JOE, FLORIDA, FRIDAY, APRIL 8, 1949 NUMBER 28 Editor Still Alive After April Fool Rayon Mill Hoax City Quiets Down Following Expectations Aroused By Article Following the impact of that two- column headline last week in re- gard to the Emanon (Noname) mill that supposedly was to be erected here, the editor is still alive despite threats of shooting, hanging and tar and feathering. As we went up the street Friday morning to get our mail, three irate motorists done their best to run us down, but we were too watchful for such playfulness. Alex Young read only the front page part of the ar- ticle-he got around to the ending about 6 o'clock Friday night, and phoned our wife that she'd soon be a widow, for he was coming around with his shotgun. Postmaster H. A. Drake, on reading the story 'Thursday evening when we took the papers to the postoffice, ad- vised us to take a week off and go fishing, but we told him there was too much work to do, and anyway, we'd been shot at before plenty. Dan Brooks cut off our credit at his hardware emporium, but when we told him we needed five gallons of paint, he immediately discovered that we had an excellent rating in Bradstreet & Dun ... . No other events of -major import- ance occur to us .t. ti, i[,.ment, but suffice to say, everyone can rest easy for another six years or so before April Fools Day again falls ,on Friday, publication day of The Star.

Saints Practicing Daily At Ball Park Many Regulars and Newcomers Out To Make the Team Daily practice for te Saints, the Port St. Joe team in the Gulf Coast Baseball League, began this week at the new ball park near the Cen- tennial Auditorium, with many of last year's regulars on hand as well as a host of newcomers anxious to get in the lineup. Buster Owens, manager of the team this year, stated Tuesday that members of last year's team show- ing up so far are Leonard Belin, "Fish" Herring, Dallas Weeks, Ben- nie Burke, Bert Cox, Hardy David- son, Bucky Walters, Frank Hannon and Jimmy Cox. With this nucleus' he feels that with new players not yet selected he can put a winning aggregation in the field. There has been some talk of pro- viding lights at the new stadium for night ball, but as yet nothing concrete has been developed. Pan- ama City and Blountstown, both having teams in the league, already have lighted fields. ----------- NORTONETTES AND KIWANIS BASKETBALL TILT TONIGHT What promises to be a basketball game that will be talkedabout for some time will be staged this eve- ning at 8 o'clock in the Centennial Auditorium when the Nortonettes, champs of the Apalachicola Valley Conference, meet a team made up of players from the Kiwanis Club. Admission will be 25c and 50c, Price of School Lunches Reduced Action Taken Due To Closing of St. Joe Paper Mill Due to the recent closing of Port St. Joe's main industrial plant, the St. Joe Paper Company mill, and the resulting effect on many fam- ilies, Principal Marvin Rooks has decided to reduce the price of plate lunches with milk, being served at the local schools, to 15 and 20 cents beginning next- Monday, for the re- mainder of the school year.. It is hoped that this reduction will en- able all children to continue eating their noon meal in the lunch room. The local school has a well- planned program of food service that seeks to meet the needs of all children, and with the-aid of fed- eral funds, well-balanced meals with milk have been provided at a cost of 20 and 25 cents. In addition to the noon lunch, an early morn- ing lunch of milk and an afternoon refresher of fruit juice is served to meet the needs of the children. This full program is possible be- cause of the fine co-operation among the administratorss of the program and the efficient manage- ment in the lunch room. Like any well run business, every penny the child pays, every contribution of money and surplus commodities from the government is used by Mrs. H. A. Hardy, the lunch room manager, to good advantage. The local school lunch program is part of the national school lunch program provided for by the fed- and everyone is urged to attend, for eral government, and in Gulf county we feel those men have quite a sur- more than 50 per cent of all chil- prise in store for them when they dren are being reached by some tangle with those Amazons. phase of this program. City Now Distribution Point for Sinclair Oil Vans Working Out of Here Will Cover Large Area ' (This, is no April Fool story) The Sinclair Oil Company, which for some time past has been using Greensboro as a distribution center for this area, has transferred its operations to Port St. Joe and the first "dry" cargo, consisting of 800 cases of greases and canned oils and about 800 drums of oil, in the neighborhood of 460 tons, arrived Tuesday aboard the E. R. Kemp. Sinclair will occupy about half of the city warehouse and W. J. Maz- arol of New Orleans will act as terminal superintendent. It is esti- mated that approximately 600 to 700 tons of oils and greases will be handled monthly, being carried by huge vans as far as Atlanta and Birmingham on the morth, Talla- hassee on the east and Pensacola on the west. The operations will start with three vans, and will be increased to five vans, using eight drivers, a-ccording to Carl H. Ve- reen, field representative for the corporation, who is here working out details. In addition to Mr. Vereen, three transportation specialists, Jerry Fis- ter, Roger Hoi-ne and Mr. Malone, all of New York, are here this week, as is R. C. Astin, manager of the traffic distribution department of Sinclair's Atlanta office. School Band Gets Division II Rating The Port St. Joe high school band returned Saturday from the music festival held in Pensacola with a Division II rating, according to C. F. Harrison, director. "The music festival committee gives the bands their rating from scores outlined by six judges of music," said Mr. Harrison. "The divisional ratings are numbered from I to V, I being the highest rating possible. "Schools of the state enter bands in A, B, C and D classes," he ex- plained, "and the number of stu- dents in a high school band is the basis used to assign classes. The St. Joe band participates in C class every year." DATE SET FOR BALL GAME Date for the Kiwanis Rotary annual grudge baseball game has been set for Wednesday afternoon, April 27. Team lineups will be given next week. - Will Attend 0. E. S. Grand Chapter Mrs. Estelle Griffin of Wewa- hitchka, Mrs. W. H. Howell, Mrs. George Cooper, Mrs. Florazelle Con- nell, Mrs. D. C.

'" First Annual Meet of Gulf Coast Co-op Set For Tomorrow Members From Four Coun- ties Will Gather In Wewahitchka Tomorrow is going to be a big day in Wewahitchka when an an- ticipated 900 members of the Gulf Coast Electric Co-operative and their families invade the county seat city for the first annual meet- ing of the organization. The co-op covers Gulf, Bay, Washington and Calhoun counties. This first annual get-together be- gins at 9 a. m., and in addition to the business meeting there will be plenty of good music provided, talks by Congressman Bob Sikes and Earl M. Lynch, of the REA, a big free fish fry, demonstrations of electrical appliances, and a drawing for more than 50 electrical appli- ances and other prizes. An election of a board of direc- tors for the ensuing year will be held, with the following nominees selected on March 16 by a nomi- nating committee: C. L. Morgan and R. S. Spencer of Wewahitchka, and Be'rnard Pridgeon of White City, to represent Gulf county; E. B. Banks of Crystal Lake, to repre- sent Washington county; A. L. Tyn- dall of Gaskin,_and W. M. Johnson of Kinard, to rep'resert Calhoun~ county; John Beadnell of Allenton, B. E. Tillman of Southport, and I. F. Enfinger of Bennett, to represent Bay county.

This ip only the beginning of an ambitious project sponsored by the club toward beautifying the city, and it is hoped that within a few years Port St. Joe will be one of the most beautiful cities in this section of the state. City officials are supporting this project 100 per cent, and if this were -not the case, club members feel they would find it impossible to undertake such a great respon- sibility. The garden club is asking that everyone give their co-operation in the project by not injuring or de- stroying the shrubs, and the club feels it can count on every man, woman and child giving their full- est co-operation in order that the club may continue with its work of beautifying the city. Fifty redbud trees were received this week from A. S. Mitchell and have been allocated to property owners on the coastal highway. Other shrubs and trees will be given property owners in the fu- [ ture for further beautification. Return Home After Visit Mrs. W. E.

POR ST JE GL COUTY FL D PAG THE Florida Waters Being Stocked With Tag Fish Ten Thousand Mullet Released for Research Problems Ten thousand tagged mullet will be released in Florida waters some time this year as a part of the mill- let research program undertaken by the University of Miami marine laboratory for the state board of conservation. Fishermen and fish dealers will be asked to watch for the tagged fish, remove the small plastic discs and mail them to the university. Fish dealers will be provided with forms to report the size of the fish, the place it was taken and the date. The tagging program is designed to tell the researchers the rate at which mullet grow, the age at which they first spawn, and some- .thing of their movements. In an- other branch of the investigation, young mullet are being reared in a pond at Cedar Key. Breeding habits are being watched and the possi- bility of "pond cultivation" on a commercial scale is being investi- gataed. George Vathis, conservation su- ,pervisor., states that the waters of the state produce more mullet than any other type of fish, "but until recently remarkably little was known of the life history of the fish." Many Needy In Gulf County Receive Aid From Welfare Board Robert Bellows, who is a member of the district welfare board, re- ports that there were eight needy blind persons in Gulf county who received assistance through the Florida State 'Welfare Board dur- ing March. Services and assistance provided weren't, confined to the blind, how- ever. Persons over 65 years of age who have been found to be in need receiving grants through the pub- lic welfare program totaled 188. Their checks had a cash value of. $7,925. Dependent children in 68 fam- ilies also received assistance dur- ing the month. Their grants came to. $3,014. Children benefiting from that program are needy ones in homes where one or the other par- *ent has died or. deserted, or. where the parent is incapacitated' for work. Some of: them live in the homes of close relatives who have accepted the responsibility for car- ing for them, but do not have the' means. Harvesting. diseased, crooked or crowded trees through selective cutting makes the remaining trees grow faster. Wat GOES INTO ,A PRESCRIPTION?

Our Country 'Right or Wrong SUBSCRIPTIONS MAY GO UP As all of you loyal subscribers who have been taking The Star for the past eleven and a half, years know, the price has remained at $2.00 a year-slightly less than four cents per copy. Des- pite increased costs in paper, ink, equipment and other necessities that are required to get out a newspaper; not to mention increased living costs which must be met if the editor is to continue to keep up his health in order to continue to is- sue The Star, the price has not been boosted. Other publications of all types have increased their subscription prices-some more than doubl- ing-but the editor of The Star has always felt that increased costs should be passed along to advertisers rather than the readers, since it is the readers who make it profitable for advertisers to present their wares through the advertising columns.' However, if a measure now before congress is made into law, we will be forced to increase the yearly price of The Star to at least $3.00, and per- haps more, for this proposed bill would increase mailing costs by approximately 250 per cent over a period of two years. So, if you would like to see the subscription rate of your home town pa- per remain at its present level you can help ma- terially by dropping a card or letter to your con- gressmen and senators up there in Washington, urging them to vote against the measure. You have all discovered that you are paying higher rates for parcel post, air mail, money or- ders and third class matter, such as Christmas cards, but do you know why? The reason is the pay increase granted postal employes recently by congress, which created a postal deficit. of around $500,000,000. We're not against this- in- crease for the postal employes, they deserve it, hbut we are opposed to the idea of upping costs .of one class of mail users two to three times to make up the deficit. Only reason higher rates on newspaper mailings didn't go, through with in- creases on other classes of mail was that it re- quires a special act of congress. The editor of The Star has often suggested that the annual postal deficit could be cut ma- 10 YEARS AGO From the Files of The Star Wood Seated As House Speaker G. Pierce Wood of Port St. Joe, representative from Liberty county, took his seat Tuesday as speaker of the Florida house of representa- tives for the 1939 session. He was chosen for the position at a pre-ses- sion caucus held at Moon Lake. Wood was escorted to the rostrum amid a wave of applause by Repre- sentatives Lewis of Gulf, Christie of Duval, and Tomasello of Okecho- bee, all former speakers of the house. First Services At New Church The first service was held last Sunday night in the new Episcopal church recently completed on 6th Street. Rev. Glion Benson read the service, after which Judge John Carter of Marianna gave a short terially, and perhaps completely eliminated, if our congressmen and senators were compelled to pay postage on all the bull they send out under the franking privilege and if all government de- partments were likewise compelled topay post- age on the crap they send out by the bushel. Every mail brings into The Star office propa- ganda from the hundreds of government bureaus. An infinitely small portion of this is informative, and may appear in the columns of The Star, but 99.9 per cent of it goes direct to the wastebasket, the greater part of it unopened and unread. If the government would dispense with such mailings which are mostly "puffs" for overstaffed bureaus, they might save enough expense money to cut down the postal deficit. ' There's one thing sure-if this new schedule of mailing rates for newspapers goes through, we won't even take this government publicity out of the postoffice. We'll simply hand it back to Post- master Drake and tell him to mark it refused. Then if the goverAment wants news of draft notices, bond drives, civil service examinations, income tax notices, conservation plans, exten- sion department meetings, AAA schedules and hundreds of similar notices published it can pay for them like any other advertiser. UTAH REJECTS TAX-SUBSIDIZED PILLS The senate of the Utah state legislature has gone on record in opposition to government med- icine. In a niemorial, this legislative body de- scribed the dangers that are an inescapable part of compulsory federal health insurance, with all the attendant political controls and prerogatives that would come along with it. The editor of The Star feels that the Utah solons have the right idea, and we'd like to see the Florida legislature in the session now underway pass a similar res- olution. Said the laddiebucks of Utah, in part: "It is an acknowledged and unquestioned fact that the general health of the nation is higher than that of any other nation in the world. "Free enterprise, individual initiative and free- dom from government interference are the foun- dation stones upon which the practice of medi- ,cine and all other great enterprises of this couin- try have been developed. Government interference and regimentation in the field of medicine will destroy the spirit of research and individual initiative and will eventually result in a breakdown of the present high standards of competency now prevalent in the private prac- tice of medicine in this country." Westerners have always been as independent as a hog on ice-we know, because we're one of the critters-and figure they can take 'care of themselves without any outside assistance, es- pecially like this measure, which would make you a subject for government-subsidized doctors whether you liked it or not. We're looking forward to the time when a man not drawing some kind 6f a pension from the government will be viewed with suspicion and not be allowed to move in the politer circles of society. talk. The sermon was by Rev. V. C. Lowery of Marianna. The church was filled to capacity by represen- tatives of every denomination in- the city and many out-of-town visi- tors. Channel Buoys Promised for Bay Permanent channel markers main- tained by the government for St. Joseph's Bay and channel will be provided if funds can be made avail- able, according to Congressman Millard Caldwell, who has been as- sured by the commissioner of light- houses that the work will be under- taken as soon as funds are appro- priated.

EDITOR STILL ALIVE (Continued from page 1) failed to turn to page eight to pick up the continuation of the article- and that's where the snapper was. Hig Stone told us that as he read the story he became so enthused that he immediately started laying plans for the erection of six more store buildings and contemplated doubling the rent on his present rental properties.

"And that is where the trouble started. Three fights in a row. The men wanted their wives to rush down and sign up for a job. The women refused, which caused two fights and one separation.
