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

Woods Burning

Case Brings Fine

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-

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.

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.
This park, as everyone knows,
marks the site of the signing of


son. With all linerboard being thor- the first constitution for the terri-

Highways 27 and 19 down to Perry,
a distance of about 68 miles. The
cut-off from Newport to Perry will
eliminate about half that distance.
Our information on this road is
taken from the Taylor County News
which says:
"Contractors this week moved a
crew into the Nutall Rise commun-
ity in Taylor county 'and began
blasting a right-of-way through the
swamp southward and eastward to-
ward Perry. This is the beginning
of a million-dollar construction pro-
ject which will extend State Road
39 westward into Jefferson county


Sunday Morning Fire

Guts Cooper Building

Barber Shop and Frenchie's Cafe
Almost Total Loss; Cooper
Will Rebuild

A fire alarm was turned in at 2:47
Sunday morning by Night Police-
man Murdock Kelly who, with Perry
Danley, discovered flames billowing
from the rear of the Cooper build-
ing on Reid Avenue which housed
Frenchie's Cafe and the Cooper
Barber Shop.
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. "Frenchy" Guil-
lory estimated damage to his cafe
at approximately $3,500, which also
was partially covered by insurance.

League Meet Monday

A meeting will be held this eve-
ning at 8 o'clock in the city hall for
the purpose of electing a board of
directors .for the Port St. Joe base-
ball slub preparatory to opening of
the season of the Gulf Coast Base-
ball League.
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

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.

a court fixed up out there behind

Wish you would mention this in

Pepper Asks Truman
To Direct Review of
Apalachicola Project

President Truman has been asked
by Senator Claude Pepper to direct
the army engineers to review the
report turning down dredging of a
ship channel through Apalachicola
Bay with a view to authorizing the
channel even if it had to be, at a
lesser depth than was originally re-
quested.
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.
