Accepts Position In New York Miss Amelia Gibson left Sunday for New York City, where she has accepted a position and will reside in the future. Manascos Dine As Residence Burns Apparently a little thing like the house burning down over their heads doesn't bother the Grady Manasco family. The fire department was called out about 7:30 Tuesday evening to quell a blaze in the Manasco home on Eighth Street which started from a kerosene water heater. The Manascos were eating sup- per when one of the boys opened the door to the back porch, where the water heater was situated. As he opened the door, a billow smoke swirled into the room, which was the first the family knew that they had a fire in their laps. The entire porch was burned in- side, and Grady says he'll have to rebuild it entirely. He could not place an estimate on the damage. Howeve,', he's not too put out over it, since he had an insurance policy with Frank Hannon. __-----._ Jury Box Filled For Circuit Court Terms The jury box for the spring and fall terms of Gulf county circuit court was filled at the regular ses- sion of the board of county com- missioners, and the complete list" will be found on page six of this issue of The Star.

As the 1949 March of Dimes cam- paign swung into its second week, Henry Campbell, county campaign chairman, issued an appeal to all fund-raising volunteers and resi- dents of Port St. Joe and vicinity to redouble their efforts during the remaining ten days of the drive to assure a record success. "So far," said Campbell, "Gulf county residents have responded generously to the 1949 March of Dimes. Preliminary reports from various chairmen show that every segment of the public is keenly aware of the urgent need for polio fighting funds." Campbell added, however, that efforts must be redoubled by every citizen of the community if the goal which Gulf county has set itself is met. "We must remember that March of Dimes funds are used not only to help those whom polio may strike in the coming summer," said Camp- bell, "but part of the funds will have to meet the continuing cost of care and treatment of boys and girls stricken in prior years, and fi- nance scientific research to find a cure or preventive of the disease." The chairman suggested that all ,who had received March of Dimes coin cards return them promptly. Coin boxes, he said, will continue on display in business establish- ments for the convenience of shop- pers. A dime change dropped dur- ing a day's shopping tour will add materially to the desperately needed funds.

GARDNER, Owner (2'3 Miles from Port St. Joe on Beacon Hill Highway) THE STAR, PORT ST. JOE, GULF COUNTY, FLORIDA PAGE FOUR FRIDAY, JANUARY 21, 1949 FRIDY, ANURY 2, 149 ILESTAR POT S. JE, GLF OUNY, ~t~ROA AGEFIV Game Commission Starts Program To Trap Quail Will Move City Dwellers To Wild Areas To Improve Breed The welfare of Florida quail has become of paramount interest to residents and visitors alike, who have viewed with great concern the proposed quail trapping program of the Florida sportsmen and the state game commission quail specialist. Scheduled to begin immediately -upon the end of the quail hunting season, the quail traps will be fur- nished by the state game and fresh water fish commission. The plan is to issue traps to all sportsmen's clubs whose members desire to par- ticipate in trapping city and subur- ban quail for transportation to fields which will provide the na- tural habitat for these little game birds, and which, from their city locations, is too far distant for. them to travel on their own. Two years research by field offi- cers of the game commission shows that the quail breeding in suburban and city areas in central and south Florida have degenerated through interbreeding to a sub-species of the original Florida quail.*Only in the northern sections of the state where the quail are still traveling the piney woods are the birds of normal size and weight. Purpose of capturing the quail and shifting them from one area to another is to ingest the stock of the strong and heavy breed of quail throughout the birds in the entire state, thereby improving the qual- ity and abundance of these little game birds which once were a de- pendable winter supplement to the native food supply. Unlike domestic poultry, the quail thrives best when not in captivity. However, they are highly appreci- ated by farmers for their aid in cleaning the fields and gardens of weed seeds, which is their first preference and comprises approxi- mately 75 per cent of the diet. Sec- ond in their preferred diet are in- sects, which they reduce to a mini- mum in their foraging areas. They appreciate frequent supplemental feedings of any kind of grain, and almost every farmer will scatter a little of his chicken feed for these birds to keep them working over his gardens and fields. The year-long effort of 'sports- men, cattlemen and farmers to rid their surrounding territory of ene- mies of the quail has met with an appreciable degree of success and was a forerunner to the present en- deavor to replenish the woods and fields with new families of quail. Florida sportsmen are perhaps the largest group of classified indi- viduals who share in an all-out ef- What ii111)GOES INTO'A PRESCRIPTION?

Our Country 1 Right or Wrong IT'LL BE A MIRACLE IF HE DOES IT Truman performed a miracle when he, by his own individual efforts, got himself elected presi- dent, but it'll be a greater miracle if he can fulfill all the promises he made in order to get himself back in the White House. During the campaign he promised the farm- ers increased subsidies for farm products, higher wages for the working man and lowered prices to the consumer. ""I'r,, ilSB. : Now let's look at his program as presented to congress. He seeks federalized medicine, fed- eralized education, federalized housing aid, ex- pansion of social security, extension of federal- ized river, development and rural electrification, new warehouses for crop storage, immediate ac- tion on the St. Lawrence waterway, creation of numerous new boards and commissions for a va- riety of things which would add another million or .so employes to the federal payroll. He wants to do all this, and more, without increasing the cost of living! He solemnly asserts that it is vital to balance the national budget and reduce the national debt, and he promises to, do this by imposing four billion dollars more in new taxes on income and corporations: However, with the things he has recommended, as enumerated above, even 10 YEARS AGO From the Files of The Star Lumber Mill Begins Operations The St. Joe Lumber & Export Company started operations Mqfi- day at their huge mill on the west- ern city limits with merchantable timber resources of more than 400,- 000,000 feet of pine, cypress and hardwoods. The mill, which is un- der the management of Basil E. Kenney, employs approximately 300 men at the mill and in the woods, with a $40,000 estimated monthly payroll.

The name of the winner will be published next week. Birth Announcement Mr. and Mrs. A. G. Montgomery announce the arrival of a 61/-pound boy, born Monday, January 16. The youngster has been named James Oliver. School Noses Out Town Team The high school and town bas- ketball teams met Tuesday after- noon for a spirited tilt that found the school lads nosing out the town- ers 22-20 in the last few seconds of play. Starting lineup for the high with the extra four billion, would increase the national debt instead of decreasing it, and go a long way toward increasing living costs, since the corporations would have to get their tax in- crease back by adding it to the cost of their manufactured products. Personally, we believe Mr. Truman is in one melofahess. We believe (we may be wrong) he knows what a pickle he's in, but is compelled to go ahead with his plans due to the promises he made to special groups during his campaign. A GOOD RESOLUTION A few weeks ago the 'New Year was greeted in Port St. Joe with prayer and song and dance. We said goodby to 1948, extended a welcoming hand to the Newcomer and exchanged mutual expressions of hope with our friends that the New Year would prove happy and prosperous. At the same time a lot of us gave some thought to New Year resolutions. Most of us might even have kept some of 'em, right up to this "late" date. But if we didn't, there is still a chance to redeem ourselves right now. There is one resolution every man, woman and child should make and keep. It's an easy one. It entails little or no sacrifice and will give you a grand feeling-but more important, it will help bring back to health youngsters you may know, or have heard of, or perhaps never even knew existed. M nT .,\,s a i -. '. - That resolution is simply to "Join the March. of Dimes." Sit down right now and write a nice fat check and send it to Hank Campbell, who's in charge of the drive in Gulf county, for the dimes, and dollars you give will enable the Na- tional Foundation for Infantile Paralysis to re- build chapter funds exhausted during last year's polio epidemics, which were the worst in our history. Give generously, and you will share in the prayers of thousands of little ones-you will write the score for a song of a brighter future.
