HELP PROMOTE PORT ST. JOE BY JOINING THE JUNIOR CHAMBER OF COMMERCE '4 T H E STAR "TRADE AT HOME" SPEND YOUR MONEY WITH LOCAL MERCHANTS AND GET ANOTHER SHOT AT IT . If We Can't "Rib" Our Readers, We Don't Want 'Em To Read This Rag VOLUME XI PORT ST. JOE, FLORIDA, FRIDAY, JUNE 18, 1948 NUMBER 3., Many Activities For Recreation Program Set Up Young People of City Are Offered Various Forms of Entertainment During Summer Months By MARION CRAIG The summer playground program being conducted for children from 6 to 12 years of age got underway Wednesday morning at the high school with 26 children -attending the initial session. Daily sessions will b?. held Monday through Friday at the school from 9 a. m. until 12. Parents are urged: to allow their. children to attend. Softball, volle-ylball, badminton, horseshoes, basketball, group sing- ing, movies, beach parties, an'd handicraft work will 'be available to the children during the program, which will continue until August 15. All activities will be closely super- vised and the children will e in- structed in the skills required to participate in the various activities. A prize will be awarded the boy and girl having the best attendance record. Prizes will also be. awarded the boy and girl voted most, out- standing by the children attending the playground. Activities are planned that will interest the 'teen age group, also, with movies being shown each Wed- nesday night at the recreation cen- ter on Woodward Avenue, and a dance to be held each Friday night -at the-toenter All young t.-oBpl' are asked' to come and bring their friends. Roller skating, will be available as soon as the surfacing of the. streets is completed and permission can 'be obtained from city officials. Swimming parties, will be held at the Wiayside Park beach as so-on az transportation is made available. We would, like to form volleyball leagues for men and women, and any civic, social or commercial or- ganization desiring to enter a team in either o'f these leagues is.asked to contact Coach Marion Craig at the high school any morning be- tween 9 and 12 o'clock. Aid will gladly 'be given in organizing and instructing thi.o teams. Volleyball is not i strenuous game, however, it is an excellent recreational sport, and if given half a chance it should become popular in this community. Bulletin boards are oeing placed in vai'ious sections of the conmmun- ity to aid the recreation depart- ment in keeping the public in- formed of its activities. Consult the boards frequently and. inform your friends of events that are pending. It is hoped to place boards at the following places: Love's Store. in Oak Grove, the commissary at Ken- ney's Mill, postoflice at Highland View; postoffice in St. Joe, and at the corner of Hunter's Circle and Garrison Avenue.

Operator of Crane Dies As Boom Hits High Voltage Line Accident Occurs At Oil Terminal Where Work Is Being Completed On Erection of New Tanks Rudolph Taunton'. 26, a resident of Wewahitchka for the past six months and an employee for several months of the George G. Tapper Company hler., died last Friday af- ternoon when the boom of the crane lie had been operating struck a 2300-volt power line. -Taunton, who had been operating the crane in 'building dikes around recently-comple.ted storage tanks at the Southeastern Terminal, had completed the last dike and, lel't his crane when he noticed it was swing- ing slowly toward the electric line. Realizing he. had failed to lock the boom, lie started to climb back into the cab, and as he did the boom struck the wires, throwing him to. the ground. As he fell, one or his aiims dropped onto a steel plate un- der the crane which is used to give solid support to jacks, and the elec- tricity flowed from the plate thrt Taunton's body to the ground. It is the belief of witnesses to the acci- dent that Taunton would have sur- vived the. first shock haa not his arm fallen on the iron plate. Taunton is survived' by his wire, Hazel and two daughters, Janice and Karan, oi' Tallassee, Ala.; his parents. Mr. and Mrs. George P.

FLORIDA S10 YEARS AGO From the Files of The Star Harmony Urged At Road Session Absolute harmony; 100 per cent co-operation and the forgetting of county or sectional lines in the ad- vancement of the. best interests of Florid'i as a whole, were the 'key- notes struck 'by the score or more of speakers who addressed the joint meeting of the Gulf Coast Highway Association and the Northwest Flor- ida Association held yesterday in the lobby of the Port Inn. Among other matters discussed was the building of the St. Marks cutoff to shorten the distance between West Florida and South Florida points. Street Tax Set At $2.00 The city dads Tuesday night set the street tax this year at $2. A number of years ago, when times were hard, the tax was cut to $1.50 and this has been in effect up to the present. Under an old ordin- ance the street tax in St. Joe is $3 for E.very aiblethodied man between the ages of 21 and 45 years. Each individual, under the terms of the ordinance, has the privilege of pay- ing thetax in cash or working it out on the streets. Two Ships Dock The SS Hilton ol' the Bull Line docked Wednesdiy to, load paper for deivlery to Newark, N. J., and the Henry M. Dawes of the Sabine Transportation Co. of Fort Worth, Texas, tied up Thursday. to dis- charge a cargo of fuel oil for the paper mill. New Theater To Open Monday Thb. diy to which theater-goer- of Port St. Joe have been looking forward to with anticipation will dawn next Monday, the date set for op-ening of th. Port Theater, which is classed as one of the most mod- ern and up-to-date in this section of Florida. Immediately after clos- ing of thi. theater at 11:30 Monday night, the management is staging a free dance at the Port Inn, with music furnished by Dan Farmer's orchestra. Urge Dock Development That Port St. Joe has unlimited possibilities as a'shipping port was the opinion of a delegation from the chamber of commerce appearing be- fore the city commissioners Tues- day night to ask that they do all in their power to speed up completion of the. municipal dock. They stated that several large lumber companies had been inquiring as to port fa- cilities here and had indicated, a willingness to ship through Port St. Joe. It was also' pointed out that shippers of cotton, Fullerls earth, tobacco and other products in. this area would make use of the. dock, as it is the nearest port for ship- ment of their products.

It was further stated that the present high cost of living is caus- ing many families to seek assist- ance from the welfare board as the only means of providing the bare necessities of life. As a result of the large number of applications being approved for aid to dependent chil- dre.n, more than. 18,000 families will be placed on the state rolls during the month of June, which is the maximum number that can be car- ried during the next fiscal year at the present average grant. The welfare board recognizes the tact that the present average grant will not meet 100 per cent of the minimum need of aid to dependent children families, and for this reason first consideration will henceforth be given to families that have little or no availablle resources.

Our Country ,.- Right or Wrong CARS ARE STILL SCARCE Have you picked up a paper recently and .glanced through the classified pages to note selling prices of used cars? You can buy a '42 model for just about what you'd pay for a '48 model-if you could get it. And the '48 "used .cars,",which have been driven around the block from the dealer's showroom to the used car establishment only cost you about half as much again as they would have if you had bought them from the dealer-if you could buy 'em from the dealer. There are enough orders on the books of automobile makers to keep their plants going for two years, with a demand for new cars greater than when the war ended, according to M. E. Coyle, vice-president of the General Mo- ,tors Corporation, who points out that the pub- lic is bidding from $800 in the low-priced field 1o more than $3000 in the high-priced field above the prices recommended by factories. Coyle points out that used cars, of recent -vintage, are selling above the recommended 1948 new car prices. He admits that the autos -:mobile industry is not accustomed to such con- ,ditions and may not be handling the situation too well. While automobile makers have often wished to sed a year when the product was in -such demand that "we could sell all we could -make regardless of price, or product appeal," Coyle admits that "we got our wish and we do -not like it." HERE GOES THE NEW LOOK! The following item comes from an issue of '"Florida Health Notes" printed in 1908: "Dr. Walter S. Graham, in a talk at the civic ,committee meeting in Miami, gave statistics from the state board of health and cautioned especially the women within his hearing of the danger of wearing long skirts. He advo- cated most emphatically the adoption of short - skirts, especially for street wear, explaining *that millions of germs were carried into homes 1;by the agency of the long skirt." An old bachelor says that women laugh when they can, and weep when they will. "BACKWARD" AMERICA? All the proponents of socialism, communism Poet's Corner and other what-have-you-isms argue that their P y Plished Under This Poetry Published Under This systems offer the "common man" greater se- Heading At 5 Cents Per Line curity and material benefits. As Al Smith used I -- to say, let's look at the record. FATHER England has gone in for socialism in a big Hello, Father, on .Father's Day, I can see you serene reading the Way. And what has happened ? Once a great events of the day, coal exporting nation, she can now hardly pro- .And the. funnies with a twinkle in duce enough for her own needs. lHer electric power industry has gone downhill and rates are higher than ever before. Her whole social- ized economy is as shaky as a tree in a storm. Russia, of course, has gone whole hog in its version of a "people's government," to own or control all productive activity, and only a mis- crable miitlininum of consumer goods is pro- duced, I ler retail stores-all of which belong to the state-arc stocked with only a few neces- sitie and even these are strictly rationed. I'rices., measured by average earning power, are far higher than in this country" . "Backward" America, on the other hand, still cling's to representative government and a capitalist economy. The "tragic" results of this are seen on every hand-the most efficl- ent industries on earth, the highest standards of living in the world in spite of inflation, more leisure and opportunity for all, retail stores groaning with every kind of commodity, and a competitive system which has to please the people or go out of business-no "take it or leave it" system. The socialists and the comnmunies have a sad story. It just doesn't make sense. ,And yet they are working and shouting here that the U. S. should turn away from its present system and adopt theirs. Will we fall for it? We will not! RIVER PROJECT WILL BENEFIT ST. JOE Allocation by senate and house committees of $3,000,000 for the Jim Woodruff dam at Chattahoochee in the rivers and harbors bill -(which practically assures its passage) should be of interest to this section, for development of the Apalachicola, Chattahoochee and Flint rivers will eventually mean considerable wa- ter-borne traffic through the intracoastal canal frolm various points on these rivers. Port St. Joe, having excellent deep-water fa- cilities, is the logical outlet for the area cov- ered by these three rivers, and when the project is completed we should see an almost cotinnuous string of tug-pushed barges coming down the canal to tie up here and transfer their cargoes to ocean-going vessels from ai" parts of the world.

He says thli.t under present pro- cedure any revision of the consti- tution must be. approved by three- fifths vote of all members of both house of the legislature, several pub- lications in newspapers In the 67 counties, and ratification by a ma- jority o.f ti,,, voting on each amendment.
