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. Bat
boy, Edwina Howell.

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.

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.

City To Receive

Funds From Fire

Control District

County Commission Votes To Turn
Over $623.70 Accumulated
By Special Tax

At the regular meeting of the
board of county commissioners last
week, that body voted unanimously
to turn over to the city of Port St.
Joe the sum of $623.70 which had
accumulated in the St. Joseph Fire
Control District special fund.,
The fire control district was cre-
ated by the legislature in 1947 and
a lot of people have been wonder-
ing what had happened to it, many
inquiring of the editor who was hap-
pening to the funds derived from
the special assessment. 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.

Paper Mill To Operate
On Part-Time Basis

The St. Joe Paper Company mill
resumed operations Tuesday on a
scheduled three-days-a-week basis,
depending upon the order situation,
after being closed down since the
first of April.
Scarcity of container board or-
ders was given by company offi-
cials as reason for the curtailed op-
erating schedule which was upped
one day this week, the mill operat-
ing today instead of closing down.

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.

of Greenville, S. C., have leased

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.'
"He lives, a message of hope, dis-

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."


EASTER SERVICES

(Continued from page 1)
pels doubt and fear," went on Rev.
Tubb. "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.

CARD OF THANKS
We wish to extend our sincere
thanks and appreciation to, our
many friends, the doctors and

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. -, -.. .
So it is with young people who consider se-
curity of first importance. They must surrender
,some of their freedom on the average to get se-

curity. 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.
We advise the young people of Port St. Joe
to consider twice before they sell their birthright

Our wife has been riding our
neck (what little bit of it there is)
for several months past in regard
-to getting a new summer suit, so
last Saturday we called up Ken-
mneth-Creech and asked him to send
a car over for us, since our wife
had our jaloppy out somewhere gad-
,ding around. 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. Com-
ing to the side profile they debated
at length over our paunch, Gus say-
ing it should come under the stout
category and Ken holding out for
the obese. They finally compro-
mised on "pot-bellied."
Then they started to work on the
pants. Gus said we'd have

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

month, and October 1943 to Novem-
ber 1948, $150.00 per month. This

tirement; and, that his earnings

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

and free initiative."
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.
