Health Board To

Seek New Laws

From Legislature

One Would Require Yearly
Vaccination of Dogs
Against Rabies

The Florida State Board of
Health will ask the legislature to
require that all dogs in the state
be vaccinated against rabies. It
-will also request laws which would
make birth certificates confidential
.and allow suburban areas to form
sanitary districts to provide them-
-selves with water systems and
sewage disposal facilities.
It will also ask that its appropri-
tion for diabetes control and pur-
-chase of insulin be increased from
$20,000 to $60,000 a year.
The vaccination law is needed,
the board said, because rabies has
increased by more than 50 per cent
in Florida since 1946. One human
case and 332 animal cases were re-
ported last year. It added enough is
known about rabies to "control and
finally eradicate it." Several na-
tions already have the disease un-
der control.
The board recommended annual
-vaccination- of pets and hunting
4ogs8 and the- picking upt of strays-
-and unvaccinated dogs. All treated
dogs wouldctwear tags showing they
'had been vaccinated.d
The boost In thae diabetes control

New Plymouth Is-

On Display Today

Up-to-the-Minute Styling and Out-
standing Mechanical Changes

The new line of Plymouth auto-
mobiles, with outstanding mechani-
cal improvements and up-to-the-
minu.te styling, are making" their
appearance in Port St. Joe today
at the McGowin Motor Company,
local Dodge-Plymouth dealers-and
is C. A. McGowin happy!
Designers have achieved a "com-
mon sense" streamlining of the new
models in which ease of handling,
safety and comfort have received
strong consideration. The fenders,
which blend perfectly into body'
lines, are nevertheless separate and
detachable, thus avoiding sheet
metal masses so costly to repair or
replace.
Increased visibility is provided in
the windshield, Which is 37 per cent
larger, and the rear window, which
is 35.4 per cent larger.
Sedan seats are wider and deeper
both in front and rear. The width
of both cushions has been. increas-
ed with panels and arm rests so-
located as to take maximum ad-
vantage of the interior space, and.

SMALL BLAZE .YESTERDAY
The fire department was. called
out yesterday morning, to -extin-
guish a small blaze in the colored
quarters caused by a short circuit
in the electric wiring. Damage was
small. We -forgot to mention
the fire Saturday night of last
week that destroyed the garage' of
Ralph Swatts. Loss was undeter-
minable, since Ralph had a flock of
canned goods stored in the building
which he had moved from his gro-

Churches To Unite

In Taking Offering.

For World Relief

Plans Are Announced for Unprece-
dented Demonstration On
Sunday, March 27

Over 76,000 churches represent-
ing every major Christian denomi-
nation and communion have united
to take one simultaneous offering
for world relief at church services
on Sunday, March 27, according to
a statement issued by the Port St.
Joe Ministerial Association.
Whole-hearted, nation-wide sup-
port for this history-making effort
of churches in America is urged in
the statement, as follows:
"Never before in the history of
the world have the churchesof Eu-
rope and Asia been faced with
greater problems and responsibili-
ties. The fate of our civilization
may lie in the ability of the
churches, and especially churches
overseas, to meet their responsi-
bilities in carrying forth the Chris-
tian ministry. That is why this
nation-wide united effort has an
importance far beyond the practi-
cal goal 6f fund raising. For this

At this meeting it 'was agreed
that all teams could hire as many
outside players as their treasury
would permit. In other words, no
holds will be barred when it comes
to bringing in semi-plo or college
players. Action of this type last sea-
son caused considerable commotion
in league circles. -.
To- date five teams are entered
in the league; Port St. Joe, Panama
City, Apalachicola, Blountstown and
Tallahaseee, with 'WaeS hitcka not

,Mrs. C. A. Brown; Mrs::.B. E. Ken.
e5y-J, MrL'.. H..:. -UBwa;Mr D.
B. Lay and fre. ? Vai Alts A rook.
This committee will shortly get out

The other committee functioning
is that for placards and lettering,
and is made up of Mr. and Mrs.
Ralph Rich, Mrs. B. H. Munn, Mrs.
Buster Owens, Mrs. Rush Chism,
and Mrs. Fred Sutton.
Mrs. Porter states that the high

Big Bass Landed
On Fish Stringer

If you can't catch 'em with a
hook and line, catch 'em on your
fish stringer At least that's
the way A. S. Johnson and David
Mims seem to figure it.
These two gentlemen were fish-
ing in Depot Creek Wednesday
afternoon of last week and had
caught four small bream, which
they had placed on a makeshift
stringer of fishing line with a
small twig tied on the end.
Suddenly they noticed a com-
motion beside the boat-and lo,
and behold, a large bass had
struck at the still alive bream
and th.e stick on the end of the
stringer had lodged in his gills.
When we heard the story the
bass had grown to a weight of 9
pounds 2 ounces, but verifying
this oddity, Mr. Johnson informed
us it weighed .but 5/4..poulds.

lines come to life. Local folks im-
personate famous columnists and

behind the headlines. The show

to another, just as a person read-
ing a newspaper turns from one
section to another.
The audience at times is asked
to participate in the program. This
show is a new idea in home talent
technique, for it brings the audi-
ence into participation with char-
acters on the stage.
Coach Marion Craig will take the
part of Mr. John Q. Public and
Mrs. B. H. Dickens will be his wife.
These two introduce each scene as
they read their newspaper.
One of the high spots of comedy
in the show is "A Frontier Celebra-
tion," with.Alex Young taking the
part- of~- ochester; Norris McCol-
- uiuB will lave- t-he part oUGene Au-

Our Country SRight or Wrong

WHICH IS THE 'DO-NOTHING' CONGRESS?
During his campaign for election President
Truman whooped and hollered about the 80th
congress, calling it a "do-nothing congress." It
begins to look like Mr. Truman sorta got him-
self out on a limb, for the present 81st congress
begins to look like a "do-less" congress.
As far as we can find from the Congressional
Record, which comes over The Star editorial
desk every day, the present congress has passed
just three bills. One affected the state of the na-
tion. One raised the salary of the president, vice-
president and speaker of the house. One declared
a two-day holiday for federal workers during
the inauguration.
Of course, what got High Hat Harry into the
jam he's in was his desire to force upon an un-
willing people his "civil rights" program, and as
a result he's taking a beautiful licking at the
hands of Southern Democrats and enlightened
Republicans.
Harry could come right out and admit that
hes beaten on his civil rights program, but we
doubt very much that he will do so. He will con-
tinue to crack his whip and demand that eveiy-
one kowtow td" his whinms, but it ;'. n t get himn
any place fast, for the American people' don't
care to be driven-and we believe we can safely
classify our congressmen and senators up there
in Washington as people.

We've mentioned it before, this matter of mer-
chants parking their cars in front of their places.


of business and leaving them there all day. They
don't seem to realize that they're hurting their
own business. The editor personally has started:
for a particular store to buy something, but find-
ing no place to park has gone on to another store
handling the same article-one that happened to
have a vacant parking- space, generally down
near the intersection of Reid Avenue and Fifth
Street. Perhaps it isn't important, we wouldn't
say, since we're off here on a side street where
cars seldom park, but we've heard a lot of women
speak of the parking situation-and, after all,
they're the ones who do the most shopping. We
should keep 'em happy and contented.


We note that practically every paper in this
section of Florida has signed up with a concern
that takes pictures of youngsters and furnishes
the papers, without cost, cuts to be used in the
paper. The promoter of this scheme came into
The Star office last week and endeavored to
sign us up on his proposition, but we turned him
down cold. He cajoled and wheedled, pointing
out to us that it would increase our circulation,
create good will and that loving parents would
treasure copies of The Star having the pictures
of their youngsters in them. All he would get
out of it would be the sale of photographs.: We
blandly told him that we didn't fall for such
sucker propositions, and that if he wanted to
come into Port St. Joe to take pictures, that was
his business and that the advertising columns of
The Star would be open to him, but we'd be dog-
goned if we'd furnish him free advertising for
the promotion of his racket. To the publishers of
those papers who fell for this "snow bird" pro-
motion we say, "Hello, Sucker."


The editor of The Star isn't alone in his cen-
sure of President Truman for using language un-
fitting a gentleman over the air. The New York
city council drew up a resolution censuring the
president for the use of language which sets a
bad example to the youth of theocity (we should,
tp-,1.,1" take into consideration the fact that
N-. Y.- i is D.:'. ~'.s state). Aywvay, here's the
gist of it: "Resolved, that the city council of the
city of New York expresses its sorrowful disap-
proval of the disparaging remarks of President
Truman, calls upon the congress of the United
States to join in this- censure, and calls on the
president to apologize to this nation and set an
example by his humility to our youth."


especially are we proud to show
STARDUST and 'emn our new Linotype machine. A
STARDU S a d lot of townspeople whom we have
MOONSHINE known for the 12 years we've been
O SHINE here are just now getting around
to wondering how printing is done,
Man, oh, man, but this man's and are dropping in. They find,
army sure is changed to what it much to their surprise, that we're
used to be when we scratched not in league with the devil, that
cooties in it. Can you im-n printing is not a matter of necro-
aging -the. recruiting officer writing mancy, and that-, after it's explained
you nice homey letters after he's to them that there really is nothing
signed: -ou up? And more unbeliev- to it. ... However, it's seldom
able. can you imagine yourself that a stranger takes such an inter-


writing him a letter and telling him
how you're getting on? Well,
what we've been hearing about the
nice things they do for the boys in
the service now seems to be corro-
borated somewhat by a letter on
another page of this issue of The
Star written by one of our own
boys in Japan to the big cluck who
signed him up on the dotted line.
. Look for it and read it.

We've just finished reading Alex-
ander Key's book just off the press,
"The Wrath and the Wind," which
deals with old St. Joseph and Ap-
alachicola back in their lusty and
bawdy days when Florida was yet
a territory. It's got an inter-
esting plot running through it, the
greater part of the characters have
actually lived and, from our own
delving into the history of the an-
cient city of St. Joseph, events hap-
pened almost as he records them.
However, from the language
he uses, Mr. Key must think he is
president of the United States.

We're always proud to have peo-
ple come in and look around, and


est. We were agreeably surprised,
therefore, when a gentleman came
in to buy a copy of The Star and
expressed a keen interest in print-
ing, and especially in our new Lino-
type. We offered to show him how
a line went through the machine
and, in a sly maneuver to learn his
name, told him we'd set his name
on a slug. So, we found he was
Frank E. Green and that he was re-
siding at Mexico Beach, and also
that in his younger days he used to
have a printing press of sorts and
a shirt-tail full of type, from which
he derived much enjoyment.

Editor The Starr:
Kansas! You sister and breth-
ren elsewhere, take heed. Out
there in the old Sunflour state-in
that there land of wheet, rollin'
vistas, horse sense, and grand pee-
ple -they is a plan a-foot to git its
citizens back to 100 pct. self-reli-
ance and self-respect. They is goin'
to try do do sumpthin about it be-.
four Kansas turns out to be jist
another softie where, on the least
excuse, everybuddy kin sit in the
shade and ring up the Uplift Agent
or however he's listed in the ielly-
phone book, and ask the guy to
send out the groceries, or the dole,
or the penshun-an' rite away.
Where is that there old rugged
Amerikan eagerness to take off the
.eoat and feed and care for the
household? It's a-slippin', sez Kan-
.sas. So out there, in the legisla-
ture, is a proposed bill' requiring'
every growed and able-bodied Jay-
hawker son and dotter (and mebbe
:sum of them things the president
mentioned) to kum to the aid of
there parents when and iffen their
mom or there pop shud need help.
Now, would say Confucius, "Kan-
:sas is on the frunt burner."
In every state, as up there on the
rollicksome Potomac, the contest
is on-who kin think up the most
novell way to spend or give away
the mostest, the quickest. But most
people are agin the cuckoo ideas-
but do nothing' about it-tell Gover-
nur Warren, tell everbuddy, tell
Mare Joe Sharitt-tell 'em about
Kansas.
Yours with the low-down,

CHURCHES TO UNITE

(Continued from page 1)
great joint program will not only
strengthen the vitally important re-
lief and rehabilitation work of the
churches overseas but will also
prove "to all the world just how
great is the power generated when
Christians unite in such a great
common cause." .
As a prelude to this demonstra-
tion, on Saturday evening, March
26, a -nation-wide radio program-
"One Great Hour"-will be broad-
cast for the churches of America
by the contribution of the full net-
works of CBS, ABC and MBS from
10, to 11 p. m. EST. "One Great
Hour" will dramatize the great
need of the people in Europe and
Asia for food, medicine and cloth-
ing, and even more important, the
great hunger of these people for,
the Christian faith and strength
that will help them to rebuild their
war-torn world.
The broadcast will close with an
appeal from the churches in Amer-
ica to the American people to go
to church on Sunday morning,
March '27, and make there a truly
sacrificial gift which will be re-
ceived in the name of Christ for all
humanity.

Clubs Plan Ball Game
At a meeting of directors of the

Planning Oyster
Cultivation Program
For Apalachicola
JVIass Meeting Held In Oyster City
Hears Authority On Culti-
vation of Bivalves
Plans for starting Florida's first
district oyster cultivation program
were outlined at a mass meeting
held last Saturday night in Apa-
.achiicola.
iDr., F. G. Walton Smith of the
.UTiiversity of Miami, director of
facts must be found out about the
oyster before the actual rehabilita-
tion program can be started.
He said the legislature will be
-asked to 1 -ohibit the taking of oys-
ters from public bars in the Apa-
lachicola Bay area from April 1 to
October 1 and to set aside specific
areas for the taking of seed oysters.
Dr. Smith, who is serving as di-
rector of the program without pay,
.said the legislature also will be
asked to prohibit the taking of oys-
ters less than three inches in length
and to close portions of St. Vin-
cents' Bar for the planting of shells.
Among other officials attending
the meeting were Dr. Paul S. Galts-
hof.f, research biologist for the U.
S. Fish and Wildlife Service; Dr.
Robert Ingle, assistant director of
the cultivation program, and Geo.
thishi, state conservation super-
visor.

HEALTH BOARD
(Continued from page 1)
e& health distributes insulin but
can't afford to buy the drut'.
The agency said it will ask the
legislature to "provide that the
:state registrar shall issue certified
copies of all or any part of any vi-
tal record only to persons who have
a legitimate interest in such rec-
,ords." Main purpose of this change
is protection of the individual from
unnecessary disclosures of such
facts as illegitimacy, unknown par-
.entage, adoption and other data
-which may cause embarrassment.
Such details are a matter of pub-
lic record at present and available
to anyone. The board suggested is-
suance of a "birth registration
-card" which would carry the .in-
:dividual's name, sex, date and place
-of birth, date of filing and birth cer-
tificate number. It would "be ade-
-quate in the vast majority of cases
in which a copy of the birth cer-
tificate is now required," the board
,said.
Another recommendation would
permit use of a single "stillbirth'
'certificate for registration of a still-
born child. Stillborn children must
be registered now as both births
.and deaths.
.An act authorizing creation of
saxiltary districts will be asked be-
cause of "a steady increase in pop-
ailation living outside of cities
'where public sanitary utilities are
mot available."
The board said many Floridians
live where no public water supply
'exists and in some areas the high
ground water level keeps septic
tanks from working properly. The
proposed measure would let free-
holders set up their own sanitary
districts to provide themselves
'with utilities.
NOTICE
Notice is hereby given To Whom
It May Concern that on the 8th day
of March, A. D. 1949, the Board of
,County Commissioners of Gulf
County, Florida, duly adopted a res-
olution closing, vacating and aban-
doning a fifteen foot alleyway lying
between 5th Street and 6th Street
of Block Nine of Beacon Hill Sub-
division of Gulf County. Florida.
This notice is to be published one
time within thirty days following
the adoption of said resolution, pu-r
suant to Chapter 24205, Laws of
Florida, Acts of 1947.
