HELP PROMOTE ,PORT ST. JOE BY JOINING THE JUNIOR CHAMBER OF COMMERCE THE STAR "TRADE AT HOME" SPEND YOUR MONEY WITH LOCAL MERCHANTS AND GET ANOTHER SHOT AT IT "Port St. Joe -The Outlet Port for the Apalachicola-Chattahoochee Valley" VOLUME XII PORT ST. JOE, FLORIDA, FRIDAY, JANUARY 28, 1949 NUMBER 18 St. Joe Key Club Sponsor of Unit At Apolachicola Officials of Chapman High Lauded for Making Club Available To Boys By HARRY McKNIGHT A Key Club was established and received its charter in ceremonies at Chapman high school, Apalachi- cola, last Saturday night, the spon-, soring organization being the Port St. Joe Key Club. The new organi- ation started off with 15 members, all of whom were present with their fathers. President Red Anthony received the charter on behalf of the club from Harold G. Martin, Kiwanis immediate past governor, who key- noted his address to the large gath- ering with these words: "The pur- pose of the Key Club can be summed up by simply one word, 'think,' and if it accomplishes nothing else in thh school life of a boy than to make him think positively and in- telligently, it has laid the ground- work for a successful man." Martin phrased the non-thinker under three heads, viz.: the "swell- head," the "blockhead" and the "pinhead." The swellhead he de- scribed as one who is too self-cen- tered to think about the rights and feelings of others, and ultimately finds himself shunned and left to himself. The blockhead, he said, is one who does not think intelligently enough in preprop "rr- s.j"1.- iul an'] healthy future for himself, or who neglects the danger signals which nature is constantly presenting, thereby failing to make himself mentally, morally, spiritually and physically fit for adult life. The third class he explained as the most pathetic of all-one who cannot think for himself at all, because he has not taken advantage. of early training and has come to depend upon someone else to make his de- cisions for him. Martin lauded officials of Chap- man high school for their farseeing vision in making available this club (Continued on page 8) Glenn Boyles Is Now Sole Owner of Department Store Glenn Bqyles last week pur- chased the interest of J. A. Cole- 'man in Boyles Department Store and is now the sole owner. The deal included the store building, fixtures, stock of mer- chandise and two additional lots at the corner of Reid' Avenue and Fourth Street. Notice of the dissolution of the co-partnership ,appears on page 5 of this issue of The Star. Improving Property Nick Comforter has had a crew of men at Work doing over his busi- ness buildings at the corner of Reid Avenue and Third Street. He has had a new front put on the former warehouse at the rear of the lot, added a small concrete-block store- room to the building formerly occu- pied by the A&P Store, and laid a concrete sidewalk the full length of the property. -------- -------- Attends Purina Conference Cecil Costin last week attended a conference of several hundred Pu- rina feed dealers held in Jackson- ville which was attended by feed dealers from Florida, Alabama and Georgia. Nortonette Cagers Continue Winning The Nortonettes, St. Joe's girl basketball team, chalked up two more wins the past week to keep their record unmarred. They traveled to Carrabelle Sat- urday night and emerged victorious by a 23-12 score, and in the game played here Tuesday night against Panama City, took the long end of a 28-18 score. A tentative game is on the fire for next week, and on February 11 and 12 the Nortonettes and teams from Carrabelle, Apalachicola and Panama City will hold a "warm-up" tournament at the Centennial Au- ditorium in preparation for the big tourney scheduled for March. Cub Scouts To Hold Annual Celebration Plan Banquet Next Thursday Night and Handicraft Exhibit Cub Scouts are celebrating Boy Scout Week and Blue and Gold Month in grand style, and the big feature will be held next Thursday night when parents and Cubs get together for their annual celebra- tion at the Episcopal parish house. Each year a different kind of banquet is planned for this event in Cub Scouting, and this time it will be a "pot luck" dinner.' with parents of the boys playing hosts to the occasion. Members of the local scouting or- ganizations are being invited, in- cluding the scoutmaster, cubmas- ter,-heighborhood commissioner and& district chairman, also members of the sponsoring organization, the Kiwanis Club, and visiting scout executives. Herbert Brown, committee chair- man, will be the speaker of the eve- ning, and a most interesting pro- gram is being planned. Cub Scouts' of Pack 47 are busy with their plans for arranging han- dicraft exhibits, and the building will be appropriately decorated for the occasion. 'Family Night' Is New Feature At Port'Theater Beginning next Wednesday, Feb- ruary 2, and continuing each Wed- nesday thereafter, except February 9 because of the stage show on that date sponsored by the P.-T. A., "Family Night" will be observed at the Port Theater. This observance, according to Manager Norris Mc- Collum, comes about as a token of appreciation for the fine attend- ance experienced by the theater in recent months. According to Manager Mac, the family night will work like this: After 6 p. m. all children under 12 years of age will be admitted free if accompanied by his or her parent or guardian. In arranging these family night programs, the management has en- deavored to select a type of picture that will be enjoyable to the entire family. Wednesday night's picture will feature Roy Rogers in a tru- color film, "Nighttime In Nevada." Other family night pictures will feature Blondie, Dead End Kids, etc. Special award of five passes will be given to the largest family attending next Wednesday night.

St. Joe Kiwanis Fathers Wewa Organization Memory of Dr R. Norton Honored At Charter Presentation An estimated 175 Kiwanians, their ladies and guests met last Friday night in the city hall at Wewa- hitchka for a banquet-meeting that officially chartered the Wewahit- chka Kiwanis Club, which was fa- thered by the Port St. Joe club. Harold Martin of Fort Lauder- dale, immediate past governor of Florida Kiwanis, presented the charter and reminded the 28 new affiliates to live Kiwanis for "Ki- wanis membership means much or it means little, depending on youk" Martin, whose address was key- noted to the International theme of "aggressive citizenship," and Tom- my Smith of Panama City, lieuten- ant governor of District 2, who pre- sided, paid tribute to the memory of the late Dr. J. R. Norton of this city, who was called by death be- fore his term as lieutenant gover- nor expired. Martin stated that during the time Dr. Norton served as lieutenant governor he was in-- strumental in founding two new Kiwanis and .three new Key clubs, the record for organizing Key clubs leading all other districts in the state last year. Cubie Laird, president of the iew club, in accepting the charter, re- sponded to Martin's talk with. ex-.

"When January 31 has passed," Campbell said, "we will know just how well equipped we will be for the hot polio months of summer. Let's not forget that this 18-day drive must produce results suffici- ent to provide care for those who may be stricken during the next 12 months." Campbell appeals to all holders of coin cards to return them with their voluntary contributions at the earliest possible moment. Coin col- lecting boxes will remain in stores until the end of the drive. "A heavy responsibility rests on the shoulders of everyone in our community," Campbell said. "That responsibility is to see to it now, that every possible aid can be given to our boys and girls next summer should infantile paralysis strike in our homes. We've been lucky in past years and we may escape this year, but we can't be sure." Only three more days are left, and the editor of. The Star joins with Mr. Campbell in appealing to our readers-"Give to the March of Dimes." ------'- -- Attend 0. E. S. Meet In Marianna Mr. and Mrs. Watson Smith, Mrs, D. C. Smith and Mrs. W. H.

Watch Your Speed, Chief of Police Warns Motorists Been bearing down rather heavy on the gas pedal lately while driv- ing about the streets of our fair city? If you have. you're just the person Chief of Police Buck Griffin has in mind. Chief Griffin states that here of late motorists have been driving too fast, particularly on Long and Monument Avenues, and he wants to see a little less speed and more consideration for safe driving. "I'm asking for the co-operation of all motorists," said Griffin. "I don't want to make any arrests un- less I have tobut if this speeding doesn't stop, I'm going to issue a number of tickets." FEC-ACL Merger Barred By Court Ruling of Federal Judge Is Kick In Pants to Claude Pepper Merger of the Florida East Coast Railway with the Atlantic Coast Line system, directed by the inter- state commerce commission in a 6-to-5 decision last March, was dis- approved Monday by Judge Samuel Sibley of the Fifth U. S. Circuit Court of Appeals at Jacksonville. Judge Sibley, who sat as a U. S. district judge in Jacksonville at a hearing on the merger plan week before last, returned the long and hard-fought reorganization case to the ICC for further hearing. The ruling represented a victory for the St. Joe Paper Company, which owns.a majority of the $45,- 000,000 worth of FEC first and re- funding bonds,.' afd which is also seeking control of the bankrupt Jacksonville-to-Miami railway. , It meant defeat for the Atlantic Coast Line and Senator Claude Pep- per, who.left his senate seat to ap- pear before the. ICC and vigorously oppose the duPont interests at hearings before the ICC in Wash- ington. The senator did not attend the hearing at Jacksonville. Sports Afield Goes All Out On Florida's Hunting and Fishing Sports Afield magazine, largest outdoor magazine in the world, goes all out on Florida's hunting and fishing in its February issue. The magazine devotes 14 pages of pictures and text to the state's game and fish resources. The ar- ticle calls Florida "one of the coun- try's last fish and game frontiers." It comprehensively covers every- thing from bonefishing in the Keys to quail hunting in North Florida. The piece includes an eight-page picture section, four of which are in full colors. Some of the illustra- tions show bass fishing on Lake Okeechobee and the Dead Lakes in Gulf county, snook fishing off the Ten Thousand Islands, a drove of wild turkeys in Orange county, a flight of wild geese in Wakulla county, and white-tail deer in the piney woods of Southwest Florida'.

Speaker At PTA Meeting Stresses Value of Health Says Hookworm, Infant Mor- tality, Venereal Diseases Main County Problems By MRS. RALPH SWATTS "Health begins before birth and continues unto death" was the theme of the guest speaker, Miss Louise Smith, consultant in the field of health, state department of education, at the January meeting of the Port St. Joe Parent-Teacher Association held Thursday evening of last week in the high school au- ditorium. Miss Smith, introduced by Nobie H. Stone, county supervisor of edu- cation, stressed the importance of correcting physical defects in their early stages.. "Malnutrition," she said, "is one of Florida's greatest health problems," and "disciplinary problems in the school and in the home often are due to ill health." The speaker also brought out the fact that it is of the greatest im- portance that home and school plan together for the health, not only of the child, but of every adult in the community. Parents, she added, can help the child to practice at home what he is taught in school. She also said that in studying the local health records, she had dis- covered that hookworm, venereal diseases and infant mortality are the outstanding problems in Gulf county, and that. the first step in tackling these probkbleimB-. to edu- cate the public to the needs of the community and inj taking corrective measures. She insisted these prob- lems can be greatly minimized by a study and action group composed of representatives from the home, the school and the community at large, all working and planning to- gether to Oring about a better health condition. Mr. Stone announced that as a follow-up to Miss Smith's talk, the school is having a health workshop, Thursday, Friday and Saturday of this week, with Miss Smith super- (Continued on page 8) --_ Pneumonia Causes Death of 3-Year-Old Hall Baby Graveside services were held yes- terday afternoon at Shilo Cemetery near Altha for Johnnie Hall, three- year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Shel- ton Hall of Wewahitchka, who died Tuesday at the Port St. Joe mu- nicipal hospital from pneumonia.

Our Country Right or Wrong HARRY REALLY MEANT WHAT HE SAID There was nothing that was unexpected and little that was new in the president's state of the Union message. He had covered practically all of his points before, during and after the .cam- paign. Yet the speech came as something of a shock to a good many people-mainly for the reason that this marked the first time that the entire Truman program was summed up in cap- sule form. Furthermore, this speech, along with other formal and informal statements made by the president since his election, takes the wind out of the sails of those who believed that many of the things the little guy said during the cam- paign were for vote-getting purposes only, and he didn't really mean them. Now even his po- litical opponents are convinced that he means exactly what he says. Thus, so far as he is able, he will put into full effect every campaign prom- ise he made. To us it looks like the Trumani "Fair Deal" pro- gram outdoes the "New Deal" in almost every particular-and goes a great deal farther-and, if it is adopted in large part by congress it will Jiave a far greater influence on American life and custom, and also be immeasurably more costly. It is also obvious that there are- points of striking similarity between Harry's proposed ma- jor policies and those of England's socialist la- bor government. A vastly expanded social se- curity program 4s one of these points. Others are development of government power projects, compulsory government medical insurance, gov- ernment housing. This program envisions great and fundamental changes in American life. It is a program which sanctions a more powerful centralized govern- ment than we have ever accepted in peacetime -and which must burden in one way or another the daily existence of everyone. It seems certain that congress will do a great deal of hard think- ing before it gives approval to any sizeable part of it. From what we read in the newspapers the postwar boom seems to be slowing down a bit. Some industries which, a short time back, could not meet the demand-such as household appli- ances-have been cutting production. Even in the automobile field, where shortages were really bad, conditions are changing rapidly. Some models of cars are available almost immediately. The market for the lower priced cars is still *rong, but it begins to look like manufacturers will soon have to push to make sales. A lot of people are of the opinion that-there isn't going to be a serious economic setback in the near fu- ture-but those peaks are leveling off! Keep smiling-and buy U S Savings Bonds.

(Official Navy Photograph) : Survey Would Give Better Mail Service "Highway Postoffices" and Speed- up of Star Route Services Being Urged Authorization of a survey looking towards better mail service for Northwest Florida's strategic Gulf. coast, has been announced by Con- gressman Bob Sikes. It will cover the area between Pensacola and Tallahassee traversed by Highway 98. "Highway postoffices," the new fast mail trucks- in use in some areas, are urged by Sikes for long hauls, plus a speed-up of star route services between intermedi- ate.points. In conferences with the second assistant postmaster gen- eral, he outlined delays which now cause deliveries in some Gulf coast points to run one to two days late. "A complete survey with a view to improving the service," was as- sured the congressman. The post- office department will consider the possibility of highway postoffice service, as well as other methods of improved transportation and distri- bution. Byrnes Guest Speaker At Rotary Rev.
