Costin, 73, a resident of Port St. Joe since 1909, passed away Monday night at his home on Mon- ument Avenue following an illness of long duration. Funeral services were held at the home Wednesday afternoon, with the Rev. J. W. Sise- more in charge, assisted by Rev. D. E. Marietta and Rev. H. F. Beaty. Interment was in Jehu Cemetery, near Wewahitchka. Low Bidders On Paving Rroject The Cleary Brothers Construction Co. of West Palm Beach was low bidder on the two-lane concrete boulevard to be constructed on 5th Street--' from its intersection with Monument Avenue a distance of one-half mile to the east. Amount of the bid was $129,476.13. Buys Papers Larry Evans, of Fairhope, Ala., has purchased The Port St. Joe Sentinel and The Gulf County Breeze from C. F. Hanlon at We- wahitchka and has many ideas for improvement of the two publica- tions. City Charter Amended Among bills passed at the recent session of the .legislature were two amendments to the Port St. Joe city charter changing the terms of city commissioners from six to three years, with an election to be held each year, and to limit the bonded indebtedness of the city to 15% of the assessed valuation. Another bill, which became law without the signature of Governor Cone, pro- vides that no franchise can be granted by the board of city com- missioners without a' vote of the people. State Has Enough Cash for 3 Months Comptroller Says Script or Credit Would Then Have To Be Used According to a statement issued by State Comptroller C.. M. Gay, the state of Florida has enough funds on hand and due to run until September, when the cash will run out-and script or credit will.have to be used to pay bills, salaries, pensions, etc. Or, payrolls could close and the state's business could just be closed up, along with the schools not opening. Credit for this state of affairs goes to the legislature, which just closed a "do-nothing" session. It is- sued a back-breaking $240,000,000 -appropriations bill but did nothing about enacting tax-producing meas- ures to provide the $60.000,000 of new monies needed to .pay the two- year bills it created via appropria- tions. Governor Warren hasn't yet in- dicated when he will call a special session (at an estimated cost of $700,000 to the taxpayers) to enact revenue-raising measures, but he could make it tough on the legisla- tors by delaying the call until their constituents suffer. A lot of the legislators believe they will be de- feated anyway, and many don't seem to worry about their lack of accomplishment.

Anyhow, that's what the calendar says, and theoretically father is entitled to occupy the place of honor in the family circle on that day. And, folks, he should be remembered with gifts that will be his alone. Poor old dad gener- ally has a controlling interest in lamps in the liv- ing room, furniture for the dining room, perhaps only a half interest in a pair of andirons for the fireplace, and maybe a bit of stock in a washing machine-but has he anything that lie can truth- fully say is all his? Son wears his socks and ties, and mother and daughter take his shirts and pants to wear fish- ing-but poor old dad can't borrow a thing from the rest of the family, ' So let's dco all we can for day next Sunday. He will feel happy if he's remembered. Dad really isn't a bad fellow if his family would only get to know him-but to a great extent, he's to blame if they don't. --- .- '. ? .. STARDUST and MOONSHINE The other night when we had that heavy rainstorm, Pervis Howell was signaling to G. E. McGill, the -engineer on the A. N. freight train, -when he dropped his lantern to the ground. "Cat" Sylvester, passing :by, tossed it back to him on top of -a freight car. In a few minutes McGill came rushing up to Howell. "Let's see .you do that again!" he panted. "Do what?" said Pervis. "Jump from the ground to the .top of that boxcar," replied McGill. "The traveling man's eyes bulged -when he came into the St. Joe Hardware store and saw a dog playing checkers with Uncle Char- lie McClellan. "You mean to tell me," he said incredulously, "that your dog is playing checkers?" NOTHING IN THE PAPER One of our subscribers, a woman, came into The Star office Monday with the complaint that "there's never anything in the paper." But she forgot that it was only the week be- fore she asked to have her bridge party kept out of The Star because there were three people she had neglected to invite. And a short while pre- viously she had informed us that the family didn't want it mentioned when they bought a new car from Lewis' Garage because they still owed Dr. Ward for Junior, and two or three merchants were wanting a settlement. We carefully reminded her that we had left the account of her son's careless driving spree out of the paper because we felt sorry for her old man, and that we also neglected to mention the fact that her brother had been haled into court for imbibing too freely, creating a disturb- ance and resisting an officer. But she still was of the opinion we could print more news. We probably could-but what it we should? We knew it! When President Truman used his famous s. o. b. utterance we stated editorially that people would figure if the president could get away with it, they could, too. Last week the same phrase was directed by Senator Eastland of Mississippi at C. B. Baldwin, campaign man- ager for Henry Wallace last fall. during a sub- committee hearing on legislation to curb com- muntists. We are still of the opinion that such utterances should be curbed, for the use of pro- fanitv by our so-called statesmen undoubtedly has an influence upon the choice of language employed elsewhere in the nation.

Wright, son of Mrs. E. A. Wright of Lake City,Fla., recently wel- comed his wife, Mrs. Marjorie P. Wright, to Nagoya. Mrs. Wright is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Philyaw of Port St. Joe, Fla., and is a former teacher in the Port St. Joe schools. Captain Wright is currently as- signed to Hq. and Hq. Squadron, 5th Air Force. the occupation air force in Japan and the largest com- mand under Far East Air Forces. Wright graduated from the U. S. Military Academy at West Point in 1943 with the degree of B. S. and the aeronautical rating of pilot. From September 1944 to June 1945, Captain Wright served with the 5th Air Force in the Southwest Pacific Theater. He was awarded the Air Medal, Purple Heart for wounds received in action, and the Commendation Ribbon for out- standing service. Mrs. Wright left Lake City in April -for the Seattle port of em- barkation and on April 20 sailed aboard the U. S. Army Transport General M. M. Patrick. After a voyage of 18 days, broken by an 18-hour layover in San Francisco, she arrived on May 8 in Yokohama, where she was met by her husband. In reporting her first impression of Japan, Mrs. Wright said: "Amer- icans were at the docks and in the streets; American cars were every- where; so it was difficult to believe I was in a foreign country. Later, I was fascinated by the Japanese in native dress, and especially in- trigued by the children and the amazing way in which they ran around in their wooden.clogs." WHITEKAIR TO SEEK SENATE?
