JOE, FLORIDA, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 1948 NUMBER 9 Baptist Hospital Plan Is Backed In Northwest Florida Fund of $227,000 'Already Pro- vided for Modern $1,200,000 Building At Pensacola The campaign among Baptists and friends of Northwest Florida to raise $100,000 for a Baptist hos- pital at Pensacola has been placed in the hands of Rev. Aubrey Allen. pastor of the Olive Baptist Church of that city. . Mr. Allen, who called at The Star office Monday, stated that funds must be in hand by mid-December to assure the granting of other promised monies and donations of $100,000 by non-Baptist business men of Pensacola. The Baptist Hospital Association, he said, now has $227,000, plus a beautiful site for the hospital-the highest point in Pensacola. The ad- ditional money sought will enable the association to construct a five- story masonary structure, with 130 beds, meeting specification for a Class A general hospital. Cost is estimated at about $1,200,000, in- cluding equipment. Two hundred Baptist churches west of the Chattahoochee River, with congregations numbering 35,- -000, and friends of the hospital will (Continued on page 7) **' ---- ----- t. Joe Youth killed By Truck Monday Falls Under Wheels of Vehicle As Family Moving To Hosford Perry Lee Batson, 17, son of Mr. and Mrs. Rubin Batson of Kenney's Mill was instantly, killed Monday evening about 12 miles north of the city when run over' by the rear wheels of a heavy truck. The youth Was riding behind'the cab of the truck on which the Bat- son family were moving their household goods to Hosford, where they were planning to make their home. He fell between the rear wheels of the truck and an attached trailer. In addition to his parents, the youth is survived by two brothers, Roy and Marvin, and three sisters, Irene, Lucille and Nellie, all of this city. Funeral services were held at 10 a. m. Wednesday at the home of J. D. Batson, an uncle, with Rev. W. B. Holland officiating. Interment was in Jehu cemetery at Wewa- hitchka. The Comforter Funeral home was in charge of arrange- ments. No Sunday Hunting In Calhoun Says Sheriff Sheriff J. C. Tucker of Blounts- town announces that he has been requested by petition to enforce the law prohibiting the discharge of. firearms on Sunday in Calhoun county. For the past several years, the sheriff said, hunters have come to the county from surrounding areas to hunt on Sunday. Since they have not been bothered heretofore, it is his wish that everyone be in- formed so there will be no hard- ship resulting in enforcement of the law. Enforcement of this law is due partly to hunters' disregard for rural churches and populated sec- tions, said Tucker. Health Board Will Ask for New Birth Certificate Law Aimed Particularly At Protecting Those Children Who Are Born Out of Wedlock The Florida State Board of Health will ask the coming session of the legislature for a new birth certificate law which will protect birth records, particularly those of children born out of wedlock, from curious or prying eyes, according to Dr. Wilson T. Sowder, state health officer. He explained that under the present law, the state board of health's vital statistics bureau must give a complete birth record of any individual to any person who ap- plies for it. Thus, the fact that a child is illegitimate, has a birth in- jury, his mother had syphilis, or his father was in a penal institution or hospital for the mentally ill, could easily be public knowledge. Dr. Sowder also pointed out that (Continued on Page 4) 'Lucky 13' Bring Home Birds From Moose Shoot Lodge Plans Simi!ar Affair Prior To Christmas The turkey shoot sponsored by the local Moose Lodge at White City Wednesday of last week was a decided success from every stand- point, with lucky contenders bring- ing home 13 turkeys. All participating got so much en- joyment out of the shoot that it has been suggested the lodge sponsor a similar affair about a week before Christmas and that it be held either at the city ball park or the football field. No definite date has been de- cided on, but it is opinionated that Friday. December 17, would be the ideal date. In case it is staged at - the football field, it could be run until late evening under the lights. , It is also planned, when the shoot is over, to hold a party at the Moose home for'the members, their families and friends. This turkey shoot will also be for the benefit of the Moose Christmas basket fund. Lucky winners at last week's * shoot were Curtis Gwaltney, W. C. Goodson, Bert Cox, M. A. Freeman, Corlis Guertin (2), Arthur Lupton, Pete Strange, Terry Hinote, W. E. Trennephole, Peck Boyer, N. E. Gore and James McCall. If you find you are unable to have a turkey for Thanksgiving dinner you might make arrange- ments with some of the above lucky individuals. Local Girl In F. S. U.

Features of City Change As New Buildings Go Up Old-Timers Returning To Port St. Joe Today Would Be Astounded In the -past thirteen years Port St. Joe's business and residential sections have expanded to such an extent that anyone who had moved from the city in 1935 and returned today would be dumfounded, not to mention flabbergasted, at the changes that have occurred. In 1935 the main business dis- trict consisted of two blocks on Reid Avenue from the A. N. depot to Third Street, and practically all the residences probably could have been set up onfa four-block area. With the coming of the St. Joe Paper Company mill. several new business houses were started, not to' mention new dwellings, water and sewer lines were laid and streets graded and paved. Today Reid Avenue is almost solidly lined on both sides with modern business buildings and Monument Avenue is also rapidly building up. Latest additions on Reid in the past feW years are mainly between Third and Fifth Stre~ets. Hig Stone has erected a store building and an office build- ing opposite the Port Theater, and adjoining these is a handsome store building erected by W. I. Duren. In the next block we find a brick and concrete block building put up by Mr. Brock and now occupied by Alex Young's grocery. Crossing the street we find a store building, as yet vacant, erected by Dr. A. L. Ward, and between it and the Mil- ler Drug Store is the spacious store housing Dan Brooks' hardware and sporting goods establishment. Still on the same side of the (Continued on page 8) Aged and Blind Are Receiving Higher Maximum Grants Increases Not Automatic, But Are Based On What Individual Re- quires for Basic Necessities Higher maximum grants to aged and blind persons were reflected in public assistance "payments made through the state welfare board in October, but since the program is based on needs of the individual, not all grants were increased. Robert Bellows, who is a mem- ber of the District 2 welfare board, said yesterday that many persons .receiving public assistance have the mistaken understanding that the 'higher maximums made effec- tive October 1 meant an immediate and automatic increase. This is not true, he emphasized. Each grant is made on the basis of what the individual requires for basic living necessities. When additional federal funds were made available, the state wel- (Continued on page 5) Attend Church District Meeting Representing St. James Episco pal Church at a district meeting held Thursday of last week in Ap alachicola were Rev.

Hunting Prospects Not So Good In Gulf County This Year Game Commission Says Turkeys, Deer and Quail Scarce, But Plenty of Squirrels The November issue of "Florida Wildlife," publication of the state game and fresh water' commission., comes to our desk this week, and in it the commission gives a state- Wide survey of game stock by dis- tricts and what nimrods may ex- pect this season. , The article has this to say of the Third District, which includes Gulf county: "Last year the Third District had perhaps the best supply of game in the state, and despite heavy sum- mer and fall rains it looks like a good bet to hang onto its reputa- tion this year: The best section, un- fortunately, will be of least benefit to the average hunter. As in the past, the so-called "plantation" sec- tions of Leon and Jefferson coun- ties are literally lousy with all species of game-particularly quail. However, this territory is practic- ally 100 per cent posted against public hunting. Northwest Florida hunters, though, will still be able to get their money's worth in other sections of the district. "Perhaps the best deer hunting in the South lies in this district. The old Choctawhatchee Forest, now known as the Eglin Field Pre- serye, stacks up with some of the best northern states as a deer hunt- er's mecca. Last year slightly over 4000 nimrods accounted for 1100 le- gal bucks during a 47-day controlled hunt. That's an average that would stand out in any state and pros- pects look even better this year. Outside of the forest the "one-gal- lus" deer hunter's best chances lie in Liberty and Wakulla counties. "As in nearly every other dis- trict, turkeys have also shown a marked increase. Chief Wildlife Officer Francis Villar says the northern half of Escambia county has more turkeys than ever before (Continued on Page 3) Senators Select Presiding Officers for 1949 Session Senator Newman C. Brackin, 40, Crestview pharmacist, was nomi- nated president of the 1949 state senate, and Senator William Ray, Bradenton attorney, president pro tem, at a caucus of senators held .Saturday at Gainesville. Brackin was designated president by the holdover senators during the closing days of the 1947 state legislature and the action Saturday was merely ratification of the se- lection made last year. After nominating their top lead- ers, the senators named Robert W. Davis of Tallahassee, secretary of the senate; Miss Kate Inman of Tallahassee, reading clerk; George H. Inman of Citra, assistant read- ing clerk; D. H. McCallum of Crestview, sergeant-at-arms, and the Rev. W. F. Dunkle of Micco- . sukee, chaplain. Visitors From Mobile Mr. and Mrs. J. H.

Searchers Fail To Find Hunter Lost In Willis Officials Believe Panama City Man, Missing for Week, Drowned; Boat Found Authorities had practically aban- doned hope Wednesday in their ef- fort to locate Merle Bishop, 34, of Panama City, who disappeared last Friday in the wild reaches of the Willis Swamp area. Search parties headed by Sheriff Byrd E. Parker of Gulf county, and soldiers from Tyndall Field operat- ing a crash boat, have combed the swamp since Saturday. Bishop had left Panama City Friday to join a group of hunters at Southern Kraft lodge, and when he failed to make an appearance by Saturday morn- ing, a search was started along the Brothers River. Bishop's empty boat and motor were found shortly after the search began. As the hunt for Bishop continued, many Bay countians joined in, as did Boy Scouts and members of the highway patrol. The missing man is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Bishop of Pan- ama City and was employed as head timekeeper at the Southern Kraft mill. Members of the Bishop family have been making every effort to prevent word that her husband is missing from reaching his wife, who is an expectant mother. Sharks Defeat Bonifay In Game Here Friday Local Lads Take Blue Devils By 40-6 Score At Centennial Field By PHILIP CHATHAM In the game here last Friday with the Bonifay Blue Devils, the St. Joe Sharks started scoring early in the game, with Bobo Owens mak- ing a 4-yard run around right end. Extra point was made by kicking. In the second quarter Charles Whitehead galloped 30 yards over left end for a touchdown, and was shortly followed by Owens on the same path for another counter. Again the extra point was made on a kick. In the third quarter Bill Fleming smashed through center for 10 yards and a touchdown, with extra point being made by Owens on a run around left end. Two additional scores -were made in the last quarter. Whitehead made a 12-yard run around left end and a place kick brought the extra (Continued on page 8) Warren Names Motor Vehicle Bureau Chief Riding into office next January with Fuller Warren when he takes over the governor's chair, will be Arch Livingston of Tallahassee, who was named last Saturday by the governor-elect as state motor vehicle commissioner to succeed John Kilgore of Tallahassee.

The state game and fresh water fish commission will drop its two- month closed season in 10 North- west Florida counties and elimi- nate the present 12-inch'size limit on black bass. The size limit will go off December 1-next Wednes- da.y. However, there are five local ex- ceptions to the opening order. At the insistence of local residents an April and May ban 'will remain on Lake Wimico and Stone Mill Creek in Gulf county, Merritt's mill pond and Ocheesee pond in Jackson county, and that portion of the Dead Lakes lying south of Scott's Ferry bridge. The commission acted' on the recommendation of Chief Fisheries Biologist John F. Dequine, who said that neither a closed season nor size limit is needed in Florida. Many of the state's fresh waters, he said, are already seriously over- populated with fish.

Prior to election day, the editor of The Star, along with the great majority of editors all over the nation, took assorted potshots at Truman and while giving him the horselaugh, predicted that he didn't have a chance against Dewey. . And were we all surprised? Now that the election is past, some of the more prominent labor leaders are claiming that the unions elected Harry. According to them, the biggest single issue was the Taft-Hartley act. We differ there. Dewey ran strongly in the industrial states, where the labor vote is pro- portionately largest, and carried post of them. Truman, on the other hand, did extremely well in the agricultural regions where organized la- bor amounts to a small minority of the popula- tion. 0h--W- 2 W isSSS m1i 4- *' - High-handed Harry, as The Star referred to him prior to election day, doesn't owe his suc- cess to any group or any class. He wasn't elected by labor or capital or agriculture or any other segment of the nation. As w& pointed out edi- torially two weeks ago, it was our opinion that the U. S. A. had finally become of age, that the people had finally got'out from under control of the special interests in other words, Truman -was elected by the American people-and he is the president of all the people. He doesn't even -owe allegiance to the Democratic leaders, since rnost of them deserted him when they thought Ihis cause was lost-and he won in spite of these amnadmirable defections. It's hard to change our tune, but it looks as though Harry S. Truman has a chance to go down in history as one of the great presidents- as a man who, when the world was torn between :slavery ,and freedom, stood staunchly for the liberties of mankind, and was too big to admit allegiance to special interests of any kind. We only hope that he may measure up to the enor- mous responsibilities that have fallen upon him. SQUASH A MANUFACTURED PRODUCT? If you polish a squash, does that make it a manufactured product? That's what some some of the members of the interstate commerce commission ruled, and a more silly edict we can't imagine. This incomprehensible bit of malarky came forth from the massive brains of the ICC last week after some of the commissioners ruled that fruits and vegetables that have been washed, packaged and otherwise prepared for market are manufactured articles rather than farm com- modities. Only reason the ICC thought up such a hare- brained idea was that they wanted to extend the area of their authority. Seems that trucks hauling farm products are exempt from ICC regulation with all its red tape. Farmers, dealers and truckers are protesting the ruling, as they should, for every little bit of additional control gained by any government agency in any line means additional -cost not only to the consumer but to the taxpayer. Maybe a lot of you people don't know it, but most of those shiny yellow squashes you buy are washed, waxed and polished before they go on the market. Gives 'em a sorta sexy appeal. To us, no matter what you do to 'em, fresh vegetables are still fresh vegetables, and as far as we can see, old Mother Nature is the manu- facturer. .... TOJO'S BIG MISTAKE Tojo told the Japanese war lords, when he counselled with them upon the attack on Pearl Harbor, that the ultimate outcome would favor Nippon. He pictured the soldiers of the mikado as tough, unafraid, and prepared for death because they had been taught stoical acceptance of their fate in battle. A Nipponese soldier who died in combat became a national hero. But the Ameri- cans, he said, were a weak-spirited people. Tojo declared Americans had become so inured to soft living that they would not give up their fleshpots long enough to fight off an invading enemy. The American boys, he added, were afraid of death; there was nothing in their philosophy which taught them how to die for their country. * But the American boys did fight, and they did die, and they won the war. Tojo made a grievous mistake, and for that error he was sentenced to death by an international court. The fate which has befallen him could receive no more appro- priate comment than those cold-blooded, cyni- cal words that were said to have come from his own mouth when the bombs were dropped on Pearl Harbor: "So sorry."-Florida Times-Union.

HEALTH BOARD (Continued from page 1) such information is shown on certi- fied copies of birth records which many persons must present to en- ter school, obtain work, secure passports, etc. Now the state board of health would like to see the enactment of a law which says that the state registrar does not have to issue a certified copy of a birth record un- less he is satisfied that the appli- cant has a direct interest in the certificate, such as lawyers, health and social agencies, insurance com- panies, etc. The board of health would also like to issue any applicant a bill- fold certificate which gives only partial birth information and does not give the names of the person's parents.

With more hunters in the field, sportsnmanship and safety are in- creasingly necessary. Sportsman- ship is just good manners. The good hunter uses his head, observes the rules, and puts out cigarets and campfires carefully. The following 10 commandments of safety have been promulgated by the National Safety Council and the Sporting Arms and Ammuni- tion Manufacturers' Institute: 1. Treat every gun with the re- spect due a loaded gun. This is the cardinal rule of gun safety. 2. Keep the firing mechanism on "safe" until the instant you wish to shoot. 3. Carry only empty guns, taken down or with the action open, into your auto, camp and home. 4. Always carry your gun so you can control the direction of the muzzle, even if you stumble. 5. Be sure of your target before you pull the trigger. 6. Never point a gun at anything you do not wish to shoot. 7. Never leave your gun unat- tended unless you unload it first. 8. Never climb a tree or a fence with a loaded gun. - 9. Never shoot at a flat, hard surface or the surface of water. 10. Do not mix, gunpowder and alcohol. . ---------- Baptist Hospital (Continlaed from page 1) be solicited for contributions to as- sure the hospital at Pensacola as a medical center for this section of the state, with all specialists available.

If your tires wear smooth in the center- READ THIS ABOUT THE GREAT GULF TIRE W HY DO so many tires wear smooth down the center, yet still have good rubber along the edges? It;s simply because their tread design forces the center area to bear the brunt of the load. But with the Gulf Tire it's a different story. This tire is de- signed with a wider, flatter tread that distributes the load of your car more evenly. As a result, the Gulf tread wears more e evenly from one edge to the other-lasts far longer. With 7 ribs, there's a "riding bar" down the cen- iiAU \ter of the Gulf tire. Thus, e /just where the load pres- gg \ sureJs greatest, you ride on l t rubber-not on a groove. These 7 zigzag ribs help stop skids before they start. Their flex-wiping ac- tion breaks up water film on wet roads. Warranty accompanies every Gulf Tire-is hon- I ored by Gulf Dealers everywhere! Sidewall shields protect tire against curbstone bruises. This tire can stand punish- ment, because it has a stronger carcass with stronger, new-type cords. And more cords in every inch-of every ply! The tire runs cooler (and safer) at high speeds, be- cause of a special ingredi- ent in the rubber. Less chance of blowouts and carcass failures, be- cause a double breaker strip cushions shocks.
