THE STAR IS THE OFFICIAL NEWSPAPER FOR GULF COUNTY THE S "Port St. Joe -The Outlet Port for the Apalachicola-Chattahoochee Valley" VOLUME XII PORT ST. JOE, FLORIDA, FRIDAY, JULY 22, 1949 NUMBER 43 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. -K Moose To Award Trophy In Junior Baseball League The most valuable player of the Junior Baseball League will receive a handsome trophy to be awarded by Lodge 1035, Loyal Order of Moose, of this city.

FLORIDA 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.

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.

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 is the only wing that has. taken strong issue with the adlmiaiistra-, tion, will receive a bod,-bilow set- back.

PAG ,FOUdRu f. -~ ~ F~i(IAV JUL 2 '1; 94 'C- ",'.~ -'" - 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.

JOE, GULP COUNTY, FLORIDA FRIDAY, JULY 22, 1949 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 REDUCTION IN SHOE REPAIRING LEATHER HALF SOLES Men's Best Grade -- $2.00 Men's Second Grade 1.75 Ladies' Half Sole --- 1.50 Children's Half Sole 1.25 RUBBER HALF SOLES Men's Best Grade --$1.75 Ladies' Best Grade --- 1.50 Children's Best Grade 1.25 RUBBER HEELS Men's Ladies' and Children- r In vt be published as required by law. 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 OF GULF COUNTY To the Honorable Board of Coun- ty Commissioners of Gulf County, Florida: We, the undersigned, the owners in fee simple to the land abutting the alleyway herein prayed to be vacated, would respectfully represent unto your honorable body that it is necessary and expedient that the said alleyway be vacated as follows: The alleway between Lots,6 and 7 between Palm Street and Gulf View Street in Government Lot No. 4 of Section 31, Township 6 South, Range 11 West, according to Fry- ers Plat of a part of Beacon Hill Subdivision, of Gulf County, Florida.
