HELP PROMOTE PORT ST. JOE BY JOINING THE JUNIOR CHAMBER OF COMMERCE. i , THE' STAR "TRADE AT HOME" SPEND YOUR MONEY WITH LOCAL MERCHANTS AND GET ANOTHER SHOT AT IT "Port St. Joe -The Outlet Port for the Apalachicola-Chattahoochee Valley" NUIVIUc.Ii 0 Merchants See Record Sales for Yule Season Gift Distribution and Plenty of Goods Will Be Real Stimulus Storekeepers of Port St. Joe ex- pect this Christmas season to be the biggest ever, what with plenty of goods on hand and the $1000 gift distribution they are staging' on Christmas Eve. For the first time since the war they'll be making a real bid for business, since supplies of goods are better and more varied than they have been in years, there are more eye-catching special gift items, and there is a greater range of moderate-priced gifts. Local merchants are stressing the moderate price levels-since for several months past the trend has been for consumers to turn aside from high priced luxury items. They realize that the day has gone when the consumer would buy a gift no matter what its price. Competition is back in full force, and apparently our merchants have recognized that fact in their selec- tion of goods. ' A quick trip through a number of stores shows a wide variety of mod- erate priced cosmetic kits, toilet sets and novelties, not to mention gift packages of cutlery for the kit- chen. We also noted that the Christmast-packaged gift sets of towels, which disappeared during the war, are again back on the mar- ket-and notion departments have everything from casual slippers to kitchen bowl covers in gift garb. We saw one item that really should make a hit with the ladies (personally, we don't wear 'em). It was a washable nylon velvet blouse- brassiere which can be worn as a blouse for daytime or evening. We found that generally women are asking for household goods and clothing as Christmas gifts, while men list wearing apparel as their first choice. Beyond that, women list jewelry as their third choice, and automobiles are second in line (Continued on page 8) -. Bikes Without Lights Menace, Says Chief No motorist wants to run over a child riding a bicycle, but that's going to happen eventually, says Chief of Police Buck Griffin, since numerous small fry are making a habit of riding their bikes at night without proper lights. "I'm asking parents to see that their children's bicycles carry some sort of light," said Griffin. "No one wants to see their child crippled for life or killed just for the lack of one small light. There is no way to hold the kids responsible, for they don't think of what might happen, but I do feel that it is the responsibility of the parents."

The Shaks shoved over the first counter in the first quarter when Raymond Lawrence scored and the zta'ra. point waa f-k-d. by' Buster Owens. In the second quarter the Sharks doubled their dose with Owens and Charles Whitehead scoring. Try for extra point was completed on but one. Coming back in the third round, Owens scored again with a 70-yard run and also contributed the extra point. DeFuniak, fighting back with immense determination, received their chance when Hattaway scored on a kickoff with a 60-yard dash to pay dirt, plus the extra point. The Sharks again took the lime- light in the last quarter, scoring the final touchdown, with Bill Fleming as the scoring agent. Try for extra point was unsuccessful. The Walton Braves, brave as, they were, soon realized their lack of ability to cope with a team com- posed of Whitehead and Owens, planning the strategy and seeing to its fulfillment, and Bull O'Brian and his capable companions devas- tating the Walton line. Tommy Simpson, substituting in numerous places, and Luther Parrot did ex- cellent jobs of relief. The Sharks proved their capabil- ity by covering 421 yards on the ground and another 80 by air. The Braves struggled to cover 151 yards on the ground and 37 via air. The Sharks meet the Bonifay Blue Devils at Centennial Field to- - night and next Wednesday night will tangle with the Blountstown Tigers here. Attending Grid Game T. M.

Christmas Seal Sale To Open In County Monday Everyone Urged To Buy In Order That Association May Continue Work Harry H. Saunders, Gulf county chairman for the annual Christmas Seal sale, states that the seals will be distributed Monday by the Gulf County Tuberculosis Association, and urges all !Y1 to be gener- ous with their donations. The seals this year show a young boy FIGHT TB e x p e ct antly Buy Christmas Seals awaiting t h e arrival of Santa Claus before a fireplace from which three emptly stockings hang. It is a typical nightbefore-Christmas scene in Am- erica. The boy knows that Santa Claus will come. He always has. There is no reason to doubt this year. Yes, on Christmas morning the stockings will be full. The boy's faith will be rewarded. Will the faith of the tuberculosis association in the people of Gulf county likewise be rewarded when Christmas comes? Working in co-operation with the health department, the medical pro- fession and other groups, the as- sociation has for the past several years sponsored a well planned pro- gvam for the control .of tubec' cuL:-' sis here. This program has helped bring down the tuberculosis death rate considerably since the associ, ation was organized, yet tuberculo- sis is still a grave health problem, taking the lives of more young adults than any other disease. The association depends entirely upon proceeds from the annual sale of Christmas Seals to support its work-its educational, case- finding and other projects. When the Christmas Seal sale closes December 25, the association will know whether it will have the finances to continue 'its activities for the coming year, to expand its (Continued on page 8) St. Joe Motor Company Gives Out Safety Book Working in the interest of a safer community, the St. Joe Mo- tor Company this week distributed 1500 comic booklets, "It's Fun To Stay Alive," to the children of this city and Wewahitchka.

Our Country Right or Wrong OUR CITIZENS ARE FORWARD-LOOKING The people of Gulf county are to be congratu- lated on their forward-looking attitude when they voted overwhelmingly to join with the na- tional and state forest services to provide fire protection for the timberlands of our county. The forests of Florida support the state's ma- jor industries. Careful protection of what was left after the first cut by the early timbermen and reforestation of the pine lands are funda- mental necessities to supply raw materials for these industries. Here in Port St. Joe, moreso than in the north part of the county, our main industries are based on wood products. The St. Joe Paper Company mill and the St. Joe Lumber & Export Company are both dependent upon a balanced forest pro- gram so that the woods will produce as much as is taken each year for industrial use. These industries provide jobs and payrolls without which the community could not exist. Furthermore, hundreds, obtain employment in the woods, in the tapping of trees for rosin, in cutting for pulpwood and lumber, in planting seedlings, maintaining fences and fire lanes and in many other activities. THE SMOKER'S RESPONSIBILITY The cigaret you just reached for is more than a little paper tube filled with tobacco (person- ally, we smoke cigars). It is a potassium chlor- ate torch that will burn at a high heat intil it is consumed to ashes. The chemical is mixed with the tobacco in order to make it burn. steadily. The significance of this should be clear to anyone. The apparently harmless cigaret is one of the greatest menaces to life and property when carelessly handled. Last year careless smokers were responsible for 130,000 fires- many of which caused death, injury and high property damage. Will the total be greater this year? The rules for safe handling of cigarets, and all other tobacco products, are simple enough. Al- ways put them out in an ash tray or some other safe container when you're done with them. Never throw a burning butt from a car-this par- ticular type of carelessness has caused some of the worst forest fires the country has known. That's one reason the car makers put an ash re- ceiver in cars. And, above all, don't smoke in bed. A cigaret will set bedding afire far more quickly than most of us realize-as many a smoker has learned to his sorrow. And smoking in bed has sent a legion of smokers into the here- after prematurely. So, if you smoke, accept the responsibility that goes with it-the responsibility to use tobacco safely, in accordance with the rules. THANKSGIVING Next Thursday is Thanksgiving Day again, and some, surveying the past twelve-month, may feel they have little for which to be thankful. Let them compare their estate with that of the Pilgrims. Let them test their courage and spirit against the courage and spirit of Governor Brad- ford and his little company. After all, there is more to Thanksgiving Day than a turkey, symbol of plenty, and a digestion- testing dinner. It is a day of retrospection. An- other year of adventure and experience has passed-and here we are! Surely we are riper in knowledge; surely we, know ourselves and the world better; surely we have profited, even though it may have been at the expense of hard knocks. Rather than the ma- terial achievement, reckon up the spiritual. The Pilgrims, that first Thanksgiving Day, were poorer than they had been in England in goods of the world, but they had proved they could make a living in their new country, where they had the priceless blessing of liberty to think and speak after their own will. Therefore their hearts were filled with thankfulness, and they made light of their hardships. When we study the, story of that first Thanks- giving Day, we find in it the holiday's true spirit. Work faithfully for eight hours a day and don't worry; then in time you may become boss and work sixteen hours a day and have all the worry. be a better citizen-mebbe.

JOE, GULF COUNTY, FLORIDA PAGE FOUR FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 1948 FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 1948 Senators See Big Benefits for State Hope To Get More Rivers and Harbors Cash, Aid to Citrus Growers, Equalized, Freight Rates, Boost In Wage Rate. Florida benefits of great com- mercial value are seen by Senators Holland and Pepper from the re- cent Democratic victory. Holland thinks the state's grow- ers finally may get federal funds to repay their losses from the Medi- terranean fruit fly infestation of 19 years ago. He and Pepper intro- duced a bill at the last session to allot $10,000,000 for the purpose. Holland also thinks that Florida will get more rivers and harbors -monies; that canners will be placed under a marketing agreement, and that the South will find less opposi- tion in its fight for equalized freight rates. Pepper said he hoped to achieve relief for the Florida citrus indus- try and flood control funds for the state. Nationally, he saw besides repeal of the Taft-Hartley act, new deals in health insurance, a more liberal social security and higher minimum wage. Pepper said President Truman and the Democratic party have promised a 50 per cent increase in social security benefits, and he is ,going to work for it. He said he would try to establish social se- curity benefits at a minimum fig- -ure with a view to state participa- tion, and that he would like to see the federal government pay each person $50 a month from the age of 60, and have states provide enough to give each person a total of $100 a month; $200 for man and wife when both are eligible. "I re- alize this cannot be done over- night," Pepper said, "but this is what I am working toward." Pepper said he wanted to see an improvement in the old age and survivors insurance program and material and child welfare care, and that he intended to work for an increase in the minimum wage from 40 to 75 cents and for repeal of the Taft-Hartley law, with a re- vision of legislation affecting la- bor and management. He said he was vitally interested in a program to bring prosperity to the citrus industry, and that he was going to work with the indus- try and state for price support that would give the grower at least the cost of production.

These services will continue at the same hour each night through De- cember 5. with a Sunday morning service at 11 o'clock on November 28 and December 5.

Everyone is invited to at- tend. Evangelist Hallford is well known to the people of Port St. Joe and vicinity, having been pastor of the First Baptist Church here from 1941 until early in 1947. This is his 17th revival since March 1, besides a Bible conference and a Youth Camp, in which meetings there were approximately 250 responses his friends to attend the services to his propositions.

Cawthon, co-ordinator of the pic- torial division of the inaugural committee,. is working on a project which would see a 50-foot screen erected near the capitol with films of the Catts inauguration in 1917- 31 years ago-shown first on in- augural night and then that day's shots of the Warren inaugural to follow for comparison. Catts wore a frock coat at the inaugural when he took over from the late Park Trammel. Derby hats were much in evidence, and the 1917 autos raised plenty of dust as they passed the capital via a clay road in front at that time. Horses and buggies were in profusion, and many in the parade rode horses. Grahams Have Visitors Mr. and Mrs. Lee Graham and Dr. Henry H.

Carter favors hanging out a sign on the door of the Dem- ocratic party reading: "All is for- given. Come back home." . The national Democratic com- mitteeman for Florida this week wrote Chairman Alex Littlefield of the state committee suggesting that the party forgive and forget the defections of the last general election. "The good solid substantial peo- ple of this and most other states refused to be misled by propa- ganda, as a few of our erring bro- thers and sisters were," Commit- teeman Carter wrote. "The result was a satisfactory victory for the Democrats and a wholesome les- son to those who were tempted from the fold. Let us, therefore; make it easy for them to come back home, in keeping with the spirit of that grand old hymn which says, 'As long as the lamp holds out to burn, the vilest sinner may re- turn.'

Those hostile elements once bent on wrecking the Democratic party must undergo a spell of purifica- tion before they can aspire again to leadership. "I think it ought to -be a source of satisfaction to recall that even the strongest appeals to religious and racial prejudice have failed to shake the party more than tempor- arily. Our Democratic' people are built of such sturdy stuff that they can shake off temporary spells of dizziness and get their eyes focused again on the real objectives of the party, which are a happy people and a chance for everyone. , "It seems to me we have had a chance to recover our party equi- librium by now, thanks to your capable direction, and I respect- fully suggest that our party hang out the sign: 'All is forgiven. Come back home.' Let's not over- look an opportunity to get our fam- ily all under one roof again."

Their flex-wiping action breaks up water film on'wet roads, * The 7 ribs mean there's a "riding bar" down the center of the tire. Right at the point of greatest pressure, the load rides on rubber, not on a groove! * Can stand punishment. This tire's stronger carcass has more and stronger cords in every inch of ply! * Sidewall shields protect tire against curbstone bruises. * Warranty accompanies each Gulf Tire-ishonored by Gulf Dealers everywhere! ST. JOE MOTOR COMPANY JOE, FLORIDA HUDSON FLOORSarerecessed down within the Iratne (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 seats are positioned ahead of the rear wheels so that full body width becomes available for wonderfully roomy seats. Box-section steel girders completely encircle and protect the passenger compartment. TRY AUTOMATIC GEAR SHIFTING in forward speeds as pro- vided by Hudson's Drive-Master transmission-by far the easiest of all waas to drive. You can accelerate as long and :is fast as you like in pick-up gear, then lift your toe monien- tarily, and you're in high. The shift into high comes oply Shliti you are ready Button control on the instrument papel provides instant change to conventional driving if ever l-hired. Drive-Master transmission is optional on all New II ndsons at small extra cost. Come in, try Hudson with the all- new, high-compression Super-Six en- gine (the most powerful American six built today) or the masterful Super-Eight. Both provide wonder- fully alert power for a new type of motor car with an exclusive "step- down" design. Millions say the New Hudson is the reign- ing beauty in the automobile parade- but you can't really know this great car until you drive it-and you're invited to do just that-now! Hudson, with the new, 121 h.p., high- compression Super-Six engine or the masterful Super-Eight, takes you away with new zip, and outstrips the field with staying power. But amazingly alive engines aren't the whole story of this star performer for '49. Hudson has a new hug-the-road way of going in cross-winds and on every con- ceivable kind of highway. This all happens because-as is widely known-the lower to the ground a car can be built, the more stability it will have. Hudson has the lowest center of gravity in any American stock car! This remarkable car has floors recessed down within a base frame (Hudson is the only car you step down into), enabling Hudson to build the lowest car on the highway, only five feet from ground to top-while maintaining more than ade- quate head room! You sense a delightful conformity to the road the minute you begin to ride, and this gives you a grand feeling of safe well- being! This feeling is further enhanced by the ease with which this car is oper- ated, and by the quiet with which Hudson glides along. Come in, let us show you why Hudson's great engines and fabulous "step-down' design principle** put this car so far ahead it is a protected investment in motor car value! **The many important advantages in Hudson's nev "step-down" design are. explained in a booklet available at the nearest Hudson dealer's."

The court, in an unanimous opin- ion, said the fisherman is required to pay a boat license and "when he sellshis catch direct to the whole- saler, we do not think the act con- templates that he procure a whole- -sale seafood dealers' license." If such a license tax is imposed, his table." The decision reversed a ruling by the Palm Beach circuit court which restrained M. R. Hall from selling his catch until he purchased a wholesale dealers' license. The state board of conservation, which brought the suit against Hall, levies a $50 a year license tax against wholesale dealers.
