PORT ST. JOE A Progressive Community With a Modern, Progressive I Weekly Newspaper THE "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, APRIL 14, 1950 NUMBER 29 TB ASSOCIATION MEETING IS Livestock Must CALLED FOR TUESDAY NIGHT A meeting of the Gulf County Tu- Be Kept Off Road s berculosis and Health Association will be held next Tuesday night at After June 8 o'clock at the high school. All After June 30thn members are urged to attend, and 1 the public is invited. Law Says Owners Liable for' Damages Sustained By Any Person, One of the biggest hazards to mo- torists will be eliminated after June 30 when Florida's new law prohibit- ing roaming of livestock goes into effect. Under the new regulation, own- ers of livestock must keep their cattle, hogs, sheep and goats off the public roads after June 30, or -subject their loitering animals to seizure by law enforcement offi- cials. Skunks, 'possums and turtles are not included. The law, which takes effect at 12:01 a. m. on July 1, was passed by the 1949 legislature and makes livestock owners "liable in dam- ages for all injury and property damage sustained by any person" by reason of the presence of stock on the public roads, "including the full width of the right-of-way." The law defines public roads as being those "which are, and may be maintained by the state road de- partment." Fence construction in Gulf and adjoining counties has been going on with marked rapidity lately, and cattlemen who are interested in improving their stock now feel that real headway can be made. We' areold that T recover im- pounded livestock will prove to be a costly business.

Tubb, pastor of the Port St. Joe Metho- dist Church. It is the fact that, with more than 9,000,000 Methodists in the world Rev. Tubb has been se- lected as one of 25,000 outstanding Methodists to be listed in "Who's Who In Methodism," a 1000-page book compiled by the International Methodist Hostorical Society and the editorial board of "Who's Who In America." The book is interna- tional in scope.

County Must Hold A Second Primary Law Has To Be Followed Al- though All Contests Be Settled On May 2 According to Attorney General Dick Ervin, a second primary elec- tion must be held in all counties on May 23, even if all party nomina- tions for public offices are settled in the first primary May 2. Reason for this is a change made in the election laws at the last ses- sion of the legislature providing for election of candidates to such party offices as member of the state, dis- trict and county Democratic and Republican executive committees at the second primary. The opinion was given to Clerk W. P. Dodd of Franklin county by Ervin, who said "it is to be re- gretted that it is necessary to hold a second primary this year solely for the election of party officers. . Nevertheless, the requirements of the law are not to be disregarded and there seems to be no legal per- mission under the circumstances." Dodd had written that Franklin county could save $600 or $700 by putting party office candidates on the first primary ballot. Since there will be no carry-over races in Gulf county for the second primary, this means t h at Gulf county, too, will have to stage a special election on May 23 for the purpose of selecting Democratic committeemen and committeewo- men, none otf whom have any oppo-" sition.

Loyd Tubb give a beautiful sermon on "The Risen Lord." Hopefully anticipating a good at- tendance, the steward body was still uable to find seats for all, and a number were forced to listen in their cars parked close to the build- ing. The fact that the nursery for infants, which is under capable hands during Sunday school and church, is now completed, no doubt had a part in the large attendance. The choir, wearing white choral smocks, presented a beautiful nuim- ber, and Miss Patricia Laney gave one of her touching and inspira- tional solos, while Miss Howell at the keyboard of the beautiful new organ gave celestial symphonic ac- companiment. Such an overflowing attendance was indeed a tribute to the Chris- tian faith, not only of members of the church, but those of other faiths and out-of-town visitors who attended.

Frank J. Karlowitch, 26, was killed and the F-51, single-en- gine, single-place Mustang fighter plane he was piloting, was com- pletely demolished in a crash west of Wewahitchka Thursday after- noon of last week. Lieutenant Karlowitch, a resi- dent of Nazareth, Pa., was on a routine training flight when the ac- cident occurred. He was due to land at Tyndall Field about the time of the crash, having been in the air approximately three hours. The crash, seen by a number of motorists on the Panama City-We- wahitchka road, was reported to Tyndall by pilots of other aircraft as well as by attendants of the fire tower, near which it happened. State highway patrolmen were at the scene shortly after the plane plowed into the ground and guarded it until the arrival of a convoy from the air base. Cause of the crash is being in- vestigated by a board of Tyndall, officers. * Karlowitch was adjutant and per- sonnel officer of Tyndall's 3826th Maintenance Squadron and had been in the air force since 1941. He was assigned to Tyndall last year, reporting March 26. Invited To Catholic Fair, Mrs. Ned Porter and Mrs. S. L.

BY PEPPER FOR SENATOR HDQ., TALLAHASSEE DOUBLE-TALK Doesn't Pay Doctor Bills! Claude Pepper's opponents have been doing a lot of sounding off about what they call "socialized medicine" in this campaign. It's n6 good, they say,-- it's "socialized"-- to want to pro- tect your life-savings by paying insurance when you're well, to cover expenses when you're sick. Is Government insurance that insures your bank account "socialized banking"? Then what's "socialized" about a plan that insures your health -and does it at a fraction of the cost of any private plan now in existence? What's "socialized" about a plan that lets patients choose their own doctors and doctors their own patients? Well, the people of Florida know this kind of double-talk doesn't make sense, or pay any bills either. And they know Claude Pepper is for National Health Insurance for the same reason he is for all progressive legislation because it does the most good for the greatest number of people.

Our Country Right or Wrong DEVELOP OUR DEEP-WATER PORTS Florida, the most waterbound state in the Union, has decided to rustle up new money from a source that has been here all the time-its ports. An all-out effort to develop the thirteen deep- water ports is underway by a recently-organized group-the Florida State Ports Association. Figures show that ocean-going freighters with costly cargoes are bringing a tremendous busi- ness pickup to these thirteen ports which offer every advantage to shipping on a full-time year- round basis. Apd this gain is attributed mainly to one thing, the mounting realization by manu- facturers that from Florida it's a comparatively short water run to Latin America and the West Indies. Port St. Joe, one of the thirteen deep-water ports of the state, and in our opinion one of the best and most accessible, particularly to manu- facturers in the north central part of the nation, has shown some increase in tonnage during the past year or so, but it is the belief of business men of the city that this tonnage could be in- creased considerable if some effort were pu, into the matter. Do the taxpayers of Florida have to shoulder the cost of another extra session of the legisla- ture, at an estimated expenditure of $700,000, not to mention a probable increase in the pres- ent state sales tax, just because a group of hard- headed, mulish politicians couldn't get together on a workable revenue-raising plan? CLAUDE IS IN TOUGH SPOT With the senatorial race slipping into high as both Pepper and Smathers continue to campaign with heavy speaking schedules, it looks like the fighting ex-marine from Miami is more than holding his own against the Tallahassee veteran. This is the first real campaign Pepper has ever been called on to make. In 1938 he was re-elected in the first primary over his four opponents, T. C. Merchant, Dave Sholtz, Finley Moore and J. Mark Wilcox, and in 1944, although he went to the November general election, he easily de- feated Miles Draper. But today, the senator is in a tough spot and he knows it. His hope rests in his ability to win the old folk with promises of more and bigger pensions, labor with pledges of higher maximum pay, and the colored folks on civil rights. Pepper supporters worked frantically to register every possible voter in these groups, and apparently made a good job of it if the extra heavy regis- tration of negroes throughout the state is any index. They are also counting strongly on the in- difference and apathy of thousands of citizens who might vote for Smathers if they went to the polls, but who in the past have failed to do so. Pushing his socialistic welfare state program which calls for more and more government spending to give more and more social benefits and increased appropriations, Pepper makes no mention of economy or hint of where the money is coming from, hoping to snare the votes of all who want something for nothing.

Slash Government Cost It your personal or business ex- penses go up and your income and efficiency come down this year at the same rate as that of the Fed- eral Government, you will be in the hands of the sheriff at an early date. Workers, farmers, and business- men from Maine to California know this. The answer is in the Report of the Commission on the Organi- zation of the Executive Branch of the Federal Government. This twelve-man, bi-partisan Commission was unanimously created by Con- gress with the approval of the President. At the suggestion of Mr. Truman, former President Hoover was made its Chairman and Secre- tary of State Dean Acheson, Vice Chairman. The late president Franklin D. Roosevelt long had ad- vocated such a reorganization of the government. There is a two-fold purpose behind the effort to reorganize the Executive Branch of the Govern- ment: One-the elimination of in- efficiency caused by overlapping and duplication; two-this should lead to a reduction of your taxes. If our Government can save from three to four billion dollars a year by more efficient methods of con- ducting our business, failure to act is stupid short-sightedness. Action, however, depends upon the President and Congress. The President has already submitted a number of reorganization recom- mendations. The Congress has adopted several of these, most im- portant having to do with the housekeeping of the armm'd forces, which save the taxpayer more than $500,000,000 a year. But these are only first steps. There will be more ahead if Congress is made to realize Mr. and Mrs. Taxpayer want more tax-saving economies. Congressmen and Senators will vote for just so many of the Commission's recom- mendation as you, their consti- tuents, demand. What can you, as an individual, 'do about it? The answer is to write your Congressman and :Senators. Tell them you want the Recommen- dations of the Commission on the Organization of the Executive Branch of the Federal Government made the law of the land.

Tyndall and Navy Voted Into League Season Opens April 30 With Each Team Playing 28 Games At a meeting of directors of the Gulf Coast Baseball League held in the Port St. Joe city hall last Fri- day night it was voted to increase the number of teams in the league from six to eight, the two addi- tional entries being Tyndall Field and the Panama City Navy Mine Countermeasure Station. Represen- tativesfrom Quincy and Chattahot)- chee were present at the meeting and made oral application to join the league, but were turned down on the grounds that 10 teams would make the setup too cumbersome. Both of these cities had been in- vited previousIl to join, but had refused. Teams now in the league, which opens Sunday, April 30, are Port St. Joe, Apalachicola, Panama City, Wewahitchka, Tyndall, Tallahassee, Blountstsown and Navy.

He Many Voters Seem Not To Realize That Many Other Offices To Be Filled By RUSSELL KAY In the heat and fury of the battle between Pepper and Smathers for the U. S. senate, a lot of voters are overlooking the fact that when they go to the polls in .May they will have a number of other questions to decide. Pepper and Smathers may get the headlines, but don't lose sight of the fact that you will be called on to select congressmen, senators and representatives in your state legislature, s t at e railroad a n d public utilities commissioners and many minor officials. A large percentage of the folks who registered to vote May 2 did so with but one thought in mind, the- Pepper-Smathers race. A clear example of this came to my atten- tion when a friend came to me with a dummy ballot and asked "why it had all those other names on it, and what did they mean?" I explained that the "other" names were those of candidates running for other offices-for con- gress, the state legislature, railroad and public utilities commission, etc. "But they are just names," my friend said. "I don't know a single one of these people or the jobs they are seeking, so how can I vote in- telligently?" "You can't," I admitted, "unless you are willing to acquaint your- self with your government and its functions and then consider care- fully the qualifications of the vari- ous candidates' who are offering for each post." . It happened that this friend had been doing a lot of squawking about the sales tax. I explained that it was the legislature that passed the law creating, the sales tax, and hinted that the next legislature would probably broaden it and per- haps add other forms of taxes as well. "If you are smart," I said, "you will make it a point to learn all you can about the men who want you to send them to Tallahassee to repre- sent you in the next legislature." Then he'asked what the railroad and public utilities commission was and wanted to knqw how it affected him. He did not have the slightest idea how the commission functioned. I explained that its actions af- fected him plenty. I pointed out that this particular commission had su- pervision over the operation of rail- roads, bus lines, telephones, taxis operating inter-city, toll bridges, and could authorize the discontinu- ance of service, set rates and specify the type of service that must. be provided. He was amazed. He dimly under- stood that somebody, somewhere had something to do with such mat- ters but was not aware of the fact that he, as a private citizen, had anything to say about it. "You mean," he asked, "that one of these guys listed here, if elected, can say how much I pay for telephone serv- ice or a bus ticket?" "Not only that," I said, "he can order- your telephone discontinued if you use it contrary to his ruling, or he can determine the route of the bus you ride and might elimi- nate the particular town you desire to reach. In short, he represents you on the commission and his sworn duty is to protect your inter- est along with the interest of the state and all the people." "Holy jumping grasshoppers," he exclaimed, "and I wasn't even plan- ning to bother my head about vot- ing for any of them; all I expected to do was vote in the senate race and let it go at that." And this fellow wasn't dumb. He was a pretty sound sort of citizen. probably wouldn't have registered to vote this year if he hadn't be- come interested in the Smathers- Pepper fight and decided to have something to say about that. But he is plenty interested now, and plans to attend eiery rally and personally meet as many of the candidates as he can. I think that when election day rolls around he will know what the score is and be in a position to express himself in- telligently. How about YOU and your VOTE?
