'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.

Bishop Clare Purcell
Will Preach Sunday
At Methodist Church

For the first time the Methodist.
people of Port St. Joe will have
the pleasure of seeing and hearing
their bishop in the local church, the
coming of the bishop being an out-
standing occasion for the church.
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

speaker, and his message should be
an inspiration to everyone.

people who are not attending

"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.

Pfc. Claude Cowort
Training In Aircraft
Crash Rescue Work

Pfc. Claude G. Cowart, son of
Mr. and Mrs. E. Y. Cowart of Ken-
ney's Mill, who enlisted in the U.
S. Air Force in October last year,
is now stationed at Shaw Air Force
Base, Sumter. S. C., where he is
taking the second basic course in
aircraft crash fire and rescue work.
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.

templates taking on an automobile
franchise in the future.

Our Country Right or Wrong


PEOPLE MUST ACT TO PEN UP COWS
The people'of Florida have voted overwhelm-
ingly for a statewide stock law. 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

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 Stalin ought to wear his hat on his ego-
but then, if he did, every time he sat down he'd
need a new hat.

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.

Farmers of Gulf County
Urged To Co-operate In
Conservation Program
Funds Available Are Nearly Double
Amount Set Aside for the
1948 Program
All farmers of Gulf county have
an opportunity to co-ope'ate in the
1949 agricultural conservation pro-
gram. 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. April 15 is the
deadline this year.
Vacationing In Mexico
Mr. and Mrs. Paul Fensom and
Mr. and Mrs. Massey Ward are va-
cationing in Mexico City while the
paper mill is down for repairs.

First Motion Pictures
'The first motion pictures were
,shown April 14, 1894, in a former
shoe store at 1155 Broadway, New'
York- City. Ten of Edison's first
kidnetoscopes were used.
A ladino is a half-breed of white

Now, today, a taxpayer ain't tossed

    GIRL SCOUT NEWS

    A number of Girl Scouts went to
    the home of Mrs. Rush Chism Sun-
    day afternoon and baked cup cakes,
    which they presented to the Boy
    'Scouts at their meeting Monday
    night in observance of the 39th an-
    niversary of Scouting.
    The regular meeting of the troop
    was held Tuesday at the parish
    house. Two new games were played
    after which the girls went to their
    patrols for their various activities.
    Officers were elected for the next
    three months, after which the girls
    worked on valentines, and the lead-
    er asked that materials for scrap-
    books and dolls be brought to the
    next meeting.

    FLORIDA MEDICO SAYS STATE
    DOCTORS MUST OFFER PLAN
    , The medical profession and other
    agencies allied with it in the task
    of keeping people healthy must of-
    fer, a plan of its own for extending
    care to the ill if the nation is to
    escape "socialized medicine," said
    Dr. J. S. Stewart of Miami, presi-
    dent of the Florida Medical Associ-
    ation last Saturday.
    In proposing that medical men
    offer an alternative plan to social-
    ized medicine, Stewart said lie be-
    lieved that federal funds "adminis-
    tered on the local level" could help
    offset rising costs of medical care
    more effectively than regimented
    medical care.
