THE STAR IS THE OFFICIAL NEWSPAPER FOR GULF COUNTY THE STAR "TRADE AT HOME" SPEND YOUR MONEY WITH LOCAL MERCHANTS AND GET ANOTHER SHOT AT IT "Port St. Joe The Outlet Port for the Apalachicola-Chattahoochee Valley" VOLUME XII PORT ST. JOE, FLORIDA, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, 1949 NUMBER 50 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 (Continued on page 8) 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. and Mrs. W. A. Benton of Tallahas- see, and Mr. and Mrs. Michael Namynamik of Panama City. ----- -- Return From Wedding Mrs. Quincy Hardy, Mr. and Mrs. P. G. Hart, Curtis Hart and Mrs. A. B. Rhames returned Monday from Greensboro, N. C., where they at- tended the wedding of Miss Peggy Hart and Amos Rhames. 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. RECENT HURRICANE IN NEWSREEL AT THEATER Manager Mac of the Port Theater calls particular attention of theater- goers to the Monday and Tuesday show, when the newsreel will carry pictures of the recent hurricane that hit the east coast of Florida.

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. -----K---- ... JAKE BELIN NAMED SALES HEAD FOR ST. JOE PAPER An announcement from the St. Joe Paper Company states that J. C. Belin has been appointed sales manager, as of September 3, with offices in this city. According to the release, Jake will have full responsibility for the sale of the mill output. THERE AIN'T NO NEWS We're positively ashamed of this issue of The Star, but it seems that everybody behaved themselves over the Labor Day week-end, doing not a noteworthy thing in the way of exciting news.

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.

Mrs. Lowery was accompanied home by her daughter and two nieces, Miss Judy Barton and Mrs. Carl Moltey, who spent the Labor Day week-end here. --K- Visiting Wife and Mother Ernie Moore, student at Alabama Polytechnic Institute, Auburn, Ala., arrived here last week for a vaca- tion of several weeks with his wife and her mother.

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.

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. THE LOW DOWN ----- from ----- 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).

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.

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.

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.

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.
