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.

Our Country Right or Wrong

REMEMBER POOR OLD ) )AD
Next Sunday is Father's Day. 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.

The old-fashioned girl who used to have a
plush-covered photograph album now has a
daughter who has a gold-filled cigaret case.

Can a man go into a restaurant,

police for indecent exposure, or
something? Apparently he can.
for that, is exactly what Glenn
Boyles got away with-and his wife
was out of town, too! Seems
that Glenn werit into Gene's Cafe
for breakfast the other morning
carrying a pair of pants he was
taking to the cleaners. He walked
out and left them, and Honey Al-

Japan Becoming

Americanized, Says
Former Teacher

Marjorie Wright Joins Husband In
Orient After Long Trip
From Lake City

NAGOYA, Japan, 5th Air Force
Headquarters-Captain Edmund A.
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?
DeLand friends of Francis P.
,Whitehair say that his present
plans are to run against U. S. Sen-
ator Claude Pepper in 1950. Eight
years ago, Whitehair was runner-
up to Spessard L. Holland, who de-
feated him in the second primary.
Governor Warren first ran in that
race and ended in third position.

Attend Graduation Exercises
Mrs. J. B. Gloekler, Mrs. Ned Por-
ter, Miss Betty Otto Anderson, Miss
Virginia Gloekler and Miss Mem-
orie Porter attended graduation ex-
ercises Friday night at Chapman
