Fire Loss At Gunn
Shop Set'At %l 2,000O

The fire department was called
,out at 2 o'clock Sunday morning to
combat a blaze in the woodworking
shop of E. F. Gunir on Woodward
Avenue near Sixth Stre-et. The fire,
of undetermined origin, had gained
considerably headway before being
discovered and the greater part of
the shop and garage we're demol-
ished before it could be brought un-
der control.
Mr. nGuin stated that his Io.ss was
approximately $12,000 and that he
carried but $3000 in insurance. He
had just a few days previously pur-
chased the building of Bob Kingry
at Highland View and had stored
some new machinery in the shop
preparatory to moving it to tae
new location. In addition the loss
included his regular woodworking
equipment and lumber stock, honey
extracting equipment and quite a
bit of honey. Five barrels of honey
and some lumber were saved from
the flames.

On Fire Control

Unit for County


Owners of 81 Per Cent of Acreage
Sign Petition Calling for ,
Referendum

Early in February representatives
of the Florida Forest Service met
with the Gulf county board of com-
mnissioners to present the facts con-
cerning the establishment of a'.,
county-wide fire control unit. This
meeting proved very successful and
the county commissioners passed a
resolution to the effect that they
would accept a petition of the peo-
ple calling for a referendum in the
general election to be h'e-ld next No-
vemiber if properly signed and pre-
sented to them. The board also went
on record as favoring, such a pro-
gram for Gulf courity.
The petition, which is a require-
ment of the state lawv regarding es. ,.
tablishment of a county-wide fire
control unit, has been completed.
Owners of approximately 81% of
the total acreage of the county have
signed, and represented their lands
on this petition.
At present 203,389 acres of land
are under fire protection in GulY
county, a.nd if the. citizens vote fa-
vora bly toward establishing this
county,wide fire control unit, all
lands in the county would go under
protection with the Florida Forest
Service. -Under the county-wide pro-
gram, landowners, both large, and
small, would benefit iiall' fromn
fire control.
The forest service already has
most of the necessary improve-
ments to protect the county from
wild fires. There are at present In.
thl county three towers, 82 miles ot,
telephone line', one oiflfice, one truck
shed'and eight houses, in addition
to the mobile equipment. The only
changes necessary would, be to, ex-
pand the area of fire prote.ctiou to
include all lands within the county
and to add to the present organiza-
tion additional personnel and equip-
inent to give adequate fire protec-
tion to the county.

THE UNIVERSAL Jep DOES MORE FOR


THE FARMER THAN ANY, OTHER VEHICLE


0 With 4-wheel drive for traction and steady pulling
power in the field, the "Jeep" has a drawbar pull of
1200 lbs., operates almost any standard tilling or har-
vesting implement. Rear power-take-off runs power-
driven implements from standard spline shaft drive.


'0 The Universal "Jeep' is for hauling and towing on
'or off the road in all kinds of weather. It carries up
to 1200 pounds, pulls a braked load of 2Y2 tons at
highway speeds.


0 The "Jeep" can be used with the latest development
in modern farming-a new hydraulic lift that raises,
lowers or adjusts depth of implement while the oper-
ator remains comfortably seated. And of course it
handles conventional pull-type implements, too.


* It provides mobile power anywhere on the farm;
for operating many types of power-driven equipment
such as separators, feed grinders, buzz saws, hammer
mills, ensilage eqters and numerous others.


This message gives but a glimpse of the all-around, year-'round
usefulness of the Universal "Jeep". We invite 'you to see this
versatile vehicle in action and let us prove that it does more
different jobs than any other single farm vehicle. Call for a
demonstration now-on your farm, with your equipment.

Great Trucks


es Sir! Were sincerely grateful


to our Customers and Friends

Demand for International Trucks has been greater than supply,
Our customers and friends know that. And our customers and
friends have been patient and cooperative.
But a few people seem to think that what is called aseller's
market is a bed of roses for the seller. Believe us that just isn't
so. Our business is in this community; and when things pile
up so we can't take care of our customers and friends as fast as
they'd like to be taken care of, we're not in a spot that we enjoy
at all.
But there are two things we're proud of: One is the service
maintenance we've been able to furnish to keep International
and other trucks on the job and to hold operating costs down.
The other is the fine cooperation we've had from customers
and friends. Our customers and friends have been mighty
understanding; and we want to say, publicly, right now, that
we deeply appreciate the fine spirit they've shown.
We urge truck operators now to do two things:
1. To continue to use our truck maintenance service for trucks
now in operation. That way they'll get best results until new
trucks are delivered.
2. To place with us promptly the specifications for the new
trucks they need. That way they'll help us make the earliest
deliveries possible.

GLADES FISHERMEN
FREED OF CHARGES
County Judge J. M. Couse Mon-
day at Moore Haven quashed the
charges against six commercial
fishermen of unlawful seining in
Lake Okeechobe'e and unlawfully
possessing certain fishing equip-
ment.
Judge Couse, after arguments by
attorneys for the state game and
fresh water fish commission and
the fishsomen, held there was some
"reasonableness" in the fishermen's
contention that seining in the lake
was not reducing the lake's popu-
lation of food fish,


in their canipaigns.

Our Country "- Right or Wrong

JUST SUPPOSIN'
Ever since the city of Port St. Joe enacted
the ordinance providing a fee for garbage col-
-lection there have been a considerable number
of residents who have refused to pay the nomi-
nal sum of 50 cents per month for the service,
yet they continue to take advantage of it at
the expense of those who do pay, and they
probably would raise cain with the city com-
'missioners should they be refused the collec-
tion service.
Probably back of the attitude assumed by'
these delinquents is the idea that the city can
and will continue to perform its various func-
tions even if taxes are not paid. To a certain
extent this is true, but it could not continue
indefinitely. Eventually the city would be
forced to discontinue all public services for lack
of funds to carry on.
Now, just supposin'
That two-thirds of the taxpayers n*-
Port St. Joe went on strike and decided not to
pay any taxes at all. The question that would
then confront our city officials would be to de-
cide which of the public services to discontinue
first.
Probably the-first service to be dis.contintiled
would be the cleaning of the streets. That 'un-
doubtedly could be dispensed with, but in a
short time our little city would become mighty
-unattractive. After that the subject of this edi-
torial, garbage removal, would probably come
next, for this is a service each householder
-could perform for himself. It would be a rather
unpleasant task to many-and extremely un-
pleasant to those who had failed to pay their
taxes for such service.
Street lighting could be cut down to a few
hours a night, and eventually discontinued al-
together, but this would prove very annoying
to everybody and result in many accidents and
an increase in various forms of thievery.
The next logical economy would be the dis-
missal of all day police, and eventually the
aight force would have to be dispensed with
unless they wanted to work for nothing. Suen
action, no doubt, would be followed by an epi-
demic of breaking and entering, sneak thievery
.and every other form of depredation usually
Performed under cover of darkness.
'Probably the last service to be discontinued
would be that rendered by the fire and water
,departments. In addition to the inconvenience
of having to depend on cisterns and tanks, the
few remaining citizens who would be left in
Port St. Joe by this time would awake one
,morning soon after the fire and water de-
partmnents were closed down, to find that their
fire insurance had been cancelled or that the
rate had been doubled or trebled.
Rather a gloomy picture, isn't it? But then
we were just supposin' .
The point we are endeavoring to put over to
those who feel they shouldn't be required to
pay a garbage collection fee is what would
happen if we all refused to pay our taxes. The
city has no magic means of rendering these
services. They all require money, and the city
lias income only from the waterworks, a small
dab from the state race track fund and the tax-
payers, who are, in a very real sense, the city.
- The city of Port St. Joe is merely a term for
the association formed by the people them-


selves for the purpose of securing and enjoy-
ing- the benefits to be had by pooling their re-
:- urces and energies. If one fails to carry his
Iurden for any reason, the load of each other
one is made a bit heavier. If half of the people
will not assume their share of the load, the
burden of the other half is doubled.

PEPPER REBUKED
Senator Claude Pepper suffered the most
stinging defeat in his political history in the
recent primary in his home state of Florida,
and many Floridians predict the Florida pri-
1marv election of delegates to the Deialocratic
national convention marks the beginning of the
end of Senator pepper's political career.
Senatr 'Pepper, who has boasted of heading
the l"oio ida delegation to the national conven-
tions of 1940 and 1944, may avoid being even
an alternate delegate this year and will have
virtually no voice in the deliberations of the
1948 ["lorida delegation, as only four of Flor-
ida's 20 votes in the delegation are in the hands
of delegates sponsored in the primary exclu-
sively by Senator Pepper.
Florida had the longest ballot in the state's
history and the delay in the final count, plus
the confused situation, probably is responsible
for most news reporters missing the signifi-
cance of the results.
Florida andd Alabama are tie only two south-
ern states that elect their delegates to the na-
tional convention and their presidential elec-
tors by a vote of the people in the regular tpri-
mary. ilMost states designate them by party
convention. In Albama, where the issue was
iclearcut, the vote was overwhelmingly against
Truman and the "Civil Rights Program."
In Florida the ballot was long and the issues
were deliberately confused. Florida has 20
votes in the national convention and eight
presidential electors in the electoral college,
but the final results show that Florida voters
are definitely anti-Truman and anti-Pepper.
The Florida Democratic Club, a strictly anti-
Pepper organization,, qualified and sponsored
a full slate of'candidates for delegates pledged
-to co-operate with other southern states and
against Truman, against Pepper, and against
the so-called "Civil Rights Program." It also
endorsed seven of tile eight candidates for
presidential electoy.
Pepper spent much time in Florida lining up
a slate of pro-Pepper candidates for delegates.
At the last minute a third slate of candidates
was put in the race. This slate was publicized
and advertised as middle-of-the-roaders on the
southern revolt but anti-Truman and anti-civil
rights.
The final results give the strictly anti-Pep-
per group 111/% convention votes and the comn-
bined opposition 81/., votes. Of these 81/ /votes
candidates sponsored exclusively by 'Senator
Pepper hold only four votes.
Of the seven candidates for presidential
elector endorsed by the Florida Democratic
Club five were elected, one defeated, and one
went into the second primary.
This analysis of the Florida primary cer-
tainly indicates that ultra-liberal Senator Pep-
per, who a short time ago, as the result of his
nation-wide speeches as apologist for Joe
Stalin, gave him the nickname of "Red Pep-
per," is well on the way to political oblivion
in his home- state of Florida. He's a persuasive
gentleman, but just at this juncture it looks
as though his powers of cajolery will be taxed
beyond his capacity.-Palatka News.

Ancients used to believe that if a man laid
his head against the head of a young girl it
would cure a headache. After all, there is noth-
ing like the old remedies.

Could it be that the war inow going on in
the Holy Land is leading up to the fateful
Battle of Armageddon predicted in the Bible ?

Statistics show that 17 per cent of Ameri-
cans are flat-footed. W'e hope no one digs up
the sad figures on how many are flat-headed.

Storing Tomatoes
To store mature tomatoes, wrap
each tomato in a piece of paper and
store indoors in a rather cool place.
Bring them into the kitchen a few
days before they are to be used and
unwrap. This will cause them to
ripen. In this way they can be kept
several months.

Light Rubber Lung
A lightweight rubber lung that
can be carried like a stretcher is the
latest device for giving artificial
respiration to victims of infantile
paralysis, drowning, electric shock
and poisoning. The new lung is built
around a large rubber bellows which
replaces a heavy steel tank used to
enclose patients in iron lungs. An
electric pump forces air In and out,

DEAR FRIENDS:
You are being: Requested, Canvassed, Asked, Petitioned and Solicited to: Come int
and see, wish for, inquire about, find out about, tell'us about, and trade for, or buy
any one of, all of, or parts of the following articles that can be bought from or traded
for at the St. Joe Supply Co., Inc., which is located at the corner of Reid Avenue and
Second Street, or across from the 100 Taxi Stand, or catty-cornered across from' the

.is the next town to Wewahitchka, which is southeast of Panama City, which is west of
New Orleans, which is south of the North Pole.

All of the articles we mention are new, unused, wanted, and can be had for a very
small amount of money, which is legal tender, a medium of exchange and the root of
all evil. The reason we are taking up your time to tell you all this is because we are

This sale will last through the month of June, which is the sixth month. of the year
and will leave only a nominal number of shopping days until Christmas.

We can't be sure that everyone will see this advertisement .so when you get
through reading it, although you won't understand it, for we don't ourselves, we will
appreciate it if you will be kind enough to hand this copy of The Star to some one of
youi many friends so they can't understand it, too.
Thanks!


All articles that we have in stock that are not covered by a fair trades act or
that are covered by a franchise will be REDUCED 10%,,and those that are

Early in the spring, before the
trees began to leaf out, we notice
a couple of mocking birds fluttering
about among the bare branches of
two elder t *.es (at least we think
they're elders) which we set out
some eight years ago. They came
back occasionally for the next two
or three weeks and each visit re-
sulted, in lengthy discussions be-
tween the two. Finally the trees
became fully leafed out, and about
a month ago we were, awakened
early in the morning by the songs
of the two birds.We mentally cursed
them for waking us, turned over
and continued ,our snooze. And now
this occurs every morning, earlier
and earlier as the days get longer.
for those two pesky feathered
fiends have set up housekeeping in
our trees. We, cuss 'emi in
the early morning hours, threaten-
ing everything from mayhem to cut-
ting down the trees, but after we've
had our morning coffee our mood
changes and 'we hearken to the
singing. of these birds who have no
song of their own but have to be
cnontent with picking up the notes
.f their feathered friends. We
we,- telling'little Anthony Prid-
gain (quite a regular visitor to our"
-domicile) about the birds and how
they woke us up every morning, and
he volunteered to get his air gun
and knock 'em galleywest. We. in-
formed him that if he so much as
knocked a tail feath :r off 'em we'ci
tan his tall so that he wouldn't be
able to sit, down for a week. .
Now we're wAiting to see what
comes out of the nest of these two
warblers. ',. '; m
And speaking of that Pridgeo t
family down the street. Ed dis-
covered recently that a bear had
i;een helping himself to honey from
hMs hives out in the woods and had
knocked over several stands, so he
decoeedl to get Mr. Bear. He went
*out one night and crouched in his
honey house with a shotgun in his
hand and the door open a wee crack.
To make the situation clearer to
our readers, the ground around the
honey house is well-padked'. A's Ed
waited patiently he was startled by
a loud "Whooif!" almost in his face.
(Seems the hear was interested in
what was in the honey house and
Ed. hadn't heard him on the hard
ground.) Ed' says he almost fell
over, and by the time he got the
,door open the bear had high-tailed
into the bushes. He says he took a
couple of shots in the direction of
the noise,, but without result. (We'd
be willing' to' bet those shots went

Jportunity to examine the scene.)

Four site- have been selected for
the tests- Lakeland. Ocala, Talla-
liassee and Munson. In each o.r
these al-.as the experimental plant-
ings were made 'with treated seed
and an equal quantity of untreated
seed, under the same growing con-
ditions 'for one year.
One, of the .main purposes of the
test will be to learn how well tie
pelletized seed -will grow when just
strewn on the ground. R. U. Titus,
management chief of the ;forest ser-
vice,, said he hoped the tests prove
that direct seeding through use of
pelletized seed ,proves practical be-
cause it would save the state and
its citizens thousands of dollars on
costly nursery and planting opera-
tions every year.
In the North and West other or-
ganizations have tried out pelleted
seed, but not for reforestation. The
first use of pelleted seed is believed
to have been in the sugar beet in-
dustry, where planters found it
fairly successful. Whether or not it
proves practical in reforestation re-
mains to !be seen a year from now.
