THE STAR "TRADE AT HOME" SPEND YOUR MONEY WITH LOpAL MERCHANTS AND GET ANOTHER SHOT AT IT "Port St. Joe- The Outlet Port for the Apalachicola-Chattahoochee Valley" 'VOLUME XII PORT ST. JOE, FLORIDA, FRIDAY, JULY 1, 1949 NUMBER 40 Busy Burglar Rr nks Into Four Record Total Raised In '49 March of Dimes July Welfare Checks Be Delayed, Says Gay More Than $900 Already Spent In Due To Failure of Certification By F tnhlishment Gulf County Since January State Welfare Board 1641 W I 1INN IVI-I %A Looking for Cash; Abandons Pants When Routed From Bus Depot A bold, bad burglar was quite busy here Monday night, entering four business establishments, but getting very little for his pains. This busy lad entered the Creech Brothers Laundry by.breaking out a pane in a rear window and then reaching through to release the latch. He ransacked the safe, which is always left unlocked, and me- thodically went through a number of envelopes containing records for the past five years, apparently in a search for folding money. Con- -tents of the envelopes were dumped on the floor. He did appropriate an .automatic pistol, a cigaret lighter and a pair of trousers belonging to Sanders Chitty. He apparently tried on a pair of Ben Dickens' trousers and finding them unsatisfactory tossed them aside. About $1 worth of pennies in an open cash register were untouched. Our burglar fared slightly better ;at Lamar Miller's filling station, securing about $10 from the open -register. Entry :was made in the :aSme manner as at the laundry. The warehouse of the Gulf Hard- ware Company, on the outskirts of the city was'also entered, bhut a check howed nothing missing. A- " girls:.b1cycei.was arried out to the -highway, bur.tapparently was too 'ttumbersome ito- be placed in .a car, it-tfhe thief had one, and was aban- doned in the ditch. Probably the last place to be en- tered was the bus station, where the burglar was routed by T. F. Wildes, a bus driver, who was -asleep in a back room. Wildes was -awakened by a noise in the office :and at first thought it was E. M. 'Spears, manager of the station. 'Seeing no light, he looked into the office and saw a shadowy form with ;a flashlight in front of the money ,drawer. Wildes had no gun, so he 'shQok the screen door, frightening 'the intruder, who left hurriedly. In his haste he abandoned the pair of -trousers he had taken from the laundry and so Sanders Chitty -will not go pantless. Bids Called For On Two St. Joe School Plants An advertisement appears in this issue of The Star calling for sealed bids for construction of the new Port St. Joe junior-senior high school and the Washington school for the colored. The new school plant for St. Joe, according to County Superinten- dent Tom Owens, will be located on the site of the football field, ad- joining the Centennial Auditorium. He states that the gridiron will be laid out in the outfield of the new bale park, that the lights for the field will be installed there, and that eventually it is the hope more lights can be installed in order that night baseball can be played here. I-c -- - Undergoes Appendectomy Miss Jeritza Edwards underwent an appendectomy Wednesday at the municipal hospital. A record total of $25,728,000 was raised in the 1949 March of Dimes to continue the fight on polio, it was announced yesterday by J. A. Mira, chairman of the Gulf county chapter of the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis. The com- parable figure for last year was $21,600,000. Chairman Mira further reports that approximately $900 has been spent in combatting polio in Gulf county since January of this year, the month in which the fund drive was conducted. A total of $512.72 was realized in the county drive this year, which was under the di- rection of Henry Campbell. Of this amount, half, or $256.36 was sent to the national foundation and $256.32 remained with the local chapter. Mira disclosed results of the '49 March of Dimes appeal following receipt of a letter from Basil O'Connor, president of the National Foundation, who expressed thanks to the American people and the thousands of volunteers throughout the country who made the drive the most outstanding in the organiza- tion's history.

TWO LOCAL LADS TO ,TELL OFBOYS' STATE Jimmie D. and Bobby Lee Ram- sey, who attended Boys' State in Tallahassee as representatives from Port St. Joe, will make a report of their activities at the regular meet- ing of the Moose Lodge Monday night and the American Legion Post Tuesday night. The two boys were sponsored for Boys' State by the two civic or- ganizations. The following self explanatory telegram was received Wednesday by The Star from the office of State Comptroller C. M. Gay: "All welfare checks for July will be delayed for an undetermined pe- riod. This delay is no fault of my office. We can issue checks only upon certification by the state wel- fare board. Failure of such certifi- cation by that board forces indefi- nite delay in schedule of payments for the first time since the social welfare program began 14 years ago. "Old age assistance, aid to de- pendent children and aid to blind checks Will be processed by my of- fice promptly upon receiving cer- tified list from state welfare board, whether or not individual payments have to be reduced because of legis- lative failure to adequately pro- vide money for 1949 appropriation act."

Why are they killed? It's easy to advance a lot of deeply philosophi- cal reasons. The hurry-up world we live in. The adventurous, take-a-chance American spirit. The animalistic discourtesy of man to man. But there is no need to do any heavy thinking on the rea- sons for the holiday death toll.'The reasons are quite simple, really. For one thing, more people are driving auto- mobiles. When more cars are on the road and they are traveling farther, the chances for acci- dent go up proportionately. We of Gulf county should be particularly care- ful and watchful of our driving during the com- ing three-day week-end for our famed fresh wa- ter fishing, together with our adjoining Gulf beaches, will attract several thousand cars that normally would not be using the highways of our county. All of these out-of-county cars will be on pleasure-bent, and pleasure-bent drivers usually are in a hurry. They want to get to our lakes, streams and beaches to statf having fun, or perhaps some of them will be pounding along on the first leg of a summer vacation trip. A lot of people are doing the same thing, and it be- ,comes a sort of race. Driving too fast, passing when the view is obstructed, following other ,cars too closely-all seem important in the sense- less race to save a minute. The beaches, as well as the highways, will also take their toll. A lot of occasional swimrners overestimate their skill or their endurance. Chil- dren excited by holiday fever elude adult super- TEN YEARS AGO From the Files of The Star Recent Session Most Expensive Records just released show that Nills already audited and paid for the recent session of the legislature total $427,298, against a 1937 ses- sion cost of $357,779.62. The comp- troller's off-ice estimated about $50,- 000O of 1939 legislative bills remain to be paid. This dpes not include $92,000 for finishing and equipping the new house chamber. It does in- clude $36,000 for an electric roll call system. Printing costs were $36,000, and miscellaneous supplies came to $41,707. Fight On Dog Fly To Begin Initiation of a drive by the fed- eral government on the dog fly pest of the Gulf coast was assured last week by agreement by the house :and senate conferees on the agri- cultural appropriation bill which resulted in the reinstatement of an item for that purpose in the bill. Asked To Assume Cost of Bridge E. Clay Lewis Jr., returned Wed- nesday from Washington, where he had been since Sunday as a mem. ber of a delegation that appealed to the river and harbor board. for construction by the federal govern- ment of a railroad draw span over the Apalachicola-St. Marks section of the intracoastal waterway. Other members of the delegation were J. vision. Amateur boat handlers find that small boats require a practiced hand and prudent conduct. The tonic of celebration leads to excesses in exercise, eating, exposure to the sun. All of these things contribute to Fourth of July deaths. And it would be simple to prevent such accidents. Don't take a trip just to be going somewhere. There are many delights near home. Drive slower. Don't become impatient at unimportant delays. Be courteous to other drivers and pe- destrians. Be temperate in your swimming. Keep an alert eye on children.. Don't stand up in the boat. These are the simple things that will ensure delight in a summer holiday-that will bring you home relaxed and refreshed instead of in an am- bulance, that will see your children safely in bed to dream of the day's pleasures. These are the simple things that will make this Fourth of July mean joy instead of tragedy. Kipling said it: "Teach us delight in simple things and mirth that has no bitter springs." IT'S UP TO THE PEOPLE Sentiment in congress in favor of cutting the cost of the federal government is growing fast. Many things have contributed to it-among them the decline in business and employment, the fact that a heavy federal deficit now seems in- evitable, and the reluctance of lawmakers to in- crease taxes because complaints from the "folks back home about federal spending" are inereas- ing. However, sentiment in favor of cuts in spend- ing, and practical action toward that end, are two different things. Congress is always be- deviled by pressure groups, all of whom are -in favor of cutting the appropriations that go to someone else and increasing their own. As an obvious example, there is hardly a chamber of commerce that doesn't pay lip-service to the cause of economy-and then whoop it up when- ever it sees a chance to get a slice of federal tax money for its own area. In the long run, the decisive factor will be pub- lic sentiment-the wishes of the voters as to fis- cal policy, since the billions now being spent have to be paid by all the people. .4 The Hoover commission reports have given congress what it long lacked-a detailed blue- print for eliminating waste, duplication, overlap- ping. Now it remains to be seen whether the people will demand its acceptance. The tongue, being in a wet place, is likely to slip when going fast. J.
