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.

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.

Merchants' Xmas Cash Distribution 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.

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 By Local Moose Lodge The ldcal Moose lodge is spon- soring an old-time turkey shoot at White City on November 17 for the benefit of the Christmas basket fund, and the public is cordially invited to participate. Festivities will get underway at 12 noon and will continue through- 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 Loyal Order of Moose Lodge No. 1035 will have a regular meeting next Monday night at the Moose home. All members are urged to attend and visiting brothers are invited. ---------------- Here From Texas Mrs. J. C. Brozeal and daughter Teresa of Amarilla, Texas, are here for a two weeks' vacation with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Tra- week. Visits Parents Edwin McGill of Macon, Ga., spent Tuesday here as the guest of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. G. E. Mc- Gill. Have Guest From Graceville Mr. and Mrs. Marvin Rooks had as their guest last week-end the former's uncle, C. W. Williams of 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."

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. .Hearing To Be Held Here To Transfer Trucking Privilege Public hearing on the application of Jack N.

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. 10 YEARS AGO, From the Files of The Star Legion Completes Armistice Plans The committee in charge of prep- arations for the Armistice Day cele- bration planned by the American Legion, the first real observance of the day here, are complete. Na- tional guard units from Apalachi- cola and Panama City will be pres- ent and the Marianna Legion post will bring 200 war veterans sta- tioned at a nearby CCC camp. Pub- Jic speaking will be held in the 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.

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.

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.

GULF COUNTY, FLORIDA PAGE SEVEN > Higher Posts Sure For Six State Solons 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.
