Playground Activities

Are Recorded On Film

*Overnight Camping Trip for Group
of Boys Is Big Event
of Week

Highlight of the week's activities
.at the playground was the filming
of all children participating in the
various events. A 16 millimeter
camera was used in the filming and
some 200 feet of film was shot, Fer-
rell Allen Jr., acting as cameraman.
The kids are looking forward to
seeing themselves on the screen.
Base running against time was
the main competitive event for the
boys this week, the lads in the 12-
year-old group showing unusual
speed. Walter Wilder won with a
time of 44.2 seconds. Jimmy Howell
was second with 45 seconds, and
Blair Shuford took third with 46
seconds.
.In the 13-16 year group the same
.speedy atmosphere prevailed, the
-event being won by Freddie McCall
with a time of 43.5 seconds. Billy
Gaillard was second with 43.9 sec-
onds, and Benny Roberts third with
44.2 seconds.
The first camping trip for boys
was pronounced a success by all
members of the party. W. C. Fore-
hand graciously allowed the use of
his land on the Beacon Hill road,
and it proved an ideal setting.
A young tent city sprang up in
short order, and after pitching camp
the boys enjoyed a swim in the
Gulf until sundown, returning to
The party later hiked to the
beach, built a huge bonfire, played
.games, told tall tales and enjoyed a
watermelon feed before returning
to camp and hitting the sack.
The early risers awakened the
camp and after an early breakfast
swimming was the order of the day.
At this time the youngsters were
given an unexpected treat when
Coy Raffield came into the swim-
ming area with his fishing boat and
took all hands for a cruise in the
bay. This ride brought the camping
trip to an end.
Marion Craig, who sponsored the
expedition, states that parents of
the boys making the trip should be
proud of them, as their behavior
was fine the entire time.

Former Resident Visits
Mrs. Frank W..Beer and daugh-
ter Sue, of Phoenix, Ariz., wera
week-end guests at Hotel St. Joe.
Mrs. Beer was a resident of St. Joe
some 35 years ago, and will be re-

The Apalachicola Oystermen de-
feated the Saints here Wednesday
afternoon 8-4 in a game that saw
the local team toss away the tilt in
the first three innings on a series
of errors which netted the visitors
six runs.
The Oystermen made one run in
the first frame, three in the second

carried when put to a vote, that the marked up one run in the second
board change the regular meeting and two in the third to make the


date from the second Tuesday in

ter the first Monday in each month,
beginning in July. This places the
next meeting date on July 4, and
undoubtedly the commission will
not meet on this particular date.

the same terms and conditions, as
other Gulf county patients.

The Saints made another counter
in the fifth, but Apalachicola coun-
tered with a tally in the seventh
and another in the eighth to end
the scoring for the afternoon.
Eddie Meharg started on the hill
for St. Joe, but was relieved in the
third by Jim Schantel. Apalachi-

game, one of them an imported Cu-
ban hurler who seemed to have
something on the ball that caused
it to go almost straight up in the
air when hit.

State Had Population of Less Than 50,000 When Delegates
Convened At Old St. Joseph To Draw
Up Basic Law

By HAROLD BELL
With the 1950 census certain to show the state of Florida as hav-
ing one of the most rapid increases in population during the past
ten years than any other state in the southeast, it seems proper for
the present state government and all functions to be compared to
an event of 112 years ago the framing and later adoption of the
first constitution of Florida.
In the year 1838 Florida was a territory and not a state, with the
population scattered all the way from the southernmost tip of the
peninsula at Key West north to St. Augustine and then westward
*to Pensacola. Less than 50,000 per-

for a beautiful ceremony which
united in marriage Miss Alva Lee
McGlon, daughter of Mr. and Mrs.

of white shadow organdy over taf-
feta, featuring a sweetheart neck-
line and long sleeves which termi-
nated in points over the hands. The
fitted bodice was fashioned on prin-
cess lines from which the full skirt
extended into a short train. Her veil
of illusion hung from a coronet of
white carnations. She wore a string
of pearls, a gift of the groom, and
carried a satin-covered prayer book
topped with white carnations and
streamers.
Immediately following the cere-
mony, a reception was held at the
Parker home, which was decorated
throughout with arrangements of

DEMONSTRATION CLUB
MAKES PAPER FLOWERS
The theme of the White City
Home Demonstration Club meeting
last week at the community house
was "The Making of Crepe Paper
Flowers." As Mrs. Wilma Revell,
home demonstration agent, was-un-
able to attend the meeting, the dem-
onstration was given by Mrs. Jim
Sealey and Mrs. Henry Sewell. Two
attractive arrangements of crepe
paper flowers were presented for
observation and a step-by-step dem-
onstration k-as given for the mak-
ing of a calla lily.
The entire meeting was devoted
to the demonstration, as a special
business meeting had been called
the previous week.

GARDEN NOTES
PORT ST. JOE GARDEN CLUB
Keeping the Lawn Green
These 'are the things to remem-
ber in caring for the lawn now that
hot weather is here:
1. Cut the grass high. Never clip
shorter than 11/ inches in the sum-
mer. Too close cutting exposes the
crown of grass plants to the hot
sun; continual close cutting results
in a decreased root system.
2. Mow the lawn regularly once
a week to keep it looking really
trim all summer. If the grass is al-
lowed to get too high between cut-
tings the lawn will turn brown
when the grass is removed.
3. During hot, dry periods, give
the lawn a good soaking once or
twice weekly. Never be guilty of
giving frequent light sprinklings as
this causes the roots to grow near
the surface.
4. Save grass clippings for the
compost heap or spread them about
the roots of shrubs to add humus to
the soil. Do not leave the clippings
on the lawn to dry in the hot wea-
ther, as the heat generated in the
process of decomposition will burn
the grass.
Return From .South Florida
Mrs. Austin Huggins and children
returned Thursday of last: week
from a ten-day vacation trip spent
in St. Petersburg and other South
Florida cities.
Visitors From California
Mr. and Mrs. John Peterson of
Los Angeles, Calif., arrived Sunday
for a visit with their daughter, Bar-
bara Jo Bond, and Mr. and Mrs. B.
F. Hunt. Barbara Joe will return
to Los Angeles with them for the
summer months.

Our Country Right or Wrong

WHAT A DIFFERENCE!
A short while back the Russians made a great
to-do of the fact that, by government decree, re-
tail prices on a long list of items had been sliced
by as much as 50 per cent. The Russian govern-
ment did not mention that the average Russian
worker is paid the equivalent of $34.61 per week,
nor what, after the wonderful price cuts, he must
pay for various commodities.
Pork costs him $4 a pound, and rice $1.67. A
pound loaf of bread comes to 68c, and butter is
$5 per pound. A man's suit can be taken off the
shelves for a mere $280, while a woman's dress is
given away at $110. A table model radio can be
had for $272, and a midget motor car for $2000.
All the worker has to do is to save enough each
week out of his $34.61 to buy what he wants!
Here are the fruits of total government owner-
ship and control of production and distribution.
Retailing in Russia, for example, is non-competi-
tive as we understand the word. The state runs
the stores-aside from a few luxury emporiums
which can be patronized only by the ruling class
-and determines what will be stocked and what
will be' charged. The customer can like it or
lump it.
Contrast this with the stores found right here
in Port St. Joe. The results of a free competitive
market are evident on every side. Glenn Boyles
offers dresses at a bargain price, and Costin's De-
partment Store meets it or goes a bit lower. The
A&P Food Store advertises canned beans at llc
a can, and immediately McCoy's, the Quality
Grocery, Stephens Grocery and other food stores
mark theirs down to lic a can, or perhaps to l0c.
This results in better goods, attractive service,
and the lowest possible prices.


"THE FOLKS BACK HOME"
One of the healthiest current signs is the grow-
ing concern of the people over excessive govern-
ment spending, deficit-financing at a time when
the national income is running at record levels,
and the depressive effects of present-day taxes.
But it is also apparent that a great many people
are not putting the blame entirely where it be-
longs.
It is all very well to criticize congress and the
administration for their fiscal sins, the editor of
The Star cusses' em out regularly. However, the
forces that make for wasteful government are
right at home-in the grass roots-perhaps not so
much in Port St. Joe as larger communities, but
virtually every chamber of commerce, every civic
organization, every industrial council farm or-
ganization and labor organization are constantly
pounding the drums for more tax money for their
special benefits. Economy is okay for the other
fellow, but the more money the federal treasury
pours out in their direction the happier they are.
There are exceptions to this, as we have pointed
out, but they are too few in number.
This is also true of some businessmen with
whom we have talked in Port St. Joe-who, of all
people, should know better. They point to the
need of economical government as a bulwark to
the national security, and yet they turn around
and say that as long as the government is spend-
ing all this money, why not get some of it into
Port St. Joe or Gulf county.
The members of congress are only human.
They generally follow the wishes of "the folks
back home" who have the votes-ask Bob Sikes,
he can tell you. And Bob, along with the editor
of The Star, will tell you, and you, and you, that
we will have sound, stable and economical gov-
ernment when-and only when-the people de-
mand it.

The boys up in Washington are jumping about
like grasshoppers on a hot stove regarding a pol-
icy on China, Russia, India, etc., and can't seem
to agree on one for any of them. However, when
they start getting dizzy, they can always take
time out and get in agreement on one thing and
that is to spend more money and create more bu-
reaus.-Waldoboro (Maine) Press.

Beware of any scheme that advocates addi-
tional federal control, increased spending and in-
creased taxes. We in the United States have
taken our freedom for granted, but must not do
so longer. There are many who under the guise
of "Security for All"'would take it away forever.

Formal Floral Planting is


Charming Garden Accent


This view would be welcome from any window.


A garden accent, or focal point,
while a necessary factor in good
design, need not be impressive,
elaborate, or expensive. It should
stand out in contrast with its back-
ground, yet be in harmony with its
surroundings.
Against a shrubbery border, a
formal paved area, centered with
a bird bath, and edged with a bor-
der of annuals, will make a charm-
ing focal point, especially as the
terminus of a view from a window,
terrace or porch. It might be large
enough for a few garden seats,
shaded by a garden umbrella, which
would allow the sunshine full ac-
cess to the flowers.

will grow in bushes 18 inches high,
and they will bloom throughout the
summer. Violet alyssum, planted
as a ribbon of purple at the base
of the white flowers, will remain in
bloom long after the early frosts.
For another attractive color

Cattle Fencing Law


Is Effective July 1


Owners of Livestock Hence-
forth Liable for Damage
Incurred By Animals

Florida livestock owners have ex-
actly one week from today to make
provision for keeping their animals
off the highways, and Gulf county
stock owners have been and still
are working feverishly to get fences
up before the deadline.
The statewide law requiring stock
to be kept off the roads goes into
effect Saturday, July 1. It was
passed by the 1949 legislature after
many previous sessions had turned
it down.
A large number of counties al-
ready have laws banning livestock
from the roads of the whole county
or parts of it. To the rest of the
counties, including Gulf, compul-
sory restriction of wandering stock
will be something new.
The law says, simply: "No owner
shall permit livestock to run at
large on or stray upon the public
roads of this state." How the owner
keeps his livestock from straying is
his own affair, and fencing seems
to be the only practical way.
Those intentionally or carelessly
letting their animals stray after the
first of July will be liable for dam-
ages or accidents caused. They can
be sentenced to six months in jail
or fined $500, or both.
Sheriff Byrd Parker and his dep-
uties will be responsible for pick-
ing up strays in Gulf county and
impounding them. The animals can
be sold to the highest bidder within
three days after the animals are
picked up, provided the owner has
been legally notified and does not
call for the stock and pay all in-
curred expenses. Impounding fees
include $2.50 for each animal, mile-
age, serving notice, care and feed-

ing, advertising and disposition of
animal. The service notice will be
$1.50; feed and *care 50c per day;
whatever is necessary for advertis-
ing; $1 for the sale and disposition,
and 50c for report of sale.
If there is no bidder fbr an im-
pounded animal, it can be killed
and disposed of. If any money is re-
ceived it will go toward expenses,
and if there is no ready sale for the
meat it can be given to public in-
stitutions in the county or given to
charity.
In cases where livestock is sold,
any balance left after deducting ex-
penses will be turned over to the
owner on proper proof of owner-
ship. This proof must be made to
the county commission within 90
days after the sheriff reports the
sale.
While the owner has a liability
to the people for letting animals
roam at large, he also has rights.
If he feels impounding fees are un-
fair, he may post bond (not to ex-

new Chevrolet models. Definitely, they're America's first-choice trucks. Heavy-duty
units feature a brand-new 105-h.p. Valve-in-Head engine with the power to pull
heavy loads and conquer steep grades. They offer new Power-Jet carburetion for
smoother, quicker operation. They bring you the fast, safe shifting of Chevrolet's
0 j4-speed Synchro-Mesh transmission. But whatever your
Hauling requirements, Chevrolet trucks are your best bet.

AGE ESTULF


FLORIDA HAS COME

(Continued from page 1)
nor at the close of the Civil War,
and Thomas Brown of Leon county
probably was the same man who
served as governor of the state from
1849 until 1853.
The first three United States sen-
ators were delegates at the conven-
tion-James D. Westcott Jr., David
Levy Yulee and Jackson Morton.
Five delegates sat in the secession
,convention in 1861 when Florida de-
clared herself no longer a member
of the Union, and at least five dele-
gates became representatives in
congress from Florida. At least five
members of the supreme court in
later years were also convention
delegates.
A check of the official delegates
to the convention will reveal the
names of many prominent families
in the various counties of that time,
and many are still so today.
During the convention proceed-
ings, political maneuvering for con-
trol of certain committees naturally
took place as well as for other
things. The chairmanship of the
convention went to Robert R. Reid
by only one vote over William P.
Duval, former territorial governor
from 1822 to 1834, and who was


the delegate from Calhoun county,
in which St. Joseph was located.
After an unduly long session,
which lasted until January 11, 1839,
the convention delegates signed the
completed document which was the
first constitution for Florida. This
was to serve as the main frame-
work for the statehood which was
granted in 1845 when Florida came
into the Union at the same time as
Iowa.
Prior to Florida being admitted
as a state, there was considerable
protest by certain groups who said
the territory did not contain a suf-
ficient number of people for state-
hood to be granted. According to a
census taken in 1838, as reported
in the book, "Florida Becomes a
State," by Hanna, the territory had
only 48,223 persons in that year. Of
this number, 21,132 were slaves and
958 were free blacks. In 1844 the
population of the territory was re-
ported as being approximately 57,-
000.
This was the situation when Wil-
liam D. Moseley became the first
governor of Florida after it became
a state. Statehood was granted on
March 3, 1845, and Mr. Moseley,
Democratic candidate, won in the
first general state election on May
26 of the same year over the Whig
party candidate, Richard K. Call.
