said Car Had Poor Brakes and Was Do- ing 50 Miles Per Hour Charles Albert Paul, 26, of Ken- ney's Mill. was drowned Saturlay morning as the car he was driving plunged through the open draw- bridge at White City into the intra- coastal canal. His companion, An- drew Gray, escaped with minor bruises and shock. According to Patrolman Olin'Da- vis, who investigated the accident, Gray told him that they saw the bridge was open but that they were traveling between 50 and' 60 miles an hour and were unable to stop due to the fact that the brakes on the car were in poor repair. 'Both men, good swimmers, matt aged to escape from the car which was submerged in 18 feet olf water, and while Gray managed to swim to a piling where he clung until rescued, "Paul swam a few strokes and then went under. His body was recovered with gi'appling hooks about an hour later 'by Frank Har- per and James Seatey who live near the bridge. An examination of the drowned man showed a severe bruise on the forehead, apparently received as the, car plunged down- ward, which may have accounted for his being unable to swim to the canal bank. Paul, an enmploye of the t.' Joe Lumber & Tix'poi' ;O,'p;.ny,. was on his way to the home of his,'ar- ents, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Paul, in 'Wew'ahitchlka at the time of the a'- cident. In addition t'o.his parents he' is survived by his wife, Naomi, and two small daughters. Louise and Mary.

Open 'Garbage Cans Menace To Health "K'ee'p your garbage cans tightly covered if you want to help control flies and rats." This appeal is made to housewives and' eating establish- mients in Port St. Joe by Dr. Wil- son T. 'Sowder, state health officer. Flies and rats cannot live with- out food and moisture, and unpro- tected gar-bge. is one of 'their best means of livelihood, he declared'. Open garbage draws flies which may carry typhoid, and rats. from which typhus fever infected flea- find their w'ay to human bodies. Stray dogs are also drawn to open garbage. cans. Cover your garbage, burn or oury it, and be sure your garbage is in a watertight container, placed on a wooden platform or on bricks. Local health authorities are do- ing everything possible in this gar- bage disposal campaign. "-d ask the co-operation of everyone in Port St. Joe to assist in eliminating this evil.

Of these, 13,475 are in the production . end of the business; 400 are refin- ers; 650 are engaged in transporta- tion of oil products, and 20,000 deal with marketing and distribution. In addition, there are nearly 250,000 service stations, as well as thou- sands of other retail outlets for oil products. JK s Lack of Oxygen Lack of oxygen, or asphyxia, kills some 50,000 persons annually in the United States. Of these, 30,000 are newborn babies. The rest, children and adults, succumb to choking, submersions, gases, electric shock, diseases and accidents that cut off the oxygen fanning the spark of life. FROM FIREMAN TO SUPREME COURT Orphaned early in his childhood, VN7. May Walker, deprived' of the assistance and advice of a father, worked as a gum-dipper, slab-toter, plow hand, truck driver and fire- man. H,.re in the sloughs, ham- ' mooks, fields, highways, and towns o.f Florida he encountered all of the hardships and, obstacles that con-' fronted a youth of his age. It was here he rece-ived his first inspira- tion of thought and sentiment-it was here he knelt before nature's rugged majesty and, received the royal stroke, of a noble manhood that inspired him to study law by night. It was here he acquired the strength of mind and character thai enabled him to pass the bar exami- nation with one of the highest grades of his class. , Here in the midst of Florida he became a successful lawyer and won the. confidence of his, people who twice elected him. County Judge. The people of his district then twice elected him Circuit Judge, at which post he has served with distinction for eight years. His varied, experience in lif.. has given him a vast knowledge of the laws of nature, which has enabled him to temper justice with mercy wherever extenuating circumstances would, justify. An unsurpassed sense of justice has enabled him to settle with fairness the (lieftrence- of his fellowmen who came berfor- him. This has made him an out- standing jurist of this State and all that know him now recommend him to all the people of Florida. When Judge W. May Walker is elected SupremeCourt Judge of Florida the people by their vote will have chosen one more member for our. court of last resort who under- stands the hardships anid trials of all the, people; a Judge who can: synmathize with the Mothers., Fa-! thers, Sons and Daughters of Flor-[ ida. A vote for May Walker in our' opinion 'will be a vote to establish and: perpetuate justice In our Court of Final Jurisdiction. (An editorial from. the Wakulla County News, April 30th, 1948.)

Our Country Right or Wrong NO TRESPASSING The editor of The Star, who for the past couple of years has been rather closely c/pn- fined to the vicinity of Port St. Joe due to the fact that he had a car that couldn't be trusted to make a trip over 50 miles without falling apart, now that he has a new car has been ranging rather widely on Sundays to look over the country, note new developments, and get some fresh air. One thing in particular has come to our at- tention. We have noted that 'many properties having small lakes or being traversed by streams, where we were wont to drive in to wet our hook upon occasion, have been posted with "No trespassing" signs telling would-be fishermen and hunters what the law will do to them if they trespass. Reason for this, we find, is not that owners of the land want to keep the nimrods and the Izaak Waltons off their property, but because careless hunters and fishermen in the past, have caused fires that .have razed stands of timber and destroyed pasture lands, We can't blame the owners in wanting to protect their property, but it sure makes it tough on the fishermen and the hunters, but then, too, we must consider that it's a great deal tougher on the people whose property is ravaged by fire.

While farmers of the county applied fertilizer to all other crops, they never deemed it neces- sary to help the grass along, too. The grass was there, it grew as best it could, and the cows got as much feed as they could in graz- ing it. And sometimes the amount of feed was quite skimpy. It's different today, however, since Cubice Laird, our county agent, and Jake White, for- mer count\ agent now xwvorking with the state agricultural experiment station, have talked their fool heads off and actually shown with experimental plantings that the grass crop needs fertilizer just like any other crop and that it will produce more meat and milk per acre if it is fertilized properly and adequately. Their labors have not been in vain, for cattle- men and farmers of the county now realize that it is practical and very much worthwhile to fertilize their pastures. , Results obtained from experimental plant- ings have given our cattlemen and farmers a definite program to follow in improving pas- tures and increasing production of the final products-meat and milk, and because so much promise is indicated in the work to date, many more land owners are expected *-) join in the program. Significant developments in this improve- ment in pastures of Gulf county) include the findings as to soil needs, the introduction of improved grasses and clovers, and the grazing tests on different soil types, different grasses, and on fertilized and unfertilized pastures. Through financial help from the federal agri- cultural cosservatios program and front pri- vate capital, farmers and cattlemen of the county have used the findings of the research men in applying fertilizer to several hundred acres of pastures during the past few years. Most of them are sold on the idea that satis- factory production of meat and milk depend primarily on good pastures, and they aie Im- proving their grazing lands as fast as they can by applying fertilizer and planting improved grasses. Good grass is necessary for success in pro- ducing meat and milk, but also necessary is a good strain of cattle, and these two young men, Laird and White, are also weaning our cattle- men and farmers over to thoroughbred stock. and as a consequence prospects for continued progress with grass and cattle in Gulf county are bright. then rate. 3 cheers.
