John Ford Really Has A
Whickadoola Cleaner

The editor of The Star wouldn't
believe it when John Ford Jr., told
about the "Rexair" vacuum cleaner
for which he is the agent in Gulf
county, so he brought it around to
demonstrate and was our wife's
face red! She had just vacuumed
her rug with her brand new cleaner
and John went right over a portion
of it and picked up a handful of
dirt with his doohicky.
It's the blamedest thing you have
ever seen. It not only takes dirt out
of the carpet, it washes the air at
the rate of 64 cubic feet per min-
ute, adding humidity to the air as
you work; scrubs tile, linoleum and
wood floors; shampoos rugs and
upholstery; waxes and polishes the
floor; mops, and can be used to
vaporize medicaments in sickrooms.
That gadget beats all! Person-
ally, we believe it will make any
bachelor a good wife. Incident-
ally, there's an ad in the classified
section of a brand new cleaner for
sale by our wife, who says she's
simply GOT to have one of John's
wonder-workers.

guard divisions in each of the three
states; .
There are two divisions in the
three states, the 51st composed of
Florida and South Carolina guards-
men, and the 48th made up of Flor-

was told that each state would pre-
fer a separate division to avoid dif-

George Smathers To

Speak Here Today

Candidate for United States Senate
Will Make Initial Appeal To
Voters of Port St. Joe

Representative George Smathers
will speak in Port St. Joe today at
10:30 a. m. in front of his head-
quarters on Reid Avenue opposite
'the postoffice.
We really should have put his
speech in this issue of The Star,
since we've been bombarded with
so many "releases" from his Jack-
sonville 'headquarters that we are
almost capable of making his talk
for him. However, we'll wait until
next week when we get the regular
"release" and let our readers know
what George had to say-especially
about your friend (he ain't ours)
Claude Pepper.
Our good friend W. W. Barrier is
in charge of the campaign here and
probably will introduce Representa-
tive Smathers.
Smathers spoke in Wewahitchka
yesterday, and will go from here to
Apalachicola, Carrabelle, Crawford-
ville, Sopchoppy and Tallahassee.

THIEVES MAKE RAID ON
BOB KINGRY'S PLACE
Thieves seem to have a penchant
for Bob Kingry's place on the Pan-
ama City highway four miles west
of this city, as, for the second time
within recent months they broke
into the establishment last Friday
night and made off with consider-
able loot.
Bob says they cleaned out his
stock of whiskey valued at about
$300, took ten cartons of cigarets,
robbed the juke box for an esti-
mated $20, and took about $15
worth of Fuller Warren's pennies.

Judy Greer Tagged
As 'Blond Blizzard'

Jimmy Greer this week has been
proudly displaying a clipping from
the Macon (Ga.) Telegraph regard-
ing his daughter Judy.. In fact, when
he got the clipping out of the post-
office (it was sent by his brother)
he. was in such a hurry to get it to
The Star that his glasses fell off
and broke as he galloped down the
street.
The clipping is a two-column pic-
ture of Judy in action in a basket-
ball game, and the caption reads,
in part: "Blond Blizzard from Cus-
seta-Judy Greer, Cusseta forward,
demonstrates how she earned her
title in a Class C high school bas-
ketball tournament game in which
she led her team to a 40 to 38 upset
over Portal in an overtime match.
The Blond Blizzard scored 22
points."
Another column on the page has
Judy as a nominee for the Georgia
all-state team.

Snow Falls In Gulf

thick curtain of fine flakes fell for
that period of time. He reported
the temperature at that time to be
just below 50 degrees.

Curly Headed

Zinnia Rich in

Garden Glamour


Fascinating Fantasy Zinnias.
Among the flowers which amateurs
grow from seed the zinnia stands
first in this country. It is a native
American which thrives in our hot,
dry summers. The seed germinates
in a few days, and plants produce
their flowers in six weeks. Nowon-
der they.are popular!
But they could be.more so if gar-
deners in general knew what a va-
riety of colors and forms the zinnia
family includes. Too many grow
only the giant double kinds-lovely,
it is true-but lovelier when accom-
panied by 'those..of smaller size,
which bloom even more freely and
.make. a better effect in the border.
So many colors,, sizes and shapes
are found in the long list of zinnias,
that an entire garden could be
planted with them with excellent ef-
fect. They have all the colors ex-
cept blue; in size their blossoms
range from half an inch to six
inches across; in height plants grow
from six inches to four feet.
One of the most decorative forms
is the Fantasy type, in which the
petals depart wholly from the for-
mal regularity of other doubles, to
twist and curl, something like a cac-
tus dahlia. They are charming in
flower' arrangements,,.and a group
of them in the garden makes a
pleasing contrast -to neighbors of
more bedate behavior.
Zinnias may be started indoors or
outdoors, in seed boxes or sown di-
rect in the garden.

Simple Precaution
Burn oily rags in the incinerator
at once, or keep them in. covered
metal cans

Beverage Tax Totals
Ahead of Last Year
The state beverage department
reports that its collections during
the first seven months of this fis-
cal year totaled $13,995,837, com-
pared to $12,974,529 for the same
period last year-a gain of $1,021,-
398 over the 1948-49 figures.
Increase is due to the fact that
the state levy on wine was doubled
in October, and the tax on whiskey
was boosted 25c to 50c a gallon,
depending on alcoholic content, in
July.
Spend Week-end Here
Sgt. and Mrs. G. L. Bobbitt and
son of Fort Benning, Ga., spent the
week-end here with Mr. and Mrs.
J. E. Bobbitt. They were cordially
welcomed by the night police after,
making a U-turn at Reid Avenue

Our Country Right or Wrong

LET'S ALL JOIN HANDS
During the month of March the American Red
Cross makes its annual appeal to the American
people to give it the funds to serve the nation
and its citizens in times of emergency.
Everybody is familiar with the great work of
the Red Cross, with the assistance which it ren-
ders whenever disaster strikes in any area. Emer-
gency medical and nursing care is provided the
victims and, in many instances, financial assist-
ance is a vital part of the relief extended to un-
fortunate people.
The drive in Gulf county is underway right
now, having started Thursday of last week, with
Cecil Costin Jr., of this city as fund chairman for
. Gulf county and George Core at the helm as co-
chairman in the northern part of the county. It's
really good to see young men taking over these
campaigns-in the past it has always been some
of us gray-haired oldsters acting as the wheel
horse. Cecil hopes to raise the $1500 quota in
two weeks, and while we don't want to discour-
age him, hoping that he'll do it, we feel that he's
going to be disappointed a-bit for, outside of the
war years, no fund-Campaign in Gulf county has
ever made its quota in that short period. Gener-
ally it taks a month or more. However, we wish
him good luck, and will do all we can for him. _
We don't feel that it is necessary to urge the
readers of The Star to take a part in this great
work by making a cash .contribution. We feel
sure that most of them will gladly make a contri-
bution, and if everybody will promptly respond

Drive To Raise Money for Hospital
A meeting was held at the city
hall Tuesday night for the purpose
of inaugurating a drive to raise the
sum of $9000 for construction of a
hospital in this city. Total cost of
the project will be $57,000, and the
WPA has already earmarked the
necessary funds, pending submis-
sion of completed plans and speci-
fications.
Many Candidates Announce
Entering the various political
races this week were Edd C. Prid-
geon of Wewahitchka, seeking re-
election as tax collector; J. Earl
Pridgeon for county judge; Tommy
Owens of this city, for school su-
perintendent; Jesse Gaskin of We-
wahitchka, for re-election as county
commissioner; Chauncey L. Costin,
for re-election as county school su-
perintendent, and A. Z. Culbreth,
for supervisor of registration.

Announcement of the marriage of
Miss Ivey Belle Kennedy and Ed-

EIGHT MILLION CHILDREN
There are eight million handicapped children
under 21 in the United States. That's a startling
figure-about the combined population of Bos-
ton, Denver, Los Angeles and Philadelphia, and
2000 times the population of Port St. Joe.
Some of these youngsters can be restored to
normal by the miracles of modern medicine. A
lot of them can be trained to earn their own liv-
'ing and enjoy happy, useful lives in spite of their
"so-called" handicaps. The editor of The Star in-
jected that "so-called" there for the reason that
most "so-called" handicapped persons generally
have more of an incentive to go out and lick the
world than those who are not "handicapped."
We've found'that so-called handicaps aren't con-
sidered as such by so-called handicapped per-
sons-and we ought to know. The so-called "han-
dicap" generally gives a greater incentive to most
people to get out and do just a little bit better
than those who are not "handicapped."
However, it takes money to provide medical
care and specialized training. That's why the
National Society for Crippled Children and its
2000 state and local member agencies conduct an
-Easter Seal campaign each spring. Easter Seal
funds support a continuous program of educa-
tion, research and direct services to the handi-
capped children.
Your contribution may help train a special
therapist for crippled children; pay for an op-
eration or a brace to free a crippled child from
bed, or train some youngster for an occupation
he can take up in spite of his "handicap."
Through your Easter Seal contribution, you
help start some crippled children on the road to
complete recovery and others on the way to use-
f 1i happy lives.

State Welfare Checks
Will Be Cut April First

Most of Florida's welfare clients
will have their benefit checks cut
April 1, due to the fact that only 90
per cent of the welfare agency's
appropriation has been released.
Reductions will be made on the
basis of actual need. Some may not
be cut at all, while others may be


cut as much as 30 per cent.
The agency has been able to
make payments in full the first
three quarters of the fiscal year on
the 90 per cent release, but will be
required to decrease payments dur-
ing the last quarter because of the
increased number of recipients.
It's easy to make the problems of
life so simple that no solution is
necessary.

Port St. Joe 4H Club G

National 4H Club W

The 411 Club girls of Gulf county
are enjoying various activities dur-
ing National 4H Club Week, March
4 to 12, planned for them by their
home demonstration agent, Mrs.
Wilma A. Revell. The girls say the
biggest moment will be the award-
ing of the county achievement
medals to be given to the top-rank-
ing girls in the county.
There are 230 4H girls in Gulf
county doing 4H Club work, with
130 of them in the Port St. Joe
school. They join the 800,000 club
girls and boys in our nation in ob-
serving National 4H Club Week.
The following two articles were
chosen by Mrs. Revell as the best
articles on the 4H Club camp and
state 4H short course written by
Port St. Joe 4H Club girls as part
of their activities during National
4H Club Week:
State 4H1 Short Couiise
I think that every 41i member
should attend 4H Club short course.
It is one of the most educatiobnal
weeks that I h ave ever spent. You
meet new people and have classes
on various home-making subjects.
The classes are taught by people
who are trained in the subject they
are teaching. In a one-hour class
under these tranied persons you
can learn more than you would be-
lieve possible.
There are various forms of recre-
ation, and each year there is an in-
teresting tour of the city of Talla-
hassee, the capital building, the
governor's mansion, and, of course,
the college where you stay for the
week.
-I think a week of short course
would promote any club member's
interest in his 4H work more than
any one thing.
JUDITH MAHON,
Senior 4H Club Girl.
4H Club Camp
All 4H Club members should make
an effort to attend 4H Club camp
each summer. While. at camp you
have classes in handicrafts where
you learn how to make-different .ar-
ticles. The leaders hold swimming
classes where you can learn to
swim. It helps you to learn how to
get along with others and cp-oper-
ate with playmates. You have su-
pervised recreation in which every-
one can participate and enjoy. 4H
Club camp is a happy experience
.and a real comparison with your
home life.
MARY ALLEN,
Senior 4H Club Girl.
The following excerpts were se-
lected by Mrs. Revell from similar
articles written by other Port St.
Joe Senior 4H Club girls:
4H has meant a lot to me because
I have learned to can vegetables, to
sew for myself and my family and
to prepare tasty foods.
HELEN JONES.
4H has helped me and my family
in clothing and feeding the family.
SHIRLEY YOUNG.
.This is my first year in the 4H
Club and I like it very much.
MARTHA PEARL MILLER.
4H Club work will help me to be
prepared for the homemaking du-
ties and responsibilities that will
face me in the future.
MARY HARRIS.
4H teaches you to become a bet-
ter citizen.
CAROLYN TRAWICK.
I am raising a pig as one of my
4H demonstrations.
DOROTHY LEE POPE.
I have learned things in 4H to
improve my home.
DIMPLES JOHNSON.
I have learned to help my family
with household duties through the
4H Club.
VERNA HORNSBY.
Every girl should make an effort
to be a 4H Club girl because it will
help her learn to sew, cook, and
many other things she will need
later as an adult.
JOYCE CAUSEY.
I prepare supper nearly every
evening for my family as part of
my 4H demonstration.
LAURA JEAN WHITFIELD.
I think every 4H Club girl should
attend camp. It teaches you to get
along with others.
VIRGINIA SWATTS.
My 4H Club work has helped me
in all of my endeavors to learn
more about homemaking.
SIBBIE BRINSON.
I sincerely recommend 4H Club
to all girls between the ages of 10
and 21.
MARJORIE WEEKS.
I have learned to wash dishes
and set the table the 4H way.
DOROTHY DYKES.

heard of a program in charge of an
individual," he sputtered. It took
us several minutes to get what he
was driving at, but it finally pene-
trated our rather thick skull, and
we explained to him that we had to
rearrange it a little to make it fit
in a line without putting too .much
space between the .words, and that
we hadn't thought of it in the way
he had.. However, all was for-
given, and we assured the reverend
that hereafter we would cai-efully
watch our subjects, predicates, ad-
verbs,, prepositions, verbs, adenoids
and such particularly where he
was concerned.

We've got a bone to pick ,with,
Lucius Coody w a.y~ up there in
Cuttyhunk, Mass., one of our regu-
lar readers and brother of our frau.
Seems he's overweight by a
considerable poundage, and the doc
has put him on a diet consisting
mainly of lettuce. He wrote our
wife about-it, and now she's think-
ing of dissolving our corporation by
putting us on a similar diet .
Why can't some people keep their
big yaps closed?

We're giving Mrs. Odell Hill over
at Smith's Pharmacy i this week's
prize award o'f a-crocheted hot wa-
ter bottle. We usually drift in
there about 5 p. m. to pick up a pa-
per or magazine and the tile floor
is generally receiving a mopping,
which causes our rubber crutch tips
to skid. ... A short time back, Mrs.
Hill was mopping about the middle
of the store when we went in. We
went over to look at the magazines
and a few minutes later when we
turned around she had .carefully
left a dry aisle up the middle of
the floor for us to get to the door.
Now that's what we call real
thoughtfulness.

Have you been over to George
Cooper's fly-by-night barber shop
,vhich he set up after he was burned
out of his old quarters? ..... If you
haven't, you missed something ....
George dug -up three chairs (and
we use the word "dug" in its full
meaning, for we believe a couple of
the chairs had been decently in-
terred 100 years ago) and set up
business just a few days after the
big blaze. One of the chairs, we feel
sure, was placed in the Ark by Old
Man Noah, and we looked carefully
on the other two for some kind of
a sign that should say "George
Washington slept here while get-
ting a shave." Actually, though,
they take, us back to our boyhood
days when getting a haircut was an
ordeal. All that's lacking is a rack
full of'"personalized" shaving mugs.

E. J. Rich is in the dog house. ....
Seems last Sunday his wife pre-
pared a sumptuous Sunday dinner
in honor of her mother's 74th birth-
day anniversary, to which a group
of Georgia relatives were invited.
r Those Georgia Crackers are
really fond of oysters, so E. J.

SCHOOLS COST TOP STATE
AID BY MORE THAN $160,000
The cost of Florida's minimum
foundation program for schools is
going to run $160,424 over the legis-
lative appropriation of $47,498,00
for this year, a final computation of
school figures indicates.
But, because the legislature put a
ceiling on school funds, the $160,424


will be deducted from the amount
of school aid earned by the coun-
ties under the law.
This will make the third time
this year that the department of
education has had to cut state aid
to the county school systems.

It takes a good speller to dispute
the dictionary.

Who Pays for



Advertising?



Not the publisher .... because
of the firms, local and national, I
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!
