Colored veterans who plan to en- roll in the school are to meet Tues- day, November 15, at the old city hall building at 10 a. m. or 4:15 p. m. All prospective, students are re- minded that they need attend only one of these meetings.

Health Program In County Underway Parent-Teacher Association Spon- soring Project In Conjunc- tion With Schools Five communities were visited thi.s. week .by groups representing the Port St. Joe Parent-Teacher As- sociation in the interest of an im- proved health program for Gulf county. Moving pictures were shown and group discussions held by F. E.

"N GOOD MEDICINE River Project To Be of Inestimable Value To This Section of State 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 (Continued on page 8) 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 The Star for his "men only" ad. Spend Week-end In Jax Mr. and Mrs. Carl Oliver were week-end visitors in Jacksonville. 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. Seeking to find the sentiment in regard to this contemplated ac- First Aid Course Being Conducted At High School; Certificates Will Be Awarded Night of December 14 A course in 'first aid got under way here this week under the di- rection of J. T. Simpson, local Boy Scout leader and. a qualified in- structor in first aid. Some 50 indi- viduals are enrolled for the course, and enrollment is still open to all adults and to both Boy and Girl Scouts and their leaders. It is an- ticipated the number enrolled will. pass the 65 mark by next Wednes- day night. Meetings are being held Wednes- 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- -ter, and we give you their opinions herewith: Postmaster H. A.

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 (Continued on page 7) F B. I.

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. -9X. Named Deputy Grand Master W. C.

JOE, GULF COUNTY, FLORIDA ARMISTICE DAY, 1949 PAGE THREE PAG FOU TH TR OTS.JE UFCUNY LR RITC A,14 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 RA A 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 the earth's surface. 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.

PORT ST. JOE, GULF COUNTY, FLORIDA ARMISTICE DAY, 1949 PAGE FOUR NOW THE STAR, PORT ST. JOE, GULF COUNTY, FLORIDA 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. Attend Funeral In Blountstown Mr. and Mrs. T. E.

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.

DOODLEBUG (Continued from -page 1) comfortable coaches for passengers it would show a decided increase in passenger fares." 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.

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.
