Pine Industry Is

Vital Factor In

South's Economy

War Opened New Markets
for Products of South-
ern Forests

A quarter centuryiago it was gen-
erally conceded that the southern
pine industry was headed for ex-
tinction.
So strong was this belief that
many lumber operators mived out
of the South and migrated west-
ward because they thought the sup-
ply would be exhausted within a
few years. But Nature-and com-
mon-sense planting-have changed
all that. as we in Gulf county can
testify.
Today the production of lumber,
and particularly pine, is not only
one of the South's leading indus-
,tries, but through good forestry
practices and public education it is
rapidly becoming one of the most
vital factors iii the economic well-
being of the South.
Recent surveys show that south-
ern forests contain 338,000,000,000
board feet of timber in saw-timber
size trees. This amounts to twenty-
seven times the annual production
during the past ten years, includ-

Warren Cutting

Budget Requests

of Departments

Must Practice Economy and
'Frontier Frugality,' In-
sists Governor

Hewing to the "frontier frugal-
ity" theme of his inaugural mess-
age, Governor Fuller Warren this
week continued to chop away at the
biennial budget requests of various
state departments, agencies and in-
stitutions.
Sitting as chairman of the cabi-
net budget commission, Warren has
taken a sharply critical view of
every request for hefty increases in
allotments from the state's tax rev-
enue.
Last Friday the governor pro-
posed that the cabinet, after it once
reviews all general fund budgets,
go over them again, whacking item
by item. The proposal brought little
comment, except for the excited
whispering 6f spectators.
Budget Director Homer Graham,
veteran state fiscal officer who was
retained by the Warren adminis-
tration, has estimated that the
overall budget would require $100,-
000,000 more than revenue in sight
for the next two years unless it is

March of Dimes

Thanks Donors

Chairman Still Hopeful for Contri-
butions From Generous Donors

Public support of the 1949 March
of Dimes in Gulf county was praised
yesterday by Henry Campbell, lo-
cal chairman of the appeal for the
National Foundation for Infantile
Paralysis. However, he states that
a number of generous contributors
of previous years have failed to re-
spond this year, and he hopes that
they will mail in their checks be-
fore the books are closed.
"Residents of Gulf county have
responded generously," said Camp-
bell, "but not to the extent that I
expected, for during the past year
the funds of the organization were
practically depleted due to the
many calls for aid, and I had high
hopes of exceeding last year's cam-
paign. However, our local people
have apparently responded to the
best of their ability, and we can ask
no more than that."
Campbell expressed his heartfelt
appreciation to those who have con-
tributed, and stated: "I want every-
one who has aided to accept my
sincere thanks as a personal mess-
age. My expression of appreciation
is 'amplified thousands of times
over by infantile paralysis patients
here and elsewhere, who are being
and will be aided because the peo-
ple of Gulf county gave to the 1949
March of Dimes."

PINE INDUSTRY
(Continued from page 1)
ing the six years of war-time pro-
duction.
More than 54,500,000 board feet
of saw timber are being added each
,day through growth of the South's
.growing stock. Southern pine saw
timber alone is growing at the rate
of more than 35,000,000 board feet
per day. This is enough southern
pine to provide for the construction
of two home every minute, if you're
interested in statistics.
It is pointed out by conservation-
ists that with careful attention our
southern forests can become in-
creasingly a perpetual source of in-
come for the South. Unlike the un-
renewable -,e 'uri:.es of or- and oil,
the forests are growing, living
bodies that are responsive to man's
skill in management.
Trees grow faster -in the South
than in any other region of the
country, the long growing season,
mild winters and abundant rainfall
contributing to make the South an
ideal timber growing region.
The southern timber industry
gives employment, to a quarter of a
million workers, and while the
South comprises only 17% % of. the
total land area of the United States
it has 30% of the total forest area
and nearly 40% of the commercial
forest lands.
The lumber and timber products
industry operates 26% of all indus-
trial plants in the South and em-
ploys 11% of -all industrial wage
earners.
The small farmers and land own-
ers, now holding better than half
of the South's timberlands, hold the
key to the perpetuation of the in-
dustry, and federal and state' agen-
cies are endeavoring to reach the
small land owner to show how
profitable a wood lot can be if
proper forestry practices are fol-
lowed.
Other contributing factors in the
rebirth of the lumber industry have
been the development of wood pulp
and paper manufacturing, and the
application of lumber to hundreds
of new uses during the war.
The war brought, home the vital
.part that is played by lumber in
the economy of the nation. Lumber
was required in ships and air-
planes, in tanks and buildings, in
packaging, and thousands of other
uses. During the war, lumber had
an opportunity to prove its struc-,
tural qualities in gigantic structures
in which glued laminated wood
arches and columns, as well as tim-
ber connectors, were used. Thus
the war opened new markets for
the products of southern forests.
And modern research continues
to develop new ways to make lum-
ber of even greater value which
will guarantee an unending source
of'inc he to the South:

FLORIDA'S TAX BILL
Economy-minded Governor Warren-and we
believe he sincerely desires to effect savings in
the cost of state government-must be seriously
disturbed by the report of the state chamber of
commerce that Floridians will have to pay a tax
bill of $636,000,000 this year. The total includes
all forms of taxation-federal, state and local. Of
the $636,000,000, $141,000,000 is in state taxes,
$55,000,000 in county taxes and $35,000,000 in
city taxes-or $231,000,000 for state and local
purposes.

eral government, about $50,000,000 will be re-
turned to the state in various "grants." This will
leave a net total of $586,000,000.
On the basis of this net total, each Floridian
will pay $252 in taxes of all kinds this year-or
$1 out of every $4 he earns.
The state gQvernment can do nothing about
federal levies. It can do something about state
levies, and the counties and cities can do some-
thing about local levies. This big tax bill can
be reduced only by strict economy in govern-
mental expenditures.
The people of Florida are looking to the Ful-
ler Warren administration to inaugurate and
carry through many of these economies.-Tamnpa
Tribune.

DOING FOR OURSELVES
President Harry's proposal for compulsory
government health insurance will e one of the
major issues to be considered by congress this
year. Of the arguments used in support of it,
one of the most generally effective seems to be
that it is often a serious burden to meet the cost
of an unexpected hospital or doctor bill.
That may be true-but it doesn't explain why
government insurance, which could cost the tax-
payers six billion dollars a year and maybe more,
is the way out. The proponents of the scheme
seem to totally ignore the fact that a large per-
centage of the American people have protected
themselves against this occurrence through one
or more of the many voluntary prepayment

cemetery, have offered to deed the
property to the city of Port St. Joe
in order that the old burial ground
may be preserved as a monument.

In the light of this, and looking
at the issue from a purely practical
viewpoint, there seems to be no
reason for saddling the country

drastically reduced.
"If, after practicing the strictest
economy and frontier frugality, the
state still must have more money
to carry on the essential and indis-
pensable functions of government."
Governor Warren said in his in-
augural address, ,"the necessary
revenue should be obtained by tax-
ing new sources, or sources which
now are lightly taxed."
Fitting action to his keynote
word on strictest economy, the gov-
ernor almost single-handedly struck
more than $500,000 from budget re-
quests in one day last week. He did
it by reasoning, argument, pleading
and inquisitiveness. Not one, item
went unchallenged by Warren.
In considering the financial needs
of the Apalachee correctional insti-
tution, the governor questioned a
proposed $70,000 contingent fund,
and succeeded in halving it. He
whittled a similar request of the
Forest Hill correctional institution
for women from $50,000 to $30,000.
On the same day, he struck $40,-
000 from proposed expenditures by
the industrial school for boys at
Marianna and $12,000 from a simi-
lar proposal by the industrial
school for girls. He also succeeded
in effecting the following reduc-
tions: $100,000 from 'the Florida
State Hospital's two-year budget es-
timate of $9,956,169: $71,280 from
the Florida Farm Colony's two-year
budget estimate of $1,038,960; $100.-'
000 from the Florida State Prison's
two-year budget estimate of $1,789,-
-020; $50,000 froth the two-y6ar bud-
get estimate of $373,000 of State
Prison Farm No. 2 at Belle Glade.
Also, at Warren's insistence, a
proposed $220,000 sewage disposal
plant at the Florida State Hospital
at Chattahoochee was delayed for
at least two years, as was a $65,000
item for construction of additional
swimming pools at the industrial
school' :oe boys' ato Mrimjnt. h..

DEAR SHOPPERS:
In 1948 Boyles Department Store
spent $1,172.58 searching for the
most outstanding market values to
offer its customers. That's not all
. when we found exceptional
buys we felt it was necessary to
inform you through the medium of
advertising, which meant an addi-
tional expenditure of $1,217.20. We
do not regret having spent a dime
of this money (total $2,389.78). We
believe it was necessary to main-
tain a high standard of merchandis-
ing and to protect the interests of
our customers. Our budget calls
for an increase in 1949. We know
our customers are looking for, and
deserve, the very best in quality
and value. We shall spend, addi-
tional effort, and money this year
to make this available to them.

Dear Shoppers, you have made
this past January the greatest one

Jessica Tandy To Be
Heard On Episcopal
Radio Hour Tonight

Recreates the Role of Virginia Mc-
Kay In Radio Adaptation of
'The World We Make'

This evening, February 4, Jessica
Tandy recreates the role of Virginia
McKay in a radio adaptation of Sid-
ney Kingsley's great drama, "The
World We Make," to be broadcast
over station WDLP, Panama City,
at 8 o'clock EST.
Miss Tandy finds a perfect ve-
hicle for great dramatic talent in
the part of Virginia McKay, a
young woman beset by fears, dis-
trust and unhealthy self-interest
resulting from the tragic loss of
her beloved brother. Virginia found
her way back to real living happi-
ness when she met a young man
who showed her, by example, how
love and faith in others conquers
the self-interest and the soul-cor-
roding despair that can come from
great personal loss or misfortune.
"The World We Make" is the
19th radio presentation of the se-
ries, "Great Scenes from Great
Plays," sponsored weekly by fam-
ilies of the Protestant Episcopal
Church and the Episcopal Actors'
Guild, and Rev. Lee Graham, pas-
tor of St. James Episcopal Church,
urges everyone to tune in on this
program tonight.
The message carried by "The
World We Make" to unchurched
people everywhere is that-in the
church-there is always the basis
for a set of living values, the source
of inner strength and security that
can guide people past all grief to
true happiness.

:gram has been recognized by critics

Leaders of unions representing rail-
road engineers and firemen seek to force
railroads to add extra, needless men on
diesel locomotives. TIis is sheer waste
-a "make-work" program which would
mean fewer improvements and higher
costs-for YOU!
Railroads use modern diesel locomotives be-
cause they are one of the means of giving
faster, better service to you.
Two men compose the crew of a diesel.
They occupy a clean, comfortable cab at the
f' o"t. The engineer handles the throttle. The
fireman sits and watches the track ahead.
Wiiil no coal-to shovel, he has practically
noihiiig else to do.
No Benefit To You
Now the leaders of the Brotherhood of Loco-
motive Engineers and the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen want
to use'the diesel locomotive as a means of
forcing a featlher-bedding scheme on the rail-
iondi. The extra' men they propose to add to
the diesel crews are not- needed. There is no
work for them. "
The union leaders are fighting among them-
selves about which union should furnish
these extra, needless men. The Brotherhood of
Locomotive Engineers have even threatened
a strike. You'may not be interested in this dis-
pute of these two unions, but you would be
vitally concerned if these groups succeed in
putting through this feather-bedding scheme,
because it would mean a slowing up of the
improvement program of the railroads-of
which the diesel is the outstanding symbol.
Diesel crews are among the highest paid

i is" ... V

Leaders ftA unions tiink jts

railroad employes-real aristocrats of labor!
Their pay is high by any standard. Granting
of these demands, therefore, would mean that
the railroads would be paying out millions in
unearned wages to those in the very highest
pay brackets.
We'd Like To Spend This Money Or. You
You know how much the diesel has meant to
you in increased speed; comfort and conven-
ience. The railroads have many more of them
on order for even greater improvement in
service to you. But needless drains of money,
such as this present demand of the unions for
needless men on diesels, reduce the ability of
the railroads to spend money on better serv-
ice for you.
Proud as the railroads are of the diesel, it is
only a small part of their improvement pro-
gram.. Since the War, literally billions of dol-
lars have been spent on improvement of

tracks and stations, on new passenger and-
freight cars, as well as on diesel locomotives,
and on the nrany other less conspicuous de-
tails of rait'rading that contribute to im-
proved service.
Feather-Bedding Means Less Service To You
But brazen feather-bedding schemes like the
one now proposed would, if successful, divert
large -:3.1: !" money from our present im-
provement programs. Even worse, they make
improvements like the diesel worthless, by
making the cost of their operation prohibitive.
These demands are against YOUR interests
-as well as those of the railroads. They are
schemes to "make work". Neither you nor
the railroads should be forced to pay such a
penalty for progress.
That's why the railroads are resisting these
"make work" demands to the last ditch-and
why they are telling you about them.

We are piblshing this and other advertisements to talk with you
at first aind about matters which are important to everybody,.

BELLOWS RE-ELECTED
MEMBER OF EPISCOPAL
EXECUTIVE COUNCIL
At the 105th annual convention
of the Diocece of Florida in Christ,
,Church held in Pensacola last
week, Robert E. Bellows of this
city was re-elected a member of
the executive council of the dio-
cese. The council administers the
missionary, educational and social
service work of the church in the
diocese and exercises all powers of
the diocesan convention between
meetings of the convention.
Rev. Lee Graham, rector cf the
local Episcopal Church, was ap-
pointed writing editor of the dio-
cesan publication, "Florida Forth."

to take their places.
Senator Russell made the pro-
posal. coupling it with an attack on
the Trumnan civil rights plan, which
calls for federal laws-against lynch-
ing, the poll tax and discrimination
in employment and on interstate
transportation facilities.
Russell,' whose aim was believed
to be to throw: down the gauntlet
against what he called "Northern
interference with the South," said
the proposed huge-scale exodus of
negroes to states north of the Ma-
son Dixon Line would be on a
purely voluntary basis-they could
go, aided by federal funds, or stay,
as they chose. He said it would also
enable 'Northern whites to move at
government expense into Southern
states to fill the gap left by the ne-
gro migration.
The Georgian called for an initial
appropriation of $500,000,000 to fi-
nance the program through the rest
of fiscal 1949, ending next June 30.
Thereafter, he said, it would cost
$1,000,000,000 for each of the next
four fiscal years.
In a speech on the senate floor,
Russell contended that if Northern-
ers are determined to force their
views on the South, then "common
fairness would demand that they as-

Public Assistance Grants Being Re-
ceived By 255 Cases
Public assistance grants paid
from state and federal funds to
Florida's needy aged and blind per-
s6ns and to dependent children
amounted to $3,414,830.50 in Janu-

ary, according to Robert Bellows,
who is a member of the District 2
welfare board. That was an in-
crease of $41,418.50 over the month
of December. The number of as-
sistance cases increased 906 from
S3.557 to 84,463.
Bellows said that. in Gulf county,
assistance grants in January to-
talled $10,954.50, as compared with
$10,666.50 in December, and repre-
sented 255 cases.
The needy and aged received

$7,827.50 as compared with $7,796
the preceding month; the needy
blind $249, as against $396.50, and
dependent children $2,698, com-
pared to $2,474 in December.-
In addition to disbursing the as-
sistance funds to those found eli-
gible, the state welfare agency car-
ried out a number of other services
to citizens throughout the state.
Surplus commodities were dis-
tributed to schools and other in-

Yes, Sir! We're Proud of Our New Linotype!

YE ED SEATED AT THE KEYBOARD OF HIS NEW LINOTYPE

In August of last year, the publisher of The Star, after almost two years
of hopeful waiting, received a new Linotype that virtually revolution-
ized our type setting by providing at one time, on one machine, eight
different type faces-available at the turn of a crank-as compared with
but two type faces at a time on our old machine. This new Linotype
saves us about a day and a half each week in time-which ain't to be
sneezed at with no help available. We wanted to run this ad
when we installed -the new machine, but we've been carrying so much
paid advertising we've never had the chance until now.
With our high speed automatic press and our new Linotype we've been
able to keep up (almost) with our work, generally being but only ten
days behind with our commercial printing (The Star must come out on
time). Drop in and look over this new machine any time.
We show below the various type faces on our new machine:
THIS IS 6 POINT BANKERS GOTHIC MEDIUM I__IT COMES IN THREE DIF-
FERENT SIZES: THIS SIZE,E THIS SIZE AND THIS SIZE ALL OF WHICH MAY
BE USED TOGETHER, As THIS LI-NE SHOWS
THIS IS 6 POINT BANKERS GOTHIC LIGHT USED SIMILARLY TO THE BANK
GOTHIC MEDIUM. YOU DON'T SEE IT IN THE ADS WE USE IT FOR JOB WORK
rTHIS IS 6 lPOINT No. 12 WITH GOTHIC No. --Used for Legal Advertisements and Job Printing
THIS IS S POINT No. 2 Which We Use for Setting All Regular Reading Matter.
THIS IS 8 POINT GOTHIC No. 3 Which We Use for Small Heads, Decks and Job Work
THIS IS 10 POINT/CALEDONIA with SMALL CAPS and Italic We use this in
our Editorial Column and Particularly for Book Work and PROGRAMS
THIS IS 10 POINT CHELTENHAM BOLD ---It's good for ads, but, like the
18 point Bodoni, we've had it so long we got sorta tired of it.
THIS IS 10 POINT RONALDSON A nice face but, like the Cheltenham
Bold, we used it too long. We'll probably get back to it as the novelty of
all the new type faces we have begins to wear off.
This Is 12 Point SPARTAN BOLD A Nice Type for Heads and Ads
This Is 12 Point SPARTAN BOLD ITALIC Ditto. Also for Sbciety Heads
THIS IS 14 POINT CHELTENHAM BOLD-CONDENSED-A face we
picked up at a bargain, but that comes in handy when we need a
"skinny" type to get more words in a small space in fairly large type

THIS IS 14 POINT CHELTENHAM LIGHT CONDENSED-A "com-
panion feature" (as Glenn Boyles would call it) to the 14 point
bold above. Fine for book work and "prissy" advertisements.

THIS IS 18 POINT BODONI BOLD We've been
using it for 11 years and sorta got tired of it, so
we don't use it much any more except on jobs

THIS IS 18 POINT SPARTAN BOLD Used In Our advertise-
ments, Job Work and for Heads

THIS Is 18 POINT SPARTAN LIGHT Used in the same ca-

pacity as the Spartan Bold

THIS IS 24 POINT SPARTAN BOLD Used In Ads,

Heads and Job Work. We also have special fig-

ures in this for advertisements: $189 2998333

THIS IS 24 POINT SPARTAN MEDIUM Used simi-

larly as Spartan Bold. $189 $2998 $333

to use it for heads, but now we prefer our new
