THE STAR IS THE OFFICIAL NEWSPAPER FOR GULF COUNTY f THE STAR "TRADE AT HOME" SPEND YOUR MONEY WITH LOCAL MERCHANTS AND GET ANOTHER SHOT AT IT "Port St. Joe -The Outlet Port for the Apalachicola-Chattahoochee Valley" VOLUME PORT ST. JOE, FORAY, JULY 29, 949 NUMBER 44 Bay View Church Will Be Dedicated Sunday Quarterly Conference of Port St. Joe Charge To Be Held After Dedication Rev. Loyd W. Tubb announces that the Bay View Methodist Church at Highland View will be dedicated next Sunday evening at 8 o'clock, and he extends an'invitation to all people who are not attending serv- ices elsewhere to join in the dedi- cation ceremony. Rev. Tubb is preparing a special service, and states that Dr. George W. Kerlin, superintendent of the Marianna district, will deliver the message and dedicate the church. The church was built in 1944 un- der the leadership of Rev. 0. D. Langston, former pastor of the Port St. Joe Methodist Church and it will be dedicated in his honor. Rev. Langston was invited to be present, but will be unable to attend due to a recent operation. However, he will send a message to be read. The church was established with 22 charter members, and in the years following it served in an out- standing way the needs of the com- munity, especially among the young people, having an excellent Sunday school. During the past year, under the leadership of Rev. Tubb, the mem- bership has shown an increase of almost fifty per cent.

The most recent case didn't take long to unravel, since the culprit gave himself away with a flash- light. Seems that Officer P. W. Petky, making his rounds Sunday night, was coming down Williams Avenue in front of The Star office and, glancing across lots, saw a light at the rear door of the St. Joe Bar. Thinking it was Owner Bobbitt he hailed the person. It apparently wasn't Bobbitt, for the holder of the light started up the. alley toward the depot like a scared jackrabbit, with Petty right on his tail. As the marathoners passed by the rear of the police sta- tion, Petty yelled at Chief Griffin, who hopped into his car and took after the unknown party of the first part. The chase ended in the colored quarters when the two pulled Cicero Wood of Highland View, from bq- a'thif a dwI.ling H.e adritted,'ac- cording to Griffin, that he had en- tered the bar thru the skylight and took $1.65 in pennies from the cash register and two pints of .whiskey, letting himself out the back door. Having partaken freely of the liquor, he returned about 11 o'clock, knowing the rear door was un- barred, and got two more pints of liquor. It was at this time he got careless with the flashlight and at- tracted the attention of Officer Petty. Answer to the question of who broke into the McGowin Motor Co. safe and made off with about $250 in cash last week was brought to (Continued on page 8) Cpl. Davis Completes Course In Life Saving Cpl. Loyce E. Davis, 21, son of Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Davis of this city, recently returned to Sendai, Japan, where he is stationed with the 13th Engineer Combat Bat- talion, 7th Infantry Division, Eighth Army, after attending the 7th In- fantry Division's life saving school, a two-week long course in the latest methods of life saving. Corporal Da- vis, one of the few ,completing the entire course, is now on a seven- day furlough at Sakunami, Japan.

Be Tossed Out of Gulf Coast League Double-Header Here Sunday With Tallahassee Probably Be Pitchers' Battle It is understood that officials of the Gulf Coast Baseball League will meet today or tomorrow to consider dropping Apalachicola from the league due to the fact that the Oys- termen refused to play the Saints here Wednesday and also refuse to play the Blountstown Buccaneers next Sunday and Wednesday be- cause several of their players are away at the National Guard camp' in North Carolina. This refusal to play, according to league officials, is strictly against the by-laws of the organization, as Article 2. Section 4 of the by-laws states, in part: "The membership of any club may be terminated . for failure to present its team at the time and place agreed upon to play any game of baseball un- less caused by unavoidable circum- stances." League officials point out that action such as that taken by Ap- alachicola is detrimental to base- ball, since many fans, not knowing a game will not be played, show up and are disappointed, and in addi- tion, the gate is lost to the home team where the game would have been played. St. Joe will meet Tallahassee at the local park Sunday in a double- head-r to make up q rained-out tilt, and this pionlis-iio be a ring-tailed- fracas, since Alton Will be hurling- for the Saints and Tallahassee has, two excellent pitchers who, in the last two games with Apalachicola allowed but one run in the 18 inn- ings; Apalach won one game 1-0 and lost the second 3-0.

The board has jurisdiction over Gulf and Franklin counties. Curtailment of operation of the board does not waive any require- ment of the selective service act of 1948, and all young men who be- come 18 are required to register within five days of their 18th birth- day where possible. If by reason of the fact that the registrant cannot fulfill this requirement of the act in view of the curtailed operation of the board, then he should regis- ter on the first date that the office is open after his birthday. The act requires that every male reaching his 18th birthday and who has not reached his 26th must register, except those who are pres- ently in the armed services. Every man discharged from the armed services is also required to register. All other requirements of the act are also still in effect, and regis- trants should keep their local board advised of any change in status or mailing address. Gov. Warren Calls for Special Session To Open Sept. 7th States After Wakulla Meet He Wants Assembly To Pro- vide 'Barebone' Needs At a conference of legislators held Saturday at Wakulla Springs, Governor Fuller Warren announced that a special session of the legis- lature would be convened Septem- ber 7 to provide revenue for the "barebone" needs of the state. The conference brought together 33 lawmakers, the governor, Comp- troller C. M. Gay and Secretary of State Bob Gray, hopeful of resolv- ing the dilemma resulting from the failure of the legislature at the reg- ular session ending June 3 to make up the difference between the $240,- 000,000 total of. the 1949-51 general appropriations act and the $180,- 000,000 of anticipated revenue from existing taxes. The special session constitution- ally may last only 20 days, and members may go outside the boun- daries of the governor's call only by a two-thirds vote in both houses. Warren had indicated he will re- strict the session's business to rev- enue-raising measures. In his statement following the legislative conference behind closed doors at the Wakulla Springs lodge, Warren declared: "The 1949 legis- lature, by an overwhelming major- ity in passing tli-: g;renral appropri- ations-bill,, agi ez the barebou- sponsibilities to the people of Flor- ida during the next two years would be $240,000,000. The legisla- ture did not match the general appropriations act with revenue measures sufficient to foot the en- tire cost. I therefore give no- tice to the members of the legisla- ture and to the public that it is my present intention to call an extra session of the legislature for Wed- nesday, September 7, 1949, so -that the state government may meet its responsibilities-as charted by the legislature in the regular session-- to the people of Florida," -____-___---- Freeholders Okeh Bond Validation Five To One Of 463 registered freeholders in the city, 291 turned out Tuesday to endorse overwhelmingly validation of the note for $63,165.71 held by the Coleman & Faulk Construction Company for street paving.

Veterans' Institute Is Planned Here Would Provide Educational Fadili- ties for Those Who Have Not Completed Schooling A veterans institute will be Or- ganized in Port St. Joe within the next few weeks if plans can be worked out. This institute will be a regularly conducted school for both white and colored veterans who have not completed high school work but who desire to continue their schooling. Classes would be held at the high school for white veterans and at the colored school for colored vet- erans. Tentative time for classes would be from 4:30 to 9:30 p. m., with an hour off for supper. Class- work would be conducted from the third through the twelfth grades, with qualified instructors in charge. This would be all classwork, with no on-the-job training involved. Full attendance for a married man would provide payment of up to $120 per month, with' smaller payments for single veterans. All persons interested in this proposition are urged to attend the meetings scheduled for next Tues- day, August 2. The white veterans will meet at the high school at 10 a. m. and colored veterans at the colored school at 2 p. in. Representatives of the county school system will be present at the meetings. -----K----- Economy Bloc Claims Majority In ,House Stormy Session Predicted At Spe- cial Session Called for Sep- tember 7 By Governor The so-called "economy bloc" of the state legislature is reported to have developed sufficient strength to claim a majority of the members of the house-of representatives and, if this is the case, a stormy battle can be expected in the special ses- sion called for September 7 by Gov- ernor Warren for the purpose of raising taxes to provide the $60,- 000,000 additional revenue the ad- ministration claims is needed for the 1949-51 biennium. Key spokesmen for the economy bloc of the house have been con- ducting a vigorous campaign among house members in an effort to swing them to the economy side in opposition to those who are scream- ing for additional tax money, and they have also been swamping pa- pers of the state with literature, as can be witnessed by a look through The Star's wastebasket.

Registration At 18 Under Selective Service Act Is Compulsory State Director Believes Everybody Does Not Thoroughly Under- stand Requirements Calling attention to the fact that failure to register is a violation of law and makes the delinquent li- able to penalty, General Vivian Col- lins, Florida state director of se- lective service, has outlined regis- tration requirements under the se- lective service act of 1948, which he said he believed were not thor- oughly understood by all of the gen- eral public. "The obligation to register," Col- lins said, "is a continuing obliga- tion: and must be fulfilled regard- less of whether men are being in- ducted into the armel forces under the selective service act. The obli- gation to register is imposed by the act on every male, citizen or resi- dent, in the United States between the ages of 18 and 26, with only the general exception of members of the armed forces on active duty and certain aliens." The young man who becomes 18 ts required to register at a local board office within five days of'the date of his 18th birthday, but if he happens to be away from home he need not return-he may register at the nearest local board and the record will be sent to his home board. After he registers, it is man- datory that a- registrant keep his .local board informed of any change in his address or change in status. This applies after he becomes 26 as well as before. Concerning the man who did not register during the designated reg- istration days, August 30 to Sep- tember 18, 1948, because he was then" on active duty in.'the armed forces, General Collins explained that he is required to register with- in 30 days of the time he was sep- arated, from ir.h armed forces Maximum rperalt:, for Violation of any of the provisions of the se- lective service act is five years in' prison or a fine of $10,000, or both. -ROTES 1SEE MOVIES OF MOOSE ORPHANS' HOME At the regular meeting of the Rotary Club held Thursday of last week at Hotel St..Joe with Presi- dent Henry Campbell presiding, Paul Fensom gave a resume of the Rotary governors assembly which was held July 17 in Gainesville.

Our Country Right or Wrong DEATH AND TAXES All the livelong day: Henry Suburban reaches out at 7 a. im. of a bright May morning to turn off the alarm clock (price $5, tax $1). Accom- panied by the warbling of birds, he climbs wearily out of bed (price $195, annual personal property tax 75c), walks across the floor of his $8000 house (annual general property tax $240) and switches on the electricity (33c tax on his $10 monthly bill) which lights the bulb (price 20c, tax Ic). To music from a bedroom radio (price $30, tax $3), Henry shaves with his electric (see above) razor. As a radio newscaster reports that Henry's state is preparing to increase income taxes and impose a general sales tax on every- thing anyone buys, Henry slaps across his jowls a handful of bay rum (price $1.30, tax 21c). He dresses quickly, hurriedly fastening cuff links (price $3.50, tax 70c) and tie clasp (price $1.50, tax 30c), puts on his Swiss wristwatch (price $60, tax $12), and rushes downstairs. Tucked under one arm is a leather briefcase (price $18, tax $3.60) which carries papers from his real estate office, including one deed (prop- erty valued at $3000, stamp tax $3.30). In the kitchen, he's just in time to snatch two slices of toast from the electric toaster (price $16, tax $3.20), lift his coffee from the gas stove (price $190, tax $19) and grab a glass of fruit juice from the refrigerator (price 300, tax $30). A glance out of the window shows it's rain- ing, so he calls to his wife (marriage license $2) to telephone (monthly bill $12, tax $2.05) for a taxi. Tob many other people want taxis on a wet morning, so Henry gets out his own car (price $1800, tax $105) and drives (operator's license $1) to the railroad station. Henry relaxes at the station with a cigaret (price per pack 8c, federal tax 7c), lit by a match (tax 52,c per 1000). Aboard the train, Henry gives the conductor his ticket (price 85c, tax 13c) and settles down to a hand of bridge with three cronies, using, of course, a deck of cards (price 40c, tax 13c). In the city on his way to the office, Henry stopsto buy a roll,'of camera film (price 20c, tax 5c) that he promised his son (birth registration $1) and the lipstick (price $1, tax 20c) he prom- ised his wife. Because there are friends coming to his house in the evening, he buys a bottle of whiskey (price $2.30, tax $2.60). Arriving eventually at the office, Henry sighs (no tax!) and settles to a day's work (annual in- come $5000, federal and state income tax $510). If he works for the rest of his life he will be able to provide the government with a handsome slice of inheritance tax. And if he dies in a state that is fiscally tolerant, he can take comfort in the thought that his casket-pro- vided it costs less than $100-will be exempt from: any sales tax.- Waynesboro (Ga.)

Sales Tax Is Favored By Many Legislators Considered Best Bet as Revenue- Raiser If Any New Taxes Are To Be Levied Reports from around the state in- dicate that a sales tax boom is on among liberal minded legislators. While it is not certain yet whether or not the special session of the legislature will pass any new taxes, it seems a pretty good bet ,that if they do it will be a sales tax of two or three percent. It is generally agreed among pro- ponents of this tax that some neces- sities will have to be exempted to meet Governor Warren's approval, but legislators generally feel that these exemptions should be kept to a minimum. Warren has vowed to' veto a sales tax, but has indicated that he would sign such a bill if it exempted the necessities of life such as food, clothing and medi- cine. Students Pay Visit To 'Snaketorium' By PEGGY ELISE PHILYAW Fifty-five of those participating in the school's summer recreation program left Wednesday of last week for a visit to the Sanketorium at Panama City. There the group saw 1,763 live snakes. They also saw alligators, deer, bears, ducks, monkeys, a small bobcat, and a turtle race. On the way home they stopped at a Panama bakery where every- one bought buns, cup cakes and coffee rolls to stay the pangs of hunger.

Did you think that when the paper mill went on the tax roll that your taxes would be reduced? If you thought so you were mistaken. The proposed County bud- get, not including schools, increases the millage from 10.5 to 17.6. Do you realize that this means an increase in millage of 66-2/3% and do you realize that this will increase your tax bill accordingly? Do you realize that this increase is being made in spite of the fact that the pa- per mill went on the tax roll at a valuation of $2,284,135? Do you know the pa- per mill going on the tax roll practically doubled the taxable valuation of Gulf County, as the previous figure was only $2,934,082? Do you know that the proposed County budget for 1949-50 carries an increase of $50,000 over the 1948-49 budget? Do you think this increased expenditure of $50,000 is justified under present economic conditions? Are you satisfied to have your taxes increased as outlined above, or do you want to do something about it? The County Commissioners meet at 10:00 A. M. Eastern Standard Times, Tues- day, August 2, for the purpose of finally adopting the budget. If you don't want to pay increased taxes will you be at this meeting to pro- test this increased budget?

LRIA RDAJUY29 T4~ er' Few Women Showing Interest In Jury Duty Must Signify Intention and Willing- ness for Job By Register- ing With Clerk Florida women are now eligible for jury duty, but very few have shown an interest so far. The 1949 legislature gave women the right to serve only if they so signified their intention and willingness by registering their names with the county clerk.. Dade county holds the lead at present among counties which re- port they are accepting registra- tions, with nearly 200 women hav- ing signed up for duty there. The law doesn't go into effect un- til next Monday, August 1, and it is possible that women will begin to take more of an interest then. To be eligible to serve, women must be over 21, without criminal records, and legal residents of Flor- ida and their respective counties. Got To Keep Up With the News A. M.

RIGGS - Something about The Star appar- ently has been worrying J. H. Riggs of Jacksonville, former head of the Florida Bank at Port St. Joe. This week we received a copy of our editorial masthead torn from last week's issue, with the "Three Months $127.15" ringed with a red pencil and a notation: "How long before you will catch this?" Well, Mr. Riggs, you aren't the only reader who has read and won- dered about that $127.15, and at various times we have patiently ex- plained about it.. Main reason for the three-month rate is pure- downright laziness. We don't take a subscription for less than six months because by the time we make out two file cards, write a receipt, mail out a couple of notices at the end of the three- month period and then mark up the cards again, at the same time writ- ing another receipt, we're just plumb exhausted.

Approximately 350 persons representing hospitals and the med- ical profession from all parts of the state were in attendance. The Port St. Joe hospital is one of the 99 hospitals in Florida par- ticipating in the non-profit Blue Cross plan to render services to Blue Cross members. The Florida Blue Cross plan was organized 'in July 1944, and today there are over 200,000 members en- rolled. Since the organization of the Florida plan, through June 30, 1949, $2,772,665.53 was paid to hos- pitals for the, care of Blue Cross members. Of this amount, $1,348,- 851.73 was paid during the past 12 months alone.

ULY. 29. 1 Continue Survey On Commercial and Sport Fishing Seeks To Discover If Com- mercial Fishing Beneficial To Sport Fishing Additional investigation is neces- sary to determine how much com- mercial fishing can be allowed with- out hurting Florida's famed fresh water sport fishing, John Dequine, the state game and fresh water fish commission's chief fisheries biolo- gist, discloses in a 32-page report received by The Star. The report states further investi- gation will be necessary to discover if commercial fishing is beneficial in any way to sport fishing. The re- port is the result of a current sur- vey designed to determine the ef- fect of commercial fishing on game fish populations in the St. Johns River and Lake Okeechobee. Commercial methods of taking fresh water non-game species have little harmful effect on game fish populations under given conditions, the study revealed. It also said it is economically possible to conduct commercial fishing operations un- der these "given conditions." However, the report concluded, continuous study will be necessary to manage the fisheries on a sus- tained yield basis, and more effici- ent law enforcement is necessary to successfully regulate them. The game agency accepted the offer of four commercial fishing op- erators on the St. Johns to pay the salaries of four commission biolo- gists in order to keep the survey go- ing at full scale for another year. Seven crews were participating in 'the study on the St. Johns, but this year's curtailed .budget provided for only three. Both Lake Okeechobee and the St. Johns were clos '-to netting in 1946 by commission order. Com- mercial fishermen fought the meas- ure through to the supreme court several times, but lost each time. The scientific, survey was started over a year ago. Be careful! Woods fires destroy lives, homes, crops and timber. Bucs Lower Boom On Cousins From St Joe Blountstown Paper Says Game Irn That City Was "As Dreary Base- ball As One Ever Sees" (Ed Note: The following story peared in last week's issue of the Blountstown Record. Since we can gather no information on the game here, we reprint it.) St. Joe's once mighty Saints had just cause to lose their religion last Wednesday night as they tried vainly to solve the offerings of Bill Cromartie, ace Buc righthanger, for nine innings of as dreary baseball as one ever sees. The Saints could not be blamed for their failure to hit Cromartie. Few are the teams which accom- plish that. The Blountstown fans, however, found it hard to under- stand why the former scourges of the Gulf Coast League made no ef- fort to make the affair a contest. From the start they appeared per- fectly willing just to go through their paces. Specific example: They allowed their starting pitcher to remain in the box, although the Bucs pounded him almost at will. Even in the days when the Bucs were cousins to most of the teams in the league-and that has not been long-they always gave a big try. As a result, they satisfied fans around the circuit. Now, it may well be that the Saints did put up a battle for the game, for they did score two runs in the ninth. Big Leonard Belin did hit a tremendous fly to left field, which, had it been pulled a little more, would have gone over the fence. And Cromartie is a whale of a pitcher. Anyway, aside from Cromartie's pitching it was a dreary ball game. But for an unfortunate error at shortstop, Cromartie would have had a shutout.
