But One Contest In City Election Sept. 7 'Bob Shaw Will Seek To Unseat I. C. Nedley; Shirey Unopposed With date for qualification end- ing Monday, but one contest has developed in the city election scheduled for September 7 in which voters of the city are to name two city commissioners for two-year terms. Commissioners whose terms expire are I. C. Nedly and Sol Shirey. Shirey is unopposed, and as far back as the city minutes go, this is the first time on record that a can- didate for member of the city com- mission has not been opposed. "I think this sets some kind of a rec- ord," said Commissioner Shirey. Nedley, who is also seeking re- election to the board, will be op- posed by Robert Shaw, whose an- nouncement appears elsewhere in this issue. Qualified voters whose names do not appear on the city registration books are warned .that if they de- sire to cast their ballot in the city election they'd better get the lead out of their pants and go down to the city hall and register, for the books will close tomorrow.

He chatted pleasantly while the gas was going in and even asked us if we had been to church. He cleaned our windshield, swept the car out( can you imagine that!) and wanted to know what the preacher said (can you imagine that?). This is not a plug for Shell products, but the ex- perience was such an unusual one we believe it is deserving of men- tion. It is good to have new busi- nessmeri in our community who are interested in the church. It would be well that our conversa- tions would include the church more. America is known as a Chris- tian nation, and many of the preachers, statesmen and great men in our country today are tell- ing us that our survival and hope for world peace is in the church of the living God. Does it not be- hoove us to rally to the cause of the church? Does it not behoove the people of a Christian nation to do some thinking, talking and act- ing like Christians outside of the church as well as inside? Maybe w(; do maybe we can do mpre It will do no harm. Mothers, fathers, boys and girls are now thinking about "Back To School Days" even Boyles Department Store is thinking about the same thing. Now -Taybe we can get together on this prob- lem and work it out to the satis- faction of all concerned. We sug- gest that you read carefully the suggestions offered in our adver- tisement this week. When you "Pay Cash" at Boyles there's no hereaf- ter (in this life!) Just check our "Cash Prices" ....- reach down- in your pocket and get it overwith! Why worry about it for months? You'll get plenty of "Please remits" from those sons and daughters without having them coming thru the mail every month. You'll save dollars and worries to "Pay Cash at Boyles." Here you'll find school clothes that'll be graded A plus . .clothes that can "take it" from top to bottom, sideways and crossways.

Our Country Right or Wrong SCHOOL OPENS Opening of schools in Port St. Joe next Mon- day signalizes the casual manner in which we take too much for granted one of the greatest institutions of democracy. We regard education much as we do air and water-necessities of life that are secured without effort. We forget the struggle of humanity that brought the blessings of free education, nor are we mindful of the tribulations of the public school systems which were established at great sacrifice and have been continued on a high level of excellence only because of the conse- cration and vision of a few. Have modern education facilities, which have enabled students to learn in more agreeable sur- roundings, made knowledge easier to acquire and, therefore, of less value? The words of the old philosopher to the youth who tired of his books are still good advice: "There is no royal road to learning." To the students who begin school for another fall term in Port St. Joe may go the advice that if finer teachers and more modern facilities in our school plant have eliminated some of thie hardships of education, the taskmasters in later life are probably more exacting and more nu- merous. Life today is more complicated than it was 50 years ago. The requirements imposed on per- sons coming out of educational institutions are greater; adjustments and adaptations are com- plex; competition is keener because all fields are crowded. It is true that there is always room for one more at the top, but the top is farther removed from the bottom rung of the ladder to- The Low Down from Willis Swamp Editor The Star: Yuh, know, our, hired hands up their on" the wide and wanderin' Po- tomac keep a-talkin' high prices and how hevifig and earth must be moved to lower same. And all this goes on jist as though these same gents had no finger in the pie of bringing' on this her dillimma. They is sure queer chaps. They bin chief cooks up there fur years have helped most in foozlin' the soup. And now, 'stead of doin' whut they ought to do- cum rite out and admit their error or gilt, or whatever you wanta call it-they point elsewhere. Whut should they do, sez Henry. Let 'em perform a operation, I sez. Our ailmint is "economic gout," brot on by too dern much govamint in our diet. A millyun more folks than ever before needed to run the guvamint in piece times, is now in- terferin' with our digestion-we're clear offen our feed. By eliminating' an excess load of one millyun frum offen our back, we kin shave about 6000 millyun bucks per year offen taxes. Six thousand millyun bucks offen our bent back, per year. should sure oughta help everybody's budget and tranquility and 'it sounds like a powerful sensiole, horse-cents procedure. All right, then, sez Henry, iffen day than it was fifty years ago. . Preparation' for Old Man Opportunity, who is said to knock but once, constitutes the very es- sence of education. It is not to be expected that all students will go about their school work with the utmost seriousness, but a little earnestness and attention to their studies will stand them in good stead when that golden moment arrives. Education is not to be taken too lightheart- edly, even though the American tradition does make it as free as the air. A WEAKENED MEMBER Uncle Sam's four vital defense services-the army, navy, air force and merchant marine-are as indispensable to one another as they are to the nation. To weaken one is to weaken all. Today the American merchant marine, only one of the four which has a constructive, com- mercial service to perform during peacetime, has, perhaps for that very reason, been seriously weakened. Over 1000 American war-built ships have been sold to foreign operators. Another 1700 are pres- ently laid up in national defense reserve fleets. Only approximately 1800 are in service, of which 1100 are privately-owned. Impelling reasons demand that the federal government assure the privately-owned-and-op- rated American merchant marine a favorable climate of operations. They are: (1) direct serv- ices by American steamships on each of our 30- odd essential world trade routes are necessary to a prosperous foreign trade and balanced na- tional economy; (2) a large and active merchant fleet provides trained seamen. and officers for naval service and insures a healthy shipbuilding industry vital in case of emergency; and (3) a modern merchant marine in being must always be available as a "fleet train" and transport serv- ice in the event of another war. Unlike in the past, when a large portion was in domestic trades, the American merchant' ma- rine is today largely in foreign service where it is forced to compete with low-wage low-cost foreign operations. American efficiency can counterbalance only so much of this operating handicap. Failure of congress to enact legisla- tion that would encourage new construction, par- ticularly passenger liners, has already substan- tially reduced the strength \of this, our fourth arm of national security. Adequate steps must be taken to restore the merchant marine to its proper place.

We can throw 'em over one shoul- der, bring 'em up between our legs and take a half-hitch around our necks, they're that long. We don't know who established the length for bath towels, but as far as we're concerned, they make 'em about eight inches too short. Fine for "guest" towels, but of no prac- tical use whatsoever. Probably the reason so many people' swipe towels from hotels-they're gener- ally larger than the regular house- hold variety. Probably hotels could practically eliminate the theft of bath towels if they'd make 'emn about six inches shorter. We were talking to Grady Man- asco the other day and said: "We are surprised that you permit your wife go around telling the neigh- bors that she made a man of you. You don't hear our wife saying that." To which Grady re- plied: 'No, but she told my wife that she had done her best." . 'And we slunk away with our tail between our crutches. We don't like to see a man like the Rev. Tom Byrne leave our community, but his taking over the St. Andrews. parish is a step up- ward for him, and we can truth- fully say that 'our loss is indeed St. Andrews' gain, for Rev. Tom is a man among -men. We re- call a small incident that occurred when Rev. Tom first came to St. Joe and before we became accus- topmed to the fact that hie was of the cloth. He dropped in at The Star office one afternoon on busi- ness and for a friendly talk. Dur- ing the course of the, conversation we dropped a "damn" and then ap- ologized to Tom.

Now, about this statement you sent me. I notice that it pays to be able to subscribe for at least six months, and I am sincerely thank- ful that I was not forced to take your three-month rate of $127.15. I will be down to see you people pretty soon, at which time I will bring you some cotton to trade for some fish. I sincerely hope that you take this $2 and spend it wisely. The reason I am so anxious for you to get the most good out of it is due to the fact that it is unusually hard to make as much as $2 at any one time due to the fact that our cotton, '6i:, and peanuts are only bringing hree times what they are worth, Sincerely, C.

All- business houses of this city were closed from 11 to 3 in order to allow employes to attend the dedi- cation and fish fry which followed, although the majority of these said that they failed to get any fish due to the fact that they had to be back at work by 3 o'clock and that the speeches were going on almost up to that time. Music for the affair was provided by the Port St. Joe high school band. Justice Buford, in his speech, traced transportation from the time of King Solomon to the present day. He said that State Road 71. on which the new bridge is located, was built on the roadbed of the old St. Joseph & Iola Railroad, the first railroad built in Florida and the second in the United States. He devoted much of his speech to life in this area fifty years ago when he was a boy and also paid tribute, to Bayless' administration as chair- man of the -state road department. Governor Caldwell said he appre- ciated "the tribute you people are paying to my friend Elgin," and added that "I think he has been eminently fitted as chairman of the department." He also said that "the department has tried to do a fair job for every county in the state." Bob Sikes said that the bridge "marks a forward step for Gulf county and indicates continued pro- gress in Northwest Florida." George Tapper, who assisted in arranging for the celebration, de- clared he believed "the bridge means more to the people of this county than anything else since the county was created in 1925." Elgin Bayless, after whom the bridge is named, a former resident of Port St. Joe, thanked .his friends in Gulf county for suggesting that the bridge receive his name. and said he construed their action "as an expression of the confidence yoa have in the state road department." He briefly outlined some of the out- standing projects during the four years he has been chairman, and said the bridge "is typical of what the department has been doing throughout Florida, and I hope the bridge will prove of great value and benefit to the people of West Florida for many years to come." The new bridge, which replaced an old "floating bridge", was begun December 4, 1945, and was opened to traffic in September of 1947. It was officially completed early this month with installation of auto- matic electrical equipment. HEALTH SURVEY (Continued [rom page 1) unit,Atendered thanks to those who helped make the drive a success. The total of 2,201 X-rays gives Gulf county, with its population of approximately 7,500, one of the best proportionate records in this section of Florida. Holmes county, with 14,000 population, had 1,776 chest X-rays; Washington county, with about 12,000 population, had 2,350; Jackson county, with 36,000 population had about 5000 X-rays. Local health officials, in com- menting on the success of the sur- vey, also expressed appreciation to pastors, group leaders, workers and The Star for assistanceein making the drive a success.

Majority of House Members-In Favor Of Special Session Join With Senators In Asking Governor Caldwell To Issue Call Sentiment for a special session of the legislature to revise Flor- ida's election laws grew stronger this week as 37 members of the house of representatives joined 20 senators in favoring the session. Governor Caldwell has announced he will consider calling a special session provided the lawmakers agree in advance on a specific measure and not consider any other subject. Speaker Tom Beasley states that he has received 40 replies from members of the 1947 house, and all but three favor the special session. "It looks like we will have it," he said. Twenty senators have signed a petition being circulated by Sena- tor Henry Baynard of St. Peters- burg in which they agree not to consider any other measure if the governor will call the legislature into special session.
