PORT ST. JOE A Progressive Community With a Modern, Progressive Weekly Newspaper THE STAR THE STAR Is Devoted To the Con- tinued Development of Port St. Joe and Gulf County "Port St. Joe -The Outlet Port for the Apalachicola-Chattahoochee Valley" VOLUME XIII PORT ST. JOE, FLORIDA, FRIDAY, APRIL 21, 1950 NUMBER 30 Little Interest Shown In 1944 Senatorial Race But 45 Per Cent of County's Qualified Voters Went To Polls Since the people of Gulf county will be called upon to choose a U. S. senator to serve them in Wash- ington for the next six years, it is interesting to check the official records of the last senatorial elec- tion held in 1944. According to the records of Sec- retary of State Bob Gray, there were 3,160 qualified voters on the registration books of Gulf county for the Democratic primaries in 1944. Out of this number of quali- fied voters only 1,434, or 45 per cent actually cast their ballots on elec- tion day, and Claude Pepper was the recipient of 58.1 per cent of the total vote. This apathy and indifference on the part of so many citizens is ap- palling, for in failure to exercise the use of the ballot these folks made it possible for a minority to ,control their government and say who shall govern. This large number of indifferent Democrats in Gulf county, however, were not the only ones in Florida -who failed to perform their duty as good citizens. The figures show that (Continued on page 5) Edd Pridgeon Knocks Off 400-P-ound Bruin Edd Pridgeon Jr., this week has been passing out passels of. bear meat to all his friends as the result ,of his meeting up with a 400-pound brown bear Sunday night. Seems Edd has a herd of bees staked out on the Overstreet road -near Cypress Creek, and he found that a bear had discombobulated four stands some time Saturday night. So Edd proceeds to build a scaf- fold up in a tree Sunday and then sat down to wait, with a flashlight tied to the barrel of his gun. r Brother B'ar comes along for an- other tasty snack and Edd ups and lets him have it where it would do the most good-and, we don't mean in the seat of the pants.

A similar tax in Chipley was per- mitted "to stand by Judge Lewis, who held that the St. Joe and Pan- ama City taxes were assessments against theater patrons and that neither municipality had authority to levy such a tax. The Chipley as- sessment, he said, was a tax against the theater and not the patron. In- cidentally, Judge Lewis, who was city attorney at the time, drew up the tax ordinance for Port St. Joe.

A cordial welcome is extended to all to come and hear Bishop West, to meet him, and to.join in worship, says Pastor Graham. Gov.

Funds Raised in Cancer Crusade Save Many Lives Chairman Calls for Coopera- tion of County In Drive Now Underway Gulf county last week launched its 1950 Cancer Crusade, a drive to raise $560 to fight back at the dis- ease that claimed more than 3,150 lives in Florida last year. The fund-raising drive will be ac- companied by a concentrated edu- cational campaign to tell every man, woman and child in Gulf county how to recognize the symp- toms of early cancer and what to do if cancer should strike, accord- ing to J. L. Sharit, who is the Am- erican Cancer Society's county cam- paign chairman. "The need for funds to fight can- cer is urgent," Sharit declared. "We must raise our minimum goal to continue the fight. We must raise more if real progress is to be made. But it is even more important that we tell as many people as possible the life-saving facts about cancer. That is why our campaign workers will call on the greatest possible number of persons in the county, both to ask for contributions and to give them the facts about the dis- ease.

Our Country Right or Wrong 'A GOOD BUY' Today, and every day, hundreds of shoppers in Port St. Joe will come home with some pur- chase, delighted over the fact that they made "a good buy." It may be a hat from Boyles', a house- hold appliance from Roche's, a dozen glasses from the St. Joe Hardware, a tire from the Fire- stone store, or any one of a limitless number of things. In each case, the buyer found what he wanted at a price he considered right. In this country, with its superb retail organi- zations, we take that "good buy" for granted. It is always available. And the reason we have it is that we live in a free economy in which com- petition is intense, and the awards go to the mer- chant who gives us the lowest price, or the best service, or the most attractive stock of goods, or the most appealing advertising, or some other business-building inducement. Visitors from abroad, where retailing, like all other business, is usually wound tight in govern- mental red tape and obsolete practices, are amazed when they see American stores. They can hardly believe that such abundance exists, and that anyone can buy what he wants without a ration card. What they are seeing, whether they realize it or not, is one of the best examples of free enterprise at work. Politics may be tricky-but not near as tricky as the politicians.

Eells Jr., census enumerator, came across an aged colored woman living at White City who had passed the 110-year mark.- The ancient negress'; Marthf Woodley, said she was born in 1830 in Gadsden county and was the slave of one Charles. Gregory. She is the mother of 17 children, the last of 9whom was bornin 1885.

Such activity reveals the pride that rural peo- ple take in their church and the fact that they are eager and willing to work for it. It also re- veals other significant things. It shows that the belief and faith in divine guidance and strength -one of the great foundation stones of this great country-are as firm and staunch among rural people today as they were among the first settlers, who did not delay in building, first, a place in which they could worship. The religious heritage of America is nowhere more seriously 'accepted nor more closely ad- hered to than it is in rural areas, where people live more closely to nature-and some who have tried both city and country say-more closely to God. In rural areas the people look to the church and what it stands for-for strength, inspiration, and fellowship that are so necessary for their welfare and progress. They go to church and Sunday school and often hold their meetings there, and they recognize it as an institution that is vital to their community. They have affection for it, and they work to- gether to make it strong, beautiful and enduring. The editor of The Star quite often has seen men, women and children raking, digging and plant- ing in rural church yards. Or several men may be working with hammer and saw, repairing or building steps or fences, or putting on a new roof to the church, or painting it. This reliance of rural people in their churches and the support which they give them are heart- ening things in this troubled world. The voters of America are faced with a choice of individual opportunity or "welfare" security. Given the whole truth, there is no doubt that their choice will be the right one. Mantua (Ohio) Record.

S. Department of Commerce. Retail sales in the county during 1948 aggregated over $3,900,000, an increase of 255 per cent over the $1,100,000 in 1939, when the preced- ing census of business was taken. The service trades included in the census recorded receipts totaling $116,000 in 1948, compared with $36,000 in 1939. Employment in the county also rose over the nine-year period for the above trades. Establishments in these trades reported a combined total of 243 paid employes for the work week ended nearest Novem- ber 15, 1948. This compared with a total of 129 employes reported for the week of November 15, 1939. Final figures, superseding this preliminary data for Gulf county, will be included in a bulletin for the state of Florida to be issued in several months. Are You A Good Citizen?

Eells Jr., supervisor in charge of the 17th decennial cen- sus in Gulf and Franklin counties, is calling upon everyone in Gulf county to co-operate fully in this of- ficial nose-count, pointing out that accurate figures will be of benefit to the county. He emphasized the importance of each person residing in the county being checked, as all government grants, including aid to education, old age assistance, soil improve- ment, land terracing, roads, hos- pital aid, and many others are based upon the population of the county. The population figures also have a definite bearing on potential in- dustry locating in a community, as well as people wanting to move into a community. Eells explained that it is neces- sary that all questions asked by the census taker be answered, and that of every fifth person is required a more detailed and personal ques- tionnaire. This is being done as a sample of the population, and will give a good cross-section; also it is used in order to save time in the census taking, as it is more de- tailed and it is not necessary to have each person fill out such a long list of questions. Supervisor Eells states that while the census was supposed to have been completed last Friday in the urban areas, it has been continued through this week due to minor dif- ficulties encountered. The census in the rural sections of the county is expected to be completed within the next few days. Have Guests Mr. and Mrs. N. E.

Camellias, gar- denias, hollies and ligustrum hedges should be sprayed this month with Florida Volck or Emo-Nik for con- trol of scale, white fly, mealy bug and red spider. For the latter, add Black Leaf 40 to the Voick spray. Emo-nik contains nicotine sulphate, so no Black Leaf 40 need be added. For chewing insects and aphis add isotox or arsenate of lead to the spray. For die-back and leaf spot, or other fungus diseases, add Kop- R-Shot or bordeaux to the spray. DDT is the best control for thrips, those tiny yellow-brown threadlike bugs which suck the juices from blossoms of sweet peas, roses, gladiolus, etc. It must be ap- plied 'while buds are still green and should be applied every week or ten days for good results.

TALLAHASSEE Every farmer knows there's a whale of a difference be- tween promising the farmer things at election time, and doing things for him after the votes have been counted. So before you make up your mind about election issues, it's a good idea to check the record: Claude Pepper was born on a farm, is thoroughly familiar with the farmer's problem... Claude Pepper sponsored and fought for the Rural Tele- phone Bill and Rural Electrification Program... Claude Pepper led the fight for Florida's Flood-Control Program... Claude Pepper has always backed price supports for citrus, tobacco, peanuts, tung oil, and many others. (His opponent only last year voted against main- taining the 90% parity support program in Congress.) The record tells the story in a nutshell.

In a pre- vious opinion, quoted in The Star, he said the names of unopposed candidates should be printed on the second primary ballot. Dick gave no reason for his re- vised opinion. If such is the case, should the three-man railroad commission race be settled in the May 2 primary, we can see no need for Gulf county shelling out for a second primary, since all those seeking election as Democratic committee members are unopposed in this county. Advertising Signs for Liquors Ordered Down Under an act of the 1949 legisla- ture, banning outside advertising signs for alcoholic beverages, State Beverage Director Lewis Schott has ordered that all such signs in the state be taken down. Schott's 6rder followed a ruling of the state supreme court upholding Circuit Judge L. L. Fabinski of Pen- sacola, that the law is legal. Liquor interests had attacked it. The law prohibits any outside sign advertising the brand name. It limits neon or electrical signs in show windows to one. Spends Week-end With Parents Cpl.
