HELP PROMOTE PORT ST. JOE BY JOINING THE JUNIOR CHAMBER OF COMMERCE THE STAR "Port St. Joe The Outlet Port for the Apalachicola-Chattahoochee Valley" VOLUME XII PORT ST. JOE, FLORIDA FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 1949 'Dingbats' Intrigue Readers of The Star Ad Last Week Telling of New Ma- chine Creates Much Interest That advertisement we ran last week telling of the new typesetting machine we installed August of last year and didn't get around to bragging about until now, created much interest among our readers and, in spite of the fact that we had a story on it when we installed it and stated quite plainly in the ad last week that "In August of last year the publisher of The Star . received a new Linotype," practic- ally all who read the ad were un- der the impression that we had just placed it in operation. Main interest of our readers was in the "dingbats," or ornaments, which we displayed, and many in- quired how they could be used in combination, as we stated. So, we'll demonstrate right here: Dingbats are separate characters like this: t 0 + 1 K + By placing two or more together we get combinations: @-g +* **...t or we may run a bunch together, as follows *::**:**: :**-*: *-.:.'. to form a solid border if needed. And, too, they may be used with dashes to make this --*-- or this --K- and you will note that stories on the society page are separated by three dingbats like this: t . If we want to call attention to an article or picture at one side we drop in an and if below we use this type o or for particular emphasis we drop ih a "fist" a-. Larger ornaments are used principally in commercial printing. These fancy "toe nails", -.o.{ g-, or brackets, are fine to set off a word or two, like this: _., Phone 51 1.- and others, like these z,5 Cg- can be used similarly 4 Phone 51 , or used as rule ends: . Here's a fancy eagle we used to use for editorial dashes during the war and which you may still find in the editorial heading. So you see, "dingbats" are very useful critters around a printing of- fice and it's a sad shop, indeed, that doesn't have a mess of 'em to play with. __,_j__ Paper Maker Cagers To Meet Calhoun All-Stars The boys at the paper mill have organized a basketball team under the coaching of Peck Boyer, with Chuck Gibson handling the busi- ness end, and have their first offi- cial game scheduled for next Tues- day night at the Centennial Audi- torium when they meet. the Cal- houn County All-Stars, featuring Hub Chason, ex-star of the Univer- sity of Florida basketball team.

Bishop Clare Purcell will preach at the local church next Sunday evening at 7:30. He is the presid- ing bishop of the Birmingham area of the Methodist Church, which in- cludes the North Alabama and the Alabama-West Florida Conferences. Bishop Purcell is recognized as a world citizen because of his Christian leadership. He is an able speaker, and his message should be an inspiration to everyone. "We extend an invitation to all people who are not attending church elsewhere," said Rev. Loyd W. Tubb, pastor of the local church. "Please come early so that you may be seated by 7:30." 'Strip Tease' Feature of Donkey Olympics Outstanding event of the "Don- key Olympics" sponsored Sunday by the local American Legion post. was the "strip tease" featuring B. B. Conklin and Sal Cucchihari. They went to the middle of the field, shed their clothes, down to heavy red longies for B. B. and a pair of fancy shorts for Sal, and then pro- ceeded to don women's clothes, from unmentionables and a corset up to a hat. The finale of this act, a race back to the grandstand aboard don- keys, was interrupted by a sudden heavy downpour. Other events were a tug of. war, a game of keep-away, donkey polo and baseball and an archery con- test. Featured riders were Bill Tra- week and Charles Whitehead, both of whom became closely acquainted with good old Mother Earth. B. B. Conklin also staged a nifty header directly in front of the grandstand. The high school band was on hand to provide music for the oc- casion, and the girls' pep squad also was present to take part in the affair. 1 - Fractures Arm Mrs. Joe Grimsley is going about with her right arm in a sling, hav- ing fractured it by stumbling over a brick.

After basic training at Lackland Air Force Base in Texas, Claude volunteered tor the fire fighting service and was ordered to Shaw AFB for preliminary training. "Project Smoke," as the two- week training course is called, will not produce fully trained crash fire fighters, but it will give the men a basic knowledge of the work, which can be completed when they are assigned to other bases. During the course, the men will study such items as personnel pro- tection, fire-fighting and rescue techniques, and the care and opera- tion of the various types of equip- ment used by the air force. At the conclusion of the two-weektraining period, the men will be assigned to bases of Continental Air Command where crash crewmen are needed.

R. MINUS Members of the Gulf County Red Cross Chapter met with Miss Em- ilie Blackburn, general field repre- sentative for this district, at Hotel St. Joe Tuesday afternoon.

Their endorse- ment of Fuller Warren as governor, when one of the major planks of his platform was to take cattle off the highways, is a conclusive mandate to the legislature of the desires of the voters. Yet, cattlemen appear to be gathering strength and to be discussing ways and means of defeat- ing the governor in this project, so long desired and so long stifled in the legislature. What is going on, as the time for the legisla- ture grows nearer, can be seen in the following comment in the Jacksonville Journal: "Governor Warren's program to get the cattle off the highways is going through-but it is not going through without a fight, you can be sure of that. "A very good indication that a strong battle is in prospect was given recently when cattlemen of the second congressional district gathered at Green Cove Springs. Many legislators from the district were present, and it can be assumed that the cattlemen put up some strong arguments to each of the legislators. "One of the suggestions made was that the state should fence the highways so that cattle owners would not have to undergo the expense nor have the responsibility. This won't get very-far, be- cause the cost would be enormous, and why 10 YEARS AGO From the Files of The Star Ladies' Ball Game What promises to be one of the most outstanding and entertaining sports events of the year will be a ladies' baseball game tomorrow at the ball park to raise funds to pur- chase uniforms for the highly school band.

JOE, GULF COUNTY, FLORIDA should the state provide for fencing out livestock which it does not own? "As the date nears for meeting of the legisla- ture, cattlemen are sure to become more and more active. A stock-fencing law doubtless has the support of the big majority of citizens, but many of those opposed are influential and will put in some strong licks." As opposition forces align themselves for the fight at Tallahassee this spring, it behooves the rank and file of the people of the state to bestir themselves so that through no political maneu- vering will their will be thwarted. Heretofore, committees have been stacked so that any "no-fence" law would die in committee without the legislators as a whole getting a chance to vote on it. The people of Florida should impress on their legislators now that they want no such subter- fuge in the coming session, that the platform pledge of Governor Warren should be carried out, that they want the highways made safer for themselves, their children and the tourists within our borders. Florida cannot continue as a free range state and attract visitors who are the lifeblood of the state economy. The better and safer we make our highways, the better will be our tourist seasons. Now is the time to act. Don't wait until commit- tees have been appointed and.machinery set to consign the bill to slow but certain ideath.-The Pensacola Journal. We noticed an advertisement in Sunday's New York News headed "Learn Meat Cutting At Home-In Spare Time." With the cost of meat what it is today, the average student of the course couldn't afford much material to practice on, and you sure can't learn much from cutting up a couple of pork chops. When you talk about the progress of Port St. Joe and Gulf county, you should reach back some 40 years when this section was practically a wilderness, and give the people who were here at that time some credit for the present develop- ment.

JOE, FLORIDA v 4I Wisconsin Deer Are Released In Forest Reserve At Wilma Shipment Obtained By State Game Department for Restock- ing Purposes Forty-five -deer from Wisconsin were liberated last week in the Ap- alachicola National Forest near Wilma under direction of the Flor- ida Fresh Water Fish and Game Commission to replenish the sup- ply of animals in the hunting re- serve. The deer were obtained by the game department at Babcock, Wis., at a cost of $4500. The same num- ber of deer were placed in the re- serve last year, but at a different location. All the animals, 21 bucks and, 24 does, appeared to Tbe big, healthy specimens. They had been .trans- ported by truck and were fed al- falfa hay and were watered twice daily on the trip from the north. The forest where the deer were liberated is not so far distant from here that local sportsmen wouldn't be interested in knowing of the re- stocking. In fact, a number of deer hunters from Port St. Joe and this vicinity spend considerable time each season around the Apalachi- cola National Forest. Reason the deer are turned loose on a breeding ground closed to hunting is so that sportsmen may hunt on the fringes of the reserva- tion, as the deer spread out from that part of the forest where hunt- ing is not permitted. Local Dodge Dealer (Continued from page 1) Dodge were army statistics show- ing that the GI's of World War II were taller and bigger than their predecessors of World War I," Mr. McGowin said. "As a result, it was apparent that more passenger room was required in the modern car to comfortably accommodate our psy- sically larger generation." McGowin pointed out that the challenge to Dodge engineers was to design a car with more interior space and still reduce exterior di- mensions to eliminate difficulties of handling in traffic, parking and garaging. To learn how Dodge succeeded in meeting this challenge and at the same time produced a car with an entirely new and distinctive styling Mr. McGowin invites everybody to his gala open house on February 25.

The program will be used to aneet the most urgently needed soil and water conservation by sharing of the cost of approved practices, without favor to any class or group of farmers. Conservation practice funds available for 1949 are nearly double the amount that was avail- able for the 1948 program. This program is a means of co- operation between the government and the farmer. Through the' ACP the government helps to share about half the cost of approved and needed soil and water conservation practices, such as fertilizing, lim- Sinig, cover crops, clearing and plant- ing ,pasture grasses and legumes, mowing and chopping pastures and planting pine and hardwood trees. Assistance to any one farmer un- der the 1949 program is liniited to $750. All farmers are urged to take ad- vantage of the cash assistance of- fered :to conserve the soil. The first step is to visit County Agent Cubie Laird's office in Wewahitchka for information on conservation prac- tices and sign up for participation in the 1949 program.
