It was decided at this time that the playoffs will begin on Sunday, Au- gust 21, and that all league games must be played by Saturday, Au- gust 20. The finals in the Shaugh- nessy playoff will end September 11. Official umpires will be used in this final series.

These three games with Talla- hassee are of vital import to St..

JOE, FLORIDA, FRIDAY, AUGUST 12, 1949 Lightning Hits Twice During Sunday Storm Does Damage At Block Plant and Knocks Shingles Off Anderson Home During a severe thunderstorm Sunday afternoon, which was ac- companied by an extremely heavy downpour of rain, lighting bolts hit twice in Port St. Joe, one striking the small building housing the con- crete block plant operated by Wat- son Smith on Fifth Street, and the other striking the Otto Anderson home on Monument Avenue. Damage at the Anderson resi- dence was slight, the bolt knocking off several asbestos shingles on the front and back of the roof and breaking an outside gas pipe, thru which it apparently entered the earth. Luckily, the Andersons were at their Beacon Hill beach cottage- at the time. At the Smith block plant the lightning entered on a heavy con- duit carrying electric wires into the building. It completely burned out the wiring, demolished a large switch and fuse box, destroyed an electric welder on the floor beneath the switch box, and set a corner of the building afire. A passing mo- torist saw smoke emerging from the building and turned in a fire alarm. Watson, a member of the volun- teer fire department, "caught -the truck but didn't know it would take him to a fire at his own plant. RECEIVES DIPLOMA AND WINGS AS PARATROOPER Mr. and Mrs. J. F. Pierce and children attended the paratroopers graduation exercises last Friday at Fort Benning, Ga., when their son, Pvt. Frank J. Pierce, received his diploma and wings as a para- trooper. Pvt. Frank and a friend, Pvt. George E. Smith, accompanied the Pierces home for the week-end, re- turning Sunday to their duties at Benning. * -K .BLAZE AT BEAUTY SHOP The fire department was called out about 7 o'clock Saturday night to answer an alarm from Jean's Beauty Shop, where a fluorescent light started cutting up and endan- gered the wiring. No damage. -K Friday Visitors Mr. and Mrs. Orin Clements and daughter Jean and Mary Christine Watson of Blountstown and W. E. HoWard of Brundidge, Ala., were guests last Friday of Mr. and Mrs. J. J.

Dividends To Be Available Soon Government Will Start Jan- uary 1st Paying Off On Insurance Premiums Bill Linton, Gulf county service officer, dropped in at The Star of- fice to inform us that forms for ap- plication for special national ser- vice' life insurance dividends will be available on August 29 at the post- office in Port St. Joe and at the postoffice and his office in Wewa- hitchka. These forms, in the shape of a three-fold card, may be applied for by veterans of World War II so they can get their share of the $3,600,000,000 melon to be cut, cre- ated by overpayments on GI insur- ance. It is estimated that several hun- dred Gulf countians who carried GI insurance will get refunds, esti- mated to average around $140 and running as high as $500 in some instances. The application forms will be filled out in triplicate. The veteran writes his full name, service num- ber, insurance policy numbers and his address, mails two parts of the card to the Veterans' Administra- tion and keeps the third part. He receives back one of the two cards mailed as an. acknowledgment of (Continued on page 4) KINGRY REBUILDING Bob Kingry is rebuilding his bar and grill at Palm Point that was destroyed by fire recently.

' This opinion was voiced by Flor- ida's first lady at a Beacon Hill beach party at which Representa- tive George Tapper was host and Mrs. Robert Tapper and Mrs. A. L. Ward acted as -hostesses. Others in the party accompany- ing Mrs. Warren were Miss Alma Warren, sister of Governor Fuller Warren; Mrs. Raymond Barnes, wife of the chairman of the state industrial commission; Mrs. Rob- ert Ghotto, wife of the secretary of the state road department; Alford McKeithen, chairman of the state road department; Marion Nelson, member of the state road depart- ment, Third&District, and-wife; Jack Hernaon, division' maintenance en- gineer and George Dickersou, di- vision engineer, state road depart- ment, Third District; Quentin Long, resident attorney, state'road de. parthment, and wife; and' ten other members of the state road depart- ment, Third District. All were entertained at a chicken barbecue, the first Mrs. Warlen had ever partaken of, and which she pronounced as delicious. Later sev- eral members of the party were taken for a boat ride on the bay. "I think Florida's west coast beaches are very beautiful and I believe that the beaches in this vi- cinity are destined for great fu- ture development," said Mrs. War- ren. "The waters of the Gulf are nicer to swim in than the Pacific Ocean. I really enjoyed being here, as it is the first time I have been able to relax since coming to Flor- ida, as all other parties and enter- tainments were 'on. schedule' and I have-had to scurry from one to another." te Joe icates Ex- ted and all sted to en Mon- 'ard for n in or- e might hitchka, set up, efficientt rho are tending iminary approxl- colored 'e inter- the pre- who did .rged to papers in the ay.

The spoken word is given scant attention; the printed word is thoughtfully weighed. The spoken word barely asserts; the printed word thoroughly convinces. The spoken word is lost; the printed word remains. Our Country Right or Wrong FIVE PRINCIPLES Glenn Boyles, one of The Star's most persist- ent and best advertisers, when queried as to how to merchandise and make a go of it, said: "There are five simple principles of running a store: (1) Find out what people want. (2) Have it. (3) Advertise it. (4) Find out what people don't want. (5) Don't have any of it." Those five principles have taken on an added importance, now that the buyers' market is back in most lines, and consumers are shopping around for the best deal for the money. Back of it all, of course, lies competition. It is the goad that guarantees good service and fair prices. If one store in Port St. Joe hasn't got what people want, they'll go down the street or over to Panama City and buy it. If one store tries to charge prices which are out of line, trade soon becomes conspicuous by its absence. If a store is unattractive and run down, and the displays have a moth-eaten look, a "For Rent" sign will soon occupy the window. Merchants of Port St. Joe, if a look over their stores today is any criterion, know that the era ,of shortages, when almost anything could be :sold, even if it were shoddy, is over. They're act- ing accordingly. FASTER THE SPEED, GREATER THE RISK When you spin the needle of an automobile speedometer you are gambling with much higher stakes than when you spin a roulette wheel- because you bet your life! The adage that the faster you go the harder you hit is proved by statistics which show that fatalities increase enormously as speed increases. If you have an injury accident at 45 miles per -hour, the chances of someone being killed are 1 ;in 16. At 55 m.p.h., the odds are 1 in 6 that STEN YEARS AGO From the Files of The Star Consider Electric Plant Application An application for a franchise to furnish electricity in the city of Port' St. Joe was considered Tues- day night by the city commission. The application was made by the Home Owners Aid Corporation. It was decided to hold the matter in abeyance until information was se- cured from the corporation in re- gard -to a financial statement, list of officers, schedule of proposed rates, and the type of plant and- distribution system intended to be constructed. The matter of grant- ing such a franchise would have to be voted upon by residents of the city. Arbogast Nimmo Miss Josephine Elene Nimmo of Palatka, daughter of Mrs. C. A. Nimmo of this city, and John Clif- ford Arbogast of Asheville, N. C., were united in marriage Wednes- day evening in the St. James Epis- copal Church, thie Rev. V. G. Low- ery, archdeacon of the western con- vocation, performing the: ceremony. City To Impose Gasoline Tax Tuesday evening, upon unani- someone will be killed. To drive 400 miles you can gain a little more than one hour by increasing your constant speed from 55 m.p.h. to 65 m.p.h., but to gain that one hour you double the chance of someone being killed if you have an injury accident! A safe speed depends upon four things, ac- cording to safety authorities: The age, physical condition and ability of the driver. An older driver usually reacts more slowly to danger than a young person, for example. Similarly, a person with subnormal eyesight must drive slower than someone with good eyesight. The mechanical condition of the car. Automo- biles should be kept in good condition, but if brakes, headlights or tires are not in top condi- tion, speed must be reduced. Traffic congestion. Speed obviously cannot be as high on a crowded roadway as it can on a clear, open stretch of highway. Condition of the roadway and visibility condi- tions. Speed must be reduced when it is raining, or when driving on uneven pavement, stone or gravel. At night, a safe. speed is one which will permit you to stop in the distance illuminated by you headlights. KEEPERS OF THE HONEY Watching Ed Pridgeon take the honey from his bee hives, we were struck with the thought that that was the way communistic governments look upon their people-in the same manner as a beekeeper looks upon his bees. The people and the bees must produce for the bosses in order to earn a living-of a sort-and get a hive for shel- ter. But the government and the keeper get the honey. People don't thrive under the beekeeper plan because they are individuals. They demand more than the privilege of producing for political over- lords at the expense of their freedom and in re- turn for questionable security, although we will say that Ed takes good care of his bees. Many revolutions arnd civil wars have occurred over resentment at dictatorial government acting as a keeper of the people's honey. Eventually men will reject a government that plays the part of the beekeeper-and .that is exactly what your friend (he ain't ours) Harry Truman is trying to do today-become the beekeeper of the United States and take all the honey for the government. It seems to be getting more and more difficult for the government to put across its explanations that the present scarcity of jobs does not in any way indicate a business recession. It is hard to explain some things to a man whose job is gone. Meanwhile, government expenses are skyrocket- ing without any.slowdown. And the administra- tion is asking for more and still more taxes.-The Paw Paw (Ill.) Times. mous vote, the city commissioners instructed City Attorney E. Clay Lewis to draw up an ordinance pro- viding for a tax upon gasoline at the rate of one cent per gallon. The ordinance will provide that 25 per cent of the revenue derived from the tax go for current WPA proj- ects and 75 per cent be used in re- tiring the city's indebtedness to the Smith Engineering Company for street work. Such a gas levy was authorized by the last session of the legislature. Schools To Open September 11 Chauncy L.

If he suspects polio he will report the case to the Gulf county health department and arrange for hospitalization or home care, as indicated. If the doctor says it is polio and requires hospitalization, the Gulf County Chapter of the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis will help arrange for transportation to a treatment center. As soon as the patient goes to the hospital- or if the doctor advises the patient can be treated at home-get in touch with Joe Mira, chairman of the Gulf county chapter, to arrange for any needed assistance. A representative of the local chapter will notify the hospital that it is arranging with you for full or partial payment of expenses for medical care. Adults are as eligible for help as are children. March of Dimes funds are used to help families of moderate in- come who cannot meet the high costs of modern care of this expen- sive disease. The help is a gift- not a loan. While families that can 1pay are expected to do so, no fam- ily is expected to impoverish itself to meet medical exper.ses for polio. Local chapters pay for hospitali- zation, professional services, in- cluding nursing and physical ther- apy, transportation to and from hospitals, convalescent centers and clinics, treatment after hospitaliza- tion, and appliances such as wheel- chairs, braces, etc., as needed. In addition, the Gulf county chap- ter can put you in touch with the proper sources for nursing and physical therapy at home, can refer you to rehabilitation and vocational training agencies, will provide lit- erature designed to foster better understanding of infantile paraly- sis-so you will know what to ex- pect and how to help your polio pa- tient back to a useful life.
