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-

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

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.).

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

guest this week Miss Molly Lorms

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

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.

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.


Socialized medicine will fix it so that little
Johnny will have to wait six months to get an en-

Fishing Regulations

For 1950-51 Set By

6 a mie Commission

Only Few Minor Changes;
Everybody Can Now Use
Up To Three Poles

With a few minor exceptions, the
1950-51 fishing regulations promul-
gated by the state game and fresh
water fish commission remain sub-
stantially the same as last season.
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. The new li-
censes will expire on June 30, 1951.

Meeting Night of Legion
Post Changed To Friday

At the last regular meeting of

can Legion, it was unanimously
voted to change the meeting night
of thhe organization from the first

First meeting under the new set-
up will be held tonight, and all Le-
gionnaires are asked to attend,

Bill Cromartie out of the box in
the first frame and then proceeded
to paste most everything offered by
Jimmy Givens, who relieved Cro-
martie. 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.
