I HELP PROMOTE PORT ST. JOE BY JOINING THE JUNIOR I CHAMBER OF I i COMMERCE Jj THE 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, AUGUST 20, 1948 NUMBER 47 Gulf Coast Loop Pennant Series To Open August 29 Wewahitchka Drops Out of League Due To Loss of Players and Slim Purse At a meeting of the board of di- rectors of the Gulf Coast League held here it was decided to end play. next Wednesday. August 25, instead of September 8, in order that playoffs may get underway for the championship cup (which, by the way. has disappeared some- where along the line; it was sup- posed to have been displayed in each city in the loop: hasn't been in St. Joe, as far as we know). It is proposed, in this Shaugh- nessy playoff, to match the first place team against the third place finisher, while the runners-up will meet the fourth place team. First round series would be the best two out of three games, with the two winners meeting in a three-out-of- five series for the championship. The series will open at the park of the highest ranking league team (which will be Apalachicola). Apalachicola will meet either St. Joe or Panama City in the opener (we haven't belin able to find out from the league secretary how the teams stand), and DeFuniak will take on the team that doesn't meet the Oystermen. 'the Wewahitchka 'Gators- have withdrawn from the league for the balance of the season, stating this was due to the fact that they had lost a number of their players and were unable to hire players to re- -place the local boys. The 'Gators' forfeited games shoved DeFuniak up only two and a half games be- hind the top-place Oysterinen. It did not particularly change the standings of St. Joe and Panama City, who are tied for third spot. Blountstown and Tyndall will fight it out for fifth place, while the 'Gators sank to the bottom of the pile with their eight forfeited tilts. First round play in the series will be woer by September 5, with the championship play- beginning on Labor Day. Local Schools Will Open August 30 for Fall Term Principal Brooks Ask Parents To Bring Birth Certificates for First Year Pupils Prof. Marvin Brooks, new princi- ; pal of the Port St. Joe schools, an- nounces that the. fall term will -open on Monday, August 30.

Parents are asked to bring birth certificates for pupils or equivalent .evidence of date of birth. Registration for students from the second grade up will be held Thursday and Friday, August 26 and 27. "Those parents of first graders who have not had their children given physical .examination should consult a physician and have it at- tended to before school begins," said Prof. Rooks. A list of faculty members will be published next week. Vacationing In Georgia Mr. and Mrs. R. F. Maxwell, Jr. and daughters left Tuesday for a two weeks vacation in Bainbridge and points in Georgia. Moose and Kiwanis To Meet in Baseball Game Fledgling Organization Challenges Older Civic Body for Mythical Baseball Crown Since defeating the decrepit Ro tary Club baseball team 11 to 10 a few weeks back. members of the Kiwanis Club 'have been acting rather higlf and mighty. In fact, their conduct has been so snobbish that it has raised the ire of the recently organized Moose lodge. and members of that body have is- sued a challenge to the Kiwanians- for-a benefit ball game to be played next Wednesday afternoon at 4 o'clock in the local ball park. The Moose Marvels are confident of taking the Kiwanis Kardinals to the cleaners. , Manager, Doc Morton of the Marvels says he will have a strong aggregation on the field and "we expect to take the enemy without much effort." On the other hand, Manager Frank Hannon of the Kardinals says: "My outfit will run rings around denm bums." Umpires will be Chief of Police Buck Griffin, Chuck Gibson and Sol Shirey. It is rumored that another civic organization of the city will chal- lenge the winner of this tilt. A pre-game feature will be a foot race between a prominent member of each team. Their names are being withheld to prevent the gambling fraternity from "fixing" the race and cleaning 11p. Gate receipts will go to the Christmas basket funds of the two organizations,- and proceeds from the soft drink concession will go to the city recreation committee. Rev. Tom To Panama City Rev.

Election Laws of Florida Would Be Changed By Bill Proposal Submitted To Legis- lators Patterned After New York Law A bill to change Florida's elec- tion laws-allowing voters to ex- press their specific choices for president-has been proposed by Charles 0. Andrews Jr.. Democratic nominee for representative from Orange county. A copy of the bill, which is patterned after the New York state law, has been sent to .all members of the 1947 legislature for their study and approval. Andrews has asked the legisla- tors to notify Senate President S. b. Clark of Monticello or House Speaker Thomas D. Beasley of De- Funiak Springs before SepteitBer 10 of their opinions of the pro- posal. Governor Caldwell has announced lie will consider calling a special session of the legislature to change the election laws provided a ma- jority of the legislators agreed on one specific bill and would not consider any other measure. The proposed bill provides for the listing of all presidential elec- tors on a separate ballot under the names of their respective candi- dates. It would include electors for the anti-Truman Dixiecrats who have nominated Governor Strom. Thurmond for president, and Henry Wallace's Progressive party. It also would provide a blank column on the ballot for electors of any other candidate. Under present state laws, only electors for the Republican and Democratic parties will appear on the general election ballot in No- vember. The proposal, if enacted into law, would name the electors, designating each to the ticket of his choice. Caldwell, who has received a copy of Andrews' bill, stated that the question of calling a special session was up to the legislators, as well as the manner in which the request was presented to him.. The governor did not say whe- ther a special session would be le- gally called to deal with but one subject, but said he would require such assurance from the legisla- tors. Four of Florida's Democratic candidates for presidential elector have announced they will not vote for Presidnent Truman because of his civil rights program. One has stated he will support the plesi- dent and three have expressed no opinion. I In his letter to the legislators, Andrews said "such a situation places the people of Florida in a position of not having an opportun- ity tinder our present election laws to express their preference except for or against the Republican nom- inee. "The' only remedy for the situa- tion that could give the people this ,right would be a special session of the legislature, which would enact a suitable clarification laviw' said Andrews.

Polio is known to be caused by a filterable virus although its mode of transmission is not defi- nitely known.

Our Country Right or Wrong ALL SOUTHERNERS INSULTED All Southerners, Republicans and Democrats .alike, were properly indignant when they heard their neighbors booed, hissed and in- sulted at the Democratic convention in Phila- delphia. In all the circumstances noboby could blame Southern Democracy for the course it took in holding a convention of its own in Biirmingham. That was the one way in which they could make emphatic their disapproval of the treatment they received from the New Deal wing of the party. The ascendancy of this New Deal wing is no -new thing, however, and the wonder is that .Southern Democrats endured so much for -so long. If any fault is to be found with their ac- tion, it's the belatedness thereof. True, there were mutterings in 1944, but no aggregation could be put together that had courage to act. 'Southerners were mollified when Truman, a .man of supposedly Southern leanings, was *nominated on .the ticket with Roosevelt in 1944. It is apparent now, of course, that Tru- For Daily Bowl Salad Grow These. 7 Crops v a .~ -Si.. ~ 57: 1 man was not the man Southern Democrats thought he was. Democrats down this way, or a major seg- ment of them, are apparently determined that they will be betrayed no longer-and it's about time. It is inconceivable that those who have formed the Jeffersonian Democratic party at Birmingham could be enticed back into the so-called national Democratic fold by election time. Things have gone too far for that. But all must realize that there is no hope of electing the Thurmond-Wright ticket that was nomiinated by the "Dixiecrats." It may well happen that by or before the election a ma- jority of the voters, in some Southern states at least, will see the futility of voting either for 'I'hurmmond and Wright or Truman and Barklev and cast their lots with Dewey and 1Warren.-Dekalb (Ala.) Times. POSSIBILITY OF REPUBLICAN VICTORY The GOP is brash enough to believe that there is a possibility of a Republican victory in North Carolina and possibly Florida. This is based somewhat on changes in the type of pop- ulation iii these states in recent years and by the further knowledge that in the election of 1928, the last GOP victory year, Flor:da and North Carolina delivered to the Republicans, as did Virginia, M-aryland, Tennessee and such border states as Kentucky, Texas and Okla- homa. It is conceded by some of the Democratic leaders that the third party ticket in these Southern states mlay have enough strength to swing the vote away from the Democratic party in states south of the Mason-Dixon Line. This is regardless of what may come out of the Henry Wallace movement, as he and his philosophies are anathema to Southerners.- Longview (Wash.) Daily News. Keep smiling-and buy U S Siving's Bonds.

Clay Lewis Jr.. of this city, taking for his. subject "The Jury System and Suggestions for Improving It," said, that the con- tinued legislative yielding to pres- sure for exemption from jury serv- ice would eventually result in a breakdown of administration of jus- tice in Florida. and urged adoption of the federal commissioner system of filling jury boxes. "Too many groups and classifica- tions of citizens have already been exempted from jury service, and each new session of the legislature brings new pressure and new ex- emptions," lie declared. "If it con- tiltnues, we'll eventually have no one for jury duty but loafers and vag- rants only seeking the $3 daily fee that the state allows." Lewis. the Democratic nominee for judge of the 14th judicial circuit, laiheled a summnnons for jury duty as "a mark of good character" and ser- vice as "g, high honor and responsi- bility of citizenship." He said he preferred the federal jury commissioner system for fill- ing jury boxes because it requires a thorough investigation of all pros- pective veniremen. while county commissioners have been inclined to take the first two or three hun- dr-d names from the registration i'olls for 'the purpose. Value of Legumes Well-fed, deep-rooted legumes have a twofold value. They supply a low cost and abundant source of proteins, minerals and vitamins for livestock. They will rebuild the or- ganic matter supply and break up packed soils. Legumes that have had plenty of phosphorus and pot- ash will push mineralized organic matter down below plow depth, re- storing to good tilth the top 18 to 25 inches of soil. The tap roots will penetrate closely packed soil, aer- ate it and enable crops following in the rotation to send their roots deep- er for plant food and water. The Treasure State Montana is known as the "Treas- ure State." It is richly endowed with raw materials essential to industrial production. Coal reserves have been estimated at more than 400 billion tons.

But ignorance and indifference still account for most of the 50,000 people who are killed by tuberculosis each year. The germ that steel couldn't stop certainly can't be thwarted by a business suit or a mink coat. Modern science and medicine, however, can give you effective chest protection. A chest X-ray is a sure way to detect TB! If you are harboring TB germs, an X-ray can "see" their destructive effects long before you feel sick. If proper treatment is started in the early stages, the cure is compar- atively easy. The later TB is found, the longer, harder, and costlier will be the cure. Remember, too, that TB is con- - "- -- tagious. A person who has TB can spread it to other members of his / family. You can find out whether or not you have TB by having your chest X-rayed.
