$1,125,000 Harbor

Project for St. Joe Bay

Would Provide 37-Foot Entrance
Channel 500 Feet Wide and
Deeper Harboi- Channels

A favorable report on the pend-
ing proposition for improvement of
St. Josephs Bay has been forwarded
by the district and division engi-
neers to the chief of engineers for
further action, according to word
received yesterday from Congress-
man Bob Sikes.
This report is favorable in that
the reporting officers recommend
that the existing federal project for
our harbor be modified to provide
for an entrance channel 37 feet in
depth and 500 feet wide at its outer
end, diminishing progressively in
width to 400 feet at the first bend,
thence a constant width of 400 feet
to the mouth of St. Josephs Bay; a
north channel in the bay 35 feet in
depth and 300 feet wide, and a har-
bor channel in the turning basin 100
feet from and parallel to the dock
35 feet deep and 250 feet wide, all
at an estimated first cost to the
Corps of Engineers of $1,125,000,
provided that local interests fur-
nish, free of cost to the United
States, when and as required, all
spoil disposal areas necessary for
construction and maintenance of
the modified project, hold and save
the United States free from all dam-
ages that may result from the im-
provement and its subsequent main-
tenance, and furnish assurances sat-
isfactory to the secretary of the
army that they will provide and
maintain adequate depths between
the dock and the edge of the pro-
posed channel as may be required
by shipping.

Haul of 15,000 Bream
And Shelicrackers

You fishermen-how would you
like to have 15,000 bream and
shellcrackers in your boat at one
time?
Well, Carol Warner-,and Henry
Geddie can boast of that fact.
On Thursday afternoon of last
week, Sam Britt and Wilke Carr
of the state fresh water fish and
game department brought that
number of fingerlings into town
from the Holt hatchery in a spe-
cially designed truck, and Ged-
die and Warner loaded the tanks
into their speedboats at the Ken-
ney landing on the canal and
sped their burden to Lake Wim-
ico in 12 minutes, where the fish
were "planted" at various points.
Game Warden Allen LeGrone was
on hand to see that the finger-
lings got a good home.

City Will Enact Law

For New Cigaret Levy

Estimated Five-Cents-Per-Pack Tax
Will Bring In Approximately
$20,000 Yearly

In order that the city of Port St
Joe may benefit under the new
state cigaret tax law which levies
a tax of five cents per pack on all
cigarets sold in the state, the city
commissioners at their meeting
next Tuesday night will pass an or-
dinance complying with the new
law and abolishing the present one-
cent-per-pack tax which the city
has been collecting for some years
past. A copy of the ordinance will
be filed with the state comptroller.
City Clerk Ben Dickens estimates
the yearly take within the city
limits will come to something like
$20,000, as the present one-cent tax
brings in about $4000 a year to the
city's coffers.
Under the law, cities mist use

Wesleyan Service Guild
To Hear Talk On Japan
The Wesleyan Service Guild met
Thursday of last week at the Flor-
ida Power office with the president,
Dot -Craig, presiding. During the
business session it was decided the
regular meeting dates would be
changed to the second and fourth
Tuesday of each month, with an
exception made this month, when
the- meeting will be held October
20, if Miss Enid Mathison can meet
with the Guild, at that time and
give a talk oni Japan.
Margaret Smith gave a report on
the district Guild meeting held in
Bonifay on October 2, which was
attended by five members of the lo-
cal organization. A motion was also
adopted at this time that the St.
Joe Guild join with other Guilds in
the district in adopting a Japanese
war orphan. It was also decided not
to take the planned study on China
but to change to this year's study,
which is on Japan.
The meeting was dismissed with
prayer by Mrs. A. S. Chason, after
iN ich delicious refreshments were
served to the 15 members present
by the hostess and Mrs. Hallmark.

JUNIOR BIBLE CLUB
IN FIRST MEETING
Eighteen were present at the first
meeting of the Junior Bible Club at
the Presbyterian Church last Fri-
day afternoon.
After singing choruses, hearing
the story of creation, and memoriz-
ing Genesis 1:27, which tells us
that God made man in His own im-
age, the service closed with sen-
tence prayers by several members
and the pastor, Rev., S. J. Allen.
Following the meeting, games
and refreshments were enjoyed by
all present.

ALL ROADS WILL LEAD TO ST. JOE
All roads will lead to Port St. Joe next week
as the First Annual Gulf County Fair holds the
limelight from Monday through Saturday.
The stage is being set and the success or fail-
ure of the enterprise depends upon the people of
Gulf county-those who enter exhibits and those
who come to look at the exhibits. Upon the suc-
cess of this first fair for the county depends the
success of future fairs. If we all work together
to make this first one a success, each succeeding
one will be better, as we learn from experience
just how to go about staging such an event.
The job of organizing and setting up this fair
has not been an easy one. It has required much
painstaking planning on the part of a handful of
patriotic workers, and the liberality of materials
and cash on the part of many more.
We urge everyone to turn out next week-not
just for one day, or two days, but as many times
:as you can-and make this fair the success those
who have worked so hard hope it will be.

NOT BY BREAD ALONE
Each year, during the third week in October,
National Bible Week is observed. The 1949 ob-
servance will run from October 17 to 23.
The week is designed to again focus attention
on those basic principles of Christianity which
much of the civilized world is supposed to live
by-and which are so widely and tragically vio-
lated. Here in the United States, to say nothing
of other nations, we have little to pride ourselves
upon as Christians. We have the highest rate of
crime and delinquency in our history three
times as many people are incarcerated in penal
institutions as are attending universities and col-
leges. Eleven out of twelve young people are
not active church members. Over 8,000,000 peo-
ple are under treatment for mental disorders.
Religions and morals are often openly ridiculed,
and totalitarian principles, which are directly op-
posed to Christianity and all the other great re-
ligions as well, are advocated and taught. There
has never been a time when so much cheap and
tawdry entertainment-in books and magazines,
and on the radio, stage and screen-was offered
for sale, and it has a huge, audience. Racial and
class hatreds are rampant.'
Looking at the international scene, it is clear
that the failure to live up to the basic ideals of
Christitnity has led to misery and despair for
millions, to the enslavement of once-free peo-
ples, to a cold war which is absorbing more and
more of our energies, our thoughts, our resources.
The world is moving swiftly toward a cynical
materialism which may destroy it unless the
trend is checked.
At a time like this, National Bible Week has a
vast significance. In the great olt phrase, "Man
cannot live by bread alone."

Christmas is just around the corner, and if you
haven't ordered your "personalized" Christmas
cards, you'd better drop in at The Star office to-
day, make your selection and avoid the rush.

Plans Are Being

Formulated To

Collect Sales Tax

To Be Administered Through
Regional Offices Collect-
ing Other Store Taxes

The offices of Comptroller C. M.
Gay in Tallahassee are humming as
plans and regulations for starting
Florida's new sales tax take shape.
Without increasing his present of-
fice staff, the comptroller is pre-
paring to administer the tax collec-
tion through regional offices al-
ready established for collection of
other store taxes.
Regulations are now being pre-
pared for the start of the tax No-
vember 1. Also, on that date, the
comptroller and the state beverage
director begin the new deal for the
cigaret tax, with cities getting what
is collected within their borders,
and the remainder going to the
state for tuberculosis hospitals.
The proceeds ($6,000,000-odd) of
the seventh cent of gasoline tax
will be taken from the general fund
and. the schools and sent to the
counties for construction of roads
and bridges.
The comptroller has expressed
grave concern that the state may
not remain solvent through this
winter because of the uncertainty
of the sales tax and the withdrawal
of the cigaret and gas taxes from
state purposes.

Attend Church Meeting
Rev. S. J. Allen of the local Pres-
byterian Church and Rev. Billy
Daniel of the Wewahitchka Presby-

Sharks Drop Game
To Chipley 13 To 7
Play Golden Eagles In Niceville To-
night and Meet Bay High
Juniors Next Friday
The St. Joe Sharks lost their first
grid game of the season last Friday
in Chipley when they lost out to the
Tigers by a 13-7 score in a hard-
fought game. The lone score was
made on a 15-yard pass by Childers
to Frank Young in the end zone.
The Sharks are scheduled to play
the Golden Eagles in Niceville to-
night in what promises to be an in-
teresting game. After their loss to
Chipley, the local squad has been
put through some stiff practice ses-
sions by Coach Marion Craig.
The Eagles have averaged over
25 points per game so far this sea-
son and will be favored to whip St.
Joe, but a determined team of
Sharks will be out to upset the dope
just as they upset Quincy.
Next Friday night, October 21,
the Bay high junior varsity team
from Panama City will play the
Sharks here on Centennial Field .at
8 o'clock.

GUARD UNIT


(Continued from page 1)
our national defense, was that the
men may attend service schools of
their own choice, such as a radio
school, armorer's school or any
other school of instruction.
He further pointed out thatmem-
bers of the national guard would
not be called for military training
under the present selective service
law, since the national guard is a
component part of the national de-
fense picture. He also pointed out
that a check for $40 or $50 every
three months (the guard receives
its pay quarterly) comes in mighty
handy at times.
After Sergeant Little had ex-
plained the pension and retirement
system set up by the guard, Cap-
tain Richards concluded the meet-
ing by stating that "we would wel-
come Port St. Joe in coming into
our unit, not only to help Apalachi-,
cola, but to help St. Joe."
Physical exeminations, free of
cost, will be given Monday night at
7 o'clock in the Gulf County Health
Unit by Dr. Perry Bird for any men
desiring to sign up for the St. Joe
unit, and those who sign will be
sworn in next Thursday night at 8
o'clock in the school auditorium.
Drill nights at the Centennial Au-
ditorium will be Thursday of each
week, drill lasting from 8 to 10
o'clock. Uniforms, equipment and
weapons will be furnished to all
guardsmen. Age limit is 17 to 34.
