Christmas Seal

Sale Opens in

Gulf County

Is Only Appeal for Funds To
Carry On Fight Against
Tuberculosis

Tuesday marked the official open-
ing of the 1949 Christmas Seal sale
in Gulf county, when seals went
out in the mail to county residents.
Held in conjunction with the na-
tional appeal for funds to support
the continuing battle against tu-
berculosis, the drive is sponsored
'by the Gulf County Tuberculosis &
Health Association.
The sale, which will continue un-
til Christmas, represents the only
appeal during the year for funds to
carry on the year-'round tuberculo-
sis control work of the county asso-
ciation.
"Christmas Seals make possible
the program of the Gulf County Tu-
berculosis & Health Association."
said Harry Saunders. drive chair-
man. as the sale began. "Every time
we buy and use Christmas Seals we
make it plain that we are solidly
behind the association's work of
preventing and controlling tubercu-
losis in the county. The projects of
the association, aimed as they are
at raising the health standards of
our county, are of deep civic as well
as personal concern to every citi-
zen."
Christmas Seals. through the an-
nual sale, furnish the sole means of
support for the county association
and its projects, such as the X-ray
survey made recently.


First Annual Kids'

Day Goes Over Big

Parade, Contests and Talk By Sen-
ator Spessard Holland Are
Features of Event

The kids had a big time as well
as the older folks at the First An-
nual Kids' Day sponsored here last
Saturday by the Port St. Joe Ki-
wanis Club.
The affair started off with a par-
ade, headed by the high school
band, which formed at the A. N.
depot and marched to the band
stand on the lot opposite the Miller
Drug Store on Reid Avenue. Par-
ticipating in the parade was Sena-
tor Spessard Holland, an active Ki-
wanian.
At the band stand, City Clerk Ben
Dickens introduced Joe Sharit who,
in turn, introduced Senator Hol-
land, who made a brief talk on Ki-
wanis and National Kids' Day.
Following Holland's talk, a con-
test was held to find the kid with
the most freckles, top honors go-
ing to Charles Ray, with second
prize going to James Lindsay.
A frog-jumping contest followed,
with the entry of David Mussel-
white being declared the champion
jimnper with a leap of 32 inches.
Pete Gilley's frog was second in

Vets Owing U. S. Will
Have Deductions Taken
From N.S.L.I. Dividend
A considerable number of Gulf
county veterans who owe the gov-
ernment money as the result of
overpayments of subsistence allow-
ance or other benefits, or defaults
on GI loans, may find deductions
made from their National Service
Life Insurance dividend, according
to the Veterans' Administration.
All or part of their share of
the forthcoming dividend may be
needed to cover their debts to the
government. All of the individuals
concerned are aware of their in-
debtedness and know that it is de-
ductible from other VA payments
to which they may be entitled.
Most of these debts were incurred
as the result of overpayments on
subsistence allowance to veterans
taking education or training under
the GI Bill. Overpayments resulted
when the veterans or the school or
training establishment failed to no-
tify the Veterans' Administration
that training had been interrupted.
In many cases, veterans continued
to receive and cash subsistence
checks to which they were not en-
titled.

Our Country Right or Wrong

AGAIN WE ASK: WHY ALL THE SECRECY?
C. F. Hanlon of the Gulf County Breeze last
week reprinted our editorial, "Why All the Se-
crecy?", regarding the recent school election,
with the following (in part) pertinent remarks:
"That's news to us. We thought Editor Smith
was a regular reader of the Breeze, along with
hundreds of other Port St. Joe people. Notice of
this election was published in the Breeze.
"Referring to the statement The Star makes
about school trustees handling school money,
that is also news to us. School trustees can only
recommend expenditure of school moneys.
"In the matter of the 3 mill special school tax,
we fail to see where The Star is justified in re-
ferring to this at all. Gulf county has a school
millage tax of 6.5 mills, the lowest in the state.
"Maybe the Gulf county school board should
turn back the pages of time and employ a town
crier for St. Joe so that Editor Smith might be
kept informed of the 'Why all the secrecy?'
school matters.
"As to the three trustees not having opponents
in their race for the lucrative positions they al-
lowed themselves to be inveigled into running
for, Editor Smith should have had one of the
election managers explain to him that the three
blank lines following the printed names of the
candidates were there for him to write in any
qualified citizen's name he might choose instead
of the three names on the tickets. We are as-
suming he didn't see the three blank lines.
"You won't get a rise out of the voters on this
one, Bro. Smith. The voters are better informed
than you seem to be on school matters."
Okeh, Brother Hanlon. Now, let's check back.
You state that you thought we were a regular
reader of The Breeze, along with hundreds of
other Port St. Joe people. If you have hun-
dreds of readers in Port St. Joe, apparently you
have only a couple of readers in Wewahitchka,


TEN YEARS AGO
From the Files of The Star

Officer Shot In Liquor Raid
A. H. Matthews, part time officer
for the city, was taken to a Panama
City hospital Sunday with a bullet
in his back as the result of a raid
on the home of Richard Lucas in
the colored quarters in which about
six gallons of moonshine was con-
fiscated. Matthews had arrested Lu-
cas and was putting him in the po-
lice car when Lucas' daughter, Wil-
lie Mae Cotton, shot him in the
back with a .38 calibre revolver,
the bullet striking him below the
right shoulder blade and being de-
flected from the heart when it
struck a rib.
Constitution Day To Be Observed
The ball was started rolling Tues-
day night at the meeting of the Port
St. Joe Business Men's Association
for observance of the 101st anni-
versary of the drawing up of Flor-
ida's first constitution at old St.
Joseph on December 11, 1838. This
is the only date of importance St.
Joe has to commemorate, and it is
the plan to observe it each year
and eventually work it up into an


for in your last week's issue you printed your
statement of ownership, circulation, etc., as re-
quired by the postoffice department, wherein
you stated that your circulation was 390.
You state that school trustees can only recom-
mend expenditure of school monies. That may
not be exactly handling the money, but recom-
mendations of the trustees are generally followed.
It doesn't make a hoot what the millage for
schools comes to, the people should have the
right to know what it is and vote on whether
or not they approve of it.
Perhaps we should have a town crier in Port
St. Joe when it comes to school matters, since
neither the county school superintendent nor the
chairman of the school board sees fit to release
news stories to The Star.
As to the three blank lines on the ballot, that
is customary on any ballot, and Brother Hanlor
is right in assuming that the editor of The Star
didn't see them, because wte didn't know there
icas an election being held, and consequently we
failed to rote! Had we known of the election, we
most certainly would have cast our ballot.
Now as to the voters are better informed than
you seem to be on school matters: Our' editorial
was based on the fact that we had talked with
some thirty or more qualified electors, and but
two of these knew that an election was to be
held-and one of them was one of those named
as a poll-holder. But 17 ballots were cast in
Port St. Joe during the election, and if this indi-
cates that the voters are well-informed, then we
must believe that the voters here don't take a
great deal of interest in school affairs, and this
we know is not true, for in the past there have
been some hot and heavy campaigns for these
lucrative positions, as well as for reforms in our
school setup.
No, Brother Hanlon, we are still of the same
opinion-and so are a lot of incensed voters of
Port St. Joe-Why All the Secrecy?

SCHOOLBOY PATROL AT WORK
We want to congratulate the Schoolboy Pa-
trol on the fine job it is doing. Membership on'
the patrol may at times interfere with play, but
when we stop to think that if but the life of one
student is saved through activity of the patrol,
it will have more than paid for the time and ef-
fort expended by the boys who make it up.
We urge all motorists to co-operate with the
boys by taking cognizance of the warning signs
on Long Avenue near the school grounds and
slow down. If they don't-well, those boys have
just as much authority as the chief of police, and
they are observant and on their toes. So, should
you fail to heed the warning "School Zone -
Slow," don't be at all surprised if a police officer
knocks on your door and requests your appear-
ance in court, for the patrol will take down your
car tag number if you speed by the school.

Shotgun Barrages As

Hunting Season Opens

Game Commission Survey Shows
Game Plentiful In This
District

To war veterans of Gulf county,
this week is reminiscent of their
days in the service as a shotgun
barrage set up by hundreds of
game-hungry hunters echoes o'er
forest and'swamp.
Hunters in this district are prom-
ised "satisfactory" results by the
state game commission, "if the wea-
therman will co-operate."
"There is plenty of game to make
things interesting for the hunters,"
said the commission, "but the suc-
cess of failure of the season will be
determined by weather conditions."
A district game census recently
completed by commission biologists
shows that deer and turkey stocks
have improved, except in the south-
eastern corner, where screworms
have hit the deer particularly hard.
Except for a county or two, quail
have shown a slight increase, and
squirrels are plentiful.
Domestic game and bird hunting
started Tuesday and will continue
daily until next Monday. Thereaf-
ter 'hunting will be allowed four
days a week, being closed on Mon-
day, Tuesday and Friday. Deer sea-
son closes January 5; turkey, quail
and squirrel season ends Feb. 1;
The migratory waterfowl season
opens next Tuesday, November 29,
at 12 noon and closes January 1.
Duck and geese may be hunted
every day between these dates.
The dove season opens Decem-
ber 17, closing January 15, with
the same Monday-Tuesday-Friday
closing as the other season.

Have Flock of Guests
Mr. and Mrs. Jack Sheffield had
-as their guests Sunday, Mr. and

Fourth Thanksgiving Edition From Boyles Dept. Store I
DEAR SHOPPERS We're thankful from the bottom of our
heart for your generous patronage and support. You have made
this the greatest November in the history of this business and we
feel inclined to forget Suits, Shoes, Sox and Frocks for the moment
and fill this brief space full of "THANK YOU'S." Words and prices
cannot measure the value we place on the Faith and Confidence
you have shown in us. We know our future success will be de-
termined by the way we build on these two cornerstones of busi-
ness. We shall try with all our might to use your faith and confi-
dence to bring a bigger and better service to you.
Thank you and God Bless you this Glorious
Thanksgiving Day of 1949,
R. GLENN BOYLES.
