Huge Crowd Sees

Warren Sworn In

As 30th Governor


Pledges Term To Upbuilding
of Prosperity and Econ-
omy of Government

One of the most spectacular in-
auguration ceremonies ever to be
held in Florida took place Tuesday
in Tallahassee when Fuller War-
ren, amidst pageantry, martial mu-
sic, bevys of bathing beauties and
tens of thousands of onlookers as-
sumed the governorship of the
.state, the 30th man ever to hold
the position.
Sworn in at noon, Warren swore
the oath of faithful performance as
governor, with renewed pledges to
give the people a state government
which would be "neighborly and
friendly" and "make the tax dollar
do its full duty."
He repeated his campaign prom-
ise to "diligently devote four years
of consecrated service to the peo-
ple of Florida" to the end that gov-
ernment may "be more of a bless-
ing and less of a burden."
"I hope to make your state gov-
ernment an active and powerful
force for promoting the prosperity
of all the people of Florida," War-
ren declared. "In fact, for the com-
ing four years the emphasis will
be on the state's responsibilities
and obligations to its citizens.
"The government of this state be-
:longs to all the pe..ple- and will be
administered for \the benefit of all
the people, and not just for a fa-
vored few."
Stating he would ,do his best to
put into practice every plank in the
platform on which he was elected,
Warren said "that platform pledges
me to administer the state govern-
ment without waste. I intend to
get you a dollar's worth of govern-
ment for each dollar' of taxes you
!pay."
Immediately after Warren had
been sworn in, serving of what has
been termed "the world's largest
barbecue" began, and an estimated
80,000 people partook of more than
12 tons of beef and pork seasoned
with 500 gallons of barbecue sauce,
300 gallons of vinegar, 600 pounds
of salt and 200 pounds of black pep-
per, all of which was. washed down
with 3500 gallons of coffee.

Called To Graceville By Death
Mr. and Mrs. Ivey Williams of
Kenney's Mill were called to Grace-
ville on New Year's Day to attend
last rites for Mrs. Williams' bro-
ther and wife, Mr. and Mrs. Holley
Watford of Tallahassee, who were-
killed New Year's Eve in an auto-
mobile wreck near Marianna while
en route to Graceville to the bed-
side of Mrs. Watford's mother. A
daughter, Mrs. Mary Glover, and
her baby, were seriously injured in
the wreck and are in a Marianna
hospital at this time.

MASTER NEW YEAR

The Star, during its 12 years
of publication, has always tried
to do honor to the first New Year
baby born in the community, and
this year we do honor to young
Mr. George David Armstrong, son
of Mr. and Mrs. Clyde Sam Arm-
strong of Highland View, who
greeted this sad and upset old
world on Monday, January 3.
We trust and hope that the
world will be in a much better
condition than it is today when
George David attains an age
where he begins to, realize what
it's all about.
Greetings and salutations to
you, George David, on your entry
into this world in the year of our
Lord 1949.

'Singing Chaplain'

To Deliver Musical

Sermon Monday

Will Present "The Life of Man-
Creation To Eternity," At
Presbyterian Church

A musical sermon, 'The Life of
Man-Creation to Eternity," will
be given in spoken word and music
by Rev. Donald Graham, tenor, on
Monday evening at 7:30 o'clock at
the Presbyterian Church. -
Sometimes referred to as "The
Singing Chaplain," Mr. Graham
served with the 41st Infantry Di
vision in the Philippines campaign
and in Ihe initial occupation of the
Hiroshima area of Japan. He grad-
uated in theology from Westmin-
ster Thelogical Seminary in Phila-
delphia and studied voice under
Jean Teslof of New York. Mr. Gra-
ham's unique ministry in musical
sermons has been heard from coast
to coast, in churches, of more" than
a score of denominations.
As its title indicates, "The Life
of Man-Creation to Eternity," be-
gins with the Bible account of the
creation of Adam and Eve. Haydn's
description of the latter, used by
Graham, might be classified as a
sacred love ballad. Other oratorios
included in the program are "The
Messiah" and 'Moses In Egypt,"
both by Handel; "Abriham," by
Molique; "The Redemption," by
Gounod. Two outstanding numbers
by Molette, composer of the well-
known "Lord's Prayer," are in-
cluded, "The Twenty-third Psalm"
and "David and Goliath." Quite a
number of favorite hylnns and gos-

New A&P Store Opened
Monday In Port St. Joe

Last Monday saw the opening of
the new A&P Store in the recently
completed Duren building on the
corner of Reid Avenue and Fourth
Street, giving to Port St. Joe one
of the most modern and up-to-date
food stores, in the history of the
city.
The store is a model of efficiency
with all items readily available to
customers. In addition all varieties
of meats, sea food, cheese, etc., is
available in huge refrigerator coun-
ters and open-type freezer units

It's really worth going down to

nickel.

lahassee Tuesday, preceded by the

were Miss Sarah Jo Costin, Miss
Teresa Edwards, Wade Barrier and

at the 1938 convention, which was
played continuously throughout the
line of march and appeared to be
'delivered'-by-G e14.T:.xler a speak-
er of the convention.
The recording, which was quite
lengthy, began: "We, the people
of the Territory of Florida, by our
delegates in convention assembled\
at the City of St. Joseph on the 3rd'
day of December 1838, having and
claiming the. right of admission into
the Union as one ,of the United

cure to ourselves and our posterity
the enjoyment of all the rights of

'Singing Chaplain'

(Continuied from page 1)
pel songs as well as a spiritual are
also included in the more than 25
numbers/
A highlight of the sermon is the
description of Abraham, using mu-
ical numbers from an oratorio by
Molique seldom heard today. The
terrible ordeal of Abraham being
called upon to sacrifice his son is
made to live again in the imagina-
tion of the audience. The same


tion on Moses, setting him forth as
the deliverer of Israel from Egyp-
tian bondage. The story sees Israel
again in captivity in Babylon, but
brightens into the description of
the coming of Christ.
Eternal destinies are the final
note of the message, with the last
verse of the much loved "Holy
City" as one of the concluding num-
bers.
The public is cordially invited to
hear Rev. Graham.

White oak is commercially the


might he said regarding the sec-most important of Florida's oaks.

the Florida west coast. The ship
Hydrographer of the Coast and Ge-
odetic Survey now is plotting a
section of the floor which is full
of peaks, valleys and plateaus.
Purpose of the survey is to re-
cord on charts sounds of the area.
These charts show the relations of.
the ar'ea to the coast line. The
maps also will show up these
rise and falls in the floor which
will enable a navigator to identify
his position.
The Hydrographer right now is
working a 65 by 34 mile area some
100 miles off Egmont Key and 65
miles west of Tarpon Springs. The
water is about 20 fathoms (120
feet).
Back and forth around the clock
plies the Hydrographer on parallel
lines about one-half mile apart.
These contour lines which unfold

Our Country g Right or Wrong


NEW LEADER FOR NEXT FOUR YEARS
Now that the spectacular inauguration of Ful-
ler Warren as governor of Florida is over, chief
interest centers in the kind of government the
state will have under ,his leadership for the next
four years.
It is an interest backed by a strong belief that
the new chief executive will live up to the
pledges he made and kept repeating during the
years he was working his way to the office he
now holds. The large vote he received in the
two primaries shows the confidence the people
of the state have in his ability and integrity, and
we believe he realizes that this places upon him
a heavy responsibility for making good his cam-
paign pledges.
Fuller's promises were numerous, but all of
them can probably be lumped together by say-
ing that the main aim is to improve the lot of
.everyone in Florida and give the state a period
of progress as yet undreamed of.
His main pledge was that of economy, and we
can all truthfully say that not only our state gov-
ernment, but our -county and city governments,
can all stand a lot of this economy. We hope
-that Governor Warren will set an example that
-will be emulated throughout the state's county
,and city governments.


TWO OPPOSED IDEAS
For most of us in Port St. Joe our contacts
with retailing are limited to a, relatively small
number of stores which we personally patron-
ize. So we may lose sight of the fact that retail-
ing is one of the mightiest economic forces in
the country.
The statistics are extremely impressive. Retail
trade provides employment for more than 8,-
'000,000 people. Something like 70 per cent of
the disposable income, of America's consumers
crosses its counters. During 1948 the volume of

Widening of Street To Begin
Widening of Fifth Street from
Monument Avenue to the eastern
city limits is expected to begin
Monday. Cost of this project has
been set at $128,921, of which $50,-
.222 is a federal grant, the balance
of the cost to be taken care of by
local interests owning the property
on both sides of the street. The
-roadway is to be widened to 120
feet.
Upshaw Martin
Mrs. Willie Ola Martin and W.
M. Upshaw were quietly married
Wednesday evening at the home of
Mr. and Mrs. S. C. Pridgeon, with
the Rev. J. W. Sisemore officiating.
Work Starts On Bank Building
Preliminary work started Mon-
day at the corner of Long Avenue
and Fifth Street for construction
of the long-awaited bank building.
The structure will be 50 by 110
feet, two stories high, of reinforced
concrete, and in addition to the
bank will house the telephone ex-


business done reached the astronomical figure
of $130,000,000,000.
But size alone doesn't tell the story. The fact
that retailing is one of the most aggressively
competitive of enterprises has been responsible
for giving us more and better goods, at lower
prices, than any other people enjoy. In countries
where retailing is owned or controlled by the
state, a6 opposite condition exists. For instance,
t9e Soviet authorities recently approved the
opening of some "free trade" stores in Russian-
occupied Germany, where goods may be bought
without ration coupons. Shoes sell for $54 to $72,
stockings for $7 to $12, and so on down the line.
The whole idea behind these stores is to get the
last possible penny out of those who can afford
to patronize them, in order to drain off excessive
buying power. The idea behind American re-
tailing is to give the most for the least money.
Retailing is the artery through which the
products of farm and factory flow. It has made
mass production workable by providing an ef-
ficient mass distribution machine within easy
reach of every family in the country. It is a
mainstay of our whole complex economy.

HE WISHED FOR PLENTY
Gardner Campbell, writing in the Wakefield,
Mass., Daily Item just before Christmas, ex-
pressed the secret desires of many newspaper-
men when he listed the gifts he wanted.
"Reporters who get to be editors have a yearn-
ing to perform some moderate atrocity on
writers who think no story can be told, or even
recorded, without a heavy sprinkling of superla-
tives and various lauditory, complimentary or
defensive adjectives,". Campbell pointed out.
That is why his list included a gown or dec-
oration that isn't "pretty," a hostess who doesn't
look "charming," a table that isn't "attractively
set," a cake, bouquet or gift that isn't "beauti-
ful," refreshments that are not dainty, delicious,
delectable or delightful.
A meeting at which "a general good time" was
not had by all or at which no "enthusiasm" was
shown, an attendance that wasn't "unusually"
large, or a Christmas tree that wasn't "gaily"
decorated.
"Doesn't anybody ever run something that is
a flop?" the writer asked. "Are there no dis-
tressed brides who look sloppy, or doesn't any
hostess or program chairman ever louse up the
refreshments or the entertainment?"
He opined that "there must be some meetings
for which only a few show up, and some of the
programs must fail to evoke 'enthusiastic sup-
port' or 'approval'."
"In other words," he concluded, "doesn't any-
body ever have something once in a while that
smells?"

Husbands differ. Getting them in hot water
makes some of 'eig tender, others hard-boiled.

Three New Commissioners Seated.
At the first meeting of the new
year held Monday by the board of
county commissioners, three new
members took their seats, Arthur
Lupton, W. R. Connell and Jesse
Gaskin. Carryovers were F. C. Lis-
ter and F. B. Whitfield.
Patton Sexton
Miss Patricia Sexton, daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. R. W. Sexton of
Ponte Vedra. Fla., and Wytheville,
Va., became the bride of Ned A.
Patton of this city in a beautiful
candlelight ceremony solemnized
December 31 in the Church of Our
Savior at Jacksonville. The groom
is the son of Mr. and Mrs. George
A. Patton of this city.
Postoffice Shows Growth
According to figures compiled by
Postmaster 1. A. Drake, the Port
St. Joe postoffice shows an in-
crease in revenue for 1938 over
1937 of $4,070.74. Revenue for the
year 1937 came to $2,432.72, while
1937 produced $6,581.87 and 1938
$10,652.61, an increase of more than
400 per cent in the past two years.

'TWERN'T OUR CARL
An item in Sunday's Panama City
News-Herald stated that "Carl Arm-
strong was at liberty after posting
a $75 bond on a charge of assault
and battery during a New Year's
celebration at The Glen. Ar-
resting officers said witnesses told
them that Armstrong had knocked
Weaver to the ground and 'stomped
him'."
All of which caused Carl Arm-
strong of Port St. Joe some embar-
rassment, since it wasn't him. It
seems some of his folks in Blounts-
town saw the item and phoned him
asking if he needed any money, and
he's also taken a lot of ribbing
from his many friends-all of whom
know Carl ain't that kind of a guy.

Mr. and Mrs. George W. Cooper

turn to their home this coming

Lots On Dead Lakes

The C. F. Hanlon Subdivision is now open for sale
of lots 50x140 feet, approximate size. All lots
face streets or county highway or the Dead Lakes.
Price of lots range from $400 down, mostly $325.
These lots are sold subject to provision that they are
for private camps or residences, and this clause is so
stated in all deeds.


Property on Dead Lakes is now scarce, and in a
few years will not be available except at a pre-
mium price. Better buy a place now in this choice
subdivision. Terms can be arranged if desired.
