Polio Appeal To

Open In County

Next Monday

Annual, Fund Raising Cam-
paign To Continue Thru
January 31

A record number of civic and so-
cial organizations in Gulf county
have united to carry the 1950 March
of Dimes campaign through its most
crucial test, says Henry Campbell,
county director of the March of
Dimes committee. The annual fund-
raising drive of .the National Foun-.
dation for Infantile Paralysis will
open next Monday and continue
through January 31, ending with a
birthday ball sponsored by the Pa-.
per Makers Union.
Epidemic aid funds of the na-
tional foundation, Campbell said,
were depleted by 1949's record high
infantile paralysis epidemics in
which more than 40,000 children and
adults were stricken with-the dis-
ease. These funds were expended
not only in caring for new cases,
but in continuing treatment for
thousands of patients stricken dur-
ing the serious outbreaks of 1948.
"We are faced with the 'cer-
tainty that about 17,000 victims of
1949 must be cared for during most
of 1950, the greatest carry-over case
load in the 12-year history of the
national foundation,' the March of
Dimes county director stated. "That
alone calls ,for. a record-brea1ing-
campaign. But, further, we must
stand ready to help.-iew victims of
outbreaks we know will hit many
areas next summer-possibly, right
here in Gulf county.
"When we add to all this', the
cost of continuing vital rea;eai': li

Building Permits for

Year Total $450,000

Exceed 1948 By $315,907, Indicating.
Continued Growth and Expan-
sion of Port St. Joe

Building permit totals are always
indicative of growth and. expansion
of any community, and such being,
the case, Port St. Joe is still grow-
ing-and rapidly-for the total of
building permits issued during the
past year by the city clerk's office
exceeds those of 1948 by $315,901..
During the past twelve months
20 permits were issued for a total
of $450,076, as compared with 17
permits issued during 1948 for a to-
tal of $134,175, according to Clerk
Ben Dickens, who compiled the fig-
ures for The Star.
Among the larger permits issued
were $161,000 for 'the new school
plant going up near the Centennial
Auditorium, $81,181 for the recently
completed municipal building at
the corner of Williams Avenue and
Fifth Street, $63,425 for the new
colored school, $16,970 for the Wim-
berly Motor Company building at
Monument Avenue and Second, and

NEW SUBSTATION UNITS GIVES CITY MORE JUICE


-" .. .. : .-i .; .. *.,.:.. _.. ....

In order to keep pace with the rapid growth of Port St. Joe, the Florida
Power Corporation last Friday installed three new transformers at the
local substation, increasing the output from 1000 KVA to 1500 KVA.
Size of the new 500 KVA units may be seen when the one on rails at
the right of the picture is compared to the old 333 KVA unit in the cen-
ter. The installation work was done by Bob Taylor and Dick Parrish
and their crew, from Winter Park. Efficiency of their work of instal-
lation can be realized when power for the city was cut off, for but eight
minutes during the change-oyer. Rich Porter, local manager, states
that the new units should- take care of the growth of our city for the
next two' years. -Photo by Maige.

Kiwanis Hears Talk On.

Juvenile Delinquency

Speaker Urges Development of Ed-
ucational and Recreational
Facilities

Port St. Joe Kiwanians heard a
discussion on juvenile delinquency
ald the accompanying duties and
responsibilities of the public at
their weekly luncheon meeting at
Hotel St. Joe Wednesday noon.
This was given by Probate Judge
Robert L. McCrary of Marianna,
who is also an active Kiwanian.
The speaker challenged the club
members to develop better recre-
ational a n d educational facilities
for the youth of the community in
order to decrease the causes for
juvenile delinquency. He also ex-
pressed the belief that parents
could do much toward making the
lives of youngsters more abundant
by simply taking up more time with
them in their search for happiness
and enjoyment.
An added attraction on the pro-
gram were musical selections and
several' stunts presented by three
boys from the Florida Industrial
School at Marianna.

Plans Develop
For Decennial
Nose-Counting
Greatest Doorbell Ringing
Campaign In History of
State Opens April 1
Next April 1 will see the greatest
doorbell-ringing campaign in Flor-
ida's history get underway when
the census bureau sends out 2,296
persons to count the state's popula-
tion and assemble other facts and
figures.
The organizational setup for the
17th decennial census in Florida
will include Onumerators directed
by crew leaders under the super-
vision of district supervisors. Area
supervisors will head up the over-
all picture.
Beginning on April 1, the census
takers will assemble facts on popu-
lation, homes and farms. Eight dis-
trict offices will 'be set up in the
state-at Jacksonville, Orlaado, Mi-
ami, Sarasota, Pensacola, Tallahes-
see, Tampa and West Palm Beach.
Gulf county, along with Calhoun,
Franklin, Gadsden, Jackson, Jeffer-
son, Leon, Liberty and Wakulla,
will come under the Tallahassee
district office, which will employ
13 district office workers, 11 crew
leaders and 155 enumerators, for a
total of 179.
Personnel for the district offices
will not be employed until a few
weeks before the counting job be-
gins April 11, and no enumerators
will be hired until late March.
The nose-counting is expected to
take about two weeks in. the urban
areas and about a month in the
rural sections. Agriculture forms
will be sent to farmers in advance
by mail and the completed forms
will be picked up by the enumera-
tors when they come around to ask
the questions on population and
housing.
The result will not be known for
some time. It is now planned to
submit the official population fig-
ures for each of the states to the
president on December 1, 1950. It
will be December 31, 1952, before
all reports analyzing the census
picture in detail are completed.
The 1940 census showed Florida
had a population of 1,897,414. It has
increased heavily since then, how-
ever, and a recent estimate showed
the state will be able to have seven
instead of the present six congress-
men.
Oldsters Most Likely
To Be Traffic Victims
Due To Fact They Do Not Allow
the Time To Cross Street That
Their Slower Pace Demands
"Pedestrians who are 65 years or
older are 11 times as liable to be
killed in traffic as persons between
the ages of 25 and 44," Director H.
N. Kirkman of the Florida High-
way Patrol said, in stressing the
necessity for elderly people to be
extra cautious in crossing streets.
"Reasons for this appalling pe-
destrian death rate among our old-
sters are that they do not allow the
time to get across the street that
their slower pace demands, that
they sometimes try to hurry and
fall in front of approaching ve-
hicles, and that they do not watch
carefully enough for approaching
cars," Kirkman explained.
"Too frequently, elderly people
depend upon vehicles to slow down
or stop for them," he said, "not re-
alizing that the driver may not see
them or may not be able to stop in
time to avoid hitting them."
Plywood Comparatively New
Commercial 'plywood as known
today dates from 1905, when it was
first produced in St. Johns, Oregon,
although the art of "veneering" was
known to the early Egyptians.

THE STAR, PORT ST. JOE, GULF COUNTY, FLORIDA'


State Retailers Assn.
Says Warren Attempts
'Purge' of Legislature
Avers Governor Inappropriately Se-
lected Holiday Season To Sep-
arate Sheep from Goats
"Throwing discretion and sports-
manship to the wind, Governor Ful-
ler Warren inappropriately chose
:the holiday season to attempt a
purge of the Florida legislature,"
says a special bulletin received this
week by The Star from the Florida
State Retailers Association. "The
governor's separation of the 'sheep
from the goats' was indeed a classic
blunder," the report to 6000 retail-
ers in the state declares.
"Purges and the theory that the
king can do no wrong are foreign to
the American way of life," the bul-
letin continues. "It was a sad day
when they became a part of the
Florida political scene. The right
to honest differences of opinion is
still a precious American heritage."
Titled "A Purge By Any Other
Name Smells Just As Bad," the bul-
letin declares that the governor's
radio address of December 26 dis-


closes that he keeps two lists of
legislators-his approved list and
"the other one." "Inasmuch as his
address is its own worst indict-
ment, we are reproducinig it for
wide distribution," adds the bullet-
tin.
"Casting aside all other consid-
erations, including greater effici-
ency and economy in state govern-
ment operation, the governor's in-
dictment of 16 senators and 39 rep-
resentatives was based on only one
issue. Most of these legislators are
men who, unlike the governor, had
made and then KEPT their pledges
to the people of Florida. Many of
them held the conviction that busi-
ness-like administration of affairs
of the state should precede addi-
tional tax burdens."
The association's message to the
merchants of Florida made special
mention of the fact that all May
primary candidates for the legisla-
ture, seeking election or re-elec-
tion, must declare themselves and
qualify by not later than January 31.
Many Municipal Forests
Since 1710, when the first com-
munity forest was begun in the U.
S., over 4000 municipally-owned for-
ests have come into existence ix
this country.

the rear deck provide a longer,
heavier, road-hugging appearance

simplified and made more massive.
It consists of two large horizontal

over the nameplate.
Described as "Packed with value
and ready to prove it," the new
Plymouth was characterized by D.
S. Eddins, president of Plymouth,
as "The greatest car value we
have ever offered the public."
"When we speak of value," Ed-
dins said, "we mean that we have
combined beauty with sensible styl-
ing, that we have achieved big-car
performance with small-car econ-
omy, and that the mechanical ex-
cellence of which we have always
been proud has maintained its high
level."
The front and rear tread have
been increased, 'a factor which in-
creases stability, eases tire loading
stress on curves, and enhances the
car's general appearance. Thirty-
two per cent larger than on pre-
vious models, the new rear window


for the gauge dials, speedometer,
radio dial and clock. The gunmetal
finish is also used on the radio
grille screen. There are larger ro-
tary switch knobs which are easier
to operate.
Features for performance, com-
fort and safety which were pre-
viously introduced in the Plymouth
line have been retained. The car
has characteristic interior roomi-
ness. ample head and leg room and
wide, deep chair-height seats. The
six-cylinder, 97-horsepower engine
has a 7 to 1 complession ratio. The
combination ignition and starter
switch, automatic electric choke,
super-cushion tires, safe-guard hy-
draulic brakes and the safety-rim
wheels are among the "high-priced
car" features contained in the new
Plymouth.
The new Plymouth line includes
nine automobiles in the Special De-
Luxe and DeLuxe groups. Special
DeLuxe models are the four-door
sedan, the club coupe, the station
wagon, and the convertible club

FRIDAY. JANUARY '13, 1950 THE STAR, PORT ST. JOE. GULF COUNTY, FLORIDA


Writer Says Florida

Has Best Racing Law

In the United States

Points Out It Gives Specific
Benefit To Practically
Everyone In State

Because it ear-marks the reve-
nue for the counties and the ola
age pension fund, "Florida has one
of the most equitable and intelli-
gent racing laws in the country."
This opinion on the Florida racing
law is expressed by one of the na-
tion's leading sports writers, George
Krehbiel, in a series of articles in
the Detroit News.
The Florida law "gives specific
benefit to practically every person
in the state," writes Krehbiel.
"Thousands of Floridians, who have
never seen a horse race derive
heavy financial' benefit from the
races, and they have come to look
forward to this annual harvest of
racing tax dollars as important in
their lives in the communities in
which they live."
There are four horse tracks ini
Florida. Hialeah and Toopical Park
are located in Dade county, Gulf-
stream in Broward, and Suansine
Park is in Hillsborough. "Yet these
three revenue-producing counties,
receive no more revenue from the
racing tax dollars than do the
other 64 counties, regardless of
their populationn" it is pointedout
in the articles. "The funds allotted
to counties' are divided equally
among all 67 counties.".
Of every dollar wagered at Flor-
ida horse tracks, five cents goes to
the old-age pension fund, and three
cents to -the counties. Each county
.j,dcides as to how its racing reve-'
nue-which totaled .l2A.40 last year
-will be used.

lHearing To Be HeldlNixXt.
SWednesday on Appeal of
A. N To Kill Doodlebug

Since no notice of further post-
ponement of the hearing before the
railroad and public utilities com-
mission of the application of the
Apalachicola Northern Railroad Co.
to discontinue operation of the
"Doodlebug" in passenger and ex-
press service has been received, we
take it for granted that it finally
will be held next Wednesday at 10
a. m. in the court house at Ap-
alachicola.
A number of interested citizens
of Port St. Joe have expressed their
intention of attending the ringg
to protest disconltinuance of service
and they will also carry with them
a petition bearing a lengthy list of
names.
Representatives of other com-
munities served by the railroad will
also be on hand.

Residents of City In
Tizzy Over New Cars
Now On Display Here

Hordes of Prospective Purchasers
Dashing Frantically Up and
Down Automotive Row

New car.addicts of Port St. Joe
and vicinity have been in a heady
whirl all this week trying to keep
up with the new 1950 model cars
on display and checking the new
improvements.
Getting a slight jump on competi-
tors was the Wimberly & Barrier
Pontiac Company, which had one
of the new Pontiacs on display the
previous week.
Then came the McGowin Motor
Company with the new Dodge line,
followed with announcement of the
new Plymouth, which' was put on
display yesterday.
C. R. Garraway had the new line
of Chevrolets for customers to look
over last Saturday, ,and parking
space in front of his car emporium
was at a premium.
And, of course, Otto Anderson's
Ford dispensary was open as usual,
although the new Fords came out
some time back.
Out at the M. G. Lewis & Sons
Garage on the Panama City high-
way Hilton Lewis has been proudly
displaying the new line of step-
down Hudsons, not to mention the
International Truck line.
All in all, it has been a busy week
for those car owners and mebbe-so
car owners who like to keep up
with what's new in the automotive
line.

and the educational programs of
the national foundation, it becomes
clear that only a united community
effort can boost the March of Dimes
to a total sufficient to do a job al-
most twice as big as ever before."
The challenge will be met in Gulf
county, Campbell predicted, even as
it.has inpast years.
The coin collectors this year are
in the form of miniature iron lungs.
"When we fill these miniature res-
pirators," said Campbell, "we help
to empty the real iron lungs."

Franklin Chandler Named
To State Safety Council
At the request of Governor War-
ren, who last month reactivated
the governor's safety council, an
organization formed to save lives
in Florida, Mayor Jake Belin this
week named Franklin W. Chandler
as safety chairman for the city.
In replying to Warren's letter,
Mayor Belin said: "Mr. Chandler
has shown a great deal of interest
in the welfare of the citizens of our
community, and I know he will
work with your safety council just
as diligently and with all the en-
thusiasm and interest that he has
shown here.
"The city commends you for re-
activating the safety council. If
any of the city officials of Port St.
Joe can assist you in the program,
please call on us for whatever help
you think is necessary."
