Education Group

Asks Defeat of

Amendments 1-2

y ,Measures Would Cripple
School Organization
of Florida

"The Coordinating Committee," an
education group made up of mem-.
beis of all Florida school organiza-
ions, is calling upon the people of
Florida to vote against constitu-
tional amendments 1 and 2 in the
November general election.
SThe committee said Amendment
No.. 1,the so-called "gas tax amend-
ment," would "take from schools
and the state's general revenue
fund (on which the schools de-
pend) the nearly $7,000,000 annu-
Ally now being collected from the
seventi cent of gasoline tax."
"The present school program
cannot operate and schools will
have to begin all over again some
kind of statewide, heroic effort to
ask for a ripe, form of revenue" if
the amendment is not defeated, the
committee reported.
.Amendment No. 2 also came in
i or a lashing by the school com-
mrltee. "In order to overcome the

Fishermen Warned To

Stay Out of Fla. River

Liberty Countians Post Signs For
Benefit of Gulf Residents

According to a story appearing
in '.The Gulf County Breeze last
week, residents of Liberty county
-inuat have some kind of a peeve
against. fishermen from this county.
Says The Breeze:'
, ."Messrs. L. W. Owens and For-
',est Revell motored up to Florida
River over in Liberty county Wed-
nesday afternoon. Fish weren't bit-
ifig. bat the Gulf countians were
somewhat surprised to find signs
tacked up on Florida River warn-
ing people from the Dead Lakes
and Gulfcounty to stay out. The
posters were signed 'Citizens of'
Liberty County.' We are sure this
warningn g is the work of a handful of
Liberty county people and does not
represent the attitude of the entire
county. We know some mighty fine
people who live in Liberty county."
The editor of The Star knows
some good people over there, too,
Brother Hanlon. We are of the
opinion that Whoever placed the
signs was unaware of the fact that
"all streams are public domain, open
to all citizens.

Florida Could Be

Made Wild Turkey

Capital of Nation

Proper Supervision Could In-
crease Population To 150,-
000 Inside 20 Years

With proper management Florida
may soon become the wild turkey
capital of the nation, sals Coleman
Newman, wildlife biologist of the
state game and fresh water fish
commission.
Writing in the current issue of
"Florida Wildlife." the commis-
sion's official publication which ar-
rived on the desk, of the editor of
The Star this week, Newman pre-
dicte'd that careful supervision could
result in a population of 150,000
turkeys in the state within the next
15 to 20 years. This would far out-
strip the gobbler supply of any
other state, he said.
The article points out that Texas
now heads the list of wild turkey
states, but adds that Florida "with-
out half trying" is a close second.
The state's wild turkey crop, al-
ready has increased 300% in the
last 12 years ,according to New-
man, bringing the present popula-
tion to about 35,000. This, he says,
has been accomplished with very
little management.
An estimated 6,583 turkeys were
shot during the 1947 hunting sea-
son, and Newman expects the tur-
key kill to jump to more than 7000
fbr .the coming season., ..
With "some work and consider-
able planning" he predicts that with-
in two decades Florida hunters will
be able to safely kill 30,000 birds
annually.
Newman says 8,000,000 of Flor-
ida's 22,000,000 acres of forest land
can be made into "top-flight tur-
key range." He would like to see

By SARAH CEVA PHILYAW
If you were one of the many fans

night, yoiu no doubt saw and heard
ofte of the pelpplest bunches of
.high school -tudents in these
United States: Much of this pep
and enthusiasm is due to the ef-

The Pep Club, a group of organ-

St. Joe Sharks Lose

Opening Grid Tilt

To Bainbridge 19-6

Open Northwest Conference
Season Here Tonight
Against Apalach

By PHILIP CHATHAM
The St. Joe' Sharks lost to the
Bainbridge Bearcats last Friday
night in a well-played game, the
first of the football season, under
the lights at Centennial Field, the
final score' being 19 to 6. The
Bainbridge eleven outweighed the
Sharks and had a much larger
group from which t6 pick players,
but the local lads met them with
all their power.
Hardage of Bainbridge scored a
touchdown for the Bearcats in the
first quarter and another in the
second. An extra point was made
in the first quarter by a run over
the line. Arnold scored in the third
for the final tally for the visitors.

Star Begins Twelfth

Year With This Issue

Modern Equipment Installed Since
First Paper Printed In 1937

Take a glance toward the top of
the 'page and you will read "Vol-
ume XII, Number 1," which means
that The Star with this issue be-
gins its twelfth year of continuous
publication.
It seems but yesterday that the
editor and publisher was scurrying
around trying to speed up the con-
tractor erecting our building, hold-
ing long distance telephone conver-
sations with supply houses in an
endeavor to get equipment rolling
toward Port St. Joe. Since that
time 'way back in 1937 much new
and modern machinery and type
have been added to the meagre
beginning, the latest being one of
the most modern and completely
equipped typesetting machines, in-
stalled some six weeks ago.
It is with real pleasure that Ye
Ed looks back over the past eleven
years and realizes the co-operation
he has received from residents of
the city, not only in the way of ad-
vertising and commercial printing,
but in the gathering of news. We
can't thank each one individually-
we don't have the space-but ,we
do want to say that from the bot-
tom of our heart we sincerely ap-
preciate that co-operation.


Game Commission

To Hear Opinions

On Closed Season

Would Take Action To Remove
Two-Month Fishing Ban
In Northwest Florida

The state game and fresh water
fish commission will meet in Tal-
lahassee October 25-26 to hear pub-
lic views and take action on the
controversial two-months closed
fishing season in ten north and
northwest Florida counties, a mat-
ter of considerable importance to
fishing camp operators and sports
fishermen of Gulf county particu-
larly.
The affected counties, Gulf, Bay,
Franklin, Liberty, Calhoun, Jeffer-
son, Jackson, Leon, Wakulla and
Gadsden, were closed to fishing
throughout April and May -of this
year while the remainder of the
state was open the year 'round.
In inviting public expression of
views concerning the opening or
closing of the areas next .year, Di-
rector Ben C. Morgan said there
had been "considerable dissatisfac-
tion" in a number of the counties
during this year's closed season,
which is a very mild expression of
what Gulf countians thought of the
matter. ,
"It is not the desire of the com-
mission to unnecessarily prohibit
fishing so long as there are suffi-
cient fish to go around,", the direc-
tor declared. "If the good people of
these ten counties do not want a
closed season, there is n6 'reason
for having one."
The commission meeting will be
open to the public, and everyone
attending will be given an oppor-
tunity to express his views. If
necessary, .Morgan said, the meet-
ing will be stretched into a three-
day session.

Cool Snap False Harbinger of Arrival of Fall
.A W-. ^- S V- ^- ^- ^>* /* ^ .-**/ ^


Fall knocked at the door ahead
of time in Port St. Joe when we
had a cool snap this week which
caused a lot of us to get out our
longhandled underwear with the
trapdoor seat and extra blankets
for our beds. But this is all
-a false alarm, for we still have with
us the warm weather-unless old
Mother Nature has been fooling us
the 12 years we've been here.
Our cool spell was attributed by
the weather bureau to the recent
tropical disturbance which drew a
bit of the North's atmosphere to
the South. We can look forward to
a number of warm spells yet be-
fore Old' Sol crosses the equator
on his trip southward.


a fall snap in the atmosphere in
the near future, what with school
underway and the football mentors
putting their squads through the
paces for the main encounters of
the season.
The sun has already deserted the
northern hemisphere, as witness
the freezing and below-freezing
temperatures reported in the pa-
pers and over the radio, and is on
its way to regions where it will
give warmth to South America,
South Africa and Australia, return-
ing again to us next June 21, when
summer makes, her bow.

days will become shorter until the
advent of winter, four days before
Christmas, brings the shortest day


But we can also look forward to 'of the year.


Counties Will

Vote On Forest

Fire Control

Voters In Twenty-one Coun-
ties Will Find Referen-
dums On Ballot

Prospects are good for a consid-
erable expansion of forest fire con-
trol in Florida. according to R. R.
Whittington of Panama City, presi-
dent of the Florida Forest and Park
Association.
Whittington reports that 21 coun-
ties are considering referendum
votes on county fire control in con-
nection with the November general
election. In 14 of them, the county
commissioners have already or-
dered that the question be placed
on the ballot. They are Gulf, Frank-
lin, Clay, Columbia, Hamilton, Dake,
Holmes, Leon, Levy, Liberty. Nas-
sau, Wakulla and Washington.
In several other counties the
commissioners agreed earlier that
they would place the question be-
fore the voters if the required peti-
tions were submitted. Petitions are
now ready in Baker, Jackson, Wal-
ton and Marion and will be pre-
sented to board at their next meet-
ings. Petitions are still circulating

iOCCUPATION IN JAPAN AFTER TWO YEARS
WRITTEN BY PFC. WiLLIAM F. ROGERS

(Continued from last week) You could almost say that all the


If a couple fall in love, the pro-
cedure they go through is simple,
but no always fair. If the parents
choose to, they may decide which
mate their child should marry, but
if they don't do the deciding, and
the two want to be married, they
have to ask all the others family,
and after they are once married it
is impossible for them to get a di-
vorce. So over here, when you pick
your mate, you have him or her for
Ee.
The mother does the house work,
o' beys her husband and sons, while
the poor daughter has to do what
everyone says. As usual, the father
has the says -over the entire
household.
The machinery that the Japanese
have 4s the poorest in the world.
Although they are expert at copy-
ing, the material they use is bad
enough to spoil the whole works,
and the automobiles are usually
old American models from a '29 to
a '39. But due to the fuel shortage
here (they have hardly any gaso-
line) the cars have a small stove
on the back that burns coal, and
the'fumes expand to turn over the
engine. Sometimes they get hold
of faulty coal and you would think
someone was laying a smoke
screen.

trains are electric, but you can go
almost anywhere you want to on
one of them. The army has fixed
special cars for the allied person-
nel to use, because if we had to
use the same cars as the Japanese
someone would get their toes
stepped on. When a car gets full
and the train stops at a station,
the ones that want to get on just
back up to get a good start, then
comes the pushing and shoving,
not to mention the gripes that will
start going around.
Now for a little about the soldier
serving in the Japan occupation:
Facilities for us are very good-I
think much better than in the Eur-
opean Theater of Operations. Tokyo
alone has about 50 dance halls for
the guys that like to dance their
time away, plenty of beer halls for
the ones that want to relax and
take on a good cold one, riding
academies, football, baseball, and
all the sports.
There is an ice rink at one of the
larger buildings called Memorial
Hall. The biggest theater is named
after Ernie Pyle, the news corre-
spondent who stayed with the boys
in the Pacific. There are several
others, but not too big. The Ernie
Pyle is five stories up, and some of
the best stateside movies come to
it before they go to the smaller
theaters.
We have a seven-floor PX (post
exchange) where we can buy most
any of the little extras that we
want. It also keeps stock for the
dependents-there are a lot of them
over here. Officers and first three
graders can get their families here
and the government furnishes the
house. Some housing units have
been constructed, and right now I
believe there are about seven
places where thy have their own
six-room house, and there are about
20 hotels where the independent
civilians stay. Through the job I
have I have discovered that there
are- about 120,000 Americans in
Japan at this date. That is quite a
few.
All the guys that helped me
gather the information for this ar-
ticle send their greetings to you
folks in Port St. Joe. We all truth-
fully say that we: believe that
Japan .is straightening up fast and
that we won't have any more
trouble with them for a long time
to come. We are all doing our best
to show these people what they've
been missing all their lives.
I would like to hear from a few
people and find how they take this
letter.

problem of housing the rapidly in-
creasing number of children, this
amendment must be defeated," the
committee said. They added: "The
amendment would place added re-
strictions on the authority of school
officials to provide for school
building."
The committee, promised a fight
to defeat both amendments.
Calling upon all teachers, school
officials, parents and all citizens
interested in continuing the "Flor-
ida Forward" school movement to
"vote no" on amendments one and
two, it appointed Ed Henderson,
soon to take office as executive
secretary of the Florida Education
Association, to head a statewide
information campaign. And Hen-
derson has urged all school people
and parents to "get behind the fight
to defeat these two crippling
amendments."

DEAR SHOPPERS:
A former resident visiting in Port
St. Joe came in to do some fall
shopping. "We still take The Star
and keep tab on Boyles Depart-
ment Store through 'The Tattler',"
she said. "We miss those Special
Days and have thought about send-
ing you a mail order, but did not
know if you would send merchan-
dise that way." We told her that we
mail merchandise to a number of
out-of-town customers and would
be very happy to fill orders at any
time. It is good to know
these friends still remember us.

Two White City fishermen's
stories: Mr. X-"I caught a 95-
pound bass in the Intracoastal
Canal." Mr. Z-"I caught a lantern
that I had dropped in the canal 15
years ago, and it was still burn-
ing!" Who wins?

We are indeed happy and for-


tunate to have the active assistance
of the senior partner in this fiim,
Mr. J. A. Coleman. Your generous
patronage has made this possible
and necessary. Jim Coleman brings
to this firm more than 25 years of
rich, well-rounded merchandise ex-
perience and knowledge. A mile-
stone has been reached and we feel
that this move marks the begin-
ning of a new era in the history of
Boyles Department Store. New
goals of achievement have been
set which mean improved Service
and greater Savings to the patrons
of this firm. You'll like the friendly,
efficient manner and methods of
Jim Coleman! Come in and get ac-
quainted with him today!

Be sure to double cheek the
timely suggestions in this space.
Yours with "Touchdown"

Our Country F Right or Wrong

IF THE OPA COMES BACK
Could prices be effectively held down by an-
.other OPA? One of the best known experts in
the field of retail merchandising recently an-
swered that question in these words: "Price con-
trols per se are futile without rationing and con-
trols over wages, raw materials, exports, plus all
of the 'musts' that add up to a completely
planned economy. As to the kind of an OPA that
functioned under Chester Bowles, virtually
,every merchant in the country will testify that
this resulted in artificial shortages, decreased
Production, quality deterioration and black mar-
kets. The sum total was higher, rather than
lower, prices to the consumer."
Price control can be even reasonably effective
tarily in a police state in which everything that
enters in any way into the price of goods is con-
trolled, lock, stock and barrel, by the govern-
-ment. Then we have a completely regimented
,economy-and we soon must have a system of
-government which works by coercion, force and,
-in the ultimate stages, by terror and oppression.
Everyone in Port St. Joe can remember what
happened under the postwar OPA. The legiti-
-mate merchants, from the little one-man store
to one having a dozen employes, were always
::short of goods. They had to stock inferior quali-
-ities in many cases because nothing else was
:available. The black market on the other hand
, and we had a small one in St. Joe) carried
"most anything for those few who could afford
-the prices. Many scarce items and foodstuffs
-were available to the tiny minority which didn't
,care what it paid for what it wanted. Very little
was available to the rest of us.
A return to price control would create more
problems, and far more serious problems, than
'those we are now dealing with.

Election day is usually the first Tuesday after
'the first Monday of the month. The first Wed-
nesday after the first Tuesday should be re-
Sserved for the voters to tell the successful candi-
(dates how 'to be good officeholders.

Buy in Port St. Joe where you can see what
you are getting and get what you pay for when
you get it.


10 YEARS AGO
From the Files of The Star


'Clements To Work On Celebration
George H. Clements, who has
been making periodic visits to Port
.St. Joe for several months past for
the purpose of/ sending out to news-
,papers all over the country stories
regarding celebration of the cen-
tennial of Florida's first state con-_
stitution to be held December 7 to
10, this week arrived to stay until
the big show is over. His real job
is handling publicity for the New
York World's Fair next summer,
but he has been given leave of ab-
.sence to devote full time to the
Centennial Celebration.

WILL RUSSIA GO TO WAR? YES NO
Those who are charged with the responsibil-
ity of creating and administering foreign policy
are always faced with one grim imponderable-
is the Soviet Union so determined to get what
she wants in the world that she will go to war if
other -techniques of aggression and expansion
fail? No one, obviously, can provide a definitive
answer yet. The architects of global policy in
Washington, no less than the men on the ground
in the troubled regions of the world, must pro-
ceed on assumptions and theories which may or
may not prove to be correct.
The editor of The Star for a long time was
, of the belief that the Muscovites were bluffing,
that they couldn't afford to go to war-now we
are beginning to have our doubts. The argument
over just how far Russia will go has many facets.
There is one school, and it is probably still in
the majority in this country, that holds she will
stop short of war at this time because of her
many internal weaknesses. There is another
school which'-has come to doubt this, pointing
out that the Soviet leaders are determined to
have what they want by almost any means, and
perhaps by ANY means.
So we have the two extremes-those who are
convinced Russia will not fight, and those who
are equally convinced that she will, and possibly
very soon. Then there is another school which
says very frankly that it doesn't know whether
she will or not, but has a program which it be-
lieves must be followed regardless of the out-
come. Writing in Newsweek, Henry Hazlitt ac-
curately presented that school's point of view in
these words: "The chief reason we have been
losing the cold war with Russia is that we have
remained purely on the defensive. Paradoxical
as it may seem to some, our only hope now of
preventing a shooting war is to seize the offen-
sive in the cold war. We must offer un-
equivocal military guarantees to the western'
European union. We must support China in its
fight against the communists, economic chaos,
and Soviet aggression. We must keep probing
for Stalin's weak spots. And we must embark
upon a positive and relentless propaganda cam-
paign of our own, not merely on political dis-
putes but on the unworkability and slavery of
communism and on the freedom and productiv-
ity under a democracy."
That is a far-reaching program indeed, and, at
least so far as the basic idea is concerned, it is
finding more and more adherents.
The whole matter is ticklish, of course. The
Russian procedure of telling a country precisely
what kind of a government it must have, and
blackjacking it into acceptance if necessary,
doesn't jibe with American ideas.
In any event, with the matter of the control
of Berlin being taken before the United Nations,
and conscription of our young men, it looks now
as if American policy may be built upon three
related foundations-first, far greater firmness
than we have shown in the past; second, a steady
strengthening of our military forces; and third,
an effort to give the bewildered peoples of the
world a real picture of what the free democracy
offers.

Probe Huge Loss In Water Supply
For several months past city of-
ficials have been checking the wa-
ter system to discover where from
three to five million gallons of wa-
ter go each month.. The problem
has been reduced to two theories:
Either the meters on the pumps
are not registering accurately, or
through some error of connection
while laying fire mains to the St.
Joe Paper Company the city water
mains were connected with the in-
take lines of the paper mill. Dur-
ing the month of August approxi-
mately 5,000,000 more gallons of
water were pumped than were
sold. /

Editor The Starr:
I jest bin reading' where Uncle
Sambo's payroll is bein' boosted by
15,000 new people per month-that
is 500 per day and no small amount
to be sneezed at. It's a heck of a
lotta votes fer sumbuddy. But the
Boss-Man up there at the head of-
fice sez, Tut! Tut! it ain't nothing'
to stew about, most of these here
new payroll people is on the Aid
to Europe programme, he sez. But
this Mr. Boss-Man don't say he's
cutting' down elsewhere and getting'
sum other guys in other places
offen our bent backs. He should
-but he don't.
The paper sez that fer every 6
people in the land, one of them is
supported and carried along by the
other 5. And that, when it's reduced
down and brot home, it means each
of us is luggin' on our, back one-
fifth of a guy-furnishin' him with
clothes, and house rent, and food,


and all accessories compleat, and 12
months per annum.
I bin trying' to bigger out how
menny more kin be piled on, with-
out most of us cavin' in-even got
out my slidin' rule-and I'm still
puzzled on how we kin even carry:,

Southward Migration
The causes of southward migra-

a lessening of the food supply an
shortened hours of daylight for

Amendment No. 1


Points Out Number of Benefits
That Will Accrue If

The Florida Good Roads Associa-
tion is taking an active part in the
movement to secure the passage of
constitutional amendment No. 1 at
the November 2 election. This as-
sociation, according to publicity re-
leases, is "dedicated to the best in-
-\.terests of Florida and the Florida


highway user."
Constitutional amendment I was
passed by the required three-fifths
majority of the 1947 legislature to
guarantee an assured source of in-
come to the state road department
and the counties of the state for
existing and future increased costs
to be incurred for construction and
maintenance of a more adequate
system of federal aid, state and lo-
cal highways, streets and bridges.
According to the association, ben-
efits that will come with adoption
of the amendment are as follows:
1. To permit the execution of a
long-range program of highway de-
velopment for the movement of
modern traffic with safety, facility
and economy.
2. To increase tourism travel and


tirement of road and bridge bonds.
61 To relieve the counties from
the burden of required taxation for
acquisition of rights-of-way for all
highways.

improvements for which no help
can be expected froip the limited

Digest of Proposed Constitutional

Amendments


(Ed Note: ITnder this heading, for the
benefit of readers of'The Star. will be
given an unbiased digest of the 11 consti-
tutional anmendents to be voted on in the
NovemberII general election.)

No. 5-Amendment of Constitution
This resolution would change the
state constitution to permit an
amendment to consist of only one
revised article. The present consti-
tution provides that "either branch
of the legislature, at a regular ses-
sion thereof, may propose amend-
ments to this constitution." The
resolution proposing a new amend-
ment reads: "Either branch of the
legislature, at any regular session,
or at any special or extraordinary
session thereof called for such pur-
pose either in the governor's orig-
inal call or any amendment thereof,
may propose the revision or amend-
ment of any portion or portions of
this constitution. Any such revision
or amendment may relate to one
subject or .any number of subjects,


I resolution to the people be pub-
Ilished in each county for three
monhts preceding the election. The
proposed amendment would limit
such notice to two times, one ten
I weeks before the election and the
other not later than six weeks be-
fore the election.

No. 6-Retirement of Judges
This resolution proposes to add
Section 46 to Article IV and permit
justices of the Florida supreme
court and circuit judges to retire
instead of resigning, when they be-
come eligible for retirement, with
compensation. As it is now, a just-
tice or a judge must resign in or-
der to be eligible for retirement
benefits.
This follows decisions of our
courts which hold that to gain the
benefits of retirement, the judge
must give up some of his elective
time by complete resignation. The


but no amendment shall consist of result is that no retired justice or
more than one revised article of judge can serve temporarily on the
the constitution." bench. The proposed amendment
However, one of the'most signifi- would make it legally possible for
cant changes proposed is in the no- any justice or judge, after resigna-
tice. to be given the public. The tion or after retirement, to be re-
present constitution requires that called for temporary duty, if he is
notice of intention to submit the willing to do it.


Warren To Speak At

Health Assn. Meeting

Will Talk On "The Place of Public
Health In My Administration"

An address by Fuller Warren will
highlight the annual convention of
the Florida Public Health Associa-
tion to be held in Panama City next
Friday, Saturday and Sunday, Oc-
toberi 7- to 9.
Warren's subject, "The Place of
Public Health In My Administr-a-
tion," is expected to take on added
emphasis in view of the fact that
outstanding health needs of Florida
were outlined at a recent meeting
of the state board of health's gov-
erning body.
The health board placed a stream
pollution abatement program, ex-
panded health services for children
of both school and pre-school age,
and expansion of the food handlers'
school program, at the top of the
list of health needs..
Plans have been completed for
the meeting, which is expected to
attract approximately 500 public
health workers and others inter-
ested in public health.
Attention at the convention will
be focused on better health for the
children in Florida, with mental
health coming in for a share of the-
spotlight. Three discussions on this
subject have been scheduled.

It pays to advertise- try it!


Increased Grants

For Aged and.Blind

Maximum Now Set At $50, Com-
pared To Previous $45

Increased grants to Florida's
needy aged and blind up to a maxi-
mum of $50. as compared with the
former $45 maximum, have been
approved by action of the state
welfare board. The increases were
made possible through additional
funds provided states by the fed-
eral government beginning today,
and will reflect in checks for Oc-
tober.
The Florida. legislature in 1947
approved an increase in maximum
from $40 to $50 per month. Up to
now, however, because of uncer-
tainty of funds, the maximum has
been kept at $45.
The amount of the increase up
to the maximum will be based on
the individual's minimum needs be-
yond the $45 now being received.
The increase will not affect all
those receiving public assistance
grants, since the program is based
entirely on established needs.
Need is determined, by subtract-
ing a recipient's income from what
has been established as the cost of
a basic monthly budget. The de-
ficiency is met through the public
assistance program provided it does
not exceed the maximum allowed.
In many instances the minimum as-

in Charlotte, Okaloosa and Santa
Rosa counties. Twelve counties of
the state are already under organ-
ized fire control.
More than 7,000,000 acres of for-
est land are involved in the new
counties. If all of them show a fa-
vorable majority and the lands are
put under protection, it will more
than double the acreage listed with
the Florida Forest Service. As of
June 30 there were 6,952,822 acres
listed with the state agency and an
additional 1,241,956 in Florida pro-
tected by the U. S. Forest Service.
Actual fire control on any addi-
tional acreage cannot be under-
taken before next July, and then
only if increased state and federal
funds become available. Under the
existing enabling act, the counties
would provide either three cents
per acre of forest land or the re-
ceipts from a two-mill tax levy,
whichever is the less.
Should all 21 counties vote fa-
vorable, it will require an esti-
mated $170,000 of additional county
funds annually. Additional state
and federal funds for the operation
of the new units would be approxi-
mately $474,000.
Under the policies of the Florida
Forest Service, county funds are
used only in operating the units.
Fire towers, telephone lines, county
headquarters and similar improve-
ments and structures are built
from state and federal funds. An
estimated $795,000 will be required

Financial Position of

Farmers is Still Sound

Despite Rising Costs

Banker Says Florida Farmers Be-
ing Generally Successful In
Avoiding Excessive Debt

Even though the costs of things
the farmer uses are continuing up-
ward. Florida agriculture is main-
taining a sound financial position,
according to Dave Gaskin, presi-
dent of, the Wewahitchka State
Bank at Wewahitchka.
Gaskin, who represents the Flor-
ida Bankers Association as Gulf
county advisory banker, notes that
Florida farmers are being generally
-'successful in avoiding the dangers
of excessive debt during the cur-
rent inflationary period.
Quoting from a national survey
of bank lending made by the agri-
cultural commission of the Ameri-
can Bankers Association, Gaskin re-
ports that, during 1947, Florida
banks loaned $28,978,000 to their
farm customers. At the beginning
of 1948, the total agricultural loans
outstanding in Florida banks ag-
gregated $15,855,000, compared to
approximately $13,000,000 at the
beginning of the .preceding year.
This high percentage of payoffs is
indicative of the prosperous con-
dition of Florida agriculture. The
advance in outstanding is account-
ed for principally in loans for pro-
duction purposes, which reflects
the increased availability of ma-
terials and equipment for capital
improvements.

Guests From Thomasville
Mrs. Mary Nell Skaret and daugh-
ter Betty Jo of Thomasville, Ga.,
were guests last week of Mr. and
Mrs. Emmett Daniels and Mrs.
Gladys McCoy.

Visits Air Station At Jax
B. H. Dickens Jr., spent the week-
end at the naval air station in Jack-
sonville. He reports that he was
really surprised at the formidable
new weapons under development.


PEP CLUB

(Continued from page 1)
charge of the hot dog stand, and
she really did a swell job selling
those dogs and cold drinks. She
had several committees of Pep
Club girls helping her.
The Pep Club was asked by Prin-
cipal Marvin Rooks to take over
the concessions at the games to
help the athletic association. Since
one of the aims of the club is to
help the team, the girls were happy
to do this. So visit the stand to-
night and buy a hot dog and a cold.
drink.
Did you notice the girls who led
the Pep Club in their yells and
built those pyramids? We would
like for you to know just how those
girls were selected. Each class, in-
cluding the freshman, sophomore,
junior and senior, elected four girls
to try out for cheerleader. After a
few days of practice, a committee
composed of three faculty mem-
bers, Miss Catherine Nix, Mrs.
Eula Pridgeon and Coach Marion
Craig, were' to select three out of
the four girls from each class. Se-
lected were Lynette Traxler, Ger-
aldine Elliott and Memorie Porter,
seniors; Alice Elder, Sara Nell
Clements and Virginia Boggs, ju-
niors; Faye Hill, Virginia Gloekler,
and Betty Ruth Wilder, sopho-
mores; Sara Sealy, Joyce Edwards
and Ernestine Durant, freshmen.
From these girls, one was to be
selected as head cheer leader for
this year. Lynette Traxler, because
of her outstanding ability, was
given this honor, and we think she
is doing a grand job of it.
All girls upon entering the ninth
grade are eligible to become mem-
bers of the Pep Club. Like the
football team, the members must
keep up their scholastic standard
of grades or they are to be dropped
from the activities of the club un-
til their grades improve.
Keep an eye on this bunch of
girls and come out to the games
and help them root for the team.
Everyone is invited .to yell with
them. They will appreciate your
support.

Today Is Last Day To

Get Drivers' License

Without A Penalty

Those Not Acquiring Same Today
Must Pay Extra Simoleon Or
Submit To Examination

Today, ladies and gentlemen mo-
torists, is the last day for securing
a 1949 Florida drivers' license with-
out penalty. If you don't acquire
one by this evening, you have the
choice of paying an extra dollar
for the license or submitting to an
examination by Florida Highway
Patrolman Olin Davis.
Both County Judge Earl Pridgeon
at Wewahitchka and George Tap-
per of St. Joe state that the sale of
licenses is still far below the num-
ber issued last year.
The price is the same as last
year-one dollar for an operators
license and two smackers for chauf-
feurs.


SHARKS LOSE

(Continued from page 1)
from the line, Bobo Owens ran 45
yards to make a touchdown for St.
Joe in the second quarter; try for
point was unsuccessful.
In the last few seconds of the
final quarter. Bill Fleming snagged
a 15-yard pass and loped 32 yards
for what' looked like a sure score,
but was brought down on the Bain-
bridge three-yard line.
In the exciting game, the Sharks
gained 10 yards by rushing and SO
yards by passing. Tlie Bearcats
gained 259 yards rushing and 35
yards passing. Bainbridge made no
long runs and completed two
passes; St. Joe made two long runs
and completed four passes. The
Sharks were penalized 80 yards,
and Bainbridge was penalized 90
yards, which goes to show that the
game was quite rough.
The Sharks will open their
Northwest Confeience season here
tonight against Apalachicola. The
long-standing rivalry existing be-
tween these two teams should make
this game an interesting one. St.
Joe won a 7-6 victory last year and
the Oyster City lads are anxius
to even the count.
Charles Whitehead, hard-running
fullback, is lost to the Sharks for
tonight's game due to an injury re-
ceived in-the Baitbbridge tilt.
Buster Owens and Bill Fleming
are expected, to spark the offensive
and Bill Davis and Tommy Simp-
son round out the starting back-
field.
Defensive play has been stressed
this week by Coach Marion Craig
in an effort to strengthen the
Shark line, which proved inade-
quate against Bainbridge.
Tickets for tonight's game are
now on sale at the Miller and Car-
ver drug stores.
Scores around the loop last Fri-
day were as follows: Apalachicola
30, Blountstown 0; Bristol 34, Car-
rabelle 0; Altha 13, Sopchoppy 0;
Bay High 13, Belle Glade 7; Quincy
52, Bonifay 6.

Attend Birthday Dinner
Mr. and Mrs. Robert Williams.
Mrs. Ivey Williams and daughter
Dorothy Jean and Miss Jean Al-
gonas spent Sunday in Graceville
with Mrs. Williams' parents, Mr.

there they enjoyed a surprise birth-
day dinner honoring Mr. Watford
on his 75th birthday.

panied as far as Jacksonville by
