THE STAR IS THE OFFICIAL NEWSPAPER FOR GULF COUNTY THE STAR "TRADE AT HOME" SPEND YOUR MONEY WITH LOCAL MERCHANTS AND GET ANOTHER SHOT AT IT "Port St. Joe The Outlet Port for the Apalachicola-Chattahoochee Valley" VOLUME XIII PORT ST. JOE, FLORIDA, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 1949 NUMBER 8 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. .Merchants To Close Thanksgiving Day \Will Also Observe Monday Closing For Christmas and New Years Day All business' houses of the city 'will be closed all day next Thurs- 'day in observance of Thanksgiving, but they will forego. the -half-day holiday Wednesday, remaining open until 6 o'clock. I The Star (we hope) will be pub- lished Wednesday afternoon in- stead of Thursday, in order that the staff of Ye Ed and frau may give thanks with the rest of the good people of our fair city. Con- sequently, we must have all copy for advertisements by Tuesday a. m. and news stories by 10 a. m. Wednesday. Member's of the Port St. Joe Re- tail Merchants Association have also agreed to close the Monday af- ter Christmas and New Years, as these two holidays this year fall on Sunday. New Assistant Tax Assessor Mr. and Mrs. Sammy Patrick of Wewahitchka announce the arrival of a son on Monday, November 14, at a Panama City hospital. The young man has been, named Sam- uel Robert. Back From Hospital Joe LeHardy has returned to his home here from the veterans' hos- pital in Pensacola, where he was taken for treatment. 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. Log Train Kills Colored Youth At Kenney Mill L. C. Hogan, 19, colored, was in- stantly killed about 11:30 Tuesday morning at the St. Joe Lumber & Export*Company log yard when he stepped down from the log train to open a switch, apparently caught his foot in the track and fell across the rails in front of the engine. Hogan's body was cut completely in half, according to witnesses to the accident. Visiting Daughter and Family Mrs. Flora Justice of Woodbury, N. J., is spending some time here with her daughter and family, Rev. and Mrs. S. J. Allen. 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. ------k- '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. 'mmwmNIHMnmmmwf mmliffiwMim Milifiimfwlm 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. 1uiiiiiHIIIIIIIIIIIiIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIiIIIIIIiIIIi IIIIIIIII1IIIiiiii CITY COMMISSION VOTES TO START CONDEMNATION PROCEEDINGS FOR PROPOSED WIDENING OF MONUMENT .,i - PROCLAMATION WHEREAS, the 'citizens of Port St. Joe are vitally interested in our youth and recognize' the importance- of- adult participa- tion in matters pertaining, to the' welfare of our children; and, WHEREAS, one- of the- principal tasks facing. our nation and our community today is the building of our youth into useful and honorable citizens; and, WHEREAS, it is fitting that we' make every effort to keep all children from being prey to any form of delinquency and to fos- ter all good and proper endeavors aimed at helping our youth to achieve the, benefits offered by the American' way of life; and, WHEREAS, through the. joint efforts of Kiwanl- International and the National Kids' Day Foundation as represented by the Port St. Joe' Kiwanis Club, a day has been set aside to focus 'attention upon the problems* and' the accomplishments of youth through- out the forty-eight states at both a national and community level; and, WHEREAS, the purpose of the day is to provide, wherever possible, assistance in helping underprivileged children to enjoy some of the benefits normally accruing to boys and girls in more fortunate circum- stances, NOW, THEREFORE, I, J.

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..

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 -and build a fire under them there guvamint boys who've bin making' a munkey of Unkle Sambo and a sucker of us rolliksum citizens. Yours with the low down, 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.

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.

This record production is an increase of 50% over last year. The crop includes 29,198,000 slash pine seedlings. 22,600 longleaf pine seedlings, and 8,400 cork oak seed- lings. The trees are sold for reforesta- tion purposes at the cost of produc- tion and shipment. Some free dis- tribution is also made by the forest service for school forestry projects and for Arbor Day plantings by the schools. A blight infection and inadequate growth knocked out for distribution an anticipated 100,000 red cedar seedlings, which are popular with farmers and Christmas tree grow- ers. Orders for seedlings for the 1949- 1950 planting season began to be received last spring.
