JOE, FLORIDA, FRIDAY, JANUARY 7, 1949 NUMBER 15 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. -- --- -------- - Returns To F. S.

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. llIl lllII IIll I lllllIIIIllIIIIIIIIIIIIIII III I II iiIll llillIIl I '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."

Chief Justice Elwyn Thomas of the state supreme court (left),-is ad- ministering the oath before an estimated crowd of 40,000. The words were the same as those uttered by the constable in the states smallest district when he assumes office. Chevrolet Agency To Be Opened Here C. R.

L. Sharit, had as its theme the constitutional convention held at old St. Joseph in 1838, and Flor- ida's first railroad. On the front of the float was the replica of the first locomotive used on. the Iola &; St. Joseph Railroad, the state's first railroad, and at the rear of the vehicle was a small re- production of constitution hall in which the delegates convened to draw up Florida's first organic law. Riding on the float and wearing costumes prevalent back in 1838, were Miss Sarah Jo Costin, Miss Teresa Edwards, Wade Barrier and Gale Traxler Jr.; of this city, and Miss1Violet Gaskin, Jack Husband and Jimmie McDaniel of Wewa- hitchka. Concealed,in the float was a loud speaking system connected with a recording of the opening address 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 States of America, in order to se- cure to ourselves and our posterity the enjoyment of all the rights of life, liberty and property, and the pursuit of happiness, do mutually agree to form ourselves into a free and independent state, by the name of the State of Florida."

Gadget-Laden Ship Finding Gulf Secrets The floor of the Gulf of Mexico is giving up its secrets to a gad- get-laden ship nosing around off 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).

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 10 YEARS AGO From the Files of The Star 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. change and offices of subsidiaries of the St. Joe Paper Company. To- tal cost of the building is set at $75,000. 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. It Pays To Advertise Try It. '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. Here For Visit Mr. and Mrs. George W. Cooper visited last week-end in Ocklock- nee, Ga., and Quincy. They were accompanied home by their son and family, Mr. and Mrs. George L.
