THE STAi' IS THE - OFFICIAL NEWSPAPER FOR GLLLF COUNTY THE. STAR "Port St. Joe- The Outlet Port for the Aialachiceda-Ghatthoochee Valley" "TRADE AT HOME" SPEND YOUR MONEY WITH LOCAL MERCHANTS AND GET ANOTHER SHOT AT IT VOLUME XII PORT ST. JOE, FLORIDA, FRIDAY, MAY 6, 1940 NUMBER 32 ____ 'V T, ,. Wewa and Port St. Joe Split Opening Games County Seaters Take Sunday Tilt and Saints Win Wednesday Opening the Gulf Coast League baseball season Sunday at Wewa- hitchka, the Port St. Joe Saints lost to the county seat team 2-1 in a 10- inning fracas that saw some of the best brand of ball exhibited in many a moon, with but two errors chalked up for the entire ten frames. Ye Ed failed to get to the game and we haven't received details from Geo. Core, league secretary, but from the mouths of spectators we hear it really was a nip-and-tuck affair. Jimmy Cox held the mound for the Saints, with Bert (no relation) Cox on the receiving end. The season opened auspiciously here Wednesday at the new ball park when St. Joe took Wewa 4 to 3 behind the hurling of Davidson. The visitors took the lead in the first inning with one 'run, chalked up another in the second and a third counter in the fourth, mean- while holding the Saints scoreless. But in the fifth Fish Herring man- aged to complete the circuit for the first counter and in the lucky 7th the boys put the game on ice with three more runs by Bennie Burke, Bucky Walters and Tom Mitchell, the last two coming in on Belin's hit. Results of Sunday's opening tilts- were: Blountstown 9, Panama City 4; Wewahitchka 2, Port St. Joe 1; Apalachicola 5, Tallahassee 1. The Blountstowniuccaneers will, -play here jiext..Sunday, with St. Joe traveling to Blountstown the fol- lowing Wednesday. Much work has been done on the new grandstand the past-week, and it is hoped to have it completed in the next two or three weeks. Meanwhile bleachers from the foot- ball field are being used. Bill Would Abolish Fish and Game Unit We don't know what Representa- tive Wankard Pooser of Jackson -county has in mind, but a measure he introduced in the house and which was approved by the house constitutional amendments com- mnittee, would abolish the state game and fresh water fish commis- sion. Abolishment of the commission would mean there would be no con- trol over the taking of fish, and in a few short years--with the 'game hogs running rampant-our fish and game would soon be but a memory. We doubt that such a foolish bill will ever be-approved by the legis- lature. Measure Gives Cities Murphy Act Lands The senate Wednesday afternoon passed and sent to Governor War- ren a bill giving municipalities own- ership, without restriction, of Mur-" phy Act lands within their corpor- ate limits. Tax-starved cities may dispose of the lands and use the proceeds to bolster their depleted treasuries. Week-end Visitor From Alabama Mrs. Grady Herring of Geneva, Ala., was the week-end guest of Mr. and Mrs. L. J. Herring at their home on Long Avenue. In Dothan On Business Mr. and Mrs. Cliff Chatham and sons were in Dothan, Ala., last Sat- urday on business. Bill Would Change Auto License Buying Period The sale of automobile license plates would begin each year on January 5 under terms of a,bill in- troduced in the house Tuesday. Tag sales begin now on December 1. Deadline for purchasing new tags would be February 20. as compared to January 15 at present. However, the governor still could allow a 30- day extension for purchasing the tags. S------^--4---- Annual May Festival Set for Friday 13th Feature Will Be Historical Pageant By Local Woman. By MRS.

Tapper Bill Would Boost Cigaret Tax Levy of One Cent Per Pack Pro- posed To Finance TB Sanitaria An additional one cent per pack tax on cigarets, to raise funds for the construction and maintenance of tuberculosis sanatoria in Florida, was introduced in the house Tues- day by Representative George Tap- per of this city. The present state tax is four cents on each package. The money would be placed in a special fund, to be disbursed by warrants upon requisition of the chairman of the state tuberculosis board. The warrants would be signed by the governor and counter- signed by the comptroller. Another bill, introduced by rep- resentatives of Hillsborough county, would prohibit wholesalers or re- tailers from selling cigarets at be- low their actual cost. Fines up to $500 could be imposed upon anyone violating the law. Infant Daughter 6of Mr. and Mrs. R.

Legislature Girds Loins for Real Job In Next 30 Days Anti-Bookie Measure Is Now Law; No-Fence Bill Is Slashed By House The Florida legislature was get- ting a new grip on itself this week, after a bookie bill again had brought bribery charges similar to those which wound up the 1947 ses- sion. The bribery disclosure came too late, though, to stop passage of the bill to put bookies out of business by withholding telephone and tele- graph privileges from known law violators. It cleared the senate, af- ter passage in the house, before Senator C. L. Alford of Grand Ridge charged that John Scruggs of Leon county offered him $2000 to vote against the bill. Scruggs' denied it and the senate and Governor War- ren recommended to Leon county authorities that Scruggs be prose- cuted. 'He was placed under arrest and is now out on $2000 bond. Wednesday the anti-bookie bill became a law with Governor War- ren's signature. Also up for final disposition this week was the bill to ban livestock from the highways of Florida. The house apparently agreed over the week-end to adopt a much milder version of the no-fence law than the senate had originally passed, mak- ing it illegal only, for livestock to , be at large on "the tate highways and withdrawing personal liability of owners of livestock for the dam- age they do and also making it pos- sible only for sheriffs and other law enforcement officers to im- pound livestock. However, on Wed- nesday the senate refused to con- cur in the amendments, and by a vote of 27 to 10 the house was asked to recede from their amendments to the bill. If the house refuses, the measure will go to a joint confer- ence committee to work out a com- promise. The legislature this week began a fresh hunt for enough money to (Continued qn Page 3) Annual Pasture Tour Scheduled for May 13 The third annual pasture field day tour will be held next Friday, May, 13, according to County Agent Cubie Laird.

Governor ,Warren repeated his threat to veto a sales tax if one- were passed, and the strategists of the sales tax camp were busy this week trying to figure out some way of getting it into law over his veto. A hunt for communists in the three institutions of higher learn- ing started this week by a commit- tee headed by Harry Botts Jr.; of Pensacola. Two house resolutions called for the investigation and Speaker Perty Murray promptly appointed a committee which will be given the remainder of the ses- sion to see if they can find com- munist doctrines or teachings lurk- .ing about the campuses of the Uni- versity ,of Florida, Florida State University, and Florida A. and M. College. Regulation of privately owned electric and gas utility companies was drawing closer this week as senate and house committees work- ed hard to reach agreement on a bill that would equalize rates for electricity and gas in this state. Senator James W. Moore of Se-. bring and Representative Archie Clement of Pinellas county headed up groups that are apparently go- ing to bring out a bill that will put all utilities under the state railroad and" public utilities commission, which now regulates telephone and. telegraph companies, truck and bus companies, and the railroads and toll bridges. As the legislature passed the half-way mark, both the senate and the house found that their pre-ses- sion. attempts at streamlining com- mittees had simply resulted in get- ting too mnny,' men..n tqo..many committees. As a.result,i th'e house had called bn its members to re- sign from at. least two of the seven committees .o- which nearly every member is trying to serve. And the senate .also was preparing to take steps to simplify its committee sys- tem. For the first four weeks of this session the committees had struggled withWitop-heavy personnel and the inability 4o get quorums. And the result was that most of the important legislation already intro- duced has not been able to get clearance from one or several com- mittees in which it is buried. ___ ^-Ic _ 'Scantia' Quite' appropriately, the Commu- nist newspaper in Bucharest is named "Scantia."

That freedom has permitted our citi- zens to mold their own destinies. As a result we are not only blessed with a fruitful life but have developed into a nation which, more than any other, follows the Golden Rule in the hope of helping others. But like a blight that threatens the mightiest stand of timber, socialism has been introduced into the United States. This type of government- alism leads people to believe that they will be relieved of much of the burden of making a liv- ing-that the government will be able to produce and care for them. But no mention is made of the increase in taxation caused by greater gov- ernment spending. Paying the tax bill has placed i constantly greater demand upon the citizen's pocketbook. Individual opportunity has receded from its crest in this country. Have the people lost sight of the great heritage left to them? Are they: like the boy who was given full freedom in the candy *tore and donsequ'ehtly- made himself siil k- b abusing it? The American people are headed for a stomachache as they swallow bigger and big- ger doses of socialism now being fed them in sugar-coated form by Washington politicians, We think slacks for women are'all right-if -they're not too slack in the wrong places. MOTHER A real mother is the holiest thing alive. Next Sunday, May 8, people all over the United States will attend church somewhere honoring the memory of her who has meant so much in their lives, while others will attend as a marked cour- tesy to her if she is living. What rich memories the word "Mother" bring to mind when unconsciously other days swim before our vision when Mother stood between us and the world, fighting valiantly for us, some- times with her back to the wall. If we were sick, is was always Mother who never left our bedside, watching us closely for any change. If we were hurt it was Mother who soothed and comforted us, as only mothers know how. It was Mother who always smoothed out our troubles. In looking back down through the years, it was Mother who invariably made all the sacri- fices in the family. She did without the dire ne- cessities that we might have what we wanted. Man has never had any better friend than his Mother. No matter which way she turns, in a dark hour of trouble, it is never herself of whom she thinks-always of her daughter or son or husband-doing what is best for them. Mothers have been rated to be "a shelter in the time of storm." What other medium could ever replace a Mother's love, solicitude and enduring patience? Who else ever understands like Mother? There is no other person in the world who deserves to be honored and a special day on the calendar set aside for her than Mother. Flowers and candy will crowd the mails over the week-end but Mothers all over the country while appreciating the thoughtful -attention, would like to know that another year has passed and that her loved ones have understanding hearts.

JOE:- GUL COUNTY FLRIA AG County Schools Will Require $30,854 More From State In '50-51 Estimate eased On Enrollment In- crease and Contemplated Improvements Gulf county has a heavy stake in present legislative efforts to pro- vide sufficient revenue to carry the state minimum foundation program forward, according to Thomas D. Bailey, state school superintendent. Bailey estimated Gulf county will n. eed $30,854 more to operate the ' schools during 1950-51 than the county now gets from the state. That's allowing for increases in en- rollment at the present state-wide rate of approximately 5 per cent a year, and for contemplated im- provements- in teaching staffs and school facilities. During 1948-49 Gulf county re- ,ceived $161,984 under the state school program. Bailey has estimated state school -needs for 1950-51 at a minimum of $50,000,000-a minimum of $96,000,- 1000 for the coming two years. The .appropriation of the full amount by the legislature would provide for an apportionment of state funds on :such a basis that Gulf county would get a sum approximately equal to the estimated needs of the county. If either the appropriation fails or the revenue is not provided, Bailey said the county would be faced with the task of raising the $30,854 from local funds or letting the schools deteriorate. 'The $30,854 that the county will plodably need for the second year of The coming biennium is equal, Bailey said, to a levy of 10.52.mills for public tax-supported schools. The county now levies 9.5 mills. The constitutional limit is 20 mills. A successful salesman can spot an. anxious buyor a mile' away.
