McCarty Commends

Cancer Fund Workers

People of Gulf County Subscribe
100.5 Per Cent of Quota

Special commendation has come
to Gulf county for its achievement
in raising a little more than 100.5%
of its goal in the recent campaign
for funds to fight cancer.
J. L. Sharit, county campaign
chairman for the American Cancer
Society, was cited for the achieve-
ment by Dan McCarty of Ft. Pierce,
state campaign chairman.
"The unselfish work done by Mr.
Sharit and his workers, in the face
of many difficulties, was outstanld-
ing." said McCarty. "I congratulate
them. They, and the people of Gulf
county have shown a spirit of gen-
erosity and service that cannot be
praised too highly."
Funds raised here will be used to
finance cancer research, to carry
out a program of public education
which doctors say can substantially
increase the number of persons
cured of cancer, and to provide in-
creased services to cancer patients.

Open November 22

At a meeting of the state game
and fresh water fish commission
held Tuesday in Tallahassee, No-
vember 22 was set as the opening
date for hunting all legal game.
This is the first time that Florida
has had a uniform state-wide hunt-
ing season. Shooting will, be per-
mitted every day for the first six
days of the- season, but Mondays,
Tuesday and Fridays will be
closed thereafter. In the past, the
season has begun on different days
in different districts. Days on which
shooting was forbidden have varied
from locality to locality.
To build up the game bird popu-
lation, the commission adopted a
state-wide ban on the taking of tur-
key hens, and the daily bag limit
on quail was reduced from 12 to 10.
The turkey season will end Febru-
ary 1 and the season bag limit is
four gobblers.

Highland View and St.
Joe Tied for First Place In
Junior Baseball League
All games in the Junior Baseball
League were rained out this week,
but we give you the results of last
week's games:
St. Joe won from Kenney's Mill
with a 7-1 score. Lefty Freeman
had his second no-hit game in suc-
cession almost within his grasp.
The young left-hander was within
one out of this feat, that only
Jonny Vandermeer of the Cincin-
nati Reds has accomplished in or-
ganized ball. Bo Bray, Kenney's
third baseman, blooped a high fly
just back of second that no play
could be made on, after two were
out in the last half of the final
frame. Hudson led the city team
at the plate with two timely blows
to drive 'in four runs.
Highland View stayed abreast of
St. Joe for the lead by_ winning
from Kenney's 15-5. Rudy Richards
twirled four-hit ball for the win-
ners. Billy Richards caught him to
Sform a brother act and blasted out
three hits. R. Richards. D. William-
eon and D. Parker got two hits
each for the Highlanders.
Marion Smith led the Millers at:
the plate with a double and triple
to drive in four runs. Beck Dobbs
and F. Dennis went to the hill for
Kenney's in an effort to stop the
Viewers.
Highland View kept its winning
streak intact by easing past Oak
Grove 6-5..The luckless Oak Grove
team rallied four runs in the IAst
of the seventh, only to have their
attack stall with a victory in sight.
Verlon Norris, left fielder, led the
Grove team at- bat, driving out a
long triple, a double and a single to
bring in three runs. R. Richards
was the winning pitcher and Don
Fussell the loser.
Billy Joe Richards continued his
timely hitting for Highland View
with two bingles. Benny Hudson,
Oak Grove catcher, threw out three
runners attempting to steal third
base.

Our Country -'t. Right or Wrong

WHY THE BOOST?
In comparing the 1949-50 proposed budget for
operation of Gulf county published in the last
, issue of The Star we find that our board of
county commissioners have decided that it will
cost $50,000 more to run the county during the
coming fiscal year than it did during the year
just ended. And' this does not include operating
,costs of our school system.
We can understand a small increase in oper-
ating expenses, justified by the new county-wide
fire control district, an appropriation to the Port
St. Joe Municipal Hospital, and funds necessary
to care for the remodeling job on the court house
and jail. But these come to but $27,219.
This proposed budget undoubtedly will boost
the millage, and here we believed all the time
that when the mill of the St. Joe Paper Com-
pany went on the tax rolls we'd all get a cut in
our taxes, since the mill went on at a valuation
of $2,284,135 and the taxable valuation of non-
exempt property in the county last year came
.to $2,934,082.
Last year Gulf county ranked 41st in the state


as far as taxable valuation was concerned, yet it been a pivotal state. It has large la-

economic situation is considerably worse than it If Taft loses to an opponent run-
was a year or two ago and, instead of boosting ning on the Truman platform, his
wing of the Republican party, which b
operating costs they should try to whittle them
down a bit.


NEXT YEAR'S ELECTIONS IMPORTANT
There won't be another presidential election
until 1952. But next year's congressional elections
will hold far more importance than they usually
do, as an indication of what is to come, and as a
test of power between strongly divergent phil-
osophies of government.
The main interest will center in Ohio, where
Senator Taft will run again. This contest will
have a truly national significance, for Taft has
clearly proven himself to be the most adroit and
effective opponent Mr. Truman has.
As we all know, the Truman legislative pro-
gram has fallen on evil days. He lost out com-
pletely on his request for repeal of the Taft-Hart-
ley law. He will get only a small part of his all-
inclusive social security program. His ideas on
tax increases have found deaf ears in congress.
His leaders have been out-maneuvered time and
time again.
Taft has not done all this alone by any means,
but he has been the leading spirit. He has few
equals as a parliamentarian. Perhaps no. one now
in Washington has so wide a knowledge of the
complex workings of the government. He is fa-
mous for tenacity, and he can be a very tough
man when Republicans show signs of wavering
on policy. He frankly wants to be president, and
twice tried for the nomination.
It is expected that he will actually start cam-
paigning very soon-more than a' year before the
.election. Ohio is as perfect a state as exists for
a test of this kind. It has a big population, a
large electoral college vote, and it has always

Cut In Public Assistaftce

Grants Being Felt In Gulf

Average Grant for Old Age Assist-
ance Drops $6.70 During July

Public assistance recipients in
Gulf county are feeing the effects
this month of lowered, assistance
grants, said Robert Bellows, mem-
ber of the district welfare board.
Because tax revenue is sufficient
to provide only 5% of state appro-
priations in the welfare program,
as it is with other state agencies
operating from the general revenue
fund, those receiving warrants for
old age and blind assistance -are
getting less than they normally
would. .
Actually the cut does not amount
to 25 o of the normal 'grant to
meet minimum need, since part
of the funds for grants come from
federal sources.
While the average grant for old
age assistance in Gulf county was
$42.29 in June, this month it is
$35.59.' Records for the blind pro-
gram for this month have not yet
been compiled, but iti is expected
that about the same proportionate
reduction -will be made. In June
the average grant was $43.57.
Total payment for the aged pro-
gram in Gulf county this month is
$7,260.54, as compared with $8,205
in June.
The 1949 legislature increased
the state appropriation for aid to
dependent children enough so that
federal maximums could be granted
for the first time in this program.
Over the state as a whole that
would have meant an average grant
per child of $21.60. With the reduc-
tion in effect, the average per child
will be about the same as last
month when it was $16.53.

neered in the use pf' radio in fight-

MINUTES OF COUNTY COMMISSION


Wewahitchka, Florida
July 12, 1949
The Board of County Commis-
sioners of Gulf County, Florida, met
this day in regular session. The
following members were present:
Tobe Gay, chairman; Peter G.
Strange, J. S. Daniel, Basil E. Ken-
ney Jr., and J. F. Miller. The sher-
iff, Attorney Costin and clerk were
also-in attendance.
The meeting came to order at 9.
a. m. and the following proceedings
were had:
Minutes of the June 14 and
July 5 meetings were read, ap-
proved and adopted.
The clerk read an invitation from
the home demonstration women of
Gulf county requesting the pres-
ence of this board, the attorneys
and clerk at the annual home dem-
onstration picnic at Mexico Beach
on the afternoon of July 15 instant.
Mrs. J. A. Whitfield and Mrs. J.
T. Land came before the board in
behalf of' the Wewahitchka Home
Demonstration Club. Mrs. Whitfield
discussed the possibilities of the
county purchasing the Gaskin build-
ing, located on Court and 4th Street
in the city of Wewahitchka. It was
pointed out by Mrs. Whitfield that
this building would be an ideal
building for the home demonstra-
tion office, demonstration class
rooms, and a place to hold displays
and exhibitions in the home demon-
stration work. After discussion be-
tween the board members and Mrs.
Whitfield, the chairman thanked
Mrs. Whitfield and promised that
this item would be given further
consideration after the board had
time to consider the amount of
money that can be appropriated for
the next year's budget.
Mr. Bud Quest and Ben Richard-
son of the Ray-Brooks Machinery
Company came before the board
and offered the county the use of
one of their new motor graders. The
board thanked these men for their
generous offer but did not accept
the loan of the new machinery. Mr.
' Quest quoted prices on the new ma-
chines and offered the county a
$750 trade-in for the old machine
that the county now owns. Where-
upon there was a motion by J. S.
Daniel, and seconded by Peter G.
Strange, that the board include an
extra $9,138.00 in the next' year's
budget for the purpose of purchas-
ing a new motor grader. Upon roll
call the following voted: Aye-J. S.
Daniel and Peter G. Strange; nay-
Basil E. Kenney Jr., and J. F. Mil-
ler. The vote being tied,'the chair-
man cast his vote in favor of the
motion and whereby, the chairman.
instructed the clerk to add an addi-
tional $9,138.00 under "New Equip-
ment" in the road and bridge bud-
get.
At this time Mr. Harry H. Saun-
ders asked the chairman if he
might be heard on the question of
the county purchasing the new
road equipment. Mr. Saunders
asked that the minutes of this
board show-that he is opposed to
the county advertising for a piece
of road equipment that only one
company could come up to the ex-
act specifications called for in the
advertisement.
Whereupon, the tentative budget
for the next fiscal year having been
prepared, it was ordered that same

Mrs. Sarah Ann Fraley presented
the board her application for ad-
mission to the Florida State Tu-
berculosis Sanatorium in Marianna.
The board informed Mrs. Fraley
that due to the fact she had not
lived in Gulf county for at least
one year, as the law provides for,
the board could not approve her
application as a Gulf county patient.
Gaskin Bros. .Lumber Company
presented their bill in the amount
of $728.95 for lumber used by the
road department. Due to the fact
that the road and bridge fund is
practically exhausted, Mr. Gaskin
agreed to wait until next year for
his money. Whereupon the chair-
man instructed the clerk to hold
this bill until next year.
Whereupon the clerk read House
Bill No. 1076 of the 1949 Florida
legislature, an act authorizing the
board of county commissioners of
Gulf county to pay the Honorable
J. R. Hunter a pension of $50.00 per
month. The chairman instructed
the clerk to make the first payment
to Mr. Hunter beginning October,
1949, and each month thereafter.
Whereupon the following peti-
tion was presented to the board by
Basil E. Kenney Jr.:
PETITION FOR VACATING PLAT
OF BEACON HILL SUBDIVISION

ty Commissioners of Gulf County,
Florida: We, the undersigned, the

TO THE REGISTERED FREEHOLDERS


OF PORT ST. JOE

A referendum election has been called for July 26,
1949, for the purpose of confirming House Bill No.
1 61, Laws of Florida, Acts of 1949.

House Bill No. 1161 is an act of the Legislature to
validate the City's $63,165.71 note given in 1948 to
Faulk & Coleman Construction Company for the pav-
ing of the City's streets.

Voting on this proposal does not create any addi-
tional obligation to the City. It simply makes pro-
vision whereby the City will be enabled to obtain a
lower rate of interest on the note and a longer pe-
riod of time in which to complete payment.

We believe this proposal is sound and in the best
interest of the City and its citizens.

All persons who are freeholders who are qualified
to vote in this election are urged to vote for thIis
proposal.
