PORT ST. JOE A Progressive Community With a Modern, Progressive Weekly Newspaper THE STAR THE STAR Is Devoted To the Con- tinued Development of Port St. Joe and Gulf County . "Port St. Joe -The Outlet Port for the Apalachicola-Chattahoochee Valley" VOLUME XIII PORT ST. JOE, FLORIDA, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1950 NUMBER 19 Road Program for Much Research County Is Outlined By Commissioners Set Up Priority Paving For Many Secondary Roads Over 3-Year Period At a special call meeting of the board of county commissioners, the matter of use of the 80% of the seventh cent gas tax and other sec- ondary road funds was taken up and priorities set up under the sec- ondary road assistance program for the years 1950, 1951 and 1952. Under an act passed at the extra session of the 1949 legislature, the state road department receives 80% of the proceeds of Gulf county's pro rata share of the seventh cent gas- oline tax, which must be used ex- clusively by the department within the county, as directed by the com- missioners, for the construction, re- construction, maintenance and re- pair of state roads and bridges, re- duction of road and bridge indebt- edness, and for the acquisition of rights-of-way for state roads. Esti- mated secondary road funds accru- ing to Gulf county during 1950 is estimated at $63,700. At request of the state road de- partment, which is required by law to adopt an annual budget of main- tenance and construction work each year, the county commissioners set -up the following projects, together (Continued, on page Sl .. Woods Burning Case Brings Fine Robert Gautier, Colored, Pays Pen- alty for Allowing Fire to Spread To Adjoining Property William D. Stephens, Florida For- est Service investigator, reported Monday that charges ,were brought against Robert Gautier, colored, of the old Dalkeith settlement for al- lowing a brush fire to escape from his property on January 12. The escaping fire burned over the prop- erty of George Gaskin and Iron Rogers. Stephens said that approximately 20 acres had been burned on the land of Gaskin and Rogers, and in addition an outbuilding was com- pletely destroyed. Sheriff Byrd Parker stated that Gautier had reported to his office to plead guilty to the .charges of carelessly allowing his fire to es- cape to the lands of another, and appearing before Judge J.

Railroad Hearing Postponed To Feb. 16 The Star has received word from the Florida Railroad and Public Utilities Commission that the pub- lic hearing set for Tuesday, Febru- ary 14, on application of the Apa- lachicola Northern Railroad Com- pany to discontinue operation of the "Doodlebug" on the passenger, express and mail run from this city to Chattahoochee has been post- poned to Thursday, February 16, at 1 p. m. in the Franklin county court house at Apalachicola.

Is Carried On In If our readers will hark back over the years they will remember that the editor of The Shar has inter- mittently got all hopped up over construction of a highway known as the "Perry Cut-Off," a proposed road from Perry to Newport, which would mean the saving of many miles to motorists traveling High- way 98 through Port St. Joe and Apalachicola' to the east coast or to South Florida. The dotted line on the above map indicates location of the new road. At present motorists must take Highway 98 into Tallahassee, then State Board Plans Improvements for Making of Kraft Constitution Park Products of St. Joe Paper Co. Shipped To All Parts of World By HAROLD BELL An intensive testing and research program is a routine part of the complicated art of making paper from pine trees and then preparing the product for the long journeys to where it is to be used. Shipping its products as far as the Union of South Africa in some instances, the St. Joe Paper Company is part of a network of .mills which constantly strive to make an even better pro- duct for consumption. Laboratory work and testing pro- cedures which include research in various methods to improve the fin- ished product, is a relatively little known process to the average per- Calls for Landscaping, Park- ing Lot, Sidewalks and Repair of Monument A plan for improvement and ex- pansion of Constitution Park has been released by the Florida Board of Parks and Historic Memorials. State Director Lewis G. Scoggin and M. B. Greene, assistant direc- tor, both of Tallahassee, were re- cent visitors here when the plan was presented. According to the plan, the $10,000 which has been appropriated by the state legislature for improvement of the park will be used for land- scaping, a parking lot, laying addi- tional sidewalks, and for repair of the monument.

The fire, which is believed to have started from wiring at the switchbox in the rear of the barber shop, completely gutted Cooper's shop and almost totally destroyed the cafe. The fire was brought un- der control by the fire department in a short while, preventing damage -to the two brick buildings on either side of the old wooden structure, which was built in 1925. George Cooper places his loss at $8,500, partially covered by insur- ance, while E. G.

In addition to selecting directors, the matter of players will be dis- cussed as well as other pertinent business. This meeting is open to everyone, and anyone interested in the Saint baseball club is cordially invited to be present. The annual meeting of directors of the Gulf Coast League will b,e held at the city hall next Monday, according to Tom Owens, president of the organization, and representa- tives from Apalachicola, Panama City, Blountstown, Tallahassee and Wewahitchka will be present. Purpose of the meeting will be the election of officers for the com- ing season, secure entries for the league, and start work on planning of the schedule. Present officers, besides Owens, are L. G. Buck, Apalachicola, vice- president; Geoorge Core, Wewa- hitchka, secretary, and Ken Whit- field, Wewahitchka,' treasurer. Wilson and Tapper In Legislative Race "Uncle Charlie" Only Candidate To Qualify As Time Runs Out Wednesday Noon Despite the fact that two other St. Joe men had indicated that they might enter the race for represen- tative in the legislature from Gulf county in opposition to George G. Tapper, incumbent, C. C. "Uncle Charlie" Wilson, who has already served one term as reprseentaive from Gulf county, was the only can- didate to qualify as time ran out Wednesday noon. Supporters of both men seem to be of the opinion that the race will lbe a hot one, and nIeither camp Is willing to offer odds on their entry. Deadline for qualification on the two county commissioner seats to be filled is, we believe, March 15, and as yet Basil Kenney Jr. and Jim Daniel, the two commissioners who will seek re-election, as yet have no opposition, though it is understood there will be at least one aspirant to the seat on the board now held by Kenney. City May Have Living Xmas Tree In Future Ed Ramsey, who for the past five years has been going out into the swamps to bring in a tree for the annual community Christmas serv- ice, last week brought in an 18-foot cedar and planted it in the city park opposite Hotel St. Joe. To make sure the city would have a living Christmas tree should the large one fail to survive, Ed brought in a seven-foot cedar, which has been planted near the larger tree.

Our Country Right or Wrong WAR TAXES STILL IN EFFECT Hearing Anna Smith, Verna Smith and our wife talking about the taxes they have to pay on what they consider necessities-handbags, sewing thread, cosmetics, baby diapers, lipstick, and other items brought to our mind the fact that excise taxes inaugurated during the recent war are still bedeviling us. Congress should repeal these war-time taxes that apply to innumerable commodities, and also to rail, bus and plane tickets. The roster of those who, along with the editor of The Star and other newspaper publishers, fa- vor and have long-favored repeal is large, repre- sentative and impressive. It includes manufac- turers, retailers, labor unions, consumer groups and economists. It was recently joined by Secre- tary of Commerce Sawyer. The argument for re- peal is based on two facts. First, these taxes were strictly war-time, emer- gency measures. They were designed to discour- age production of certain kinds of goods at a time when the whole nation was straining to live up to the needs of the war effort. The revenue the taxes raised was a secondary matter: The' 'Nwar has been over for years, yet the taxes remain on the books. Second, retailers, manufacturers and others who know what is going on, say that these taxes definitely harm the sale of affected items. For instance (and we have Mrs. Jewel Wilks' word for this), an additional 20 per cent tacked on top of the price of' a diamond engagement ring or a high-priced watch is enough to stop many people from making the purchase. Employment is thus adversely affected. And the volume of retail trade, which has so much to do with our prosper- ity, is less than it would be otherwise. The items which are taxed should certainly not be considered frivolous luxuries in a nation which desires a high and improving standard of living. Their widespread ownership and use is one of the things which distinguishes this from most - other countries. Tobacco chewing may be a dirty habit, but it never started a woods fire. In our opinion, the cheapest fire insurance is to join the church. TEN YEARS AGO From the Files of The Star Judge Rules In Favor Pipeline Co. Superior Judge B. C. Gardner of Camillia, Ga., has held that the Southeastern Pipeline Corporation, which is laying a gasoline pipeline from Port St. Joe to Chattanooga, Tenn., has the right under a 1937 legislative act to condemn property to obtain rights-of-way for its line. A number of railroad companies had filed suits to prevent the line from crossing their rights-of-way. Freeze Wrecks Highways The recent cold spell, in which the temperature in Port St2 Joe dropped as low as 18 above, caused an undetermined amount of damage to highways ia this and ofter sec- tions of Florida. All pavement laid FAR-REACHING POLITICAL TACTICS Political tactics which will be followed by the major parties were described in the New York Times in the following words: "The administra- tion's strategy probably will be to push forward the 'Fair Deal' here and there; keep alive the big issues of Taft-Hartley, civil rights and others, and blame Republican 'obstructionsm' for lack of action on them; make the most of these issues in the November elections. "The opposition strategy will be less unified but generally along these lines: Fight hard for cuts in the budget and for lower taxes, and in this way bring pressure against a wide range of Truman proposals that involve expense. . Counterattack day by day and watch for admin- istration openings and mistakes that can be ex- ploited." It has been a long time since any congress was so divided as this one, and had so many intensely controversial issues to wrangle about. In the early days of Roosevelt's New Deal a vast mass of unprecedented and experimental legislation went through with hardly a tremor-but in those days the country was in a great depression, con- gress was confused and uncertain, and sentiment was in favor of trying almost anything. Your friend (he ain't ours) Truman, on the other hand, is proposing his own particular legis- lative revolution at a time when the national in- come is enormous, production is at near-record levels and the country is at least superficially prosperous. The ever-increasing, budgets have congress honestly worried at last. Moreover, fear of the "welfare state"' is not confined to Republi- can ranks-many Democrats are troubled too. The cards say that this year your friend (he ain't ours) Truman will get only a small portion of what he wants. The elections of next Novem- ber will do much to determine what he will even- tually get. THE COW STORY UP-TO-DATE Capitalism: If you have two cows, you sell one and buy a bull. Socialism: If you have two cows, you give one of them to your neighbor. Communism: If you have two cows, you give them to the government and the government gives you milk. I Fascism: If you have two cows, you keep the cows and give the milk to the government. New Deal: If you have two cows, you shoot one, milk the other, then pour the milk down the drain. Fair Deal: If you have two cows, you let them starve so you can buy your milk in cans, thus making business better. -Exchange. POLICY OF DISRUPTION The soft coal industry is a perfect example of industrial chaos. No one knows, from one week to the next, whether all of the mines will work, whether some of the mines will work, whether none of the mines will work, or if the miners will follow a three-day week, a five-day week, or a no-day week. This sort of disruption has been John L. Lewis' fixed policy. It is, apparently, his method of dem- onstrating that he is coal's czar-to hell with the government, the people and the miners. on a limestone base was torn up by water freezing in the rock causing it to swell and burst through the top dressing. Those sections of road built on a clay base were not af- fected by the,. freeze.

Dear Editor Bill: I was reading in The Star about the work they were going to do on the baseball park and it reminded me that I was hoping someone would get interested enough in playing some -tennis, and let's get a court fixed up out there behind the Centennial Auditorium. Wish you would mention this in The Star some time to see if there aren't a few persons in St. Joe who would like to have a good place to have some tennis matches.

Gay says the state plaid 31,390 employes $43,- 569,230 during 1949, compared to $38,748,949 paid 31,047 employes in 1948.

In '48 the federal tax totaled $2,589,570.

A report issued two weeks ago by the engineers turned down the pro- posed improvement on the grounds that benefits would not be suffici- ent to justify expenditure of federal funds required. The project calls for a ship chan- nel 30 feet deep by 300 feet wide from Gorrie Bridge across Apalachi- cola Bay and St. George Island to deep water in the Gulf of Mexico. --------- Attend Camellia Show Mr. and Mrs. A.
