Junior League Hurlers

Chalk Up No-Hit Games

Highland View and St. Joe Teams
In Tie for First Place

The youthful players of the Ju-
nior Baseball League gave unusu-
ally fine performances in games
played this week. "Lefty" Lamar
Freeman turned in a masterful no-
hit performance on the mound for
the St. Joe team in their 5-1 tri-
umph over Oak Grove. The slender
"Lefty" struck out 10 men in mak-
ing his entrance into the select
circle of no-hit pitchers, and has
-allowed but one hit in two starts.
Walter Wilder, Oak Grove's sty-
lish southpaw hurler, pitched a
good game, but miscues by his
mates, plus a couple of timely hits
by the opposition, gave the little
chunker his initial defeat of the
season. The St. Joe team loaded
the bases in the fifth. Wilder re-
tired the side without a run by
fanning two batters and forcing the
third to pop to him in a great ex-
hibition of clutch pitching for a
10-year-old.
The Oak Grove team has the
smallest players in the league, but
they play their larger opponents
with a spirit and determination that
would do a professional team proud.
Highland View defeated the Oak
Grovers 10-4 behind the four-hit
--hurling of J. C. McArdle. He fanned
12 batters to bring his strikeout to-
rtal to 29 in two games. Donald

Take Second-Place

Hawks In 2 Games


Tilts Sunday and Wednesday
Will Have Decided Ef-
fect On Standings

For the first time since the Gulf
Coast Baseball League season was
opened on May 1 the Port St. Joe
Saints put a real team in the field
here last Sunday when they met
the Panama City Seahawks and de-
feated them 16-1. Trekking to the
neighboring city Wednesday night,
the Saints repeated the perform-
ance 6-5 (details of this game were
not available yesterday).
Behind the two-hit pitching of Al
Alton in Sunday's tilt, the Saints
played errorless ball and nicked
Ray Dunn. moundsman for the visi-
tors, for 19 hits, six of them extra
base blows. Leonard Belin and
Marion Craig led the onslaught, Be-
lin having a perfect day with six
hits out of six trips to the plate,
one being a homer over the left
field fence with no one on base, and
Craig chalked up four bingles in
five times up, three of them two-
baggers. 'Bennie Burke got three
out of six, and Tommy Mitchell
three out of five.
The Seahawks lone score was
made by Manager Al Sabo in the
fifth, with a homer over the left
field fence.
St. Joe put the game on ice in
the first inning with two runs and
then proceeded to score in every
inning except the sixth.
The lineup for the rejuvenated
Saints has been completely over-
hauled, apparently for the better.
,Craig has taken over first, Bucky

County-wide Forest

Fire Protection Now

Effective In County

Unit Under Direction of Ranger
H. A. Hardy With Headquar-
ters At White City

July 1 marked the beginning of
county-wide forest fire protection
for Gulf county, according to an
announcement by J. Edwin Moore,
district forester for the Florida
Forest Service.
Heretofore Gulf county had par-
tial protection through a co-opera-
tive agreement between the forest
service and private landowners.
The installation of lookout towers
and fire-fighting crews during the
term of this agreement enabled a
swift conversion to county-wide
protection after a favorable vote
last November by residents of the
county.
Forest fire lookout towers are in
operation at Overstreet, Wetappo,
White City and on Highway 98 just
east of Indian -Pass. These towers
are the eyes of the forest service,
directing the fire crews to the
scene of any woods fire as rapidly
as possible.
The county protection unit is un-
der the direction of County Ranger
H. A. Hardy, with headquarters at
the St. Joe tower near White City.
Hardy has assistant rangers at In-
dian Pass and Wetappo, along with
fire plowing equipment, and a
ranger at his headquarters.
Residents who discover wildfires
or escaping -.brush birns _,are re-
quested to report the location of
the blaze immediately to one of the
above-mnentioned crews.

ida they will go to Montevallo, Ala.,

Paper Mill Goes

On County Rolls

At $2,284,150


Expected City Will Assess It,
At Approximately
Same Figure

Ever since the first of the year
untold numbers of residents of the
city have queried the editor of The
Star (supposed to be an unending
source of information) as to how
much the paper mill would be as-
sessed at on the city'tax roll. Now
we can give them a partial answer,
at least.
According to the minutes of the
county commission, which sat last
Tuesday as a board of equalization,
the mill will go on the county tax
rolls at an assessment of $2,,284,-
150,, and it is expected it will go on
the city rolls a.t approximately the
same valuation.
According to George Core, clerk
of the court, the total non-exempt
property appearing on the county
roll for 1949 comes to $5,234,872.
The tax roll for the city of Port St.
Joe last year came to $1,736,322.
The 1949 roll s not. et available,
but City Assessor Beh Dickens Jr.,
states that he is now working on it
and will have it ready in Septem-
ber.
Placing of the paper mill on the
city tax roll is not expected to
lower the millage appreciably this
year, due to the fact that the cof-
fers of the city are practically
empty -at present and. with many
outstanding bills to be -taken care
of due to increased operating costs
the past few years. However, tax-
payers probably can look forward
to a falling village over the next
two or three years.


Moose Lodge To Observe
Its Second Anniversary

Port St. Joe Lodge No. 1035,
Loyal Order of Moose, will cele-
brate the second anniversary of

ing life at the child city of Moose-
heart, home for the children of de-
parted Moose. Moosehaven, home
for aged Moose, will also be pre-
sented pictorially.
Music, dancing and supper buf-
fet style, are included in the eve-
ning's proceedings. All members of
the lodges, their wives and invited
guests are cordially invited to be
present.
The festivities will get underway
at 8 p. m., and a great time is an-

DOLLAR DAYS ARE COMING- JULY 15th AND 16th!


Visitors Crowd City

During 4th Holiday

Large Number Turned Away Due
To Lack of Accommodations

Port St. Joe proper has never
laid claim to being a resort city,
but during the Fourth of July week-
end the city was literally crawling
with pleasure-seekers, the majority
of whom had been unable to find
accommodations elsewhere, many
of them reporting that they had
sought a place to sleep all the way
'from Pensacola on thee
others that they had come all, the
way from Jacksonville and other
east coast cities.
Majority of the cars were from
Alabama, Mississippi and Georgia,
though a check at the White Spot
Sunday (one of three eating estab-
lishments open over the week-end)
turned up tags from Louisiana, In-
diana. Ohio, Kansas, South Caro-
lina and Illinois.
A check of rooming houses and
hotels, all of which were more than
filled to capacity, showed 248 out-
of-town visitors registered. In addi-
tion, a large number were sent to
Wimico Lodge at White City and
approximately 90 were found beds
in private homes by local citizens
who estimated that at least 150 in-
quiring for any sort of accommoda-
tions were turned away.
Reports from the nearby beaches
are that many slept in their cars
or rolled up in blankets on the
sand.

WHITE CITY NEWS
By. MRS. GEORGE HARPER

Our Sunday school has reached
an enrollment of 69 present at some
of the meetings, due to the unceas-
ing efforts of the late Nobie Stone.
His aid and counsel will be greatly
missed in this community, but his
work will remain long as a monu-
ment to his memory.
Mr. and Mrs. Bud Hatcher enter-
tained about 40 relatives from Do-
'than and Columbia, Ala., and Co-
lumbus, Ga., with a family reunion
at Mexico Beach on July Fourth.
Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Price enjoyed
the celebration at Apalachicola on
the Fourth.
E. L. Antley left Tuesday for
Lake City, where he will enter the
veterans hospital for medical treat-
ment.
Mrs. B. A. Pridgeon and son Ber-
nard Jr., and Miss Edna Davis of
White City, and Mrs. P. A. Howell
of Port St. Joe motored to Talla-
hassee Tuesday. Bernard remained
to resume his studies at Florida
State University for the summer
session.
A Sunday school council meeting
was held at the home of Mrs. J. C.
Price recently, at which time Mrs.
H. A. Hardy was elected superin-
tendent and Mrs. G. S. Croxton re-
elected as director of religious ac-
tivities.

Our Country B Right or Wrong

FIRE IN THE WOODS
Summer and fall constitute two of the most
serious fire periods in this country. Forests and
fields dry out, awaiting only the touch of a spark
to burst into flame. Tourists throng the highways.
Thousands of campers go into the woods. Com-
mercial camps and vacation spots of all kinds
run at capacity.
Every year sees the destruction of magnificent
forests, accompanied by a tragic toll of wildlife.
Some forest fires do occur spontaneously, from
lightning or other natural causes. But a far
greater number can be attributed to human care-
lessness and ignorance. The motorist who throws
burning cigaret butts and matches from his car,
and the camper who leaves a fire without dous-
ing it with water and burying it with earth until
every spark is out and every ember is cold, are
two of the worst offenders. The whole nation is
the poorer because of them.
We of Gullf county should be particularly
careful of fire in the woods, since our two big-
gest payrolls come from them, and a plain duty
confronts everyone of us who, go fishing,hJiut-
ing or picnicking. It is to protect a heritage
which, once destroyed, may take a century to
replace. Our forest fire unit, under the super-
vision of Ranger H. A. Hardy, is doing a fine
job in Gulf county. It maintains patrols and look-
outs and fire-fighting equipment ready to roll.

Barge Service for This Section

ably reported on the bill introduced
by Representative Millard Caldwell
for the purpose of authorizing the

service will make available to Port

Florida Okeh, Says Governor
Governor Fred Cone says he sees
no occasion for a special session of
the legislature, saying: "Despite
propaganda to the contrary, Flor-
ida wiM meet its legitimate debts
and there will be no need of an ex-
tra session to raise more revenue."
Questioning a statement by Comp-
troller Jim Lee regarding inability
of the state to meet its obligations,
Cone aaid: "We can if we econo-
mize in all departments, schools


But it can do little without public co-operation.
A woods fire can spread with incredible swift-
ness, and be completely beyond control in a
matter of minutes under certain conditions.
Let's all help protect our woods by observing
the simple, easy rules for fire safety.

WHAT NATURE KNEW
A short time ago, a doctor who had an inter-
national reputation as an authority on diet, pub-
lished a scientific article in one of the leading
medical journals. His thesis was that the health
and vitality of a people are largely determined
by the amount of protein in the diet. As a strik-
ing example, he pointed to the individual su-
periority of American soldiers, in the last war, to
those of the other combatant nations. This, he
believes, was the direct result of the fact that our
army had the highest protein content in its ra-
tions. The American soldier was a heavy eater of
meat, and of milk and eggs-the three sources of
complete protein.
Many other examples could be cited. Travel-
ers are always impressed by the relatively frail
stature of many Europeans. During and since the
war, especially, the physical capacity of whole
nations has shown an alarming decline. This, in
large part, is the consequence of a diet which
has been inadequate in almost all particulars-
and most inadequate in protein. Meat and eggs
have been luxuries in Europe for many years.
Thousands of people have lived on the border-
line of starvation. Their stamina is low. And
that, in turn, has mental effects which make
themselves felt in a poor state of morale.
Centuries ago, in Elizabethan times, one of
the most famous regiments in the British army
was given the nickname of "Beefeaters." This
elite group was made up of big, ruddy men, who
consumed enormous quantities of the beef of
old England. Little was known of dietetics then,
and the word protein did*i't exist. But the heavy
quantity of protein in the diet undoubtedly gave
those soldiers of a bygone age their strength and
effectiveness as filhtiiig ni) -. sciencee has simply
proved what nature always knew.

Users of newspaper space always reap good
returns. People who realize the value of a dollar
always read the ads. They know they save by
buying advertised goods.

Legion Proposes Community Chest
A movement has been started by
Gulf County Post 116, American Le-
gion, for the formation of a com-
munity chest in an endeavor to do
away with continual solicitations
by organizations and individuals.

Strength in Cotton Fiber
Cotton fiber, far finer than a
human hair, has almost unbeliev-
able strength in itself. Cotton fiber
strength is approximately the same
as that of structural steel! Cotton
fibers have been tested which did
not break under a pull of 100,000
pounds per square inch.

Patients wll not be sent home
from Florida tuberculosis hospitals
as long at the state tuberculosis
board has money with which to
care for them. This decision was
reached last week at a meeting of
the board in Jacksonville and an-
nounced by W. T. Edwards, chair-
man.
The board called in superinten-
dents and medical directors of the
three sanatoriums operated under
its supervision, its chief medical di-
rector and its business adminis-
trator, in order to study figures
and arrive at plans for keeping the
patients .in the hospitals and yet
conforming to the demands of the
state budget commission that a 25
per cent reduction be made in op-
erating costs.
All conceivable cuts will be made
in the operation of the institutions,
with a policy of strictest economy
to be followed, Edwards said. Plans
for additional patients and more
services for patients now in the
hospitals will be abandoned, he
added.
Plans adopted by the board in its
attempt at economy cannot be con-
tinued indefinitely, he contended,
but the board will carry on the re-
stricted plan for the next three
months.

Honey Prodoction
In State Retarded
By Forest Blazes

State Extension Forester L. T.
Nieland says woods fires are hold-
ing back Florida's honey produc-
tion.
He says Florida's bees depend on
wild plants as a source of nectar.
The plants are destroyed wholesale
in every forest fire. The roots may
survive and make a feeble effort to
send up more growth, but generally
another fire will nip the plants be-
fore the two years necessary for
flower-bearing have gone by.
"Probably no state in the Union
could have a richer honey harvest
than Florida," said Nieland, "yet
we know of no state which has
done more to destroy it. Fires, con-
trolled ,or otherwise, keep honey
production in Florida down to a
mere trickle compared to what it
could be."

Walters at second, Belin at short,
Bennie Burke holding down third,
and Tommy Mitchell alternating in
catching with Bert Cox. Fish Her-
ring still holds down left field, Dal-
las Weeks is back at right field,
and Frank Hannon at center.
The final go-round with the We-
wahitchka 'Gators is next on the
schedule, with the "Gators playing
here Sunday and the Saints going
to the county seat next Wednesday.
Alton will hurl for St. Joe in Sun-
day's game. but no information was
available yesterday as to who the
chucker would be in the Wednes-
day tilt, though the hope of fans
is that it will be Ward, who piloted
the Saints to their victory over
Panama -City Wednesday night.
Outcome of these two games is of
vital importance, since the 'Gators
are in fourth place and the only
way for St. Joe to get into the
Shaughnessy playoff will be to un-
seat the Wewahitchka team. So
all fans are urged to be on hand
to root for the home team Sunday
and Wednesday. With the roof on
the partially completed grandstand,
the bleachers now along the third-
base line will be moved under the
shelter, providing protection from
the sun, and deck chairs will also
be available for spectators at a
nominal charge.
