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." -K Divinity Student To Conduct Services At Episcopal Church Van B.

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? *0.- ** County Petroleum Industries Committee To Meet Thursday A reorganization meeting of the Gulf county petroleum industries committee will be held at the Port St. Joe municipal building next Thursday night at 7:30.
