As Big Time Talent

'Walking Man' Will Prob-
ably Hold Down Second
for Reds Next Year

By EARL BOWDEN
From Port St. Joe hails a fleet,
versatile athlete with sandy hair
who carries the-cognomen of "The
Walking Man" in Oklahoma's
booming oil capital of Tulsa.
This serene young man is Johnny
Lane, second baseman for the fast,
pennant-contending Tulsa Oilers in
the class AA Texas League.
Lane, who has a sort of stubborn
'pride in being a work horse, is per-
haps the most versatile athlete ever
to come out of the corridors of the
Port St. Joe high school,
The five-foot eight-inch speedster,
who tips the beam at 160, was like
Citation during his varsity years in
football, basketball and baseball.
He excelled in baseball during his
growing pains in the Gulf coast
city, and he began playing short-
stop for the St. Joe Saints of the
semi-pro Gulf Coast League, a cir-
cuit that has contributed one big-
timer, veteran- Jimmy Bloodworth
of Apalachicola, who has made the
rounds almost as much as Bobo
Newsom and, is now with the Cin-
'cinnati Reds.
In 1947, Johnny jumped from
playing shortstop for the Saints to
the -Columbia -Reds of the .Class A
South Atlantic League, inking his
first professional contract Febru-
ary 28, 1947, with that farm club of
the Cincinnati Reds.
Although his batting mark of .268
was unimpressive, the young key-
stoner pilfered 33 bases during his
initial season and drew 87 bases on
balls, a feat for which he was later
to achieve fame.
In 1948, Johnny was moved up to
the Tulsa Oilers, where he hit .321,
the best batting average ever corn-

Cast Brings Forth Hoot
Owl Instead of Bass

Apparently you shouldn't be at
all surprised at what you get
when casting in Lake Wimico. At
least that's what Chet Cain of
Panama City thinks.
Seems Chet was casting for
bass in Wimico and he pitched
his plug under the roots of a tree
on the bank. No sooner had it hit
the water than a lurking hoot
owl pounced on it.
Chet brought in his catch -
hooked through the foot.

Saints Are Assured

Place In Playoff

Win Five Straight Games Against
Strong Competition; Will Play
Blountstown Here Today

Winning five straight games dur-
ing the past week, the Port St. Joe
Saints came up' from the dank cel-
lar position in the Gulf Coast
League to take fourth place in the
standings and be assured of getting
into lhe playoff which begins Sun-
day with Apalachicola playing in
Blountstown and St. Joe going to
Panama City.
In last Friday's game the Saints
took the Tallahassee Capitals by a
6-3 score and repeated Sunday in a
double-header by counts of 4-0 and
1-0.
In the two scheduled games with
Apalachicola the Saints took the
Oystermen here Tuesday 9 to 6,
battering three Apalach pitchers
from here to yonder. Ward, mounds-
man for the Saints, practically wone
his own game with a homer in the
fifth with one runner on base,
breaking up a 2-2 tie. St. Joe put
the game on ice in the sixth with
three more tallies.
In the return game played Wed-
nesday at Apalachicola, the Saints
took the heavy end of an 8-6 count,
but made it the hard way. In the
ninth inning the score stood 6-2 in
favor of the Oystermen, but a last-
minute rally by the St. Joe lads
drove in six runs to win the game.
Final game before the playoff -be-
gins will be here this afternoon
when the Saints meet the Blounts-
town Buccaneers, league leaders, in
a make-up game.

Legion Will Assist

Veterans To Get

Insurance Refund

Necessary Blanks Available
Evenings After August 29
At New Legion Home

Willis V. Rowan Post 116, Ameri-
can Legion, will assist all local vet-
erans in applying for the national
service life insurance dividends, ac-
cording to Post Commander Ralph
E. Rich.
"Our post will have the neces-
sary applications which veterans
will have to fill out for the veter-
ans administration to get .their
NSLI dividends," said Rich. "Every
veteran who held his NSLI policy
for 90 days or more will have a re-
fund coming to him. The veterans
administration expects to pay out
approximately $2,800.000,000 in these
refunds, and payments per veteran
are expected to average about $175.
"Applications should be filed as
quickly as possible, because it will
take weeks and months for a vet-
eran to get his refund check. In
order to help local veterans, the
new Legion home at the corner of
Williams Avenue and Third Street
will be open every evening from 7
to 8 o'clock, beginning August 29.
"Actually," Commander Rich ex-
plained, "the American Legion will
put on the biggest manhunt in his-
tory in trying to locate veterans
who are eligible for the refunds.
The Veterans Administration esti-
mates that some- 16;060,00., veter-
ans are entitled to refunds, and the
VA has the home address of only
6,000,000 eligible veterans. The Am-
erican Legion will help it to locate
10,000,000 others, some of whom are
probably in Gulf county."

COUNTY FAIR PLANS REVIVED

BY LONG-DORMANT AMERICAN

LEGION FAIR ASSOCIATION

St. Joe High Football

Schedule Announced

Ten-Game Season Opens Septem-
ber 23 and Concludes
November 25

A 10-game football schedule has
been announced by Coach Marion
Craig for the Port St. Joe Sharks
during the coming season. There
are two open dates, September 23
and October 28, to be filled before
the schedule is complete.
Five men were lost due to gradu-
ation last spring, but the Sharks
will have a total of 13 lettermen re-
turning with which to build another
formidable team. Two of the backs
lost by graduation, Buster Owens
and Charles Whitehead, will be on
the freshman squads at the Univer-
sity of Florida and Georgia Military
College, respectively.
Coach Oraig will face his hardest
task in rebuilding the backfield,
since but three capable lettermen
will return in the persons of Frank
Young, Philip Chatham and Bobby
Gibson. Positions in the forward
wall will be hard to clinch, since
there are ten regulars who earned
letters last year who will be back,
in addition to several newcomers.
The card as announced, of which
five are against Northwest Florida
.Conference opponents, follows:
Sept. 23-Open.
Sept. 30-Apalachicola, there.
Oct. 7-Chipley, there.
Oct. 14-Niceville, there.
Oct. 21-Bay High Junior Varsity
here.
Oct. 28-Open.
Nov. 4-Carrabelle, here.
Nov. 11-DeFuniak Springs, here.
Nov. 18-Bonifay, there.
Nov. 25-Altha, here.

Progress In Teachers'
Workshop Satisfactory

Progress in the Gulf county teach-
ers' workshop this week has been
most satisfactory, according to the
director of the 15-day session, Miss
Edna Parker.
All white teachers of the county
school system are enrolled in the
work, which is being carried on at
the local high school building. Most
of the work is carried on in various
committee meetings and with group
meetings of the primary, intermedi-
ate and secondary school teachers.
A field trip was carried out Wed-
nesday when the entire group vis-
ited the paper mill to observe its
operation. Other trips will be made
before the close of the workshop.
The last two days of the work-
shop will be devoted to the teach-
ers of the St. Joe and Wewahitchka
schools working in their respective
schools in final preparation for of-
ficial opening of classwork on Tues-
day, September 6.

To Be Held Here October f7
To 22 With Exhibits and
Carnival Attractions

At a special called meeting of
Willis V. Rowan Post 116, Ameri-
can Legion, held Tuesday night in
the new Legion home, which was
attended by Clyde Mayhall of Mari-
anna as representative of the L. B.
Lamb Shows, the Legion dug up and
dusted off the charter of the Gulf
County Fair Association, formed
'way back in August of 1944, and
talked over details of holding the
first of what is anticipated to be an
annual county fair.
Charter for the fair association
was approved in 1944 by the Gulf
county commissioners and is on
file at the court house in Wewa-
hitchka. Due to war activities and
other aggravations, at the time of
organization, plans were not car-
ried to completion, but now, with
the war out of the way, and the
country finally almost back to nor-
malcy after the post-war boom, it
is hoped the fair will go over big.
Mayhall informed the post that
he could get the same carnival for
Port St. Joe that plays annually at
the Bay County Fair in Panama
City, but that St. Joe could have it
first. He stated that the Lamb
Shows was too big for our city, but
that the Apalachicola Legion post
had contracted for the same date
and that the show would be split,
half of it playing here and half in
Apalachicola, giving each fair about
five or six rides and shows and fif-
teen or twenty concessions, which
would be different in both cities.
The carnival company will pro-
vide a 40x80-foot tent for use in the
displaying of livestock, agricultural
products, home demonstration, com-
mercial and civic organization dis-
plays.
Due to the lapse of five years
since the fair association was pro-
mulgated, a meeting has been called
for next Tuesday night at the Le-
gion home of officials of, the fair
association and interested parties
to hold a re-election of officers and
to work out further details of the
festival.

Our Country r Right or Wrong

THE SKUNK IN THE WOODPILE
The government is crying for money to meet
its countless commitments, as well as maintain
the normal- functions of governing.
To hold down the growing deficit between in-
come and outgo, it follows a penny-wise, pound-
foolish policy.
It .saves pennies by pinching on such vital and
legitimate functions as the forest service, coast
guard, farm-to-market roads, harbor improve-
ments and similar activities which are strictly
government services of a public character. '
Then it needessly wastes billions on such ac-
tivities as aid to Europe, in which your friend
(he ain't ours) Harry Truman is asking about a
billion and a half of the taxpayers' dollars for
arms for Europe and that he be allowed to spend
it as he wishes. Imagine that! A man who failed
as a purveyor of collar buttons and neckties, and
who got into politics through the notoriously
crooked Pendergast machine, asking for a billion
and a half dollars of yours and mine to spend as
he sees fit.
And, if you follow the news closely, you'll find
that other politicians (and we rate your friend
-he ain't ours-Harry, strictly as a politiciann,"
*-we couldn't, without lying, call him a "states-
man") promising to give people something for
nothing in return for their votes in a polite
method of swindling them out of their eyeteeth
through higher and higher taxes.
Every day it becomes more apparent that
there is a well-designed federal plan being pro-
moted to socialize the United States. This is

Tropic Storm Strikes City
A tropical storm hit Apalachi-
,cola, Port St. Joe and Panama City
;Saturday afternoon, with weather
Thureau reports indicating winds of
5i0 miles an hour with gusts record-
ing 60 miles per hour. Little dam-
age was done in this city, outside
of a few trees blown down and
shingles ripped from garages and
residences Greatest damage was to
the recently-completed warehouse
at the docks, which had both ends
blown out with damage estimated
in the neighborhood of $4000. Tele-
phone and telegraph lines into this
city were put out of commission,
atil electric service was interrupt-
ed for about three hours.

done under devious guises, but the end result is
always the same-tax-exempt government mon-
opoly, centralized political control of local re-
sources, and loss of home rule and taxation.
When is the Washington government going to
quit shouting benevolence and Utopia via the
socialization route and settle down to the less
spectacular chore of maintaining the essential
functions of government? Why must any Ameri-
can enterprise be sacrificed by the piecemeal
adoption of the British socialization-of-industry
program?
Unless the people reject the encroachment of
the federal government in local affairs, state
governments will soon be mere collection agen-
cies to dig up taxes to support.a gigantic federal
bureaucracy within their borders.
The raids on the public treasury begin to
smell.

SECURITY--BAH!
Some time back we wrote an editorial based
on a newspaper story in which a poll of several
thousand college students disclosed that what
the majority wanted was "security."
A few months back our brother-in-law, Billy
Coody, a GI college student, was here on a visit,
and he, too, stated that was he was looking for
was "security." .. This was brought to mind by
another news story in the papers this week.
Security! That is the mess of pottage for which
we are selling our birthright in freedom. The so-
called security of the politician and the bureau-
crat who uses that promise to rivet new chains
on us!
What security did George Washington and the
men who followed him seek?
Are not our taxes and restrictions greater to-
day than were those under the British "tyranny"?
Oh, the betrayals that have been wrought aind
are being wrought in the name of "security"!
What profiteth security if we lose our freedom?

A friend of ours advanced the theory, not long
ago, that it was all right for the government to
take a big bite from huge incomes. "After all',"
he explained, "the government spends the money
and it is put in circulation-so it goes on work-
ing." Just can't adhere to that theory. If we had
$10 (which most of the time we don't), we'd
hate to give it to some fellow who sits on that
portion of his anatomy where the pants get shiny
just because he voted the "right way." We'd
sooner give that ten-spot to the fellow who
really earns it.-Freeport APa.) Journal.

RIDAY, AUUTI.14 TH STR PORTI ST. iiO lU! CUT, FORI PG FIY

JOHNNY LANE,

(Continued from page 1)
piled by a second baseman in the
Tulsa club's history.
Texas League scribes tabbed him
as "The Walking Man" due to his
drawing 118 bases on balls. He led
the loop in runs scored with 115,
and despite the handicap of batting
leadoff for the Oilers, the "Walker"
drove in 50 runs during his first
campaign with the Oklahoma club.
At this writing, Johnny is leading
the Texas loop with 106 runs scored
and his far ahead of his last sea-
sons record pace.
Johnny won a tryout with the
parent Cincinnati Reds last spring,
and the Reds' board of strategy
tabbed him and Lloyd Merriman as
the "prize rookies" from the cur-
rent crop of farmhands. Although
Johnny has been shortlived in or-
ganized baseball, with only two
seasons under his shirt, the Gulf
county product added punch to the
.fading Red inner defense during
spring training.
Solution for strengthening the
Reds' infield was the insertion of
an experienced head in the vital
keystone slot, and after many hours
of front office consultation, Johnny
emerged as No. 1 rookie on the list
of eligibles from the Reds' farm
chain. However, Jim Bloodworth,
making a comeback to the majors
for his tenth season, was secured
from the Montreal Royals of the
International League where he won
the most valuable player award last
season, and it was this veteran
keystoner the front office at the
last minute elected to take the in-
field reins.
Lane got his chance. when Blood-
worth broke a finger, and, next to
-Merriman, he won the soothsaying
scribes' recognition as being the
best rookie in the South Florida
camp.
Johnny, who set a brilliant pace
both offensively and defensively,
an d. pounded Grapefruit League
pitching like he owned it, was
picked by the writers to hold down
the keystone sack for the Rhine-
landers, but he was brought up so
fast he wasn't included on the
'Reds' roster.
After the Reds closed their Plant
Field camp and started their road
jaunt north, Manager Bucky Wal-
ters sent Johnny back to Tulsa for
another year of seasoning, with the

intention of bringing the Port St.
Joe product back up with the par-
ent club next season. In fact, Man-
ager Walters reported in spring
training that Lane definitely was
big time talent and he probably will
patrol second for the Reds next
summer.
Johnny, deemed by a throng of
Tulsa Oiler fans as their pride and
joy because of his stellar perform-
ance in '48, was welcomed back
with eager enthusiasm. Oiler fol-
lowers were crying for "The Walk-
ing Man from St. Joe" at the open-
ing of the '49 campaign to help
put the clamps on the Texas League
flag.
Although Lane doesn't hit long
balls because of his small frame,
the quick-thinking infielder man-
ages to reach the first turnstile
consistently, and to date in his two-
year span ih pro ranks has rapped
out 61 doubles, 18 triples and one
home run, besides pilfering 59
bases.

Husband Gets All the Mail, She Sez
Mrs. John Hendrix, wife of our
new doctor, came into The Star
office Tuesday to take out a sub-
scriptio.n "Send it in my name,"

Florida Retailers
Assn. Opposed To
New Major Taxes

Poll Taken of Members Indi-
cates Majority Against
Retail Sales Tax
The Florida State Retailers As-
sociation broke out this week with
an illustrated broadside in vigorous
opposition to any new major tax
burden upon the people of Florida.
The broadside, of which The Star
has a copy, went to 10,000 Florida
merchants, urging them. to order
additional f6pies for distribution to
customers anil friends, and to use
portions of the broadside as adver-
tisements in newspapers.
Five major points are outlined
in the printed brochure to clinch
the association's position. Sup-
ported by facts and figures on state
finance, they are:
1. Public officials are inclined to
underestimate anticipated tax re-
ceipts and overestimate financial
requirements.
2. No one has yet established
any business-like estimate of how
much, if any, new taxes the state
needs.
3. It is a fallacy to say that just
because our state is growing rapid-
ly, we must necessarily impose new
taxes.
4. Those who feed at the public
trough constantly cry for more
money.
5. The administration is for any
kind of a retail sales tax called by
any other name than a general
gales tax.
Five significant statements taken
from Governor Warren's campaign
messages are included in the pre-
sentation-each deploring a sales
tax as unfair and unjust. "It is ac-
curately estimated that a sales tax
would cost every fanmily.in Fi.a'.lA
$125 a year," .Candidate \",a' el' is
quoted. "Family incomes' can't be
stretched that far without causing
hunger and other hardships. It
would be callously cruel to siphon
$60,000,000 a year out of the pock-
ets of the people with a sales tax."
In another paragraph, Candidate
Warren is quoted as follows: "If
the sales taxers succeed in putting
over their extortionate scheme, the
people of Florida will pay about
$104 per person for state govern-
ment alone. When they select a
governor next May, they will have
a chance to reject this unnecessary
and anti-social tax which would not
only pick the pockets of the poor
but also ream the rich. No new
taxes of any kind should be im-
posed upon the people of Florida
until the wanton waste of several
million dollars a year is stopped by
the passage of an act creating a
central purchasing commission for
the state."
In a state-wide poll of grocers
just completed by the retailers as-
sociation, an overwhelming vote of
more than 20 to 1 against a retail
sales tax was registered, the or-
ganization announces. The Pensa-
cola to Key West poll was taken
to demonstrate as unfounded, a
claim that Florida grocers favored
a sales tax.
Board Cancels. Alternate
Day Ban On Waterfowl
Hunting of ducks, geese and
other migratory waterfowl will. be
allowed every, day during the open
season, the state game- and fresh
water ,fish commission voted Mon-
day.
The commission decided not to
enforce its prohibition against hunt-
ing on Mondays, Tuesdays and Fri-
days on migratory fowl because of
the short season set by the federal
government. The alternate day ban,
however;'will apply to dove:
The migratory waterfowl season
extends from November 29 to Jan-
uary 7, and the dove season from
December 17 to January 15.
