Home From Duty In Alaska
S/Sgt. Carl Guilford arrived here
Tuesday from Alaska, where he has
been' stationed for some time out
on the island chain, and is spend-
ing the remainder of a 30-day leave
at Overstreet with his parents, Mr.
and Mrs.iJ. R. Guilford, "That is
really rugged country up there,"
said Carl. "Where I was stationed
the temperature remained between
20 and 30 most of the time."

Scouts. Change Meeting Place
Boy Scout Troop 47 will change
its meeting place next Monday eve-
ning from the Centennial Building
to the recreation center on Wood-
ward Avenue. The building is being
fixed up by the scouts and will be
ready Monday night. The Rotary
Club, Troop 47 sponsoring institu-
tion, has turned this building over
to the boys for their use.


Police Batting .500 In
Burglaries, Not .667

Seems the lawyer retained to de-
fend J. C. Evans, who is being held
in the county jail in connection
with the safe-cracking at the Mc-
Gowin Motor Company, objects to
the headline used last week "Police
Department Batting .667 In Recent
Burglaries." Avers it should be
"Batting .500."
"My client will enter a plea of
'not guilty'," stated the lawyer,
"and since The Star goes to prac-
tically every possible juryman, I
would appreciate it if you would
correct this, since it gives the im-
pression Evans is guilty."
Our story was based on police
information, and if it is not correct,
we are glad to make the head "Bat-
ting .500," since no reputable news-
paper will intentionally condemn a
man in advance of his trial.


Survey Indicates That

Veterans Interested

In Proposed Institute

Details Outlined By Representatives
of Veterans Administration and
State Education Department

nesday afternoon b y representa-
tives of the veterans' administra-
tion and state department of edu-
cation to County Superintendent
Tom Owens and High School Prin-
cipals Harold Bell of this city and
W. C. Maddok ofVWewahitchka.

tion to the veterans' administration

ested in the possibility of attend-
ing this school.
Further announcements will be

Fish Fry and Program

Enjoyed By Port St. Joe

and Wewa Kiwanians

Evening of Hilarity Ensues As Two
Club Gather for Joint
Meeting

In a hilarious party that left the
guests uncomfortable from having
laughed so' much, and a fish fry
that left them stuffed to repletion,
Kiwanis members of Port St. Joe
and Wewahitchka and their ladies
enjoyed "The Laugh Fiesta" in a
joint meeting at Wewahitchka last
week, an eight-feature funfest that
never lagged from start,to finish.
Prince Nur-Al-Din of Bagdad, a
great oriental sand diviner who
read the fortunes of various mem-
bers in the shifting sands of his na-
tive Arabian desert, was the "guest
of honor." The members felt that
there was a strong resemblance
between the turbaned mystice and
Norris McCollum.
Following this clever interpreta-
tion, the big laugh event of the eve-
ning got under way. Three of the
St. Joe club's youngest or "baby"
members were asked to choose
their "mamas" from the audience,
other than their wives. Three com-
plete layettes, including baby bon-
nets, bibs and gowns, were rushed
to the scene. When the mamas
were asked to dress their babies,
the fun broke loose. The babes
were to be prepared for a sit-down
race, their mamas to guide and plug
for them. What followed was so un-
expected and filled with surprise
that you couldn't hear a word above
the mounting crescendo of laugh-

By Board After Public
Hearing Tuesday

Approximately 100 interested tax-
payers and members of the Gulf
County Taxpayers' League were on
hand at the court house in Wewa-
hitchka Tuesday morning when the
board of county commissioners held
a public hearing on the proposed
1949-50 county budget totaling $198,-
197.55 as published in The Star on
July 15.
Tobe Gay, chairman of the board,
asked those desiring to have the
budget reduced to stand up, and
about 80 of those present rose to
their feet. After this showing, the
chairman asked Clerk George Core
to read each item in the budget.
Discussion was held on each item,
and as a result several items were
entirely eliminated and others re-
duced. Entirely cut out were $4000
for repairs and upkeep on the court
house and jail, $900 for home dem-
onstration office help, and $9,138
for new equipment in the road and
bridge fund. The free labor item in
the road and bridge fund was
boosted $1000 to $5,230. A number
of other items were cut to a small
extent.
On the first reading pf the pro-
posed budget the board eliminated
$3000 each to the cities of Port St.
Joe and Wewahitchka, which comes

Game Commission To
Get Deer From Texas

Would Result In Saving of $60 On
Each Deer Released In Forests
of State This Fall

Negotiations now under way will
likely result in a saving of $60 on
each deer released in Florida for-
ests this fall, Coleman Newman of
Tallahassee, director of the state
game and fresh water fish commis-
sion, reveals.
Newman said he plans to confer
with the director of the wildlife
restoration division of the Texas
game, fish and oyster commission
in an effort to purchase 100 deer
trapped by the Texas agency on
the state's famous. Aransas Refuge.
"We will attempt to buy, 100
Texas whitetails at the actual trap-
ping and transportation cost and
release them in various protected
areas in Florida this fall," Newman
said.
The anticipated cost is $30 per
animal, as compared to a price of
1$90 a head that has been paid in
:previous years for deer purchased
from. a Wisconsin deer farm and
released in various deer sections
throughout the state.
In addition to the lowered cost,
Newman expressed the opinion
that Texas deer will become Ietter
acclimated in Florida than the Wis-
consin breed.

Observe Summer Health
Rules and Beat the Heat

Well Balanced Diet, Plent of Water
and Frequent Bathing
Are Best Bets

Some persons "feel the heat"
more than others, and suffer from
it no matter how they try to keep
cool. But many of us could be
more comfortable during these
stifling dog days with a little more
attention to "summer health" rules.
Our eating habits these dayz can
do much to restore energy as well
as comfort. A well balanced diet is
needed in any season. But heavy
meals are difficult to digest in hot
weather. More fruits and vege-
tables can be included in meals for
hot days. They are easy to digest
and rich in vitamins and minerals
necessary to well-being.
Perspiration is the body's cooling
system, and since the body loses
more moisture in hot and humid
weather, it's wise to drink plenty
of water throughout the day to re-
place the liquid. Fruit juices also
help replace the lost moisture in
the body and nourish it at the same
time.
Frequent bathing is important in
the summer. Extra baths keep the
skin clean, take away more wastes
that cause unpleasant odors, and
eliminate the dirt that clings to the
skin in summer and makes it vul-
nerable to infection.
Everyone should suit his own
summer exercise to his particular
health and strength. Physical exer-
cise in moderation, out of the di-
rect rays of the sun, sufficiently
long after meals, is the safe rule.
Though many people find trouble
sleeping on hot nights, keeping reg-
ular bedtime hours in the summer
make the hot days more bearable.
Those who have reason to doubt
their physical stamina, would do
well to check with their doctors be-
fore indulging in summer sports.

All Florida Beef Sold Must
Now Be Marked As Such

The law says a person cannot
sell Florida beef in, any eating
place, meat market or packing
house without marking it Florida
beef.
But Attorney General Richard W.
Ervin points out in an opinion to
the state livestock sanitary board
that the last legislature made no
provision for enforcing the act, be-
yond making it the responsibility
of the state hotel- commission and
sanitary board.
The two- boards, says the attor-
ney general, will have to do the
best they can without extra appro-
priations, but suggests Governor
Warren might want to call this de-
ficiency to the attention of the
legislature in its special session.

The mesozoic age came between
the permian and .teritary ages.

Our Country i Right or Wrong

QUIT KICKING!
According to some so-called experts here in
Port St. Joe, the present downturn in business
has been stimulated by the wait-and-see attitude
of many consumers. It is probable, if it is so, that
it has also been encouraged by that considerable
group who simply feel that prices are higher
than they should be and refuse to make avoid-
able purchases until they come down.
These attitudes are far from as logical and
sensible as they sound. For one thing, they ob-
struct the normal functioning of supply and de-
mand and curtail needed production. The editor
of The Star, who is building him a mansion on
the Dead Lakes to which to retire shortly, goes
right ahead buying building materials, fixtures
and furniture at present market prices, looking
at it this way: We're getting a higher rate for
pur advertising and for our commercial printing,
and, in proportion to everything else, the dollars
we get for' our work have the same value, in pro-
portion, to Jthe dollars we received five years
ago or more, in regard to purchasing power. We
have more of the dollars, but they're not worth
as much and consequently can't buy as much as
they could several years back. Prices of various
items are higher, but the value of the dollar is
considerably lower. Ergo: We're still getting the
same value for our dollars.
As far as prices go, who can judge a fair price


under existing conditions? Rare is the farmer
who is ready: to concede that he's getting too
much money for his product. The same is true of
manufacturers and distributors of virtually every
necessity and luxury, the same is true of the
publisher of The Star, and where is the workman
who would advocate a wage cut? It is folly for
anyone to establish in his mind an arbitrary con-
ception of a fair price-on the other fellow's
goods or labor.
In reality, the United States at this moment is
nearer to production-for-use under the capitalis-
tic "profit" system than communism, socialism or
any other theoretical social scheme could ever
hope to achieve. The proof of this is all around
us. Countless millions of -cars, telephones, wash-
ing machines, gadgets, and abundance without
end testify to the capacity of this country to fill
the material desires of the people-at a price the
people can pay.
So why sit around in morbid curiosity waiting
to see if things are going to pot? This country is
going ahead, come what may, and so is Port St.
Joe. As far as price, goes, you're getting your
money's worth, and American productive genius
and science have made available the greatest
selection of goods for your use in the history of
the world.
So quit kicking, and try to quit tqorrying.

DEMOCRACY'S OXYGEN
Visiting German students, after a year in Am-
erican schools, said that democracy was some-
thing they couldn't study but that they could
feel it.
Our democracy was probably like fresh air to
them. The exhilaration and pleasure of "living
in it" was like the life-giving effect of oxygen in
the air we 'breathe. The things that give life to
our democracy are our free institutions and an
opportunity to live a life unmolested by. powers
beyond our control.
Some of the elements that caused the German
.students to "feel" our democracy are a constitu-
tion to protect the rights of individuals, legisla-
tive bodies to form the laws, a judiciary system
to interpret the laws, and last, but not least, pri-
vate enterprise as the tangible evidence of the
freedom enjoyed by our citizens.
It's no wonder the German students "inhaled
the oxygen" of our democracy.

Final Week Put Gulf
County 'Over Top' In
Savings Bond Drive
State Quota of $12,180,000 Is Ex-'
ceeded By Almost
* $2,500,000
S. L. Barke, Gulf county co-chair-
man of the treasury department's
U. S. Savings Bond committee, an-
nounced yesterday that the report
of the final week's sales in the Op-
portunity Drive added $6,937 Series
E. U. S. Savings Bonds to the total
previously announced, bringing the
figure for the entire campaign up
to $16,066, which is 100.4% of the
county's quota of $16,000.
While the promotion phase of the
Opportunity Drive ended on June
30, the accounting period was set
to end July 18 to permit the pro-
cessing and transmittal of sales at-
tributable to the drive activity.
The final week's, report added
$3,348,302 to the state total which
brought the state sales to $16,675,-
654, or 128.7% of its quota of $12,-
180,000. The country as a whole
bought 120% of the national quota
and Florida finished in a tie for
14th place in the national stand-
ings, a record exceeded by only
four states east of the Mississippi.
River.
In all, 52 of Florida's 67 counties
oversubscribed their Opportunity
Drive quotas, while only 15 failed
of attainment by an aggregate de-
ficiency of less than $200,000.
FISH FRY AND PROGRAM
(Continued from page 1)
ter. Baby C. W. Long, encouraged
by eager gesturing and pats on the
back by his mama, Miss Edwina
Howell, won the prize. Mickey
Stone was a close second.
On arriving, guests were met by
Tom Owens, who presented them
with folders to be used in a "merry
mixer." These got the guests talk-
ing at once, on friendly terms. The
prize went to Mrs. Harold Bell. Ac-
tion favors contributed to the mer-s
riment during the fish fry.
Pandora's box of wit, wisdom and
satire brought 25 people to their
feet at different times with humor-
ous thrusts at human fads and
foibles.
Climax of the affair was "The
Battle of the Sexes In Song." Spe-
cial 'song books were distributed
with clever wQords to well known
tunes. General Harry McKnight
was in charge of the men, and Gen-
eralissimas Katherine Brooks and
Royce Dickens led the women. The
battle was declared a draw. Then
joining together, as all fair part-
ners should, they sang witty words
to the tune of "Auld Lang Syne."
Program Chairman Ben Dickens
had for his assistants Glenn Boyles
and Norris McCollum.

St. Joe Emerges As
Pennant Winner In
Junior Ball League
Take 7-0 Decision Over Highland
View In Final Tilt Behind No-
Hit Hurling of Murdock
Waring Murdock, husky right-
hander, pitched St. Joe to the Ju-
nior Baseball League pennant last
week. He turned in his second
straight no-hit game in succession
against Highland View in taking a
7-0 decision. Murdock fanned 19 of
the 21 men who faced him. But one
man got on base-by a walk-and
he was doubled off third as Pike
Kilbourn, leftfielder, made a nifty
throw after taking Billy Richards'
drive.
Kilbourn, Pierce Taunton and La-
mar Freeman accounted for all the
St. -Joe hitting with one hit each.
Taunton's was a line double that
'drove in three runs.
J. C. McArdle, Highland View's
ace, lost his first game of the sea-
:son. However, he allowed but three
hits. His wildness and loose play
*own crucial' occasions contributed to
his defeat.
St. Joe threw the race into a tie
by winning from Oak Grove. Lefty
Freeman regained his winning form
and let the Grovers down with but
three hits. He fanned nine men.
Bob Paulk started on the hill for
Oak Grove, and was relieved in the
fanned several of St. Joe's 16-year-
old lefty, who pitched good ball. He
fanned several lof St. Joe's 16-year-
old players in his three innings on
the mound.

The former ruling was 25 fish in
all, but not over 8 bass on a 25-fish
string or not over 20 of any one
variety.
The new ruling changes this to
25 fish, regardless of whether or
not they are mixed, but still not
more than S bass to the string, as
that is the legal limit on bass. In
other words, the entire string of 25
may be made up of 25 bream or 25
shellcrackers, or 17 shellcrackers
and bream mixed and 8 bass.
LeGrone says this will remove
confusion in the minds of some dis-
ciples of Izaak Walton, who were
under the impression that a "mixed
string" could consist of perhaps 24
bream and one shellcracker, or
vice versa.
Pine Lumber Leader
Nineteen million acres of wood-
land have produced enough pine
lumber to put Alabama ahead of
all states in this industry.

ney's Mill, respectively, as their
most valuable players.

dogs and 120 cold drinks at the
picnic. Buddy Scott, St. Joe out-
fielder, was declared the champion
eater, putting away eight hot dogs
and six cold drinks. His award for
this feat was another hot dog, which
he readily consumed.
The boys and Coach Marion
Craig wish to thank the Rotary and


Kiwanis clubs and the Moose lodge

ganizations and express personally
the thanks of the boys.

duction of the budget were C. G.

Vets Urged To Join

Legion During Drive

Commander Believes Strong Organ-
.ization Would Be of Benefit
To Disabled Veterans

Willis V. Rowan Post, American
Legion, wants 100 members by Au-
gust 20. In the July issue of the Am-
erican Legion Magazine, National
Commander Perry Brown, under
the heading "The Growing Attack
On Veteran's Benefits," says: "It
is my unhappy duty to call to the
attention of Legionnaires and all
veterans of both World Wars cer-
tain unmistakable evidence that
our hard-won veterans' benefits are
under dangerous, irresponsible and,
in some cases, greedy attack from
many sides.
"Today, for the second time in 16
years, opposition to established
veterans' benefits by special and
powerful groups contains elements
of a real crisis for all war veterans.
It represents a challenge which
calls for the full fighting strength
of the American Legion."
Ralph Rich, commander of Willis
V. Rowan Post, in commenting, had
this to say: "Certainly, we are in
favor of reasonable, legitimate and
honest economy, but we are not in
favor of the disabled veteran bear-
ing the brunt of such economy.
Economy which denies bread to the
disabled veteran is doggone poor
econ/omy-a downright shame and
disgrace.
. "Let's not lose the hard-won ben-
efits we now have through careless-
ness. I'd like to see a membership
Of at least 100 in our local post, and
I urge every eligible veteran to
join up now and let our national
commander know that we are back-
ing him 100 per cent in his fight to
retain the benefits for our disabled
-veterans.
"Join today. Our disabled veter-
ans will be eternally gratefiul."

Visitors Are Flocking To
New Undeveloped Park

The small group of rangers who
are taming the subtropical wilder-
ness called Everglades National
Park, the nation's newest national
park, watched in surprise as 70,836
tourists flocked into the park dur-
ing the year ending in June.
The visitors came despite the
fact that there is as yet only one
unimproved access road to the area
and none of the accommodations
usually found in a national park.
To the men who keep vigil over
this vast display of primitive na-
ture and wildlife that stretches
across the southwestern tip of Flor-
ida, the drove of visitors was quite
heartening.

SCHOOL BUDGET
(Continued from page 1)
$334,182.09 will be used for the con-
struction of new school buildings.
The millage proposed to be levied
on the 194'9 assessment roll to pro-
duce the necessary revenue for the
budget are 3 mills for county sup-
port and maintenance fund, 3.5
mills for district support and main-
tenance fund, and 1 mill for dis-
trict interest and sinking fund No.
2 (Port St. Joe district).
Complete details for each part of
the budget are on file in the office
of Superintendent Tom Owens in
the court house at Wewahitchka
and are available for public inspec-
tion.

Visit Relatives In Georgia
Mrs. C. W. Enfinger of this city,'

has dropped to the point where bee-
keepers are finding it impossible
to obtain their costs of production.
It appears obvious to the commit-
tee that, if these vitally important
insects are to be maintained in suf-
ficient numbers to pollinate crops,
the beekeeping indsutry must have
immediate assistance.


."Until the'time'conies when bee-
keepers can receive an adequate re-
turn from pollination services, the
committee believes that a price
support for honey, as provided in
this bill, is the only answer to this
problem."

Support for Honey and

Tung Nuts Is Okehed

Will Be of Considerable Help To
Many Beekeepers of
Gulf County

The national house of represen-
tatives Tuesday passed and sent to
the senate a bill to establish price
supports for tung nuts and honey.
Acting on advice of its agricul-
ture committee that said "both in-
dustries are in grave danger unless
relief is made available,' the house
voted to direct the secretary of ag-
riculture to support the price of
honey and tung nuts at 90 per cent
of parity.
The matter of the tung nut sup-
port, while vital to many parts of
Florida, is not of as great interest
to Gulf county as the support for
honey, since this county is one of
the largest producers of tupelo
honey in the state.
Support of honey prices was urged
by the committee because of the
service the bees perform in the pol-
lination of crops.
The committee said: "Since the
close of the war, the price of honey
