Speakers At Apalachicola 'Harbor
Day' Event See New Era of
Industrial Development

Speakers at the Harbor Day cele-
bration Tuesday in Apalachicola
predicted a new era of industrial
development for central and west
Florida when the $135,659,000 Apa-
lachicola-Chattahoochee-Flint rivers
waterway project is completed.
U. S. Senator Claude Pepper said
it "will mean immense progress
and prosperity for the Apalachicola
River area in Florida and for the
areas along the Flint and Chatta-
hoochee Rivers in Georgia and Ala-
bama."
He listed the advantages of the
huge waterway project, which will
also be of considerable benefit to
Port St. Joe with its fine natural
harbor which is connected to the
Apalachicola River by the' intra-
coastal canal, as:
1. Vast quantities of cheap elec-'
trical power to stimulate industrial
development and provide more jobs.
2. Flood control to improve agri-
cultural production along the three
rivers.
3. A heavy volume of commerce
for the West Florida Gulf coast.
"A new day is dawning for West
Florida," he said. "A new industrial
opportunity is opening up, and a
better and a more prosperous life
is beckoning to the people."
Representative .ob. Silegs, stated
that the--Aork to build dams, the
first of which is the Jim Woodruff
Dam, already under construction,
and develop the natural resources
of the area "is the greatest water-
way development of the southeast."


National Kids' Day

Will Be Observed

Observance In Port St. Joe Being
Sponsored By Kiwanis
Club

Port St. Joe yesterday joined the
parade of cities across the nation
that will observe National Kids'
Day, Saturday, November 19.
Sponsored locally by the Kiwanis
Club, the observance is designed
primarily to focus public attention
on underprivileged boys and girls,
and to help provide educational,
medical and recreational facilities
for the less fortunate youth of the
community. More than 3000 Ki-
wanis clubs in the United States
and Canada are scheduled to set
the program in motion on Novem-
ber 19.
"Plans for local observance are
fast nearing completion," said John
Blount, president of the club. "They
are being formulated to carry out
as far as possible the real purpose

Boyles Goes All Out
For Men Customers

Ever since the Boyles Depart-
ment Store started in business, ad-
vertisements of the firm have been
slanted toward the ladies, with an
occasional item thrown in an odd
corner for the men.
This week, however, Glenn has
gone all-out for the men, and so
turn to page three of this issue of

Residents of St. Joe



In Favor of Keeping


Doodlegug On Run


Believe Proposed Discontinuance By Apalachicola North-
ern of Mail and Express Service By Rail
Would Affect City Adversely


Following announcement in The Star three weeks ago that the
Apalachicola Northern Railroad Company had petitioned the Flor-
ida Railroad and Public Utilities Commission for permission to
discontinue operation of the "Doodlebug" between this city and
Chattahoochee due to the fact that its operation over the past five
years had resulted in a continually-mounting deficit, residents and
business men of the city, have, in the majority of cases, decided
that such action would be detrimental to the welfare of Port St.
Joe, particularly in regard to mail and express service, since dis-
continuance of the train would automatically eliminate these two
essential services.

structor in first aid. Some 50 indi-
viduals are enrolled for the course,

day nights at 8 o'clock in the high
school building. The course will
end on Wednesday night, Decem-
ber 14, when badges and certifi-
cates will be awarded to all com-
pleting the course.
Simpson states that the course
requires a total of 11 hours of ac-
tual instruction which will be given
for five nights, with slightly more
than two hours of study and dem-
onstrations at each meeting.

Resident of Paraguay
Speaks At High School

Mrs. A. 0. Bradford, a resident
of Ascuncion, Paraguay, for the
past three years, where her hus-
band is an attache to the air mis-
sion of the Paraguayan govern-
ment, was guest speaker at the
weekly assembly of the Port St.
Joe high school Wednesday. Mrs.
Bradford is here on a visit to her
parents, Dr. and Mrs. S. B. Strong.
Relating the various customs, ac-
tivities, etc., of the people in com-
parison to the people of the United
States, Mrs. Bradford's talk proved
to be of great interest to the stu-
dentbody. She also sang two songs
in the native Indian dialect of the
people of Paraguay.

Admitted To Hospital
Mrs. Tiny Jones was admitted to
the municipal hospital Wednesday
for treatment.

In Pensacola Sunday


-tion by the A. N., the editor of
The Star this week contacted a
number of representative busi-
ness men in regard to the mat-

herewith:
Postmaster H. A. Drake: "If the
train service is discontinued and
mighty good arrangements are not
made for handling the mail and
parcel post. weil '.4, 9. -t. aliv iso-
lated. If it is necessary to discon-'
tinue operation.of the 'Doodlebug,'
I'd like to see the A. N. at least put
a combination express and mail car
on the freight train.
"If a motorized highway postoffice
were run in here, we'd lose our
present fast connections to the
north through' Climax and Thomas-
ville, Ga., and Montgomery, Ala.,
all of which are key points in mail
distribution in this section."
John Robert Smith: "I'd like to
see a 'mixed train' if it is neces-
sary to discontinue the 'Doodlebug.'
Ninety percent of the merchandise
I sell comes by express and I get
such good service that I do not
have to carry an excessively large
stock, which would be the case if
express came in by truck, as it
probably would require a day or
two longer to receive orders."
R. Glenn Boyles: "I'm against dis-
continuing the train service, as I
believe it would make our transpor-
tation problem more complicated
and service on express much less
satisfactory."
Wayne Buttram: "I believe it will
hurt the city in that it will hinder
our mail and express services and
will also keep some people in the
backwoods from having an easy
way to come into town and return
home. It is stated that the passen-
ger traffic has been falling off, but
I believe if the A. N. would put on

first six days of the season will be
open to hunting, with Mondays,
Tuesday and Fridays closed there-
after.
Throughout the state the deer
season ends January 5, and turkey
hunting will close February 1, as
will the season on quail and squir-
rel. Deer and turkey hunting wiXl
be banned in Alachua, Bradford,
Clay, Hardee, Manatee, Sarasota

Young Democrats
Will Help Pepper
Sanders Named President of Or-
ganization On Pledge To
Support Claude
The Young Democratic Club of
Florida has cast its lot with Sena-
tor Claude Pepper in his forthcom-
ing senatorial race in which Repre-
sentative George Smathers of Mi-
ami is mentioned as a possible op-
ponent.
Smathers addressed the club re-
cently, which was holding its first
meeting in two years, at Orlando,
but made no mention of whether he
will actually seek Pepper's sena-
torial toga, as recently rumored. In-
stead, .he spoke in praise of the
Democratic party's program of
peace, prosperity and progress and
warned against expanding govern-
ment power.
James Sanders of Jacksonville
gained the presidency on his pledge
to support Pepper for the senate in
the 1950 elections. He won by a
vote of 42 to 39 over William Thom-
asello of Fort Meade, who was
aligned with a faction pledged to
support Smathers against Pepper.

Public Opinion May


Remove 'Teen Age


Drivers From Roads


Group Has Higher Accident
Rate Than Any
Other

"The years of supreme--and dan-
gerous-confidence."
Thus Director H. N. Kirkman of
the Florida Department of Public
Safety describes the 'teens and
early 20's when, based upon miles
driven, the drivers have the highest
accident rate of any group.
'"Teen-age drivers," said Kirk-
man, "have been under an increas-
ing barrage of criticism during the
past few years-criticism which, in


the face of the evidence, seems jus-
tified.
"At no time in life does one have
greater, misguided confidence in
his skill, ability and luck than dur-
ing the 'teens," he said. "And it is
this notion that contributes to the
death of about 70 young persons in
Florida annually. Only about 5% of
our drivers are in the 'teen-age
group, and yet this same group is
involved in over 8% of all our acci-
dents. In the 15 to 24-year-old class,
motor vehicle deaths in 1948 were
56% of the accidental death toll for
this age group-a percentage that
statisticians call 'significant,' and
that officials call 'staggering'."
Kirkman pointed out that many
insurance companies, in view of
the rising accident rate among the
young. drivers, have upped their
rates on cars that will be driven oc-
casionally by 'teen-agers. Some
states, Florida included, have also


tried to combat this tendency by
putting the blame squarely on the
shoulders of the parents and mak-
ing them liable for the action of
their children when they are in-


Perry Is Worried

Over U.S. Threat

Fears He May Be Subject of Ac-
volved in accidents or are appre-
hended driving without a license, tion Based On "Monopoly


"If the present trend continues,"
Kirkman said, "safe as well as
careless 'teen-age drivers are going
to get a smearing that will result in
their banishment from the road by
public opinion. By no means are all
young drivers reckless it's just
another case of the minority ruin-
ing a good thing for the majority.
The responsibility for erasing this
stigman on the reputation of young
drivers lies squarely on their own
shoulders and on the shoulders of
their parents."


The northern lights have been
measured at least 600 miles above

of the Press"


Reports from Jacksonville are
that John H. Perry, owner of a con-
siderable string of daily and weekly
newspapers and radio stations in
Florida, is somewhat worried over
the possibility that he may be the
subject of a federal action based on
a "monopoly of the press" theory.
The thing that upset Perry, ac-
cording to ;reports, was a remark
made recently by Attorney General
J. Howard McGrath,, speaking- be-
fore the National Press Club in
Washington, D. C., who said: "Mon-
opolistic tendencies have made it
impossible in a city of 200,000 to


start a newspaper. What does this
mean to freedom of the press?"
Perry, who is still in the market
for live Florida weeklies, brags in
interviews that he uses them po-
litically.
During recent presidential elec-
tions, Perry papers were loaded
with Republican propaganda, and it
is said that Perry had been hope-
ful of ending his active days as a
foreign ambassador had Thomas E.
Dewey been elected.
His- present chief political aim is
said to be unseating U. S. Senator
Claude Pepper and seating "my
boy, Smathers." He apparently is
seeking to recoup from his defeats
in the presidential and guberna-
torial arenas in recent months.

State Forest Service To

Plow Some 8000 Miles

of Protective Fire Lines

Work Being Done for Unprotected
Forests Began In August and
Will End Next March


Protective fire lines for Florida's
unprotected forests will be plowed
a distance equal to one-third around
the world-or more than 8000 miles
-this winter.
Owen R. Douglass, fire control
chief for the Florida Forest Ser
vice, says that the state agency ex
pects to do that much fire-line plow-
ing for private landowners by next
March. The plowing began late in
August.
Protective fire lines have been
important in combatting wild fires,
but improved techniques are mak-


ing them less. important in areas the furrow halting or hampering its
under organized fire protection. spread.
Twelve heavy tractors are used However, the forest service fore-
i sees a continued need for some
to pull two- and four-disc plows fire-line plowing even though the


which turn eight to ten-foot fur-
rows which are generally effective
barriers to the spread of ground
fires. A tractor and plow unit can
average 20 miles of fire lines a day,
but some have made as many as 30
miles in a day.
The 8000-mile total expected to
be plowed this year is well under
that plowed some years back. Ex-
tension of organized forest fire pro-
tection, such as we have in Gulf
county, has caused this. In county
and group unit fire control areas
the standard equipment includes
tractors and plows which are used
in suppression rather than preven-
tion of fires. Less plowing is re-
,uired by doing this. In suppressing
the fires, the tractor operator plows
around the head of the fire, with


entire state might be placed under
organized forest fire protection.
Some inaccessible areas or areas
covered by dense "rough" would be
encircled by plowed fire-lines' in
the hope of keeping fires either in
or out.

Our Country Right or Wrong

WHY ALL THE SECRECY?
How many,,_f you readers knew that a school
election was to be held last Tuesday at which,
three trustees were to be elected for terms of
two years and that an assessment of 3 mills for
maintenance of the schools in Gulf county was
to be voted upon by taxpayers?
S. The editor of The Star knew nothing of
it either.
Why wasn't this matter placed before the pub-
lic? Is the election of school trustees a furtive
business that has to be handled in such a man-
ner that the voting populace knows little or
nothing about it?
After all, the trustees handle a considerable
amount of the taxpayers' money, and if the tax-
payers feel the trustees are not doing their duty,
they should have the privilege of replacing them.
No mention was made, as far as we know, in
the news columns of the two county papers
that the books were open for qualification of
candidates for trustee. Ordinarily such news re-
leases emanate from the county school superin-
tendent or the chairman of the board.
Of course, we're not saying that the county
school board,'the trustees or the county superin-
tendent have anything to hide-but why all the
secrecy?

GOVERNMENT FIGHTS LOW'COST FOOD
Why has the government started a series of
;anti-trust suits against the Great Atlantic & Pa-
cific Tea Company, which is the largest chain-
:store system in the country? The reasons can be
found in the government lawyers' own words.
They say, to the court: "The very heart of the
government's complaint is, in effect, that the
company used the profits from what the govern-
ment calls its non-retail operations to lower its
retail prices." Then they say: "And the govern-
ment contends by such practices the A&P made
it difficult, if not impossible, for others to com-
pete. Without these advantages which permit
A&P to reduce gross profits, no competitor can
hope to remain long in business."
It doesn't take Attorneys Silas Stone or Cecil
Costin Jr., to understand the meaning of these
words. First of all, it is contended that because
the chain has devised ways and means to reduce
prices to the consumer, it is wicked, and should
be dismembered.
The second statement is the most amazing of
all. The government tells the court that no one
.can meet the chain's competition. Yet in every
.community which A&P serves, including Port St.
Joe, there are many other stores. Some of them
are chain-owned and some are individually


owned. They have their own satisfied customers
and they are doing well, as witness the expres-
sions stated in the advertisement on the next
foregoing two pages of this issue of The Star.
New stores are constantly being started-old ones
are growing. To say that any organization can
destroy competition in retail trade, and monopo-
lize the business, is to fly in the face pf the most
evident facts.
In our humble opinion, the government is in
reality saying: "Bigness is so bad that it cannot
be tolerated, even if it brings blessings to the peo-
ple in the form of low food prices." If
this kind of thinking is ever accepted in these
United States, we can kiss our high living stan-
dards goodbye.


TODAY IS ARMISTICE DAY
Little is heard about Armistice Day since the
end of World War II, but in our opinion this
day is more important today than it was origin-
ally in 1918.
As the editor looks back 31 years to that day
in 1918, which came as'he was lying on his back
in a hospital, it seems that this day is more im-
portant now, since it is a reminder that history
is repeating itself, and unless we beware, we will
again make the samrre mistakes.
We Americans are too trustful, and for that
reason, while we won World War I, we lost the
peace and as a consequence were plunged into
World War II. And it looks as though World
War III is in the making. The pattern of present-
day communist aggression is following the same
lines used by Kaiser Bill and Hitler when they
prepared their drives again:x democracy for
domination of the world.
Today should remind us that we must be on
our toes and maintain a strong national defense
until world-wide peace is assured. If we don't-
well, another generation of the youth of our land
will be offered as a sacrifice on the altar of the
god of war.

GETTING TOO BIG FOR HIS PANTS
In a talk at Orlando, Senator Pepper inveighed
against what he terms the "privileged press." He
said newspapers and magazines cried for reduc-
ing government expenses, but did their utmost
to avoid paying any additional taxes themselves.
Can it be that dear Claude has developed such
an opinion of his "greatness" that he figures he
can be returned to office term after term with-
out the support of at least a couple of newspa-
pers? We know, from the fact that he waited
in the anteroom at the last Democratic conven-
tion for his name to be,placed in nomination,
that he has aspirations for the presidency .
Does he believe that he can gain that seat with-
out the support of the newspapers and nationally
circulated magazines?
If he does, he's one of the biggest jackasses
we know of. Why, if all the little grass root pa-
pers, like The Star, ganged up on him, his
chances for nomination for the presidency would
be nil. And if he doesn't tone down, that's
exactly what's going to happen.
What we think Pepper had in mind in his talk
at Orlando was that the press is "privileged" to
support or oppose any candidate for public of-
fice, according to its judgment of the candida Le's
fitness for the office And, knowing Claude's
fondness for Joe Stalin and his principles, the
editor of The Star, along with a lot of other pub-
lishers of Florida weeklies, is gqing to use this
"privilege" in next year's political races, includ-
ing that for United States senator.

W. C. Roche: "I don't like it. I'd
hate to have the government make
me stay in business against my
will, as would be the case if the
state railroad commission ruled
against discontinuance of the train,
but its operation, in my opinion, is
a necessity to Port St. Joe and Ap-
alachicola. More passengers would
travel on the 'Doodlebug' if it were
not for the long layover at Chatta-
hoochee to make connections. If
the present schedule' were moved
up a couple of hours to meet trains
north, east and west, I believe the
passenger traffic would increase.
I'd say let the railroad try a mixed
schedule and if it didn't pay off, I'd
say let 'em take off the train."
City.Commissioner Spl Shirey:. "I
would like to see the train kept
on, as I believe if it were taken off
it would affect the city adversely
in regard to mail and express ser-
vice."
C. G. Costin: "I'm against taking
the 'Doodlebug' off. What about our
express and mail? I don't know
what arrangements have been or
can be made in regard to the mail
and express service, but I do not
believe they would or could be as
good. as we now have. And, too,
what of the crew that operates the
train? These men have been with
the railroad for ,years, and discon-
tinuance of the run would throw
them' out of jobs. Naturally, with
their, seniority, they could 'roll'
someone under them, but this would
mean a demotion, and there still
would be the same number of men
thrown out of work."
Date of the hearing before the
railroad commission has not as yet
been set, and Joe Sharit, superin-
tendent of the railroad, states that
the hearing probably will be held
at Apalachicola.

Sharks Trample


Frink High 66-15

Large Crowd Expected To Be On
Hand Tonight When Locals
Take On Walton High

With every member of the team
getting an opportunity to dig their
cleats into the sod, the Port St. Joe
Sharks defeated the Frink high
gridders by a 66-15 score here last
Friday night under the lights at
Centennial Field.
At the half the Sharks were on
the long end of a 26-9 count, and in
the final half, scoring almost at
will, they added another 40 points
for the final score of 66.
Phil Chatham, quarterback, led
the scoring with four touchdowns,
followed by Paul Edwin Ramsey,
halfback, with three; Gene Chism,
left end, two, and Raymond Law-
rence scored once, also adding six
points after touchdowns with place
kicks.
Tonight the Sharks take on the
big Walton county high eleven of
DeFuniak Springs in a game at
Centennial Field. Kickoff time is 8
o'clock, andl one of the season's
largest crowds is expected to be
on hand. A large delegation of fans
from DeFuniak is also anticipated
'to help cheer their boys on.
Ted Beard, first-string tackle for
the Sharks, will not be in the line-
up, due to a knee injury.
The high school band is expected
to be ready for a snappy half-time
performance at the game tonight.
Last week the youngsters put on a
good show and performed for the
first time this season with a full
completement. Part of their exhibi-
tion was done with the field lights
off, at which time the band mem-
bers made use of special lights
which each member carried and lit
for a special act.
