National Kids' Day

Will Be Observed

In City Tomorrow


.Parade and Varied Contests
Scheduled for Kids of
Community

'Plans for observance of National
Kids' Day in Port St. Joe tomorrow
have' been completed, according to
S.John' Blount, president of the local
Kiwanis Club, which is sponsoring
the' event in conjunction with Ki-
wanis Clubs throughout the nation.
The day's fare is as follows:
Parade of all children at 2:30 p.
m., headed by the high school band.
Frog jumping contest at. 2:45, in
which each kid may make an entry.
'Choice prizes will be awarded for
the two frogs making the longest
jumps from a standing start. As we
go to press there have been 22 en-
tries made in this contest.
A turtle race will be held at 3:45
with prizes given to the two kids
having the "fastest" racers. The
Star, not to be outdone by the Ki-
wanis Club, is adding a third prize
to this turtle event for the smallest
entry in the race.
Following these athletic events,
refreshments &ill be served to all
the kids in sight.
Okay, kids, go out in the woods
and find yourselves a turtle or a'
high-jumping frog and enter them
in these events. Who knows,
perhaps yqur entry may set a n.na-
tional record.
One of the main project-s ot Ki-
wanis is helping underprivileged
children, and at the meeting of the
local club Wednesday, each Ki-
wanian was given two bags of or-
anges by Norris McCollum which
the members will sell, with the pro-
ceeds to be spent for the benefit of
underprivileged children in Port St.
P Joe and vicinity.

Paper Mill Worker

Goes Out of Mind

Calls Upon Lord To Strike Down
Anyone Touching Him; Will
Be Sent To Asylum

William B. Poling, an employee of
the St. Joe Paper Company, appar-
ently lost his reason Monday and
after being subdued was taken to
the county jail at Wewahitchka to
await arrival of papers to allow
him to be placed in the asylum at
Chattahoochee.
Fellbw workers say that Poling,
apparently somewhat of a religious
fanatic, started shouting and sing-
ing. He was forced into a corner of
the storeroom at the mill by sev-
eral men, where he picked up a sec-
tion of lead pipe, and while he did
not, we understand, threaten to
strike anyone with it, he called
upon the Lord to strike down any-
one who touched him.
Chief of Police Buck Griffin was
called in, and with the assistance
of several mill workers, finally sub-
dued Poling. Dr. A. L. Ward was
also called to the mill, and he ad-
ministerd a sedative to quite him
down.
Poling was held in the city jail
until the arrival of Sheriff Byrd
Parker, who took him to the county
jail.


Lunches Served At

School On Increase

Average of 450 Students' Daily Ate
Lunch During lSonttr


An average of 450 students of the
local schools ate 'lunch on each
school day during the month of Oc-
tober, according to Miss Elsie Mc-
Griff, lunchroom supervisor of Gulf
county.
Figures show that a total of 9,016
meals were served during October
as against 7,879 during September.
With the average daily attendance
at school being 797 during October,
this comes to an average of 56% of
the total studentbody eating lunch
at school during the month.
Corresponding figures of a year
ago show that a daily average of"
372 students ate in the lunchroom.
This figure is 78 less than th'e
present year.
Mrs. Margaret Hardy, manager,
and Mliss McGriff' state that a fea-
ture' of the lunchroom' program this
year s' far is the mid-morniing lunch
served free each morning to all
members of the first grade, 107 in
all. This lunch consists of a drink
of either milk or fruit juice and
some sort of sandwich or cookies.
This is slightly more than 2000 mid-
morning lunches and is in addition
to the 9,016 regular meals served
during October.

the accident.

Would Deed Centennial

Building To Park Board

Tapper Points qut Building Could
Be Made Part of Park and State
Would Provide For Upkeep

Appearing before the city com-
mission Tuesday night, Represen-
tative George Tapper asked that
the city prepare a deed giving Mon-
ument Park to the state of Florida
in order thAt It might be presented
to the state park board at a meet-
ing to be held Ilecemrber 5 in Jack-
sonville. The park runs from the
bay front back almost to the Cen-
tennial Auditorium.
Tapper also proposed that the
city deed the Centennial Auditor-
ium to the state as a part of the
park in order that cost of its up-
keep could be removed from the
city.
He was informed that such ac-
tion had been taken previously and
that the park board had stated that
should it take over the building it
would be closed to use by residents
of the city.
Tapper stated that he was sure
the park board would change its
mind, and asked that a representa-
tive of the city commission attend
the December 5 meeting of the
board and take up the matter.
He further stated that after Jan-
uary 1 the park service would pro-
vide a caretaker for Monument
Park and that 'he was of the belief
that a deal could be worked out by
the 'city, provided the state refused
to take over Centennial Auditor-
ium, whereby the. caretaker could
also take care of the hbuding. At
prew' -+htere- I i' no care~ter, and-
the building is rapidly taking on a
run-down appearance.

'NINE-MONTH-OLD PULLET
PRODUCES ENORMOUS EGG
D. B. Barineau staggered into
The Star office Wednesday under
the weight of an enormous egg laid
by a nine-months-old Barred Rock
pullet which he had purchased as a
biddy from the St. Joe Hardward
Company last February.
The egg, which our wife had for
breakfast yesterday, measured 6%
inches in circumference, was 3'
inches long and weighed 3% ounces.
In our opinion, it Would take but
seven eggs of this type to make a
dozen.

Fishermen Net 50,500
Pounds of Mullet In
Few Hours Monday

The Raffield and Kilbourn fish
emporiums were oozing mullet
at the seams Monday after one of
the biggest catches made in a
considerable time.
The fish, mostly big babies and
loaded with roe, were sighted at
the mouth of the canal at High-
land View and in a little better
than three and a half hours the
boys who make their living from
the sea had stacked up 50,500
pounds. And with mullet re-
tailing at 25c per pound and the
roe in the neighborhood of 85c a
pound, that's a lot of dinero to
drag in on short notice.
The catch was made by five
crews working under Carl Raf-
field, M. C. Wood, Bob Raffield,
L. Wood and Henry Butts. ,
Ye Ed was the recipient of two
mullet from the Kilbourn Fish
House weighing 4/2 pounds, and
our wife (we never seem to be
able to get around to cleaning
fish) reports the roe from the
two weighed 3/4 of a pound.

Our Country ,-:-"- Right or Wrong


IT'S YOUR MONEY
The money you own is yours, consequently
you should have the say-so as to how it is to be
spent. But did you ever stop to think that a con-
siderable portion of that money you earn is spent
for you by the various branches of government?
You have to pay it in in the form of taxes, and
if you don't kick in, you're liable to a term in the
hoosegow, you may be assessed a fine, or your
property may be sold to pay the delinquent tax.
Right now you are paying out one-third of
your income, working one-third of your time,
to pay taxes to municipal, county, state and fed-
eral governments-and that doesn't figure in the
3 per cent state sales tax that went into effect
November 1.
One little item, for instance, is that the U. S.
treasury will spend $46,000,000,000 in cold cash
in the single year to end next June 30. That is
about $30.67 for every man, woman and child in
the country; $81,275 for the people within the
city limits of Port St. Joe; $223,881 for the people
in the confines of Gulf county. And what will
this huge sum go for? Mostly for benefits and
subsidies of diverse kinds, foreign aid and to pay
off the 30,000,000 individuals now on the federal
payroll-if you don't know it, one out of every
five people in the nation live off the federal gov-
ernment-and you and I have to support them..

THE LOW DOWN
----- from -----

WILLIS SWAMP

Editor The Starr:
Whut- this here nashun cud use
mor of is a few mor like Granmaw
Moses and Jedge Medina-git bak
to reason and balance. We bin a
rollicksum outfit to long. Rollick-
sum is jist a perlite wurd-a "suck-
er outfit" wud have cum closter-
but I kinda like to keep these here
essays, fer my reeders, on mor or
less of a Emersonian level.
Granmaw Moses, when she paints
sumthing you rite away know what
it is-you don't need cook your hed
sideways like when you look at sum
modern dauber's effort and try to
bigger iffen it is mebbe a fricassee
of sick oyster or mebbe a abscessed
bikuspid or jist a plain hole in the
ground. And with a Jedge Medina
decishun, you don't need inquire to
bigger whut the man meens or is
talking' about.
And the way the hole nashun
honors Granmaw Moses and ack-
laims her wurk-and the way the
nashun likewise puts a unanimous
pat on the back of Jedge Medina,
shows one thing. It shows that this
here country of ourn is still okay.
And when it gits over its doze, it
may finally alert itself do sum
Medina ponderin'-stroke its chin

JO SERRA,

Advertising doesn't cost-it pays!


amounts to $5,000,000,000 a year. This comes to
$33 per person; $87,450 yearly for the people of
Port St. Joe; $240,900 for all the people in Gulf
county.
And these figures are only a portion of what
the federal government spends.
We don't know what we have to kick in per
person to operate our state government, but you
can bet" your life it's plenty. However, we do
know what it costs to operate our county and
city governments. The county budget of $198,-
197 means each person's share in Gulf county is
about $71, and in Port St. Joe our city govern-
ment finds it must have $131,800 to operate this
year, which means each individual's share will
amount to about $54. Of course, these taxes are
not pro rated in this proportion-some pay more
and a great many pay a heap less.
What we're driving at is that there seems to
be no end to this spending-it keeps advancing
each year-and so it is our humble opinion that
the people who earn this money should put their
foot down. They are spending one-third of their
time now working for government-soon it will
be half their time.
The public is too apathetic. They lookon gov.,
ernment as a sort of Robinhood-taking from the
rich and giving to the poor. But it isn't that. It
begins to look to us like plain robbery of the tax-
payer. Ostensibly the "take" by our Robinhood
government goes to worthy causes, but you may
remember that Robinhood always rode an excel-
lent horse and had a well-equipped retinue ....
Our government employes ride in shiny new au-
tomobiles and are well-fed and well-dressed.
We're wondering just about how much more
government the country can stand.


Truman has promised security from the "womb
to the tomb," but if he were as astute as he
claims to be, he'd go a step further and pledge
security in the next world as well. However, it
is entirely possible that his five-percenters don't
have much influence in that realm.- Hamlin
(Texas) Herald.


TEN YEARS AGO
From the Files of The Star

W. E. Murdock Called By Death
Another pioneer resident of Port
St. Joe was taken by the Grim
Reaper Tuesday morning when W.
E. "Billy" Murdock was stricken
with a heart attack and passed
away at his home on 7th Street.
Funeral services were held at the
Baptist Church Wednesday after-
noon with the Rev. J. W. Sisemore
officiating, assisted by Rev. D. E.
Marietta. Interment was in Mag-
nolia cemetery at Apalachicola.
To Build Pipeline To Atlanta
Another great forward step for
Port St. Joe is contained in an an-
nouncement from Pittsburgh, Pa.,
that the Gulf Oil Corporation has
confirmed reports that the com-
pany will construct a 450-mile pipe-
line from this city to Atlanta, Ga.,
for the transportation of oil and
gasoline.
Palmer Cole
Announcement has been made of
the marriage of Miss Viola Cole of
Arcadia to Harold Palmer of this
city on October 22 at the home of
Rev. Rob't. Anderson in Tallahassee.
Sharks Lose To Bristol
The Sharks lost the football game
to Bristol last Friday by a score of
29 to 18. The game was lost in the
first few minutes when Bristol
scored two touchdowns. The Sharks
put up a valiant battle, but could
not overcome that first lead.
New Health Nurse
Miss Claudia B. Houston, former
supervisor of nurses at Johnston's
sanitarium in Tallahassee, has been
named to succeed Miss Enid Mathi-
son as health nurse for Gulf county.
Miss Mathison will be in charge of
the Gulf-Franklin health unit.

Pine Seedlings

for Arbor Day

Are Available

Florida Forest Service Will
Supply 100 To Schools
Requesting Them

Free pine seedlings for Arbor
Day plantings by schools through-
out the state will be provided by
the Florida Forest Service, accord-
ing to word from Tallahassee. Es-
tablished by law as the third Fri-
day in January, Arbor Day will be
January 20 in 1950.
The forest service announces that
100 pine seedlings will be supplied
for every Arbor Day planting held
by schools in January.
This would be an excellent op-
portunity to plant a row of trees
along the boundaries of the Port
St. Joe school ground, as recom-
mended by Thomas D. Bailey, state
superintendent of public instruc-
tion. He has urged county school
superintendents and principals that
their schools hold Arbor Day plant-
ings for school ground beautifica-
tion as well as to recognize the eco-
nomic importance of the forest
products industry to the state.
The seedlings will be shipped
from the state's Olustee nursery by
parcel post in time to reach the
schools in good condition for the
Arbor Day plantings.
School children in Florida ob-
served Arbor Day for the first time
in 1886. For many years after that
Florida had two Arbor Days-one
observed by the public schools and
tthe other by the State Federation
-of Garden Clubs. The present date
(during the middle of Florida's tree
-planting season was set by the 1945
legislature.

Local Residents Recipients
of Teaching Certificates

Three residents of Port St. Joe
-were issued teaching certificates
,by the state department of educa-
tion during October. Mrs. Minnie
B. Howell received a graduate cer-
tificate, and temporary certificates
were issued to Mrs. Sarah Davis
'Hill and Mrs. Janet King.
A total of 867 certificates were
issued during the month. Certifi-
,cates were: advanced post-gradu-
ate, 5; post-graduate, 82; graduate,
.252; provisional graduate, 151; pro-
-visional undergraduate, 16, and
temporary, 361.
Only 213 of the temporary per-
mits went to non-degree teachers,
and close to 74% of all the certifi-
cates went to teachers with four
years or more of college training.

Forest Service Nurseries
Up Seedling Production
By 50 Per Cent Over '48

Approximately thirty million tree
seedlings will be available from the
Florida Forest Service nurseries
for planting by landowners this

St. Joe Sharks

Lose To Walton

Locals Lose In Wide Open Game;
Altha Will Play Here Next
Wednesday Night

Playing under the lights at Cen-
tennial Field last Friday night, the
St. Joe Sharks took the short end
of a 33-25 score in a football game
with the Walton Braves from De-
Funiak Springs that was wide open
all the way and filled with runs
and passes.
DeFuniak recovered a St. Joe
fumble on the kickoff, and on the
second play of the game scored a
touchdown on a 40-yard run around
left end. The try for point was suc-
cessful.
The Saints. scored in the same
quarter when Phillip Chatham made
a 65-yard run around right end, but
the try for point failed. In the last
minutes of the second quarter, in,
which Walton failed to score, Chat-
ham made it 12-7 when he raced 55
;yards for another counter.
.Walton scored three times in the
third quarter, two of them being on
St. Joe fumbles.
iThe fourth quarter found Chat
ham again in the limelight with a
45-yard run for a touchdown and a
pass zo Gene Chism, this combina-
tion also making the extra point
via the aerial route on the first
touchdown. Try for point on the
second touchdown failed..
Due to 'the fact that the schools
will close Wednesday for Thanks-
giving, the game with Altha sched-
uled for next Friday night will be
played at Centennial Field Wednes-
day night, starting at 8 o'clock.
