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.

zona, and three brothers, Luke and.
Ralph Taunton of Wewahitchka and

day afternoon in Tallassee, with in-
terment in the family plot. Com-
forter Funeral Home was in charge
of local arrangements.

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.

POLICY CHANGE MADE IN
AID TO CHILDREN GRANTS

With an unprecedented number
of aid to dependent children, appli-
cations continuing to be received,
'the state welfare board has found
it necessary to take immediate ac-
tion changing its policies, so that
every. resource within the family
group be used in order to stay with-
in funds appropriated until the
next session of the legislature, the
Gulf county welfare board, hbas been
advised.
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

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.

The average man has carefully stored in his
memory an assortment of prefabricated ex-
cuses and alibis from which he can quickly
select one to fit almost any exigency which
may arise.

Some women wouldn't mind wearing sack-
cloth if it displayed their curves, but they
wouldn't pour ashes on their permanents.

Time, not men, solves all problems.

Dovell, professor oThistory and

of the state constitution by articles,
is an attempt by tlhe legislature to
simplify the procedure of bringing
Florida's constitution up to date.
He says thli.t under present pro-
cedure any revision of the consti-

fifths vote of all members of both

lications in newspapers In the 67

Corrosion Resisting
Nickel does not rust, and stoutly
resists corrosion by salt water, by
many acids, caustics and other
chemicals. It also stands up under
heat. So nickel, when alloyed with
steel along with chromium or other
alloying elements, helps to make
those metals resistant to heat and
corrosion too.
