Carnival Proves Big

Financial Success

King and Queen of Both Ele-
mentary Grades and High
School Crowned

-. .is year's annual Hallowe'en
carnival sponsored by the Parent-
Teacher Association was, as usual,
a big success in all ways, not only
-from the standpoint of attendance
and interest, but also from a finan-
cial standpoint, the organization
netting $370, which will be used
for the local schools.
The carnival started with the
usual parade about 3 o'clock, which
was headed by the high school band
and was composed of various
marching units, floats and decor-
ated cars.
Following the parade, the coro-
nation ceremony of the king and
queen of the elementary grades
took place at the carnival grounds,
which was packed by interested on-
lookers and doting parents and rel-
atives.
As the ceremony opened,' two
pages, Edward Smith and Tommy
Mitchell Jr., marched to the ros-
trum, followed by the king's guard,
Donald Levens, Wayne Davis, John
Wesley and Harry Lee Smith, and
the ladies, in waiting to' the queen,
Anne Kenney, Patsy Daniels, Mar-
tha Jean Hammock and Sonjia
Talley. Then, heads proudly erect,
came their majesties, King John
Miller and Queen Patti Brooks, fol-
lowed by the crown bearers, Jerry
Weeks and Eleanor Wood.
After the king and queen ulad
been seated on their thrones, they
graciously welcomed to their court
a host of characters from Mother
Goose-Jack and Jill, David Har-
vey and Martha Hosenback; Snow
White, Wanda Kennington, and
two dwarfs, Frank Seifert and
Monty Gentry; Little Miss Muffett,
Alice Jean Gay; Little Boy Blue,
Bobby Burkett; Goldilocks, Julia
Brewton; Red Ridinghood, Wilma
Nell Thursbay; Aladdin, Jimmie
Williams; Simple Simon, Raymond
Pickeron; Mary and her little lamb,
Ethel Williams; Little Bo-Peep,
Maxine Walker; Robinhood and his
knight, Blair Shuford and Freddie
Owens; Mistress Mary, Sue Rus-
sell; Peter, Peter Pumpkin Eater
and his wife, Dicky Evans and Bon-
cile McCormick; Daffy Down Dilly,
Delores Chism.
A fitting climax to the festivities
was the senior coronation at 7 p.

Sharks Will Meet

Carrabelle Tonight

Strength of Invaders, Unknown, But
Past Games Indicate Good Tilt

The St. Joe Sharks return to Cen-
tennial Field tonight for "a gridiron
clash with the Carrabelle Mullets
at 8 o'clock.
The locals have won their last
two games and currently have a
record of three won and three lost.
Nothing is known of Carrabelle's
strength. however, past games indi-
cate a hard-fought contest.
Coach Marion Craig reports that
the Sharks are in top physical con-
dition and are ready for the visi-
tors. The starting backfield of Chat-
ham, Owens, Whitehead and Flenm-
ing did not see much action, as a
unit, last week, and should be ready/
for a "T" party tonight.
The line play has improved, ac-
cording to Craig, and better block-
ing 'and tackling is expected at the
game tonight. Bull O'Brien, Carl-
ton Padgett, Ted Beard, Henry Col-
lier, Charles Wilson, Gene Chism
and Ray Lawrence are the heavy
duty boys in the Shark attack.

Arouses Interest

Business Booming As Purchasing
Public Catches On To
Novel Idea

With the inauguration last Fri-
day by the St. Joe Retail Mer-
chants Association of a novel plan
to turn back part of their profits
to those who do business with them
in the way of a big cash distribu-
tion Christmas Eve, business has
taken an upswing in Port St. Joe,
and those business establishments
participating in the plan are jubi-
lant over the apparent success of
the idea after but a week.
In order to take home possibly
$500, $200, $50 or $25, all you have
to do is pay cash for what you buy
between now -and Christmas, or
make payments on account. There
are no strings attached, and you do
not have to be at any particular
spot on Christmas Eve .at 4 p. m.
when the awards are made.
If you have not already entered
.this big $1000 marathon (and who,
we ask, hasn't?) then just go to
any of the business establishments
listed in the ad on page eight of
this issue of The Star and ,ask for
complete details.

County Goes Democratic, But For Who,


By How Much and Why, We Don't Know


St. Joe Sharks Rout

Chattahoochee 50-0

Score In Every Quarter To Down
Non-Conference. Foe

The St. Joe Sharks scored in each
and every period last Friday at
Marianna to take the Chattahoo-
chee Indians down the line 50 to 0.
The game was originally scheduled
for Chattahoochee, but was moved
to Marianna due to the fact that
the Indian's gridiron had not been
completed.
Billy Fleming and Buster Owens-
in the first quarter wrecked any
hopes the Indians may have had
for victory. Fleming handled the
ball only twice in the entire game
and raced for touchdowns on both
occasions, while Owens took the
pigskin for a 60-yard jaunt over the
goal line.
The Sharks chalked up two more
in the second period when Owens
tossed to Lawrence for 20 yards
and Tommy Simpson plunged over
center for the second.
Owens' 55-yard run in the third
was the only tally in that period.
However, he opened up the final
quarter with his fourth touchdown
lope, going 20 yards for the score,
and finished up the Sharks' scoring
with a 52-yard canter across the
goal line.
St. Joe backs piled up 474 yards
rushing and made 90 yards through
the air, for a total of 17 first downs.
The Indians picked up 156 yards on
the turf and another 28 yards via
the aerial route, adding up to 12
first downs. However, a check in-
dicates that most of the Indians'
yardage came against Shark sub-
stitutes and not the first string.

Turkey Shoot Slated

out the balance of the day, as long
as the turkeys hold out and the
marksmen can see the target.
A fish dinner will be served by
Kid Dean at Wimico Lodge for the
benefit of those who rush out to the
shoot without partaking of lunch.

Moose Meet Monday

week.

Edwin McGill of Macon, Ga.,

his parents, Mr. and Mrs. G. E. Mc-

Mr. and Mrs. Marvin Rooks had

Graceville.


Poll Officials Lock Up Re-
sults In Ballot Boxes; Fire
District Is Okehed

Due to the fact that those who
conducted the polls in Tuesday's
election locked up all records in
the ballot boxes when they returned
them to the office of the county
judge, we are unable to give our
readers a thing in the way of fig-
ures for the various precincts.-
We usually get our information
from Judge Earl Pridgeon, but yes-
terday he was as much in the dark
as us, but he did inform us that
-checks on the various precincts be-
fore the counting was finished had
revealed that the county would go
overwhelmingly for President Tru-
man and in the governor's race for
Fuller Warren. .He also stated that
the county fire control measure h'ad
apparently carried.
Little information is available in
daily papers crossing the editorial
desk, except that Amendment No.
1, the controversial gas tax amend-
ment, and Amendment No. 2 were
being rejected all over the state by
approximately two to one. Fate of
the remaining nine amendments is
still in the dark as far as we can
find out.
We -don't have to tell you the re-
sults of the presidential race, for
that was available to everybody by
radio Wednesday morning. How-
ever, for the benefit of anyone who
might read this issue of The Star a
hundred years from now, we'd lie
to say that Truman's overwhelming
victory really upset the predictions
and made monkeys out of Mr. Gal-
lop and Mr. Roper, who conducted
national polls which indicated Tom
Dewey as the champ. We imagine
future polls by these two gentle-
men will be complete flops, as they
will be laughed out of business. A
similar poll conducted in 1932 by
the Literary Digest and which back-
fired, caused that magazine to fold
up.
In Florida, of 1268 of the state's
1523 precincts reporting, Truman
received 243,762 votes, Dewey 172,-
983, J. Strom Thurmond.77,002, and
Hank Wallace 11,287.
Almost as big a shock to the ex-
perts was the recapture of both the
house and senate by the Demo-
crats. The 81st congress will be
Democratic predominantly, headed
by a Democratic administration in
the White House.
That's all we have for you, folks.
Mebbe by next week we'll have the
complete county returns.


Year of New Law Finds
Few Drivers Suspended

Florida's motor vehicle safety re-
sponsibility law was one year old
on October 1, and, during the pe-
riod of its operation 60,000 persons
were involved in accidents which
resulted in injuries or damage. Of
the 60,000 persons involved, only
1300 had their drivers' license sus-
pended.
State Treasurer J. Edwin Lar-
son, Florida's insurance commis-
sioner, stated that 'this iew law
was the greatest eqntri:Jution in
many years to safety on our high-
ways and streets."

Willys-Overland

Adds New Models

Utility Wagon, 6-Cylinder Sta-
tion Wagon, 4-Wheel Drive
Station Wagon Announced
Three new automobile models
have been announced by the \Villys-
Overland Motor Company, being a
four-wheel drive station wagon, a
six-cylinder station wagon, and a
utility wagon.
Tooling is completed and the
models have been entered in pro-
duction schedules, according toHil-
ton Lewis of the M. G. Lewis &
Sons Garage, local distributors.
Similar in exterior appearance to
the Jeep station wagon, the new
vehicles contain numerous interior
changes to broaden the versatility
of the Willys-Overland line.
The four-wheel drive station wa-
gon, first produced last spring on a
special army order, is being made
available to the civilian market in
response to a steady stream of in-
quiries indicating the need for such
a vehicle, Lewis said.
The utility wagon is a simplified
version of the station wagon, with
all seats but the driver's removed,
and without the overdrive, which is
standard equipment on the station
wagon.
The six-cylinder station wagon, is
powered by the new Willys-Over-
land engine which has been road
tested and proven in the station se-
dan. The engine is rated at 70 h. p.
"Introduction of the new vehicles
again demonstrates the broad range
afforded by the Willys-Overland
line by the high degree of inter-
changeability incorporated in its
design," Lewis said. He pointed out
that the Willys-Overland line now
consists of 10. different models.

Our Country f-"-.' Right or Wrong

COMES THE SEASON OF THE YEAR
Residents of Port St. Joe and Gulf county love
their hunting season-and why shouldn't they?
The variety and abundance of game in Gulf
county offers a challenge which every hunter in
this section is eager to meet.
The hunting season officially opens on No-
vember 20 and hunters are asked to observe
strictly the bag limits for the reason that by ob-
servance of our game laws by everyone, there
will be plenty of good hunting for all, and if the
bag Imits are observed, this happy state of af-
fairs will continue through the years to come.
Those who in their enthusiasm for the sport
of hunting violate the bag limits or disregard the
game conservation laws will surely destroy the
thing they love if they continue such practices
for long.
It is the duty of every sportsman to protect
the game fields by observing the law himself
and by reporting any game law violations he
may observe. In this way, and in this way only,
will there continue to be game in plenty in Gulf
county and a field for the hunter to shoot over.

.A couple of weeks ago we had a small hole
to fill on page nine, and did so with the follow-
ing: "Wallace Finlay, publisher of the County
Record at Blountstown, was a visitor in town
Monday. He was a visitor at The Star office and
gave us his usual line. If we were as big and
husky and ugly as Wallace and had the soft bu-
reaucratic job he's got, we wouldn't have a care
in the world." So, heaping coals of fire upon our
head, Wallace last week in his paper replied:
"Note to Smith of-St. Joe's Star: You aren't kid-
ding when you say what you say about ribbing,
are you? I must not have told you about the 16
hour day I _usually put in. Incidentally, The Star
is one of the most readable of West Florida's
weeklies. It is a one-man show, too. This compli-
ment is directed at that man, and it is sincere, no
part of a line. (How is that for coals of fire,
Smitty?)" You win, Wallace. Your words are
as the voice of the siren, you have the classic
features of a Greek god, the build of a Hercules,
and you conduct your job with the zeal of a pa-
triot and the wisdom of a Solmon, giving your
all for the benefit of downtrodden humanity,
even though it wreck your health, cause your
hair to fall out and create dissension between
you and your wife. We bow our head in shame
for the uncouth remarks we made regarding your
verbosity, your physiognomy and your torso.

Legion Completes Armistice Plans

bration planned by the American

the day here, are complete. Na-

NAILING DOWN A 'SPECIAL PRIVILEGE'
Millions of Americans went to the polls Tues-
day to elect the candidates of their choice. When
a man can "elect" to do this or that, he is a free
man. A man has a sense of dignity, of worth, of
self-respect-a state of wellbeing money cannot
buy-when he can elect to speak out, or to write,
for or against someone or something.
This freedom of "election" has been banished
from the public policy of nation after nation.
Everywhere today, man, the individual, is sub-
mitting to various degrees of enslavement thru
regimentation. Minority's voice is silent, free
discussion gone, one's own life is directed in its
most intimate details, the right to elect, to
choose-these inalienable rights are denied mil-
lions upon millions of men and women today.
"Election" by the individual has always had
to fight for its life. The real issue is not out in
the open. No ambitious ruler ever announces
that he is taking something away from the indi-
vidual. He promises much. He presents a bar-
gain. He does not disclose his hand. He never
shows the price tag. No dictator ever described
himself as a dictator, as bent upon destroying
man's freedom of choice. He has a "Plan," a five-
year plan or a ten-year plan. He does not tell
the people a simple truth, which they should
know for themselves-that every economic plan
to be successful means they must be moulded
into it.
Discipline and compiulsion-the antithesis of
freedom-is written large on the back of every
blueprint of political planners. Such plans are
full of "musts." "Must" is the first word in the
vocabulary of a dictator; it is repugnant to a free
American like you and I.
We have chosen our president by the votes of
a majority. The highest attribute of a free man
,is that freedom to exercise his choice at the bal-
lot box. This right to elect causes the American
to walk with a swing such as is seen on not many
highways of the world, makes him grovel before
no one, stand in awe of no man. The ballot box
makes him a peer, in fact, a free man. As a free
man, he can every so often choose his political
servant, can elect the agent to represent him and
his views. He can repudiate and renounce his
representative democracy and can set up instead
a monarchy, communism, or indeed, a dictator-
ship. He can abolish courts and institute a Star
Chamber. He can vote away every vestige of law
and order and duty and restraint. He can vote
himself out as master and make his political
servant his divine ruler. He thus whittles away
his freedom of choice.
By the same token he can, through his intelli-
genqe and vigilance, preserve it for himself and
his children.

Truman's proposed socialized medicine pro-
gram is meeting with a quite a bit of opposition.
Harry probably feels that any administration
that has made the people as sick as his has,
should certainly furnish them free medicine.


Observing the average person's handwriting

being 25 to 13.
7th Grade In Charge of Chapel
The seventh grade of the local
school, under the supervision of
Mrs. Eula Pridgeon, was in charge
of the chapel program last Friday.
The program was opened with a
Bible reading by Carolyn Baggett,
followed with songs by members
of the seventh grade girls' glee
club. Albert Gagneiux rendered a
harmonica solo and Amelia Gibson
and Onnie LeHardy gave a tap
dance number. E. Clay Lewis Jr.,
then gave a short talk on the school
boy patrol being sponsored by the
American Legion post.

Home Demonstration Club
Studies Interior Decorating


The White City Home Demon-
stration Club met Tuesday of last
week at the community building
with eight members present.
Mrs. Wilma Revell, the home
demonstration agent, led a discus-
sion on interior decorating, stress-
ing color schemes. She then gave
a fascinating demonstration on the
art of etching glass, taking an in-
expensive water pitcher and trans-
forming it into a beautiful piece of
glassware. This work can be done
on glasses, fish bowls, ash trays or
any smooth glass surface. This was
very interesting to the ladies, due
to the problem of Christmas gifts
just around the corner.
The club is happy to announce
that the roof on the community
building has been completed, and
desires to thank the people of
White City and surrounding com-
munities for their splendid co-oper-
ation through their donations and
participation in the various activi-
ties sponsored by the club in order
to finance this project.

new Hudson


Come in, see the car that's years
ahead-drive the New Hudson-
experience the amazing roadability,
comfort and safety of the only car
you step down into!
Here's your chance to get the thrill of
a real discovery-to see and feel what'
one of the great advances in motor-car
history offers you.
You'll see a Hudson of distinguished,
streamlined beauty and low-built sil-
houette that is instantly recognizable
because it is the natural result of a basi-
cally new design principle-a principle
that puts this car so far ahead it is a
protected investment in motor-car value!
The key to this new design principle is
a recessed floor. The New Hudson is the
'only car you step doi'n into!
By using a "step-down" zone in an exclu-
sive. all steel Monobilt Body-and-frame*,
Hiudson achieves the lowest car on the
highway-only five feet from ground to
top-while maintaining more head room
than in any mass-produced car built today!
But no amount of looking at this amaz-
ing car-beautiful as it is-can equal the
thrill of a Hudson ride! And you are
invited to enjoy that ride today!
Hudson has a smooth, hug-the-road way


of going in cross-winds and on every con-
ceivable kind of highway. When you see
the way it takes even the sharpest curves,
you'll know once' again that this car has
"The modern design for '49"--and for
years to come!
Hudson's remarkable ride is largely due
to the fact that its "step-down" design
provides the lowest center of gravity in
any American stock car-yet road clear-
ance is ample! It is a widely recognized
fact that the lower to the ground a car
can be built, the more stability it will
have and the safer it will be.
You sense a delightful conformity to the
road the minute you begin your ride,
and this stability, plus the protection of
riding encircled by a sturdy box-section
steel frame, is a grand experience in
serene, safe well-being.
This grand feeling is further heightened
by the remarkable ease with which this
car is controlled. 'You enjoy
this generous roo:niness in corn- 1
plete relaxation a.s the New
Iludson glides smoothly along.
We cordially iuvite you to see
and drive the New Hlidson, to
thoroughly enjoy the ride that
comes only with "The modern ,
design for '49!"


HUDSON FLOORS are recessed down within the frame (as shown
above), seats are lowered, so you get, more than ample head'
room in this car with the new, lower center of gravity.
YOU RIDE DOWN within a base frame (as shown above)',.
and rear seals are positioned ahead of the rear wheels so that
full body width becomes available for wonderfullyjoomy seats.
Box-section steel girders completely encircle an.T p otect the-
passenger compartment.
TRY AUTOMATIC GEAR SHIFTING in forward speeds as provided
-by IHudson's Drive-Master transmission-by far the easiest of
all ways to drive. You can accelerate as long and as fast as yow
like in pick-up gear, then lift your toe momentarily, and you're'
in high. The shift into high comes only when you are ready
Button control on the instrument panel provides instant change
*to conventional driving if ever desired. Drive-Master trans-
mission is optional on all New IIudsons at small extra cosa

Members of Congress Are Due
To Move Upward On
Many Committees
The shift of party control in the
Slst congress will give Florida
members unprecedented power in
committees, a survey shows.
Senator Claude Pepper, consist-
ent foe of the Taft-Hartley labor
act, will wield powerful influence
as chairman of a senate labor and
public welfare subcommittee. He
will be second ranking member of
the full committee, and he will also
move up to sixth place oni the sen-
ate agriculture committee.
Senator Spessard L. Holland, who
is midway in his first term, will be-
come ranking member of the sen-
ate district committee and possibly
its chairman. But he will assume
a more important position as third
ranking member of the senate pub-
lic works committee. In the latter
assignment he will have consider-
able say on matters pertaining to


Florida flood control.
On the house side, Representa-
tive Bob Sikes of Crestview will
become the sixth ranking member
of the house armed services com-
mittee and likely a subcommittee
chairman of this important group.
Rep. George A. Smathers of Mi-
ami. unless he seeks other com-
mittee assignment, will be the
sixth ranking member of the house
administration committee.
Rep. Dwight L. Rogers of Fort
Lauderdale will be eighth ranking
member of the important house in-
terstate and foreign commerce,com-
mittee.
Rep. J. Hardin Peterson of Lake-
land will become ranking member
of the house public lands commit-
tee and a sure-shot for a subcom-
mittee chairmanship. At the same
time he will be the second ranking
member of the house un-Anmerican
activities committee.
The two new members of conr-
gress from Florida, Representa-
tives Charles E. Bennett of Jack-
sonville and Sid Herlong of. Lees-
burg, will receive their committee
assignments at the beginning of
next year.

When Florida's woods burn, dol-
lars go up in smoke.

P.-T. A. CARNIVAL

(Continued from page 1)
m. when Frank Young and Merita
Sutton of the eleventh grade were
crowned king and queen by Chief
Justice of the Supreme Court Gene
Chism.
The royal couple were attended
by Sara Ceva Philyaw and Grahamp
Harvey of the 12th grade; Virginia
Gloekler and Raymond Lawrence
from the 10th grade; Doris Rich
and Waring Murdock from the 9th
grade; Karlene Campbell, Leroy
Gainous, Mary Katherine Stevens
and Benny Corbin from the 8th
grades, and Jadine Fleming and
Bobby McKnight from the 7th
grades.
Four charming little misses from
the first grades served as flower
girls, Brenda Brodnax,' Marianne
Pitts, Bonnie Whitfield and Bar-
bara Ann Linton. Patrick McFar-
land, crown bearer, was acconm-
panied by Dorothy Dormany, who
carried the queen's bouquet. The
various events were announced by
Bobby Ramsey.
It is pointed out by members of
the P.-T. A. that, in accordance with
rules of the organization, there
were no games of chance in opera-
tion this year at the carnival.

County Agent Cubie Laird was a
visitor in The Star office Tuesday
to pay up his subscription and dis-
cuss crops, etc. He seemed a bit
surprised to find that we operate
our shop with no help. We informed
him twarn't nothing and pointed
out that he covered an entire
county (literally, he's almost big
enough to do it, too).
