Of Moose Home


Housewarming and First Anniver-
sary Party PHeld By Local
Organization

By AUSTIN HUGGINS
.More than 200 Moose and their
invited guests gathered Thursday
night of last week in the new home
of the local Moose lodge for a house-
warming party and observance of
the first ihnive.rsary of organiza-
tion.
Guests and visiting Moose were
registered and greeted by Governor
G. F. Lawrence and when all had
arrived, Past Governor B. B. Conk-
lin took over as master of cere.-
monies to present an interesting
and hilarious program of events.
Following a sumptuous buffet
supper, the emcee called for volun-
teers for a pie-eating contest, sign-
ing up first himself. Other entries
were Floyd Lister. Rush Chism, C.
W. Milstead, George Harper and
John Blount. Rules were that the
first contestant to eat his pie and
whistle would be declared winner.
Conklin finished first, but was un-
able to pucker, consequently Fl1yd
Lister emerged as the champ. Har-
per, with his droopy mustache, was
the laugh-provoker in the contest.
A bubble. gam blowing contest
for the ladies was won by Mrs. H.
. L. McKinnon.
After the contests, the remainder
of the evening was devoted to danc-
ing and social chatter.
Visiting Moose from Panama Cit
were W. W. Wynn, C. C. Hutto, H.
D. Pennington, Sam CaGudle, W. E.
Alford, Joe. Ray, G. E. Thomason,
William Geddes. G. C. Waller, T.

Another Bawling

Out for Ye Ed

We're only a one-man shop, and
we have one heck of a time just
keeping up with the printing for
the paper- mill, not to mention all
the jobs that come in from busi-
ness concerns of the city, getting
The Star out on time each week
and getting in our share of fish-
ing. But every once in a while
some frustrated zombie hops all
over us because he hasn't seen
his name in print.
Latest is D. B. Lay, who appar-
ently has made a trip to South
America on business for the St.
Joe Paper Company. He told us
about it after it was several
months or more old and asked us
why we didn't have it in The Star.
"You tell of Mrs. John Jones
shopping in Panama City, and of
Mr. and Mrs. Whoozit spending
the week-end in Tallahassee," sez
D. B., "but when I make an air-
plane trip to South America you
don't even say '.boo' about it."
To which we replied: "Well, D.
B., when Mrs. John Jones goes to
Panama City or Mr. and Mrs.
Whoozit spend the weelk-end in
Tallahassee, they come in and
tell me.about it. They like to see
their names in The Star, and I
like to put 'em in. You're not
tongue-tied and we have a tele-
phone that's always working ex-
cept when we fail to pay our bill.
I'd like to put stories like your
trip to S. A. in The Star, and I
know darned' well that our read-
ers would get a, big kick ou&t.of
reading about 'em, because itlisn't
everybody who gets a chance to
go on trips like that, all expenses
paid-you lucky stiff."

Biggarts Move To Brooksville
.Mr. and Mrs. WV. A. Biggart have
moved, to Brooks&ville, where Mr.
Biggeirt will act as principal ofl the
Brooksville school. W. A. left Wed-
n'esday of last 'week, but Mrs. B.
had to stay over until Saturday and
'lo all the packing. "Just like a man
to shove all the work off on his
wife," said Mrs. Biggart.

City Freeholders

Vote Bond Issue


Favorable Balloting Assures Con-
struction of Much-Needed
Municipal Building

With 309 of the city's 499 quali-
fied freeholders going to the polls
Tuesday to pass on the issuance of'
$9)0.00110 in bonds for the construc-
tion ,of a new municipal building,
and 28S of this number voting fa-
vorably. Port St. Joe is assured of
a much-nee.ded new city hall.
Twventy-one voters dlid not favor is-
suing the bonds.
The proposed municipal building
will house city offices, and provide
quarters for the fire department and
a modern jail.
The .bonds will be paid off out of
60 % of funds derived from the. 10%-
utility tax assessed by the city.
It is estimated that it will be at
least four months before ground is
broken for the building, since the
bond issue will have to be cleared
through the. courts and advertised
for sale, after which the architects
will then draw up detailed pr'ans for
the structure and bids will then be
called for from contractors.

Melvin R. Creamer


State's Death Rate From

Syphilis Takes 'Nose Dive'

Florida's death rate from syphilis
has taken a "nose dive'" in the past
few years, in spite of the large num-
ber of cases o-f the disease, accord-
ing to D'r. R. F. Sondag of the Flor-
ida Stat'. Board of Health.
According to a recent nationwide
survey, Florida's' death rate from
syphilis has been reduced' from more
than 36 per 100,000 population in
1933 to 13.1 in 1945.
Also, this "remarkable" improve-
ment in deaths from syphilis is the
greatest of any state., Dr. Sondag
declared, and. Florida no longer
leads ths Southern states in deaths
from the disease.
Dr. Sondag attri-butes this de-
crease to the intensive case-findin'g
and treatment 'program that nas
been carried on in the past 10 years.
"Further intensification of the
general disease control program
and use of the. rapid treatment cen-
ter facilities at Melbourne should
reveal additional improvement in
the health of Florida citizens and
further reduction of death in the
years to come," he said.

Kiwanis Takes

Rotes In Hectic

Game Tuesday
-/
Game Tense Throughout; Tidy Sum
Netted for City Recreation
Program Fund

By JAKE BELIN
The sharp slants. of Hig Stone
and superb fielding by Boib Tapper,
Art Wakefield and "Wash" Tublb
proved too much for a challenging
Rotary nine Tuesday afternoon as
a younger Kiwanis club defeated
the Rotarians 11 to 10. The seven-
inninig ball game was staged at the
city ball park before an overflow
crowd. Proceeds from. the tilt went
for the youth summer playground
program.
Rotary pitcher Bob Bellows and
battery mate Brandt Conklin hela
their own against Kiwanis power
for three innings before retiring in
favor of Stafford Barke and George
Suber. Banker Barke 'was more lib-
eral with base hits than his prede-
cessor, Bob Bellows.
In the fourth fraine the Kiwan-
ians piled up an 8 to 5 lead and
held the. three-run advantage until
the sixth. It was at this point that
Doc Ward escaped stork' duty long
enough to enter Rotary's lineup.
His timely hitting and elusive base
running played, a large' part in put-
ting Rotary on top, 10 to 8, by the,
end of the inning.
Rotary's lead. was short lived,
however, for during the tail end of
the seventh the Kiwanians rallied
as a tiring Rotary nine lost every-
thing in the sun. It hi.vr;eoped that
the Rote w- .'' r -; ,'.,- s s'poti s.'
an elusive ball escaped -to distant
barriers.
The game was tense throughout..
Umpire-baiting and constant har-
assment from the stands were
thrown freely at umpires Doc Mor-
ton, Tom Gibson and Buck Griffin.
At several points the arbiters
threatened to eject bench jockeys
from both dugouts..
Kiwanis infielder Doc Strong and
his first base rival, Red Brown,
turned in fielding exhibitions un-
equalled by any player seen on the
diamond this year.
When final proceeds are turned
in, it is estimated that the gate will
net $175 for the children's program.

Scholars Open

New Caverns


Faculty Scientists Lead
'Cave Dog' Students on
Discovery Tours.

SEWANEE, TENN. There's
bound to be a payoff in biological
and geological discovery when you
place a laboratory over an unex-
plored honeycomb of underground
caverns and turn loose some scien-
tists.
That is happening here at the Uni-
versity of the South, whose campus
sprawls along the top of Cumber-
land plateau, 2,000 feet above sea
level. Its faculty and student body
include some of the most avid
"cave dogs" in the country.
Headed by a professor, groups of
six or more students usually can be
seen trooping down the precipitous
and heavily forested mountainside
to search out a new cave or an old
one they think holds some new dis-
covery.
There are literally scores of lime-
stone caves hereabouts, some of
them extensive. All are far enough
off the beaten track to hold plenty of
interest for veteran speleologists, as
scientific cave-searchers are called.
,One of-the most confirmed "cave
dogs" on this 80-year-old campus is
Dr. Henry T. Kirby-Smith, surgeon
at the'university hospital. He is the
unofficial "spotter" of new caves
and every now and then he learns of
another one from patients who
come into the clinic from _the hills
and coves for miles about.
Looks Them Over.
When he learns of a new cave Dr.
Kirby-Smith plans a trip to see how
good it is. He has logged visits to
between 60 and 70 caves.
A "good" cave, says the physi-
cian, has one or more of the follow-
ing characteristics, in varying de-
gree: It is isolated and known to
few people-never by tourists. It is
at least a half-mile deep. It is tor-
tuous, narrow .in places and has
"crawls"-places where the roof is
not more than two feet high.
There are some "really good"
caves which have places which can
be reached only by swimming
through water pools in the dank
cavern, lighted only by the carbide
lights the cave-searchers carry.
Some have majestic chambers
which can be reached only by swim-
ming under water.
Get a cave of that sort and only
the professionals are interested, but
there are a good many of those here
at Sewanee.
Get New Salamander.
The discoveries which have cre-
eted most excitement in scientific
circles, both here and elsewhere,
were the finding by Dr. Edward
McCrady, head of the biology de-
partment, of cave salamanders,
very rare animals indeed.
A forthcoming issue of the scien-
tific journal Copeia will record his
discovery of the sixth species of
cave salamander yet to be cata-
logued.
An ordinary person, cannot get
-very excited about a plain little
blind salamander With dull white
skin whose ancestors have spent a
million or more years in a cave
without any light from the sun. But
to zoologists they furnish an un-
usual opportunity for the study of
heredity, genetics and certain
phases of the theory of evolution.
If the salamanders can be in-
duced to breed while in captivity-
something they have never done be-
fore-their usefulness for research
can be enhanced even more.
Another recent discovery by Dr.
McCrady and others was the fos-
silized bones of a cat the size of a
tiger which roamed the forests
30,000 years ago. Although the dis-
covery was less important scientifi-
cally than the salamanders, it was
notable because the bones repre-
sented an almost complete skeleton
and drew a visit from the curator of
Smithscnian institution.

Return To Home In Texas
Mr. and Mrs. Eafie Tolbert and
Mr. and Mrs. Johnnie Faulk and son
have returned to their home in Col-
orado City. Texas, after enjoying a
week in Jackson, Miss., and Port St.
Joe visiting relatives and friends.

The man or woman who thinks
be or she knows all the answers

LOOKS LIKE WE'RE A 'DIXIECRAT'
Some months ago, when it became apparent
that Truman, with his civil rights program,
was to become the standard-bearer of the Dern-
ocratic party, we wrote an editorial wheiein
we stated that "We're gonna vote Republican."
Now, however, after studying the Republi-
can platform, we find,. there is absolutely no
difference between Truman's civil rights pro-
posal and the civil rights plank in the Repub
lican platform. Which seems to indicate that
well have to become a Dixiecrat and cast otur
ballot for the Thurmniond-Wright ticket. Of
course, there's Wallace and his third party,
but that, too, is out since it has been announced
that the keynote speech at the Philadelphia

We can't understand why any true South-
erner would want to stick with the Democratic
party after the way the delegates from the
South were kicked and cuffed around at the
recent Denmocratic national convention. What
the South needs is a nex party, and right now
seems a propitious time to organize it.
The so-called civil rights program is a direct
invasion of states' rights and it seems that the
Southern states are the Only ones interested
in preserving that section of the Constitution.
If the civil rights proposal is pushed through,
it will be the entering wedge, and soon other
rights of the individual states will be taken
over or over-ridden by the federal government.

Since there are approximately 235,000 govern-
ment employes who use typewriters part or

Liouid Plant Ftood is

Best for Summer Use


When plant food is applied to the,
,arden during the growing season,
) stimula'... growth and increase the
kifld of flowers or fruits, there is
nuch in favor of applying it as a,
'iquid rather than dry.
For many years experiment sta-
ions ha',. tested this method and
'!,-:d it to Ih-e nr..y adv.:ages.
[t is easier to spread a given amount
uniforIly over the area treated. Less
plant food is required for the same
results. In dry weather, especially,
immediate response by the plant is
favored, and there, is no injury to tho
niant if arplied close to the roots.
SWhile special preparations may be
obtained for dissolving in water, ord-
inary dry plant food can be used.
Dr. V. A. Tiedjens, who has done
much work on this subject gives the
following directions for the amt.t-i;r
who wishes to use dry plant food in.
solution.
For side dressing growing crops, mix
a cupful of plant food to a sOu'rt or
water or a pound (pint) to .. g&lloi.
For row crops pour on. a '.itart of
the mixture to eaAh three teet of row.
For plants' in hills pour a quart
around large plants, uch as tomatoes,
or a pint around peppers, egg plant
and others of that size.
For each hill of corn use a pint
of the solution. Most annual flovwer-
ing plants require only one feeding.
A tomato plant may require three
feedings. Perennial plants should be
side dressed in September.
For shrubbery, use two cups of
plant food in' 12 quarts of water and
wet the ground around. each shrub
with from two to foui quarts. Then
use the Iose to soak the ground
thoroughly.
As a starter solution in transplant-
i:g shrubs, use a cupful of plant


food in 12 quarts of water and pour
half a pailfidl around the roots as
you fill in the soil.
Whenever a plant seems lagging
in growth, liquid plant food may help
revive it. Even vigorously growing
plants will benefit extra feeding.
If you want fine flowers "or exhibi-
tion, or extra size vegetables, an ap-
plication of this type of fertilizer will
get immediate results. It is the mno.
dern version of liquid manure, which
the older garden books all recom-
mend. But chemical plant foods are
much quicker in effect.than the or-
ganics which the old -time gardener
used.

Unlimited Opportunity In
Florida, Says Rex Beach

"In Florida, everything is waiting
to be done, with almost unlimited
opportunity in raising cattle, vege-
tables and flowers..' That's the view
of Rex, Beach, famous author.
Beach, whose stories of the Klon-
d.ike made him wo.rldfamous years
ago and who is still turning out best
sellers, knows the Florida soil from
long experience. At his home at Se-
bring lihe has successfully ploneeret
in the cultivation of lilies, celery
and other flowers and vegetables,
and has for years raised cattle.
With that experience, he's bought
5000 acres in Martin county and
will expand his livestock operations,
firmly convinced, that Florida is the
best place for-it.
"My theory is," lie said, "is that
the cattle business is the. standout
opportunity of the state. When I
go elsewhere in the country. I flnd
that everything has already been
done. Here in Florida. everything is
waiting to be done."
Beach doesn't think 10,000 acres
is needed to raise cattle in Florida.
"Most people," he said, "are. way
over-ibought on land. This state
could feed half the world with a
little proper planning. My plan is to
concentrate as one could collncen-
trate nowhere else I know. Raise

WHAT 6te /MEANS TO YOU


How the New Hudson, America's
most streamlined car with the lgw
silhouette, brings you roominess
and comfort never before obtain-
able in an automobile.
You've seen them flashing by in all their
sparkling color those trim, gorgeous
New Hudsons with the low, streamlined
silhouette.
But have you really examined one of
these amazing cars? They are the big
news in the automobile world today!
Hudson,always known for great forward
steps in the development of the auto-
mobile, and for efficient use of motive
power, is again 'way out ahead with a
motor car that hits a new high in efficient
use of space-that makes a greater per-
centage of its total space actually avail-
able for your use and comfort.
When you take a close look, you'll find
that Hudson, through the use of a new,
exclusive "step-down" zone, reclaims so
much usually wasted space that this
sensationally efficient car gives you more
useful interior room than you've ever
before experienced in an automobile.
This new kind of motor car has a sturdy
foundation structure surrounding the
passenger compartment. which permits
;he floor to be recessed down within the
base frame so that you step down when


entering. This makes space between
frame members, which is usually wasted,
available for use inside the car.
Seats can thus be lowered to harmonize
with the new, lower top, and by stepping
down into Hudson, which is only five
feet from ground to top, you get more
head room than in any other mass-
produced car built today!
And how about seating room? Hudson's
new design reclaims space formerly taken
up by wheel housings and protruding
fenders. This is accomplished by placing
rear seats ahead of the rear wheels, in
a zone unrestricted by wheel housings.
As a result, rear seats are 15 inches wider
in this car that is only little more than
four inches wider over-all. Both rear and
front seats extend the full width of the
body, giving Hudson the roomiest seats
in any American-made car! Hudson's
use of the "step-down" zone and unique
seating arrangements are illustrated in
the sketches that follow:

S .' -.


OTHER CARS-Passengers ride on top of a frame, as
shown above, and (in the rear seat) between rear
wheel housings, which occupy space that should he
a part of seating room. Riding on top of a frame
means that essential head room must be reduced
if the roof is lowered for streamlining.


j-



NEW HUDSON-You ride cradled down within H lud-
son's base frame, as shown above,.and also ahead
of the rear wheels. Seats can tlhrefore extend full
width of the car. Due to the use of the "step-down"
zone, roof is lowered for streamlining, yet ample
head room is provided.

The New Hudson even reclaims the un-
used space in doors by providing gor-
geously tailored, recessed compartments
where interior door handles, window
cranks, ash receivers, and generous arm
rests are placed out of the way to allow
increased elbow room for passengers.

This development of Hudson's exclusive,
all steel Monobilt body-and-frame* with
its "step-down" zone required years of
engineering work, the perfection of new
production techniques and millions of
dollars in highly specialized new plant
investment. This may be why Hudson,
and Hudson alone, offers this important
advance today!
"Stepping down" is so important to
motor-car beauty, riding qualities and
safety-as well as roominess and comfort
-that the nearest Hudson dealer has a
booklet-yours without obligation-fully
explaining this design principle. Hudson
Motor Car Company, Detroit 14.

Acker Believes Action of
Democrats Helped Him
Bert L. Acker of Miami, Repub-
lican candidate for governor 'of
Florida. sid that he thought his
chances for election were helped
by events at the Denmocratic ffa-
tional convention.
He expressed pleasure that the
state delegation voted for Senator
Russell of Georgia rather than for
President Truman.
Asked in an interview whether
he personally endorsed the civil
rights plank ini the Re~pu'blican plat-
form, he said: "Olf course, as a. Re-
publican I must support the plat-
form of my party, but I must admit
I have not carefully studied it. I
believe states' rights are of more
concern today than civil rights and
should receive more consideration.
