THE STAR IS THE OFFICIAL NEWSPAPER FOR GULF COUNTY THE STAR "Port St. Joe The Outlet Port for the Apalachicola-Ghattahoochee Valley" "TRADE -AT HOME" SPEND YOUR MONEY WITH LOAL MERCHANTS AND GET ANOTHER SHOT AT IT -j 'VOLUME XII PORT ST. JOE, FLORIDA, FRIDAY, JULY 8, 1949 NUMBER 41 A 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.

During the month, state warrants went to 90,382 recipients to aid 122,746 individuals.

June was the first month since .start of the public assistance pro- gram in Florida in 1937 that the number of applicants has passed the 90,000 mark. The rate of increase in June was- about the same as it has been the past several months, Bellows said.

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.

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.

Hambrick and Charles Ham- brick, all of Pensacola, and Mr. and Mrs. H. 0. Yelverton and sons Laney and Jerry of Birmingham, 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 the installation of its charter with a gala party next Friday, July 15.

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. Ja.,E.

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.

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. included, and I aim to see that we do economize. Don't worry, Florida will come out all right."

This decision was reached last week at a meeting of the board in Jacksonville and an- nounced by W. T. Edwards, chair- man.

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." ---4-- ----- REJUVENATED SAINTS (Continued from page 1) Walters at second, Belin at short, Bennie Burke holding down third, and Tommy Mitchell alternating in catching with Bert Cox.
