HELP PROMOTE PORT ST. JOE BY JOINING THE JUNIOR CHAMBER OF COMMERCE 4 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, SEPTEMBER 17, 1948 NUMBER 51 Sharks To Meet Bainbridge Here In First Grid Tilt Boys Working Hard for Start- ing Positions With Com- petition Keen The St. Joe Sharks open the 1948 football 'season here next Friday night at 8 o'clock by meeting the Bainbridge, Ga., high school team. The Bainbridgeites defeated the lo- cal lads 8-0 last year. Daily practice sessions find can- didates for this year's team work- ing hard for starting assignments. ,and Coach Marion Craig is placing much emphasis on blocking, timing and ball-handling as it applies to the Sharks' "T" attack. Buster Owens, all conference back, is expected to spark the St. Joe offensive. He will handle the kicking and add variety to the of- fense by passing from his left half position. Bill Davis is catching on to the intricate maneuvers required of a "T" formation quarterback, 'and Charles Whitehead and Bill Fleming will add power and finesse to the backfield. Bobby Gibson and Tommy Simpson will see much re- serve action. Gene Chism and Ray Lawrence, are leading candidates for the end positions, with Paul Ramsey and Bowman Price making strong bids for these spots. ,." 'Henry Collier, S'.;'f" -'.- s. Loyd Tubb and "Tank' McFarland are hefty and willing tackle candidates, but inexperience is the thing this fouresome must overcome, says Coach Craig. Collier and McFarland are leading the others for starting berths. J. B. O'Brien and Ted Beard Continued on page 8) " Penalties For Those Failing To Register Up To $10,000 Fine and Five Years In Hoosegow If Caught Evading Seems that the number of regis- trants for the draft in this area is not coming up to expectations, and those young men between 18 and 26 in Port St. Joe and vicinity who have failed to register as pre- scribed under the selective service act are reminded of the penalties provided for such failure. 'Section 12 (a) of the act provides for penalties up to $10,000 fine and five' years imprisonment if con- victed of evading or refusing to register for selective service. Those who' have failed to regis- ter are urged to hie themselves to the city hall and register before tomorrow, for after tomorrow the local registration place will be closed and all registrations will be performed at the local board office, which is located in Apalachicola. Some veterans and reservists are under the impression that they are not required to register, but this is erroneous, as they must register if they come within the age limits prescribed, except reservists who are now on active federal duty. The selective service act also provides that persons registered must keep with them at all times the registration certificate issued to them at the time of registration. Failure to produce the certificate when called upon to do so by per- sons authorized under the act, makes the registrant subject to the penalties imposed by the law. Air Markers Placed In Port St. Joe and Wewa Fifty Markers In West Florida Be- ing Laid Out for Air Navigation The state improvement commis- sion is replacing air markers that were removed at the outbreak of World War II. and has scheduled 50 in Northwest Florida, including Port St. Joe and Wewahitchka. The St. Joe marker, which was painted Monday on the roof of the T. H. Stone building adoining The Star office, is 75 by 90 feet and has letters 10 feet high. An arrow points to the local airport and the latitude and longitude is given. The marker at Wewahitchka, on .the roof of the lona Theater, is 90 by 40 feet, with the latitude and longitude and an arrow pointing SSW to the Port St. Joe field. MRS. MARTHA.MILLER PASSES AWAY FRIDAY Mrs. Martha Wistley Miller, 86, of Millville. died last Friday night at the home of her son, Dewey, in Apalachicola. Services were held Saturday in Millville with inter- ment in the Millville cemetery. She is survived by four daugh- ters and two sons, including Mrs. Hattie Richards and Mack Miller of this city. S---------4- Attending Virginia Intermont Miss Maxie Brown left Sunday for Bristol, Va., where she entered Virginia Intermont College as a freshman. She was accompanied by her roommate, Miss Eloise Cole- man of Santa Ana, Calif.. who met Miss Brown here for the final leg of her trip from the west coast. Plan Recreation Night The women of St. James Epis- copal Church are planning for a ju- nior high recreation night next Fri- day evening from 8 to 10 o'clock at the parish house. (Ed Note: Under this heading, for the benefit of readers of The Star, will be given an unbiased digest of the eleven constitu- tional amendments to be voted on in the November election.) NO. 1 GASOLINE TAX This resolution proposes the ad- dition of new Section 17 to Article 9 of the Florida constitution, un- der which, if adopted, all excise taxes on gasoline or other like ,en- gine fuel collected and retained by the state shall be used exclusively for construction and maintenance of highways, streets and bridges, airports and rights of way, or the payment of indebtedness upon such roads ,streets, bridges and airports. It would allocate the use of four- cents of the state gasoline tax to the stat -road department for state road purposes. It would direct the distribution of the proceeds of a fifth cent (about $6,000,000 a year) so that 80% of the proceeds from this one cent remaining to the credit of a county after road and bridge debt requirements are met would be spent by the state road department on state roads within that county as the county commis- sioners may direct. The remaining 20% will be spent by the county commissioners for road and bridge purposes. Road users argue that,the state Legislators Put All Candidates On Florida's Bal!ot Wallace's Progressive Party Is Conceded An Equal Place With States' Righters Representative George Tapper, who participated in the special ses-, sion of the legislature to pass some sort of measure to clear up Flor- ida's muddled November general election problem, informed us yes- terday morning that. after a nunm- ber of amendments to keep the Progressive party off the ballot had been voted down, the house finally passed 84 to 3 the senate- approved measure which gave Wal- lace's party equal place on the bal- lot with the Thurmond States' Rights party. The house defeated by a vote of 51 to 36 an amendment to declare the Progressive party communistic and outlaw it in Florida, and also rejected, by a vote of 76 to 10, a move to kill the bill outright and leave the law standing as it is. The senate Tuesday passed, 33-1, a bill adding Thurmond's and Wal- lace's names to the ballot shortly after approving an amendment 25-9 which gave the Wallace party equal place on the ballot with the States' Right party. The house, on the other hand, sent a whole stack of amendments to the clerk's desk which would do" everything from putting a whole new bill under the title to making minor technical revisions in the senate version. Under the bill, a voter may cast a direct ballot for Dewey, Truman, Thurmond or Wallace and all elec- tors listed under their names by placing an X in a circle at the top of the ballot, or vote for each elec- tor individually. has 45,000 miles of state roads and can only maintain 8000 mile, while practically no money is available for building secondary roads. Opponents of this amendment fear that the removal of the pro- ceeds of the one cent, what they now call the seventh cent of gas tax, will deplete the general fund of the state to the point where it cannot meet county school commit- ments of $42,000,000 a year. County commissioners and high- way users generally endorse the measure; the Florida Education Association opposes it. NO. 2 SCHOOL BONDS This resolution would change Section 17 of Article 12 to permit the legislature to provide for the issuance of county school bonds instead of special tax school dis- trict bonds. The last legislature consolidated the powers of all trus- tee districts into one countywide board of trustees. The proposed amendment would require a majority of the qualified freeholders (property owners) to approve any school bond issue, and would limit the total bond debt for schools to 15% instead of 20%. It would make such bonds payable in 25 years instead of 30 years. It also adds a sub-section which pro- (Continued on page 2) Largest Enrollment Ever In Local School Increase Necessitates Addition of Two Extra Teachers To Faculty Principal Marvin Rooks stated yesterday that the present count for the St. Joe'elementary and high schools is 823, the largest enroll- ment on record. Because of this increased enroll- ment, said Prof. Rooks, it has be- come necessary to add two more teachers to the faculty, Miss Ann Fulton and Miss Janet Whitaker having been secured to teach addi- tional grade groups in the second and fourth grades, respectively. Rooks also states that Miss Sara Jane Griffin has been appointed to take the place of Miss Bertha Drexel in the first grade. ----- <-- BETTER GET YOUR DRIVERS' LICENSE AND AVOID RUSH George Tapper, who issues state drivers' licenses in St. Joe, reports that but a small number have se- cured them to date, and urges all motorists to get 'em right away, if not sooner, in order to avoid the usual last-minute rush. 4' His office will remain open until 6:30 Tuesday and Thursday of next week and Saturday afternoons un- til 5 for the benefit of those who do not get off work until late. Get Bass-Lose 'Em Carl Armstrong and Denver Mil- ler seem to be the original Hard ,Luck Kids. They were returning from Lake Winiico Tuesday with a choice string of bass (naturally they were all whoppers) when they ran out of gas almost at the White City bridge. Denver dunked the string of bass over the side while the' gas was being put into the mo- tor, and when the motor started up the propeller cut the fish string and the bass were nonescomatibus. Denver and Carl claim that Henry Gqddie can attest to the size of the fish, if you need confirmation. Enters U. of F. As Frosh Tom Owens Jr.; left Tuesday for Gainesville where he will enter the University of Florida as a fresh- man. He has been appointed band assistant for the coming term by Dr. Beecher, head of the music di- vision of the university. Visit Over Week-end Mrs. W. J. Daughtry and Mrs. E. C. Cason spent last Friday in Pan- ama City and were accompanied home for the week-end by the lat- ter's daughter, Mrs. W. T. Goodson and daughter Althea Rhea. Returns To Chattahoochee Mrs. J. E. Gilchrist returned to her home in Chattahoochee Wed- nesday after a visit of several days here with Mrs". J. 0. Baggett, Mrs. George Johnson and other friends. Guests From Fort Walton Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Forehand had as their guests last week-end the latter's sister and husband, Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Pryor of Fort Walton. They returned home Tuesday. Vacationing In Tennessee Mr. and Mrs. J. L.

B. Ferrell. Mr. Goodson is Mrs. Ferrell's brother. Freeholders Again Vote Favorably On City Building Bonds Approve By 283 To 11 Bond Is- sue for Construction of Municipal Building For the second time, freeholders of Port St. Joe went to the polls Tuesday and passed favorably upon the issuance of $90,000 in munici- pal bonds for the construction of a new city hall, jail and firehouse. The vote was 283 in favor of the bonds and 11 opposed to their is- suance. Of the 495 voters qualified to cast ballots, 297 turned out to more than make the necessary 50 per cent required to make the elec- tion legal. Three of the ballots were thrown out. Poll keepers were B. H. Smith, Mrs. J. L. Temple, Mrs. W. T. Mos- ley and Mrs. W. M. Howell. The bond issue had been voted upon favorably at an election held July 13, but due to the fact that the election was called but 30 days after passage of the resolution by the city commission, whereas the law specifics that 60 days must pass after passage of such a reso- lution before an election can be held, it was necessary to again put the proposition to the voters. The new municipal building, to be of modernistic construction, will be located at the corner of Fifth Street and Williams" Avenue. It :will be some time before ac- tual construction starts, since the bond issue will have to be cleared through the courts and advertised, after which the architects will then draw final plans and bids called for from contractors. Fish Fry To Raise Funds For Parish House Roof Layman's League Invites Public To Put On Nosebag Next Thursday The Layman's League of St.y James Episcopal Church is plan- ning a huge fish fry next Thurs- day evening, September 23, from 6 to 8 o'clock on the church lawn at Sixth Street.

Purpose of the fish fry is to raise sufficient funds to put a sadly- needed roof on the parish house, which has had a temporary roof since its construction. J. E. Rollins is in charge of ar- rangements and will be ably as- 'sisted by all men of the parish. The public is cordially invited to come, bring their families, friends and stray guests.

In the first game of the series, the Eagles won 6-1, and they also took the second game 7-0. But Ap- alachicola bounced back to take the third and fourth tilts and tie up the series at 2-2. In Saturday's game, Hendels set the Eagle batters down with three bingles while his mates were col- lecting seven off Weaver, who toed the rubber for the losers. The first (and winning) run came in the third inning on Grafimas' single, a walk to Jim Grantham and a hit by Buchannon. Up to this point Weaver had held the Oyster- men hitless. The other three runs came in the last of the. seventh. Apalachicola led the league by a wide margin at the end of the reg- ular season, dropping but one con- test (to the Blountstown Bucca- neers) and winning 26. DeFuniak, runnerup in the loop, gave the Ap- alachicolans a bad scare in the final round, since they had knocked off the favored Oystermen two straight and needed only one more to cinch the cup. Apalachicola and DeFuniak ad- vanced to the final round of the playoffs by defeating the Port St. Joe Saints and the Panama City Spartans two straight each, the Ap- alach nine copping from the Spar- tans and the Eagles taking the. Saints into camp. The value of advertising depends upon the people who r.sad the ad- vertising--they can't read it it they don't see it.

Our Country Right or Wrong IF PRICE CONTROL CAME BACK Every argument in favor of price control falls flat when it comes up against this fact: You can't make a man produce at a loss, or sell goods for less than it costs him to buy and handle them. Most price control schemes call for rolling all prices' back to the level of some specific period -last year, for instance. Yet, since that time, we have had another round of wage increases, with more pending right now. We have had continu- ance of gigantic spending by the government, which is one of the surest of all ways to keep in- flation going. We have had a tax reduction, which means that there is more money available to compete for goods. If price control were to go into effect tomor- row, what would happen? The manufacturers of most commodities make a profit of around 6 per cent, so if they earned nothing at all the cut in prices would be too small to be noticed. The retailers from whom you buy, like Boyles De- partment Store, Young's Food Store, the St. Joe Hardware, Brooks Sporting Goods, etc., -earn, as profit, two to five cents out of each dollar you spend with them. All the rest goes for stock, pay--~ rolls, rent, taxes, and so on. So, if they worked for the love of the game alone, your budget would be cut very little. The worker certainly isn't going to take a pay cut in order to bring prices down. As a consequence, we would have fewer goods and goods of poorer quality-and more arid more items would be siphoned off into the black market where the price charged is every penny the buyer will cough up., Without price control, manufacturers and re- tailers are competiting for the public's business, and no one can peg prices. They find their own level; And that level, whether it be high or low, is determined by the times. The life story of Harry S. Truman, as pub- lished by the national Democratic committee, contains the following: "After the failure of his haberdashery venture, Harry S. Truman was elected to a county judgeship. Judge Trumnan earned a salary of $6300 a year during his eight years as presiding judge. Jackson county people say with respect, 'Harry Truman came out of county, office poorer than he went in'." If High Handed Harry was bankrupt when he went into office and came out poorer than when he went in, he was in almost as big a hole as he's in now. When the yellow of eggs mixed with the red in his speech, it made a lot of Wallace's black and white followers,,mighty blue. Somebody has said that what this country needs is two living ex-presidents. If Hoover don't die in the next few months it looks like we're going to have 'em. 10 YEARS AGO From the Files of The Star Bid Made for Quick-Freeze Plant With endorsement by the state cabinet for an application to PWA for a loan and grant to finance a YOUTH'S BRAVE NEW WORLD? We notice, in looking at still and moving pic- tures of rallies for Henry Wallace, that the ma- jority of those in attendance are young people. Every radical movement, whether it be Com- munist or some milder form of red, goes all out in attempting to enlist young people. Old ideas of government, economics and practically every- thing else, the argument runs, are outmoded and ridiculous. Tradition is meaningless. So it is up to youth to bring a brave new world into being by setting up some kind of system in which everything will be done for everybody, and a handful of government officials with unlimited powers will make all the decisions. It cannot be denied that the efforts to line up youth in causes which are essentially totalitarian in naure has met with considerable success. Speakers whose idea of progress is to destroy everything that has gone before, commonly find their most enthusiastic audiences on university campuses. And political organizations like Wal- lace's so-called Progressives make no secret of the fact that they expect to find a fertile field for proselytizing among the young. Thts is the result of a grave defect in the Am- erican educational system-a defect which may eventually be fatal to freedom if it goes uncor- rected long enough. Some of the standard text- books used in our leading colleges couldn't serve the cause of Communism or Socialism better if they had been written by Karl Marx in person. By direction and indirection they make it appear that the economic system we call capitalism ex- ists primarily to permit the few to exploit the many and that the only solution is to let the gov- ernment run the whole works. This is the doctrine that produced communism in Russia, naziism in Germany, fascism in Italy, and has been responsible for more misery, more oppression, and more human slavery than any- thing thought up since the days of Attila the Hun. It is a provable fact that capitalism-which simply means the right to own property and to use it in any legal way-is the only economic system which can exist along with representative .government. And there shouldn't be any mys- tery as to why that is so, If we are to have eco- nomic dictatorship, we must have/ political and social dictatorship to make it work. If it weren't for our system, you wouldn't be reading this edi- torial in The Star, for articles of this type would be banned, and Ye Ed probably taken out and shot if he did dare print it. It is about time we taught a few fundamental truths to young and old alike. Among them is the fact that capitalism has given more people infinitely more material gains than any other system yet devised. It has given us liberty and human dignity. Its benefits are share by the many instead of the few. And, so far as youth is concerned, it offers an unlimited opportunity for service and achievement. That, regardless of what the textbooks and the rabble rousers may say, is the truth. In Philadelphia the Democrats reserved their cheering and homage for Franklin D. Roosevelt. At Birmingham, the Dixiecrats gave their ap- plause and homage to Robert E. Lee. Nothing like living in the past/,especially when you have no future.-Sycamore (Ohio) Leader. President Truman went on a deep sea cruise to plan his political campaign. That's a case of a fellow doing some shallow thinking over deep water from what we've seen of his campaign so far. Nowadays a fellow never asks a girl if he is the first one she ever kissed. He knows better. -series of quick-freeing and storage plants around the coast for Flor- ida's salt water fishing industry, the Port St. Joe Chamber of Com- merce, at its last meeting, instruct- ed the secretary to get in touch With proper authorities and request that one of the units be located at Port St. Joe.

Dairy Industry of State Has Reached Major Proportions Approximately 1000 Dairymen Are Now Milking About 151,000 Cows The dairying industry in Florida is fast coming into its own, accord- ing to John M. Scott, chief dairy supervisor at Gainesville. "Since the 'Milk and Milk Products Law' went into effect in October 1929, the dairy cow population has more than doubled," said Scott. "During the coming fall and winter there will be milked more than 151,000 cows in Florida." Today Florida has approximately 1000 dairymen who are milking cows and selling milk for a liveli- hood, and more farmers, especially in north and west Florida, are turning to dairying in addition to their other products. Between 70 and 72 million gallons of milk were produced in this state during 1947. Turning this production into dol- lars and cents, it represents a total value of more than $35,000,000 which has come into the pockets of Florida dairymen. With dairymen, milk plant op- erators and ice cream manufac- turers giving steady employment to more than 10,000 perons, the dairy- ing industry of Florida has reached major proportions. Thousands of dollars have been spent in recent years for new milk plants; dairy barns and other equipment neces- sary to the operations of dairies which come up to the Florida stan- dard in sanitation and other re- quirements. In 1947 the state of Florida im- ported 1,422,07 gallons of milk and in the same year 2,086,326 gallons of cream and 2,005,922 pounds of cottage cheese were shipped into Florida from other states. The ice cream business of the state is also growing. During the year 1947 and through June 30, 1948, 90 wholesale ice cream manu- facturers and 303 retail manufac- turers were issued permits by the department of agriculture. These manufacturers produce from 12 to 15 million gallons of ice cream and kindred novelties during each year. This fast expanding industry is practically in its infancy, and each year importations of milk, craam and cottage cheese are being re- duced, as more farmers are realiz- ing the potentialities and the profit derived from this industry. Cheese Retains Value The vitamin A value of cheese corresponds to that of the milk from Which it is made, with the cheese retaining a very high proportion of the vitamins present in the milk. The vitamin A content of cheese does not appear to vary significantly during ripening and storage. Let our expert Ford Truck mechanics keep your truck in condition to do, your work on schedule.
