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. H. Moody, L. E. Bergeron and T. E.

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." fillillllill lltlll llll til llIllit iI lillllllllllll lllllllll) Biggarts Move To Brooksville .Mr. and Mrs. WV.

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. _______ __/__ _______ Last Rites Held For 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.

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.

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 10 YEARS AGO From the Files of The Star Band Concerts Draw Crowds The-re has been a decided in- crease in attenadnce at the last two band concerts, held Thursday and Sunday. The Thursday evening concert di'ew a nice crowd which -was liberal with its applause. The band was at its best and, introduced several new numbers. These were repeated Sunday, and Director Dan Farmer sprung a surprise by play- ing a couple more new ones. The band was invited to play at Hosford last evening, consequently we had mo concert here, but they will be back at the bdnd stand in the park Su'ndiay evening, New Lumber Firm Named 'The Kenney Lumnber Co., which has been moved from Blountstown to Port St. Joe, will be known in future as the St. Joe Cumlbe.r & Ex- port Co.

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. AFTERMATH OF A FREEZE .\lthuugh typewriters still rate as a scarce item for the average buyer, the federal gov- ernment, according to the house subcommit- tee on treasury and postoffice department ap- propriations, .\ovns 848,567 of the machines. Since there are approximately 235,000 govern- ment employes who use typewriters part or full time in connection with their daily duties, that figures 3.6 typewriters to the person. Hence the subcommittee put the squelch on federal agencies' requests for 900 more in 1948. lhich stirs an errant thought.

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 \,A LONGER SHOE WEAR, -a /o cam /44 Smart man!

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.
