HELP PROMOTE PORT ST. JOE BY JOINING THE JUNIOR >I CHAMBER OF 4I COMMERCE THE "TRADE AT HOME" SPEND YOUR MONEY WITH LOCAL MERCHANTS AND GET I ANOTHER SHOT AT IT "Port St. Joe The Outlet Port for the Apalachicola-Chattahoochee Valley" VOLUME XII PORT ST. JOE, FLORIDA, FRIDAY, JANUARY 14, 1949 NUMBER 16 March of Dimes Opens 1949 Drive In County Today Chairman Campbell Believes Gulf County Will Set New Record For Fund This Year The most crucial March of Dimes campaign in history opens today in Gulf county, as well as in all other sections of the United States. The 1949 appeal for funds to fight in- fantile paralysis is aimed at enabl- ing the local chapter to finance the fight against possible pdlio epi- demics next summer while at the same time allowing it to partici- pate in the various activities of the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis. The campaign continues through January 31. "One of the important tasks of national headquarters." said H. A. Campbell, local chairman of the campaign, "is to have on hand a sufficiently large emergency epi- demic aid fund to meet the urgent requirements of areas where polio flares up during the coming sum- mer. We know that these epidemics will come, but we do Abt know which areas will be affected. "Last summer the nation suf- fered one of the most devastating polio epidemics in its hi-tory, with approximately 26,000 cases. Local chapters and national headquarters were called upon to render aid to stricken communities in widely scattered areas Pt g-?,ater cost than ever before. It was a- challenge which we met, but in meeting it we completely exhausted our emergency funds." Chairman Campbell, who feels that the people of Gulf county will exceed the quota set, as they have in past years, listed two primary reasons for greater donations than ever before during the campaign. On the one hand there is the ever- present threat of a local infantile paralysis epidemic, while on the other is the tremendously high cost of aftercare for those stricken. "We have only a few short weeks now in which to win community ease-of-mind for the usual four- months polio period next summer," *said Campbell. "We must make sure that we will -have funds to ,ease the pains of our children next summer if the dreaded polio visi- tor comes. Only a successful March -of Dimes campaign now will assure that the crippling after-effects, are held to an absolute minimum. That is community ease-of-mind." TWO BASKETBALL GAMES SCHEDULED WEDNESDAY Cage fans should see a couple of rip-snorting games next Wednesday night at the Centennial Auditorium when the St. Joe girls' basketball team tangles with the Carrabelle lassies and the Apalachicola boys' town team meets the St. Joe town team. First game of the double-header is scheduled to open at 8 o'clock. Attend Family Reunion Rev. W. B. Holland and family were in Cottondale last Sunday to attend a Holland family reunion. Rev.

Spend Week-end In Wewa Mr. and Mrs. James Lindsay and children spent last week-end in We- 7wahitchka with relatives. Three Clearance Sales Offer Many Bargains Balmy Weather Causes Merchants To Toss Stocks Overboard Imagine! You can buy all the winter clothing you need at about half price right in the middle of the winter! This balmy summer weather we've been having seems to have driven our local clothiers balmy, for they are practically giv- ing away their winter stocks at un- believably low prices. Boyles Department Store is of- fering practically everything in the store for almost a song, in order to clear it out for new spring stock. And Costin's Department Store likewise is putting the skids under winter stocks with prices lower than a snake's belly. Over at Mouchette's Style Shop, Miles Hurlbut has taken a pair of shears and cut ever dress in half -that is he's cut the price in half. And while he was at it, lie likewise halved hats, suits and coats. Ladies, it will really pay you to read their ads in this issue of The Star Read 'em and then go shopping, for you really have a great variety to choose from this week-end. Educators of State To Attend Annual Supervisors Meeting More than 500 educators from throughout the state, including No- bie Stone of this city, will attend the annual conference of super- visors of instruction' at Gainesville, January 17 to 19,.

Visit In Blountstown Mr. and Mrs. Bert Hall and chil- dren were visitors of relatives in Blountstown last week-end. Warren Hopes For Early Passage of Cattde, Gas kLws Would Like To See Cattle Fencing Law Effective By October 1 of This Year Laws to eliminate livestock from Florida's highways and lift the gas tax from fuel used in farm machin- ery and commercial fishing boats are the first and second acts Gov- ernor Warren hopes to see passed by the 1949 legislature. He said he thinks livestock own- ers should be considered negligent if cars are involved in accidents because their animals have strayed on the highways, and added he would like to see, the cattle fencing law become effective at least by October 1 of this year, if not sooner. The governor said he had dis- cussed the proposal to relieve boat owners and farmers of taxes on gas used in their work with Gover- nor J. Strom Thurmond of South Carolina whose state has such a law. He said Thurmond told him very little fraud was uncovered in connection with the act. Fraud might consist of farmers and boat owners using the tax-free gasoline in private automobiles and other non-exempt vehicles. Warren said he would like to see the cattle bill passed first by the legislature, followed immediately by the gas tax law.

Our Country Right or Wrong VOTE AGAINST POLIO Today marks the opening of an 18-day parade in Gulf county and the nation-the 1949 March of Dimes of the National Foundation for Infan- tile Paralysis. In that little more than two-week period the American people will write their own ticket against infantile paralysis, which in the past six years has stricken more than 100,000 of our citizens. One of the main facts to remember about polio is that it is not primarily a fatal disease. Only about five to ten persons out of a hundred who contract it will die. And another fact is that 50 per cent of those infected by polio recover com- pletely. Yet today there remains a drab overtone of darkness in the infantile paralysis picture. When polio strikes with paralytic force, often many lengthy years of hospitalization and treatment comprise the calendar of the disabled. Aside from the victim's pain and suffering, there is also the cold factual problem of a doc- tor and hospital bills. Not one family in ten can afford to pay for full or even partial care of a case requiring more than a nominal hospital stay. That's where your March of Dimes steps in to lighten the dark outlook. Besides financing re- search seeking the final answer of how to pre- vent and cure polio, March of Dimes funds are paying for the best available medical care and' treatment of polio patients throughout the na- tion whether or not they we;e stricken in the 1948 epidemics or in years gone by. Yes, not one family in ten can afford to pay when polio strikes. But every family can con- tribute to the March of Dimes. By so doing they help guarantee prompt and adequate aid to themselves and their neighbors should the dis- ease attack them. Remember the 1949 March of Dimes, January 14 to 31. Join in that great parade and help put Gulf county over the top. Every time you give a dime or a dollar you lend a mighty, helping hand. RUMOR HATH IT-- According to fairly reliable political rumors, Fuller Warren has his eye on a seat in the U. S. senate upon completion of his term as governor. which brings up the question: Who will he at- tempt to unseat-Pepper or Holland? We hardly believe it will be Pepper, since he and Warren are politically allied, and anyway, as someone recently remarked, Pepper probably will be in the senate until he dies of old age. Therefore it must be Senator Holland, since his term will wind up about the same time as War- ren's term as governor. We wouldn't care to predict who would come out on top of the heap should these two tangle in the senatorial race, for both are excellent poli- ticians and both have a strong following in the state. Things are really going from bad to worse in this "capitalist" country of ours. Today you can hardly tell a rich man from a poor one by the car he drives.-Yoakuim, Texas, Herald-Times.

In looking over our back files we find that for years, week after week, the Stardust poured fourth -along with the Moonshine, of course. But we're getting older now and, too, since we've no hired help in the shop, we don't get to go piruting around the streets as of- ten as we used to, consequently we have less data of the type neces- sary to fill this column. You all probably noticed that we had but six pages in this rag last week. That was caused by a catch in the editor's back. 'Twas about all we could do to get from the couch to the linotype, to the dinner table, to the linotype to the couch (boy, that couch really took a beating last week!) Our back crik took us New Year's Day -and we didn't even celebrate the nighi before! Our wife has been trying to blame it onto Ed Pridgeon Jr., who took us fishing on the Dead Lakes in a cold wind (didn't get a bite), but Ed says 'twarn't his fault. Our good frau has been feeding us some kind of pills that look like a gob of crude oil and taste like they contain a mix- ture of turpentine, kerosene, iodine and extract of skunk. In addition. she slapped a big plaster on our editorial back that was so stiff it made us sit and stand straight whether we wanted to or not. We still complain a bit (it gets us a lot of extra service on things we could really do ourselves looks like this back ailment will be with us for a considerable spell it's mighty handy at times). We've at last found a use for the neckties we received for Christmas. Got 'em strung up on a cord back of our easy chair and they're so brilliant and flashy that we figure on saving at least 50 per cent of our light bill this winter. Our wife thinks so much of the idea that she brings in the neighbors to exclaim in awe and admire our in- genuity. We've got a really proud papa in town this week-the Rev. Lee Gra- ham-who has been liassing out the customary cigars with a free hand since the arrival of a boy on January 10. .. To see him strut and hear him talk, you'd think Mrs. Graham didn't have a thing to do with it. Irish Linen -for Money Irish linen for U. S. bank notes and U. S. money for Irish linen sounds like a merry-go-round but that's the way it is. The U. S. gov- ernment buys more than 100 tons of clean linen scraps and remnants from Belfast each year to be used in the making of paper money. Then the American consumer eagerly spends a part of' that money for Irish linen towels, table linens, linen handkerchiefs and dress linens. 10 YEARS AGO From the Files of The Star City To Get New Water Service The Coast Transportation Com- pany. which at present operates from New Orleans to Apalachicola, will inaugurate coastwise freight service into Port St. Joe when the bridge on the coastal highway at Highland View is completed to al- low passage of boats down the canal link connecting St. Josephs Bay with the intracoastal waterway.

Warren said he is hopeful they will reach a compromise and pre- sent a solid front to the legisla- ture. If they don't get together on a plan, he said, "I'm going to get together with myself and present them one." The conflict is one of method. One group wants to continue bring- ing counties under fire control one at a time by having local residents vote on whether to levy a property tax for contribution to a state and federal fund for a county-wide fire control program as the voters of Gulf county did last November. The rival school of thought sup- ports a state-wide law that would eliminate the local tax but make a complete fire control program op- tional with local committees. Warren said he didn't consider forest fire protection a responsi- bility of general government and that the forest industry should bear a big share of the cost. -I SAVE 25% On Innersprings and Box Springs We make any kind of Mattress, Venetian Blinds, Awnings (canvas, redwood or aluminum).

They found a deficit of $500,000 in the general highway construc- tion found and about $9,000,000 worth of contracts on hand to blot up incoming revenue for several months. Alfred W. McKethan of Brooks- ville. who was elected at chairman of the new five-man board, suc- ceeding F. Elgin Bayless. said the department's auditors estimate of revenue for the future indicated it will "have only $2,247426 in state funds to expend on new construc- tion during the entire year." McKethan said members of the Caldwell board had $11,382,476 in I state funds to spend on new roads during 1945-their first year in of- fice. He did not list estimated receipts from federal sources in his state- ment, but the state gets about $24,- 000,000 a year from state gasoline taxes and another $7,000,000 a year from the federal government. E . Governor Warren, in referring to conditions in the road department, said he had found "completely shocking" a news report that the Caldwell board was leaving a $500,. 000 deficit and the outstanding con- struction contracts.
