Plans call' for registration of the musicians to be held in the high school auditorium on Friday from 8 until 10 a. m. Tryouts in the vari- ous instrument classes will be held from 10 a. m. intil noon, with the following places being used: city hall, parish house, school auditor- ium, Centennial Auditorium and the school band house.

Mayor Urges Support of Christmas Seal Sale Praises Work of Association For Work Being Done In Gulf County Mayor Jake Belin yesterday is- sued a formal proclamation urging all residents of Port St. Joe to "demonstrate their interest in stamping out tuberculosis in Port St. Joe" through their "unqualified support" of the 1949 Christmas Seal sale of the Gulf County Tuberculo- sis and Health Association. In issuing his proclamation, the mayor praised the tuberculosis con- trol program of the association, par- ticularly its projects directed at helping to find any unknown cases of the-disease in the county. These unknown cases, he explained, are those not reported to the health au- thorities. Many of them are early cases and the people themselves may not know they are ill, since the disease has no obvious symptoms in an early state, he said. "The more we co-operate with and lend our support to all the as- sociation's projects, the closer we shall be to victory over tuberculo- sis in Port St. Joe," the mayor added. "Since the annual Christmas Seal sale constitutes the sole sup- port of the association, we take an active part in the campaign to erad- icate the disease every time we buy and use Christmas Seals." Mail Early, Urges Postmaster Drake Expects Record-Breaking Deluge of Mail That Will Strain Post- office Facilities Postmaster H. A. Drake officially opened the Yuletide mailing season yesterday when he issued his an- nual appeal for early mailing of Christmas greeting cards and gift packages. Drake expects the greatest flood of Yuletide mail in the history of Port St. Joe, and he predicts it will exceed "by a considerable margin" the record-breaking 1948 holiday mailings. "This year's Christmas mail will keep us all humping," he said. "But if Wilbur Smith's back holds out and J. T. Simpson's feet don't go back on him, and I can talk Mrs. Drake into doing more than two mules' work, we'll get everything delivered by Christmas if the public will give us full co- operation." Christmas packages for distant states should be mailed by Decem- ber 5 (next Monday), and all Yule- tide parcel post should be on its way by December 10. Christmas cards going outside of Florida should be deposited by De- cember 15, and greetings for local delivery should click through the stamp cancellation machine a week before Christmas. To keep Christmas mail on sched- ule, Drake asks that you . Stop at the postoffice right now to purchase the extra stamps (Continued on page 6) Duck and Goose Hunting Gets Underway In State The second part of the Florida hunting season opened Monday at noon, when shooting of ducks, coot and geese became legal. The season on quail, deer, turkey and squirrel opened last week. The dove season will not open until De- cember 17. - Bag limit is four ducks, two Can- ada geese, and 15 coot a day. You also may kill three blue geese a day--if you: can find 'em--only one was reported killed in Florida last year. Hunters may start firing half an hour before sunrise and must stop half an hour after sunset. Ducks, geese and coot may be hunted every day during the season, which ends January 7. Hunters may not shoot quail, tur- keys, deer and squirrels on Mon- days, Tuesday and Fridays. Negro Boy Electrocuted At Highland View Bridge Alford Morning Jr., 12, colored, was electrocuted Tuesday morning as he and his brother were walking under the canal bridge at Highland View and he stepped on an elec- trical conduit which had been used at one time in' operation of the bridge and had never been re- moved. His brother attempted to pick Al- ford up and received a shock, but not of lethal strength. He called Bridge Tender W. P.. Coleman, who pulled the switches in the control tower and then removed the body. This conduit, which had not been in use for some six years, has now been removed and no longer offers danger to anyone coming in contact with it.

Mel Magidson, director, urges all veterans in this area who-are inter- ested in attending school, either full or part time, to contact him at the high school.

To Drop Train Service Will Be Held In Apalachicola Next Wednesday Morning At 9:30 o'Clock An announcement appears in this issue of The Star stating that the Florida Railroad and Public Utili- ties Commission will hold a public hearing at 9:30 a. m., Wednesday, December 7, in the Franklin county BULLETIN As we went to press yesterday word was received from the pub- lic utilities commission that the hearing had been postponed until 10 a. m., Tuesday, December 20. court house at Apalachicola on the application of the Apalachicola Northern Railroad Company for au- thority to discontinue operation of the so-called "Doodlebug" between this city and Chattahoochee. The railroad company avers that during the past five years it has op- erated the train at a loss of ap- proximately $60,000 for the period, and that the number of passengers has shown a continued decline of from 12,495 in 1945 to 3,732 in the first eight months of this year. Discontihuance of this train will also mean discontinuance of mail and express service by rail. The hearing is open to the pub- lic, and it is understood a delega- tion of business men from this city and Apalachicola will be present in an effort to work out some sort of arrangement to keep the train run- ning and thus retain the mail and express services. Elected To Tau Beta Pi Johnny Lane, who is attending Georgia Institute of Technology at Atlanta, Ga., has been honored by election to Tau Beta Pi, a national engineering honorary fraternity. Schoolboy Patrol Now Functioning Smoothly All Members of Unit Are Scouts, Functioning Under Local Law Officers Following reorganization of the schoolboy patrol some six weeks ago, under direction of the local Kiwanis and Key clubs and the su- pervision of Scoutmaster J. T. Simpson, the organization is now functioning smoothly in guarding the lives of children going to and from school. There are a total of 25 boys in the patrol, divided into five units of five boys each, which makes each member serve one week of duty once a month. Stations are located at four in- tersections near the school grounds and the boys are on duty at the morning and noon rush hours when the greatest number of children are in the vicinity of the schools. Patrol officers are Gene Chism and Raymond Lawrence, captains; Earl McCormick, Loyd Tubb, Jim- mie Philyaw and Bobby Ramsey, lieutenants; John Barrier, Bobby Smith, Billy Gailliard, Val Cathey and Donald Ramsey, sergeants. All members of the patrol are Boy Scouts, and they have received instructions and lessons in safety from Scoutmaster Simpson, Chief of Police Buck Griffin, Deputy Sher- iff Mose Hill and Highway Patrol- man J. E. Jordan. Bank Release $4500 In Xmas Club Checks S. L. Barke, president of the Flor- ida Bank, states that approximately $450n in checks has been mailed to members of the 1949 Christmas club conducted by the bank during the past 12 months. "It seems that the people in this community like the idea of the Christmas savings club, and their reception of it encourages us to continue," said Mr. Barke. "The 1949 club, both in number of mem- bers and in dollars was consider- ably greater than last year. When the members -receive their checks it certainly will help them with their Christmas shopping, and it should be noticeable to local mer- chants." Announcement of formation of the 1950 club will be found on page six of this issue of The Star. Last Rites Are Held For Mrs. Emma Jane Corbitt Last rites were held Saturday for Mrs. Emma Jane Corbitt, 83, who died last Friday at the home of Mrs. Lola Hall, about fives miles south of this city on the Apalachi- cola highway. Interment was in the family plot at the Wilks Cemetery, Moultrie, Ga. The Comforter Fu- neral Home of this city was in charge of arrangements. Mrs. Corbitt is survived by four daughters, Mrs. Minnie Willis of Blackshear, Ga., Mrs. Zola Hall of this city, Mrs. Renna Dampier of Pano, Ga., and Mrs. Carrie Swan- zey of Miami; a son, Harley Harn- age of Ruskin, Fla.; two brothers, S. V. Goodin of Waycross, Ga., and W. L. Goodin of. Valdosta, Ga., and a sister, Mrs. Rosa White of Boyls- ton, Ala. She was the mother of 14 children and has approximately 200 descendants. Patient In Hospital George Wimzberly is again back in his'regular bed at the municipal hospital. He has the darndest luck. City Is Seeking Settlement of Street Problem Endeavoring To Have State Make Changes In Monu- ment Widening Project A special called meeting of the city commission was held Tuesday afternoon to discuss the matter of proposed condemnation proceedings against property owners on Monu- ment Avenue, which is to be wid- ened to 80 feet in a proposed fed- eral-state paving project. At this time the commission de- cided to ask the state highway de- partment to make exceptions on the three pieces of property involved, since easements already have been granted by the state on the prop- erty of Sol Shirey and Mrs. R. A. Costin. The commission felt that since exceptions had been made in these two cases, that easements should also be granted to A. D. Law- son, T. H. Stone and the Modern Coach Corporation. In keeping with this decision, the city dads passed a resolution au- thorizing City Attorney Cecil Cos- tin Jr., to ask for postponement of the condemnation hearing until the state road department can be pe- titioned and a delegation sent to Tallahassee to take the matter up with the road department. The hearing has been set for 10 a. m. today in Panama City by Judge E. Clay Lewis, at which time he will decide who the appraisers shall be to estimate the value of,, the property involved in the con- demnation action. As we went to press, yesterday, Attorney Costin was in Tallahassee negotiating for an alteration in the plans in regard to sidewalks and the utility strip as it affects these various pieces of property. If he is successful, in all probability the condemnation proceedings will be dismissed and everybody will be happy-not only the property own- ers affected, but the city as well, since there are no funds available at present with which to carry on the condemnation action and to pay for the condemned property. Intra-Mural Sports Program Is Started Is Designed To Include All Able- Bodied Boys and Girls In High School An intra-mural sports programm which is designed to include every physically able-bodied boy and girl in the local high school, is now in the first phase of activity. Coach Marion Craig states that interest is keen in the various tour- naments and group contests al- ready held or underway at present. The girls' volleyball team of grade eleven won the elimination tour- ney held last week, while the boys' touch football tourney is underway this week. Practice in basketball for both boys and girls has been started and this sport will also include the en- tire physical education group of approximately 225 who take part in the high school program. Individual high scorers in the girls' volleyball tourney are Daisy Boyette, Betty Wilder and Carlene Campbell. Making up the winning team were Verna Lee Pope, Sarah Bray, Faye Hill, Betty.Ruth Wilder Dorothy Manasco, Emily Dykes and Barbara Boyles. THE STAR, PORT ST.

JOE, GULF COUNTY, FLORIDA FRIDAY, DEC-EMBER 2, 1949 FC Pridgeon Tribe Gathers For Thanksgiving Dinner The editor and wife were invited to partake of Thanksgiving dinner with one of the branches of the nu- merous Pridgeon tribe-the Uncle Edd side-and in all our born days never have we seen so much food spread out. If the Pilgrim Fathers were looking on from up yonder, we'll bet their eyes hung out a foot. The affair was staged at the fish- ing and hunting lodge of Edd Prid- geon Jr., on the Dead Lakes, and present were 40 hearty eaters, rang- ing in age from one month to 70 years. Spread out on a ten-foot table were-hold your breath-tur- key with dressing, fried breast of turkey, turkey with dumplings, chickenn and# rice, duck and rice, fried chicken, baked ham, fresh wa- ter fish, string beans, sweet potato souffle, macaroni and cheese, can- died yams, potato salad, pea salad, mustard greens, cole slaw, cran- berry sauce, fruit salad, pear rel- ish, lemon pie, pumpkin pie, butter- scotch pie, chocolate cake, pound cake, jelly cake, devil's food cake, maple nut cake, hot biscuits, bread and coffee. Other invited guests, outside the tribe, besides Ye Ed and wife, were Mr. and Mrs. A. D. Lawson, Mr. and Mrs. J. F. Miller and Mr. and Mrs. Peck Boyer and kids. We tried our best to try it all, but without success. Mr. Lawson got a bit of everything, much to his later regret.

To be "fully insured," the appli- cant must have worked about one- half his career under social secur- ity. It figures this way: Figure the number of calendar quarters from January 1, 1937, un- til the quarter in which you reach 65. Divide this number by two, be- cause you must have one quarter of coverage for each two quarters elapsing during this time. A "quar- ter of coverage" is simply a calen- dar quarter in :which you are paid at least $30 in wages under social security. Where the number of quarters of coverage required would figure less than 6 or more than 40 quarters, the law says you must have at least 6, or on the other hand that you need not have more than 40. If you were born on or before July 1, 1875, you will need only six quarters of coverage in order to re- ceive a monthly old-age insurance payment. If you were born after January 1, 1892, you will need 40 quarters of coverage in order to be fully insured and to get a payment at age 65. This rule tells how to figure the quarters of coverage you need, but quarters of coverage may be earned at any time, even after 65. During the war some persons past 65 went to work for the first time under so- cial security and became eligible for monthly retirement benefits. Spends Week-end With Son Mrs. Marie H.

An estimated 16,000,000 veterans are entitled to a share of the $2,- 800,000,000 fund, and the VA is working overtime in an effort to get the checks to the veterans en- titled to them according to the pres- ent schedule, which calls for the first checks to be sent out about the middle of January. When pay- ments start, checks are ,expected to go into the mails at the rate of 200,000 per day. More than 12,000,000 applications for dividend, payments have been received in Washington since appli- cation forms were made available last August 29.

JOE'S MOST COMPLETE STOCK Creditors of State Hope Sales Tax .Will Pay Up Back Bills Payment of Some Bills Postponed Because General Fund of State Is In Red Creditors of the state are keep- ing their fingers crossed these days until the first outpourings of the new sales tax start coming in this month. Comptroller C. M. Gay has given orders to postpone payment of a number of bills for 60 t-o 90 days because the general fund of the state is already operating in the red. He had told the cabinet this fund, which pays most of the state's bills, already owes for more than it has. There will be enough, he said, to pay the welfare and school needs and to meet state salaries. The pinch will be tighter than usual this year, he said, because the legislature diverted cigaret and gasoline tax money to cities and counties that otherwise would be available now to pay state bills. The sales tax to make up the dif- ference hasn't yet started to ar- rive in Tallahassee in any volume. Christmas Held' Twice Yearly If children instead of their par, ents were allowed to choose the family homesite, toe tiny fishing vil- lage of RodazitheM N.' C., would .be- come a metropolis overnight. Here's a place they celebrate two Christmases every year. Santa Claus, his reindeer scam- pering over the sands of North Carolina's 'outer banks, makes his first stop 'in Rodanthe during his annual world tour on the night of December 24. Hardly have the chil- dren recovered from their oversup- ply of candy and wild duck when Santa returns in time for "Old Christmas," which for hundreds of years Rodantheans have celebrated on January 5. This time, however, Santa is accompanied by a menac- ing ogre, known as "Old Buck," who takes care of the bad children while Santa administers to the good. The historical background of "Old Christmas" is uncertain. It may be a throwback to the Gregorian calen- dar or it may have started as a celebration of the Twelfth Night- when the wise men came to Bethle- hem bearing gifts for the Christ child-that somehow got off sched- ule a day. Elsewhere the Twelfth Night is celebrated on January 6. But those celebrations are far dif- ferent from Rodanthe's "Old Christ- mas," which only in recent years has been supplemented by the ob- servance of December 25. The average adult person drinks approximately a ton of water every year. ERROR OF GRAVE IMPORT We can't take the blame for it, since that's the way the judges gave it to us, but in last week's Star a very grave error was made in the winners of the Kids' Day turtle race. Seems the judges listed Al- len Wilson as owner of the second' place steed when ft should have been Stephen Allen Whealton. His turtle (must have been a "she") carried the name "Petunia."

Our Country Right or Wrong DO YOUR YULE SHOPPING AT HOME With Thanksgiving out of the way and Christ- mas just around the corner, with shoppers al- ready beginning their annual splurge of holiday .buying, we'd like to point out a.. few facts. Requirements of the family shopper at this time of the year are large and varied, from soup to nuts to turkey for the big dinner, and gifts of every description for members of the family and relatives and all of these things? may be found right here in Port St. Joe, which leads us to say, as we have said it innumerable.. times in the past: It'll pay you to buy it in Poitlt.

Why drive to Panama City, Marianna, Tallahassee or Do- tthan to buy the same merchandise you can get -right here at home? You'll save money,, because travel costs money. And, too, -you get complete satisfaction, because youlrlocal merchant knows you and is right there if your purchase isn't sat- isfactory. Trade in Port St. Joe and help build your com- inunity.

They were on a hunting trip out from Douglas Landing and on the way back to the landing their mo- tor broke down. John Robert Smith came along and offered them a tow, which was gladly accepted, as Leo was making small headway rowing. Smith had towed their boat about 300 yards when the bow went un- der, and the boat, of light plywood construction, went to the bottom due to weight of the motor on it. Kennedy rolled clear of the boat and yelled at his wife to hold on to the side of it. She did-but failed to let go as the boat continued to sink. Leo said she was three feet uwier 'water, still lining to the boat, when he got to her. The boat and motor were sal- vaged, but the Kennedys lost two guns. Leo says he has two life pre- servers that he has always carried in the past on boat trips, but never having had any use for them, he left them home on this trip.

All the scholarships are loans, but each holder will have a year's loan can- celled for every year he teaches af- ter graduation. Genuine religion is conspicuous because it lacks display. STATE SALES TAX HITTING IZAAK WALTON DISCIPLES The state sales tax has invaded the realm of those hardy, and lazy, disciples of Izaak Walton-sports fishing. A ruling by State Comptroller C. M. Gay states that the owner of a boat rented for fishing must collect the 3 per cent tax for its rental. And that isn't all-fish bait also is subject to the tax.

IN MEMORIAL GODSPEED By Kaye Starbird Wherever you have gone, we wish you well. Only our grief can give us cause for weeping. If death is but a 'rest and a last sleeping, There is no blade of grass that can- not tell The quiet you deserve. All of your days You held life like a candle white and high, Strong in the wind and proud against the sky. Now that the flame is blown, we speak no praise, But only truth, saying that when you passed You left a greater darkness. We believe That you have gone to more than sleep, and live Holding somewhere a whiter candle fast In deathless hands. These things we cannot tell. Only this much we know: We .wish you well.
