Ask Citizens To Rally

To Keep 'Doodlebug'

Merchants' Association Feels Train
Should Be Kept Running
for Good of City

The Port St. Joe Retail Merchants
Association is appealing to all busi-
nessmen and individuals in the city
and surrounding territory to be
present at the hearing to be held
at 10 a. m. August 2 in the court
house at Apalachicola when the
Apalachicola Northern Railroad Co.
will again present its petition to
the Florida Railroad and Public
Utilities Commission for "permis-
sion to discontinue the "Doodle-
bug" which runs between this city
and Chattahoochee.
The association points out that
discontinuance of the train will do
away with the present mail, ex-
press and passenger service pro-
vided by the railroad which, it
points out. could not be duplicated
satisfactorily by other means of
transportation.
The plea of the railroad for dis-
continuance will be heard August 2
and the opposition will be heard
the morning of August 3. "Every
citizen who is interested in keep-
ing this service should also make
an effort to attend this hearing,"
said Glenn Boyles, as spokesman
for the Retail Merchants' Associa-
tion. "Those who intend to attend
this hearing are requested to meet
at the city hall at 8:30 a. m. on
August 3 in order that we may go
in a body to fight this threat to our
future effectively, forcefully, and,
as a consequence, successfully."

HOT WEATHER EDITION

The weather the past few days
has just been too doggone hot to.
get out a paper, consequently our
readers get but six pages of The
Star this week.
We could have made it eight,
having plenty of reading matter,
a great deal of which is being
held over until next week. We
persuaded Wayne Suttram of the
Danley Furniture Co. and B. W.
Eells of the Firestone Store to
hold their ads until next week,
and we didn't dare go by to see
G. F. Lawrence at Costin's De-
partment Store for fear he'd ask
for a big follow-up ad on his 30th
anniversary sale.
It's too hot for you people to
read, anyway. Why don't you all
go fishing?

and $34,500 from other sources, for

Proposed expenditures are $179,-
139 for teachers salaries, $15.000
for transportation, $16,875 for capi-

Sheriff Byrd' Parker stated that
according to witnesses the fire or-
iginated in a.bedroom, and when
