Polio Epidemic


Emergency Drive


Opens In County


Joe Mira, County Chairman,
Appeals for More Funds
To Fight Disease

Confidence that the entire com-
munity would give whole-hearted
support to the polio epidemic emer-
gency drive was expressed yester-
day by Joe Mira, chairman of the
Gulf County Chapter of the Na-
tional Foundation for Infantile Par-
alysis, after a meeting of the local
chapter held Wednesday evening in
conjunction with representatives of
the various civic clubs of this city.
The drive, announced Wednesday
by the national foundation presi-
dent, is being held as a last resort
because in no other way can the
national foundation continue to aid
increased numbers of polio patients
without slowing up scientific re-
search and professional education.
It is the first emergency drive in
the history of the fight against
the history of the fight against polio
in the United States, and in Port
St. Joe the civic clubs have volun-
teered to take care of collections.
Also, starting tonight, a collection
will be taken up at 7:30 each night
during the week at the Port Thea-
te by members of the local Boy and
Girl Scout troops.
"Although in Port St. Joe and
Gulf county we've been spared the
- scourge of-polio this year, all of us
are eager to join in providing help
for those who are now feeling its
impact," Mira said. "So far, our
chapter has not had to spend any
money for new cases here. Our
March of Dimes funds are being

School Enrollment

Exceeds Last Year

Total of 596 Students In First Six
Grades and 240 Enrolled In
Higher Grades

Enrollment at the Port St. Joe
schools this year is slightly above
the figures for the 1948-49 term, ac-
-cording to County Superintendent
Tom Owens.
At the close of the second day of
regular classes, the records showed
that a total of 596 students were in
the first six grades, while 240 were
enrolled in high school. This com-
bined total of 836 is above the 825
mark of last term.
Late enrollees during the first
several days of school should boost
the total figure to approximately
850.
Two teacher shifts are necessary
in the first six grades of school due
to an unusually large third grade.
A total of 117 are enrolled in that
grade, while 107 are in the first
grade.

Week-end Visitors
Mrs. T. E. Parker and family had
as visitors over the week-end her
mother, Mrs. 0. L. Benton, and Mr.

Delegates Attend

Home Demonstration

Council Meeting

Gulf County Well Represented At
State Gathering Held Last
Week In Gainesville

Gulf County Home Demonstra,
tion Clubs were well represented
at the state council meeting held in
Gainesville last week by Mrs. J. T.
Land, Gulf County Council presi-
dent; Mrs. G. S. Croxton, second
vice-president of the council; Mrs.
Charlie Spears and Mrs. Arthur
Cook.
Purpose of the meeting was to
plan the home demonstration pro-
gram for 1950 throughout Florida
with each county objective in mind.
Each county gave a detailed report
of what is being done individually,
thereby exchanging ideas to help
strengthen the work. There were
approximately 250 delegates at the
session.
Each phase of home demonstra-
tion work for the 1950 program was
planned by a special committee.
Mrs. Land served on the farm and
home safety committee, and Mrs.
Croxton served as chairman of the
child care and family life commit-
tee.
The home demonstration women
were honored by Mrs. Malcolm
Byrnes, National Home Demonstra-
tion Council president, who spent
the entire week guiding the dele-
gates in planning a better program
for next year.
The state home demonstration
staff and the county home demoh-
stration agents worked closely with
the women throughout the week,
training them to become better
homemakers and to better enable
them to meet the conditions of to-
day. Delegates at the meeting repre-
sented the 12,000 club women in
the state, and there are several
times this number being reached
outside the clubs.
The home demonstration women
of Gulf county feel that this was a
most profitable week for them in-
dividually and for the county, and
desire to express their appreciation
to the home demonstration agent,
Mrs. Wilma Revell, for her untiring
efforts in making the week's train-
ing a great success.

Sales Tax Fight


Is Big Issue At


Special Session


Unless Administration Can
Muster Majority, Session
May Be Drawn Out

The extraordinary session of the
Florida legislature which opened
Wednesday will witness either the
finals or the semi-finals in the sales
tax fight which has gone under-
cover for many years.
Called by Governor Warren to
provide more revenue, the session
will be confined to tax matters un-
less he issues another call extend-
ing the limits of their operations,
or unless two-thirds of the mem-
bers of both houses (most unlikely)
take the bit in their teeth and en-
large the program themselves.
Local bills, by general consent,
may be introduced and passed with-
out hindrance. But the efforts of
one legislative group to open up the
$240,000,000 two-year appropriation
act is expected to provide the first
test of strength.
A special two-house tax commit-
tee has been holding hearings thru-
out the state and plans to submit as
a limited sales tax bill the product
of these public hearings. If the ad-
ministration and the special com-
mittee between them can muster a
majority, the session should end
soon. If not, it might drag on
indefinitely.

PROCLAMATION

Whereas, infantile paralysis is
again rampant throughout the na-
tion, striking community after
community with ruthless impar-
tiality; and,
Whereas, the National Founda-
tion for Infantile Paralysis has
thrown its full resources into the
fight against this insidious dis-
ease; and,
Whereas, the high cost of com-
bating the 1949 polio outbreaks,
plus the millions of dollars still
being expended by the national
foundation for last years patients
who require continued care and
treatment, have drained,'the or-
ganization's finances to the dan-
ger point; and,-
Whereas, it has consequently
become necessary for the na-
tional foundation to hold a dis-
aster drive for funds so that its
work of mercy may continue un-
abated,
Now, Therefore, I, J. L. Sharit,
mayor of the city of Port St. Joe,
do urge each and every resident
of the city to respond most gen-
erously to the national founda-
tion's emergency appeal during
the week of September 8 to 15,
1949; and,
I do further proclaim the week
of September 8 to 15 to be "Polio
Emergency Week" and ask al!
citizens of our community to join
in our common crusade against
infantile paralysis.

City of Port St. Joe, Fla.

Voters Name Jake


Belin As Mayor In


Tuesday's Election


Two Incumbent Commission-
ers Seeking Re-election
Returned To Office

With 677 of the city's 1200-odd
registered voters trekking to the
polls Tuesday to cast their ballots
for a mayor and two members of
the board of city commissioners,
362 of them placed an "X" opposite
the name of Jake C. Belin for mayor
and 311 expressed their preference
for Silas R. "Mickey" Stone for the
same office.
In the race for two seats on the
city commission, B. B. Conklin in
Group 1 was returned to office by
a vote of 354 to 303 for his oppon-
ent, Clifford "Windy" Tharpe, and
in Group 2, Watson Smith defeated
Franklin Chandler 385 to 287 to re-
tain his chair at the council table.
Political prognosticators had pre-
dicted a vote over the 800 mark,
with the 1200 qualified voters on
the books, but their crystal ball-
gazing fell considerably short of
the mark.
In conversation with City Clerk
Ben Dickens, Ye Ed finds that there
are some 1400 names on the regis-
tration books, but that something
like 200 of these have moved from
the city or died, and that the 1400
gives a wrong impression as to the
number of voters in the city.
While the front page is no place
"to editorialize,'w w til do so any-
how, since our editorial page went
to press Tuesday. We'd like to sug-
gest that a re-registration of voters
of the city be held, thus removing
the dead wood from the city regis-
tration books.

Bailey Says Full
School Year Slated
Florida's financial condition will
not interfere with a full school term
this year, according to Thomas D.
Bailey, state school superintendent.
He previously said a seven-months
school term, instead of the regular
nine months, was in store unless
the legislature digs up more money
for schools.
However,' said Bailey, the effect
would not be felt until next year
because counties would be obligated
to employ teachers full time as
long as money was available to
them.
Since the legislature makes two-
year appropriations, the pinch will
come in 1950-51 when, he said, the
counties would have to go in debt.

Our Country Right or Wrong


WATCH OUT FOR THOSE KIDS!
Readin', 'ritin' and arithmeticc time is here again
for the youngsters of Port St. Joe, and once again
we must increase our vigilance while driving-
especially while driving down Long Avenue
from Fifth Street to Sixteenth Street.
School time takes the child away from his
mother's apron strings for a few hours a day,
and during part of that time he is a potential
traffic accident victim unless we adults protect
him.
And right now is when drivers should be most
watchful, for with school just getting underway
many very young children are exposed for the
first time to the dangers of our streets. In spite
of careful teaching by their parents of correct
pedestrian habits, children are still immature in
their thinking, and warnings have very little
meaning to them. Training by parents is im-
portant, but we shouldn't forget that the re-
sponsibility for child safety will always lie heavier
on the shoulders of the motorist than the parents.
In 1948 about 70 children between the ages
of 5 and 14 were killed in motor vehicle acci-
dents in.Fl:,i I .i, :irI many of these deaths hap-
pened because motorists forgot to expect the
unexpected while driving near schools, play-
grounds and residential districts.
Let's not have the death of a child occur in
Port St. Joe this year. When a child's life is at
stake we can't afford the luxury of laxness.

WILLIS SWAMP

Editor The Starr:
Today I'll huddle with congress.
They is sum nice guys up there--I
don't like to see 'em bein' taken in
as suckers. Iffen I kin help I wanta
do so. But also I don't wanta be took
fer a sucker either-and by a con-
gressman.
I got in mind how them there big
munny bills is put in the hopper up
there in Washinton. The Chief
Squeeze in sum department will
say he needs 300 millyun bucks-
when all he actually wants is 200
millyun. And up will jump a con-
gressman and say "to much." So
the Big Squeeze will haw and hem
-and cult off the foney 100 millyun.
That's more like it, sez Mr. Con-
gressman and he tells the re-
porters how he done saved the na-
shun 100 millyun.
Now there is where I cum in-as
*a sucker. Even this here 200 mill-
yun-part of it my dinero-is gonna
be pored into sum quack venture
that's unneeded in the fust place,
things where the Govt. pays no
taxes.
Iffen he kin cut down a munny
budgit-enny old budgit-by 10 per
cent, a congressman is happy and
chesty, thinks he's done done sum-
thin'. Duz that make him a sucker,
to, sez Henry (my naybor). You're
catching' on, I sez.

THE LAST MILE
Herbert Hoover, the only living ex-president
of this nation, has warned that we are blissfully
driving at top speed down the back road to col-
lectivism. He said: "We are on the last mile-
you must give it thought."
Collectivism is the most insidious of all eco-
nomic diseases-it can make fatal headway be-
fore the victim knows just what is happening. It
begins with excessive taxation which, in effect,
confiscates much of the savings and earnings of
the people. And it is always advanced by appeal-
ing schemes whereby the government will as-
sume more and more responsibility for the "wel-
fare" of each individual, and more and more
power is concentrated in the grasping hands of
an expanding bureaucracy, .--
That, as Mr. Hoover said, is precisely what is
happening here. We are carrying onerous taxes
and, in spite of them, we are running huge gov-
ernmental deficits. Every effort to reduce the
cost of government, and .to do away with waste
and duplication and overlapping bureaus and
administrators, is met with fierce resistance.
Then, following'the collectiyist pattern, we are
being sold the "welfare state." If the highest of-
ficials of our government have their way, we
shall be forced to accept an enormously costly
scheme for compulsory government health in-
surance-which is a polite phrase for political
medicine. We shall have cradle-to-the-grave "so-
cial security." Individual responsibility and re-
liance will become things of the past. We shall
pay for these doubtful blessings to the tune of
tens of billions of dollars.
So we have come to the last mile. The great-
est question of the day is whether we shall have
the courage .to stop in time.


Well, the "best men" won in our city election,
and despite what a lot of our citizens may think
and say, the affairs of our city government will
be carried' on in future for the best interests of
our people just as they have in the past.

'Drain' Survey of

State's Forests To Get

Underway Soon

Is Second Phase of Comprehensive
Study of Florida's Timber
Resources

-. Start of a forest "drain" survey
in Florida by the federal and state
forest services has been announced
by the Florida Forest Service. The
drain survey- is the second phase of
a comprehensive study of Florida's
timber resources. The first, a field
inventory and analysis of standing
timber, was completed in July.
Dale Dougherty of Blountstown,
". rm forester for the forest service,
will obtain the required data in Cal-
'..houn, Gulf, Liberty and Franklin
counties.
Additional information will be
obtained by the U. S. Forest Serv-


ice by correspondence from its
fice in Gainesville, with wood tr
ing plants and the railroads ha
ling shipments.
To determine the fuel-wood di
in the state, federal foresters
sample 80 fuel-wood producers w
in selected sample areas distribu
within the state. State forest
will canvass all sawmills, ven
plants, handle plants, tie brok
open-vat treating plants and ot
buyers and users of wood in F
ida to determine the amount
wood cut from each products
1948 and to provide a directory
timber buyers in the state.
Information collected from
individual industries will not be
leased, but consolidated into cou
or state-wide totals.

East Point To Get
Plant for Extracting
Agar From Seaweed
Chemical With More Than Thou-
sand Uses Is Valuable To Food
and Medical Industries
A $75,000 plant at East Point,
across the bay from Apalachicola,
will be constructed by Florida Agar
and Products, Inc., for the extrac-
tion of agar from seaweed, together
with other chemicals yielded from
marine grasses. The plant will em-
ploy from 15 to 20 persons.
Agar is a chemical /valuable to
the medical and food industries,
and it has more than:a thousand
daily uses. The seaweed in'the shal-
low bays along the Gulf coast of
Florida is productive of a particu-
larly high grade of agar.
The weed is commonly known as
water moss and grows attached to
.oysters and rocks, in shallow or
deep water. It thrives well in heavy
,currents.
The plant will have an auxiliary
function through the installation of
an ice manufacturing unit to ser-
vice the seafood industry at East
Point, and will also provide cold
storage facilities."
Leases for the seaweed were pro-
cured from the state internal im-
provement commission and cover
areas in Bay, Gulf, Franklin, Levy
and Wakulla counties from Panama
City to Cedar Key.
Home From Trip
Mr. and Mrs. W. W. Barrier and
sons, Wade and John, returned last
week from a three weeks' trip to
Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina,
Virginia, Maryland, West Virginia,
Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Wash-
ington, D. C., and South Carolina.
They took in all points of interest
on their tour and returned home
tired and broke but with a vast sat-
Sfv.-t".i,- at having visited points- of
interest and national shrines and
monuments they had been reading
.about all their lives.
Fish Die After Being Hooked
Florida State Game and Fresh
Water Fish Commission experi-
ments show that from 75 to 95 per
cent of bass and bream hooked
deeply enough to draw blood die
within two weeks after release.


Oyster Size Statute
Defined By Cabinet
The Florida cabinet has reinter-
preted the law governing the legal
size of oysters.
The law says that oysters meas-
uring less than three inches from
hinge to mouth may not be taken.
George Vathis of Apalachicola,
state conservation supervisor, says
the hinge is so close to the mouth
that "no oyster could be large
enough."
The cabinet approved a resolu-
tion interpreting the law to mean
oysters must measure three inches
across the shell from the hinge at
the widest poiit.
The cabinet also closed St. Vin-
I cent's and Paster's oyster bars in
