Big Gulf Tanker Comes
In With Curtailed Load
Due To Shallow Channel

The SS Guli n eadows, capable of
carrying 135,000 barrels of oil, dis-
charged a cargo of 117,000 barrels
here Thursday of last week. being
unablee to carry a full load due to
the fact.,that she draws 31 fe-et of
water when fully loaded. The chan-
nel here allows boats of only 27 feet
or less draft to enter.
At it w.as, 'the 523-foot 10.000-ton
vessel brought in more than the
Gulfgem, which was tied up at the
pier at the same time, and dwarfed
the Gc.m considerably in size.
It is hoped that with the recently
allocated $37-8.400 'for dredging in
St. Joseph's Bay that we will get a
channel which will allow larger ves-
sels to enter our port.

Freeholders To

Vote On $90,000

City Bond Issue

Tuesday's Balloting Will Require 51
Per Cent Participation of
Property Owners

Freeholders of Port St. Joe will
go. to the polls next Tuesday to ac-
cept or reject a proposal that the
city issue bonds in the amount of
$90,000 to be used for the erection of
a new municipal building at the
corner of Williams Avenue and
Fifth Street, which bonds, will be
paid for over a ,period of 19 years
with revenue derived, from the 10%
utility tax n.ow being levied iby the
city on electric, gas and telephone
services.
Only property owners, will be-al-
lowed, to participate in the forth-
coming election, and at least 51%
of those whose names appear upon
the registration 'books must cast
their ballots in order to make the
project legal. Last year there-were
306 freeholders in the city, and it
is estimated that the number has
increased since that time to about
350. This would necessitate at least
175 or 180 ballots be-ing cast, with a
majority of these 'being required to
carry the issue.
Freeholders are urged to turn out
Tuesday and, vote for the bonds,
since the 10% is. being levied re-
gardless, and the people may as well
have something to show for.these
taxes they are 'paying. And, they
probably will continue to pay this
tax. for as far back as we can reco-
member we've never heard of a .tax
being rescinded once it was slapped
on the poor taxpayer.
Plans for the new building pro-
vide for a fire station, jail and city
hall, with an apartment for'a full-
time. night fireman. With the pur-
cha.se of another fire truck and an
additional 1000 feet of hose, and
having a fireman at the station 2:4
hours a day, property owners prob-
ably would benefitt by a lowered In-
surance rate, which is plenty high
right now in this manis town.
The editor of The. Star believes
that the freeholders of our city will
be doing themselves a great benefit
(and with no additional taxes,) by
putting their okeb on this bond is-
sue next Tuesday.
'The polling place will be the city
hall and the polls will be. open from
7 a. m. to 7 p. m.

DEAR SHOPPERS:
Yes, we. tried to take another va-
cation, but heavy rains plus our
Summer Shoe Clearance broke it
up..So, here we are, on the job and
good as new! Sometimes we almost
give in to Mrs. B. and. use this space
for ready-to-wear flashes on Doris
Dodson, Junior First, Jonathan Lo-
gan, Henry Rosenfeld, L'Aiglon, My-
nette, Justine and June Arden
Dresses. Just about the. time she
has. us convinced "The Tattler" is
no good, and should be replaced by
more action and less words, we get
a. letter from a reader like the fol-
lowing: "The Tattler gats better
and better and I always read it
first."! Up goes our ego and dawn
goes our foot on this space again!
"The Tattler" goes on! "There's
one thing about it," sez I, "nobody
has to read it except Editor Smith,
and he gets paid for .t!" There's a
comeback there that hasn't been
made maybee for polite reasons)
that would go something like this:
"Were it good enough, YOU would
be getting paid!" How well we,
know that! Please. don't mention it.
Right now we're going to jump
into. this JULY CLEAIRiANCE issue
with both feet. It started last week
in the Shoe Departiment. Some cus-
tomers were not prepared for this
"Landslide of Shoe. Values" .
even we were not prepared for the
deluge of shoe buyers! In order that
all of us may more fully prepare
ourselves for this history making
event this Clearance will continue
for several more days! Other ce-
partments have been taken, in, and
you'll see plenty of 'fireworks at
Boyles' this week! When Boyles
sa.y CLDE'ARiANCE ... out she. goes


When we decide to sell an item,
costs and profits are 'forgotten! .
Space for new merchandise must
be had! Customers, it's all in your
favor! Even when it hurts, it gives
us, plain joy to give you a super-
value take. 'em with a smile and
we'll tuake our 'loss with a. grin!
Last week we must have given a
customer a little downward look
when he asked for size 28 pants.
"Don't look so surprised," he said.
"I'm a full grown man just packed
close." Isn't that a wonderful way
to feel about it? We'll look up next
time!
"I would like a pair of those St.
Joe Sandals," said a customer. We
knew immediately it was the one
and only Sell Patt Arch Support
Sandal that everybody's wearing-
women, men, boys and girls. We're
writing the company to change the
name to "St. Joe Sandals," telling
them that St. Joe has adopted this
shoe and, would they please move
their factory here: We can't get
'em fast enough!
We heard that The Star sent a
notice to Bill Jenkins that his sub-
scription had expired. The notice
came bark with the laconic scrawl:
"So's, Bill."
Loyalty sometimes, proves embar-
rassing. A case in point is that or
the wife whose husband was un-
usually latP. who wired, five of his
friends: "Jack not home. Is he
spending the. night with you?" The
unfortunate Jack arrived home
shortly afterwards, and was fol-
lowed by five. telegrams all saying
"Yes."

Our Country Right or Wrong


AN ITEM IN THE NEWS
A short time ago an item appeared in 'the
news which, while it didn't make banner heads,
is an example of the kind of arduous progress
that serves us all.-
Last year, the item said, the death rate from
tuberculosis dropped to a new low throughout
the nation. For the first time in our history
the number of fatalities from this cause was
under 50,000(.
That wasn't the result of chance. It was, in-
stead, the result of decades of hard and often
unrewarding work by doctors and other scien-
tists. A long list of factors had a part in the
achievement-better preventive medicine, in-
finitely improved methods of treatment for the
afflicted, a generally higher standard of liv-
ing, and so on.
Every' major advance in medicine, save for
rare instances where some revolutionary drug
;s discovered, is made much in this way. And
the United States, with its system of medicine,
-unhampered by bureaucratic domination, has
been a leader in conquering disease---a fact
which has been proven in survey after, survey.
By contrast, medicine has generally been back-
ward in the nations where it is controlled by
the state-the standards of treatment have
gone down while the cost, as in the case of all
governmental activity, has gone up.,
We in the United States are leading longer,
healthier lives. Diseases which were almost
sure killers not so many years ago now offer
little danger. A system of voluntary prepaid
-nedical care has been built up which brings
the cost of treatment and hospitalization with-
-in the easy reach of the majority of people.
These are achievements of free medicine which
must not be forgotten.

WALLACE A SADDER BUT WISER MAN
Henry Wallace, third party presidential can-
didate, is nearing the end of his course as a
factor of consequence in the political life of
America. He now realizes that when he ac-
cepted unqualified support of the Communists
that he tied a millstone around his political
neck.
This is the obvious conclusion to be drawn
from a statement he made the other (lay in an
off-the-record talk at Center Sandwich, N. i-.,
which was heard by a newspaper correspon-
dent, who has since checked with and had it
confirmed by a Wallace aide.
In that statement, Mr. Wallace said: "I'm
never going to say anything in the nature of
Redbaiting. But I must say this: If the Com-
munists would run a ticket of their own this
year we might lose 100,000 votes, but we
would gain 3,000,000. 1 know if the Commun-
ists really wanted to help us they would run
their own ticket this year and let us get those
extra votes."
This is the same Wallace that said in Mil-
waukee last December 30, the day after an-
nouncing his candidacy, that he "supposed"
Communists would vote for him "because I'm
sincerely in favor of peace." Jacksonville

BEAUTIFUL SPRING
New Englanders are not like people from
Florida and California. Those braggarts are
forever boasting about how good their weather
is, how the sun always shihes and the tempera-
ture is always moderate, and how the nights
are awlays cool enough for sleeping. What
piffle!
We, in New England, can insist this spring
that we have had the worst weather in the
country. Nobody has had such punk, consist-
ently punk, weather as we have "enjoyed" this
spring. On top of a record snowfall last win-
ter we have added the coldest, wettest and
longest spring on record.
Final figures are not yet in,, but unless there
is a radical change for the better, which no-
body would be so foolish as to expect, the
spring can soon be acclaimed as New Eng-
land's worst, than which there is nothing
worser--and let Florida and California laugh
that off.-Boston Globe.

If by any chance Claude Pepper should be
elected president of the United States we'd all
soon be taking orders from Uncle Joe Stalin.

A bureaucrat is a Democrat who holds an
office that a Republican would like to have.

Parents Urged To Secure
.Birth Certificates Now for
Children Entering School

Parents of children who will en-
-ter school for the first time this
fall are urged by Dr. Wilson T. Sow-
d..r, state health officer, to secure
birth certificates for them now.
He pointed out that most schools
.require children to present their
birth certificates before being ad-
mitted to school. This usually re-
sults in a last-minute rush to secure.
such certification from the state
board of health's bureau of vital sta-
tistics and a subsequent delay in
receiving the certificates.
Persons d'esiringsuch certificates
should. send the. Bureau of Vital
Statistics, Box 210, Jacksonville, the
fame of the child, date and place
of birth, father's name, mother's
maiden name, along with the statu-
tory fee of' 50 cents. Application
blanks and further information may
be secured from the. local health de-
partment.

Drier Refrigerating Fluid
Studies with the infra-red spec-
trometer to produce a drier refrig-
erating fluid will end -in an electrical
refrigerator that will run without
attention for 10 years, du Pont
chemists predict. If only 10 parts
per million of water get into the
freon used in many refrigerators,
trouble may be caused. By use of
the infra-red spectrometic meth-
od the trouble can be corrected in
five minutes.

Home of Fir Plywood
Douglas fir, from which plywood
Is made and which grows only on
the western slope of the Cascade*
mountains, is one of the two strong-
est structural woods known and the
world's most valuable commercial
tree. It is easily cut or fit with ordi-
nary carpentry tools and can be
painted or finished the same as
other wood.

Trees Compete for Life
At the age of 20 years, the average
fully stocked Douglas fir acre has
1,460 trees on it. At the age of 100
years, the number of trees is 184.
Most of the lost 1,276 trees were
starved out. The most vigorous
trees outgrew and overtopped them,
taking all the direct sunlight that
Douglas fir requires. There also is
competition for water in the soil.
