Woolfolk Speaks Here
On Behalf of Burton

VWalter Woolfolik of Lake Wales,
assistant state attorney of the 10th
judicial circuit, spoke here briefly
Wednesday on half of Grady Buir-
tui. candidate for attorney general.
Yi'oolfolk stressed the fact that
Burton is an able and capable at-
torney, civic leader, a war veteran,
and is not machine-controlled or
machine-finance.d, and that Burton's
friends invite thle conscientious, un-
controlled voting citizens to investi-
gate the issues involved, in the at-
torney .general race.
Wollfolk made a clear inference
that Burton's' opponent (Dick Er-
vin) has the blessing of the Cald-
well administration.

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:

ficial with signatures of members

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.
Funeral services were, held Mon-
day afternoon at the Wewah1tchka'
Baptist Church, with interment in'
Jehu cemetery. The Comforter Fu-
neral home of this city was in
charge oaf arrangements.

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.

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.

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.

We heard a local man say that his wife is a
thing of beauty and a jawer forever. We won't
mention his name, since he's a subscriber to
The Star.

FERTILIZING GRASS IS GOOD IDEA
Not many years ago, applying fertilizer to
pasture land in Gulf county was unheard of.
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.
Yours with. the low down,
JO SERRA.

Interested In Election
M. J. Fill.,ngim, a l'ormer resident
of Port St. Joe, now at St. Marys,

Wednesday to get the results of
the county election.


Now that spring's in full swing, you'll want to enjoy plenty
of daytime playtime. And you can ... if you plan easy-to-fix

as the main course and delicious shortcake for dessert. Want

'he wi'e-savers I always keep on
mine are A&P's tasty IONA

IONA BRAND CANNED GOODS,
they're Grade C, which means
they're just as nutritious as A&P
and SULTANA (A&P's A and B
grades), but cost less. The chief
difference is in size and appear-
ance, so they're ideal for use in
dishes like the one below.

Pour into greased
casserole; sprinkle with buttered
crumbs, and bake 30 minutes in

SHORTCAKE IN SHORT ORDER
This is shortcake season at my
house, but that doesn't mean extra
work for me. My recipe for short-
