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. Chil-
dren under 15 years of age may fisl
anywhere in the state without a li-
cense and are entitled to catch as
many fish as their elders.
Resident state licenses cost $2.00

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.

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,

Wool Is an Insulator
Wool clothing holds a layer of air
around the body. 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

ters on a cream-colored background.
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.

President Approves Civic Center
Word was received this week
from Washington that President
Roosevelt had placed his stamp of
approval on the proposed civic cen-
ter for Port St. Joe and had autor-
ized WPA funds to the amount of
$35,246 for its construction. 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.

Work of grading Long Avenue
preparatory to paving is coming on
apace, grades having been *hroomn

Rate Hike for Telephone
Companies Is Denied

Applications of the Southeastern
Telephone Company and the St.
Joseph Telephone & Telegraph Com-
pany for higher rates& have been re-
jected by the Florida Railroad and
Public Utilities Commissian until
they prove they aren't making a
fair return.
The commission, meeting this
week in Tallahassee. denied the two
applications for rate increases af-
fecting 12 exchanges for Southeast


.Street will be held next Sunday af- pen, stretching from Crestview to

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.
