Local Youths To

Learn About Our

State Government


George Harper Is Chosen To
Go To Boys' State and Sara
Bray Goes To Girls' State

George Harper, son of Mr. and
Mrs. G. H. Harper of White City,
-will meet with some 300 other
boys from all over Florida at Talla-
hassee on June 18 to learn some-
thing about our state government.
He is being sent as a representa-
tive to Boys' State by Willis V. Ro-
wan Post 116, American Legion. Al-
ternate to attend is Earl McCor-
mick, son of Mr. and Mrs. Barney
McCormick of this city.
On the following week, beginning.
June 25, Miss Sara Bray will attend
Girls' State, being sent by the Am-
erican Legion Auxiliary Unit. She
is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. B.
W. Bray of this city.
These events are sponsored by
the American Legion and Auxiliary,
the clergy, civic, fraternal and edu-
,cational organizations. Boys and
girls selected by these groups from
all parts of the state will be sAnt to
the capital where for a week they
-will be given an opportunity to
watch the functions of state gov-
ernment and set up their own ad-
ministration.
The youngsters will be divided
into groups representing govern-
mental departments. They will elect
a governor and members of the cab-
inet, as well as supreme curt jus-
tices. Other groups will be com-
posed of legislators, commissioners
and other officials.
Appointments of department and
bureau heads will be made by the
governor and, following the regular
procedure, these boys and girls will,
under guidance of state officials,
,be given an insight into the func-
tions of each department.

Let's Make it Wednesday,
June 14th-Not June 4th

In case you haven't yet read the
Port Theater ad on page four re-
garding the DeRizkie Family of ac-
robats who will appear in person
on the theater stage, don't look at
the date, which says "Wednesday,
June 4." It should read "June 14."
Seems a pixie climbed up on the
press when we weren't looking and
lifted out the "1."
Manager.Brown says this troupe
comes to his theater highly recom-
mended with their intricate and .dif-
ficult juggling, acrobatic feats and
sensational trapeze and wire acts.
The picture next Wednesday-
JUNE 14 will be "Joe Palooka
Meets Humphrey," with Joe Kirk-
wood in the starring role.

will open at that time and will be
open from 9 to 12 daily thereafter.

them the supervision they should
have."

planned, including softball, volley-
ball, basketball, kickball, dodgeball,
marble shooting contests, boxing,
track events, movies, singing, bi-
cycle races, swimming, camping,

Local Telegraph-Railroad
Assessments Unchanged

The assessed value of Florida
railroad and telegraph property for
1950 was set by Comptroller C. M.
Gay last Saturday at $117,565,073-
up $991,472 from last year.
The Apalachicola Northern Rail-
road Company and the St. Joseph
Telephone & Telegraph Company
received the same valuations as last
year, the railroad being set at $880,-
000 and the telegraph company at
$15,000.
The Marianna and Blountstown
Railroad was also assessed at last
year's figure of $34,275, while the
Atlanta and St. Andrews Bay Rail-
road was upped from $1,279,394 to
$1,383,748.
Valuations are parceled out to
the various counties to be added to
their tax rolls in proportion to mile-
age of railroad and telegraph prop-
erties they have. Seventeen coun-
ties were allocated lower valuations
than in 1949, mostly because rail-
roads abandoned tracks during the
year.

to live with their fellowmen the
world over in order to prevent an-
other devastating war.

THE TOMORROW
Now that graduation is behind us, we can turn
to other things. But not for those twenty-one
young men and women of the Port St. Joe high
school who were graduated Monday night-the
problems ahead of them are 6f a different nature
than before.
If one could gather together her the entire class in
about twenty years and have a roll call to see
how life has fared with them since the night they
ascended the stage to receive their diplomas, it
would be a roll call filled with sadness and dis-
appointment. Life is a strange mixture of disil-
lusions, and not what is told in the flowery com-
mencement addresses and written fairy tales.
Those boys and girls Monday night were told
that they can shape their own destinies, but more
often outside forces-of which we know nothing
at the time-does the shaping for us. Many a boy
and girl enters the battle of life endowed with
ability, perseverance and ambition, together with

the sense of right living, only to fall by the way-
side through tricks of fate. Especially is this true
in the swiftly changing age in which we are liv-
ing, as Dr. Frick pointed out in his address to
the class. Overnight a man's training and occupa-
tion can be rendered useless by the skill of science
and invention. Never was there a time wherein
so much thought must be given in selecting a
boy or girl's future means of livelihood-and with
the most careful study of the future and what it
may bring, there is still the danger of choosing
the wrong path.
Everything in life is a problem, more so now
than ever, and no boy or girl graduate can start
out absolutely sure that they can swim the rapids
of its complexities without failures. The main
thing is for one to recognize the existence of
them and not to push forward unless you are
sure of your strength.
Youth, fortunately, is filled with strength and
daring. Preserve these, along with a determination
to succeed, and your battle is half won. Don't al-
low a first or a second failure to daunt you. It
may take many hurdles to surmount the ob-
stacles in your way to the green pastures of suc-
cess, and in this way you can still hold the
dreams of graduation night, even if you have not
accomplished all your desires. Sometimes a man
or woman is a greater character in failure than in
our modern conception of success.
The real test-of worthiness is honest effort, to-
gether with a willingness to carry on, free from
bitterness and envy toward the more fortunate
who may have accidentally found smoother wa-
ters in which to swim. This is the substance out
,of, which great characters are moulded, more en-
during in memory than the most worldly and
monetary success. Such men and women are the
real unsung educators of a nation, more revered
and glorified than the kings of the earth.

Urges Changing State
Primaries To Summer

Sikes Points Out That Congress Is
Through Work and Members
Won't Neglect Duties

Congressman Bob Sikes has pro-
posed to Governor Fuller Warren
by letter that Florida change its
primary elections to later summer,
urging that the governor recom-
mend such action to the 1951 legis-
lature.
Sikes pointed out several reasons
for later primaries, affecting candi-
dates for governor as well as for
congress and the U. S. senate.
The state's May primaries are
among the earliest in the nation,
said Sikes, and he said he person-
ally likes it, that way to get cam-
paigning over early in the year, but
he has come to the conclusion that
it is a "disservice to Florida."
The Floridh campaigns come at a
time, he said, when "national legis-


lative policies- and appropriations
for the year are being shaped in
congress." The committee and pol-
icy work begins in January and
continues for weeks or months be-
fore reaching the floors of the two
houses. "Invariably Florida mem-
bers must miss important matters
in Washington. Sometimes Flor-
ida loses materially."
In other states, he argued, pri-
maries are in late summer or early
fall when congress has ended its
sessions and members are free to
campaign without neglecting their
duties in Washington.

Governor Warren
Plans War Defense
Civilian defense for Florida in
case of war will be planned by a
seven-man board to be appointed
.by Governor Warren and using a
full-time director to train the peo-
ple to care for themselves while un-
der attack.
Warren said this is a part of a
-nation-wide program of civil defense
and will be independent of military
activities along defense lines.
LAFAYETTE IS PROUD
(Continued from page 1)
He is no home run socker, but leans
into plenty of line drives over the
infield and between the outfielders.
"Lane played some baseball in
the service, and after being dis-
charged he decided to give profes-
sional ball a studious trial. A bet-
ter than average student in en-
'gineering at Georgia Tech. Lane set
three years as his time limit in
baseball. He was never below Class
A, opening up in the South Atlan-
tic League for the Cincinnati Red
farm system. He had three fine sea-
sons, but decided to quit the game
when he wasn't taken back up by
Cincinnati' this spring. He needed
,only'a couple of semesters to gradu-
ate as an electrical engineer .
and that brings us around to how
he got to Lafayette.
"Bruce Raihey, our night tele-
graph editor, became a friend of
Lane's in the service, and in a let-
ter a few weeks ago, Lane men-
tioned his retirement from organ-
ized baseball and his decision to
graduate at Georgia Tech. Ramey
suggested that John transfer his
engineering credits to Purdue and
,complete his education here, at the
same time picking up a few bucks
with the Lafayette Red Sox.
"Lane has nothing but the best
to say about the Cincinnati Reds
and Tulsa, but simply is a man who
has reached his 25th year i, life
and is determined to become a suc-
cessful engineer.
"Thanks to his army friendship
with Ramey and the ever helpful
Purdue University, Lafayette gains
one of the most promising ballplay-
ers in- recent Red Sox history."

P.-T. A. Members Urged Coe Obnoxious Says

To Attend Short Course Publisher John Perry


Regional Director Hopes At Least
Ten Will Take In the Four-
Day Institute

"Now is the time for all good Par-
ent-Teacher members to come to the
aid of the party," says Mrs. Ralph
Swatts, P.-T. A. regional director,
"namely the new P.-T. A. president,
J. B. Harris, by enrolling in the
fourteenth short course in Parent-
Teacher leadership which is to be
held at Florida State University in
Tallahassee Tuesday through Fri-
day, June 20 to 23."
Theme of the summer institute
this year is that which has been
adopted by the national P.-T. A.
congress, "The Citizen Child; His
Destiny In a Free World." A well-
rounded program has been planned,
according to Mrs. Swatts, one that
will have special appeal for parents,
teachers and other friends of chil-
dren and youth.
"Summer institute provides an
opportunity of hearing some of the
best educators of the nation," con-
tinued Mrs. Swatts, "and Mesdames
Edwin Ramsey, Charles-Brown and
Ralph Rich can testify from experi-
ence that the course is not only ed-
ucational and inspirational, but that
It is also a lot of fun. Eating in the
college dining hall! Sleeping in the
dorms! Enjoying the recreational
facilities provided by the college
and by P.-T. A. leaders! (Ed Note:
Mrs. Swatts is so enthused over the
course that we're almost tempted
to close up The Star office and go
to Tallahassee.)
"Room, registration -and meals,
beginning with dinner Tuesday eve-
ning and ending with lunch on Fri-
day are only $9.25-AND-the Par-
ent-Teacher Association of St. Joe
has earmarked $100 to be spent for
this purpose," concluded Mrs. S.
"so, let's get busy and have at least
ten representing St Joe thi- year!"

A story going the rounds in busi-
ness and newspaper circles in West
Palm Beach, says the Jacksonville
Chronicle, indicates a rupture be-
tween Charles Francis Coe, editor
of John H. Perry's two dailies in
that South Florida city. Perry gave
Coe a five-year contract about three
years ago.
The story is that a delegation of


West Palm Beach merchants called
on Perry to protest Coe's attitude
toward them. "He was arrogant,
obnoxious and unbearable to us," a
spokesman for the merchants was
said to have declared.
"He is arrogant, obnoxious and
