New Methodist

Church Building

Rising Steadily


Will Have Auditorium To Seat
400, Educational Section, and
Provision for Organ, Chimes
and Modern Conveniences.

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.
When this building is completed
and the grounds developed, this will
be one of the beauty spots of the
city.
The building, of concrete block
:and brick construction, will contain
an auditorium with a seating ca-
pacity of 410, ;nd the educational
building will accommodate 400. Pro-
visions are made in the plans for
indirect lighting, organ, chimes,
visual education, a central heating
system and air conditioning.
We plan to work continuously on.
.the building and get it ready for
service as quickly as possible. We
watch with anxiety and joy the ris-
ing of the walls to overlook the
,pines. 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 their third game of the 1948

ing for the Sharks in the first quar-
ter when he raced around left end
for the first score, the extra point
being made on a toss by Buster
Owens to Gene Chism in the end

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

P.-T. A. 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."
"The present program of educa-
tion of boys and girls would be

Canal Bridge Soon Will

Sport Automatic Gates

Warning Lights and Bell Will Also
Be Installed Says Bayless

Representative George Tapper in-
forms us that since he recently al-
most drove his car through the
open draw span at the White City
canal bridge that he has been rlais-
ing sand with the state road de-
partment anent putting automatic
gates and warning lights on the
structure, and that Wednesday he
received a letter from Elgin Bay-
less, head of the road department
and for whom the bridge was dedi-
cated, saying that the necessary
equipment has been ordered and
will be installed shortly.
It will consist of an installation
similar to that at Highland View,
automatic electric gates with warn-
ing lights and a bell.
Two deaths have occurred since
tthe bridge was opened, due to mo-
torists crashing through.the flimsy
wooden barriers before they no-
ticed them and could stop. These
deaths probably could have been
avoided had there been warning
lights on the approaches.

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.

jars of Gulf county's famous tupelo
honey among delegates to the con-
vention. The honey was provided
at cost by Ben Dickens Jr., and each

ing "Compliments of Port St. Joe

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

Our Country Right or Wrung

WHAT TIME IS IT?
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.

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.

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."

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.
