JOE, FLORIDA FRIDAY, MAY 20,1949 NUMBER34 Saints Chalk Up Second Win In Wednesday Tilt Down Oystermen 8 to 7, But Almost Lose Game In Ninth --.. . Much to the gratification of local fans, most of whom were somewhat down in the dumps because the Saints were making such a poor showing in the Gulf Coast League, the boys came through Wednesday at Apalachicola to defeat the Oys- termen 8-7 in what was said to be an exciting game. St. Joe 'took a four-run lead in the first two frames, with Apalachi- cola failing to score. The Oyster- men made it 4-1 in the fourth, and then in the fifth the Saints shoved over three more runs to make it 7-1. They chalked up another in the seventh, and three Apalachicola players crossed the plate in the same inning to make it 8-4. The local lads almost lost the game in the last\ of the ninth lihen, due to errors, Apalachicola scored three runs to make it 8-7. Davidson went the route for St. Joe on the mound and Bennie Burke took top honors in hitting, getting 4 for 4. Outstanding play was by John Adams who hit a double with the bases loaded to bring in three runs. Spectators aver it w aan e-it. ing game, with close de.f+imuiu by the umpires bringing on -a number of field discussions by managers of both teams. Peck Boyer was chief- ump, with Ray of Apalachicola call- ing the bases.

Parker and children, Fay, Bruce and Larry, visited Sun- day in St. Andrews with Mr. and Mrs. Michael Namynanik. Alice opened a door that led into a large room filled with agitated men. Some sprawling behind pa- per-littered desks, some huddled to- gether in noisy little groups and others dashing hither and thither; the whole effect being one of ut- most confusion. "Dear, dear, how queer every- thing is today," Alice thought as she breathlessly found a seat. She crossed her hands in her .Jap and began. to ieea'"f "Flow doth the little-" but her voice sounded strange and the words were not as usual . How doth the little lobbyist Improve each shining hour And make a yea vote turn to nay By some strange hidden power. How cheerfully he seems to grin How neatly spreads his claws And welcomes legislators in With gently smiling jaws. Hearing a pattering of feet, Alice looked around to see the March Hare and the Mad Hatter seating themselves beside her. "We're just in time for the caucus race," said the March Hare. "What's a caucus race?" asked Alice. "Watch these men, you'll see," he replied. The men were in heated argument over an amendment to amend an amendment. They all talked at once and nobody seemed to hear or pay any attention to anyone else. The Hare cried out, "The race is over!" "But who won?" queried Alice. "Why every- body has won, of course," said the Mad Hatter in disgust. "They fi- nally passed a no-fence law, but with so many amendments no cow in the world could tell what the law is. So everybody wins." "Yes," said the Hare, "the cows must keep off the highways, but they may still roam in the 'back country,' but the bill fails to pro- vide for someone to explain' to the cows where the 'back country' ends and the 'front country' begins." Alice thought the whole thing very absurd, but they all looked so .grave she did not dare laugh. Puzzled, she asked, "What is a no- fence law, anyhow?" "It's a law (Continued on page 8) ALICE IN TALLAHASSEE S "Reprinted from the Bradford County Telegraph Peace Meeting May Solve State's Money Troubles Governor and Senate and House Leaders Talk , Matters Oveir ' An apparent solution to Florida's money troubles appeared in, the legislature, Monday with a peace meeting between Governor Fuller Warren and leaders of the house and senate to get together on a workable program, details of which have not yet been divulged, but un- doubtedly will be a tax agreeable to all factions except the taxpayer. Both bodies had indicated over five weeks that they would not pass his 14-point tax program to raise approximately $70,000,000 for the next two years in new money. The governor continued to threaten a veto for any general sales tax or a tax that looked like a general sales tax. Comptroller Clarenc( Gay mean- while continued to insist that the state would be operating in the red by September 1 unless new revenue was 'provided, and apparently all factions are agreed on this point. Apparently what will happen is that.some one or several indirect taxes on business will be passed to provide the state anywhere from five to ten million dollars more in new money per year, and the legis- lature the wilL-c1l' on the execu- tive to practice emrough economy to make up the balance. The cattlemen's ,version of the livestock fencing bill was reported out by a conference committee-a bill that in effect will make it il- legal for livestock to roam on the public roads of Florida, but will re- tain the open range in the back country. This is not the bill Governor War- ren wanted, but at least it will give protection to motorists.from cows and hogs. The effective date will be July 1, 1950. The governor has not yet indicated whether he will approve it, but his supporters in the house, as well as the senate, agree that it's the best they can do for this session. The house of representatives has reached out to include all colleges and universities in Florida within its hunt for communism. The Botts committee now is studying the re- turned questionnaires from profes- sors and teachers in the three state institutions of higher learning and still is considering just how far it will go in trying to force the teach- (Continued on page 6) -K Bell To Replace Rooks As School Principal Marvin W.

Carnival foods were served by the food committee, and the Girl Scouts had charge of the soft drink stand and ice cream booth. Decorations in the auditorium held over from the ':;unior-senior prom formed a background for the pageant. "The American Pano- rama," which was the presentation of the evening. Crossed flags, one of the original flag of the 13 states and ,the other our present flag, against the stage curtains made a fitting background for the young ladies whose crowns spelled the -name of the production. Thrones with the coats of arms of Spain and France dominated the space below the stage. The band- stand was a miniature garden with a picket fence, and a huge crepe paper bell was suspended from the center of the auditorium ceiling. Greenery was used here and there to form a proper setting for the march of events. The spectacle of the pageant was something to see and to remember. This pageant, highlighting'the his- tory of America, with its superb acting and authentic' period cos- tumes, was arranged .and directed by Mrs. Ned Porteir, and it was a tribute to the unlimited co-opera- tion of the large cast and the sev- eral committees who worked to make this a success. The band, un- der the direction of C. F. Harrison, deserves special mention for its arrangement of special music. The Woman's Club is grateful for the co-operation of the merchants of the city, the many individuals who gave their time, The Star for publicity, and the untiring efforts of the members who contributed to the success of this undertaking.

GEORGE HARPER The dredge Blackwater has been tied up here for the past several weeks and will be here for some time according to the skeleton crew aboard. Mrs. John Land of Wewahitchka assisted Mrs. Wilma Revels in her home demonstration work here Tuesday. The demonstration was flower arrangements in the home, which proved to be very interesting and instructive. Friends of J. C. Price will be glad to learn that he is home after un- dergoing a. tonsilectomy. Adam Mook is now living in his new home, which is a houseboat he has parked at present in Big Bend under some beautiful oak trees. Jack Weiss of Dothan, Ala., is a guest at Wimico Lodge while su- pervising the building of his house- boat. He hopes to have it com- pleted by June 1 and plans to live on Lake Wimico this season. The Big 'River is still on a de- cline, and perhaps fishermen will now be able to "de-lip" some of those monstrous fish in those wa- ters, since they've had so much time in which to grow, Fishing has been poor in the river for several months past. t-.....ge gegeggo g g g g oe* *** SPort Theatre SA Martin Theatre APort St. Joe, Fla. * * THEATRE OPENS SATURDAYS SUNDAYS AT 1:00 P.

MOONSHINE We've had a mansion under con- struction on the edge of the Dead Lakes for several months now, and our friends are worrying us to death asking when we expect to move in, apparently with the inten- tion of visiting with us over the week-end and doing a bit of fishing. Others express amazement over the fact, -and inquire why there hasn't been anything in The Star about the house. To which we've been replying that we didn't think anyone would be interested. Anyway, to satisfy the innate curiosity of all and sundry, we ex- pect to have our new domicile par- tially livable by the end of this month, in order that we can spend week-ends there after opening of the fishing season. Meanwhile, we're putting in all of our available time finishing up the interior. You see, we're not multi-millionaires, and since we didn't want to slap a mortgage on the place, we're using the pay-as-we-go plan and fully, in- tend to do all the interior finishing possible ourselves. If we're lucky, we hope to move in shortly after the first of the year. , Our wife, at the beginning (and possibly she still, harbors the thought) apparently'had but little faith in our ability as a carpenter and general handyman, in spite of the fact that we have repeatedly assured her that we were fully competent and able to saw a board straight and drive a nail. Conse- quently she hovers over us like a mother hen over a lone chick when we are working and reaches out her hand sort of hesitantly when she figures we aren't doing some- thing the way she thinks it should be done. Incidentally, she swings a wicked hammer and is going to' be proud of the fact that at least half the nails~.in/the inside woodwork will have been driven by her lily-white hands- provided. of course, that S.she glows a couple 'inc.it -u w thumbs to replace those slie lia al- ready battered into unri-eeognizailel pulp. Anyway, we're deriving a great deal of enjoyment out of our build- ing project'and, incidentally, doing a lot of hard work. But when the house is completed and we move in we'll have a satisfaction that can be derived only when you know you have constructed something good and lasting with your own hands. Keep your eyes peeled, folks, for we'll let you all know when the House of Smith is completed, and, as occasion permits, we'll invite you all up to spend an occasional week-end with us, catch yourself a mess of fish right in our front yard, prop your feet up on the porch rail- ing at dusk after a hard day's fish- ing and tell of the big ones that got away and then, should the eve- ning be cool, bask in an easy chair in front of an open fireplace. Yes, folks, we're looking forward eagerly to the day when all of our work is completed and we can move into our new domicile and leave the job of publishing The Star to someone else.

Our Country Right or Wrong WE'RE GETTING 'EM LINED UP We had been intending to write an editorial on this subject for some time, but just never got around to it. However, last week Rev. S. J. Allen came into the office with three articles regarding the Presbyterian Church and hesitantly asked us if we could use them. "I know the space in The Star is what you sell to derive revenue," he said, "and I can't afford to pay for these, so do what you want with them." We informed Rev. Allen that for years we had been endeavoring to have the local ministers turn in church activities, without much success, and that we had been contemplating discontinu- ing the regular Sunday services column because it wasn't news and had no informational value, since everyone in the community knows the hour of services and that the pastor will deliver the and since Rev. Lee Graham has co-operated with us ever since taking over the St. James pastorate here, perhaps the other ministers, who may have had the same thoughts as Rev. Allen, will bring in interesting news of their churches, since the greater portion of the people of the community belong to some church and consequently they'd be interested in news of their church as well as other churches. SOMETI-fNG'S GOING TO POP! We won't endeavor to predict just when it will happen, not being a seer or a soothsayer, but the way the legislature is sniping at Governor Fuller Warren and shoving him around, we'd say that something is going to pop in the legisla- tive halls in the near future-might even be be- fore this editorial gets in the mails. The legislature has been giving Fuller a pretty tough time, and he has a lot of campaign prom- ises, pledges and personal prestige at stake, and from what we've seen of him, he isn't going to take it lying down, for he's a hustler and very aggressive. This dilly-dallying that has been go- ing on up there in Tallahassee probably is get- ting him fidgity and rarin' for some action. Looks like there is going to be a lot of last- minute jamming of bills through the two houses, for the entire house must run for re-election next year and half of the senate also, and how those boys vote from now until the end of the session may represent success or defeat at the polls. Yes, sir, we're sure something is going to pop! The other day we noticed an ad for an electric toothbrush. Pretty soon- we'll have reached the point where it'll take a kilowatt to get us from bed to the office-which won't hurt the feelings of the Florida Power Corporation. sermons.

JOE, FLORIDA MONUMENT AVENUE TH#TAPOTSTOOE ULtOUT, LRIAFRDY0MY 0A14 Bill Provides for Two More Congressmen Would Give No Relief To This Dis- trict Made Up of 16 Counties A bill to provide for two addi- tional- congressmen for Florida if the 1950 census shows the state is entitled to additional representa- tion in congress, was introduced in the state senate Monday. The bill re-divides the counties of the state to allow for either one or two more congressmen. Florida now has six, the sixth district be- ing created a few years ago in South Florida. If the state is entitled to but one new congressman, the new seventh district would be made up of the counties of Alachua, Baker, Brad- ford, Clay, Columbia, Dixie, Gil- christ, Hamilton, Lafayette, Levy, Madison, Nassau, Putnam, Taylor, Suwannee and Union. If two new seats are made avail- able, the new eighth district would be composed of Collier, Charlotte, DeSoto, Glades, Hendry, Highlands, Hardee, Lee, Manatee, Okeechobee and Sarasota. The measure would give no re- lief to the unwieldy third district made up of the 16 counties of Bay," Calhoun, Escambia, Franklin, Gads- den, Gulf, Holmes, Jackson, Jeffer- son, Leon, Liberty, Okaloosa, Santa Rosa, Wakulla, Walton and Wash- ington. We urge all our readers to contact Senator Olin G. Shivers and Representative George Tapper urging them to oppose this measure as it stands and work toward hav- ing it changed to where a portion of the proposed new North Florida district would be taken from the present third district. PEACE MEETING (Continued -from page 1) ing staffs of private schools to de- clare, th.h-_elve, on :communism and Florida segregation laws. The committee did agree that it was all right for the instruction staff of Florida A. & M. College for negroes not to declare themselves on, the segregation question. Still unsettl- ed is what the house will do if members of the faculty in private institutions refuse to answer and defy the house.. Fate- of the fresh water fish and game commission was still uncer- tain this week, although friends of that commission apparently had an overwhelming majority in the house. A parliamentary maneuver resulted in putting on the calendar a bill that would repeal all" of Flor- ida's black bass laws, take away the police powers of the commis- sion, and make it impossible to en- force laws against illegal seining. The friends of conservation lacked the necessary two-thirds vote to take it off the calendar, but showed more than a comfortable majority. There seems little likelihood that this session will refer to the peo- ple any new vote on taking the constitutional authority of the. conm- mission away from it. State regulation of electric and gas utilities was a little closer this week as bills to equalize rates and control these private companies get favorable reports from both senate and house committees. The chief opposition comes from a few cities Which own their own light plants, and from the REA, both of which fear state regulation over private companies would result in a state-wide comparison of rates. Bills now before the legislature specifically exempt the city-owned plants and the REA. A surprising overnight switch in senate support resulted in passage of the bill to set up a central pur- chasing agent for the state under direct control of the governor. The senate had previously refused to consider anything but a bill that would lodge purchasing authority with the entire cabinet. Friends of the governor, how- i ever, were able to convince the ma- jority that he should be given the sole responsibility, with the cabinet acting only as an advisory board. Thus, in the closing days of this session, Governor Warren's sup- 4 porters are showing much more strength than they originally ex- 4 pected to have. This is one of the reasons why members of the sen- ate, as well as the house, who have been fighting his financial program now are beginning to talk compro- mise. Talk of a special session has died down as the closing days of this session make it apparent that some means will ,be provided to relieve the threatened, general fund deficit. A quick tax to bring, in five to ten million dollars a year and one that will be collectible this sum- mer, is expected to be the legisla- ture's answer to Warren's request for more money. The same group that refused to give Governor Cald- well more money in 1947 still is in' the saddle in the house and may be expected to hold the lid on new taxes.

PN TELEPHONE E -PLANE. 88t 601 Long Avenue ALICE IN TALLAHASSEE (Continued from page 1) to make people fence," replied the Hatter. "Then why don't they say so?" asked Alice. "It isn't that simple in the legislature," said the Hatter, "they do things the hard way. If they made things direct and simple they might get through be- fore their sixty days were up. They never really do much until the last three days of the session." Alice sighed wearily, "Well, then, why not wait until 'the last three days to start?" she asked. "Think of the money they would save." "Who is interested in saving either time or pIoney?" snapped the Hat- ter, "nothing less than six figures counts in Tallahassee.

"I wish they'd do some- thing amusing like voting some more money for schools without providing the necessary revenue- that's fun." "But what's, the use making ap- -propriations without levying taxes to provide the revenue?" asked Alice. "Because they make such nice headlines," laughed the Hat- ter.

"You mean we can't have less," snapped back the Hatter. "It's very easy to have more than nothing." "The trouble with economy is that everybody wants it for some- "body else," yawned the March HIare. "The governor calls for econ- ony in the legislature, and the legislature calls for economy in the governor's office and, of course, the poor taxpayer would like to see economy eierywhere-buit nobody pays any attention to the taxpayer." At that moment there was a great commotion among the men on the floor. "They've passed an- other bill," said the Hatter in great glee, "and it's only the fifth week of the session. The slash pine has just won a heated battle over the royal palm for the honor of becom- ing the official state\ tree." He looked for Alice, but she had gone.
