Nimrods Readying


for Hunting Season


Opening and Closing Dates In
All Districts Almost Iden-
tical For First Time

Gulf county nimrods, along with
thousands all over the state, are
oiling their guns in anticipation of
the state's general hunting season
which opens November 24. In fact,
Dan Brooks reports that he is just
about out of gun oil at his sport-
ing goods store.
Opening and closing dates, set
by the state game and fresh water
fish commission, are substantially
identical in all districts for the
first time in history.
Throughout the state the deer
season ends January 5, and turkey
hunting will close February 1.
With the exception of the Third
District (that's us), quail and
squirrel season will end February
1. It extefids until February 20 in
our district. Marsh hen hunting
will be allowed in all districts un-
til February 1, except in Nassau,
Duval and St. Johns counties,
where an earlier season will end
November 20.
Deer and turkey hunting will be
banned in Alachua, Bradford, Clay
and Union counties and in parts
of Baker Columbia and Suwannee
counties. No deer hunting will be

Sharks In 46-0 Win

Over Carrabelle High

Played DeFuniak Yesterday, and
Meet Bonifay Next Friday

The St. ',Joe High Sharks took
the Carabelle Mullet gridsters to
the tune of 46 to 0 last Friday eve-
ning in a game played at Centen-
nial Field under the floodlights.
The St. Joe lads got away to a
slow start, shoving over but one
touchdown in the first quarter, but
came back for two more in the sec-
ond, one in the third and three in
the last quarter, while holding the
invaders scoreless.
Billy Fleming was credited with
the first counter when he went
through the center of the Carra-
belle line from the five-yard mark.
The extra point was accounted for
by a pass from Buster Owens to
Gene Chism.
Owens was responsible for the
two touchdowns scored in the sec-
ond quarter, racing 15 yards to
score one and passing 15 yards to
Raymond Lawrence for another.
Philip Chatham opened the' third
quarter with a 35-yard dash to pay-
dirt and Owens booted the conver-
sion. The Sharks pushed over
three more touchdowns in the final
stanza to complete the route. Char-
lie Whitehead skirted right end for
35 yards for the first, Owens went
around left end for 30 yards for
the second, and Bobby Gibson
aaded the final score from the one-
yard line.
St. Joe chalked up 474 yards on
the ground and another 60 via the
aerial route, while holding the visi-
tors to 102 on the ground and 37 in
the air.
The Sharks went to DeFuniak
Springs yesterday for an Armistice
Day game and will play the Boni-
fay team here next Friday.

County Goes


Democratic By


S Big Majority


Voters Turn Thumbs Down On
Amendments 1 and 2 But
Okeh Other Nine

The law sez those who conduct
the polls at an election shall post
the results of the balloting outside
the polling places when they are
through with the count. .. It's
never been done in the 12 years
we've been publishing this rag,
consequently we have one heck of
a time getting election results.
We've just now got the results
of the November 2 election, but
only the county totals (thanks to
Judge Earl Pridgeon). Hereafter
we hope to get all election returns
by precincts, even if we have to go
around to the various polling
places and threaten mayhem to
those conducting the polls, in order
that they might post complete re-
turns when they're through, instead
of sealing 'em up in the ballot box
and compelling us to wVait until
the county commissioners open the
boxes for the official canvass.
Anyway, now that that's off our
chest, we find (belatedly) that
Gulf county went overwhelmingly
Democratic, giving President Tru-
man 1219 votes and Fuller Warren
1310 out of a total of 1580. Thur-
mond received 209, Dewey 146, and
Wallace 5 (who're those five radi-
cals, anyway?). In the governor's
race, Fuller got 1310 votes against
Bert Acker's 33.
On the amendments, the people
of Gulf county stood with the rest
of the state and voted down amend-
ments one and two. On the remain-
ing nine amendments they gave
their okeh to all. Results of the
county fire control plan will be
found in another column.

Fire Control Plan

Will Be Effective Next July If
State and Federal Funds
Become Available

Voters of Gulf county favored
overwhelmingly the proposal on
the November 2 ballot that the
county join with the state and fed-
eral forest services for fire protec-
tion in our timberlands. The vote
was 631 for the proposal and 74
against.
Twelve counties previously had
fire control contracts with the
Florida Board of Forestry and
Parks, being Escambia, Bay, Cal-
houn, Madison, Alachua, Duval, St.
Johns, Volusia, Orange, Pinellas,
Hillsborough and Dade. The addi-
tional counties going in on the pro-
posal, besides Gulf, were Ocaloosa,
Santa Rosa, Walton, Holmes, Leon,
Washington, Jackson, Clay, Frank-
lin, Liberty, Wakulla, Leon, Colum-
bia, Nassau, Levy, Marion, Lee and
Lake.
This means that all of Northwest
Florida will now have protection,
in addition to the other counties
in various parts of the state. The
new counties place approximately
5,000,000 more acres under protec-
tion in addition to the previous 7,-
565,874 acres already under pro-

Sons and fathers got together
Monday evening of last week at

by Rev. Loyd W. Tubb; allegiance
to the flag and country, by Jack

Contributions and Pledges Up
To Yesterday Had Passed
the $40,000 Mark

What we consider one of the
most startling achievements ever
to come to pass in Port St. Joe took
place Thursday evening of last
week when members of the First
Methodist Church, 120 strong, gath-
ered at the parish house for a "For-
ward Step Banquet" and during the
course of the evening raised a to-
tal of $30,100 in order that con-
struction might proceed on the new
church building being erected at
the intersection of Monument Ave-
nue and Constitution Drive.
Presiding at the banquet, which
was prepared and served by ladies
of the church, was Nobie Stone,
who after a few remarks by J. L.
Sharit and Rev. Loyd W. Tubb, in-
troduced the speaker of the eve-
ning, Dr. Laurie G. Ray, pastor of
the Lake Wales Methodist Church.
Dr. Ray presented the plan, which
was to raise $30,000 in a five-day
drive, and then asked for contribu-
tions. One by one the members re-
sponded, and when all had been
contacted the total subscribed was
$30,100.
"The inspiration of that hour,"
said Rev. Tubb, pastor of the
church, "has been sufficient to lead
us into a continued drive to get the
necessary funds for completion of
the building."
At a checkup meeting of the 12
captains and their teams Monday
evening, it was revealed that an
additional $5000 had been secured
in cash and subscriptions.
The workers went out to see the
remainder of the members of the
church and to report Wednesday
evening, and yesterday it was re-
ported by Rev. Tubb that a total
of more than $40,000 in cash and
subscriptions had been raised.

bution in conjunction with the

for the needy. New, toys will like-
wise be acceptable, as will canned

Stone, the vacant store building
adjoining The Star office has been
secured for a workshop and store-
room for the toys and foodstuffs.
In case the boys fail to call, and
anyone has anything to donate,
please communicate with the scout-
master, any of the Boy Scouts, or

Florida Power To

Sell $8,500,000

Worth of Bonds

Will Be Used To Finance Part
of Huge Construction
Program
The Florida Power Corporation
has asked permission to sell $8,-
500,000 of bonds to finance part of
their huge construction program.
It is expected that the federal
power commission and other gov-
ernment agencies will grant per-
mission for this phase of the comn-
pany's financing plans so that the
construction program started three
years ago can go forward in order
to furnish electric service to the
growing number of customers of
the utility in the 27-county area
served by them in Florida.
Florijfa Power officials state the
company is in the midst of a $40,-
000,000 construction program which
began at the end of the- war. The
company has already added a 25,-
000 KW turbine at their Inglis
plant and a similar one at the
George E. Turner plant, with many
hundreds of miles. of transmission
and distribution lines being built.
The company expects to add an-
other 50,000 KW capacity turbine
to the system within the next two
years, but final determination of
the plant location for this construc-
tion has not been decided. (Why
not Port St. Joe, gentlemen?)
AN OPEN LETTER TO THE
MERCHANTS OF PORT ST. JOE
Dear Friends:
The senior class would, like to
ask you to give your co-operation
and support in the coming cam-
paign to. raise funds through sell-
ing ads with which to pay for pub-
lishing the school annual this year.
We would like to list for you
some of our reasons for needing
your help:
We want an annual, and we
know that you want us to have
one, but we can't have it without
your support.
We want to progress with the
other schools in our state; we want
to help show that progress in our
annifal. Without your help we will
be unable to do this.
We want to help preserve on pa-
per some of the most pleasant


memories we will ever have. We
can't do it without your help.
We think you should know some-
thing of the cost of putting out art
annual, because no one wants to
spend his money unless hecan see
where some of it is going,' so we
will itemize the cost: Pictures,
$250; publishing annual, $1100; to-
tal, $1350.
How can we pay for it? By stu-

Deaths From Burns
Deaths from burns reach a peak
in December, National Safety coun-
cil figures show. Principal reasons
are defective heating, appliances, or
improper use of them, and defective
chimneys. In December of 1945,
1,350 persons died from burns. Dur-
ing the summer the toll is about 500
a month.

Our Country Right or Wrong

THE HANDWRITING ON THE WALL
The pundits and pollsters, the politicians and
prophets, and even the esteemed editorial
writers of the nation have spent the past week
in an effort to interpret the handwriting on the
wall, and each of them has failed.
The editor of The Star. does not claim to any
prescience, but to us it looks like the atomic
concussion which shook the nation Tuesday of
last week was really the signal of the coming of
age of the United States of America.
The infant democracy, cradled as it was by
Thomas Jefferson and nurtured at intervals
through the generations by Andrew Jackson,
Abraham Lincoln, Grover Cleveland, Woodrow
Wilson and Franklin D. Roosevelt, of necessity
has had to grow up like the Topsy of Uncle
Tom's Cabin, defending itself durisig long inter-
vals from the Simon Legree lash of the special
interests. Its 'teen-age period was long while
our whole political activity wound itself up in
a skein of sophomoric chicanery which was cal-
culated to keep the adolescent nation dependent
on the group of so-called leaders who waxed
fat on the infant's patrimony.
Finally, on November 2, 1948, the voters of
the nation threw off the shackles of politics and
demanded and enforced their right to be en-
listed in the ranks of adult men and women.
This election marks the birth of a new era in
our national government, and while it was a
triumph for the people, the old line politicians
must be given credit for an unwilling assist.
Many changes in government will be seen dur-
ing the coming years, now that the nation con-
ceived as a government "of the people, by the
people, and for the people" has finally attained
maturity.

In our lead editorial last Week we inadvert-
ently stated that "thle hunting season officially
opens on November 20" ... and have we
been ribbed and ragged about it. .However, as
every good sportsman knows (except those, of
course, who hunt the year 'round) the season
officially opens November 24.


10 YEARS AGO
From the Files of The Star

Armistice Day Celebration
Marking the first real commem-
oration of Armistice Day in Port
St. Joe, Gulf County Post 116, Am-
erican Legion, staged a celebration
that will long be remembered. The
day opened officially at 11 o'clock
with sounding of the fire siren for
the moment of silence, after which
the parade got underway The pro-
cession was led by our Gold Star
Mothers in cars, followed by the
high school band and the national
colors, Co. D 106th Engineers, the
county health department nurses,
ladies of the Legion Auxiliary,
Marianna Legion post, Boy Scouts
with drum corps, Blountstown and
Bristol Legion ,post, Co. E 106th
Engineers, the Gulf county Legion
post, the new Ford cars from the
St. Joe Motor Co. and cars of in-


ATOMIC CONTROL
It is very probable that we do not know the
score, especially on the foreign situation, but to
us the endless discussion on what to do with
the atom bomb, by the countries that do not
have it, strikes us as about the silliest thing in
the world for us to pay any attention to.
It is inconceivable, to us, that any country we
know of would consult us on a proposition simi-
lar to atomic bombs, that they alone possessed.
They won't share anything they think we want
unless we pay them three times what it is worth
and make various other concessions that will
benefit them and handicap us.
Just why should we even discuss it with them?
The majority of the world knows we are not
aggressive-minded, as far as their country and
properties are concerned, and even if we were,
that would be no reason to disarm ourselves or
put them on an equal military scale with us
when their intentions towards us are doubtful.
Can you imagine Russia or any other of the
hostile countries calling us in to decide about
whether to discard or share the secret of some
powerful weapon they possessed alone?
We should keep the secret. We should use
it in defense of our allies in war, but still keep
it secret. We won't use it unless we are attacked,
as long as we alone have the secret. Let's be
sensible and realistic. End all discussions on the
subject and develop.it for peace time and de-
fense if we need it.-Lamar (Mo.) Republican.

A TIMELY ECONOMIC-THOUGHT
The prediction of Roger Babson that the
United States may expect to experience another
depression some time after "this year or the
next" contains nothing new in economic thought.
In fact, it follows a familiar pattern that has
been much in evidence during recent months.
Nevertheless, his forecast, like others of simi-
lar nature, could serve the good purpose of re-
mindinding the American people again that a com-
monsense care for the future is a wise precau-
tion in the individual as well as in community
and national life.
A more pertinent thought on the subject, how-
ever, is that it should not be necessary to wait
for a reminder that no period of flush times lasts
forever. Good times, are succeeded by times'that
are not so good, or perhaps bad. Then in time
an upturn starts again, and everyone gets the
feeling that all must then be well for all time.
It is in such a period that the big economic
mistakes'may be made.
Because men have yet to build the perfect
economic machine, or system of regulations to
keep all in balance, the ups and downs continue.
For how long no one knows. But so long as
things are what they are, it seems necessary
that occasional reminders be passed out that
there cycles that affect the fortunes and the fu-
tur of all alike.-Florida Times-Union.

Can't blame Truman for working so hard for
.re-election when we consider the present hous-
ing shortage.


dividuals. A free fish fry was en-
joyed at noon in the park and a
number of speeches were de-
livered. The football game in the
afternoon resulted in the St. Joe
Sharks losing to Bristol by a score
of .46 to 0. The day was climaxed
by a grand ball at Van's Recreation
Hall, Beacon Hill. Next year the
Legion plans on a bigger and bet-
ter Armistice Day celebration.
New Dry Cleaning Plant To Open
Port St. Joe will soon "have a
new dry cleaning establishment,
which will be opened next week in
the old Costin building on Monu-


ment Avenue by two brothers, Gus
and Kenneth Creech.
Souvenir Medals for Centennial
George H. Clements, publicity di-
rector for the Centennial Celebra-
tion, states that work has started
on minting the bronze medallions
for badges to be worn by officials
and committeemen during the fete.
They will have on the front a re-
production of the monument and
the reverse will bear the state seal.
The medallions will be of bronze
and the ribbons will be of the fin-
est quality.

THE'JEEP' STATION SEDAN is a perfect family car,'
with the luxury and comfort of a sedan plus the
spaciousness of its all-steel station-wagon body.


THE 'JEEP' PANEL DELIVERY offers smart appear-
ance together with low operating costs, thanks
to low weight and the 'Jeep' Engine.


The first station wagon with all-steel
body and top-the 'Jeep' Station Wagon-
showed the way to wider practical use-
fulness and greater safety.
The 4-wheel-drive 'Jeep' Truck is the
first volume-produced vehicle of its kind
-designed for off-road duty, for tough
grades and bad roads.
The Universal 'eep' is the first all-
purpose farm vehicle built for use both
in tractor work and for hauling or tow-
ing at highway speeds.
The new Jeepster is America's lowest-
weight standard-size car-distinctive in
appearance, far ahead in economy.
The 'Jeep' Station Sedan is an entirely
new type of car, combining sedan com-
fort with station-wagon spaciousness.
This pioneering by Willys-Overland-
fitting cars and trucks to actual needs-
has brought world-wide success to these
more useful, more economical vehicles.
We invite you to see how fully Willys-
Overland's postwar products meet your
transportation and hauling needs.

It will not be possible for the for-
est, service to initiate fire control
arrangements in all the new coun-
ties before next July. and then only

that county commissioners ,may
spend from funds on hand or levy
a special tax to raise money to pay
operating expenses of fire protec-
tion. The state and federal govern-
ments provide watch towers, radio
systems and fire fighting equip-
mnent.
The Florida Forest and Park As-
sociation, a membership organiza-
tion comprised of interested citi-
zens throughout Florida, is already
shaping plans to bring the fire con-
trol question before the voters in
the remaining 37 counties two
years from now.
