THE START IS THE OFFICIAL NEWSPAPER FOR GULF COUNTY T-HE STAR "Port St. Joe-The Outlet Port for the Apalachicola-Ghattahoochee Valley" "TRADE AT HOME" SPEND YOUR MONEY WITH LOCAL MERCHANTS AND GET ANOTHER SHOT AT IT 'VOLUME XII PORT ST. JOE, FLORIDA, FRIDAY, APRIL 22, 1949 NUMBER 30 Annual Grudge Game Will Open Baseball Season 1(iwanis Indians and Rotary Graves Will Clash Wednesday The baseball season will formally -open in Port St. Joe next Wednes- day afternoon at 3:30 when the Ro- tary Braves, still smarting from a 11-10 trouncing last year, meet the Kiwanis Indians at the old ball park. According to reports from the In- dian training camp in Arizona and the Brave base in South Florida, both teams are loaded for bear and ready to blow the plate off the diamond. The venerable Kiwanis Indians report that Uncle Hig "Satchel Paige" Stone's arm is in tiptop shape and he should go two full innings without aid from the lini- ment bottle. Satchel's battery mate, flashy Capt. Bob "Jim Hegan" Tap- per, passed up his social security for another "last" fling behind the plate. He has warned the Braves to look out for Satchel Stone's atomic pitch. All this drum-beating of the In- dians hasn't dampened the spirits of the Braves. They feel confident that their pitching ace, Bob "John- nie Sain" Bellows, can last as long as Satchel Stone does, if not longer. His battery mate, "Moose" Conk- lin, figures on going the full route. Manager Floyd "Billy Southworth" Hunt states that he will use the Williams shift on southpaw Glenn Boyles, mighty stick wielder for the Indians. Starting lineups for the teams follows: Iudti:-i- Toni "Lou Boudreau" Alsobrook, shortstop; J. C. "Larry Doby" Culpepper, centerfield; A. P. "'Joe Gordon" Wakefield, second base; Mayor "Ed Robinson" Sharit, first base; Preacher "Ken Keltner" Tubb, third base; Glenn "Bob Ken- nedy" Boyles, right field; Doc "Dale Mitchell" Strong, left field.

Cattlemen Oppose Reforestation Bill Association Directors Also Endorse Substitute Fencing Measure.. Opposition to the reforestation bill now before the legislature was strongly voiced by directors of the Florida State Cattlemen's Associa- tion at a meeting held in Kissim- mee last week to discuss proposed legislation. The bill would allow the state board of forestry and parks to des- ignate almost any land in the state as forest land and would require county commissions to raise funds to support the program-as much as a two-mill tax on all non-exempt property in each county, if neces- sary. The directors referred the bill to a special committee to prepare changes to limit effect of the act. The directors also recommended that legislation which will bring livestock markets under state sani- tary board supervision be limited to fever tick eradication only, and also endorsed the substitute fencing bill which would leave each coun- ty's laws intact regarding fencing but would remove cattle from fed- erally-numbered highways through- out the state. -----^-4---- Gets Teaching Certificate Mrs. Julia Creech of this city was among 355 teachers receiving teach- ing certificates from the state de- partment of education during the past month.

Legislature Coming To Grips With Many Controversial B ills Warren's Measures for New Revenue Sources Being Fed Into Hopper In its third week, the Florida legislature is coming to grips with public utility regulation, major cit- rus law changes, the Warren live- stock fencing bills and a joint in- vestigation of the- state welfare board's treatment of the needy aged. These are the highlights of this week's activity, coupled with daily consideration of a growing list of bills of lesser importance. The wel- fare investigation, touched off by Senator Charley Johns of Starke, was brought before 'the house by Jack Monahan of Suinter county. Regulation of the' rates of pri- vately owned electric and gas util- ity companies by the state got a public hearing at which the only op- ponents were some municipalities which also own light and gas plants and federal agencies' fearing a con- flict with state law. The senate Wednesday gave ap- proval to the Warren livestock fencing measure by a vote of 28 to 9, changing only the effective date from October 1,!1949 to July 1, 1950. The bill makes livestock own- ers liable for the damage their ani- mals may do. 1,,al.. mav.do. fit'1s' no'w .up to the house, where Rep.

Now they know. Acceptance of the fund was made by the Port St. Joe city com- missioners at their meeting Tues- day night. The district, roughly speaking, extends from Beacon Hill to White City and south to the Franklin county line about three miles east of Bragdon's store at Indian Pass.

I 'I-- )-- a) Resolution Asks $600 Yearly for Joe Hunter Will Be Presented To Legislature For Enactment As Local Bill At the regular mleeting- of the board of 'county commissioners, a resolution was presented the board by Postmaster Alf Millergren of Wewahitchka asking that Gulf county pay the sum of $600 yearly to Joe Hunter, former clerk of the circuit court, as partial c9nipensa- tion for the 23 years he served in that capacity at lower than stan- dard wages as compared with sal- aries paid for like services during that period in adjoining counties. The resolution states that from 1925 to 192S Mr. Hunter received $80 per month: 1928 to 1943, $125 monthly, and from 1943 to 1948, $150 per month, and that since his retirement the salary of the circuit clerk has been boosted:' It points out that Joe is receiving but $134.31 per month under the county officers and employes re- tirement system, due to his meagre salary during his time in office, and that due to the fact that he is prac- tically blind, making it impossible for him to pursue any type of em- ployment to augment his income, and that this amount is inadequate for a man and his wife to live on in these days, that the petition be acted upon favorably. After reading of the resolution and some discussion, the board voted unanimously for its adoption and a request was sent to Represen- tative George Tapper and Senator Olin Shivers to secure the enact- ment of necessary legislation. The complete resolution will be found in the minutes of the county commission, page 5, column 4, of this issue of The Star. Lease Cafe 'Mr. and Mrs. George L. Harper of Greenville, S.

Easter Sunrise Services Here Well Attended Christ's Triumph Over Death Told By Minister At Morning Rites Approximately 400 persons were present at 6 o'clock Sunday morn- ing to participate in the Easter ser- vices held in the park at the cor- ner of Monument Avenue and Fifth Street. The services were opened by the singing of "Christ the Lord Is Risen," led by the assembled choirs of the Presbyterian, Methodist and Episcopal churches. Rev. Lee Gra- ham gave the invocation, followed by two more hymns, the scripture reading by Rev. S. J. Allen and a number by the high school band, "Holy, Holy, Holy." Rev. Loyd Tubb delivered the Easter message, taking as his theme "He Is Risen." "The world's darkest hour, when the earth quaked, the authorities trembled and the followers of Jesus were filled with despair, the hope of the world was established by a glorious message, 'He Is Risen'," said Rev. Tubb. "As the early morn- ing sun pushed back the darkness of the night, the messengers of God, according to the Four Gospels, pro- claimed the eternal message of as- surance. Today the -.-)uls of men are lighted with a radiant hope in the Risen Lord. We areassembled here this morning net ly to com- memorate the great day of long ago, but to bear testimony of a risen Savior. "'He Is Risen,' the message of assurance, is the foundation of Christianity. The origin of the early church was built on this faith. The followers of Jesus have survived the forces of evil, suffered persecu- tion and endured suffering because of their assurance of a risen Lord. Today the church reaches to all parts of the earth and with the host of His followers we bring the mess- age of hope and life, because 'as I live ye shall live also.'

Health Officer Urges Use of Approved Garbage Cans "Approved garbage containers are very necessary, not only for the home but for business establish- ments having garbage as well," says F. E. Trammell of the Gulf County Health Department. Due to the fact that summer is here and many homes do not have the covered galvanized can, it would be well to consider this important matter, Tramell points out. "Main purpose of the approved container," he concluded, "is the prevention of fly breeding places, as well as not having food around the premises for rats and" roaches, all of which are capable of trans- mitting many diseases."

"Men of all ages believe on Him when they see Him, even with doubting Thomas, who had to be convinced by placing his fingers on the nail-scarred hand, we cry 'My Lord and my God.' "He goes before you, the message of faith which leads to man's high- est possibilities. Jesus, the good shepherd, led his people here on earth. The time came when He must first go alone over the way by which later everyone would have to pass. The story is told of General Patton in World War II, how in his rapid march toward Berlin they came to the Rhine. There were those who said it was impossible to swim the river to make necessary preparations for a continued march. The river was treacherous and the waters cold, but he first swam across and back. When orders were given to cross, not a man hesitated. So Jesus .crossed the river of death to give assurance to all who must follow to come to the fullness of eternal life. Easter brings reassur- ance of a. Risen, Living Savior who goes before us in the way of abun- dant and eternal living," concluded Rev. Tubb. The service was concluded with the singing of "He Lives," benedic- tion by Rev. Tubb, and the postlude by the band.

Our Country g" Right or Wrong OPPORTUNITY vs. SECURITY In -a recent public speaking contest for high school seniors in California, nine outstanding stu- dentswere picked out of a thousand contestants. The subject chosen was "What Do I Want?" The final unanimous conclusion reached was: "We Want Security." This' indicates the thinking of a large cross- section of our young people today. Such an at- titude is certainly wrong. What our young people should: want is "Opportunity." Each of us re- quires the spur of insecurity to force us to do our best. If the great men of.our nation had wanted se- curity rather than opportunity in their youth, they would never have developed into such great men, Taking an extreme view, a man in jail has security. He has a guaranteed job. He is guar- anteed food and shelter. If he's in for life, he is assured an old age pension and full social se- curity. But he has no freedom. -, -.. .

On the other hand, with opportunity in a free land, it is possible to climb the ladder of suc- cess as high as one's talents, ambition and cour- age prompt him.

He sadly in- 'formed us that he was unable to .provide us transportation and that -we would have to walk over to his laundry and dry cleaning empor- ium.' Imagine that! No call- ing for and delivering customers! Anyway, we hiked over, stopping along the way to chat with various and sundry friends, taking at least 80 minutes to traverse the three 'blocks. Upon arrival at the Creech establishment we were in- formed that we must have a coat if we were to get a proper fit-and we almost told the Creech Brothers where they could go, and take their suit with them. But luckily our wife drove up at the moment (we'd left her a note) -and so she obediently returned home and brought us the coat. Then it began. You'd have thought we were a prize bull the way those two sonsofguns poked our ribs, felt our shoulders and leg, stood off at a distance and looked us over for spavin and fallen arches and commented loudly on the short- ness of our neck. Anyway, there was some consolation-we've got more hair on our head than either of those boys.

George G. of the Board of County Commission- i mrlir S A ,dr CY -..... MINUTES OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS (Continued from page 5) Whereas, Mr. Hunter became the clerk in Gulf county when it was formed in July, 1925, and held this position continuously until his re- tirement in November, 1948, during which time he received much less salary than clerks were receiving in adjoining counties, which ac- counts for the small amount of re- tirement pay that he is now receiv- ing, his salary range through the years being: July 1925 to January 1928, $80.00 per month; January 1928 to October 1943, $125.00 per month, and October 1943 to Novem- ber 1948, $150.00 per month. This salary has been raised since his re- tirement; and, that his earnings has largely been expended for doc- tor and hospital bills for himself and his wife, who served him as deputy clerk as long as she was physically able; and. Whereas, This board is of the opinion that had he been paid the ,salary that he was entitled to that his retirement pay would now be adequate for him to live upon; and, 'that this board can supplement his :retirement pay in the sum of $600 .annually, payable $50.00 per month, without jeopardizing the financial security of the county, and we feel will meet with the approval of a vast majority of the taxpayers within the county. Therefore, Be It Resolved, That we respectfully petition and request the Hon. George Tapper, Represen- tative of this county, and the Hon. Olin Shivers, State Senator for the 25th senatorial district, to secure the enactment of adequate legisla- tion authorizing and directing this board to pay to J. R. Hunter the sum of $600.00 annually in install- ments of $50.00 per month from whatever fund the same may be available, which said payments shall be in addition and supplemen-. tal to his present retirement fund.' and that a copy of this resolution be furnished to them. Upon the foregoing resolution be- ing read.' its adoption was moved by Mr. Peter G. Strange, and sec- onded by Mr. J. F. Miller. and upon vote being taken the following voted: Aye, unanimously, where- upon the chairman was authorized to sign the same, and the clerk was directed to attest the same in approval thereof.

Whereupon t h e chairman in- structed the clerk to place the name of Mrs. Omie Blackman on the mothers pension roll at $6.00 per month. B. E.

Whereas, Said law designated the county commissioners of county commissioner districts No. 3, 4 and 5 of Gulf County, Florida, as fire commissioners of said fire control district, authorizing and empower- ing said fire commissioners to levy taxes upon all the real and personal property in said fire district jor the purpose of raising revenues to defray the general operating ex- penses of said district, said reve- nues to be paid into a special fund of Gulf County, Florida, known as "The St. Joseph Fire Control Dis- trict Fund,' which fund has now accumulated the sum of $623.70: end, Whereas, Said law empowered EHi STAR, FPORT ST.

The measure went over by a vote of 32 to 4 after sharp debate and an effort to switch it to a committee. Of course it probably had nothing to do with the action of the senate, but an editorial appeared in the April 8 issue of The Star beseech- ing passage of such a resolution at this session of the legislature. -----(------- 'TAIN'T A FORD, CHIRPS GRADY MANASCO ANGRILY The editor of The Star can't tell one make of car from another un- less he walks right up to it and looks at the name on the radiator, and so we don't hold ourselves re- sponsible for calling, in last week's issue, Grady Manasco's monstrosity a Ford. He hopped all over us, as did Vic Anderson, for referring to the crate as a product of the Ford assembly line-Vic because he was ashamed of such a gas buggy, and Grady because he's prouder'n a pea- cock over his ancient jaloppy. Anyhow, if Grady doesn't start slapping on that green paint we do- nated, we're going to go down to his house and paint him all up like a Siwash Indian. Don't forget, folks, if you have a bit of green paint-any color of green-lying around, bring it in to The Star office in order that we can at least make that ancient crate a respectable Irish color. - Salt Important Feed cattle salt daily. Sodium and chloride, the elements of salt, are constantly excreted in the milk and have to be replenished in the body of the cow. There is nearly a gram of salt in a pint of milk. Cows also need salt for maintenance of the body in addition to require- ments needed for milk. ANNUAL GRUDGE GAME (Continued from page 1) lows, Charlie "Dazzy Vance" Garra- way, S. L.
