Roll At $2,350,000

Mayor Sharit Estimates City Mill-

One-Third

At a meeting of the city commis-
sion Tuesday night sitting as a
board of equalization, the mill of
the St. Joe Paper Company was
placed on the tax roll at $2,350,000.
Valuation of the mill on the county
tax roll is $2,483,973.
Clerk Ben Dickens had the mill
dowln at $2,384,973, but after a plea
by Harry Saunders on behalf of
the company, and discussion among
members of the board, the lower
figure was agreed upon.
Saunders, asking that the mill be
placed on the roll at not exceeding
$2,000,000, stated that he felt that
the valuation turned in to the
county was fair as compared with
similar mills in Florida. He pointed
out that it could have been ar-

Miss Maxie Gem Brown and Blanchard Smith
United In Marriage At Twilight Ceremony


The marriage of Miss Maxie Gem
Brown, daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Charles A. Brown, and Charles
Blanchard Smith, son of Mr. and
Mrs. B. H. Smith, was solemnized
Thursday of last week at twilight
in the garden of the bride's home,
with Rev. Loyd Tubb officiating.
The garden was divided midway
with a circular trellis entwined
with southern smilax and white
roses, centered by an improvised
altar over which was erected a can-
opied arch. The piano, to the left
among the azaela foliage, and the
family seated at the right, formed
an aisle through which the bridal
party approached the altar. The
scene was spotlighted with soft
blue and white lights.
The wedding music was rendered
by Mrs. Max Kilbourn, maternal
grandmother of the bride, and Miss
Pat Laney sang "0 Promise Me,"
"My Hero" and "Love's Old Sweet
song." The Wedding March from
Lohengrin was playedas s a proces-
sional. Concluding the marriage
ceremony Miss Mary Lenohr Brown,
maid of honor and sister of the
bride, sweetly sang "The Lord's
Prayer," which was followed by
Mendelssohn's Recessional.
The bride was given in marriage
by her father, and the father of
the groom served as best man. The
ushers were William Howell and
Ellis Stevens.
The maid of honor wore a gown
of azure taffeta, fashioned with slen-
der fitted bodice and deep shoulder
neckline. The double puffed sleeves
were ornamented with a dividing
row of pastel flowers, and the full
circular skirt was caught up in a
bustle effect at the back, featuring
the same puff flower arrangement
as the sleeves.
The junior bridesmaid, Miss Eliza-
beth Ann Brown, youngest sister of
the bride, was identically gowned.
Both wore azure taffeta halo bon-
nets ornamented with pastel flow-
ers, and each carried lace-edged
old-fashioned bouquets of blue and
white carnations tied with narrow
streamers of blue and white or-
ganza.
The bride selected a Rolando
bridal gown of shimmering white
duchess satin, styled with semi-
princess lines fashioned with a
transparent yoke outlined with a
ruffle of Chantilly lace, forming a
high neckline. The back of the bod-
ice was lined with small satin-cov-
ered buttons, and the sleeves, fas-
tened with satin-covered buttons,
terminated in points over her hands.
The skirt was designed of four cir-
cular panels joined together with
wide inserts of Chantilly lace, the
same lace forimiig a modified
ruffle at the hemline in front and
extending around the back of the
skirt, which fell into a court train.
The fingertip bridal veil of illusion
was fastened to a queen's crown of
orange blossoms made of seed
pearls. Her bouquet was of white
gladioli and white tuberoses tied
with white satin ribbon. She car-
ried an heirloom lace handkerchief
belonging to Miss Ella Lovett, pa-

ternal cousin of the bride,the same
handkerchief that had been carried
by the bride's mother at her wed-
ding.
The bride's mother wore a gown
of brown crepe remain designed
with figured sprays in chartreuse
and russet. It was fashioned with
high neckline and draped skirt.
With this she wore a single strand
of tied pearls. Her accessories were
brown and her corsage was yellow
chrysanthemums tied with gold and
russet ribbons.
The bridegroom's mother wore a
black crepe dress featuring a light
pink yokeline. With this she wore
black accessories and her corsage
was of pink carnations tied with
silver ribbon.
A reception followed the wedding
ceremony, and those serving were
the Misses Martha Lovett, cousin
of the bride. Sarah Ceva Philyaw,
Memorie Louise Porter, Betty Otto
Anderson, Hazel Burnette, Peggy
Hardy, Betty Doris Dees and Irene
Wilder. Little Miss Ida Ethel Kil-
bourn, cousin of the bride, kept the
bride's book.
The bride's table was covered
with an Italian cutwork cloth over-
laid with rayon net edged in white
satin. A low arrangement of white
gladoli, tuberosess and asters bor-
dered with a double rushing of


white net, centered the table. Crys-
tal candelabar holding white tapers
tied with white satin ribbon and
tuberoses, were at either side of the
centerpiece. The bride's cake, which
was cut by the bride and groom,
was embossed with white roses and
the three tiers were topped with a
miniature replica of the bridal party.
Frozen punch bowls, with sprays of
white gladoli tied with blue illusion
frozen into the ice, were arranged
at each side of the table.
The bride is a graduate of the
Port St. Joe high school and at-
tended Virginia Intermont College,
while the groom is also a graduate
of the local high school and is now
employed by the St. Joe Paper Com-
pany.
After a short wedding trip, the
young couple will make their home
in this city.
Several hundred guests attended
the wedding and reception. Besides
local friends, many came from Tal-
lahassee, Apalachicola, Carrabelle,
Lynn Haven and Panama City.

The thing to ask yourself is what

then obviously noting will be gained
by keeping him out of school-ex-

Plans for the location of a new

will bring an annual payroll of
around $250,000 were announced
Thursday of last week by Mayor J.
D. McNair following conversations
with officials of the Florida Fibre
Box Company of Sarasota.
He stated that the company, work-
ing closely with the St. Joe Paper
Company, is planning a large cor-
rugated box factory on a 55-acre
tract on a highway and railroad
front about five miles west of Lake
Wales.
"The new plant will be the most
modern factory of its type," accord-
ing to McNair. "It will employ all
the latest developments and tech-
niques for the production of corru-
gated containers of all types.
"They will serve the citrus indus-
try with cartons for single-strength
canned citrus, canned concentrates
and all types of 'fresh fruit pack-
ages," he continued.

Fiery Crosses

Burn In Nearby

Communities

Liberty School Head Singled
Out; Others Flare In
Gadsden County

According to exchanges coming
to the desk of The Star, the KKK
-or a reasonable facsimilie there-
of-has been burning fiery crosses
of warning in nearby counties.
The following story appeared in
Friday's Blountstown Record:
"Last Tuesday night at 11:30 two
automobiles pulled up in front of
the home of County Superintendent
of Public Insti-uction Olin Shuler
of Bristol. Several men got out of
the cars, placed a crude cross,
soaked with gasoline, in a bucket
and set it on fire. They then re-en-
tered their cars and drove speedily
off.
"Witnessing the performance were
Billy Brown and Jimmy Cook, both
seniors at Bristol high school. Ac-
cording to the boys the men were
not masked, but they did not recog-
nize any of them nor the cars they
were in.
"Shuler and his family were asleep
at the time, but a crowd soon gath-
ered, and Shuler was awakened. He
rushed out into his front yard with
a double-barrelled shotgun, seized
the cross and dashed it to pieces.
Sheriff's deputies appeared on the
scene in a few minutes, but they
had little to go on, for none of the
men had been identified and all
had made their getaway."
And from the Chattahoochee Val-
ley News comes this story:
"Four more crosses were burned
last week by the Southern Klan on
Thursday, Friday and Saturday
night. A spokesman for the Klan
said last week's activities concluded
a week of cross-burning in, protest


THE STAR, PORT ST. JOE, GULF COUNTY, FLORIDA


of 'Paul Robeson and all commun-
ists.'
"On Thursday night a cross, of
approximately the same dimensions
as the first three, was burned just
to the right of the Atlantic Coast
Line workshop. Friday night a cross
was burned near the Chattahoochee
colored school, and Saturday night
two larger crosses were burned in
the Bonnie Hill section.
"The Klan spokesman said that a
large number of members partici-
pated in Saturday night's activities.
He said that orders for burning the
crosses last week came from high
authorities in the organization. He
said no more will be burned until
conditions warrant it."

of carrying eight men with their

sible areas of the county. It makes
possible the transportation of for-

Ranger Hardy, the rapidity with
which a wild fire is attacked spells
the difference between quick sup-

Prior to July 1, only a part of
Gulf county had been protected
through a group unit, which is com-
posed of a number of landowners
who have fire protection on their
lands in co-operation with the for-'

The value of organized forest fire
protection may be seen from com-
parative figures on fire control for
1948. Last year 1.4 per cent of the
protected areas burned, but about
17 per cent of the unprotected areas
burned.

Once considered inferior, pecky
cypress is now among the highest
priced lumber on the market.

Our Country Right or Wrong


CARE OF WOODLANDS

The recent three-day conference held in Pen-
sacola by woodland management chiefs and nur-
serymen of nine southeastern states may have
far-reaching effect upon growth of industry in
the South.
These men, who are trained to preserve the
forests of this great area so that they will con-
tinue to produce annual crops of wood to feed
-the pulp and paper mills, meet lumber needs,
supply naval stores and furnish habitat for wild
life, are of supreme importance to the future of'
the South.
Through fire control and reforestation, Florida
in a, few short years, has curbed much'of the de-
struction that annually visits our wooded lands.
Gulf county is indeed lucky to have an integrated
forest fire control unit, and we urge everyone to
go to the headquarters station at White City
:next Wednesday afternoon to see a demonstra-
tion of the latest forest fire fighting equipment.
Installations like this are a step in the right di-

Mill Employes Protest Street Tax
A special meeting of the city com-
mission was held Monday night to
.consider a paper presented by em-
ployes of the St. Joe Paper Com-
pany pledging not to pay the $2.00
.city street tax. The paper mill
group gave as their reasons for re-
fusing to pay the tax the fact that
living expenses here are too high
compared with wages, that rentals
are out of line, and that they felt
when these matters are taken into
consideration they should not be
assessed extra taxes, as their wages
would not allow it and it would
work a hardship on them. The mat-
ter was held over for further con-
sideration by the commission.

reaction, but the task is a huge one, and much
remains to be done. We are far from bringing
annual increment of wood to meet needs, yet on
this increment depend almost all of the import-
ant industries of our area.


SEVENTY CENTS FOR CIGARETS
If you buy a pack of cigarets in England, they
will cost you about 70 cents. A glass of beer in-
volves an outlay of 30 cents or so. If you're lucky
enough to be able to find bacon or butter, the
'price tag will stagger you. So it is with every-
thing-save for the barest necessities, such as
bread and turnips, and cheap grades of clothing
and other manufactured goods.
The reason is that the British government es-
tablishes the price for which goods may be sold.
There is no competition as we understand the
word in this country. There is no need for the
producer or the retailers to try to do a better job
than the next man, and to sell cheaper, or to of-
fer a better quality, or to work at other con-
' sumer inducements. In a controlled economy, the
political bosses make the decisions, and the rest
of the people can choose between liking it and
lumping it.
The British government has established high
prices on a long list of items because it wants to
make a tremendous profit-which it does. In a
free economy, by contrast, the man who tries to
gain such a profit is hell-bent for bankruptcy, !
His business will simply go to other manufac-
turers or, in the case of retailing, to other stores.
No nation 'has ever had abundance-save for
the inner few-under a controlled economy. All
it gets is more and more scarcity.


In some ways the modern man is very similar
to the primitive man. If his women folk talk too
much, he goes to his club, while his ancestor
just reached for it.


Keep smiling-nothing is as bad as it seems.


Bear Hunts Set

In State Forests

First Three-Day Hunt In Apalachi-
cola Forest Scheduled for
October 19-21

Four three-day bear hunts will be
staged in the Osceola and Apalachi-
cola National Forests this year, ac-
cording to Coleman Newman, state
game and fresh water fish commis-
sion director.
Newman said the first three-day
hunt period has been set for Octo-
ber 5-7 in the Osceola, and October
19-21 in the Apalachicola forest.
Shooting hours will be a half hour
before sunrise to sunset.
Special bear hunting permits will
be issued to parties of at least 10
hunters-none to individuals. One
party at a time will be permitted to
hunt, with opening days scheduled
for October 5, 12, 19 and 26 in the
Osceola forest and October 19, 26
and November 2 and 9 in the Ap-
alachicola forest.
Party applications should be sent
to the Apalachicola district ranger
at Wilma, and the Osceola district
manager at Lake City. Applications
should contain the names of the in-
dividual party members, their ad-
dresses, the name of the party chief
and a $50 money order for a per-
mit fee.
Group leaders will be permitted
to specify their hunting date choice,
but in case of conflict, definite
dates will be determined by lot.
The bear hunts are staged jointly
by the United States Forest Serv-
.ce and the state game and fresh
water fish commission.

side the city limits, but that at the
request of citizens of the town it
was built in its present location.
Mayor J. L. Sharit stated that he
felt a $2,000,000 assessment of the
mill was fair and just. Commis-
sioner B. B. Conklin, disagreeing,
said that he felt it would be emi-
nently unfair if the mill be assessed
by the city for less than the county
valuation and that the mill go on
the rolls at $2,350,000. Upon vote
of the commission, the motion was
unanimously carried.
When asked what the assessed
valuation of property in the .city
was last year, Mayor Sharit stated
that it was $1,740,000, and with the
mill on the rolls for a total assessed
valuation of $4,090,000, he was of
the opinion that the present millage
could be reduced about one-third.
Approximately 35 citizens were
present at the meeting, several of
them taking part in thje discussion
on the mill assessment and a num-
ber questioning valuation of their
property as placed on the city's
books.
