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.

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. similar, dams and experiments in THE LOW DOWN socialism, to the hiest bidder.

OCTOBER 14.1949 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.

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.
