HELP PROMOTE SPORT ST. JOE BY JOINING THE JUNIOR CHAMBER OF COMMERCE THE STAR If We Can't "Rib" Our Readers, We Don't Want 'Em To Read This Rag VOLUME XII PORT ST. JOE, FLORIDA, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1948 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 (Coontinued on page 8) --------- --_- Mrs. Mary L.

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." ' (Continued on Page 3) ----------- I -X 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." -------^----- Week-end Guests Edwin McGill of Macon, Ga., and Mrs. Margaret Bounds and children and Mrs. Mary Skipper of Panama City were week-end guests of Mr. and Mrs..G.

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 (Continued on page 7) James H.

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 (Continued on page 6) -K Local Painter Presents Warren With Portrait Mrs. Karlene Owens, who has painted a number of portraits of well known local and state indi- viduals, Thursday of last week, at Blountstown, presented Fuller War- ren with his portrait.

"TRADE AT HOME" SPEND YOUR MONEY WITH LOCAL MERCHANTS AND GET ANOTHER SHOT AT IT NUMBER 2 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.

W 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. replacing Bill Turner, who resigned to go into business for himself. Sharks Lose To Wewa The St. Joe high school Sharks football team jouneyed to Wewa- hitchka last Friday to take a 20 to 8 beating in a non-conference tilt. The loss was accounted for due to the fact that a shifted lineup was used against a crack Wewa sextet.

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 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." ~I Politics At Meet Will Center Around Races For Com- mander and Chaplain The concern of the American Le- gion over the care of disabled vet- erans, national security and promo- tion of Americanism and education through youth training is reflected by National Commander James F.

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 iIIIIlUlll 1iillIIIIIIillilililiillll llll l lllllllllllillillllnlllllll GIRL SCOUT NEWS IIIIIIIIUIIIIIIII lIII lIIIIIIIllIIIIIIIllIIIIIIIll uIIIIIIIIIlliIl The Girl Scouts met at the par- ish house Tuesday afternoon and each of the four patrols were given patrol books.

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. CHAPMAN HIGH (Continued from page 1) teams.
