Chapman High

Defeats Sharks

By 6 to 2 Score


Good Game Expected Tonight
When Local Lads Tangle
With Chipley

By JAMES CHATHAM
The invading Chapman high grid
team won a hard-fought 6-2 victory
over the St. Joe Sharks at Centen-
nial Field last Friday to.avenge the
7-6 defeat handed them last year
by St. Joe.
The Stingarees kicked off and
the Sharks returned thd ball to
their own 40-yard line, and then
proceeded to take another 40 on
short gains off tackle and guard.
The' ball was lost on downs and
Chapman then carried the -pigskin
to St. Joe's 20-yard line, from where
Voss scored Apalachicola's lone
counter on a double reverse. The
try for point failed.
There were no outstanding plays
by either side in the second quar-
ter, and the half ended with Chap-
man leading 6-0.
The third frame was the Sharks'
best quarter. Chapman kicked to
the St. Joe team and the ball was
p. carried to the Chapman 2-yard line,
where a fumble gave it back to the
Stingarees, who then, deep in their
own territory, attempted a punt,
which was blocked by Philip Chat-
'iam. The ball rolled out of the end
.zone and was good for two points
for the Sharks. The fourth quarter
wasK mostly defensive for both

South's Most

Fantastic Year

Writer Says Florida Looks To
Be In Dewey Column
By a Plurality

By BRYAN COLLIER
Jacksonville, Oct. 7-(Special to
The Star)-This is unquestionably
the,Deep South's most fantastic po-
litical year, and about the only
southern political forces which
seem even remotely unified or of
one mind are those which are sup-
porting the Republican ticket-in-
cluding thousands of erstwhile
Democrats.
In traveling through the South,
you run across an avowed "Truman
man" so rarely as to create almost
a sense of shock when you do meet
one. There are certainly many who
intend to vote the straight Demo-
cratic ticket, but they are keeping
mightily quiet about it.
One such remarked: "I guess I'll
either vote for Truman or go fish-
ing, but Mr. Dewey needn't worry
about the South. I suspect he'll 'get
a good many electoral votes, includ-
ing some he doesn't imagine. We
are going to beat Truman; but we
will do it in our own way." '

Warren Says Public Is
Boss of Institutions

Public relations practices of some
state institutions and agencies, par-
ticularly the state welfare commis-
sion, drew sharp criticism recently
from Governor-elect Fuller Warren.
He said in a prepared statement
that when he becomes governor he
will introduce a program designed
to get those who run the institu-
tions and agencies to impress the
public with their "loyalty, enthusi-
asm, friendliness, courtesy and in-
formed intelligence. To be very
specific, I want to humanize these
institutions. It's our idea to make
every state institution conscious of
the fact that the public is the boss."
In his statement, Warren named
only the state welfare board as an
agency which could practice his
idea of "neighborly friendliness, to
good advantage."
"I have been reliably informed
that some employes of the state
.welfare board, in interviewing
prospective recipients for aid, pro-
pound questions as if the persons
being interviewed yere suspects of
some crime.
"Indeed, they are good citizens of
this state who are entitled to cour-
teous consideration."

Coach Explains

Admission Price

At Grid Games

Points Out In Open Letter To
Public That Operating Cost
Really Runs Into Money

There have been quite a number
of yelps from some fans attending
football games at Centennial Field
in regardi'to the 90-cent admission
charge, and in order to explain
why this admission is necessary,
Coach Marion Craig has written
the following open letter to the
citizens of the community:
Dear Football Fans and Friends
of Port St. Joe High School:
I have been informed that some
of you are greatly dissatisfied with
the present price of admission to
our football games. It never oc-
curred to me that this price of 90c
was unreasonable. The purpose of
this letter is to -give you some idea
of the expenses incurred by our
small 'team and the reason for the
present admission charge. I Jiope
it will give you a more sympathetic
attitude towards our financial prob-
lem.
The following are known and es-
timated expenditures for this sea-
son: Guarantees to visiting teams,
$450; official's fees. $260; lights.
$48: cleaning and laundry, $100;
football equipment, $100; medical

Polio Upswing Near

Crisis, Judge States

State March of Dimes Chair-
man Says Need for, Funds
Is Quite Evident

Because of the alarming and sus-
tained upswing in new cases, this
country is facing its gravest crisis
in the long drawn battle against in-
fantile paralysis, declares Judge
George E. Holt of Miami, 1949
March of Dimes state chairman for
Florida.
Estimates now are that this year
may set amn all-time record for polio
cases, even exceeding the 27,363 to-
tal for 1916, the worst year in his-
tory.
Due to three major epidemics,
Texas, North Carolina and Califor-
nia,. and increases in new cases in
a dozen other states, the emergency
.aid funds of the National Founda-
tion for Infantile Paralysis have
reached a dangerously low level.
However, despite the extraordi-
nIary demands made upon it, the
foundation has met the emergency
and not one case, so far as is
known, has failed to receive hos-
pitilization if such was recommend-
ed by the physician or desired by

County Take In 16

Years From Racing

Ta x Is_$604,248

Amount Has Grown From $9,-
226 In 1932 To Top of
$98,000 In 1946

Legalized racing has saved Gulf
county taxpayers $604,248.30 since
1932, according to a survey show-
ing what happens to tax dollars
collected by the state from pari-
mutuel sales and admissions to
Florida race tracks. Since 1932 the
state has collected a total of $43.,-
665,857.67.
As a result of racing revenue, the
survey shows, local taxes have
been reduced in all 67 counties for
the support of schools, courts,
roads, charity, pest control and
other public services. In addition,
racing money has made possible
such benefits as county hospitals,
farmers' markets, county libraries,
school gymnasiums, help to vet-
erans' and soil surveys.
In Gulf county, the distribution
of racing revenue is made by the
county commission and board of
public instruction.
From $9,226.23 received in 1932,
Gulf county's share has grown by
leaps and bounds. It reached the
record high of $98,000 in 1946. The
amount was $90,000 in 1947 and
$83,667 this year.
Besides the sum of $40,476,035
collected for the counties, racing
has contributed since 1942 a total
of $21,455,678 to provide housing
and other necessities of life for
Florida's aged' needy.


Private Property In

State Highest Ever

Appraised On County Tax Rolls At
More Than Three Billions

Private property in Florida is ap-
praised at more than $3,000,000,000
for the first time in history, ac-
cording to the state comptroller.
.Reports from the county tax as-
sessors showed a total valuation of
$3,201,693,964, compared with $2,-
774,946,299 last year.
However, of the total $953,212,996
worth of property was exempt from
taxation under the $5000 homestead
exemption amendment. Last year's
homestead exemption figure was
$713,365,955.
Valuation of non-exempt real es-
tate increased from $1,518,278,314
last year to $1,721,545,965 on the
new tax roll. Personal property in-
creased from $427,204,156 to $510,-
548,957.
Railroad and telegraph property
assessed by the comptroller and di-
vided among the counties was
about the same as last year-$116,-.
386,046, compared with $116,097,874.
All but 15 counties showed in-
creases in real estate valuations
and only 11 counties reported lower
personal property values this year.
Homestead valuations increased in
every county.
Figures do not include the value
of property held by state and local
governments and organizations ex-
empt from taxation.

lould Divide

Democrats Over

Race Question


Carter Says Reactionaries Are
Using Move To Elect A
Republican President

Reactionaries of the nation are
trying to elect a Republican presi-
dent by dividing the Democrats on
a racial question, just as they di-
vided them on the religious issues
in 1928,'Jerry Carter of Tallahas-
see, Democratic national commit-
teeman, charges.
"These agents of the malefactors
of great wealth know the only way
they can defeat the Democrats is
by dividing them," he said. "The
last time this strategy was woSd
was when they drummed up the
religious issue to defeat a Demo-
crat a J elect the man for whom
our greatest depression was named.
If these reactionaries succeed again
we may have an even greater de-
pression to carry the name of an-
other Republican president."
Carter said there is nothing new
for Florida in the civil rights plank
of the party. "They're just agreeing
with what Florida did many years
ago," he declared. "Florida courts
declared, Jim Crow laws unconsti-
tutional 43 years ago, and the re-
lations of today have been worked
out by the two races by mutual
consent. Florida banned the poll
tax 10 years ago. The anti-lynching
provision sought for all states is
another way of saying what Flor-
ida wrote into her constitution of
1SS5."
Jerry called on Democrats of
Florida not to let themselves be
"divided and conquered" by im-
aginary issues. The only real issue
in this campaign, he said, is whe-
ther the great gains for the com-
mon man are going to be preserved
or whether we shall lose most of
them while a few rich men and
great corporations again are gain-
ing control of three-fourths of the
nation's wealth.

FANTASTIC YEAR

(Continued from page 1)
Nowhere is it possible to dis-
cover any really hopeful enthusi-
asm for the States Rights ticket.
This is strictly a die-hard move-
ment, designed solely to stop Tru-
man in the South. And the planned
effect may very well be to give
Dewey southern electoral votes, al-
though some observers feel that in
an out-and-out test between Dewey
and Truman, the Republican ticket
would have the best chance.
North Florida-the Old South
plantation section, with its moss-
hung liveoaks, its black rivers and
Wandering bayous looks like it
will be in the Thurmond column,
possibly with '35 per cent of the
overall vote. This will leave 65 per
cent, which will be almost evenly
divided between Dewey and Tru-
man.
But North Florida is not the
most populous section of the state,
and when the count comes up from
East and South Florida, the con-
sensus is that it will be quite a dif-
ferent story, with Dewey leading
and Thurmond and Truman scram-
bling for the remainder.
As of now, in other words, Flor-
ida looks to be in the Dewey col-
umn, by a plurality. And if Flor-
idians generally vote like they talk
-you can scarcely find anybody in
business' and professional circles
who doesn't says he is going to
support Dewey -"the Republicans
might even get a majority.

America Raises Food
The 20 per cent of the United
States population on farms produced
more food for exports in the last
crop year than all the rest of the
world combined and provided do-
mestic consumers with more and
better food than ever before.

Our Country Right or Wrong

ISRAEL FORGOT TO TEACH
GOVERNMENT AND LOST
.(Reprinted from the Fairfield, Iowa, Daily Ledger)
We want to preach a sermon, in the following
'paragraphs, to the school boards, country teach-
ers, superintendents, principals of high schools
and faculty members of both high schools and
colleges, whose duty it is to teach government.
We will imitate our "brethren of the cloth" by
taking a text. It is found in Nehemiah 8:9. "For
all the people wept when they heard the words
of the law"
Israel, when it fled from Egypt, had been
given the briefest written constitution any na-
tion has ever accepted. It was called the Ten
Commandments. As long as Israel knew and fol-
lowed that law, it prospered and expanded till,
under Solomon, it became the richest and fore-
most nation in the world.
With prosperity and expansion, Israel became
complacent. Its people, its elders (members of
its boards of education), its Levites (teachers
and faculty members) began to slowly drift
away from the importance of teaching the Israel-
ite children the superiority of their country's
form of government.
Fifth columnists from Baal and other subver-
sive elements from the surrounding country be-
gan to infiltrate Israel and stress the alleged
-weakness of the Mosaic pattern of government.
'The youth of Israel, having had little or no train-
ing in the fundamental law of their land, were
,easily moved toward Baalism and the other
"'ismrs" of that day.
When they grew up, they were better posted
,on the forms of religious and political govern-
xnents of the surrounding nations than they were
.on the basic principles of their own government.
,There were probably a number of oldtimers,
hearing the 100th milestone in their lives, who
urged the Levites to devote more time to their
constitution and form of government. But some
tof the leaders of, the teaching profession may
lbave retorted, "All, our curriculum is already
ov.eiloaded. We have taken on tap dancing,
bridge, Delsarfe and similar modern branches of
education, and we simply can not find a place
:in our course of study for anything else. Besides


10 YEARS AGO
From the Files of The Star


City Should Be Named St. Joseph
"Why don't you people over there
in Port St. Joe change the name of
your town to 'St. Joseph'?" was the
question asked the editor of The
Star while talking to W. T. Cash,
state librarian, in Tallahassee last
"Tr r iaThe ALditor has' felt that the


government is such a dry study that it is diffi-
cult to interest either the teacher or the student


in it."
The result was that Israel became so imbued
with foreign "isms" that when the totalitarian
foreign armies invaded its borders, they were
welcomed by many, and met with little resist-
ance from the remainder of the population.
The key men of the country, without respect
to their political party affiliations, were taken
into captivity-the Trumans, Barkleys, Deweys,
Warrens, Wallaces, Taylors, Thomases, Loudens,
Frescoins, Eastburns, Williams, Pences, Shearers
and all the leaders and most important citizens.
The Sherlocks and the rest of the insignificant
were left behind to mourn the.overthrow of their
government midst the weeds and ruins.
Many, many-,years rolled around and the to-
talitarians became convinced that Mosaic con-
cepts had been bred out of the Israelites. Thev
decided to send the Hebrews back to their
homeland.
In due tilne a patriotic revival broke out in
the streets of Jerusalem. It was not sponsored by
Ezra, nor the elders, nor the Levites, nor the
leaders. It sprang from the people.
Neliemiah 8:1 says, "And the people gathered
themselves together as one man into the street
that was before the water gate, and they spake
unto Ezra the scribe to bring the book of the law
of Moses, which the Lord had commanded to
Israel."
Ezra obeyed the command of the people and
read to them from morning until midday. The
people wept, as described in the words of .our
text, but Ezra bade them to mourn not nor weep
for that day was holy unto the Lord.
It took the rank and file of the people then,
and it will take the rank and file of the people
today to arouse interest in the fundamental law
of the land-to show the public, especially the
youth of the land, the superiority of our form of
government.
We have little time to lose. Un-Americanisin
is at work night and day, while we are procras-
tinating as did the Israelites of old.
The elements of civil government should be
taught, beginning with the eighth grade, to reach
the pupils who may never attend high school.
Some of our schools aie instructing the youth in
the mechanics. and the superiority of our ,form
of government.
We sincerely congratulate the teachers in
those schools. Others are not doing so well. We
hope they will fill the gap this year. Israel failed
and lost. America can fail and lose.

The mail order houses and business firms in
adjoining communities do nothing for the up-
keep of our schools, our churches or our city.
Patronize home-town merchants who pay taxes
in Port St. Joe.

As soon as the average youth decides he can
read a woman like a book he wants to join a
circulating library.

Keep smiling-and buy U S Savings Bothds.

Nation's Welfare To Have Top Billing

Tag Sale Plan Changed;
Sticker for Out-of-Staters
Tourists who send their children
to Florida schools or take tempor-
ary jobs are not going to have to
turn in their out-of-state tags af-
ter all. They will have to buy spe-
cial decalcomanias to be pasted on
the rear car window, but they can
keep their old tags.
The state motor vehicle commis-
sion had announced previously a
new law effective October 1 would
require tourists who buy Florida
tags to turn in their out-of-state
plates. The regulation was modi-
fied for the convenience of non-
resident car owners who go in and
out of the state although their chil-
dren remain in school here.
The decalcomanias will cost the
same price as regular tags and will
bear the words "Florida-Sunshine
State" and a serial number.

The 1949 March of Dimes will be
the greatest campaign ever con-
.ducted in order that the depleted
funds 'of the foundation can be re-
plenished for the fight against the
crippling disease.
Judge Holt said: "We- have
learned for the first time just how
costly an epidemic can be to a
single state. For instance, North
Carolina suffered a loss of $40,000,-
000 this year in trade and business
alone due to the epidemic. The
travel and tourist business was
shot to pieces, schools were closed,
movies suffered a tremendous loss.
The epidemic will cost $3,000,000
for medical care alone, and since
the first of the year $654,054 in na-
tional foundation funds has been
poured into the state, with pros-
pects that at least $1,000,000 will
be needed by the end of the year.'
"Remember, this is for one state
only, and any state, even our own,
might have to suffer the* same
tragic experience. We are sure the
public will support the next March
of Dimes as never before, and we
believe our volunteer workers will
organize early and work to make
the campaign a success."

In closing, let me relate to yoit
an incident that occurred a few
days back. Tommy Simpson paid
me $15 for a pair of football shoes.
and the same afternoon had one of
his teeth knocked out. Folks, I do
not believe that you want these
young athletes to PAY for the priv-
ilege of playing such a strenuous
game.
Yours for better sports,

THE BOOK SEZ
By BLIND TOM

I saw two games last week and
several questions have come from
those who saw other games.
The most common foul I saw
committed other than offsides and
illegal motion was illegal use of
hands by the offense. This brings
a 15-yard 'penalty to the offending
team. Therefore, more work should
be done in avoiding this foul.
The Book sez: "Use of Hands or
Arms-The runner may use hand
or arm to ward off or push any
Jilayer, but he shall not grasp a
teammate. Teammates of the run-
ner shall not push, pull or lift him
nor hold to or encircle each other
to form interlocked interference,
nor use hand, forearm or elbow to
hold, grasp or encircle an oppon-
ent. A teammate of the runner may
block if it does not violate the pass
interference or personal foul rule.
An opponent, of the runner may
tackle or hold the runner or block,
or he may grasp, push or pull a
teammate of the runner provided
it is an actual attempt to get at
the runner. Otherwise he shall not
use hand or arm unless it is to

Starchlng Curtains
Here's a tip for starching curtains
in the washing machine: Use one
part starch to 10 parts water and,
following the manufacturers direc-
tions, make up a batch of starch.
Put four cupfuls of this starch solu-
tion into a washing machine filled to
water line with warm water. The
agitator swishes starch through the
curtains for two or three minutes,
saving motions and minutes.

blocking or attempting to block
him. Penalty: For illegal use of
hands-If by the offense, 15 yards;
if by the defense, 5 yards. If dur-
ing a free ball, loss of ball.

No 'Home Cures'

For Tuberculosis

Advice of Doctor and Treat-
ment At Sanatorium Is
Best for Patient

Just as there are many people
who ill-advisedly try to diagnose
their own and others' illnesses in-
stead of wisely going to a doctor,
there are others who speak of spe-
cific "cures" for tuberculosis, and
one of their favorite 'prescriptions"
is a certain type of food or diet
that will "cure tuberculosis."
Tuberculosis can be cured, but
the best treatment leading to that
cure is rest under medical super-
vision in a tuberculosis sanatorium
or hospital.
Many years ago people falsely
believed that great quantities of
egg nog and raw eggs was the best
possible diet for the tuberculosis
patient, and that they would pro-
mote a cure. Unfortunately, there
'are some who still believe that and
other fallacies concerning the tu-
berculous patient's diet.
We know today that a good, bal-
anced diet, such as is worked out
by dieticians at a sanatorium, is
the best one for the tuberculous
patient. Such a diet is one high in
caloric content and in vitamins that
will build up the strength that the
patient needs to fight his disease.
Moreover, the diet recommended
by the physician for his patient
and prepared by the sanatorium
dietician is just a part, although an
important part, of the tuberculous
patient's treatment. His supervised
Kest-is of paramount importance, as
is any other treatment, such as sur-
gery, that the patients doctor might
deem advisable.
Many people believe that salt,
pepper, tea and coffee are harmful
to the tuberculous patient. These
are not harmful, in themselves, but
again the doctor is the best person
to advise his patient concerning
them. -
There is no "special diet" pre-
scribed for all cases of tuberculo-
sis. Patients and their families are
wise to ignore all well-meaning
suggestions on "curing" foods and
diets by friends and associates.
The advice of the doctor, instead,
should be carefully followed on
food, as on all other matters.

teams.
The Sharks gained 289 yards by
rushing and passing, and Chapman
gained 272 yards. St. Joe was pen-
alized 15 yards and Chapman 50
yards. Three passes out of seven
attempted by the Sharks were com-
pleted.
The Sharks meet the Chipley
high school Tigers here tonight at
8 o'clock on Centennial Field. The
locals are seeking their first win
of the season after two successive
defeats.
The return of Charles Whitehead,
hard-running fullback, to the line-
up will bolster the backfield. How-
ever, Buster Owens is out indefi-
nitely with a shoulder dislocation
suffered in the Chapman game. Bill
Fleming will shift to left half and
Phil Chatham is being groomed for
the right half slot. Bill Davis will
round out the backfield at quarter.
Carlton Padgett is expected to take
over the center post left vacant by
Chatham's shift to right half, and
Bull O'Brian is sparking the Shark
line.
