SMITH, Editor PHONE 51 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- ELLEN'S SERVE YOURSELF LAUNDRY --- SOFT WATER -- Call 311-J for Further Information ELLEN KIRKLAND 1309 LONG AVENUE 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.

Jackson for its regular monthly business meeting and royal service program.

Interested In Lake Wales Box Plant Fifty-five Acre Site Is Chosen By Officials of Florida Fibre Box Company Plans for the location of a new industry near Lake Wales which 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. THE STAR, PORT ST.

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."

In addi- tion to tank trucks and tractors, the Gulf county unit a 1 so is equipped with a 16-foot open boat with motor. This craft is capable of carrying eight men with their hand tools into otherwise inacces- sible areas of the county. It makes possible the transportation of for- est fire fighters into the Lake Wim- ico and Apalachicola River regions, .which have had extremely destruc- tive fires in the past. According to Ranger Hardy, the rapidity with which a wild fire is attacked spells the difference between quick sup- pression and heavy damage. 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-' est service. 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.

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.

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.

JOE, GULF COUNTY, FLORIDA 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.

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.
