THE STAR PORT ST. JOE A Progressive Community With a Modern, Progressive Weekly Newspaper VOLUME XIIIl FORT ST. JOE, FLORIDA, FRIDAY, JULY 14, 1950 Budget for Fiscal Year Will Be Presented To Commission July 24th' Other Matters Taken Up By Gov- erning Body of County At Regular Meeting At the regular meeting of the board of county commissioners held in the court house at Wewahitchka, the members discussed the county budget for the next fiscal year be- ginning October 1, 1950, and ending September 30, 1951, after which B. E. Kenney Jr., chairman, instructed Clerk George Core to make up a 'budget according to figures given him by the board and to present it at a special meeting called for July 24 at,9 a. m. *Among other matters taken up by the board was the selection of names of qualified citizens to be placed in the jury box for the ,county judge's court for the year 1950-51, there being 201 names se- lected. (Due to lack of space, the list is not being published, but is available for any of-our readers to look over.) Sammy Patrick, county tax as- sessor, came before the board and asked for an extension on the time to present the 1950-51 tax roll, and the time was extended to July 24. Ira Hill, county commissioner of Bay county, came before the board with reference to a gate across the old Farmdale road that leads into Bay county and asked that the board request the St. Joseph Land, & Development Company to remove. the gate. A representative of the land company was present and ex- plained why the gate was put up. After some discussion, Hill told the ,board it would be satisfactory with the Bay county board if the land company would give all property owners a key to the lock on the gate, which was agreed to by the land company representative. Only' other business of import- ance, outside of payment pf routine bills against the county, was accept- ance of the $1000 bond of Marvin 0. Freeman, who had been named as a deputy sheriff by Sheriff Byrd Parker. Wewahitchka's Levy On Gasoline Invalid Circuit Judge E. Clay Lewis Jr., Monday set aside convictions and fines assessed again Franklin Britt, Wenman 'Wade and Haywood Bor- ders by the city of Wewahitchka for refusing to collect a one-cent- per-gallon tax on gasoline levied by the city. The three service station opera- tors refused to collect the tax to set up a court test of the city reve- . nue measure. They were arrested, convicted and fined in municipal court. Judge Lewis' ruling had the ef- fect of vacating the ordinance. Vacationing In Pennsylvania Mrs. Jimmy Greer left Sunday for a vacation of several weeks with her daughter and family, Mr. and Mrs. Carl Zimmerman, in Steelton, Penn; Kenneys Building Home Mr. and Mrs. Basil E. Kenney Jr., have under construction a spacious dwelling on Monument Avenue near the J. L. Sharit residence. Called. To Father's Bedside Mrs. R. D. Prows was called to Baskin, La., last week due to the serious illness of her-father, W W . Smith. COSTING'S DEPARTMENT STORE OBSERVING 30TH ANNIVERSARY Beginning: today and running through July 24, the Costin Department Store is celebrating the 30th an- aniversary of its founding with a big sale. Costin's was established in July of 1920 in the 'building on Monument Avenue now know as the Shirey Apartments, the stock consisting of groceries, meats, hard- ware, dry goods, furniture and caskets. The store was moved a few years later to the building now occu- pied by the Quality Grocery and the St. Joe Hardware, a sideline of gasoline and oils being added at that time. As the town grew there was a need for more space, so the present building you see above was con- structed and the line of dry goods moved into the new structure. Port St. Joe owes much to C. G. Costin for the service he has always given the citizens of this community, not to mention his untiring efforts to serve in civic affairs and his willingness to always lend a helping hand to those in need. May we offer congratulations on his long years of service and bid him Godspeed in the future for success and happiness. Saints Toss Tilt To ST alhaassee Hectic Game Wednesday Bundle of Errors Allows Fifth-Place Capitals To Take Game By 7-6 Score Before the unbelieving eyes of a horror-struck capacity crowd of St. Joe ball fans Wednesday night un- der the lights at the new park, the Saints committed error after error to allow the fifth-place Tallahassee Capitals to walk off the field with the long end of a 7-6 score.. In an effort to stem the tide, Manager Belin used four pitche,-s in order to get possible pinch hit- ters into the lineup. Eddie McHarg held the mound until the middle of the fifth, when Howie Calhoun was rushed in, followed by Jim Schantel in the. seventh and Weisenbach in the final canto, but results -were nil. The visitors chalked up two runs in the opening frame when, with two outs, Gresham fumbled an in- field hit and threw wild to first, allowing the runner two bags. The next man up homered over the left field wall for the only circuit clout of the game. The Saints, in the bottom half of Young Men Required To Reyis r for Draf Required That All Between Ages of 18 and 25 File With Local Board B. W. Eells, Gulf county mem- ber of the Gulf-Franklin county draft board, states that it is neces- ;ary for all young men between the ages of 1S and 25 to have their names on file at selective service headquarters. All young men must register at the time they reach 18, and those already registered are required to notify the board immediately if there has been any change in their status, such as getting married or having an addition to the family. Those who have been discharged from the armed service and who are not registered are also required to have their names on record, said Eells. While headquarters for the two- county :board is in Apalachicola, Mr. Eells states that those who are required to register may contact him at the Firestone store. National headquarters of selec- tive service has announced that the first quota has been set at 20,000 men, burt that it would probably be the first of September before induc- Local. Scout Hears Talks By President and General 'Ike' Having Big Time At Three-Week Boy Scout Jamboree At Valley Forge Val Cathy, who is representing the Port St. Joe Boy Scout Troop at the three-week Boy Scout Jam- boree at Valley Forge, Pa., writes that he is having a big time and is taking in all the sights. Writes Val: "When we arrived in Washington on our way to Valley Forge we stayed at the naval re- ceiving station and before going on to Valley Forge done some exten- sive sightseeing. The tour took us to the Smithsonian Institute where we saw the Wright brothers first airplane and other famous planes, also guns, paintings, flags and other historical relics. We also went to the museum of natural history. We also saw the Washington Monu- ment, the Lincoln Memorial and Arlington Cemetery where we saw the tomb of the Unknown Soldier.

" Port St Joe-The Outlet Po y" THE STAR Is Devoted To the Con- tinued Development of Port St. Joe and Gulf County NUMBER 42 Opening Game Under New Lights Is Rained Out In Sixth Inning Exhibition Tilt With Apalachicola Taken By St. Joe; Win Sun- day's Game With Oystermen The standing room only sign was hung out last Friday night at the local ball park as a capacity crowd gathered to see an exhibition game between Port St. Joe and Apalachi- cola under the new lights installed at the park. The Saints came out victorious with a 6-0 win over the Oystermen, although the game was called in the sixth inning due to rain. Bob Weisenbach and Jimmy Schantel hurled for the Saints, limiting the visitors to four hits. Martinez, the Cuban moundsman for Apalachi- cola, also allowed but four hits. | 'The Oystermen returned to this City Sunday for a regular league game which turned out to be a lala- paloosa of a pitchers' duel between Lefty Coe, new moundsman for Ap- alachicola; and Calhoun and Schan- tel. The Saints scored the first run of the game in the third frame when Calhoun was hit for a walk, and Lambert and Price were both walked by Coe to load the bases.' Calhoun came home after the catch when Houser poled out a long fly to center field. Apalachicola tied it up in the sixth when, with two out, Baxter was handed a walk -by( .jho1m and Benefield banged out a three-bagger to left field. 'The Oystermen were in scoring position again in the eighth, with a man on third, when Schantel was sent in to relieve Calhoun and nipped the threat. It was still 1-1 in the bottom of the ninth when Belin came to bat with Houser on first and poled out a two-base hit to right 'field-yep, we said right field-to send Houser scampering across the plate. The Apalachicolans were taken by sur- prise, as Belin invariably sends his drive to left field, and the visitors were playing him that way. Other Sunday games around the loop found the Panama City Sea- hawks downing the Wewahitchka 'Gators 6-4, and the fifth place Tal- lahassee Capitals losing a nerve- wracking 12-inning tilt 6-5 to the Blountstown Buccaneers. Koren Situation Is Affecting Buying Gunfire in Korea is reverberating in Port St. Joe, a check of several retail stores indicates. Food prices are showing a slight increase, particularly meats and coffee, and some "scare" buying is reported, such as automobile tires, metal goods and household linens. Owners of the establishments are blaming wholesalers for the higher prices. At New York Hospital Miss Fay Morris writes us from New York: "Please send my paper to New York. I'm here for three months' pediatric affiliation from Emory Nursing School. I'll be here 'til September 25 and will enjoy reading The Star." Fills Local Pulpit S. F. Lowery Jr., son of the pas- tor of the Wewahitchka Methodist Church, filled the pulpit of the St. Joe Methodist Church at both the morning and evening services in the absence of Rev. L. W. Tubb.

Our Country Right or Wrong A SLIGHT 'TOUCH' OF TAXES The editor of The Star doesn't consider him- self the repository of all knowledge, and neither can he classify himself in the moronic or idiotic group. We feel that we have control of a few more words than the average individual-which really is a necessity even in editing a country newspaper like The Star. We try to increase our store of knowledge all the time-in fact, we have to-and the other day we ran across a bit of knowledge that really in- trigued us. It was the fact that the word "tax," with which we are all so familiar, is derived from a Latin slang term that means "touch." It origi- nated during the last 500 years of the Roman Empire's existence, and anyone who has studied ancient history knows that the average Roman citizen was "touched" pretty regularly and quite heavily, just as we are today. .... In fact under your friend (he ain't ours) Truman it is getting to resemble more of a push than a touch. We can easily sympathize with the attitude of TEN YEARS AGO From the Files of The Star Defense Highway May End Here Plans for a four-lane concrete highway to serve the army in times of national defense have been com- pleted and approved.

An equal mixture of peat humus and terralite, or sharp builder's sand and peat may be used as a rooting medium. Use a sharp kffife. Treat cuttings with rootone for luxuriant roots and keep barely damp enough to prevent drying out. NEW TB HOSPITAL TO BEAR NAME OF W. T.

Y, w8 RIDInrA lii J 4A IO Florida Second In U.S. In Number Of Woods Fires Mississippi Leads In Number Fires; Oklahoma Leads In Area Burned Florida holds the unenviable po- sition of being second among the nation's states in number of woods fires and area burned. This is in- dicated in the forest fire statistics for 1949 just released by the U. S. Forest Service. The records reveal that last year Florida had 30,157 woods fires that burned an area of 3,216,301 acres. Only Mississippi had a worse rec- ,ord in number of fires. Figures show that Mississippi had 46,358 woods fires. Oklahoma led the na- tion in area burned with 3,804,409 acres destroyed..- In amount of damages from the woods fires, Florida ranked fourth with $4,499,401 in damages. Mis- sissippi was first with $12,627,836, Georgia was second with $8,566,544 .and Oklahoma was third with $5,- 101,6366. The report showed that Florida had 47.3 per cent of its 22,886,904 acres of forest land under protec- tion, or approximately 10,821,667 acre~. This places Florida in the position of having the second low- est percentage of its forest lands under .protection. Oklahoma had the lowest percentage with 35.1 per cent, or 3,576,212 acres. Florida had the second highest .amount of protected. acreage burned Marianna TB Site To Be Used As Training, Convalescent Center Will Give Patients Opportunity To Become Adjusted Before Re- turning To Homes One of the most important steps In the control and treatment of tu- berculosis to be taken in Florida will be the establishment .of a con- valescent training and rehabilita- tion center in Marianna. This state- ment was made at St. Petersburg by Dr. Arnold Anderson, chest spe- cialist and a member of the state tuberculosis board. The facilities now being used at Marianna for the Northwest Flor- ida Tuberculosis Sanatorium, will be converted to the convalescent cen- ter when the "'new hospital for this area is built in Tallahassee. "At the present time we have a long waiting list of patients need- ing admission to our tuberculosis sanatoriums," said Dr. Anderson. "Why are they not admitted? To a great extent it is due to the fact that chronic ambulatory patients in these institutions are not ready "to return to their home community. They are either sources of infection or they are physically or emotion- ally unable to cope with the com- munity setup. The only solution at present is to keep these patients in the sanatorium as long as possible to prevent them from breaking down again and infecting others. "It is expensive to keep a' sana- torium bed occupied by a chronic case that should be used for an acutely ill patient. We must not -2l7,301 acres.

It will provide-the step- ping stone-the link between the sanatroium and the home for those patients needing that training pe- riod." The new center will offer the convalescent properly supervised good health habits, proper food, shelter and recreation. A variety of -recreational and vocational pur- suits will be designed to meet the demands of the individual. It .will be a gradual testing of strength so that the growth back to healthy life will not be jeopardized. "The vocational training these convalescents receive will be of tremendous benefit to them as they step from training back to commun- ity life," concluded Dr. Anderson. "The lift that it will give to these people physically, financially and from a morale standpoint is diffi- cult to overestimate." - -----r------ - With 40 percent of the forest area of the United States, the South has only 21 percent of the sawtim- ber volume.

The economy run, said Vic, will include thousands of truck owners all over America who will keep complete day-to-day records of their actual truck operations, including every mile traveled, every load car- ried, every gallon of gas and oil ,consumed, and total repairs and maintenance. Robert Bellows of the Gulf Hard- -ware & Supply Co. is Port St. Joe's .entrant in the economy run, said Anderson. Bellows' truck, a Ford F-5 flat-bed model, can be identi- fied by the orange and black signs which are. mounted on all trucks throughout the nation that are par- ticipating in the run. BellpWs. w~ts selected because he as operate trui s in Port St. Joe for anore than 12 years and because of his experience and familiarity with trucking problems. Every Ford truck model and all truck-using vocations will be rep- resented in the economy run in suf- ificient numbers, Anderson declared, -so that results are expected to dem- .onstrate not only the economy of Ford truck operation, but to estab- lish a realistic "yardstick" of truck .operating economy for 411 truck- -using industries as well. People Can Make A Better World, Says Tyndall Instructor Tells Kiwanians That In Business 'A Smile Begets A Smile' A challenging address was de- livered recently to members of the -Port St. Joe Kiwanis Club by Dr. *Conrad Freid, who is attached to -the Tyndall Field instruction per- -sonnel, when they assembled at their regular luncheon hour. Dr. Freid was introduced by act- ing program chairman Harry Mc- Knight, and his talk, aimed at all business and professional people, was acclaimed as both timely and .stimulating by those hearing him. "The duPont slogan, 'A Better World Through Chemistry,' actually is hardly applicable to the world of trade and business," said Dr. Freid. "The same is true of most other advertising slogans. We all know that a better world and better busi- ness is achieved by and through people." He elaborated upon this 'statement by showing how good -business and lasting public friend- ship is realized by the man who learns how to make friends with . his customers, respects their wishes and lends an understanding ear to their buying problems. "The old saying, 'A smile begets a smile,' cn be practiced to very good advantage by all of us, in our business relations, and a sour dis- position can soon drive away many potential satisfied, customers," the speaker pointed out. ' Dr. Freid stated that it is the pur- '-.pose of the air university to make its students leaders of men and to teach them to win and hold the re- spect of the men they cominand and work with. ----*----- *,^ Visiting In Altha \ Mrs. M.

Do You Want To Cut Your Federal Taxes? your W-ste Taxes No reasonable man questions the need for taxes to pay the cost of governmen~lr services. Everyone should be killing to pay a fair share of, his income forf'that pur- pose. But nobody wants to under- write extravagance--in the home. in business or in government. The -bi-partisan Commisjon on Organization of the Executive Branch of the Government, created by Congress with the approval of President Truman and headed by former President Hoover, has pro- vided a chart for the elimination of governmental extravagance and waste. This past year, because of dup- lication and overlapping in the Armed Services we wasted about one billion dollars out of the fifteen billion spent for National Security. In 1948 two agencies planned to build the same dam in nearly the same place at Hell's Canyon, Idaho. Each set of plans cost about $250,- 000. The plhns differed by approxi- mately 75 million dollars in esti- mated cost of erection. It now costs the Post Office De- partment two and a half cents to print and deliver a penny poet card.

HU MOST ROOM MONUMENT AVENUE the time of the Commission's sur- vey, had 6,500 empty beds in its hospitals, yet VA and other gov- ernment agencies have planned or are building additional hospitals at a eqot aof over a billion dollars, when 54% of the available beds are not now -occupied. "This is Aice io Wonderland. It takea more than $10 worth of paper work to complete a govern- inental purchase order. For example, by the time the necessary paper work is completed, a 50 typewriter ribbon costs the taxpayer about $1U. Turnover of labor is recognized by all industry as expensive. Yet in the Federal Government labor turnover runs about 25 per cent, a rate much higher than any private business could stand. This means that every year approximately 500,000 either leave or enter a gov- ernment job. The personnelpsystem is clogged with red tape. The best men leave because of the low pay scale, and the inefficient cannot easily be discharged.' If enacted into law, the Com- mission recommendation to remedy these and other defectsin conduct- ing our Federal business would save the taxpayer three to four billion dollars a year.

Tommy Dobbs, Kenney's right- hander, pitched fair ball, but the hitting of the Highlanders is hard to curb. Donald Parker paced the Viewers with two blows in three tries. Williamson and R. Richards contributed safeties in the big third inning assault on Dobbs that resulted in four runs. Bo Bray, Ken- ney thirdsacker, lashed a double with the hassocks filled to account for all his team's runs. The Town team's "Lefty" Free- man returned to form in a big way as he limited the Oak Grove nine to one hit in a 5-1 victory. The lope safety came as the result of a per- fect squeeze bunt by Ronnie Young, Oak Grove centerfielder, that sent Wilder home with the lone tally. .Young Walter Wilder hurled a good game, but several mental lapses on the part of his mates con- tributed to the Town total. Wilder limited the Towners to four hits, with Benny Roberts solving his southpaw slants for three bingles. Waring Murdock blasted a triple to right center for the only extra -base blow of the game.

'Creeping Eruption' May Be Picked Up On Our Bathing Beaches Skin Condition Due To Dog and, Cat Hookworm; Extremely Hard To Cure The combination of brief swim suits and pet animals running loose on bathing beaches can produce a skin condition that's both definitely aggravating and hard to cure, ac- cording to the state health, board. The skin condition is due to dog and cat hookworm that infests a highly percentage of these animals and which is spread to people who walk or lie on infected ground. Dog and cat hookworms do not go into the inner body of man, but they do produce a skin disease known by the medical term "larva migrans," and generally referred to as "creeping eruption." When the dogs or cats who have this particular type of hookworm soil the ground where people play or work, some of the hookworm larvae enter the skin, making a reddish blister at the point of en- trance. These larvae move between the layers of the skin-sometimes as much as two or three inches a day-and produce a reddened path- way. This itches intensely and of- ten when scratched, becomes in- fected. It is quite difficult to cure, and if you don't believe it, just ask Joe Ferrell, who had it recently. He was shot so full of dog vaccine that he went around barking for three weeks. The hookworm larvae can live many days in Florida's sun-warmed sands, lying in wait for the un- wary, and since the modern bath- ing and sunsuits are designed for brevity, the risk of infection is greatly multiplied, because much more epidermis is exposed.
