Fishing Licenses Will Soon Be Available County Judge J. Earl Pridgeon states that he expects to receive the new 1948-4.9 fishing licenses this week, and, that they will go on sale when received. However, Judge Pridgeon calls attention to the fact that the game and fresh water fish commission has notified him that the n'.ew licenses will not be valid nor honored until July 1. The judge reminds fresh water anglers that all persons between the ages of 15 and 65 who fish with rod and reel or fish outside their home county are required. to' have a li- cense. A person may fish in his home county with pole and line without a license. Out-of-state fishermen must have a special non-residqnt license.

Estimate 20,000 Bream Taken From Dead Lakes On First Day of Season Gulf county's Dead Lakes, often called ",bream fisherman's heaven," appaIrently is living up to its repu- tati.n this season, as John F. De- fuine, chief fisheries biologist of the state game and. fresh water fish commission, estimates that anglers tocik nearly 20,000 'bream rcrm the famous fishing ground on the open- in.g d.ay of the season last week. He 'based his estimate on reports of a fish management crew assigned to gather catch data on. the lakes June 1. He said the crew's survey indicated more than 1500 persons flocked onto the lake opening dlay, and that the average angler caught about 13 fish averaging slightly less than half a pound each. Sh--llcrackers, red.breasts, stump- knockers and bluegills made' up most of the strings, he said. Barke Named As County Treasurer of AOA-UNAC S. L.

New Fords Go On Display In Port St. Joe Next Friday The distinctive styling of the 1949 Ford convertible features smooth, flowing contours, full fender-width body and luxurious interior appointments. Completely new, the convertible chassis is doubly reinforced. The "new look" in architecture pro- vided by modern houses built without basements and hugging the ground, calls for a new look in the landscap- ing planting about them. SThe green line of shrubs and ever- greens which looks so well on two story houses with high basements, is. obviously out of place in front of a 1"w, modem house. Too often you iee picture windows screened by a tall growth of shrubbery, and the at- tractive lines of a ranch house hidden behind evergreens which in a brief period have grown too tall. Foundation planting is a method of making houses set too high, seem lower than they are by "tieing the house to the ground." But modern one- story houses hug the ground already and do not peed to appear lower. If any planting is done in front of them it should be low and should make the house look wide, by emphasizing the horizontal line. Small houses especially uieed this effect. Flower borders accomplish this pur- 'pose. They provide an attractive foil }for the somewhat severe lines which ' prevail in houses primarily designed for the comfort of the occupants rather than for outside appearance. Front yard flower gardens provide an attractive view to enjoy from pic- ture windows. Architects often ar- range for two level plantings, one on the ground and one in boxes raised to a point just below the windows. When flowers are planted in beds each of a single color, and all in harmony, the effect is in keeping with modern ideas of design and decora- tion. The illustrations show such a plant- ing, in rectangular beds, as well as the use of two level flower borders. In addition to the flowers which are suggested, other flowers of different colors may be used, to harmonize with the house. Annuals of dwarf habit which produce the desired effect in- clude ageratum, anchusa, violet and white aslyssum, dwarf calliopsis, car- nations, crested celosias. annual pinks, lobelia, dwarf marigolds, dwarf morn- ing glories, forget-me-nots, nastur- tiums, nierembergia, petunias, pansies and violas, annual phlox, Shirley pop- pies, portulaca, salvia, verbenas and small flowered zinnias, A precedent has been established green and bayview blue. in the low-priced automotive field The istrument panel has been by combining ;beauty with durabil- sEimplitfied.

The air is caught and held in tiny pockets on the scales of the wool fibers. This layer of air is a shield against the out- side temperature,. thus acting as an insulator. This insulation may protect from heat as well as from cold. Arabs wear woolen cloaks and hoods. Mexicans wear woolen blankets, or serapes. Wool keeps out the bitter cold of Arctic or des- ert nights. Wool is a natural regu- lator of body temperatures, being a natural thermostat. Finds Germ Fighter The discoverer of streptomycin has announced the isolation in his laboratory of a new antibiotic des- ignated as grisein. This substance is not a rival of streptomycin, but may serve as a supplement to it, since it is effective against certain germs that develop resistance to streptomycin. Unfortunately, gri- sein is not effective against tuber- culosis. Home Nursing Tips If your patient needs a back rest, try slipping a washboard into a pil- lowcase and cover with pillows to make it more comfortable. For an ice bag you can tie together the ends of an inner tube, while a soap box or orange crate, covered with gay-col- ored cloth makes an excellent bed table.

But th.5 colors aren't the only things which will be changed. "Antiques" and "goats" each wilI have their own distinctive tags. They've h-en using the "T" tags re- served for light vehicles. An "an- tique" is any car over 20 years old that is in roadworthy condition, and they will have "Q" tags. "Goats," the vehicles used fo.r citrus grove work, will carry "P" tags. Another change will only affect l vrowiard county. This county has so many cars that the. tags are too small to carry all the numbers necessary along with the county designation number "10." So when more than i certain nuniber of Broward tags have 'been manufac- tured. the state will add the lett'e.r "A" after the figures. This will cre- ate a whole new series. In that way, Braward tag 10-9999 might be fol- lowed by 10-1A instead of 10-10000. If necessary, a "B" series will fol- low. and so on thru the alphabet. The. same procedure may be fol- lowed in other counties if space runs out on. their tags.

Our Country Right or Wrong THE FIRE ENGINE As we walked up the street Wednesday af- ternoon of last week' we noticed a small spiral of smoke curling up from the grass on Wil- liams.Avenue back of Welton Roche's building. We thought: "Someone has tossed a' cigaret ,out of their car as they drove along without thinking it could start a grass fire." We could have gone a half block out of our way and stamped it out with our foot, but it was hot and we weren't particularly over-ambitious at the moment. Soon flames could be seen and they began spreading through the grass and licking up the boles of small pine trees. Presently someone turned in an alarm and the fire engine came down the street, siren screaming, with Gus Creech at the wheel, the few remaining hairs (on his head whipping in the breeze. Other vol- .unteers, some still in their baseball togs, soon ihad the small grass fire extinguished, and all was well. We all like to watch the fire engine go by. It's an exciting sight, with the siren yowling like a banshee and the firemen hanging on foir ,dear life and the dogs and the children tearing ;down the street after it. But the sight at the end of its run may not Ie so stimulating. It may be a grass fire, as was this one, easily put out with extinguishers. It may be some .deserted shack which should have been torn down long ago. It may be mi- iror damage to a building. But, on the other hand, it may be a fire that puts a concern out of business for months that .employs a considerable number of people-or a -fire that destroys a house that represents the ,-savings and labor of years of one of our neigh- hors-or. a fire that burns somebody to death. Whatever kind of fire it is, great or small, ,costly or unimportant, it makes its contribu- .tion to the national record of fire waste. Maybe -the damage to a building only runs into a few Hundred dollars-a sum so small as to be hardly 'worth talking about.. That may have been a little fire you saw. But, day after day, mopth after Inonth, year after year, thousands of such fires occur. And that-when we add in the occasional conflagration that does damage run- aning past the million mark-is why American carelessness with fire costs us well over half a billion dollars a year. The fire siren sounds from atop the bank building and our fire engine answers another call. Maybe it's fun to see it shriek by-but it's the kind of fun we pay for in lives and doi- lars and total destruction. UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE ABUSES Is state unemployment insurance becoming something of a racket in many instances? The official figures lead one to that unsavory con- clusion. in 1946, a year of full employment, the ratio of benefits paid to contributions collected for the country as a whole was 120.1 per cent. Eighteen states paid out more in benefits than they received in unemployment levies, and three paid out more than twice as much. Th.e experience in 1947 was a little better. 1But the ratio paid to contributions collectecc was over 70 p>,- cent, and several states paid out more than they took in. It must be kept in mind that this happened during years when the national income. em- ployment and production in general were at an all-time peak. In another depression, with its consequent mass unemployment, it is almost impossible to visualize what would happen to the funds. Obviously, their receipt would be only a drop in the bucket compared to outgo, and a stupendous burden would be placed on the taxpayers. The editor of The Star doesn't lay claim to being an expert on matters of this character, but from what we've noticed around Port St. Joe in the past few years we believe that many men, not only here but all over the nation, are using the unemployment funds as a means of obtaining paid vacations when they don't feel like working-and that laxity either in the law or in the administration of the law is making this possible That is an inexcusable abuse of a system which was set up t6 help those who were out of work throligh no fault, of their owvn and couldn't find a job after a period of honest, aggressive searching. It must be stopped, and it can only be stopped by action within the states. In a story of a baseball game scheduled be- St\veen. Milton and DeFuniak Springs, Edito. Clayt'on .Mapoles of the Milton Gazette says: "Curtis Lynn will throw the game in Milton, while W. C. Reagan will pitch for the Sox in DeFuniak." Tut, tut, Brother Mapoles, is it nice to come right out and say your pitcher will "throw" the game before it is played? Look how unscrupulous gamblers could make a killing. We got a new car from Otto Anderson re- cently aind we don't know how fast it will go, and we don't know how far we could lean out of .a tenth-story window without falling into the street. It is said there is a species of sheep in the 1-limnalayas that can run 60 miles an hour. That's the only kind that could possibly fol- low Mary today.

The city's matching funds will amount to better than 837,000, the greater part of which will be in the form of contributions from contractors who had construction jobs on the paper mill. The building will be :uilt in Monument Park and will be 109x82 feet. It will have an auditorium cap- abl, of seating 700, a stage with dressing rooms, two meeting roowis for civic organizations, and a large room to be used as a museum.

P-,rkins will leave Sunday to return to their home in Lynchburg, Va., after a visit ,of two weeks here with Mr. and Mrs. Glenn Boyles. the St. Joe company. The commission found that nei- ther company had submitted enough figures to sustain their claim ro:' higher rates. In the case of South- eastern, the comniisision pointed out that the company asked *for in- crea3ses on a state-wide basis, and rejected that approach to rate-mak- ing. Each exchange, said the com- mission's order, must stand on its own basis. The commission also found that the St. Joseph company is earning nearly 7 per cent on its total in- vestment, while the Southeastern has been earning more than 5 per cent on its Florida operation. 'It concluded that during an inflationr- ary period when the money rate is low, a return of 5 to 6 per cent would appear to. be sufficient to maintain the credit of either of these companies.
