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, JUNE 9, 1950 NUMBER 37 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.

The playground at the high school will open at that time and will be open from 9 to 12 daily thereafter. "Patrons are requested not to send children to the, playground who are small enough to require in- dividual attention," said Craig, "as the personnel available cannot give them the supervision they should have."

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.

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 TEN YEARS AGO From the Files of The Star Dell Mahon Taken By Death Delma C. Mahon, 56, passed away last Friday morning at a Thomas- -ville, Ga., hospital following an ill- mess of five week from peritonitis. Funeral services were held Sunday in Apalachicola from the home of Ihis sister, Mrs. H. D. Marks, with interment in Magnolia Cemetery. Ship Guarded Against Sabotage Tom Owens and J. A. Lilenfeld -were assigned as guards aboard the Norwegian steamship "Tanajford" tied up at the local dock this week to take on a cargo of lumber from the St. Joe Lumber & Export Com- pany. Such action is necessary to prevent possible sabotage, as Nor- way is at war with Germany. Lions Club.

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.

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.

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."

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!

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 objectionable to me, too," Perry is quoted as replying, "but the ob- stacle is that I have a five-year con- tract with him, and it has two years to run." advertising Dcesn't Cost It PAYS, Week-end Visitors were week-end guests of Mr. and Mr. and Mrs. Marvin Corim and Mrs. Clyde Gentry. daughter Becky of Thomasville, Ga., I P I It Pays To Advertise Try It.
