JOE, FLORIDA, THANKSGIVING DAY, 1949 NUMBER 9 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 (Continued on page 2) SHARKS END GRID SEASON IN WEDNESDAY NIGHT TILT The season's final football game for the St. Joe Sharks was played here Wednesday night when they met the fast Altha eleven at Cen- tennial Field.

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. 9.- It Never Rains But It Pours-Handbills We've noticed a peculiar thing about the printing business-runs occur on various items.

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. event that .should rival similar cel- affair were Hazel Cason, Sara Jo ebrations in other parts of Florida.

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.
