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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

Social Security Payments
For Aged Is Explained

To receive monthly old-age insur-
ance payments at the age of 65, the
payee must be "fully insured," and
must file an application, according
to the Social Security Administra-
tion.
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. Taylor spent the
holiday week-end in Mobile, Ala.,
with her son and family, Mr. and
Mrs. .1iarris Taalor.

No GI Refunds To Be
Made Before January

Word from the Veterans' Admini-
stration says that those refunding
dividend checks will not reach vet-
erans of World War II in time to
be used for Christmas shopping.
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.

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."

DO YOUR YULE SHOPPING AT HOME
With Thanksgiving out of the way and Christ-

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. Joe!
By trading with your local merchants, you'll
save time-and time right now is of the essence,
since you'll have less and less of it as .,the day
for Mr. Claus to drop in grows nearer. 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-

Mrs. Kennedy Has Narrow

Escape On Hunting Trip


Mrs. Leo Kennedy almost left the
land of the living Wednesday of
last week via the watery route
when the boat in which she and
Leo were being towed went under.
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.

AWARDED AMOS LEWIS
TRAINING SCHOLARSHIP
Tom Owens Jr., of this city has
been awarded a $400 Amos Lewis
teacher training scholarship by the
state board of education. He was
among 40 Floridians receiving the
award, the state cabinet approving
18 house, 7 senate and 15 Lewis
scholarships.


Holders of the Amos Lewis schol-
arships must attend one of the three
state-supported colleges. 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

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.

Wednesday Closing

Is Called Off Until

After Christmas

To Better Serve Holiday Shoppers;
Expect To Have Street Lights
Put Up Next Week

Business houses in Port St. Joe
have discontinued the regular Wed-
nesday afternoon closing until after
Christmas in order to better serve
holiday shoppers during this busy
season of the year.
As previously stated, all stores
in the city will be closed Monday
December 26, and Monday, Janu-
ary 2, since Christmas and New
Year fall on Sunday.
The St. Joe Merchants Associa-
tion hopes to begin putting up the
overhead street lights next week,
which will add much to the festive
appearance of the downtown shop-
ping district. The association has
raised $185 toward the purchase of
additional strings of lights, and
this amount will be matched by the
city. The city and the St. Joseph
Telephone & Telegralih Company
will assist in stringing the lights.

Among those named as unit offi-
cers for freshmen men's dormitor-
ies at Florida State University, is

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.
Ned, Bob, Susan, Venice Gainous.

Only Deer We Know Of
A lot of hunters have trekked
many weary miles since opening of
the hunting season, but to date the
only deer we have heard of was
