HELP PROMOTE PORT -ST. JOE BY JOINING THE JUNIOR CHAMBER OF COMMERCE -5 A 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, FEBRUARY 18, 1949 NUMBER 21 Warren Would Return To Real Estate Tax For State Flood Control Proposes That Two-Mill Levy Be Assessed Over a Period of Ten Years A return to a state-wide tax on real estate to finance flood control over the next ten years will be recommended to the legislature by Governor Fuller "Warren. In meeting with' his cabinet and leaders of the legislature and other citizens' committees on water con- trol, the governor proposed that the state's $37,000,000 share of the pro- gram of flood control be paid at the rate of two mills per year for ten years (this would include presently exempted homesteads). Such an amendment would be submitted as an emergency (did anyone ever see one of these so-called "emergency". taxes repealed?), for public vote within 90 days after legislative ac- tion. The whole program, of harness- ing the Kis'simmeeRiver valley and Lake Okeechobee to prevent dis- astrous floods over South Florida will cost $209,000,000, with the bulk of it being paid by the federal gov- ernment. The state, by constitu- tional amendment, abolishel real estate ,taxes for state purposes in 1940. t Legislative leaders, meeting with the governor, expressed the view that if this plan is adopted and the people should reject it at the polls, the legislature might then have, to meet in special session to" take some other flood control tax. APALACHICOLA BAY PROJECT APPROVED After a preliminary survey, the South Atlantic Division Army En- gineers office has approved im- provement 'of Apalachicola Bay. The project calls for a small boat channel six feet deep and 100 feet ' -wide at East Point, and a basin nine feet deep and 500 feet square at Apalachicola. Final approval of the project will depend on a more detailed survey, which also will determine the cost. TRUMAN HAS BEST JOB Newsmen say that the country's best job easily is that of President Truman. To jet his net income, any other citizen would have to earn $3,500,000, a year, and none- ap- proach that. figure. The president nets. $110,000 from a taxable salary and $50,000 non- taxable expenses, also gets a man- sion sitting on a 16-acre estate, a yacht, special planes and trains, plus other conveniences. --'------- --' Home From Visit Mrs. J.

Bill Would Levy Tax On Home County Fishing Proposes To Tax Pole Anglers $1; Needed for Hyacinth Control Director Ben Morgan of the state game and fresh water fish commis- sion will ask the legislature to re- quire Florida's "cane pole" fisher- men to buy $1 county licenses. At present you can fish free in your home county, using as many as three poles if you so desire. You don't have to buy a license unless you use a rod and reel, leave your own county, or are not a resident of the state. Morgan estimated the sale of county licenses would raise $500,- 000 annually. Most of the money- would go for water hyacinth con- trol. "If we don't do something about water hyacinths, there isn't going to be any place to fish," he declared. Children, under 15 and adults over 65 would be exempt from buy- ing the licenses. The oldsters would have to be residents of Florida to claim the exemption, but there would be no residence requirement .for the children. If the county fishing license pro- posal is defeated by the legislature, Morgan, said he will ask that the tax on gasoline used, in boats be partially devoted to hyacinth con- trol; Under his plan, the boat gas tax, would be split three ways. The state road department woulq get 5.% for, maintaining bridges, and the other 75 %' woul4 be divided, be- tween the game commission ;.and; the state board of -c_6servatifon. 'The board of conservation regulates salt water fishing. Morgan.also will seek more strin- gent penalties for hunting law vio- lators. He wants authority to con- fiscate hunting, equipment used for such serious violations as shooting doe deer, night hunting and hunting in sanctuaries. "A lot of men are glad to pay a fine .just so they can shoot a doe deer," he said. He will ask for higher fines for game law violators in addition to the confiscation provision. BOOM TIME ROAD DEBT OF STATE IS BEING PAID OFF The debt- that Florida owes for its boom time roads and bridges is down to $118,082,000, or less than half the original principal and in-' terest. ' The state board of administra- tion reports that in another 25 years Florida will have paid off the bond issued for building of roads and bridges during the lavish days of Florida's boom. This debt is paid out of the state gasoline tax and is handled entirely by this state agency, Ad Really Got Results Bill Trawick came into The Staar office Wednesday to place a classi- fied ad to sell his outboard ,motor and boat. .Thursday morning he told us to kill the ad, since he had sold the outfit. "Boy, but those classified ads' sure get results," said Bill. "Here I've made a sale before the ad was printed."

Sharks Eliminated By Chipley In Canference Basketball Tournament SThe Malone high school Tigers swept to the 1949 Northwest Flor- ida High School Conference basket- ball championship Saturday night at Chipley by whipping a gallant but bad shooting Bay high team from Panama City 33 to 20. The finalists advanced to Satur- day's playoff with victories over Chipley and Niceville. Niceville, Panama's semi-final opponent, was second-seeded, and Chipley, an un- seeded dark horse, was felled by the Tigers of Malone. The dark horse Chipley outfit turned in an impressive perform- ance in whipping a scrapping Port St. Joe quintet 56 to 41 in the out- standing game of the opening round Thursday. The game quickly developed into a scoring battle between Chipley's Billy Maddox and Buster Owens of the St. Joe Sharks. Owens took down first honors with 23 points, while Maddox, who hit 16 tallies during the first half, was used spar- ingly during the second stanza but wound up only one point behind with 22. Both had 11 field goals. Chipley's superior bill handling was the deciding factors leading; 15 to 8 at the first quarter, 33 to 18 at the half and increased its margin to 46-29 during the third period. Mill Is Expected To .

Cage Tourney Opens In Apalachicola Thursday Widespread Interest Manifested In Northwest Florida Affair "The use of town teams in sports events has been found to be one of the most successful methods of building community consciousness," was the statement made yesterday by Coach Bill Buchanan of Chap- man high school, Apalachicola. Buchanan is-chairman of the ar- rangements committee covering the actual playing to be staged at the District 4 Boys' Independent Bas- ketball Tournament to be held in Apalachicola next Thursday, Friday and Saturday. In speaking of the results ob- tained through independent basket- ball contests, Buchanan pointed out that hot only the town itself benefits through the cementing of all interests in a common cause, but benefits accrue -to the entire sec- tion- of the state involved. In this instance, all Northwest Florida re- ceives favorable publicity. Independent boys 'teams from all communities from Tallahassee to Pensacola are being-invited to en- ter the tournament.

Our Country Right or Wrong TRUMAN, HOOVER AND POVERTY For three long years after the dream world of big business in America vanished with the '29 market crash, Herbert Hoover kept telling the folks that prosperity was just around the corner, It's better to try to forget those days of world- wide depression and human suffering. However, it was only a few months before the Wall Street financial disaster-twenty years ago to be exact -Mr. Hoover was saying there could be an end to poverty. Now comes Harry Truman, in the days of post- war prosperity, to ask for additional billions' with the hope to end poverty in the United States. Where Hoover proposed to end this curse thru priming big business, Truman proposes to do it through further socializing the federal govern- ment, To end poverty in this most wealthy nation of :-all the nations would be one of the most won- ,derful things in the world. In the field of eco- nomics it would be comparable to science dis- covering a way to give us spring weather, plenty .of sunshine and an occasional shower the year- round, or finding vitamins that would keep, wo- men looking "sweet sixteen" and men with the physical strength of Joe Louis. It is good for a Truman or a Hoover to want to make an end of poverty. No sensible person likes to see a fellow human in need of food, clothing, - medical or dental aid and not have the money for it. But we don't believe that poverty can be wiped out through legislation in Washington, D. C. There are some families if given $10,000 each on January I would on December 31 have spent the entire sum and be in debt several hundred. There must be allowances for misfortune, and there have to be allowances for careless living. Rather, we agree with the writer of the state- merit in Proverbs: "The rich and the poor meet together, the Lord is the maker of them all." And also the statement by Christ as recorded in the gospel according to St. John: "For the poor you always have with you." Harry Truman and Herbert Hoover should be against poverty with as much zeal as Edgar Hoo- ver and Dick Tracy are against crime. Neverthe- less, Mr. Truman should keep in mind that too much government spending will place too heavy a burden on too many of the taxpayers. And if congress gives him the billions he wants, you had better get ready to hear more'about that "cor- .ner" Herbert Hoover talked, about when he was in the White House.-Culbnan (Ala.) Tribune, WE APPRECIATE OUR SCOUTMASTER Boy Scout Week has just been observed in Port St. Joe, marking the birthday of the nation- wide organization which was founded thirty-nine years ago. There can be little doubt of the possibilities .for self-development which are presented to boys who join this organization. Like everything else, however, the strength of the work in any given area depends upon the adult leaders in charge of it. This moves us to observe that, in Port St. Joe, we should appreciate the contribution of time and effort that is being made by the local scout- master, J. T. Simpson. Men like Simpson, who give unselfishly of their time and talent to pro- mote scouting, are contributing themselves to the development of our "boys. They deserve the thanks and appreciation of all of us and some recognition of the contribution 'that they are making to the community. Tin cans have been the making of the can- opener industry, not to mention the tin-can tour- ist industry. Star Classified Ads Bring Quick Results At Small Cost! 0 WE KEEP YOU IN THE BEST OF.

MINORS CONSTITUTE OVER THIRD OF STATE POPULATION Since 1940 Florida's population has been "growing younger," re- versing a trend established since the turn of the century. Latest es- timates place the population of the state at 2,356,000 on July 1, 1948. Of this total 868,000, or*36.8%, were under 21 years of age. In 1910, the earliest report for which this age breakdown is read- ily available, showed that persons under 21 years of age made up 47.7% of Florida's total population. This percentage decreased gradu- ally with each census. In 1920 it was 44.5, in 1930 it fell to 41, and in 1940 it was 35.7. The 1948 report is the first appreciable indication of the increasing proportion of young people in Florida's population. .This population pattern of Flor- ida is 'in contrast with the national trend. In 1900, persons under the age of 21 made.up 46.3% of the na- tions total population. This percent- BEER AND WINE . ... DINE AND DANCE.

"I think we should oppose such a loan-even fog something as important as water control," said Wendell C. Heaton, general coun- sel for the Florida Federation of Labor. "We'd rather pay our share some other way." Heaton said the $73,000,000 now on hand is enough to meet all pos- sible demands in case of depres- sion, "but not too much." He said he doubted that congress would ever pass a bill consenting to such a loan. Attorney General Ervin, who threw out the suggestion recently, said he thought both congressional and state legislative action would be necessary to touch the jobless benefit reserves. Ervin said the borrowing plan had been suggested as a means of raising the $3,000,000 a year which the state must put up to match a $17,000,000 federal fund for con- struction of the huge south and cen- eral Florida water control project. The fund is now invested by the federal government in U. S. bonds, and under the suggested plan the money would be paid back to the unemployment compensation re- serve fund at interest: Forestry is Florida's third most important industry.

MINUTES OF COUNTY COMMISSION Labor Seeks Repeal of Closed Shop Law Believes Necessary Majority Can Be Secured In '49 Legislature Organized labor leaders are de- bating whether this is the year to start their movement to take the five-year-old closed shop ban out of Florida's constitution. Tom Wat- son, then attorney general, spon- sored the amendment in 1944 and it was adopted by a vote of almost two-to-one by the people. Labor feels it can get the neces- sary three-fifths majority in the 1949 legislature to submit the re- peal amendment to a. statewide vote, but is looking further into the chances of getting the people to reverse their .1944 vote. One factor in the decision of whe- ther to move for repeal in the 1950 general election or wait again, is the fact that it is an off-election year. Some feel that is the best time, because with few statewide contests on the ticket to stir up in- terest, organized labor may be able to "steam up" its members and make a heavier proportionate show- the board did then adjourn until the second Tuesday in March, the same being the 8th day of said month, unless called in special ses. sion by the chairman or vice-chair- man.
