PORT ST. JOE A Progressive Community With a Modern, Progressive Weekly Newspaper ,-, 4 THE STAR "Port St. Joe The Outlet Port for the Apalachicola-Chattahoochee Valley" THE STAR Is Devoted To the Con- tinued Development of Port St. Joe and Gulf County VOLUME XIII PORT ST. JOE, FLORIDA, FRIDAY, MARCH 10, 1950 NUMBER 24 School Band To Present Annual -Concert Tonight Thirteen Selections Will Be Rendered by Senior and Junior Groups The St. Joe school band has been practicing assiduously for the past several weeks in preparation for the annual concert which is to be presented this evening at 8 o'clock in the high school auditorium un- der the direction of Bandmaster Charles Conter.

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.

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.

Gloekler Is Called By Death Monday Morning Funeral Services Held Yes- terday With Interment At Apalachicola The community was saddened this week by the passing of Joseph B. Gloekler, 43, a resident of this city for the past 13 years, who died in the Port St. Joe Municipal Hos- pital at 11:15 a. m. Monday after undergoing treatment for a heart ailment for ten days previously. Mr. Gloekler was born January 26, 1907, in Pittsburgh, Pa., and came to Florida in 1924, when his family settled in St. Petersburg. He came to Apalachicola in 1930, where he was connected with the Florida Power Corporation. While in Ap- alachicola he was married to Miss Ada Clair Theobald in 1931, and to this union one daughter was born. Mr. and Mrs. Gloekler and their daughter Virginia, came to Port St. Joe in 1937 when Mr. Gloekler was transferred to this city by the com- pany. 'In 1938 he went to work for the St. Joe Paper Company in the auditing department, where he was employed up until the time of his death. In addition to his widow and daughter, both of this city, Mr. Gloekler is survived by his mother, Mrs. L. B.

Gl6ekler;'aid' an aunt, Miss Lucilie (Continued on page 7) 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.

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.

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.

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 ler, president; Mrs TEN YEARS AGO From the Files of The Star 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.

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. -..

HUBERT By Dick Wingert 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. .sAp .*/^/y fwM6k-,%V' No need to put up with a slow-starting truck.

JOE, GULF COUNTY, FLORIDA PAGE FIVE 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.

" R 1 0 SR STARDUST and MOONSHINE We've been holding this in the back of our mind until we again got around to writing this column. It's a month old now. Rev Lee Graham came dashing into the of- fice Friday afternoon, February 10, waving a copy of The Star, his face as red as his hair, and shouting something to the effect that we had made him make a grave grammati- cal error in our paper. When he got through sputtering and calmed down a bit, we found that in setting up an article on the Episcopal Lay- men's League which he had turned in we. made it read "The program is to' be in charge of Herbert C. :Brown His copy had read "Herbert C. Brown will be in charge of- the program." "Whoever 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.

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.

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!
