JOE, FLORIDA, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 1950 NUMBER 20 Wildlife Officers Nab 46 Violators In Gulf Last Year One Acquitted, 42 Are Con- victed and Three Cases Are Pending State wildlife officers made 46 ar- rests in Gulf county for game and fish law violations last year, says Coleman Newman, director of the state game and fresh water fish commission. The county court convicted 42 of those arrested and acquitted one. Three cases are pending. Newman said 2,097 arrests were made thruout the state, and 1,868 of those arrested were convicted, 106 acquitted and only 123 cases are pending. Fishing without a license was the most prevalent single offense, with 891 anglers caught trying to evade .the $2 fee. Hunters were more li- cense conscious, with only 62 ar- rested for not having them. Other frequent violations included shoot- ing fish, possessing more than the bag limit of fish and game. hunting out of season, and illegal netting of fish. Polk county led in number of ar- rests with 124; then came Hillsbor- ,ough with 90, Dade 84, Lake 79, and Duval and Nassau 78 each. St. Lucie was the only county of the 67 that had no arrests for game and fish law violations. St. Joe Cagers Take Two Tilts From Apalachicola Nortonettes Chalk Up Sixth Con- secutive Win; Town Team Runs Wild Over Visiting Jaycees In two fast, hard-fought basket- ball games played at the Centen- nial Auditorium Wednesday night, two St. Joe teams decisively de- feated visiting teams from Apa- lachicola.

Edith Garrett was high scorer for St. Joe with 14 counters, while Mil- let led the visitors with 10. The local lassies defeated Carra- belle last week by a' 24-21 count, and next Wednesday night meet Panama City here.

Elect Business Man- ager and Team Manager for Coming Season With the spring baseball season just around the corner, baseball fans of the city met at the city hall last Friday evening for the purpose of electing a new board of directors for the coming season in the Gulf Coast League. Named to pilot the Saints thru the intricacies of league red tape were C. G. Costin Jr., George Tap- per and J. Lamar Miller. These new officials will meet within the next few days with members of the team for the purpose of discussing poli- cies and selecting a business man- ager and team manager. The work being done by the state road department in leveling the playing field at the new park and providing drainage ditches was dis- cussed, as was the grandstand, which will be completed by city au- thorities before the season opens about May 1. The retiring board of directors, made up of Alex Young, Paul Fen- som and Buster Owens, gave a vote of thanks to the Rotary, Moose and Kiwanis clubs for their assistance in operating the concessions at the ball park last season.

Br'er Groundhog Fails To Glimpse Shadow The editor of The Star went out last week (Febr'uary 2) to interview Br'er Groundhog as he made his yearly prediction, but owing to lack of space in last week's issue, the story was crowded out. We waited patiently for Mr. Grpundhog to come out and were finally rewarded. How- ever, he merely stuck his nose out of his burrow, took a quick look around, thumbed his nose at us, and retreated without seeing his shadow. This means an early spring, for if the sun is shining strong enough for Br'er Groundhog to see his shadow it means at least six more weeks of win- ter weather. However, the way we look at it, the services of the little varmint were not needed this year, since we haven't had any winter to speak of. Scout Week Is Seven Enumerators Observed With Will Be Employed On Observed With Gulf County Census Chapel Program Applications Now Being Taken At District Office; Veterans Candlelight Ceremony, Talks and Demonstrations Mark Fortieth Annivprsary Marking the 40th anniversary of Scouting in America, Boy Scout Troop 47 presented a chapel pro- grain at the local school Wednes- day afternoon using as their theme "The Spirit of Scout Week." Gene Chism acted as master of cere- monies for the occasion. The program opened with Color Guards John Barrier and Lamar Freeman advancing the colors as Scout Bugler Timothy Elder played "The Call To the Colors." Scoutmaster J. T. Simpson gave a brief talk on the origin of scout- ing, after which the impressive candlelight ceremony w a s pre- sented, using the troop log. It was explained that the top candle rep- resented the spirit of scouting, the next three the three parts of the scout oath, and the bottom twelve, represented the twelve scout laws. Following the candlelight cere- mony, talks on "The Value of Scout Uniforms and Badges" were given by Assistant Scoutmaster Charles Callahan and Rudy Richards. A first aid demonstration given by Gene Chism, Floyd Pierce, John Barrier, Earl McCormick and La- mar Freeman had eVeryone stand- ing. It looked like "the real Mc- Coy." This was followed by a demon- stration of knot-tying by John Bar- rier and Billy Guilliard, and a re- port on the scout forest by Ray- mond Lawrence. The program was concluded with the playing of "Taps" by Bugler Elder as the colors were retired. Many Plan To Attend A. N.

Gulf Baseball Season To Open About May 1 Practically All League Offi- cials Re-elected Monday At Meeting Here At a called meeting of officials of the Gulf Coast Baseball League held Monday night at the Port St. Joe city hall plans were developed for operation of the circuit this year. Tom Owens, league prexy last season, was re-elected by a unani- mous vote of the directors present, with one director from each team in the league last year voting. Floyd Hunt, also of this city, was named to serve as vice-president, and George Y. Core and Kenneth Whitfield were re-elected to serve as league secretary and treasurer, respectively. The season will open on either April 30 or May 1, with games to be played on two days each week. Night baseball in Panama City and Blountstown is assured, and there is a strong possibility that Apa-- lachicola will be ready for night ball by the time the season opens.

Due to the uncertainty of playing night ball in three of the cities of (Continued on page 6) Manasco Candidate For School Board Urges Voters Go To Polls In Order To Give Children Best Schools Possible T. Grady Manasco, who has quali- fied as a candidate for member of the Gulf county school board from District 3, is of the belief that our children are entitled to the best educational facilities possible. In making his announcement as a candidate, subject to the will of the voters at the May 2 primary, Mr. Manasco said: "If elected, I promise to remem- ber that the problems of public ed- ucation concern all of us. It is our duty and responsibility to so con- duct our schools as to command the respect and confidence of the gen- eral public. I strongly recommend and urge that every voter in Gulf county go to the polls on May 2 and vote. I think that we owe a debt of gratitude to our children for the progress they are making. "We will be faced by problems, but there will be none that won't be solved and can't be solved by intelligent discussion, by good pub- lic relations, and by maintaining strong regional and national or- ganizations. "We can justify our existence only if we give our children the best schools of which we are cap- able."

SMITH, Editor PHONE.51 Miss Anderson Reports On Girls' State Session The American Legion Auxiliary met Tuesday night at the Legion home to honor Miss Betty Otto An- derson, candidate sent from the eleventh grade to represent the Auxiliary at the 1949 Girls' State held in Tallahassee from June 26 to July 2. Miss Anderson's report was beau- tifully written, clearly spoken and vastly illuminating to those who heard her. She stated that her in- sight into the workings of the state government could not have been gotten from books, no matter how many she would have read. "On entering, each girl is as- signed to a party, either the Fed- eralist or the Nationalist," stated Miss Anderson, "and the politicking then starts for state offices. When the officers are elected, they are sworn in by a justice of the state supreme court, thus bringing into session the Girls' State of Semi- nole. "Three matters were taken up during the session," she said. "The between sessions bulletin, forma- tion of a committee to submit pro- posals for an official flag, and the adoption of a bill for a state flag for the Girl State of Seminole." At the conclusion of Miss Ander- son's talk, a delightful salad sup- per was served. Those members of the Auxiliary and Legion who failed to attend missed a wonderful talk, according to those who were present to hear Miss Anderson tell of her five days' experience in the legislative halls of the state of Florida.

What a disaster for gardens it would be if suddenly no seed were available! But that could hardly happen with a flower, which ever since flower gardens be- gan to be made, in the Mediterra- nean area, has been an essential part of every planting. If flowers could be manufactured, and an artist were commissioned to design one, ideal for edging garden beds and borders, with honey fra- grance, and small flowers blooming profusely all season to enhance the beauty of its neighbors while seldom drawing attention to itself the ablest designer could hardly im. prove upon the sweet alyssum. Ancient gardeners on Crete, in Egypt, Greece and Rome, loved it, But they had only the white kind. In recent years this has been joined b3 lilac and violet varieties, which have all the characteristics of the white, including fragrance.'Alyssum violet queen is in many ways the best of all plants where a ribbon or mass ol dark blue purple is needed in the garden, to offset brighter hues. All are alike in ease of culture, free-flowering qualities and long season of bloom. When their stems become old and leggy, if cut back with .scissors, they quickly grow young again. Seed may be sown di. rect in the garden and there is sel- dom a failure. Even thinning oui may be neglected, but it is better to give the plants room to develop without too much crowding. Finally, the sweet alyssum is so hardy that it survives many hard frosts in the fall. Violet queen, es- pecially, is likely to be the last flow- er blooming in your garden. As for insects and diseases, they seem to pass the-sweet-alyssum by. What more could you..- ak of a lovely flower? 0 $ *#**40 41W 0 0 41P SATURDAY DOUBLE FEATURE PROGRAM --- FEATURE NO.

Our Country Right or Wrong SENATE RACE IS BIG ISSUE Guest'Editorial By Russell Kay While this is an off year as far as elections are concerned, with a contest for a seat in the United States senate to be decided and two such experi- enced and able contenders in the race as Claude Pepper and George Smathers slugging it out on the stump, we can look for considerable public interest. 'The battle lines are already clearly drawn, with Claude openly and vociferously champion- ing the New Deal, Fair Deal and Welfare State, which means more federal controls, more reck- less spending, more boondoggle, more people on the payroll, more concessions to labor, pensions for everybody, with the old political gravy train running hog wild and who cares where the money's coming from, on the one hand. And on the other, an appeal for a balanced na- tional budget, for economy in government, cul- mination of waste, and a sound economic pro- gram that will give business and industry at least, half a chance to function. As the matter stands, Pepper has the advant- age,: the man in office always doe6i`. He. is as- sured of a large block of votes to stArt with, of- fice holders, political beneficiaries, aid the vast army of "gimmie" folks who want more and bet- ter pensions, less work and more pay, shorter.' hours, more relief, free medical and hospital ser- vice and a passport to the Life of Riley at some- body else's expense. Pepper, like Truman, knows how to promise. Whether they can make good is beside the point. The 1949 pension battle is only part of the Welfare State.idea. Promises will be piled on top of promises, workers will look forward to a dol- lar an hour minimum wage, lower housing costs -and the thoughtless will believe-and what's more, they will vote. Those who oppose this wild and radical pro- * gram of tax and tax, spend and spend, elect and elect will find they have a job on their hands. They can cite statistics, use the clearest of logic and prove on paper that we are heading the wrong way, but for the most part their pleas will fall on deaf ears. They are ridiculed as reac- tionaries. There are enough votes uncast at every elec- tion to swing the balance, and most of these would count against the Welfare State if they were gotten to the polls, but if the business man, the professional man, the civic club man, and the vast army of honest, hard-working sincere Am-, ericans are too busy or too indifferent to get out and work and vote, then they will have only theroselves to blame, and they will find the bu- reaucratic net drawn tighter and tighter about their necks, with individual freedom and free enterprise pushed further into the background. The people must be made to realize that there is no such thing as something for nothing; that we must work and produce if we are to live; that it is no.more possible for a government to con- tinually spend beyond its income and stay sol- vent than it is for an individual. They must be made to understand that when they turn to the government for aid, then it fol- lows as the night the day that they become charges of that government, subject to its con- trol, and must relinquish their individual free- dom of thought and action. They must expect to have more and more taken from their pay en- velope, submit to bureaucratic regulations and accept more and more restrictions until they eventually find themselves slaves who live only to serve political overlords. Our present political leaders will pit class against class, scream "soak the rich," play to racketeering labor overlords and stop at nothing to get the votes necessary to keep them in power. They have already cast to the four winds the principles of such leaders as Washington, Jeffer- son and Lincoln to follow the road that history has shown, over and over again, leads only to oblivion. ARE LOW PRICES 'BAD'? There has been an almost incredibly large amount of newspaper comment on the govern- ment's anti-trust suit against the Atlantic & Pa- cific Tea Company, the nation's largest food chain system. Most of. it is concerned with two themes-first, that A&P obviously has no mon- opoly and must compete with thousands of other stores for business, even as the A&P in Port St. Joe competes with the Quality Grocery, McCoy's Store, Rich's Curb Market, Stephens Cash and Carry and others, and, second, that it looks as if the suit is destined to destroy "bigness" just because it is blr. . The Union-Republican, of Albia, Iowa, ex- pressed a moderate view when it said: "As the A&P points, out, there is a reason for its growth, and that reason is patronage. There is a reason for the growth of other chains, just as there is a reason why we must continue to have our inde- pendents and why such independents will con- tinue to exisf regardless of any competition that the chains can give. "Frankly, the Union-Republican is not much worried about the A&P. That firm can take care . of itself. But we don't particularly agree with a number of the implications of the suit against the firm, and the effect such implications will have on other lines of business as well as the retail food line. "To an extent the suit seems to be an attempt to penalize a successful firm, to penalize effici- ency of operation, to revise a system of distribu- tion which has proved itself successful." A&P's crime, apparently, is that it reduced prices to the consumer. If that is a crime, thou- sands of other businesses, in retailing and in all other fields,, are also guilty. Then, efficiency, economy and go6d service must be considered "bad." And waste and high prices must be con- sidered "good."

Flames Destroy Lawson Building An explosion of an oil heater in the second story of the Lawson building at the corner of Reid Ave- nue and 3rd Street last Saturday night resulted in the destruction of the frame building with an esti- mated lossof $2000, partially cov- ered by insurance. All occupants of the rooming house lost their per- sonal belongings. The Cooper and Hinote Barber Shop and the St. Joe Restaurant, on the ground floor of the building, suffered considerable damage from smoke and water.

Equal Rates Ordered On Tank Carriers of Petroleum In Florida All common tank carriers trans- porting petroleum products within Florida must charge the same rates after April 1, according to a ruling issued .by the state railroad and public utilities commission. Before the war, all rates were set by agreement between shippers and carriers. Since then, individual rate schedules have been fixed by the state agency for each carrier. Several revisions have, been made in rates since they became effective in .1943, and the situation, says the commission, has become "more. or less chaotic and very unsatisfac- tory."

Bailey, state school superintendent, says that rumors being spread in the state that the schools are "bankrupting the state" are false. In an article prepared for the magazine, "The School Director," Bailey wrote: "On the contrary, ex- penditures for public school educa- tion have not kept pace with the in- -creasing cost of government in general and, percentagewise, have lagged behind many other state functions." Bailey did not say who is spread- ing the rumors. He declared the schools are singled out as one of the first places to reduce expenses because the benefits of education are not as immediately apparent as the benefits of roads, parks and buildings, and because the children in school cannot vote. "Although the state has increased its appropriation for public and ele- mentary schools from $11,745,978 in 1937-38 to $39,544,278 in 1947-48, 10 years later, the percentage of the people's income spent for the schools remained the same for both years-2.9%," Bailey wrote. "We have simply kept pace with the earning power of our people, no more no less. Does that sound like the schools are bankrupting the state ?" The Florida school head said the cost of Florida government in-' creased 290.1% in the last 10 years but that during the same time.the increase for schools amounted to only 253.12% -less than the in- crease for other and all functions of government. Bailey said in 1937-38 "22.68% of all state government operating ex- penditures went to public elemen- tary and secondary schools, but 10 years later the schools' portion of the state's operating expenses amounted to only 20.53%-less than it was 10 years ago." He urged school people to "face the future with a firm resolve that the children and youth of Florida furnish us with a 'cause' that de- mands that we represent them in- telligently, courageously and ag- gressively."

This estimate is made by the Florida State Chamber of Com- merce in a statement based on an analysis of the president's budget recommendations which were sub- mitted to congress on January 9. The state chamber's estimate of $547,463,100 as Florida's share of the cost of the president's $42,400.- 000,000 spending budget for 1951 was based on the fact that Florida residents and taxpayers presently bear 1.29% of the total federal tax burden. Since federal expenditures are met wholly by taxation, 1.29% of the $42,400,000,000 amounts to BAYVIEW METHODIST CHURCH Highland View Worship service Sunday morning at 10 o'clock.

FLRIDA FIDYFERAY1,95 The Third Time The Anti-Trust Lawyers Were Wrong! Is it a crime to give people more good food for their money? For 90 years A&P has devoted all its energies to this end. For many months now the anti-trust lawyers from Washington have been giving stories to the newspapers, making speeches and talking over the radio about this company. They have been making serious and damaging allegations about the methods that enable A&P to give its customers better food values. We have already told you about other times the anti-trust lawyers made charges against us that were proved utterly false in court. Now we are going to tell you about the third time a federal judge decided - against the anti-trust lawyers. The Dallas Anti-Trust Suit In 1942 the anti-trust lawyers went out to Dallas, Texas, 1,400 miles from the homes of most of the defendants, and instigated crimi- nal charges against A&P. About this case one thing was sure. Their previous experience did not deter the anti-trust lawyers from making more inflammatory and damaging allegations, just as they had done before., They made practically the same allegations they are making today. Federal Judge W. H. Atwell ruled that the case should not even be tried.. He said that the indictment contained inflammatory state- ments that he would not permit to be presented to a jury. Judge Atwell said to the anti-trust lawyers: "If I thought I was presiding over a court and that I might have to sentence some person because he was a great big fellow, or because he was a Lilliputian, I would feel like resigning. God knows we don't want it ever to occur in America that the 'size is going to determine whether a man is guilty or innocent." THE GREAT ATLANTIC & Judge Atwell also said to the anti-trust lawyers: "If the indictment is not good then it is bet- ter to find out before an expensive trial than it is after an expensive trial. I do not think it is good, and thinking that, it is my duty to sustain the demuirrers and motion to quash." In short, Federal Judge Atwell threw the anti- trust lawyers and their case right out of his court. So that makes three times that the anti-trust lawyers made damaging allegations against A&P. In two of these cases federal judges said they were all wrong. In the third case a federal judge said the indictment was inflammatory and he would not even permit the case to be tried. The anti-tru'- '-wyers were not satisfied with the Dallas decision. Neither were they satisfied with the two other decisions in which federal courts administered stinging rebukes to them. They were still determined to destroy A&P. In our next ad we will tell you how they con- tinued their campaign in this case in the Circuit Court of Appeals and subsequent proceedings. We will show you how, once again, they dis. agreed with the courts. PACIFIC TEA COMPANY 'FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 1950 THE STAR. PORT ST.

N. Kirkman in announc- ing orders to the Florida Highway Patrol. "Florida is getting off to a bad start in 1950," he said. "We killed 66 people in traffic accidents dur- ing January, which is a 21% in- ,crease over the 52 killed in Janu- ary of 1949. Our records show that speed is the chief cause of acci- -dents and we intend to do our part in reducing Florida's fatalities. If we are forced to put people ia jail to keep them from killing them- selves or others, we can do just that." Adding that excessive speed is a year around traffic problem and is the chief contributor to Florida's accident record, Kirkman pointed out that accidents reported to the patrol show 27% of the drivers in fatal accidents were either exceed- ing the lawful speed or traveling too fast for existing conditions. Florida law states that any open highway speed in excess of 50 miles per hour at night and 60 miles per hour in the daytime is prima facie evidence of reckless driving. "In spite of our'increased efforts to cut the traffic toll, we are still killing more than two people per day in the state," continued Kirk- For Tops In Quality Southern Dairies N- IN GLASS BOTTLES OR THE NEW, HANDY PAPER CONTAINER At Your Favorite Store, or Phone 382 Before Noon for Home Delivery --- Distributed By C.

That does not mean that we will make any borderline cases, which is not our policy, but if a driver exceeds the reasonable tolerance allowed for difference in speedometers, he ,an expect a ticket. All patrol car speedometers are calibrated for ac- curacy periodically. "We are asking the prosecuting attorneys, the courts and the peo- ple of the state to co-operate," con- cluded Kirkman. "Watch for speed zones and abide by the posted limits. You will have no trouble if you stay under 50 miles per hour at night and 60 miles per hour in the daytime on the open road."

JOE, FLORIDA WILLIAMS AVENUE PHONE 388 PAE-tt-W -- FRIDAY, FESRU'ARY.1O~iir, .1950i Demonstration Makes Large Force To Take New Floors From Old Club Women Get Instructions On Proper Method of Fin- ishing Floors New floors have been made from old stained floors through a floor- finishing demonstration held re- cently at the home of Mrs. J. T. Land as a part of the work of Home Demonstration Clubs in the county. The change is as great as the change from night to day, is the conclusion reached by the women attending the demonstration. The living room floor in the Land home, made of oak, was used for the demonstration, and after being ,finished, received a coat of stain around the rug for partial protec- tion. The refinished floor was com- pared to the old floor in an adjoin- ing room, and there is no compari- son in the "before and after" ef- fects. The finish used does not scratch like varnish, and the points receiving the most wear can be re- finished without doing over the en- tire floor. It was finished with a penetrating floor sealer and waxed. This is how the women were in- structed in the refinishing process: First they "knocked off" the old stain with an electric sanding ma- chine using coarse (No. 4) sandpa- per, this operation being done with the grain of the wood. When they reached the wood, finer sandpaper was used, No. 2 and No. 1/2. But three sandings were necessary. When the sanding was complete, two coats of penetrating floor seal were applied, and a motor-driven disc of steel wool was used to pol- ish the floor after each coat had dried. Two coats of floor wax were then applied and buffed to complete the demonstration. The 33 Home Demonstration Club women attending the-all-day meet- ing had an opportunity to operate the equipment. Electrical equipment and the ma- terials used by the women were provided by a Jacksonville sanding machine company, and the equip- ment may be secured through the St. Joe Hardware Co. of this city.

In Port St. Joe, the economic ef- fects of the refunds are already be- ing felt. Some veterans are putting their windfall into household appli- ances, furniture, refrigerators and others items they have been want- ing for a long time.

JOE FLORIDA PHONE AND MAIL ORDERS GIVEN SPECIAL ATTENTION Not the publisher . because of the firms, local and national, who profitably invest thousands of dollars yearly in the advertis- ing columns of The Star. Not the newspaper reader . because he saves both time and money by shopping the selection of honest values offered through the advertising columns. .Not the advertiser .... because advertising always returns a profit when it is used correctly and consistently. The merchant who does not advertise is the man who PAYS for advertising. He pays for it in the volume of business he loses-in the number of customers who buy elsewhere. Good advertising brings back the original investment with profit dollars along with it. Almost every store in Port St. Joe wants more business than it is getting. .... Hoping for more business is not as effective as INVITING more business. GOOD ADVERTISING DOESN'T COST! Every line of advertising in The Star is paid for by the FELLOW WHO DOESN'T ADVERTISE! The business which the non-advertiser loses pays the cost of advertising, and ALSO returns a nice profit to the fellow who does advertise! and turning them right back ifito insurance-by paying up premiums on their GI or private insurance in advance.
