Kenney Named As

Chairman of Board

For Ensuing Year

All Road Work, for First Time
In County's History, Is Un-
der One Commissioner

At the regular monthly meeting
of the board of county commission-
ers last Tuesday, Basil E. Kenney
Jr., of this city was elected as chair-
man of the board for the year 1950.
Jim S. Daniel was named as vice-
chairman for the ensuing year, and
Cecil G. Costin Jr., of this city, and
F. M. Campbell of Wewahitchka
were reappointed as attorneys for
the board and as county prosecut-
ing attorneys, there being no other
applications filed for these posi-
tions.
One of the most startling changes
inaugurated at this session of the
board was the appointment, for the
first time in the history of the
county, of one commissioner to be
in charge of- all road work in Gulf
county for the year 1950. Named to
this responsible position was Com-
missioner J. S. Daniel. During the
next 12 months each commissioner
with road problems will refer them
to Mr. Daniel. In the past, commis-
sioners superintended road work
in their respective districts.
Among other business transacted
by the board at this time was the
reappointment of T. D. Whitfield as
county road superintendent for the
ensuling year.

New High Urged

For Dimes Drive


County Polio Campaign Di-
rector Urges Everyone To
Double Contributions

The 1950 March of Dimes must
hit a new high "if the nation is to
undo the ravages of the blackest
toll of infantile paralysis in its his-
tory," Henry Campbell, Gulf county
March of Dimes director, said yes-
terday in urging everyone to double
their contribution to the drive this
month.
The year 1949, said Campbell,
was the most severe in the 12-year
history of the National Foundation
for Infantile Paralysis. With more
than 40,000 persons stricken, epi-
demic aid funds of the National
Foundation were virtually depleted,
he pointed out, and it was neces-
sary to conduct an emergency.drive
for the first time in the organiza-
tion's history.
"The financial problems involved
in caring for polio victims are in-
creasingly difficult, not only be-
cause of widespread epidemics, but
also because of soaring medical and
equipment costs," he said.
"Only an enormously successful
March of Dimes appeal, which is
scheduled for January 16 to 31, will
enable the National Foundation to
provide, continuing care for the
thousands already stricken while at
the same time preparing for any
eventuality 1950 may bring. The
year 1949 has taught us that we
must be alerted for extremes."

Terror Thrillers

Began' "Way Back

Not New Development, But
Had Beginning In
Early 1800's
Stories of panthers and Indians,
terrified sleep-walkers, and ghostly
voices commanding "Keel her!" are
not only the province of today's
radio thrillers, according to Dr.
Harry Warfel, English professor at
the University of Florida, Gaines-
ville. Instead, they are all in the
American tradition, and have their
roots in the melodramatic terror
novels of a little-known writer,
Charles Brockden Brown.
Dr. Warfel has found that many
of the plots, situations and the ter-
ror techni:iuns of squeaking doors
and screams go back to 1800, when
a Quaker novelist in Philadelphia
was scaring the daylights out of
his readers with such books as "Ar-
thur Mervyn," "Wieland" and "Or-
mond."
"Brown was the American inter-
preter of the Gothic novel," said
Warfel. "He influenced Poe and
Hawthorne, and his influence is
still with us. Brown used natural
phenomena, like sleep-walking, ven-
triloquism, identical twins, a n d
spontaneous combustion to get a
supernatural effect. The possibility
of human spontaneous combustion
was then widely discussed. It was
thought that a certain percent of
brandy in the stomach would cause
the breath to ignite, and the body
to explode and burn up from
within!"
"Fiction was frowned upon in
those days," continued the profes-
sor. "Brown did much to make it
respectable. His story, 'Edgar Hunt-
ley,' which includes a murder, In-
dians, caves and a sleep-walking
boy, was a forerunner of Scott and
Cooper, and of today's radio serials
that small boys love."
According. to Warfel, Brown is a
minor classic, but story-telling has
come a -long way since 1800.
"Brown was much too concerned
with preaching. He introduced too
many characters, used too little
dialogue, and had too many people
,killed with pen-knives. The average
radio drama of today is a better
story. But remember that by 1820
probably only 150 American books
had been written in all, and fiction
was considered the deviFs handi-
work."

Signs To Be Erected On
Burned-Out Woodland
Will Read "Look What Fire Did"
To Attract Attention of

Florida motorists, passing recent-
ly burned-out woodlands, will soon

FLORIDA SETS AN EXAMPLE
The state of Florida is now demonstrating that
it intends to plan its future without running to
the federal government for help.
Florida wants industries and payrolls which
are suited to its resources. Years of just talking
about adding industry to the state's economic
foundation of agriculture, fishing and the tourist
trade has ended, and action begun. Governor
Fuller Warren recently named a Florida Indus-
trial Development Council, made up of nine top-
flight, practical business men and the heads of
seven state agencies. He charged them with the
responsibility of "getting desirable industrial
payrolls."
The council was formed with complete disre-
gard" of political and partisan considerations. It
will function independently of the state govern-
ment. It will not seek the "smoke stack" type of

Two New Voting Precincts
The board of county commission-
ers at their regular meeting Tues-
day, carved two new voting pre-
cincts from District 7-Port St. Joe
precinct. This action was found
necessary due to the increase in
population here in the past two and
a half years and gives the county
eight polling places. The new poll-
ing places will be located at High-
land View and Kenney's Mill.
New City Fire Truck On Way
Chief Troy Jones stated yester-
day that he had received word from
the American-LaFrance Corporation
at Elmira, N. Y., that the new fire
truck for the city had been shipped
December 29 and that it should ar-
rive here about January 12.

industry in future, such as the St. Joe Paper
Company mill, as those would not be exactly
suitable when it comes to dragging in the tour-
ists. As an example of the desired type, the man-
ufacturers of watches and other precision instru-
ments has been cited, along with fabrics, cloth-
ing, food-processing, etc.
Florida, of its own volition, and with its own
resources, is displaying its opportunities to both
industry and labor in the fields where 'they can
make use of its special advantages.
The editor has long been opposed to federal
grants for this and federal grants for that, and
this is a highly refreshing spectacle to us-and it
is a far cry from the type of thinking which asks
the federal government and all the taxpayers to
step in and foot the bill when a state or a city
wants something. With this action, Florida is
showing the nation the right way, and the typic-
ally American way, to get things done.
We've been "riding" Fuller for okehing the
pernicious sales tax, but we'll give him a great
deal of credit for setting up this industrial de-
velopment council, which we hope and trust will
work out according to plan.

Behind this social security drive is the idea
that the more the people get, the better satisfied
they will be. Actually, the more they get, the
more they want for nothing.-Yoakum (Texas)

Congress seems willing to raise the pay of
nearly everybody working for the government.

LETTERS
TO THE EDITOR


Editor The Star:
We wonder if the people of Port
St. Joe really know what a wonder-
ful little city they live in?
Now you take folks like us-we
have traveled all over the United


States and, so to speak, know all
the "crossroads." You just don't
know how wonderful it is to gome
into a town, being strangers, and
have the pleasure of everyone being
as nice as folks in Port St. Joe.
When you go into a store here to
shop, the clerks are so courteous
and they make you feel so welcome
that shopping is really a pleasure.
Now, St. Joe citizens, just pause


for a few minutes and think of the
things that make your little city so
outstanding to a stranger's eyes:
First, is the cleanliness of the city,
the fine churches, schools, and your
beautiful new municipal building.
Then nature has added her touch
of beauty by the bay waters along
the waterfront and beach.
Miles before entering Port St.
Joe, coming from Panama City, you


can see the paper mill that stands
so staunch and steady-kind of re-
minds you of the Statue of Liberty
in New York harbor; when the mill
is blowing out steam she seems to
be saying "this is my town, my
people work here, and I'm protect-
ing them."
Yes, St. Joe folks, just look about
you and be proud of your home
town. And don't think that this


summer, when we're traveling in
the midwest, eastern and northern
states that we won't praise to the
skies and tell folks everywhere we
travel of the swell place and the
wonderful people who live in Port
St. Joe, Florida.

What Can The People Believe?


When the anti-trust lawyers in Washington filed their suit to put the A&P out of business, they immned~tely
handed out for all the newspapers of the United States a story giving in detail their "allegations" against
this company.
When we published advertisements giving our side of the case, they protested, even though they had made,
and have continued to make, in newspapers, in speeches and over the radio these charges that would seri
ously7damage our business, if they were believed by the public.
Every week millions of American housewives patronize A&P stores. Many of them would no .want to deal
with the kind of people that the anti-trust lawyers represent us to be.
We think we have a right to protect this 90-year old business which has made it possible for millions of
American families to get more and better food for their money, which is providing high-wage employment
for 110,000 Americans and which is helping millions of farmers to improve the methods of distributing
their produce.
No answer by us would be necessary if the anti-trust lawyers were always right.
But they, like all other -human beings, can be wrong.
In this case we know they are wrong.
They have been wrong before.
In case after case they made charges against A&P which were proved in court to be utterly witKout found'
dation.
We will prove that statement right up to the hilt.
The anti-trust lawyers tell the public that they won a previous anti-trust suit against us at Danville, Illinois.
They did.
What they do not tell you is that they brought case after case against the A&P in federal courts all over
the United States. Before they won this case they suffered three defeats.
The anti-trust lawyers have told everybody about the time that the courts said they were right. We think
you are entitled to know about the three times the courts said they were wrong.
Now we are going to tell you about the first one. In future advertisements we will tell you about all of them.




The Washington Bread Case

'In April, 1941, the anti-trust lawyers brought a criminal suit in Wash- So here was a case in which the anti-trust lawyers made seriously damaging
ington, D. C. charges against the A&P, in support of which, in the words of the court,
They charged that the A&P, two grocery chain competitors, two labor they did not have "any evidence at alL
unions and other good American citizens had conspired to fix the price
of bread. This was not the only time the anti-trust lawyers made charges against

These charges were false. The anti-trust lawyers say that they are not attacking "bigness" or
efficiency. They have to say that because the courts have decided that

Study Underway

of Heart Disease

Among Children

Disease Ranks As Number
One Killer, Says State
Health Board

A study to find out the number
of cases and type of heart disease
there are among Florida school
children has been started by the
"state board of health, according to
Dr. Frances Read, director of the
heart disease control program.
Announcement of this new effort
to combat heart disease comes on
the heels of a report made by the
state health agency that heart dis-
ease continues to be Florida's num-
ber one killer.
Dr. Read points out that last
year the lives of 6,903 persons were
claimed by heart disease-125 in-
fants under one year of age died of
congenital malformation of the
heart, while apoplexy caused the
death of 2,442 persons.
She said that in order to study
the situation among school chil-
,dren, a representative group in Es-
cambia county, ranging in age from
10 to 19, will be given complete
physical examinations. Special em-
phasis will be placed on the heart
to determine the incidence,-various
types of heart disease, and the nor-
mal heart tracing in healthy chil-
dren.
The study is under the direction
of a well-known cardiologist, Capt.
Ashton Graybiel, U. S. Navy Medi-
cal Corps. Two state health depart-
ment heart technicians are assist-
ing with the work.
"We feel that this program will
be very beneficial in helping lower
the death rate from heart disease,"
Dr. Read declared. "It is also im-
portant because there is no diag-
nostic center for congenital mal-
formation of the heart south of Bal-
timore."

Mrs. duPont Makes Gift
of $400,000 To Colleges

The Rt. Rev. Frank A. Juhan of
Jacksonville, Episcopal bishop of
the Florida Diocese and chancellor
of the University of the South, Su-
wannee, Tenn., stated last week
that the university had received a
gift of more than $140,000 in value
from Mrs. Alfred I. duPont.
Other southern colleges receiving
gifts from Mrs. duPont at the same
time were Washington & Lee Uni-
versity and Hollins College, both
in Virginia. The gift to Washington
& Lee was said to be the same as
that to the University of the South,
while the gift to Hollins is said to
have exceeded $120,000 in value.
It is understood that Mrs. duPont
has made other "significant" con-
tributions to these three institutions
in past years, and she is reported
to have indicated that she hopes to
be able to make further contribu-
tions in the nekt few years.

THE O


Times Seem To Be

Changing Rapidly,

Says Bill Traweek

Turn of Half Century Finds
'Young Bill' Worrying
About Changes
The editor of The Star ran across
Bill Traweek on New Year's Day
and asked him how he was doing.
(As far as we know, Bill is some-
where between 99 and 111 years
old, but to look at him and talk
with him, you'd say he was in the
neighborhood of 25, especially when
some young girl passes by with a
pair of calves or a sweater that ap-
parently belongs to Lana Turner).
"You know," said Bill, "it seems
to me that they're building stair-
cases steeper than they used to.
The rises are higher, or there are
more of them, or something.. Per-
haps this is because it's so much
farther today from the first floor to
the second floor, but I've noticed it
is getting harder to make two steps
at a time any more. Nowadays it is
all I can do to make one at a time."
"Perhaps you're getting old," we
suggested to Bill. "How are your
eyes? Can you still read The Star
without your glasses?"
"Well," said Bill, "that's some-.
thing I've wanted to talk to you
about. Seems the print you're using
in The Star lately is mighty small.
Seems all newspapers are getting
farther and farther away when I
hold 'em, and I have to squint to
make 'em out. The other day I had
to back half way out of the tele-
phone booth down at Major Hobbs
place in order to read the number
on the pay telephone. It's obviously
ridiculous to suggest having some-
body read aloud to me-that's not
too satisfactory, because people to-
day speak in such a low voice that
I can't hear them very well."
"Is that all that is bothering you,"
we asked.
"Well, no," said Bill. "Everything
is farther away than it used to be.
It's twice the distance from my
house to the mill at Kenney's than
it used to be-and they've added a
fair-sized hill that I never noticed
before. (We could have told him
that it was merely the rise over
the railroad tracks, but he wouldn't
have believed us.)
"A lot of other thing are differ-
ent, too," said Bill. "George Cooper
in the barber shop no longer holds
up a mirror behind me when he's
finished, so I can see the back of
my head, and my wife has been tak-
ing care of tickets lately when we
go to the Port Theater.
"Creech Brothers nor Costin's
don't put the same materials into
clothes any more, either. I've no-
ticed that all my suits have a ten-
dency to shrink, especially in cer-
tain places, such as around the
waist or the seat of the pants, and
the laces they put in shoes nowa-
days are much harder to reach."
Thinking to get Bill off his own
personal problems, we asked him
what he thought about the weather.
"Even the weather is changing,"
said Bill. "It's getting colder in the
winter, and the summers are hotter
than they used to be. I'd go away-
if it wasn't so far and I had some
place to go to. This here rain in
Florida is wetter today than the
rain we used to get up there in
Blountstown 10 years ago, and I've
got to put on my rubbers when I
go out. Drafts are more severe,
too. It must be the way they build
the windows today."
"Well, how are people today,",we
asked this aging 'octogenarian.
"People are changing, too," said
Bill. "For one thing, they're much
younger than they used to be when
I was their age. And, too, they seem
to be more polite than in my rime
though-several young sprouts have
called me 'Sir' recently, and one of
them on Christmas Day asked me
if he could help me across Reid


Two Men Lose Lives
Fishing At Burgess
John C. Tipton of Springfield was
drowned Thursday of last week
while fishing in Burgess Creek, and
his body was recovered shortly af-
ter the accident.
A second fisherman, E. R. Tra-
wick of Chipley, also lost his life
Saturday while fishing in Burgess.
Trawick's wife was with him when
the boat overturned, and members
of a nearby fishing party helped
Mrs. Trawick to shore, but were
unable to rescue her husband. The
body was recovered about three
hours later.

Return Home After Visit Here

turned to Fitzgerald, Ga., last Fri-
day after a visit of two weeks here

Avenue."
"How do people in your own age
bracket seem to you this first day
.of the half century?" we asked Bill.
"Well," he said, after cogitating
for'a minute or two, "people my
own age seem to be much older
than I am. I realize that my genera-
tion is approaching middle age (I
define middle age roughly as the
period between 21 and 110), but
there is no excuse for the boys I've
been working with for years with
Baasil Kenney. tottering into a
state of advanced senility. I ran
into one of my old friends at Le-
Hardy's Bar the other day, and he's
changed so much that he didn't
even recognize me.
"I got to thinking about poor old
Jimmie McCall while I was shaving
this morning. I stopped for a mo-
ment and looked at my own reflec-
tion in the mirror-they don't seem
to use the same kind of glass in
mirrors any more."
"Bill," we said, in our most sym-
patheic voice, "you don't realize
it, but you're getting just a little
bit old. We've had a few of the
same symptoms, but we don't be-
lieve they'll get as bad as yours for
another fifty years."
