Balmy Weather

Brings On Early

Baseball Fever

Plans Underway To Improve I
Park, Elect Officers and
Line Up Players

This warm spring weather we're
having in the dead of winter has
brought on the annual siege of base-
ball fever a bit earlier than usual,
to hear local fans talking, and we
are informed by Alton Dendy, one
of the team directors last season,
that a baseball meeting is to be
held within the next two weeks to
select a manager and name officers
for the coming season. The time and
place of the meeting will be pub-
lished in The Star, and all inter-
ested persons will be invited to be
in attendance.
Plans are shaping up for improve-
ment of the new ball park, now but
partially completed, including rais-
ing and sloping the infield and out-

St. Joe Gets $1,566

From Cigaret Taxes

City Clerk Ben Dickens Estimates"
Total Yearly Payments Will
Be Approximately $18,000

The city of Port St. Joe's first
check from the five-cents-per-pack
tax on cigarets arrived this week
from the state, coiiptroller's, office,
according to City Clerk Ben Dick-
ens, and amounts to $1,566.26.
Clerk Dickens estimates that the
city's yearly income from this tax
should run somewhere in the neigh-
borhood of $18,000 yearly.
In comparison with nearby cities,
St. Joe didn't do so bad. Apalachi-
cola received $1,240.34; Panama
City, $9,051.29; Blountstown, $1,-
190.64; Wewahitchka, $342.34. You
people up there in Wewa better be-
gin smoking more cigarets.

Guilford To Distribute
Sealtest Products Here

C. E. Guilford, well known dairy-
man 6f this area, has been named
local distributor for Sealtest milk,
according to H. J. Turner, manager
of Southern Dairies, Inc., Marianna.
Turner emphasized that Southern
Dairies' policy is to foster the
growth of local enterprise in the be-
lief that co-operation between large
and small business is the founda-
tion for future progress in the dairy
industry.
The introduction of the complete
line of Sealtest products in this sec-
tion marks another step in the com-
pany's plan to encourage locally op-
erated sales outlets for its nation-
ally known brand of milk.
"Sealtest dairy products enjoy
wide acceptance throughout the na-
tion because of rigid standards of
quality and sanitation under which
they are processed. The Sealtest
symbol assures the consumer of the
finest dairy products that can be
produced," said Turner.

Oysters Are Fast

Growers In Water

Of Apalach Bay

Research Discloses Bivalves
Show Phenomenal Growth
In Short Period of Time

As the result of weekly tests con-
ducted during the past year by re-
search workers of the state's oyster
cultivation division of the depart-
ment of conservation, it has been
found that the waters of Apalachi-
cola Bay are capable of producing
in five weeks .oysters of a size equal
to those which have been growing
for a year in Chesapeake Bay.
This statement was made by Rob-
ert Ingle, who is in charge. of the
rehabilitation of the Apalachicola
area's once-rich oyster fields. He
and his crew have been working in
nine experimental areas studying
the factors of wind, tide, salinity
and material for the young oysters
to cling to.
Using this, the state's first oys-
ter cultivation district, as a meas-
uring stick, marine biologists and
state conservation authorities be-
lieve Florida's economy can be in-
creased greatly as a result of the
sale of edible seafood taken from
Florida waters.
The industry already is valued at
more than $50,000,00, and Dr. F. G.
Walton Smith, director of the oyster
cultivation division, believes that
Florida eventually could sell more
than $100,000,000 ,worth of seafood.
In discussing the, possibilities for
Florida's increased seafood produc-
tion, he said that it was the belief
of some of the experts in his de-
partment that schools of jumbo
shrimp offshore, not now suscep-
tible to catching, left the rocky bot-
tom to a sub-surface line, where
kite trawls could take them in mid-
winter. This, he said, while still
theoretical, is feasible and would
add tremendously to the gross reve-
nue of the industry.
It was emphasized that the pri-
mary purpose of the whole study
program was to show private busi-
nessmen hbw to grow oysters of
high quality in the shortest possible
time, and not just to plant oysters
for catchers to take from the local
waters.

Gulf Hardware Is Low

will be on a Dodge chassis from the
McGowin Motor Co., and includes
a two-stage pump, finest grade of
fire hose, and all necessary equip-
ment.
Other bids were entered by the
McGowin Motor Co., $8,157.60, with
Howe equipment; St. Joe Motor Co.

Game Preserve of Game Refuge Will


70,000 Acres Set

Up In 3 Counties

State To Lease Hunting Priv-
ileges and Stock Area
With Game

The state game and fresh water
fish commission Monday at the an-
nual reorganization meeting held in
Tallahasse, entered into an agree-
ment with owners of 70,000 acres of
land in Gulf, Bay and Calhoun coun-
ties for establishment of a game
management and refuge area ex-
tending into the three counties.
The refuge begins at the CCC
road east of Wetappo, and its south
border extends along the Panama
City-Wewahitchka highway to the
CCC road west of Sandy Creek.
From, there its limits extend sixteen
miles north, then east to a point
near Clarksville, and then south to
.the point of beginning.
The land is owned by the St. Joe
Paper Company, International Pa-
per Company and several smaller
land owners. The commission will
lease hunting rights in the area for
$1.00 and restock it with game. A
consolidated stock of turkey already
roams the area, and local backers
of the project state the commission
plans to release 50 deer this spring.
As soon as the game supply is con-
sidered sufficient, the area will 'be
opened to hunting, Meanwhile, it
will aid, to some extent, in provid-
ing/game in adjoining areas.
Officers of the,, Dead Lakes
Sportsmen's Club and representa-
tives from Gulf and Bay counties
were instrumental in obtaining ap-
proval of the commission for the
project.
Attending the session at Tallahas-
see Monday were George Tapper,
Harlan Pridgeon and Claude Lister,
Gulf county; Judge Roy Gaskin,
Calhoun county, and Joe Mathis,
George McCall and Jesse Cogburn,
Bay county.


Examinations Given

66 At Clinic Held Here

For Crippled Children

Sponsored By Willis V. Rowan Post
116, American Legion, and
Auxiliary

Eight adults and 58 children from
Gulf, Franklin and Bay counties
were examined last Friday at the
annual three-county crippled chil-
dren's clinic held here under spon-
sorship of Willis V. Rowan Post
116, American Legion and Auxiliary
in the new Legion home at the cor-
ner of Third Street and Williams
Avenue.
Five of those examined were rec-
ommended for immediate treat-
ment and four were recommended
for surgery. They will be sent to
the American Legion homer for
crippled children in Pensacola and
later transferred to a hospital.
In attendance at the clinic were
Dr. L. C. Fisher Jr., orthopedic sur-
geon, and Dr. E. V. Anderson, pede-
atrician, both of Pensacola; Miss
Carol Blair, R.N., Tallahassee; J.
D. Gillespie, brace fitter, and Mrs.
Susie Spencer, R.N., orthopedic
field nurse for the Florida crippled
children's commission for the past

President's Ball

To Climax 1950

March of Dimes

Girl Scouts Taking Collection
At Theater As Polio Drive-
Draws To Close

With the 1950 March of Dimes
drawing to a close, Local No. 379,
International Brotherhood of Paper
Makers, is climaxing the drive with
a Birthday Ball tomorrow night at
the Centennial Auditorium and al-


tablishment of a game management ready have sold enough tickets to
and refuge area, the future status practically jam the large dance


of hunting ,and fishing in Gulf
,county takes on a new light.
This opinion was expressed by
Allan LeGrone, wildlife officer of
Gulf county for the past seven
years. Along with -LeGrone, two
other game wardens, Harlan Prid-
geon and H. E. Helms, are con-
stantly on the job in the interest of
helping hunters and fishermen en-
joy the wildlife supply which this
county has, and also of helping con-
serve the fish and game.
LeGrone said that conditions in
Gulf county are greatly improved
in regard to hunters and fishermen
taking their full limit in their quest
for fish and game. Although the to-
tal number of arrests are higher
for such things as fishing without
a license and for.exceeding the bag
limit, the percent of arrests are not
nearly so high as in past years, due
to the much larger number of peo-
ple engaged in the sports.
The proposed game management
and refuge area will make much
more game-available for hunters in
this section of the state. As for the
supply of fish, LeGrofie estimates
it is not nearly so plentiful as sev-
eral years ago, but he says that
Gulf county still is much better
stocked than most other Northwest
Florida counties.
An interesting fact about the
number of people fishing in Gulf
county is that visiting sportsmen
from Bay county account for ap-
proximately 65 to 70 per cent of all
anglers plying the waters of Gulf
county, and that only about 10 to
15 per cent of the fishing is done by
Gulf county natives. The balance is
done by visitors from nearby North-

Few Candidates Qualify
For Forthcoming Election

A check with Clerk George Core
at Wewahitchka yesterday morning
reveals that few candidates have
qualified to date for the various of-
fices to be filled by Gulf county
voters at the forthcoming election.
Seeking re-election to the board
of county commissioners are Basil
E. Kenney Jr., from this district,
and Jim Daniels from district two.
Grady Manasco has qualified in
thle race for member of the school
board from this district, seeking
the seat now held by L. P. Sutton,
who has also qualified.
In the representative in the legis-
lature column we have only the
name of the incumbent, George G.
Tapper. However, it is expected
there will be one or more qualify
for this contest before the deadline
on February 1.

ADVANCE TIME OF MEETING
Due to the fact that the circuit
court will be setting the second
Monday in February, the board of
county commissioners will hold its
regular February meeting on Tues-
day, February 7.

City Calling for Bids On
Drilling of Water Well

If you've been cussing the city
water supply lately (and just who
hasn't?) one of the main causes for
the red water, we understand, is
due to the fact that the wrought
iron tip on the well now in use has
rusted out and is letting mud get
into the filter plant. This wrought
iron point was put on as an econ-
omy measure back in 1937 when
the well was put down.
To remedy this situation, the city
is calling for bids on replacing of
the iron tip with a bronze tip, or
the drilling of a new well approxi-
mately 130 feet deep together with
necessary pumping equipment -
whichever is cheaper.
Estimates on replacing the well
point range from $2500 to $6000,
while cost of putting in a new well
is placed at between $6000 and
$8000.

COUNTY REGISTRATION
BOOKS ARE NOW OPEN
Mrs. C. G. Rish, county supervisor
of registration, announces that the
registration books are now open in
the various precincts for voters
whose names are not now on the
books. A notice to this effect will
be found on page 10 of this issue.
This information was sent The
Star last week but did not arrive
until Thursday noon-too late for
insertion in last week's issue.

GAME REFUGE

(Continued from page 1)
west Florida counties and from Al-
abama and Georgia.
Probably the main reason for Bay
county furnishing the majority of
the anglers is due to that county
not having many suitable places to
drown a worm.
A warning that many people are
still careless in 'their actions as to
wasting fish is shown in a recent
check made by the game wardens.
A spot check was made of approxi-
nmately 100 boats along a 16-mile
stretch from Willis Landing to Ber-
man's Slough on the Brothers River
and it was found that there was an
average of four bream which had
been thrown back into the water
from each boat because they were
too small.
In order to enjoy but still con-
serve what we have, the officers
urge all hunters and fishermen to
be willing to use common sense
and obey the laws and regulations
which are designed to give all
sportsmen an even break.

PRESIDENT'S BALL

(Continued from page 1)
to dig deeper than ever before this
year for the polio drive, Henry
Campbell, county campaign direc-
,tor, said: "Last summer the nation
experienced its worst infantile par-
alysis onslaught in all its history.
More polio cases were reported than
in the 1947-48 period, and 1948 in
itself nearly equalled the all-time
record for polio in any one year.
"When the total bill for care and
treatment of polio patients last year
is rendered, approximately $31,000,-
000 in March of Dimes funds will.
have been spent for this purpose
alone."
Pointing out that the March of
Dimes is the sole means of under-
writing the national foundation's
service, Campbell stressed the need
for redoubled participation in the
1950 March of Dimes.
"Gulf county must do its share to
back this enlarged fight against a
cruel disease concluded Campbell.

DEAR SHOPPERS' Much as it costs, it's hard to keep from
talking about Editor Bill. The telephone rings and he punches us
for this copy! Why, he don't even give us time to think, and now
we've got to write this without thinking (Ed Note: We were un-
der the impression that's the way you always wrote it, Glenn).
When you take a loQk at our ad in the opposite column you'll see
we are doing mighty little thinking anyway. Slash! Bang! Boom!
and here we go again with the big Half Price Broom sweeping
the season's deck clear of merchandise that would only be in the
way for the next eight months. Maybe you think it doesn't make
sense, but you can bet your boots it'll mean money in your pocket!
We're thinking about ways to serve you best during the coming
season and this is one-move that will help. While this sweeping
is going on we are also welcoming fresh, sparkling, colorful new
merchandise that keeps us all pepped up. Doris: Dodson, Marcy
Lee, Peg Palmer, Jollie Junior and Ricki Reed Dresses. .
Curlee Suits and by the way have you heard the
noise we're making with Gabardine Suits priced at $22.50? .
Frankly, it's the biggest Clothing Boom that ever came our way.
We're glad to see the men folks taking to these like a bream to a
wiggler. Watch out, ladies-you're going to see the ol' man all
dressed up and ready to go! Wish we had space and time to tell
you about hundreds of other new things that really make this sell-
ing game worth while, but Editor Bill's gonna gripe still more when
he Tattles this copy. A
Yours Signing Off With Reluctance,
R. GLENN BOYLES.

Our Country Right or Wrong

SOCIALISM BY THE BACK DOOR
Will this country gradually adopt socialized
medicine by the back door?
Current legislative developments give that
question pertinence. The strongest kind of pres-
sure has been exerted on behalf of the compul-
sory health insurance bill. However, so much
public opposition has developed that its sponsors
think other tactics may prove more fruitful for
the time being.
As an example, the senate has passed and the
house may soon vote on a bill which has received
little attention, authorizing federal grants-in-aid
to medical schools. Under the terms of it, the
surgeon general would decide what schools were
to get the money, in what order, and in what
amounts. He would work with a council, but its
function would be advisory only. All the real
power of action and decision would be vested in
one man. The medical schools would have to
come to him, in the scramble for funds.
If the government pays the bills-in this or any
other matter-the government is eventually going
to give the orders. That is inevitable. Such a
measure, innocuous as it may seem to some,
would be a pert-_ct starting point for legislation
which would subject our medical schools to po-
litical administration in all phases of their ac-
tivity.
Still another measure which has passed the
senate and is now in the house would make the
government responsible for the physical and
mental health of all school children between 5
and 17. That may have an appealing sound-yet
can anyone doubt that it would become a plank
in the house of socialized medicine?
That point is that socialism usually comes to
nations on a piecemeal basis. These bills indicate
the plan'to be used in this country.

Navajo Indians, incapable of understanding
what a million is, call it a "big thousand." Looks
like the situation has got away beyond the simple
Navajos.

Boogie-woogie music may be dying, according
to some, but it's making an awful death rattle.

It's easy to fix the blame for an auto accident,
but fixing the car is something else.

Keep smiling-nothing is as bad as it seems.'


WE ARE CANNIBALS
The New Deal and the Fair Deal have taught
us to be cannibals. We are eating up each other.
This is what we do when we take from those
who earn, through taxation, and give it to those
who do not earn, but will presumably vote right.
The right by powerful force of taxation to
strip a person of what he has earned and accumu-
lated and give it to the fellow who will vote and
work to keep the "reactionaries" and "Tories,"
who style themselves "liberals" and "progres-
sives," in power, until such time as they can dis-
card the nuisance of elections and establish the
dictatorship under the welfare state.
It is not much different from the right of a fel-
low to enter your hen coop and steal your chick-
ens. They are property, you know, and the fellow
who enters is human. It is the right of a fellow
who wants something to take from the fellow
who has it, and the beauty of the Fair Deal is
that it makes, by law, a patriot and a humani-
tarian out of the fellow who steals the chickens
and a crook out of the owner who squawks,
That is the New Day. The Kingdom of Heaven
on Earth. The Millenimum, with Karl Marx in-
stead of Christ, the ruler. That is the Welfare
State, until it gets established, and then, since
the government owns all the chickens, both are
crooks, and the Communist politicians feast on
all the chickens. Maybe the wings and the necks
will be thrown to those who do not object to be-
ing pushed around.-Jacksonville Chronicle.

GOVERNOR NOTES WOODS BURNING
This week we commend Governor Fuller War-
ren for the fact that he has taken official notice
of the burning of woods, when he called upon
the sheriffs to investigate woods fires, reminding
them that most such fires are criminally set and
adding that "You, as law enforcement officers,
know the way to stop a criminal from operating
is to arrest and prosecute him."
The governor is right. It is a crime to set fire
to the other fellow's woods. Woodlands belong
to the owner. It is his privilege to burn it or keep
it "rough," and if he is interested in growing tim-
ber he naturally wants to keep it rough. To burn
it against his will is wrong, criminally wrong,
and is, as Governor Warren points out, a job for
the sheriff. The sooner someone is caiiilht and
convicted, the quicker such practices will cease.
-Holmes County Adthci-tiset.

WONDER WHAT HE SAYS NOW?
While setting the "Ten Years Ago" items from
the January 26, 1940, issue of The Star, we ran
across this editorial:
Robert Millaken of the California Insti-
tute of Technology states that we already
know how to make fuel from coal, so that
when our oil supply is depleted we can fall
back upon that for a substitute, and when
that is gone we shall get power indirectly
from the sun, from the wind and tidal ma-
chines, and by growing and burning plants
for just that purpose. But, says he, "So far
as tapping the energy locked up in the atom
is concerned, we can count that out." And
here we were looking forward to the day
when we could drop a handful of sand into
our motor car and make a complete tour of
the United States without replenishing our
fuel supply.

Experts Say Gulf
Fishing Bussiness
Can Be Boosted
Propose Systematic Program To
Study Marine Life and Locate
New Fishing Grounds
At a meeting of the Gulf states
marine fisheries commission held
last week in Tampa, it was stated
that while the Gulf fishing busi-
ness now is nearly a $200,000,000-a-
year business it can be made even
larger.
J. L. Baughman of Rockport, Tex.,
said snapper, flounders, sharks and
fish of the mackerel family are not
being produced to the fullest extent
in the Gulf. He said new types of
fishing gear and techniques could
be studied to boost production with-
out crippling the overall amounts.
He also reported there are tuna
in the Gulf and that studies should
be made to see whether there are
enough to support a tuna industry.
Dr. J. Nelson Gowanlech of New
Orleans observed that' menhaden-
a fish used for vitamin oils and
meal (and which, by the way, are
found in huge quantities arounil
Port St. Joe)-offers great oppor-
tunities in the Gulf. He said that
last year more than a billion pounds
of the fish were caught. He added
that this was the biggest haul of
fish anywhere in the western hem-
isphere and that production is just


beginning in the Gulf area.
The New Orleans biologist also
suggested that improved ways of
catching crabs be studied.
The five-state commission, which
is a co-operative-program between
the states and the federal govern-
ment to explore new fisheries and
develop conservation practices, met
in Tampa for a two-day session to
recommend a program of research
to be undertaken by the U. S. Fish
and Wildlife Agency.
H. E. Crowther of Washington,
chief of exploratory fishing of the
fish and wildlife agency, proposed
a systematic Gulf program to in-
clude studying all marine life, and
a plan to locate new fishing beds.

Gov. Warren Author
of News Article In
Commerce Journal
Points Out That Florida Is Growing
In All Directions and Has
Much To Offer
Governor Fuller Warren authored
an article recently for a special
edition of the New York Journal of
Commerce, pointing out that "Flor-
ida is growing in all directions."
The article follows:
The word for Florida is "growth"
-growth in population, in income,
in trade, in industry.
Florida offers unparalleled oppor-
tunity for profitable, industrial and
business investments. For example,
while other states have experienced
a downward trend in retail sales,
bank deposits and farm cash re-
ceipts, 1949 witnessed continuing
increases for Florida in these fields.
Perhaps the best single indicator
,of over-all business activity is the
state-wide record of bank debits.
Bank debits in the six Florida fi-
nancial centers through September
1949 were up 2% over the debits for
the same period of 1948.
Florida is now at midpoint in sea-
son of its three greatest industries
-citrus, winter vegetables and bour-
ists. Reports show new highs in all
three, and the outlook is good.
Spectacular increases in sale of
concentrated orange juice are ex-
pected to continue, with about 25,-
000,000 boxes of oranges going into
this product this season.
This industry, incidentally, typi-
fies the opportunities inherent in
Florida's dynamic economy. Three
years ago we produced only 200,000
gallons of orange concentrate. Two
years ago it jumped to 2,000,000
gallons; last year it was 10,000,000
gallons; this year it will reach close
to 30,000,000 gallons.
The state has taken steps to pro-
tect its citrus market by instituting,
this year, very high maturity stan-
dards for the shipment of citrus
fruits. A new grower and shipper
organization, Florida Citrus Mu-
tual, representing most of the state's
production, has been formed to
make for more. orderly marketing
of citrus products. It is expected
-the organization will be an import-
ant factor in stabilizing prices.
Our fabulous winter vegetable
crop is expected to break new rec-
ords. Cash receipts of Florida farm-
ers for 1949 are up 13% over 1948,
as compared with a national de-
cline of 10%.
We are beginning to solicit indus-
try more intensively. Thousands of
business men. and industrialists
have come to Florida in the past to
take advantage of its expanding
:markets, its wealth of natural re-
:sources. There are, however, many
(opportunities as yet unexploited,
andf as governor I have just re-
cently established the Florida State
Industrial Development Council,
consisting of nine .top-flight indus-
trialists, who will guide the work of
presenting these industrial oppor-
tunities to the nation.
We have much to offer-climate,
a healthy and stable labor force,
cheap transportation, ample power,
a. tax structure that, is exceedingly
favorable to industry-Florida has
no state income tax, no state ad-
valorem tax, no state bonded debt.


Joe Sharit Jr., To Receive Degree
At mid-year commencement ex-
ercises of the University of' Florida,
Gainesville. the night of February
4, Joseph L. Sharit Jr., of this city
will be awarded an LL.B degree. A
total of 731 degrees will be con-
ferred by the university at that
time.

School of Driver Education
The University of Florida will
conduct from January 30 to Febru-
ary 5 a short course for high school
teachers in "Driver Education," in-
tended to instruct them how to
teach and turn out safe auto drivers.
Initiative is a combination of en-
ergy and brains, but blah blah and
bustle can sometimes fool people.


Lance Gets, Second Star
It's Major General Mark W. Lance
now. The boss of Florida's military
department was raised to his sec-
ond star by Governor Warren to
give him equal standing with the
heads of such departments in other
states. His pay, however, will re-
main the same.

St. Joseph's Bay

Project Approved

Army Engineers Turn In Favorable
Recommendation On Chan-
nel Dredging

Chief of Army Engineers Lewis
A. Pick last Friday completed a re-
port recommending improvement of
St. Joseph's Bay at a cost of $1,125,-
000. The report now needs only the
approval of Governor Fuller War-
ren before being submitted to the
house and senate public works com-
mittee in Washington, D. C.
The Pick report recommends the
dredging of channels leading into
the bay to make it possible for the
navigation of deep draft tankers
and other vessels which call here,
to load to capacity instead of com-
ing in light, as has been the case
for some time due to present limi-
tations of the harbor depth.
Specifically, the report calls for
the dredging of an entrance channel
from the Gulf of Mexico to the bay
with a depth of 37 feet. This chan-
nel would be 500 feet wide at the
entrance to the Gulf and diminish
progressively ini width to 400 feet
wide at the entrance to the bay.
The report also calls for a north
channel in the bay 35 feet deep and
300 feet wide, and a harbor channel
in the turning basin 35 feet deep
and 250 feet wide, with its shore-
ward edge 100 feet from and paral-
lel to the face of the existing dock.
Annual maintenance for this pro-
posed project would be $25,000.
Local interests would be expected
to provide and maintain adequate
depths between the docks and the
edge of the proposed channel, to
take care of shipping.


December Favorite Month December is slated to recapture and
S hang onto her title now as queen of
In Florida for Marriages the "marrying months" in the Sun-
shine State.


December nosed out June in 1949
as the favorite month in Florida for
getting married.
Figures compiled by the state
board of health on Cupid's activi-
ties reveal that last year 2,302
couples trekked to the altar in De-
cember, against 2,287 in June who
promised to love, honor and obey.
However, taking a look at marri-
ages for 1946 through 1948, you'll
find that there were 38% more mar-
riages in June than in December.
Going still further back and skip-
ping figures for the war years, for
the popular months for marrying
varied so much during that time, it
was discovered that from 1930 thru
1942, December was "the month"
for taking the vow.
Which all adds up to the fact that


Not so in other states-for that
June moon continues to hold her
own.

CITY GETS CIGARET TAXES

(Continued from page 1)
Largest tax payment went to the
city of Miami with $132,545.51, and
the smallest amount, $3.74, was re-
ceived by Port Tampa City.
Under a new law from the fall
legislative session, cities and towns
receive the proceeds of the tax col-
lected by the state within their bor-
ders.
Cigaret taxes collected in the
rural sections will be spent to build
tuberculosis hospitals. Cities and
towns must reduce their ad valorem
taxes on real estate by at least-half
the amount they get under this tax
on smokers.

BALMY WEATHER

(Continued from page 1)
field and providing drainage ditches.
At times last season portions of the
outfield were rather sloppy after a
period of rain. All this work is to
be done through the co-operation of
the George G. Tapper Company at
no cost to the ball club nor the city.
It is hoped that the work will be
completed within the next week or
two.
The city dads have appropriated
money for completion of the grand-
stand, and this work will begin af-
ter completion of work on the play-
ing field.
There will be several new faces
on the Saint team this year, includ-
ing' Eddie Meharg and Horace Dud-
ley, pitchers; Robert McLeod in an
infield position, and Ray Wilson in
the outfield.
Local ball fans may remember
Meharg as the lad who pitched both
games of a double-header for We-


or.


wahitchka against St. Joe two sea-
sons ago, winning the opener 1-0
and losing the nightcap 1-0. In his
brilliant afternoon's performance he
gave up but five hits. Meharg also
pitched a masterful two-hit game
against Apalachicola's champion-
ship club of that year. Very little is
known of the other three newcom-
ers, but they come well recom-
mended.
Local fans may also like to know
that S. J. Alton, who pitched the lat-
ter part of the season in 1949 with
what appeared to be an injured
back, entered a navy hospital at'
the end of the season and was dis-
covered to have pulled a rib loose
from his backbone-the recurrence
of a childhood injury. At Christmas
time, Alton was still in the hospital
and it is doubtful that he will ever
pitch again.
Present indications point to the
Gulf Coast loop this year being
made up of the same cities as last
season-Port St. Joe, Apalachicola,
Tallahassee, Panama City, Blounts-
town and Wewahitchka.

CHIPLEY CAGERS TAKE

The St. Joe boys and girls will

the Centennial Auditorium next
Tuesday night.
