PORT ST. JOE A Progressive - Community With a Modern, Progressive Weekly Newspaper THE STAR "Port St. Joe The Outlet Port for the Apalchicola-Chattahoochee Valley" THE STAR Is Devoted To the Con- tinued Development of Port St. Joe and Gulf County VOLUME XIll FORT ST. JOE, FLORIDA, FRIDAY, JUNE 30, 1950 NUMBER 40 Im, II m m mm i..ni imlgiI Former Slave Is Still Active At Age of 104 Says World Would Be Better Today If People Would Quit 'Fussing' By HAROLD BELL Gulf county's oldest resident and one of the oldest in the state, Aunt Laura Wiggins, colored, and fairly active at the age of 104, is a most interesting character in many ways. She returned only Sunday of last week from a visit to her son in Day- tona Beach, and despite her age made the, trip alone. She makes several trips each year and intends to continue them until her "Master calls me home." In observance of her 104th birth- day on last December 9, a party was given by her friends in Daytona Beach where she was then visiting. A large picture of her was carried on the front page of the afternoon newspaper there, and this was one of her rare thrills to see "the pic- ture of a plain old slave woman." After a conversation with this lively character, one wonders how things got into the condition they are today. Aunt Laura is of the opinion that "people wrangle and fuss too much today, instead of lov- ing and helping each other like they used to do." She, remembers vividly the. : ir,.in, 'ii, an~cd(in- Sditions of her immediate vicinity when news was brought to their plantation community that "t h e war" had come. Aunt Laura was born in 1846, which made her a slave "house girl" about 14 years old when the Civil War broke out. She was a member of the plantation group owned by "Master Lucius Allen and his mistress, Lizzie."

Saints Take Seahawks To Hold League Lead Play At Wewahitchka Next Sun- day, In Apalachicola July 4, and At Blountstown Wednesday .The St. Joe Saints continued to hold top position in the Gulf Coast League by defeating the Panama City Seahawks 9-1 Wednesday eve- ning behind the hurling of Howie Calhaun, who had a shutout up un- til the ninth inning. Belin started the scoring in the third by banging out a triple with two on. Other outstanding Saint stickmen were two newcomers, Breezy Gresham, who held down the keystone bag and got a single and two triples, and Moss Cowart, third baseman, who also chalked up a triple. As far as we can learn, Blounts- town defeated the Wewa 'Gators Wednesday, and .the Apalachicola : Oyestermen took the Tallahassee Capitols down the line. Port St. Joe will play at Wewa- hitchka Sunday and will go to Ap- alachicola July Fourth to play an exhibition game with the Oyster- men. Next Wednesday evening the Saints will meet the Blountstown Buccaneers under the lights at the Calhoun county city. League Standings Club- W L Pet.

Hunt and Mr. and Mrs. Max Kil- bourn this week became members of our exclusive club. ll i'~t.^^^l l M? Postmaster Will Ask Survey for City Mail Service Would Take In Greater St. Joe Area With Estimated Population of 4,750 Postmaster H. A. Drake stated yesterday that he .will request the postoffice department to make a survey of the area served by the Port St. Joe postoffice to determine Iihe feasibility of _tabli-hing city jiier. mail .er, He pointed out that a tabulation of the recent 1950 census returns indicates 2,747 persons as residents within the corporate limits of Port St Joe-the boundaries of which have not been extended since the city was chartered in 1913-and that an additional estimated 2,000 persons reside at Oak Grove, High- land View and Kenney's Mill. These communities are all located at the rim of the city limits, thus giving Greater Port St. Joe an approxi- mate population of 4,750. It is the belief of Postmaster Drake that a delivery service would benefit these communities and also afford an improved service to city residents. Two previous efforts to secure city delivery were made in 1941 and 1947, but on account of the widely scattered areas of de- velopment and lack of street im- provements, the department de- clined to authorize the service. Within the past two years, how- ever, more than $100,000 has been spent for street improvements in the city, and considerable road and street work has also been done in the adjacent communities. School Board Meeting Postpoped Supt. Tom Owens states that the regular meeting of the Gulf county school board scheduled for July 4 has been postponed to Friday, July 7, at the office of the superinten- dent in the court house at Wewa- hitchka. in the manufacture of hot dogs.

Lockey and daughter, Hot Spell Puts Strain On New Water Well Necessary At Times To Pump From Old Well; Second Well Will Be Cut In Shortly Despite the fact that the city's new water well has been pumping into the mains for some time, peo- ple have been complaining lately that at times the water seemed to be just as "red" as it was when the supply came from the old well. It was-but they were the ones who were causing it. The long hot, dry spell we've been having, which was broken by a welcome downpour Wednesday afternoon, caused resi- dents to turn on their lawn sprink- lers, generally in the late after- noon, and in the evening practic- ally everyone was taking a bath or shower. Consequently a rather se- vere strain was placed on the new well between 5 and 10 p. m., and at Limes it was necessary to pump from the old well, thus diluting the clear water from the new well with the "red" water. However, this will be remedied shortly, according to Mayor Jake Belin, who informs us that the sec- ond new well being put down by the Gray Artesian Well Company should be completed within the next week or so and then, when it is necessary to augment the regular supply of water, the second well can be cut in. Contractors Move In To Start Monument Paving Widening and Repaving of Avenue At Cost of $86,000 Will Start Immediately The contracting firm of Coggins & Deermont, of Chipley, who were awarded the contract of widening and repaving Monument Avenue from First Street to Ninth Street at a cost of $86,000, have been bringing in equipment and men the past two days in preparation to starting work on the project. The job calls for a 60-foot pave- ment, a six-foot sidewalk on each side and storm sewers. In addition, provision will be made for water and sewer mains. This is the first step in widening Monument Avenue its entire length -the second step being similar widening of the avenue from Ninth Street to the eastern city limits and from First Street to the west- ern city limits at an estimated cost of $100,000. An effort is being made by city officials to have the contracting firm use as much local labor as possible in the work. ----4--- Accepts Pastorate In Miami Beach Rev. and Mrs. Maurice Fain, who have spent the past two months vis- iting relatives in this:city, Bain- bridge, Ga., and in Homestead, Fla., left Monday for Miami Beach, where Rev.

Mr. and Mrs. Kilbourn stood on the porch under an improvised can- opied arch of southern smilax en- twined with golden dawn roses on a background of palms and mag- nolias, to receive their guests. The guests were ushered into the living room where the golden wed- ding motif was carried out in de- tail. The mantle was centered with gold marigolds and banked with lace fern. Two lighted golden candles were on either side of the centerpiece and the soft lights were reflected by the antique gold leaf mirror. The guests signed in a book with the names "Eda Max" and dates "1900 -1950" in gold lettering and tied with golden cord. The punch table, in the music room, was covered with a Batten- berg cloth used over 50 years ago on the bride's table o ofone of Mrs. Kilbourn's girlhood friends, the late Etta Cumbleworth Messina, and the fruit punch with floating gold sherbet was served by the grand- daughter of Mrs. Messina, Miss Memorie Louise Porter, from an an- tique punch bowl encircle with mag- nolia leaves and marigolds. , The cake table was covered with an Italian cutwork cloth overlaid with loops of gold satin ribbon. An arrangement of golden calla lilies in a gold-rimmed crystal bowl cen- tered the table. Gold-rimmed crystal candelaba holding burning golden tapers were at either side of the centerpiece. The cake was em- bossed with golden roses and en- circled with sprays of maidenhair fern.

Mrs. Roy Gibson, accompanied by Mrs. Mark Tomlinson at the piano, sang Mr. Kilbourn's favorite song, "Where the River Shannon Flows," then Mrs. Kilbourn softly rendered on the piano "When You and I Were Young, Maggie." The golden wedding couple and their friends then went into the yard, where golden punch was served by Misses Ida Ethel and Eda Ruth Kilbourn from ice punch bowls into which were frozen bou- quets of marigolds tied with white illusion and gold satil-.ribbon. The Misses Elizabeth Ann Brown and Eva Margaret Kilbourn assisted in the serving. Mrs. Kilbourn, nee Eda Pickett, was born in Apalachicola in 1876. She attended Union Female College at Eufaula, Ala., and graduated from Southern Female University, Birmingham, Ala. She took a-grad- uate course in piano at Thornberry Institute of Music in Atlanta, Ga., and her composition, "Ripples of Carrabelle," inspired by the moon- light reflected on the Carrabelle River, has become locally famous, as has "Echoes of Saint Joe," which she played during the celebration of the 'birth of Gulf county in 1925. Mr. Kilbourn was born in Oxford, Mich., in 1873, coming to Apalachi- cola while a young man. He at- tended the University of the South at Suwanee, Tenn., and was a mem- ber of the Pi Kappa Phi fraterniay. Later he graduated' from the Geor- gia Normal College and Business Institute at Abbeville, Ga. Mr. Kil- bourn, who is a veteran of the Span- ish-American War, went into the wholesale fish and ice business in Carrabelle in 1899. Mr. and Mrs. Kilbourn were mar- ried in Carrabelle in 1900, living there until 1920,, when they moved to Port St. Joe and have continued to make this'city their home. Approximately 300 friends called to congratulate the golden wedding couple, and many telegrams and letters were received wishing, them many more happy anniversaries. * BOYLES FIRST WITH FIREWORKS FOR THE 4TH * * JUNE 30 JULY 1 and 3 Cracking, Popping, Precedent-Making Holiday Values for Your Greatest Fourth A Roaring, Record Breaking First Time Offer! 30x60 Sun and Fun STRIPED TERRY BEACH TOWELS DOLLAR DAYS only $1.00 Yes, made to sell for $1.50. .We are cracking the value whip loud!

Our Country Right or Wrong J QUACK MEDICINE The New York World-Telegram and Sun re- cently ran an editorial on your friend (he ain't ours) President Truman's suggestion to congress that small business is in need of help. Truman said that this situation was the result of a serious lack of adequate venture capital for small busi- ness, and proposed that the government come to the rescue with a five-point program including insurance of small-business bank loans, broader lending powers for the RFC, government pro- moted and chartered national investment com- panies, and other pallatives. The newspaper said: "Mr Truman's message, however, does not go into the reasons why the 'traditional sources' of venture capital for small business have dried up. The chief of those rea- sons is excessive government taxes, collected by a system which gives people who might invest in small business enterprises compelling reason to fear that the possible gain is not worth the risk of loss. "More useful than any of their president s five points, or all: 4 them. would be determined ac- tion to cut down government waste anid extrava-, gance, stop squandering so much of the people's money, reform the tax system and take less capi- tal away from.private enterprise, small and large, through taxation and borrowing.", Venture capital is just what the name implies. It is the money that goes into new businesses, most of which begin in a small way. The investor knows he is taking a risk of losing all or most of it. Therefore he naturally wants the possibility of earning a good return if the enterprise is a suc- cess. When excessive taxation destroys that possi- bility, capital dries up. This is a much more serious matter for the new than for the old business. The latter is estab- lished; it has its markets; it has capital and credit. So big, all-inclusive government-which grew that way in the name of the "little man" and the "little enterprise"-actually harms those it is sup- posed to help.

There is some point to the 'lame duck" status of a defeated member of congress, but there seem to be many reasons'for holding the primary elections early in the year, rather than later, that counterbalance the "points" brought out by Rep- resentative Sikes.. First, as soon as January rolls around in a cam- paign year, everybody becomes political minded. They. stay that way until the primary elections are over, which is disturbing to business and to other activities. If the elections were- put-over'" until July, say, we would have just that many more days of politics. And, it should be remem- berd, there are only a few candidates coming out for congress, where there are hundreds of other candidates, for county and state offices, who do not come under the "objections" set up by Representative Sikes. Another consideration, and an important one, is that if the elections were set up to the middle of the summer, after the schools close, hundreds of people would' be away on vacation, and would neither have the opportunity to hear the candi- dates speak their pieces nor, in all probability-, take the time and trouble to come home to vote. Let's let the primary dates stay as they are un- less there seems to be some compelling reason why they should be changed.-Ocala Star-Banner Most folks have presence of mind-the trouble is absence of thought.

JUNE 30. 9 SA P S GUOE Plan Defense Unit For Each County Gulf County Council Will Probably Be In Operation By First of September A defense council, probably will .be organized in Gulf county by Sep- tember 1, since plans of the state defense council call for such an or- ganizatiion in each of Florida's 67 counties by that date, according to Frank Wright, assistant to Gover- nor Warren. Col. R. G. Howie, at present with the army at Jacksonville, will take over as state defense director to- morrow at a salary of $6000 a year. Everyone in Port St. Joe can re- member how before World War II the local defense organization be- came a part of everyday life. Volun- teers were organized into auxiliary policemen, fire fighters, messen- gers, first aid crews, etc., and free first aid courses were given. And everybody was issued an arm band showing what his specialty in the defense setup was. However, the new setup probably will take a different form. The council is being financed by $30,000 contributed from the appro- priations of nearly every depart- ment of the state, since the war- time defense council was abolished and its appropriation cut off by the 1947 legislature. The next legisla- ture will be asked to set up a regu- lar defense appropriation. OUTSTANDING TB SPECIALIST HEAD OF STATE'S SANATORIA One of the nation's outstanding specialists in tuberculosis control, Dr. Henry C. Sweany of Chicago, has been appointed chief medical director for all Florida state tuber- culosis sanatoria, according to an announcement yesterday by W. T. Edwards, chairman of the state tu- berculosis board. Dr. Sweany, who will assume his duties October 1, will direct the medical services of the state's four TB sanatoriums. Prior to accepting the Florida po- sition, Dr. Sweany was medical di- rector of research and director of laboratories at the Municipal Tu- berculosis Sanatorium in Chicago for 30 years. FORMER SLAVE (Continued from page 1) of this plantation was about six miles west of Tallahassee. Ferrell Allen, employed at Mr. Drake's postoffice, is a great grand- son of the Lucius Allen who owned Aunt Laura when she was a slave girl, and according to him, his fa- ther's knowledge of the family his- tory goes along with the experi- ences related by Aunt Laura. Life on the plantation was both enjoyable and satisfying, according to Aunt Laura. Not only were the slaves treated good by "Master Lu- cius," but they "all loved him." Food and clothing were always plentiful and the life of all the slaves was good, she says. Before the war ended, Master Lu- cius purchased a plantation near the present town of Sopchoppy, in Wakulla county. The .move was made, according to Aunt Laura, about two years before "the presi- dent told negroes they could be free if they wanted to be." In their new home, she says that the land was good, cotton, corn and rice were easily grown and that crops were good. The men had easy times, with hunting and fishing, as there was plenty of fish and game to be had. Each Christmas for a number of years the slaves received new shoes or clothes from the Allen family. Before Master Lucius died in 1867 or '68, he would go to Tallahassee just before Christmas and bring back a wagon load of presents for his slaves. Aunt Laura says that her father, Abram Allen, went with Master Lucius when the report was received that the slaves were free. Because their life was one of con- tentment, none of the' slaves left to take their freedom, but stayed on and worked for the 'Aliens. About two years after Master Lu- cius died, "Missus Lizzie" went to her rest, says Aunt Laura. Then LeRoy Allen, the only son remain- ing at home, took charge of the plantation until he decided to sell much of the land and move to near- by Carrabelle. Not to be left be- hind, Aunt Laura soon came and worked for Mr. LeRoy for a period of several years. In reviewing her married life, Aunt Laura recalls that she has been married four times, being 23 at her first marriage. She rapidly recalled the names of her husbands as .being Langston Jordon, Henry Williams, Calvin Jones and James Wiggins, the last, who died in 1912. Since that time Aunt Laura lived at her home in Carrabelle for sev- eral years, and for the past 13 years has lived in St. Joe with her grand- son and family. She is deeply religious and says that she left the Methodist Church several years ago because of "wrangling in the church." She then joined the Church of God In Christ here and still attends services when she is able. "My spirit wouldn't work right until I got 'out of the fusses in my old church," she said.
