By REV. LOYD W. TUBB After several delays. work is now progressing rapidly on the new TMethodist Church on "The Point" at the intersection of Monument Avenue and Constitution Drive.

Now we look to the day When the church, with its lofty spire, overlooks St. Josephs Bay and stands .as .a mighty beacon of peace to all who enter our fair city either by land or by sea., The members of our church rise to the glorious challenge of this hour. We solicit the prayers and goodwill of all Christians,- our friends, and the citizens of Port St. Joe.

In the second quarter, Philip Chatham rats 60 yards down the sideline for the second counter, with Owens' kick accounting for the extra point. The third quarter saw two more scores added for the Sharks, with Gene Chism taking a 20-yard pass from Owens in the end zone which was good for six points, and Ray- mond Lawrence pulling a like stunt, with Owens kicking success- fully for the extra point.

Asked To Turn Thumbs Down On 2 Amendments Organization Head Urges All Members To Inform Voters What Amendments Mean To Schools If They Are Passed Mrs. Floyd J. Griffin of Tynpa, president of the Florida Congress of Parents and Teachers, this week called upon the P.-T. A. to make "an all-out effort to defeat the first two constitutional amendments." In a letter received here by Mrs. Charles Brown, president of the Port St. Joe Parent-Teacher Asso- ciation, Mrs. Griffin urges her to meet with the school principal and teachers "to inform the voters of what the amendments will mean to the schools and why it is neces- sary to defeat them." Calling present state school funds "insufficient to meet the current outlay," the P.-T. A, leader said "passage of Amendment No. 1 will mean that the schools will lose over six million dollars in revenue."

County Plannng To Have Two Floats At Warren Inaugural St. Joe To Feature Monument and Locomotive, and Wewa- hitchka Will Stress Fishing and Famous Tupelo Honey. At a meeting of the Fuller War- ren for Governor committee held Tuesday in Wewahitchka, it was decided that Gulf county would en- ter two floats in the monster in- augural parade to be held next Jan- uary in Tallahassee when Fuller Warren takes over as governor of Florida. J. L. Sharit was named as chair- man of the float committee for Port St. Joe and C. L. Morgan will head the Wewahitchka committee. It was decided that the float to be entered from Port St. Joe will carry the replica of the locomotive that pulled cars over the St. Joseph & Iola Railroad back in 1836, and which was Florida's first railway line, and also a replica of the mon- ument that marks the site of the first constitutional. convention held at old St. Joseph in 1838. The Wewahitchka entry, we un- derstand, will consist of a lai-ge glass case filled with .water and stocked with fish from the Dead Lakes. The tank will sit amidst tupelo and moss-draped cypress trees and a small colored boy will be happily fishing. Also on the float will be beehives and jars of the ' orld-fa;ni..us tupelo'honey.

The honey was provided at cost by Ben Dickens Jr., and each jar carried a label on the back read- ing "Compliments of Port St. Joe Kiwanis Club, Port St. Joe, Fla." Has Cataract Removed From Eye We met George Johnson on the street the other day with a poul- tice over his left eye and when we asked who he'd been arguing with he informed us that he'd had a cat- aract removed from his eye by a Dothan, Ala., specialist.

OCTOBER 15, 1948 THE STAR, PORT ST. JOE, GULF COUNTY, FLORIDA Road Association Bemoans Diversion of Highway Taxes Points Out That 36% of Use Taxes Are Being Diverted For Purposes Other Than Construction of Roads. The announcement in Washing- ton by the National Highway Users Conference, citing Florida with di- verting $20,752,200 of highway user taxes to ion-highway purposes last year, has been noted with interest by the Florida Good Roads Associ- ation. which has been actively working for the passage of Amend- ment No. 1 to the state constitu- tion. This proposed amendment would stop a portion of the diversion cen- sured by the national organization. The administrative committee pro- tested what it called "an inexcus- able rise of 80 per cent in one year in the amount of highway user taxes diverted by (all) the states to non-highway purposes." The committee zaid: "The advo- cates of increased taxation tf the highway user and the advocates of the double-tax roads, contend that present highway user revenues are inadequate to build the roads our country needs. We cannot reconcile some of these demands with the in- excusable diversion in many states of present record revenues.'" The committee said Florida diverted 36 per cent of its highway user taxes, placing the state among the leaders in the country. The Florida Highway Users' Con- ference, meeting recently in Jack- sonville, received the platform when Marvin Holloway, president of the AAA Motor Cliib conference, said, "This post-war period to date has been a trying time for highway de- ,partments as well as 'motorists not only in Florida, but in practically every state of the Union. We who, have such a large stake in highway development need a definitive and affirmative statement of highway policy. This platform will lead to unparalleled progress in highway improvement throughout Florida." With regard to future road pro- grams, it recommends sound long- range plans developed through ade- quate representation of highway users on highway planning bodies. Besides advocating that the field of gasoline taxation be left entirely to the states, the platform declares that registration fees and gasoline taxes are fair 'in principle when the revenue is used for highway pur- poses and when the cost of roads is fairly apportioned among all who benefit from them.

Nowadays, there isn't anything very compli- cated about the time of day. Most of the year the country runs on Standard,Time, and during the summer a large section of it moves the clock hands ahead and hour and switches to Daylight Saving Time. As we cross the nation, the time :zones change at established intervals, and in all cases the change is one hour. It's simple enough. The editor of The Star, always of a curious nature in regard to such things, wondered just when and why this arrangement was made, and, by consulting the old reliable encyclopedia, we found that it wasn't always that way-and it might not be that way yet if it hadn't been for the railroads. Sixty-five years ago Standard Time didn't exist. Every 'own had its own time, and even some business concerns had their own par- ificular time. Railroad stations held a confusing series of clocks-each line used the time in ef- feet where its home office was located. Matters -went to such lengths, as an example, that in Tittsburgh there were six different times in use. }Few people knew what time it really was. You ,couldn't be sure when an appointment was scheduled unless, by lucky chance, the person you were to meet used the same time as you did! The railroads realized that something had to be ,done to bring order out of this chaos. The hun- dreds of different times in effect throughout the country were a constant and growing headache. The movement to standardize time began in 1872. And eleven, years later, on November 18, 1883, every railroad clock was stopped, at a cer- tain hour. When they started again, Standard Time, with its four time zones, was a going con- ,cern in the United States. It was gradually ac- cepted by the people, and 35 years later con- gress recognized Standard Time and made it of- ficial. And that is why Port St. Joe is on Eastern :Standard Time,, along with Apalachicola, while Wewahitchka is on Central Standard Time. The Apalachicola River, theoretically is the time- (change division, but since the Apalachicola Northern Railroad crosses the river to operate in the eastern time zone, we have Eastern Stan- ,dard Time. U. S. WILL GET TOUGH WITH RUSSIA --AFTER THE ELECTION News services said, at the endA of September, that the English people were reluctantly coming to fear, for the first time, that war was a possi- bility. Up to then, they had felt that the situa- tion was somewhat exaggerated, would be solved in one fashion or another, and that no power would be so insane as to plunge the world into another holocaust. The change in sentiment was undoubtedly caused by the British government's announce- ment that demobilization would be slowed, that the armed services would be built up, and that civilian defense activities would be immediately accelerated. Too, top British officials, in the for- eign office and elsewhere, have demonstrated an increasing pessimism. Yet, in this country the feeling still runs against an inevitable war. There will be many more incidents, and the talk will get increasingly acrimonious. Yet everyone knows that the U. S. will not precipitate a shooting war, and no one can bring themselves to believe that Russia is in a position to fight one. She is carrying on a tough and extremely intensive plan for building up her military strength and ,her industrial po- tential, but it is a long way from completion. Her production of essential materials, notably steel, is so far below ours as to make comparison nearly impossible. And our scientists, almost to a man, are sure that she does not yet have atomic weapons in anything resembling a useable form -and some say hopefully that it may be many years before she has them. In any event, once the election is over, we will probably get still tougher in our dealings with Russia. And look for a big increase in military expenditures, plus a step-up in the draft, at about the same time. One of our local business men told us the other. day that he can seldom find a place to park his car on Reid Avenue when he's 'downtown on business, due partly to the fact that those who operate businesses on our main drag park their cars in front of their stores and leave 'em there all day. We told him we'd noticed that fact, too, and that it was so bad that wd generally walked rather than. hunt for a parking place (and we hate walking). What these business men appar- ently don't realize is that they are hurting their own business by monopolizing these parking spaces. If the town was a little bigger, we'd sug- gest that the city dads put in parking meters. Best bet would be to pass a one-hour parking limit from First to Fifth Street along Reid. Henry Wallace has described the South as a place where Christian gentlemen have turned into raving beasts and good mothers and wives into Jezebels. Wonder what we'd turn into if Wallace was elected president? Zebras, probably. What with the world series, football games and political speeches fouling up the air, even the give-away programs are having a hard time getting on 'the air waves.

JOE, GULF COUNTY, FLORIDA FRIDAY, OCTOBER 15, 1948 FRDY OCOE 5 98TESAPR T OGL ONY LRD AEFV TIME FOR PLANTING ANNUAL FLOWERS IS HERE, SAYS WATKINS Florida flower gardeners who have. been waiting for the season to plant annuals for winter and spring bloom may now get busy, according to John V. Watkins, hor- ticulturist with the University of Florida College of Agriculture. Usually a better stand of plants is obtained by sowing seeds in flats (shallow boxes of fertile soil) instead of open ground, as condi- tions are more easily controlled in -flats. Sterilization of the soil be- fore planting by heating to 160 de- .grees for two hours by treating with semesan, spergon, fermate or other fungicide to control damping- off is important. Watkins says. He listed the following annuals for planting now: alyssum, baby's breath, blanket flower, blue-eyed African daisy, butterfly flower, cal- endula, California poppy, carnation, calliopsis, candytuft, Chinese for- getmetnot. clarkia, double English daisy, cornflower, Flora's paint- brush, gilia, godetia, hollyhock. hunnemania, larkspur, leptosyne, lobelia, lupine, mignonette, mourn- ing bride, Moroccan toad flax, nico- tiana, orange African daisy, pansy, painted tongue, petunia, poppies, phlox, pinks, scarlet flax, statice. snapdragon, stock, and sweet pea.

Seven-Cent Coin Bill Is Introduced In Congress With the proposed introduction of a seven-cent coin, producers of a five-cent item may get some relief without becoming involved with bothersome odd-amount prices, or raising the price to a dime, legisla- tive proponents believe up there in Washington-on-the-Potomac. Members of both major political parties are lining up behind a pro- posal for a new coin which may clear the way for seven-cent candy bars, newspapers and juke bokes in the near future. Momentum behind the proposal for the odd-amount coin has picked up since newspaper publishers be- gan to take into consideration a further increase in newsstand and street sales prices. Bills for a seven-cent coin have been intro- duced in congress by Representa- tive John McCormack (Dem.) of Massachusetts and Representative What GOES INTO PRESCRIPTION? Fred Busbey (Rep.) of Illinois. After .he had introduced the bill tin the house. Rep. McCormack said that its conception came after a visit with a representative of "one of the biggest newspaper chains in the country" who had told him that his organization feared it would have to increase the price of its daily papers to seven cents. Newspaper publishers throughout the country are reportedly inter- ested in a coin which would enable them to raise their prices without going to a dime. ----+--- The nation will have statesmen in congress when statesmanship can get votes. 41 I GOP May Have Surprise Coming Says Demo Head Intensive Campaign To Hold Line In Florida To Be Made; Predicts Rising Costs Will Cause Women To Be Active Plans for an intensive campaign through the month of October and up to and including election day, November 2. to be conducted by the state Democratic executive committee in co-operation with 3000 men and women who carry the Democratic "torch' year in and year out in Florida's 1500 precincts, wbre announced yesterday by Alex D. Littlefield of Daytona Beach, chair- man of the state committee. The announcement followed a conference between Littlefield, Na- tional Democratic Committeeman Jerry Cartelr of Tallahassee, and other men and women party lead- ers, as well as of the headquarters staff in Jacksonville. Littlefield said the regular lines are holding remarkably well thru- out the 67 counties, and "it is my prediction," he added, "that the Re- publicans who feel that they might have Florida in their pocket, so to speak, will find themselves sur- prised when the ballots are counted in November. "We shall carry on an intensive campaign without delay and the is- sues will be brought out into the light of day," Littlefield continued, "and we shall not hesitate to re- mind the people of the sad record of non-performance the Republi- cans carved for themselves when they last were in control of the national government. "And I predict," concluded Little- field, "that the Democratic women of Florida will prove most active, because they have a day-to-day ex- perience of how the cost barometer has been going up since the Repub- licans have been dominating legis- lation in Washington."

JOE, FLORIDA Schools Carnnot Operate If 7th Cent Taken Away Committee Head Says Present Program Would Be Endan- gered If Amendment One Is Okehed By Voters of State The 1949 school program cannot operate if the seventh cent of gas tax is taken away from the schools, says E. B. Henderson of Tallahas- see. "Amendment No. 1 the so- called gas tax amendment will very seriously endanger Florida's present school program," he de- clared. Henderson, soon to take office as executive secretary of the Florida Education Association, has been named to head the state school co- ordinating committee campaign to defeat the amendment. He said "if^ Amendment No. 1 passes, the schools of Florida will have to begin all over again to. seek state revenue to make up for the nearly $7,000,000 loss," and went on to point out that many school officials believe a deficiency appropriation may even be neces- sary to maintain Florida's present school program. "k addition," he said, "more money will surely be needed next year." Calling Florida's school program "one of the best in the nation," Hendersoh said 'the state will not be able to continue the operation of a school system which has made Florida the envy of the nation un- less this dangerous amendment is defeated." The school leader said school' people are agreed on a campaign to defeat amendments 1 and 2. "Both these amendments hurt our schools and the educational oppor- tunities of our school children. They must be defeated," he con- , cluded. MOOSE AND JUNIOR (Continued from page 1) was deemed best for a Hallowe'en party and dance.
