Saints Fail To

Get In Gulf League

Playoff Games

. Drop Two Straight To Pan-
ama City; Hold League-
Leading Bucs To Tie

The St. Joe Saints were elimi-
* nated from the Shaughnessy play-
t off of the Gulf Coast League Wed-
nesday afternoon at the local ball
park when the Panama City Sea-
hawks took them 5-1 for the second
* straight game in the best two-out-
of-three series. The Saints lost the
first game Sunday at Panama City
3-2 in a 10-inning tilt.
Around the rest of the loop the
Blountstown Buccaneers defeated
the Apalachicola Oystermen 5 to 4
Sunday and repeated Wednesday
with a 15-7 count, thus entering the
five-game playoff series for the pen-
nant against the Seahawks.
In a make-up game with the Buc-
caneers played here last Friday,
the Saints held the league-leading
Blountstowners to an 8-8 tie in a
10-inning fracas lasting two hours
and a half which was finally called
on account of darkness.
The visitors started off great
guns, scoring four runs in the first
inning and one in the second and
holding the Saints scoreless until
the fourth, when the local lads made
it 5-3 and in the fifth tied up the
count at 5-5.
The Bucs buckled 'down in the
sixth canto and scored tbr.ee more,
holding the lead until the last of
the ninth, when St. Joe rose up in
wrath and made it 8-all to start a
new game.
Blountstown batters went down
one-two-three in the first of the
tenth and St. Joe had an excellent
chance to take the honors when,
with one away, Hannon and Adams
were walked. But the opportunity
faded when Burke singled, Adams
was out at second and Herring hit
directly to the pitcher.

County Board Shown
Error of Its Way I-

A delegation of determined wo-
men representing Home Demon-
stration clubs of the county, ap-
peared before the county com-
missioners Tuesday to protest
against the discontinuance of a
clerk in the 'home demonstration
agent's office in the interests of
"economy."
Showing what a small band of
fast-talking and determined wo-
men can do to mere men, the
board, after hearing the delega-
tion, made provision to furnish a
clerk as demanded.
Spokesmen for the delegation
were Mrs. Jeseph T. Land of We-
wahitchka, Mrs. Alton Hardy of
Overstreet and Mrs. E. L. Antley
of White City.
Our private opinion is that the
county home demonstration of-
fice will have the assistance of a
clerk for many years to come.

CIVIC ORGANIZATIONS WOULD

HAVE ST. JOSEPH PENINSULA

CONVERTED INTO STATE PARK


Message Bottle Found
On Beach Here After Long
Trip In Gulf Stream

In the weekly Hydrographic Bul-
letin of August 6, issued by the hy-
drographic office of the U. S. Navy,
a report is made of a bottle found
July 1 on St. Joseph Peninsula by
Fred Maddox.
According to the report, the bottle
had been tossed overboard by D. L.
Campbell, an officer aboard the
British steamship Empire Regent,
on July 8, 1946, about 20 miles off
Jupiter Inlet on the east coast of
Florida.
These message bottles are thrown
into the sea in order to study the
ocean currents, and according to
the bulletin, the bottle found here
had apparently made a trip of ap-
proximately 7800 miles.
Following the Gulf Stream, this
would carry it north to Newfound-
land, across the Atlantic, down the
coast of Europe to the Azores, back
across the Atlantic, through the
Caribbean Sea and up the Gulf of
Mexico to the point where it was
found by Mr. Maddox.

Used During War As Target
Range, Is Now Declared
Surplus By Army

A movement has been started by
civic groups here to explore the
possibility of having St. Joseph
Peninsula converted into a state
park.
It is pointed out that the penin-
sula, approximately twelve miles
long and varying in width from a
quarter mile to one mile, with high
sand dunes in the center and an
exceptionally fine beach some five
miles in length, could be made into
a different type park than any now
in the state. A considerable portion
of the spit is heavily wooded which
areas could be made into attractive
camp sites for various groups. Both
bay and gulf type fishing is avail-
able, and this feature would be a
tourist attraction for this area.
The peninsula was used during
the war by Tyndall Field personnel
as a bombing and machine gun
range, and timber on the site is im-
bedded with machine gun bullets,
making it absolutely worthless for
sawmill purposes.
Since the peninsula has now been
declared surplus by the war depart-
ment through the U. S. Army En-
gineers office in Mobile, Represen-
tative Geoorge Tapper has urged
the Port St. Joe Kiwanis Club and
Rotary Club to unite in a concerted
movement to see if plans cannot be
made whereby the Florida Park
Service and the federal government
would be able to make necessary
arrangements to have the penin-
sula made into a state park.

ECONOMICS IN EIGHT WORDS
(Ed Note: The following editorial is based on a
story by the late Jack Falstaff which appeared 11
years 'ago in the Cleveland Press. We think the
story sizes up the situation concisely.)
Once upon a time a great and wise king ruled,
a populous and prosperous land. But a plague of
poverty came upon the land, and no man knew
its cause. There were mighty and inconclusive
;arguments in the halls of government, and many
learned graybeards in the schools advocated this
remedy or that. The king, seeing that his people
were starving and distressed in the midst of
plenty, called his wisest counselors from the four
quarters of the kingdom.
Seated on his golden throne and arrayed in his
royal robes,, he commanded them to lend him
{their wisdom. Then began an argument that
lasted all through the night, until the king's head
,dropped wearily with the weight of the sap-
phires and diamonds in his golden crown: As
,dawn was breaking, he arose and said:
-'Here is only confusion of tongues. I have
'heard many of you speak of a science called eco-
nomics, which may prove the key to my people's
troubles. Mark well my words: One month hence
let all the economists of my kingdom assemble
here, bringing with them a short and simple text
,on this subject of economics, so that I may find
light and my people may be saved."
A month passed. The economists assembled,
.and their number was two thousand and ten.
"Where is my short text on economics?" asked
-the king.


"0, sire," replied the chief economist, "we have
it not. To prepare such a text will require at
least a year."
"That," said the king, "is a long time, and my
people languish. But, go now, and get to work
without delay."
A twelve-month later the economists took their
places in the great audience hall, around the
crystal walls of which stood the palace guards,
armed with spears and crossbows. Then stood
forth the graybearded chief economist.
"Oh, King," he said, "we have labored with all
diligence and have prepared the short text on
economics for which you asked. We have it here
in 87 volumes of 600 pages each, profusely illu-
strated with charts and graphs."
The king, exceedingly wroth, raised his scep-
ter and let it fall with a crash, so that the great
sapphire in its tip bit deeply into the table top
before him. And the guards, raising their cross-
bows, shot one thousand and five of the econo-
mists.
"Now," thundered the king, "get you gone,
and return not until you have written me a really
brief text on economics." And the remaining
economists fled down the long hall, and the iron
doors of the palace clanged behind them.
Year after year they returned to the palace,
bringing each time a slightly more condensed
version of the text on economics. But never was
the king satisfied, and each time the palace
guards shot more economists until at last only
one remained alive.
He was a man of profound wisdom, but aged
and feeble, so that never had he been able to
make his voice heard above the disputations of
his colleagues.
This last economist plodded slowly to the pal-
ace and sought audience with the king, himself
now a graybeard, sad and bent with pondering
the troubles of his people. Trembling, the last
economist approached the throne, prostrated
himself before the king, and spoke:
"Sire, in eight words I will reveal to you all the
wisdom that I have distilled through all these
years from all the writings of all the economists
who once practiced their science in your king-
dom. Here is my text:
"There ain't no such thing as free lunch."

Why is there such an affinity between a negro
and a chicken? Because one descended from
Ham and the other from eggs.

Warren Predicts

New Funds Will Be

Raised In Jig Time

Avers 'Growing Sentiment'
Favors More Taxes To
Pay State's Way

Last week Governor Warren of-
ficially called the Florida legisla-
ture into a special revenue-raising
session on September 7, and just
prior to making announcement of
the special session he predicted
that the solons will pass new reve-
nue measures "in short order."
He said there was "growing senti-
ment". in favor of additional taxes
to pay the state's way in the cur-

Limit the legislature to providing
more money for the state.
The official call limited the ses-
sion to the "sole purpose of con-
sidering the enactment of laws
and proposing constitutional amend-
ments which will raise or provide
sufficient revenue to defray the ex-
penses of the government, includ-
ing state appropriations for com-
mon schools, institutions of higher
learning, the health and welfare
programs, the state institutions and
all other functions of government."


The legislature will be limited ganizations had called on Warren
during the special session to the to include in his call for there 20-day


subjects listed in the governor's
call, unless each house musters a
twq-thirds vote to take up other

The call, addressed to members
of the ,house and senate, said un-

Several legislators and some or-

simply because of a mistaken belief
that a birth certificate is required

"Actually," said Scott, "we know
that people in Alabama and Flor-

a general system of birth registra-

New Wallet-Size

Birth Certificate

Is Now Available

State Board of Health Put-
ting Out Tamper-proof
Plastic Card

A new service to the people of
Florida-a wallet-size, birth regis-
tration card in tamper-proof plas-
tic-is being offered by the state
board of health.
Many people find it helpful to
carry their birth registration card
on their person to use as identifi-
cation, for, securing positions, prov-
ing age, citizenship, etc.
The new birth record card is
more convenient than the regular
birth certificate. It has less infor-
mation on it than the regular cer-
tificate, but it will be adequate in
the majority of cases in which a
copy of the complete birth record
is not required. Essential informa-
tion such as name, sex, race, birth
date and birthplace, is shown.
A legislative act made birth cer-
tificates confidential records. This
was done to protect the individual
from unnecessary disclosure of
such facts as illegitimacy, unknown
parentage, adoption, and other data
which might cause embarrassment.
Now certified jphotostatic copies
of birth certificates will be issued
only to the individual of legal age,
his or her parent, guardian or
other legal representative, health
and social agencies, upon approval
of the state registrar, or upon court
order.
Floridians are also reminded that
a legislative act increased the cost
of birth, death, marriage and di-
vorce record copies from '50c to $1.
This was necessary due to the in-
creased cost of providing applicants
with such copies. The old fee of 50c
had been in effect since 1917.
Week-end Visitors
Mr. and Mrs. Johnny Daniells of
Kingsland, Ga., visited here- over
the week-end with relatives. Mr.
Daniells left Sunday for Thomas-
ville, where he entered Archibald
Hospital for treatment.

INTEREST GROWING IN
BAKERY NAME CONTEST
Considerable interest is being
shown in Port St. Joe in the "Name

The public is urged to enter as
many names as they wish in the
contest on entry blanks enclosed
with each loaf of bread or the cou-
pon on page eight of this issue of
The Star.
Blanks are being enclosed in the
regular loaf put out by Thom-pson's,
which is not the new loaf to be
named. This will be of a different
shape and texture, and is being
awaited expectantly by the public
and grocery stores.

Tapper Re-States

His Intention To

Introduce Tax Bill

In speaking before the Wewa-
hitchka Rotary Club on July 13,
Representative George Tapper told
his listeners that "I feel that we
can not continue to grow and prog-
ress and give services to the peo-
ple of our state on less money than
was appropriated at the recent ses-
sion of the legislature, which is
$240,000,000," and that "I shall vote
for a modified three per cent sales
tax."
Reiterating his stand this week,
Representative Tapper made the
following statement:
"In' my opinion, Governor Warren
did a very wise thing in allowing
several months to go by between
the regular session of the legisla-
ture and the special session which
begins September 7.
"During that time, both the mem-
bers of the legislature and the gen-
eral public have had a chance to
study the. state's needs. We have
been able to see clearly, for ex-
ample, that general government
represents only 3.5 per cent of the
appropriations bill.
"While all of us favor economy
in government, it has become plain
that even if all the functions of gen-
eral 'government were abolished,
the savings would not be sufficient
to prevent a large deficit in the
treasury during the next two years.
"I have' said in the past, and I
will say again, that I intend to in-
troduce a limited sales tax as soon
as the special session convenes.
Such a tax would have broad ex-
emptions so that the little man who
spends most of his income for the
necessities of life will be affected
very little by it.
"At the same time, without work-
ing any undue hardship upon any-'
one, it will provide money to fi-
nance our schools .decently and to
give better care for a group that
4has been neglected too long-the
-mentally ill who are confined in our
state institutions."

Wrong Name On New Gal
Through some error last week in
--the "Hello, World" department, the
name of young Miss Jordan, new
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Lamar
Jordan, who arrived Monday, Au-
gust 15, was given as Malinda Ann.
It should have been Belinda Ann.

FAIR ASSOCIATION
(Continued from page 1)
an equal number of directors from
the north end of the county.
An appeal will be made to the
board of county commissioners for
some assistance in presenting the
fair, and a committee composed of
Arthur Lupton, Cubie Laird, Mickey
Stone. W. 0. Roberts, Mrs. P. G.
1Hart, Mrs. Madaeline Whitaker and
T. M. Schneider will go before the
board at its meeting September 13
to present their plea.
County Agent Laird was called
upon for his opinion of the proposed
fair, since the matter of securing
livestock and agricultural exhibits
was tossed in his lap, stated that
while it was rather late in the sea-
son to develop such projects, he
thought that a considerable num-
ber of exhibits could be produced.
"I am glad to see the fair inau-
gurated," said Laird, "and I hope
that this first attempt will prove
successful and that it will be car-
ried on in future years, since such
things as this are of great advant-
age to any county."
Further plans will be worked out
at a meeting called for next Tues-
day evening at S o'clock in the Le-
gion home, and an invitation to at-
tend is extended to anyone in Gulf
