By Enemy in the last game of the schedule.

Marking the first effects of the
Korean war in Gulf county, city of-
ficials of Port St. Joe and Wewa-
hitchka, together with county offi-
cials, at the request of Colonel R.
G. Howie, director of the state civil
defense system, have set up a civil
defense council made up of 57 men
and women.
"Civil defense," wrote Col. Howie,
"is the organization of people to
minimize the effects of enemy ac-
tion against communities, plants
and other installations, to maintain
.or restre those essentials to civil
life, and to preserve the maximum
civilian support of the war effort."
City Clerk B. H. Dickens Jr., has
been named director, with W. R.
Tapper and Clyde Bozeman as dep-
uty directors of operations and J. C.
Belin and Thomas McDaniel as dep-
uty directors 'of administration. An
executive committee to work hand-
in-hand with the director is made
up of George Y. Core, B. E. Parker
and Capt. C. F. Bruner.
Others appointed in the defense
setup include Lee Graham and Mrs.
J. A. Glenn, public relations; Frank
Hannon and J. K. Whitfield, liai-
son; Dan Brooks, H. R. Maige and
Sam Husband, fire protection; H.

Hildreth Dunlap allowed the Town
batters but three bingles, which
gives him five wins and no losses
for the season. Don Parker and
Bob Gibson led the winners' of-
fense with two hits each.
Terry Hinote, stylish left-hander,
turned in a well-pitched game fqr
the Towners, but his mates couldn't
generate sufficient power at the
plate to make it a contest.
All the Junior League teams en-
tered into a playoff this week with
Highland View. the top team, play-
ing Kenney's Mill, the cellar team;
the Town team, which copped sec-
ond place, will meet the Oak Grove
third place team. The winners of
these two games will the meet in
a best-two-out-of-three series for the
playoff honors.

Senator Shivers Favors 2%
Across-the-Board Sales Tax

In speaking before the dnniiali
meeting of the Holmes County Farm
Bureau last week, State Senator
Olin G. Shivers of Chipley came
out in favor of a 2% general sales
tax. He also predicted the 1951 sen-
ate will overwhelmingly pass -the
2% general sales levy to replace
the present 3% limited sales tax.
Shivers, who said he wouldn't try
to predict how a general sales tax
measure would fare in the house of
representatives, estimated the 2%
levy would yield two and a half
times the revenue derived from the
present 3% limited tax.

RIVERS, HARBORS AND 'PORK'
The editor. of Tihe Star daily receives copy
of the Congessionial Record, but seldom diri'e
have an opportunity to look it over and they pile
up and pile up, until we finally decide to toss
them into the wastebasket. However, we gen-
erally glance through a few of them picked at
random, because they can at times be quite in-
teresting. We did that the other day and ran right
smack dab into something of real interest. It was
a portion of the debate in congress on the rivers
and harbors bill.
It seems that Senator Douglas of Illinois was
quite upset over the size of the total appropria-
tion provided for in the measure and was en-
deavoring to knock out some of the items for a
total of about $840,000,000-a nice piece of cash,
we say, and something we'd like to have jingling
around in our pocket.

in the face under your friend (he ain't ours) Tru-

understate the case-irresponsible.

The thing that has fdr a'lit -time kept the:
electorate behind the planned'' and the speech-i
makers has been the promise of gain without!
work-of something for nothing. It is. nothing
more than just a promise: Westerners are told
that they will have new power plants, new irri-1
gation systems and so on, all free at government
expense. Farmers are given heavy subsidies, all
free at government expense. New and beautiful
highways, airports, harbors, and so on, become
realities, all free at government expense. The un-
employed are given relief and the aged are sup-
ported. Veterans receive huge benefits, all free
at government expense. It's wonderful. But not
one penny of it is free.-Everett, Pa., Republican.

to Florida in the summer time a
few years ago, but now they are D.
just as apt to bounce in on you bag

get up before daylight; if you don't
you'll find that the tourists got
there ahead of you, and you are out
of luck if you can't walk on the
water.
The big resort hotels that used

to close for the summer now stay
open all year. The beaches are so
crowded with people that even the
fiddler crabs are moving out. It is
no fun passing a car on the road
anymore because it doesn't get you
anywhere-there's always another
car in front of you anyhow.
People used to have the idea that
only a millionaire could afford a
Florida vacation, but now sales
girls, mechanics, farmers, clerks
and just about anybody can enjoy
a Florida vacation, a real deluxe
vacation at that, on the most mod-
est budget.
Advertising is no longer slanted
to the wealthy-everybody is ap-
pealed to through the newspapers,
magazines and by direct mail. In-
dustrial concerns find that groups
of their employes will get together
and plan a vacation trip, and Flor-
ida is becoming more and more
popular 'both summer and winter.
All this is swell, but as I said in
the beginning, it sure is messing
up our playhouse and instead of
taking it easy all summer, if it
keeps up we will find ourselves so
busy all the year around we won't
have time to enjoy Florida our-
selves.

them. It is grown all over the world
and popular everywhere, for its

Men wear cornflowers.-in their
lapels more than any other flower,
and while most of -them" like iO
double cornflower blue, the dark
"~irooh variety is popular. There
are also a light blue, a lovely true
pink, a glowing red, and a white.
Seeds should be sown direct in the
garden; they germinate in eight
days, and flower in 8 -weeks. Many
stems grow from the base and
terminate in clusters of flowers. A
,strain of dwarf habit, growing only
a foot tall, has just been introduced,
including all colors.
Unless one has need for many
cut flowers, it can be grown for
border effect, and will easily spare
all the cut flowers that may be
taken. In fact, when the first crop
of blooms begins to fade, the
growth should be cut,bac,< heavily,
and new growth wiul develop to
bear a second, and a third crop of
blooms.
Centaurea cyanus has man>
cousins, there being 500 species
scattered around the world, with
only one native in America, a per-
ennial mountain flower. The corn-
flower is so hardy that it nearly
always self-seeds, and these seed-
lings have a tendency to reverL
to single flowers. The doubles are
so superior that new seed should
be started each year, and the vol.
unteers pulled up, in order to main
tain the quality of your display.

Three-Week Recess

Called In FEC Case

Battle Over Reorganization By St.
Joe Paper Co. and ACL To Be
Resumed August 8

A hearing being held in Wash-
ington by the interstate commerce
commission on proposals to reor-
ganize the Florida East Coast Rail-
way, on July 14 moved onto a sid-
ing for three weeks when a recess
until August 8 was ordered so that
the Atlantic Coast Line can com-
plete its plan to absorb the FEC.
The ACL has been competing
with the St. Joe Paper Company
for nearly 19 years to get the up-
per hand in the management of the
FEC, both owning large blocks of
FEC bonds.
The, paper company proposes to
exchange $25,000,000 of bonds for
an equal amount of common stock
in a reorganized company which
would be capitalized at $45,000,000.
Other reorganization plans have
been offered by different groups of
minority bond holders and an em-
ployes' combine.
ACL officials pointed out that a
saving of $1,557,647 could 'be saved
annually if their company absorbed
the FEC due to the fact that the
merger would result in the tele-
scoping of duties for a large num-
ber of workers which would elimi-
nate numbers of jobs.

Poultry Study
Poultrymen who gathered eggs
three or more times a day, kept
layers confined, and kept no males
in the laying flock had higher qual-
ity eggs than poultrymen who did
not follow these practices, accord-
ing to a recent study of poultry
farms in the Northeast.

GARDEN NOTES
PORT ST. JOE GARDEN CLUB

If you are interested in hibiscus,
do go by to see Mr. and Mrs. Buck
Alexander's fine collection of over
a hundred varieties. They are al-
Ways happy and proud to show off
their lovely hibiscus. They have a
single white, a dainty small pink
with fringed petals, a single yellow
and a gorgeous double peach-just
to mention a few. New and unusual
)looms are opening every day.
Here are a few tips on hibiscus
culturee from the Alexanders:
1. Before setting out hibiscus
plants, mix peat moss, sheep ma-
nure and bone meal well with the
soil. For continuous bloom, feed
plants heavily with a well-balanced
plaint food'such as hyponex. Every
two weeks durFing the first year
while tl" plants ars getting estab-
lished is not too often. Stop feed-
ing during winter months.
2. Trim off the tips of hibiscus
branches frequently to make plants
productive. By forcing new. growth
throughout the summer the shrubs
will produce more flowers.

3. Bank the plants with dirt for
winter protection. Be sure to cover
the plant above the graft if you
have grafted plants. Pinch off all
growth below the graft.
4. An easy way to root hibiscus
cuttings is to place the cuttings in
a mixture of peat moss and.sand.
Small orange juice cans with holes
punched in the bottom make ideal
containers. Hardwood cuttings are
preferred to soft tip cuttings. They
can be rooted successfully any sea-
son of the. year.
5. Any general garden spra y
may be used on hibiscus. A combi-
nation of black leaf 40 and chlor-
dane will control any insects which
attack them, but little spraying is
necessary.
6. The blooms can be kept in
the refrigerator. Place them in the
refrigerator as sopn as they open
and' remove when you are ready to
make your arrangement. 'they will
last a day from the time you take
them out.

Pfc. Lynwood Rhames

- Building Model Boats

Local Boy In Training at Texas Air
Force Base Follows Hobby
In His Spare Time

Airplanes and boats mix easily
for Pfc. Lynwood Rhames, a mem-
ber of the U. S. Air Force attending
the airplane and engine mechanic
school at Sheppard Air Force Base,
Texas.
Rhames, the son of Mr. and Mrs.
Lynwood Rhames of Highland View,
spends all his spare time from his
airplane mechanic studies in build-
ing model boats of all shapes and
sizes. From a large scale electric-
powered Chris-Craft speedboat to a
small clipper ship, his work shows
hours of patient, minute detailed
carving and painting.
This talented Sheppard airman
has been building boats all his life,
and his diligent efforts have been
rewarded many times by expert
comment on finished models. Numn-
ber one model for Rhames was a
tiny, crude fishing craft carved
from a block of wood with the use
of a knife "liberated" from his
mother's kitchen. He was then eight
years old.
His collection since arriving at
the Sheppard base has increased by
leaps and bounds, and now the
locker shelf above his bed is
adorned with five boats and a tiny
scale model of Henry Ford's 1903
automobile. All work is done to
scale, even to the tiny rigging on
the clipper ship. One specially built
speedboat is powered by a carbon
dioxide motor.
Rhames says that he has always
loved boats, and the main desire of
his life is to design and build a
large sailboat. Before he entered
the air force in September of last
year he was employed by the Raf-
field Fish Company at Highland
View.
Eleven children have graced the
Rhames household, all avid boat
admirers, but none quite so much
as Lynwood and his older brother,
who is making a career in the U. S.
Navy.
With plans for an air force ca-
reer before him, Pfc. Rhames will
continue his hobby of building
model boats, and proof of his mar-
velous talent will always be carved
in the memory of those who have
seen his work.

Registration of Contractors
Would Insure Better Schools

Registration of building contrac-
tors with the state has been sug-
gested to insure better school con-
struction. Stewart Morrison, state
department of education architect,
says that under the present setup
"any man with a pickup truck and
a hammer and saw can bid on new
schools and get the contract on a
low bid." He said such contractors
"may or may not be qualified, and
there's no way to tell until it's too
late."
Florida law requires school boards
to take the lowest "responsible"
bid. However, it's almost impos-
sible to define "responsible," says
Morrison.
Under state registration, contrac-
tors would have to meet certain
qualifications before they could op-
erate. Morrison believes this would
stop unqualified contractors from
bidding on school construction jobs..

Wade Barrier left Saturday for
Fort Jackson, S. C., to join his unit
of the Florida National Guard in
which he is a sergeant in the medi-
cal corps. Wade has been a mem-
ber of the guard for the past three
years while attending college.

The party took in the Trail Ridge

tinental divide and Central City in
Clear Creek Canon, famous for the
ballad "The Face On the Barroom

A Pledge to the American People

by

The Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Company

We will resist all unwarranted price rises with all our might.
We will make every effort to hold our inventories at the lowest poirt con-
sistent with good service to our customers, because hoarding, whether by whole-
salers, retailers or consumers, will cause higher prices.

We will continue to maintain the lowest profit rate generally prevailing in
the entire retail industry. Our net profit now is less than one cent on each dollar
of sales.

We will continue to strive for more efficient distribution.

We will fight waste of food, or time, or money all along the line so as to
narrow the spread between wholesale and retail prices.

We will devote all our energies to giving you the most good food for your
money every day of the week.

We will strive always to do what is honest, fair, sincere and in the best
interest of our country and our customers.

As most of you know, this company and the low cost, low profit policies
that built it are under attack.
We are defending ourselves against a suit brought by the anti-trust
lawyers to put A&P out of business.
But the greater conflict in which our country is now engaged takes prece
dence over all else.
Today, with our boys fighting in Korea, we believe that all citizens and
all businesses, big and little, should devote themselves wholeheartedly to
the public interest.
We promise the American people that we will cooperate unhesitatingly
with our national government in the present crisis.
We promise you that we will continue to do everything in our power to
put more buying power in your food dollar and more good food on your
dinner table.

To Meet Any Emergency

CONSIDER the pyramid above. The very founda-
tion of gasoline quality is the distillation-range of
the base stock. It is on this distillation range that
even, thorough vaporization depends. Also impor-
tant are-whether or not the gasoline contains sol-
vent additives (to minimize gum deposits), and
whether it is made in seasonal grades (to assure pro-
tection against vapor-lock in hot weather.)

Motorists should not make the mistake of think-
ing that "octane-rating" is the only gauge of gaso-

Association, Barke noted that there
was a decline in both the number
of new loans and the total amount
borrowed from banks by Florida
farmers last year. "This decline is
particularly healthy," he said, "in
view of the present uncertainties
and the slight drop in farm income.
It shows that farmers are wisely
avoiding excessive debt and are
holding on to theirreserves to meet
any possible emergency."
"With the pent-up demand for
equipment caused by World War II

The plant and equipment of Flor- apparently satisfied," he concluded,
ida farms has never been inr better "a larger and larger percentage of

condition, and the state's farmers
are prepared to meet any emergency
that may lie ahead, according to S.
L. Barke, president of the Florida
Bank here, who represents the Flor-
ida Bankers Association as a Gulf
county advisory banker.
"One of the best indications of
this is that Florida farmers bor-
rowed less from banks during 1949
than during 1948," said Barke.
