1 and 2 between this city and Chat-

Chatham Named On

All-Conference Team

Considered Best All-Around Tackle
In N. W. Florida; Three Other
St. Joe Sharks Mentioned

Philip Chatham, junior, of the
Port St. Joe high school football
team, one of the best allaround
backs in the Northwest Florida
Conference, was placed on the of-
ficial all-conference squad of 22
men at a meeting of coaches held
last Saturday in Bonifay.
Chatham's record indicates why
he was selected by the coaches as
a member of the "dream" squad.
He scored a total of 10 touchdowns
and made three extra points for a
grand total of 63 points during the
season. He was also on the passing
end of most of the local aerial at-
tempts and then did most of the
punt returning for the Sharks. His
teammates had voted him the most
valuable team player at their an-
nual banquet last Friday night. He
will also be co-captain for the team
next season, which will be his final
here, as he will graduate during
the spring of 1951.
Gene Chism, senior, and a hard-
playing end, was given honorable
mention by the coaches. Gene was
one of the best pass receivers on
the local squad.
J. B. O'Brian, a rugge' guar'bA4
hard tackler, was also given the
honorable mention honor, as was

Monument Widening

Bids To Be Let Dec. 20

Federal-State Project Will Be Big
Asset To Port St. Joe In
Several Ways

Rep. George Tapper informs us
that he has been advised by the
state road department that bids on
the widening and paving project on
Monument Avenue will be let on
December 20.
The project, which extends from
Ninth Street to the A. N. railroad
track at First Street, will include
pavement, curbs, gutters, sidewalks
and storm sewers.
Tapper, who has been working
on the project for the past four
years, states that it will be a big
asset to the city in that it will pro-
vide adequate drainage in the busi-
ness district along Reid Avenue.
No action has as yet been taken
by the city on the property con-
demnation proceedings, and as City
Attorney C. G. Costin and Mayor
Jake Belin were both out of town
yesterday as we went to' press, we
do not know what arrangements; if
any have been made with the prop-
erty owners involved.

USO Fund Campaign

To Open In County

Quota Set At $500; Chairman Tom
Coldewey Plans Dance
As Part of Drive

Tom Coledewy has accepted the
chairmanship of the Gulf county
USO campaign, it was announced
yesterday by George Tapper.
The United Service Organizations
has been called back to duty, at the
request of President Truman and
the secretary of defense, to serve
the 1,600,000 members of the na-
tion's peacetime armed forces, said
Coldewey. The amount of money
needed for USO service center op-
erations in the United States and
overseas and to provide entertain-
ment for veterans in military hos-
pitals throughout the country is
$12,100,000.
Gulf county has been asked to
contribute $500 as its share of the
national USO campaign goal.
"The recall of USO to national
service is a testimony of its seven-
year record which won it the wide-
spread confidence and affection of
all our service men and women,"
Coledewey said. "The USO was the
symbol of the nation's concern for
the men in uniform and pride in its
armed forces. It was a two-way
thoroughfare connecting every mil-
itarTy road-. with Main Street, USA.
"USO asks us to remember that
funds raised in Gulf county will be
serving our own men and those
from other Florida communities
through USO clubs and facilities
when and where they need it most.

Our Country Right or Wrong

DEALING IN FUTURES
(ED NOTE: We don't think much of the "canned".
editorials sent. out by the Christmas Seal com-
mittee, so we decided to write one of our own.)
The world of tomorrow is something which
catches the imagination of all of us at some par-
ticular time. We like to envisage its planes and
contours, the achievements of science, what Port
St. Joe and Northwest Florida will be like fifty
years froim now, aud the perfection of man which
will fashion the terrestial realmh nearer to our
idea of Utopia.
We hope that the world of tomorrow will be a
better place in which to live than the world of
today-that our experience and tlhat of those who
have gone before us will have smoothed out the
rough places for our children and for our chil-
dren's children.
From out of the box of Pandora, disease came
to blight the hopes and happiness of mankind,
even as the scourge of yellow fever laid low the
ancient city of Saint Joseph a hundred years ago.
In our world of tomorrow each one of us would
want to reduce suffering and illness to the least
possible minimum. At this time of year we have
an opportunity to be practical about that desire.
It is one thing to wish and another to do. Christ-
inas Seals are now on sale and have been mailed
to practically everyone in Gulf county-Christ-
mias Seals which have sponsored a movement for
many years to bring about a worthy goal-the
gradual eradication of tuberculosis.
Our world of today is still struggling against
a powerful enemy in this dread disease. Tomor-
row's world need have none of it if we have a
real desire to conquer it. Buy Christmas Seals!

111 YEARS OF PROGRESS
Saint Joseph, site of the constitutional conven-
tion which drew up Florida's first organic law,
which was signed on'December 11, 1838, has
:gone with time, but in its place we have Port St.
Joe, a virile, hustling seaport and industrial cen-
ter making a nation-wide bid for recognition, a
healthy youngster that is going places among
Florida cities.
During the 111 years that have passed since
that momentous event took place at old Saint
Joseph, Florida has progressed at an amazing
speed and kept pace with national progress until
today it is outstanding for its tourist attractions,
agricultural and industrial development.


TEN YEARS AGO
From the Files of The Star

Two Whistling Buoys
Word has been received that two
whistling buoys will be placed in
St. Joseph's Bay, one at the chan-
nel entrance and one inside the
bay.
Constitution Anniversary
Signing of the state's first con-
stitution here 101 years ago will be
commemorated Monday when the
residents of this and neighboring
cities gather at the Centennial Au-
ditorium in observance of the event.
The American Legion post will hold
a flag-raising at 9 a. m., and at 8


Looking back at the impressive celebration
staged here in 1938 marking the 100th anniver-
sary of the signing of the constitution, we feel a
bit sad that our people did not see fit to continue
this observance from year to year, commemor-
ating in revived memory the deeds of those who
worked to hew this great state out of a wilder-
ness and achieved things which make the march
of progress a little more definite a little less
wearisome.

WE ARE DISAPPOINTED
Editor Hanlon of the Gulf County Breeze
failed us miserably in his "comeback" in re our
editorial two weeks ago replying to his editorial
on our "Why All the Secrecy?" His outpouring
was so insipid there was hardly a thing into which
we could get our editorial teeth. However, he
did say that "Bro. Smith, like practically all the
rest of Gulf county voters, just wasn't interested
in the trustee election, and after reading the no-
tice of election, proceeded to forget it. And the
inference here is that the voters were thoroughly
satisfied with the school trustees as was and is."
. We know that a considerable number of the
qualified voters in this neck o' the woods did not
read the notice of election in the Breeze, as they
have informed us, as we stated previously, that
had they known there was to be an election they
would have gone to the polls and cast their bal-
lots, as all good citizens who take an interest in
their county and city government should do.
We have not said that the voters are not sat-
isfied with the school trustees, but we did state
that a lot of the voters felt that some advance no-
tice should have been given, in order that anyone
desiring to- run for trustee could qualify and
have their names placed on the ballot-and the
logical place for such notice would be in The
Star, regardless of whether it be a news story or
a paid advertisement.
We, personally, like our present trustees, but
we do believe that it should have been our priv-
ilege, had we been so inclined, to qualify and
enter the race for trustee.
Editor Hanlon's refusal to joust with us takes
some of the joy out of life. Reminds us of
our boyhood days. We were about 15, and our
dad, editor of a morning paper, had many appar-
ently bitter editorial run-ins with the editor of
the evening paper. We read these editorials
avidly, and they were humdingers, as it was in
the days of "personal" newspapering. Our
dad took us to the 1915 World's Fair in San
Francisco, and upon our return about ten days
later, we found that a bitter editorial battle, be-
gun before we left on the trip, was still continu-
ing We asked our dad "how come" and he
informed us that the editor of the evening paper
had carried on editorially for both papers while
he was out of the city. That's when we dis-
covered that editorials of this type were merely
for consumption of the reading public and didn't
mean a thing: between publishers. Seems
our dad and the other editor for years had been
meeting two or three times a week to indulge in
chess ,games-and probably talk over what they]
would call one another in future editorials.

These cool, zippy mornings we are having put
wim, wigor and witality into the old chassis.

Christmas is just around the corner!

Sharit will call the gathering to

Football Season Over
The football season ended last
week for the St. Joe sharks when
they played the Wewahitchka De-
mons. The score was 18-8 in favor
of St. Joe when the Demons for-
feited, making the score 1-0.

Japs Tried To Fire Pacific Forests
Proof that forests are valuable to
a nation in time of war is the fact
that the Japs tried unsuccessfully,
with free ballons carrying incendi-
ary bombs, to set fire to the great
forest lands on the Pacific coast
during World War II.

Closed Season On
Mullet Is Effective
Saturday Midnight
Florida's 40-day statewide closed
season on mullet goes into effect at
midnight tomorrow (December 10).
George Vathis, state supervisor


Of conservation, says that agents of
his department would begin en-
forcing the ban on taking fish Sun-
day, but that dealers would be given
until December 16 to dispose of
stocks on hand.
After the five-day grace period,
no fresh or fresh-salted mullet can
be possessed or sold until the sea-
son opens again January 20. This


will affect wholesale fish houses,
retail stores and restaurants alike.
Dealers, however, may handle
frozen mullet, provided it is pro-
cessed before the season closes. All
seafood businesses will be required
to report the quantities of frozen
fish they have in storage as soon
as the season closes. Regular re-
ports also will be required on


stocks subsequently removed from
storage.
Vathis warns retailers and res-
taurants not to handle mullet un-
less they have invoices to prove
that the fish were legally frozen.
"The closed mullet season isn't
going to be winked at this year,"
he said. "It's going to be enforced
to the last letter of the law." Va-


this said several dealers and fisher-
men had complained that the law
hadn't been enforced properly in
the past.
The statewide mullet law, long a
bitter issue among commercial fish-
ing factions, was adopted by the
1947 legislature.

Possible To Be

Well Fed Yet Very

Badly Nourished

Is CaIsed Through Unwise
Choice or Poor Prepar-
ation of Food

Few people realize that it is pos-
sible to be well fed and at the same
time very badly nourished. A per-
son can eat a great deal and still
not get enough minerals and vita-
mins necessary for healthy living,
through unwise choice or poor
preparation of food.
The housewife is usually respon-
sible for making the most of every
meal to provide her family with
proper nourishment, which she can
do by choosing foods from what nu-
tritionists call the "basic food
groups." These include dairy prod-
ucts, meats, poultry, fish, yellow
and green raw and cooked vege-
tables, potatoes, cereals and breads,
butter, cooking fats; and sugar.
'These foods contain protein for
,building and repairing body tis-
sues, carbohydrates for restoring
energy, calcium for building bones
and teeth, and iron for blood cells.
When prices are high, it is par-
ticularly important to shop care-
fully for food, but the housewife
,can select the less expensive meats
and vegetables without depriving
. her family of needed food elements.
Proper cooking is as important
as intelligent planning and wise
Shopping. Nutritionists say that
many American women destroy and
waste nutritional elements by faul-
ty preparation. For example, when
vegetables are boiled too long in
too much water, valuable vitamins
and minerals are destroyed. To
preserve their full value, vegetables
should be dropped in just enough
boiling water to prevent them from
sticking to the pot, covered tightly
and cooked quickly until they are
tender.
Meat has been a particularly ex-
pensive basic food, but the wise
-housewife can save by frequently
serving the less costly cuts. Fish
and poultry can be substituted from
time to time for the more expen-

sive cuts of meat.
Eating expensively is not neces-
sarily eating well. A little extra
time and trouble spent in planning,
shopping for and cooking the fam-
ily food will mean more nutritious
and tastier meals and more reason-
able bills.
Not A True Pine
The so-called Australian pine, of
which many are planted in Port St.
Joe, is not a true pine at all, but be-
longs to the hardwood group as dis-
tinguished from the soft woods or
conifers.
---------
A Lot of Lumber
During the past 80 years, around
112,000,000,000 board feet of lum-
ber have been taken from the for-
ests of Florida.


HALLFORD GETS Th.D. DEGREE
R. F. Hallford, former pastor of
the local Baptist Church, writes us
from Chicago, Ill., that he has com-
pleted his work toward his doctor
of theology degree. "This means,"
he writes, "that I now have the fol-
lowing degrees: A.B., Howard Col-
lege, Birmingham, Ala.; Th.B., Th.
M., Christ Seminary (Mount Ver-
non University), Washington, D.
C.; Th.G., Th.D., 'American Bible
College, Chicago, Ill."

Stronger Than Teak
Tests made in India have shown
wood from the Australian pine to
be stronger than teak wood.

Bill Monroe and Blue
Grass Boys Coming To
This City Next Week

Outfit Is One of Top Drawing Cards
of the WSM. Grand
Ole Opry

Bill Monroe, together with his fa-
mous Blue Grass Boys, who will ap-
pear in person on the stage of the
Port Theater next Thursday, De-
cember 15, is one of the top draw-
ing cards of the WSM Grand Ole
Opry. His ability to "reach way up
and get the high ones" is one of the
things that contribute to the out-
standing popularity of this radio
and recording artist.
Starting in radio back in 1930,
Bill joined the Opry"'ln 1939, arid
achieved almost instantaneous suc-
cess. Ever since he'has steadily in-
creased his popularity, both on the
air and in the hundreds of public
appearances he makes each year.
The-music of the Blue Grass Boys
seems to be exactly what a great
many people want. At present the
Blue Grass Boys are 'made up of
Don Reno, banjo; Max Wiseman,
guitar; Joel Price, bass; Max Car-
ger, who sings, and of course, Bill.
Monroe began as a siiger in
church-work, whean-he-was-a. boy,
and as a result, many of his most
popular melodies today are hymns
and songs of a religious nature.
However, he is also famous for
such things' as the "Mule Skinner
Blues" and similar tunes, and the
boys can whip up some fine comedy.
Others appearing with Monroe at
the Port are String Bean, the Ken-
tucky Wonder and the one and
only Max (Lullaby) Terhune and
the world's smallest cowboy, Little
Elmer Sneezeweeze.

Social Security Tax
Rate Up January 1
Just to remind employers and em-
ployes of an additional slice to be
taken out of their incomes, we call
-attention to the fact that the fed-
eral old-age tax rate increases on
January 1, 1950, to 11/%% of the em-
ploye's wages, payable by the em-
ploye, and 1%% of the employer's
payroll, payable 'by the employer.
Taxable wages will still be lim-
ited to $3000 per employee in the
calendar year.
Present rates are 1% paid by the
employee and 1% paid by the em-
ployer.
The rates will increase as of Jan-
uary 1, 1952, to 2%, and under the
law would go to 2%% and 3% in
succeeding years, but a bill now up
for consideration in congress would
make the 2% rates effective Janu-
ary 1, 1951, and would increase the
rates further beginning in 1960.
In Panama On Business
Mrs. A. D. Lawson, Mrs. C. E.
Boyer, Mrs. E. C. Pridgeon Jr., and

Army Engineers Turn
Down Apalach Channel
Protests On Decision Will Be Re-
ceived In Washington Un-
til January 11
Stating that the benefits would
be insufficient to justify the costs,
army district engineers Monday
turned down a proposal for a new
channel across Apalachicola Bay.
The project was to construct a
ship channel 30 feet deep and 300
feet wide from Gorrie bridge across
the bay and St. George Island to
deep water in the Gulf of Mexico.
The board of engineers in Wash-
ington, D. C., will receive protests
on the decision until January 11.
Rejection -of the channel project
means that, Port St. Joe would be
the logical port outlet for the Ap-
-alachicola-Chattahoochee-Flint riv-
ers .development.

Education Program

Started In Florida

Against Socialism

Associated Industries Will Endea-
vor To Show Citizens Advantage
of Our American Way of Life

The editor of The Star is glad to
find that someone in our state has
at last realized that it is about time
to take stock of Socialist and Com-
munist infiltration into this great
commonwealth of ours and to take
some definite action in the matter.
We are referring to the Associ-
ated Industries of Florida, with of-
fices in Jacksonville, an organiza-
tion made up of large and small
businessmen from all sections of
the state.
We quote below, in part, the in-
itial statement of the association:
"It has been said that enterpris-
ing Americans created the greatest
economic system and the greatest
system of government the world
has ever seen only to abandon
-their creation on the steps of the
Sakialist reformers.
'ISaid Socialist reformers, never
gi ,d- been able to create anything
of practical value themselves, have
nevertheless taken advantage of
this opportunity and have taken
this healthy, but neglected, off-
spring of individual enterprise to
their collective bosoms. Having no


knowledge of the conception or na-
ture, of this creation, they natur-
ally have prepared the wrong form-
ula-a formula of dependence, of
regimentation, of loss of individual
liberty a formula of certain
tragedy.
"As an established organization
of business men we have decided to
do something about it. We believe
that this lusty little brat-private
enterprise-is still healthy and with
proper attention, sympathy and un-
derstanding, can yet throw off the
poison virus of Socialism.
"We are now ready to release the
details of a program of education.
A practical, non-political program,
designed to show all our citizens
the advantage of our American way
of life.
"We offer our facilities and our
complete co-operation to all citizens
and like-minded organizations."

CHATHAM NAMED

(Continued from page 1)
showed four victories, four losses
and one tie. After opening the sea-
son by playing the big Quincy team
to a scoreless tie, the Sharks were
hard-hit by injuries to the -rather
small squad and ended the season
with only 15' men who were con-
sidered to, be varsity material. The
team scored 192 points against 109
for their opponents.

Rupert McKee Member
of Infantry Dog Platoon

The editor of The Star is in re-
ceipt of a photograph showing Cpl.
Rupert McKee of this city with his
dog, "Arzo," sent to us from Darm-
stadt, Germany.
McKee is a member of the 42nd
Infantry Scout Dog Platoon, made
up of 27 picked men and their dogs.
The dogs, all shaferhunds, were
purchased from German civilians
after being tested for their powers
and abilities to learn and obey.
The dogs are trailed, fed and cared
for by one man only.
After completion of the 17-week
training schedule, the platoon will
be attached to .the 26th Infantry
Regiment, but will be a completely
separate unit.
