PORT ST. JOE A Progressive Community With a Modern, Progressive Weekly Newspaper 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 Xlll PORT ST. JOE, FLORIDA, FRIDAY, JUNE 16, 1950 NUMBER 38 Many Kids Participate In Recreation Program First Summer Dance for 'Teen Age Group Will Be Held Tonight At Parish House The playground activities con- ducted as a part of the summer rec- reation program sponsored by the high school were enjoyed by a large number of children this week. The smaller children were divided into teams for the purpose of play- ing group games and participating in relays. Ronnie Young was chosen .captain of the Red Sox, and mem- bers of his team included Doug Walter, Bill Chism, Don Young, C. T. Ponder, Carol LeHardy,. Betty Ward and Susan Gainous. Fred Griffin headed the Sharks, which in- cluded Jimmy Williams, Earl Arn- old, Higdon Swatts, Eda Ruth Kil- bourn, Peggy Scott, Dolores Chism, Eva Kilbourn, Marina Markovic and Bo Williams. The Red Sox won the relay race, involving running only, while the Sharks took the relays in which a volleyball is passed over the shoul- der the length of the team. The Sharks also won the crows and cranes game. However, the Sox took the dodgeball contest, with Betty Ward and Ronnie Young the best dodgers for the Sox, and Hig- ,don Swatts and Eda Ruth Kilbourn, best for the Sharks. Pat Wilder won the softball throw held for the junior girls with a toss of 114 feet. Virginia Swatts was second, and Lois McFarland third. Boncile McCormick and'Mafy Ged- die tied for fourth. Freddie McCall won the softball throw for the junior boys with a toss of 189 feet. Lefty Freeman was second and Billy Gaillard third. A number of other boys exhibited .strong throwing arms but couldn't match this trio. Walter Wilder won the softball throw for boys 12 years and under when he uncorked a heave of 159 feet. Blair Shuford was runner-up, and Ted Arnold was third. Boxing is proving popular with the younger boys at the playground and many spirited matches are held daily. Jimmy and Bo Williams, Hig Swatts, Robert Nedley, Alexander Lanthrop, Abe Miller and Jimmy Wilder are among those participat- ing. Eda Ruth Kilbourn challenged Jimmy Williams to a bout, which Jimmy readily accepted, and the re- (Continued on page 7) Would Turn Over All Sales Tax Revenues To Schools Since Florida now has a sales tax, with no likelihood of repeal in sight, Walter W. Rose, chairman of the Florida Association of Realtors County Shows Gain of 582 In Past Ten Years Census Figures Give St. Joe Gain of 373 and Wewa- hitchka Loss of 255 According to preliminary figures released by the census bureau this week, the population of Gulf county today is 7,433, a gain of 582 in the past 10 years, the 1940 census show- ing a population of 6,951. The city of Port St. Joe showed a nose-count of 2,747, as against 2,374 for 1940-a gain of 373. The 1930 census gave St. Joe 851 residents. An unofficial estimate by Byron W. Eells Jr., Gulf county supervisor of the census, gives Greater St. Joe (Port St. Joe, Oak Grove, Kenney's Mill and Highland View) approxi- mately 5,065 residents. The city of Wewahitchka didn't fare so well, the count showing 1,2S5 inside 1the city, as against 1,530 in 1940-a loss of 255. The 1930 census gave the county seat city 584. A check of the 1930 census fig- ures for Gulf county against the 1940 and '50 figures shows conclu- sively what just one industry can do in jumping population. Before the St. Joe Paper Company mill was constructed, the county had a population of 3,182, and in 1940 the figure had jumped to 6,951, an in- crease of 118.4 per cent. Figures on Gulf county's popula- tion do not go back further than 1930, since the county was carved from Calhoun in 1925. Oak Grove Dark Horse In Junior Ball League Upset Dope By Defeating Towners In Opening Game of Sea- son Tuesday Oak Grove upset the dope bucket Tuesday by downing the Town team 10-7 in the opening game of the Junior Baseball League. The Grovers are the smallest team in the league, but Tuesday served no- tice ,that they aren't to be taken lightly this year. Walter Wilder, diminutive south- paw ace, set the Town hitters back without a bingle for five innings, but he weakened in the sixth and was touched for three runs. Gene Paulk went to the hill in the seventh for Oak Grove and was greeted by a barrage of base hits that resulted in four runs for the Towners. The rally was snuffed out by a fine throw by Benny Hudson, hustling Oak Grove catcher, that nipped Billy Gaillard's attempt to legislative committee and a former steal third. member and past president of the "Lefty" Freeman pitched six inn- state senate, wants its total re- ings for the Town team, but a sore ceipts allocated to Florida public arm impaired his effectiveness. schools, thus relieving counties of Loose play by his mates afield con- school financial worries. tribute to his defeat.

Plans Underway To Welcome Florida's Libert' City officials and members of the American Legion, in conjunction with the Port St. Joe Junior Cham- ber of Commerce and S. L. Barke, chairman for the treasury depart- ment's Independence Bond Drive, are developing plans to welcome a replica of the famous Liberty Bell which is to be displayed in Port St. Joe on Monday, July 3, in front of the new municipal building. The replica is one of 52 cast by Plans Get Underway For Gulf County Fair Second Annual Event Will Be Held In Wewahitchka This Year; Date To Be Announced Ralph Rich, president, and W. S. Smith, secretary, of. the Gulf County Fair Association, accompanied by W. P. Comforter, commander of Willis V. Rowan Post 116, Ameri- can Legion, met at Wewahitchka Tuesday night with members of the county seat Legion post to start the ball rolling for the Second An- nual Gulf County Fair, which this year will be sponsored by the We- wahitchka Legion post and will be held in the county seat city. No definite date was set for the fair, due to the fact that arrange- mernts will first have to be made for a carnival for the affair. Con- sensus of opinion was that a date about the middle of October would be most suitable. Forty-seven Pound Tarpon Is Caught In St. Joe Bay Occasionally a lucky fisherman catches a tarpon in St. Joseph's Bay, and last Saturday morning S. A. Barrett was one of those lucky individuals. Fishing out from the pilings of the old railroad pier with Henry Maige and Joe Brooks, Barnett hooked onto a tarpon which, being boated after a terrific battle of an hour and thirty-five minutes, was weighed in at 47 pounds. The fish was caught on a Shake- speare glass rod and Phleuger Pal- o'-Mine plug, the line being a 36- pound test, all of which were pur- chased from the Brooks Sporting Goods Store (free advt.). -----*(----- Don Marietta Jr., Married Word has been received here of the marriage of Rev.

Legion Post Will Oppose World Government Plan Amendment Will Be Placed Before Voters of Florida At No- vember Election Willis V. Rowan Post 116, Ameri- can Legion, will go on record at its meeting tonight as being opposed to a "limited world government" amendment which will appear on the Florida ballot in the November general election, according to Com- mander W. P. Comforter. "There is no good purpose to be served by this proposal," said Com- mander Comforter. "It will merely set up another organization similar to the United Nations and will give Russia just another opportunity to stick her nose into affairs of the United States. We of ,the American Legion are unalterably opposed to it and will see that the people of Port St. Joe learn just what it is all about in order that they may cast their ballots intelligently in the Novmber election." The amendment as it will appear on the November ballot, reads: "Do you as a soverign citizen of Florida and the United States of America, direct our representatives in the national congress to urge the presi- dent and the congress to take the lead in calling for amendments to the United Nations charter,strength- ening the United Nations into a limited World Federal Government capable of but limited to enacting, interpreting and enforcing laws to prevent war?" Commander Comforter points out that practically every mother who reads that and is no more informed on it than the great majority of people, would vote for it because she would be of the belief that it would prevent her sons being sent to war again, and such would not be the case. Visitors During Week-end Mr. and Mrs. Bill Varnham of Bainbridge, Ga., and Mr. and Mrs. Michael Namynanik of Panama City were visitors during the week-end of Mrs. T. E. Parker and family.

Saints Battle for To p Position I n Gulf Coast League Lead Hangs On Sunday Tilt Here With Blountstown Buccaneers With the Saints winning from Wewahitchka here Wednesday by a 4-0 score, Apalachicola defeat- ing Blountstown 5-3, and Panama City taking the cellar-dwelling Tallahassee Capitals 7-6, Sunday's game here with the Blountstown Buccaneers will be of vital im- port. Should the Saints lose, it will place them in a tie with the Bucs for top honors, provided the Panama City Seahawks drop their Sunday game to Apalachicola. If Panama City wins and Port St. Joe loses to Blountstown, Pan- ama City will take the top posi- tion. Let's all go out Sunday and cheer the Saints on for a win. The St. Joe Saints, stumbling around near the bottom of the heap since opening of the Gulf Coast League season, last Sunday jumped to a tie with the league-leading Blountstown Buccaneers when they downed the Panama City Seahawks here by an 8-0 score, having pre- viously battered the Buccaneers 12 to 5 last Friday night in a makeup game played in the Calhoun county city. Aiding the Saints in reaching the perch at the top with the Bircs was a surprising 4-2 victory chalked up by the Wewahitchka 'Gators over Blountstown. In the Friday night game Jimmy Schantel hurled the first seven inn- ings for St. Joe, being relieved in (Continued on page 7) Two Boys Will Go To Boys' State Meeting Will Study State Government With Some 300 Other Youths From All Parts of Florida George Harper Jr., sponsored by Willis V. Rowan Post 116, Ameri- can Legion, and Philip Chatham, sponsored by the Moose Lodge, will leave Sunday for Tallahassee where the political arena is being cleared for action when the seventh annual "Boys' State" gets underway for a week's session. The two local boys will join with some 300 other boys from all parts of the state to learn what makes government tick by taking it apart, putting it together again and mak- ing it work. During the week's session the cit- izens of Boys' State will elect a governor, lieutenant governor, sena- tors, representatives, mayors, coun- cilmen, county commissioners and city managers. In order that the boys may follow official procedure in carrying out their governmental programs, Dr. Wilson K. Doyle, dean of the Flor- ida State University school of pub- lic administration, will brief the boys, before they go into action, on the official rules manual used by the Florida legislators. To bring the fine points of gov- ernment to the boys, many of Flor- ida's cabinet officers will discuss various aspects of governmental problems the first day, before the "citizens" take over for themselves. The boys will be housed on tlb FSU campus, where they will regis- ter and 'be a.gigaed quarters. I_ PAGE TWO THE STAR, PORT ST.

I 'Ladies' Morning' Observed By St. James' Laymen Members of the Laymen's League of St. James' Episcopal Church en- tertained their wives and' guests at breakfast following their corporate communion last Sunday morning at 7:30. The event has become an an- nual affair and is called "Ladies' Morning." In honor of the occasion, the cooking committee added grits and hot rolls to its customary menu of scrambled eggs, bacon and quanti- ties of hot coffee. B. B. Conklin, president of the league, presided at the breakfast and called on Mrs. W. A. Roberts to report on the activities and ob- jectives of the Woman's Auxiliary. Mrs. Roberts reported that the wo- men have been active in sending missionary supplies an d money overseas, and that the total united thank offering of the women of the Episcopal Church last year came to more than two million dollars. Mr. Conklin reported on the work of the Laymen's League and then introduced the rector, Rev. Lee Graham, who spoke to the group about objectives of church work for the coining year. St. James' Church has recently passed a milestone in its history. Beginning in May, the local con- gregation became self supporting and no longer needs financial as- sistance from the board of missions of the diocese. Many letters of com- Baptist W. M. S.

Our Country -' Right or Wrong VACATION DAYS ARE ESSENTIAL Children of Port St. Joe, along with children all over the country, have put away their school books, to enjoy the summer vacation. To the children, the time has arrived for fun and relaxation, of freedom from school routine, discipline, homework and examination. They take readily and eagerly to this change to all-day play and outdoor life, and especially are they taking to the summer recreation program set up for their benefit, under the direction of Coach Marion Craig. We adults see school days as necessary to the mental and educational growth of the child. Simi- larly, we can look on his vacation days as essen- tial to his healthy physical growth. Immediate benefits can be seen the first few days a child is home from school. In some cases, lagging appe- tites perk up, and some children begin to sleep better because increased fresh air and exercise bring on a healthy fatigue at the end of the day. Although school days mean a certain amount of confinement and deprivation of outdoor exer- cise, they do tend to foster regular habits of eat- ing, sleeping and cleanliness among children. So parents are urged to see that just enough of the attention given to the child's health during school weeks should carry over into the summer vacation to assure that he returns to school happy and healthy, though probably unwillingly, in Septem- ber. There is an understandable tendency on the part of parents to allow things to "slide" during the summer months. And while we're on the matter of the kids run- ning loose during vacation, we should keep in mind the fact that they will be playing every- where on the streets, despite the recreation ac- tivities at the school playground. They will be doing all kinds of things that a child's mind can conceive-and believe us, that's plenty! It is up to us grownups to see that no harm befalls them. The largest number of children killed in traffic accidents are of the 5 to 14 year group, and most of these are killed during vacation. So let's all of us car drivers in Port St. Joe try to make this a safe summer for the children by driving care- fully. Many years before Christ, Plato wrote his Re- public in which he advocated a Utopian exist- ence. Though men were to work little, they were to be heavily regulated to become mere wards of the state. Even Plato admitted that such a sit- uation could exist only in Plato's mind or in heaven.-Fredericksburg (Texas) Standard.

The daily bag limit of 25 fish, in- cluding not more than eight black bass, will be strictly enforced, as a number of fishermen have already discovered. However, game fish once attached to a stringer or put in a box cannot be thrown away to be replaced by another fish. This move was made to stop the practice of discarding a smaller fish after a larger one had been caught. Another new ruling permits fish- ermen to use up to three poles re- gardless of what county they are fishing in. New licenses went on sale the first of the month and are now available at the office of any county judge. These licenses became valid yesterday and state wildlife offi- cers will honor them.

Only homer of the contest went to Fish Herring in the seventh with one aboard. In Sunday's game with the Sea- hawks, Calhoun handcuffed the vis- itors, allowing but four singles and four walks. The vaunted Tex Tyler, on the mound for Panama, was nicked for ten hits, including three doubles, and issued eight walks. Be- lin paced the Saint attack with four hits, two of them doubles. The Saints put the game on ice in the second inning when Belin was walked, was sacrificed to sec- ond and an error put Weisenback on first. Two consecutive singles shoved three runners across the plate. Two more runs were marked up in the fourth when Tommy Mitchell was walked and Belin brought him home on a double. Belin came in when Trussell laced a single into left field. Another walk in the sixth led to two runs as Calhoun was sent to first on a free pass and Mitchell was on by an error. Two consecu- tive errors by the Seahawks scored In the eighth, Mitchell singled and crossed the plate for the final run of the game on a double to left field by Belin.
