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 XIII PORT ST. JOE, FLORIDA, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 7, 1949 NUMBER 2 Sharks Chalk Up 18-6 Win Over Chapman High Journey To Chipley Tonight for Third Game of Season The Sharks made good on three offensive drives to win 18 to 6 from the Chapman high grid team of Apalachicola last Friday after- noon in the Oyster City. Striking with a sudden offensive spurt, the Sharks waited only until one exchange of punts, when Frank Young, fullback, broke loose around left end for a 72-yard touchdown run. Try for point failed, as was the case on all attempts. As the first period drew to a close, Chapman began to pass and Young intercepted. one on the St. Joe 33-yard marker to set the stage for two runs by Raymond Lawrence. Then, with the second quarter just beginning, Young took the ball on the Chapman 6-yard line and scored again. In the third period the Oyster- men came to life and drove and passed from their own 35-yard line to the St. Joe six, where a fumbled ball rolled into the end zone- and was recovered by Oliver Nash for the only Apalachicola score. In the fourth period Don Vause returned a punt to the St. Joe 20- yard stripe, but a recovered fumble by the Sharks stopped this drive and then the St. Joe lads would not be denied. They made four consecu- tive first downs -and then Philip ,Chatham tossed a 30-yard pass to Gene Chism, who scored the third (Continued on page 4) ------K--4<---- . Public Thanked for Aid In Polio Drive Chairman Mira Expresses Apprecia- tion for Interest Shown In Emergency Collection Appreciation to all whose efforts and dollars contributed to the suc- cess of Gulf county's polio epidemic emergency drive was expressed yesterday by Joe Mira, chairman of the Gulf County Chapter of the Na- tional Foundation for Infantile Par- alysis. "The true thanks comes, of course, from th'e youngsters whose recovery will be speeded by the funds we have made available here during the drive," he said. The drive came to an official close last Friday, and while a con- siderable sum was raised, Mira stated that he could not announce a total, since many people sent their contributions through the lo- cal postoffice directly to "Polio." Although the drive ended offici- ally last Friday, anyone who has not yet contributed is urged by Mr. Mira to mail donations directly to 'Polio," sare of the Port St. Joe or Wewahitchka postoffice.

Gest, who gets his Star at Port Arthur, Texas, drops us a card from Goteberg, Sweden, saying: "Greetings. This is wonderful coun- try." All the printing on the card is in Swedish, and Gest probably thought we wouldn't know from whence it came, but it was no trouble, since we probably handle the Swedish language better than he does.

The high school band was rung in on the ceremonies during the af- ternoon, and members of the Ju- nior Woman's Club, acting as hos- tesses, passed out 2000 -bottles of soft drinks, ice cream and cookies. Tuesday night some 150 citizens were present in the board ro6m to see Jake Belin installed as mayor- commissioner and B. B. Conklin and' Watson Smith re--seated on the board. Only business transacted at the meeting was the assigning of various duties to the 'commission- ers by Mayor Belin. The city offices have not yet been transferred to the new structure due to the fact that all furnishings have not yet been received. So City Clerk Ben Dickens will still take your utility and tax money at his usual stand in the old city hall. Effort Being Made To Set Up National Guard Unit Here Meeting Called for Tuesday Night for Discussion j of Possibilities ,i A meeting of veterans and also young men with no previous, mili- tary experience will be held at the high school auditorium next Tues- day night at 8 o'clock for the pur- pose of hearing a discussion as to the possibility of a national guard platoon being organized here. Leonard Belin, spokesman for a group of businessmen and veterans who met recently, states there is an excellent chance of a platoon be- ing organized here. If it is, it would be connected with the 124th Infan- try Regiment, Heavy Mortar Com- pany, Apalachicola. Seems there aren't enough men in the Oyster City to bring the company there up to full strength. Captain Fred Richards, head of the Apalachicola unit, will be ,the principal speaker at the meeting and will explain details of the pro- posed setup here. City officials state that the unit may make use of the Centennial Auditorium as headquarters, which would provide a place to keep equipment as well as providing a drill floor.

JOE, GULF COUNTY, FLORIDA FRIDAY, OCTOBER 7, 1949 Governor Signs Sales Tax Bill Effective Nov. 1 Budget Commission Allows Agencies Only Part of Funds Governor Warren signed Florida's $40,000,000-a-year new tax program Into law last Friday, but the bud- get commission immediately de- clared it was 10% short of enough and, after an hour and a half closed session, announced that all agen- cies and institutions would be al- lowed only 90% of their appropria- tions for the rest of this year. Except for schools and welfare, none of the agencies will be al- lowed to pick up the money they missed by a 25% budget cut for the three-month period ending Septem- ber 30. The school fund slack between the 75% withheld July 1 and the 90% allowed for the whole year will caught up as soon after January 15 as possible. Comptroller C. M. Gay said his best estimates indicated the net proceeds from the new tax program would leave the state $24,000,000 6hort of meeting the $240,000,000 general fund appropriated for the biennium. He said if the cabinet hadn't withheld 25% from every ap- propriation in July, the state now would have had about $6,000,000 in bills it couldn't pay. Warren approved the 3% sales tax, the increased cigaret tax, the measure giving counties the seventh cent of the gasoline tax, the bill ex- empting soap and low-priced 'cas- kets from the sales tax and the $600,000 appropriation for the mo- tor. vehicle commission. The sales tax is estimated to be 'worth about $36,000,000 a year to the state. The extra cent of the cig- aret tax-which raises the state levy to five cents-is expected to bring in around $3,000,000. Cities will be allowed to keep all the cig- aret taxes collected within their borders. A large portion of the cig- aret taxes collected outside city limits will go for tuberculosis hos- pitals. All the new tax bills become ef- fective November 1. ---_--*.

Patterson, son of Mrs. Minnie Lee Patterson of this city, is at present in San Diego, Calif., preparing to embark for Ha- waii to participate in the joint army, navy and marine maneuver, "Exercise Miki," which will involve some 16,000 F,ort Lewis soldiers who will land on the island of Oahu late this month. Object of the operation, largest peacetime maneuvers in some ten- odd years, is the so-called "recap- ture" of Oahu from more than 12,- 000 aggressor soldiers, sailors and marines who will be presumed to have captured the island previously. Upon completion of the opera- tions, Pvt. Patterson will have a week to see the points of interest in Hawaii before returning to Fort Lewis with the rest of the Ninth In- fantry Regiment, 2nd Division.

Practice has been devoted mainly to a pass defense, designed to stop the effective aerial work of the Washington county eleven. Coach Marion Craig stated yes- terday that his squad is in fair shape for the game tonight, even though two starters, Frank Young, fullback, and Raymond Lawrence, halfback, were injured in the game last week. However, he believes they will play tonight. Next Friday the Sharks will jour- ney to Niceville in their fourth scheduled game.

The AP' Co., is definitely our strongest competitor they keep us hopping. But, we ere still in business And Expanding. We do it by se ling quality merchandise, buying at a dose margin and selling at CLOSER margin. The so called ",trust-busters" charge that the A&P Co. control some of the production and processing ends of the food business. As a result, they hold the cost price down on foods. WELL, WHAT'S WRONG WITH THIS-? u If A&P holds the costs down, it makes our suppliers hold their costs down to the same cop eve. They can sell cheaper, AND SO CAN WE.

The spoken word is lost; the printed word remains. Our Country Right or Wrong SHUCKS, THAT'S EASY The government owes, and sooner or later must pay to World War II veterans, about two billion dollars in surplus dividends on their war insurance. A New York Times headline on a story about this matter says: "White House To Decide Whether Money Will Go Out This Fall To Aid Business or Next Year To Influence Votes." There, mates, is a real problem. If the White House needs help with it, Congressman Rankin doubtless can come up with a quick and simple solution: Pay out four billion dollars-half this fall and half next year.-Pittsburgh Press. If Gulf county motorists would be as slow with 'their driving as they were about getting their drivers' licenses, the speeding problem here- abouts would be solved. IT'S NOT THE COST, IT'S THE CONTINUITY In advertising, as every good advertising man will tell you, the element of continuity is the big thing. The editor of The Star has found it quite difficult to convince business men in Port St. Joe that they should advertise regularly-in fact, we have given up on the matter, and just let them bring in their ads when they want to. We find that the first thing they think about is the cost, but they overlook the fact that it is more costly to miss advertising consistently. An ad now and then, when the fancy strikes, is poor business. Hammering away every week, whether it be shoe repairing, clothing, groceries, or what have you, is what keeps it in the public mind, and when the time comes for the purchase of a product or service, the name that has been ap- pearing before readers of The Star so regularly is the one that will always register. Therein lies the secret of the continuous ad- vertiser. Ask Glenn Boyles-he hasn't missed a week since he opened his store without having an advertisement in The Star. Ask Austin Hug- gins, shoe repairman par excellence, one of the small businesses in our city. It's no great mys- tery. As we have been preaching in Port St. Joe for better than twelve years: "Advertising doesn't COST-it PAYS!" An ad of the Gates City Mattress Company in Monday's Jax Times-Union caught our eye. It read: "Easy Terms. Pas As You Sleep At Qate City." They might have something there. Prob- ably all of us would like to "pass" in our sleep when it comes our time to pass on to the happy hunting grounds. The St. Joe Sharks are off to a good start in the football season, so get out and support them -and if they should drop a game or two, don't start panning them-get behind them all the more firmly and enthuse them on to victory.

JOE, FLA. a a STARDUST and MOONSHINE That man Fusmier Forbes Nel :son up at Cooper's Barber Shol .seems to be sort of a queer duckl -when it comes to babies-his own that is. Last week he sidled up to us and said, in a low and con aspirational tone of voice, "That bo3 has arrived." We remarked "So we hear." .He didn't slain us on the back, shake our hand noi -pass out a cigar. Maybe it isn't his first one-we forgot to inquire. Ii is said, by those who have had the experience, that the novelty sort ol -wears off after the first five. We haven't got to work much o01 our residence on the Dead Lakes in the past two weeks, due to a rust of business, first-of-the-month bill .making-out, and our wife desiring to spend a few days in Georgia. bul ,we hope to get around to it shortly .. Last time we were working there, our wife got somewhat irri- tated with us and chucked a ham- mer at us. Luckily (or perhaps we should say unluckily) it missed us hit the brand new lavatory in the bathroom and knocked off a chit of enamel about four inches long . Probably would have 'been a lot cheaper if she'd hit us, for aftei all, we can grow new skin, but old Mother Nature can't replace baked- on enamel, on the lavatory. And speaking of our wife (if we didn't have her to write about, this column would be rather short), she bought the last ticket to be sold on a choice cake raffled off recently by the junior class, and her name was the lucky one drawn. We buy chances on everything that comes along, but never, as far back as we can remember, have we ever won a thing. Just have to be born lucky, we guess. Mayor Joe Sharit, at a recent ses- sion of the city commission, threw ia a new word, much to the con- fusion of the remainder of the com- mission and Clerk Ben Dickens. It was "agenda." "How do you like that word," said hizzoner. "I picked that up from reading the United Nations news." TEN YEARS AGO From the Files of The Star City Purchases New F.ire Truck At a special called meeting of the city commission Tuesday, held at the request of the volunteer fire de- partment, the city board authorized the purchase of a new Ford fire truck from the American La France Company at a cost of $3275. De- livery is, expected within 60 days. Special Taxes Now Effective The new city ordinance levying taxes on cigarets, gasoline and the- ater tickets goes into effect today. Tax is one cent per pack on cig- arets, one-half cent per gallon on gasoline and two cents on 25-cent tickets and one cent on 15-cent the- ater admissions. It is estimated the levies will bring in between $7000 and $8000 to the city's coffers. A. C. Whitehead Dies A. C.

MRS. GEORGE HARPER Demonstration Council Meets The Gulf County Council of Home Demonstration Clubs met Monday at the home of Mrs. J. T. Land in Wewahitchka. Representatives of the three county clubs were pres- ent, with the Jolly Circle Club of Wewahitchka acting as hostess.
