Saints Take Seahawks Wed-
nesday; Apalachicola
Goes To Finals

Tom Owens, president of the Gulf
Coast League, informed The Star
Wednesday morning that the pro-
test entered by Port St. Joe in the
game played here Sunday with the
Panama City Seahawks had been
upheld and that the game would be
replayed here tonight.
The protest was entered by the
Saints due to the fact that Alex
Pitts, moundsman for Panama, had
not been qualified with league of-
ficials and was, therefore, ineligible
to play.
Wednesday night St. Joe downed
the Seahawks at Panama City by a
score of 11-1, and at the same time
Apalachicola took Blountstown 6-3
at the Oyster City. This puts Ap-
alachicola in the final five-game
playoff for the championship, as
they took the Bucs 4-3 in the first
game of the three-game series at
Blountstown Sunday.
A win tonight for St. Joe means
they will meet Apalachicola in the
final round, with the first game to
be played here Sunday. Should the
Seahwaks win tonight, it will be
necessary to play a third game,
which would be played Sunday, the
toss of a coin to decide the site,
and in that case the best three-out-
of-five series will open next Wed-
nesday.
Sunday's .Game
In the opening game of the play-
off series here Sunday the Panama
City Seahawks bested the Saints 3-2
behind the hurling of Alex Pitts, a
high school pitcher, who limited the
St. Joe stickmen to five hits.
The Saints held a 2-0 advantage
for the first six innings but in the
seventh two singles and a sacrifice
put Panama City men on second
and third. The runner on third was
caught at the plate on a grounder
to price by the fourth man at bat,
making two out. Manager Al Sabo
kited one to left field to drive in
two runs and tie the score.
When Gresham dropped a hot one
at short Sabo went to third and
came home when Calhoun made an
erratic throw to second, to catch
Fleming on a steal.
Scores for the Saints were made
in the first when Cowart drew a

Some Sportsmen Prefer
Closed Hunting Days

Members of the state game and
fresh water fish commission will
meet in Tallahassee Monday to con-
sider the adoption of rules and reg-
ulations concerning migratory birds.
It is believed numerous groups
of sportsmen will appear at this
meeting in an effort to have the
commission change several portions
of the hunting rules and regulations
previously adopted July 6.
It is understood some sportsmen
prefer several closed days through-
out each hunting week rather than
a "straight-through" season as was
adopted during the July meeting.

County Farmer

As stated in The Star a couple of
weeks ago, the St. Joe Paper Com-
pany is assisting the farmers of
Gulf county in carrying out the soil
conservation and reforestation pro-
gram by offering up to 2000 free
slash pine seedlings to each farmer
in the county for the next plant-
ing season in December and Janu-
ary.
The trees will be distributed by
County Agent Cubie Laird, who will
have to have all requests for the
seedlings in his hands as soon as
possible, and not later than Octo-
ber 16, in order to know how many
trees can be allotted to each indi-
vidual.
Laird said the farmers will be
"greatly aided" by obtaining these
free seedlings, and especially those
who have an abundance of land to
devote to planted forests. "Substan-
tial acreage in Gulf county is suit-
able for reforestation," he said. "In
fact, some land is best suited for
the growth of pines and nothing
else. There is considerable acreage
in the county that can be made pro-
ductive as well as beautified by the
growth of pines."
By planting these seedlings, in 12
or 15 years the land will be paying
a good return by cutting out some
trees for pulpwood and leaving the
remaining ones for further growth.

Bill Will Bring Funds
for Improvement of
Fresh Water Fishing

Long eagerly awaited by many
Florida sportsmen, the news that
the Dingell federal aid to state
fisheries bill, H. R. 6533, had been.
signed into law by President Tru-
man was received from Washing-
ton several days ago.
The new law, for which the na-
tion's sportsmen have long fought,
is expected to bring in excess of
$50,000 annually to Florida for in-
vestigation and improvement of
fresh water fishing conditions in
the state, with emphasis on im-
proved sport fishing.
The Dingell bill provides that the
10% federal excise tax on sport
fishing tackle will be earmarked as
funds to be returned to the states.
These funds will be returned on a
75c to 25c basis whereby Florida
would put up $25,000 to match each
$75,000 received from federal funds.


Eells' Firestone Store
Now In New Location

B. W. Eeels has moved his Fire-
stone Home & Auto Supply Store
from its previous location in the
Costin building at the corner of
Reid Avenue and Second Street to
the new building recently erected
by George Cooper adjoining Le-
Hardy's Bar.
We had intended giving B. W.
this notice last week, but forgot it.
However, he was still straightening
out his. large stock at the time, so
probably was better off without too
many customers.

Thieves Take Safe From
Office of Dr. A. L. Ward

Dr. A. L. Ward was considerably
startled Thursday morning of last
week to find that thieves had en-
tered his building at the corner of
Williams Avenue and Fourth Street
some time Wednesday night and,
made off with his 500-pound safe
which contained valuable papers
and a considerable sum of money.
The safe was found Sunday by
Marvin Wise of Callaway in a dump-
ing ground 10 miles out of Panama
City on the Panama-Wewahitchka
highway. The thieves had ham-
mered off the door and removed
the cash from it. The papers in the
strongbox were undisturbed and a
watch belonging to Ward's father,
which was in the safe, was found
lying nearby on the ground.
No fingerprints were found on
the\safe, indicating the thieves had
worn gloves. Tire tracks, identical
with those found in front of Ward's
office, were found at the site where
the battered safe was discovered..
Investigation of the affair is go-
ing on by Sheriff Byrd Parker of
Gulf county and Sheriff Thomas of
Bay county.
Amount of money in the safe has
not been stated by Dr. Ward, who
said some insurance on its content
was carried.

Last One To Directly Strike
Was During Days of Old
St. Joseph In 1845

No city in Florida is "hurricane
proof," but, on the basis of all past
records, residents of Port St. Joe
can feel pretty confident that no
storm of hurricane force (75 miles
per hour or over) will strike here.
It is true that when Old Man Hur-
ricane invades our area of the Gulf
of Mexico that we get fairly strong
winds and deluges of rain, but this
comes from the edge of the storm.
As far as we can discover the only
major blow that hit directly in this
section was in 1845-105 years ago
-when the remains of the ancient
city of St. Joseph were razed by
a big storm and the resultant high
tides it created.
The big winds, when they do head
up this way, veer off in another di-
rection, leaving St. Joe "boarded
up" but unharmed, outside of a few
awnings demolished or a few square
yards of roofing torn off.
According to a "hurricane chart"
issued by Ray and Davidson, oper-
ators of Silver Springs, the chances
of hurricane force winds visiting
this section of the state-which is
in the Apalachicola St. Marks area
-is 1 in 15. But what the makers
of the hurricane chart didn't place
on it was the fact that apparently
the odds of a major blow striking
Port St. Joe are about 500 to 1.
The editor of The Star has been
in Port St. Joe for almost 14 years
and has yet to see a so-called hur-
ricane, although they have hit all
around us.
Strongest blow in that period was
on Auo'n.ct19 1 whe n accnnrd-


ing to an account in The Star, "a
few trees were blown down, numer-
ous shingles were ripped from sev-
eral garages and dwellings and
both ends of the warehouse of the
Port St. Joe Terminal Company
fell outward due to pressure within
as the center of the storm passed.
"Telegraph and telephone lines
were put out of commission and
electric service was interrupted for
about three hours. Several work-
men's houses at Kenney's Mill were
blown from their foundations, but
no one was injured. Business con-
cerns closed their doors at night-
fall, but a few catered to an occa-
sional customer braving the storm
by using candles for illumination.
"The pogie boat Novia of the St.
Joe Menhaden Corporation with a
crew of 30 aboard was beached by
Capt. B. Harrison Saturday evening
in Eagle Harbor on the peninsula

Gulf County Unemployed
Receive $750 During July

Unemployment compensation put
some $750 into Gulf county busi-
ness channels during July, accord-
ing to the state employment service.
Payments ranging from $5 to $15
per person fluctuated during the
month from 14 claimants the last
week to none during the third week.
Claimants averaged 8 per week.
During 1949 nearly $33,400 was
paid to Gulf county workers in un-
employment compensation. County
employers contributed almost $10,-
000 to the unemployment comnen-
sation fund, with the result that ap-
proximately $23,400 more was ',r'ent
in the county in the form of insur-
ance payments than was paid in the


visitors in Panama City Tuesday. form of insurance premiums.

GARDEN NOTES
PORT ST. JOE GARDEN CLUB

Anyone interested in getting pic-
tures of the flower show-and the
pictures are very clear and good-
see Mrs. I. C. Nedley. She will take
your order.
Gardening in August is largely a
matter of maintenance. Keeping the
grass cut is the biggest job-and
how the grass grows with the fre-
quent showers! August is not a
month for fertilizing or planting;
however, the spider lily may be set
out this month, anud don't forget
that glad bulbs may be set out any
time until the middle of September
for blooms before frost.
If crepe myrtles are cut back in
August they will often put on a
fresh burst of bloom.
Coleus plants will remain thrifty
over a longer period of time if
flower spikes are prevented from
forming. At the first signs of bud-
ding, pinch out the potential spike.
Chrysanthemums are heavy feed-
ers, so they should be given occa-
sional applications of liquid manure
until the flower buds appear, then
fertilize once a week until the buds
show color. Stop fertilizing at this
time.
If dahlias are cut back to about
half their growth after the first
crop of blooms, they will then pro-
duce a fine crop of fall blooms.
AZALEA CIRCLE MEETS AT
HOME OF MRS. BRODNAX
The Azalea Circle of the Port St.

cussed, after which the meeting
was turned over to Mrs. George
Wimberly, program chairman, who
gave a most interesting talk on cul-
ture of the gerbe ra, a plant from
Africa which is well suited to the
warm climate of this section.
At the conclusion of the meeting,
the hostess, assisted by Mrs. Gor-
don Thomas, served refreshments
of cake and punch to Mesdames J.
C. Arbogast, Don Birath, Otto An-
derson, B. W. Eells, Paul Blount,
G. F. Lawrence, Buck Griffin, Otis
Pyle, George Wimberly and Gordon
Thomas.
The door prize, a pair of garden-

Our Country Right or Wrong

IT'S ALWAYS UP TO THE DOUGHBOY
The fracas in Korea has demonstrated a fact
that many of us, including highly-placed mili-
tary men, had tended to forget-that there can be
two kinds of war.
Up to the time that North Korea sent her
troops pouring across the 38th parallel, we had
been thinking of a war of amazing machines
which would wreak death and destruction on a
huge scale and at vast distances. A button would
be pushed, and an atom bomb or a guided mis-
sile would be on its way toward the target. It
would be a war of science and technology. In
fact, some thought it might be a war in which a
decision would be reached without any ground
action at all, and without opposing troops com-
ing face to face.
How wrong everyone has been! The man with


the gun in hand is doing the fighting. We were
a doughboy in World War I, and many is the
weary mile we slogged through the everlasting
mud, many the night we stood guard in ice cold
water up over our shoe tops, many the meal we
missed. The same thing is happening to-
day with our boys in Korea. The importance of
the individual soldier is supreme-if one man
fails, disaster to many may follow.
Yep, it's still the doughboy and the GI Joe
who bears the brunt of the battle, no matter how
many high-falutin' gimcracks the experts have
dreamed up to knock off their fellow men.

FIGHTING THE HOARDER
A short time ago, in the little town of Oswego,
Oregon, the members of a church passed a reso-
lution which said, in part: "RESOLVED: That we
. protest in every possible manner all profi-
teering, scare-buying and hoarding.
"That we renounce all individual gains which
must be had at the expense of general -security.
"That we pledge ourselves neither by word or
deed to contribute to fear or hatred, being aware
that the present emergency challenges our moral
as well as physical courage. .
"That we urge all like-minded citizens to join
us in this resolution."
We would like to see churches and civic or-
ganizations of Port St. Joe pass similar resolu-
tions.- in fact it would be a great thing for this
country if, at this critical moment, resolutions of
this character were to have national circulation
and adherence. There can be no excuse for the
hoarder, and he deserves only contempt. He un-
dermines his country. He brings on scarcity for
every honest and patriotic person.
The highest officials have said that there is
plenty of goods for all, and that rationing and
kindred controls are not needed.


TEN YEARS AGO

Moose Home Takes

Care of Children

Mother of Four Pays Tribute To
Organization for Help
Rendered

G. F. Lawrence of the Port St.
Joe Moose Lodge asks us to print
the following letter from the mother
of four children educated and cared
for at Mooseheart, children's home
of the order. The letter speaks for
itself:
"To the Loyal Order of Moose
The World Over: We, the Maxwell
family, wish to give thanks to
each and every member of this
wonderful organization, all over
the world, and our own Lodge 588
at Montpelier, Idaho.
"For the past 15 years we have
resided at Mooseheart. We also
want to thank the Women of the
Moose-wherever they are located
in the different states of our Union--
for your kindness and love in the
sending of gifts and cards and other
remembrances since our coming
to the 'Child City' on August 20,
1935.
"From its halls, church and
schools and through its gates, three
of us children and our Mom have
entered and gone. And now .
on the 24th day of June, the baby
of our family will be leaving the
'Child City' of Mooseheart. It is
practically the only home she has
known. She entered its gates and
into the protection of the Moose
when just 22 years old. Now at
the age of 1712 years, she will gradu-
ate from its sheltering doors.
"We appreciate all the wonderful
things which have been our privi-
lege, as citizens of Mooseheart, to
enjoy. The campus from kindergar-
ten to high school, its warm, lazy
days of boating,, swimming and
fishing in the summer; the golden
days of the harvest in the fall,
and the dazzling whiteness of new-
fallen snow of the winter.
"The 'baseball games, football
and basketball, the band excur-
sions, the moving pictures, and our
dances. The thoughtfulness of our
teachers, the kindness and guid-
ance of our house mothers and
cooks, the tender care of the
nurses when we were ill in the
hospital, the knowledge of know-
ing our doctor was right on hand,
with his kind words which assured
us that everything was all right.
The teaching from our clergyman,
Rev. Payne, and the love from
Father Laffey, who helped guide
our feet along the uncertain years.
The helping hand from our super-
intendents,- who were never too
busy to listen to our problems and
companionship of all the girls and
boys that we grew up with .
forming close associations. Yes,
indeed, we were all brothers and
sisters.
"To each of these, who helped
us in our life at Mooseheart, we
pay tribute, and say 'thank you' for
all that you have done to help us
grow from youngsters to young
men and women. You will always
live in our memory, and our days
there will always be a happy re-
membrance.
"We, as a Mooseheart family,
consider it a very fortunate day
when our father, George R. Max-
well, signed his name to the appli-
cation form which made him a
member of the Loyal Order of
Moose in April 1924, just 26 years
ago. We are certain that nowhere
else can one obtain snch wonder-
ful family protection as member-
ship in the Loyal Order of Moose
provides, and we feel quite quali-
fied to speak!
"As graduates of Mooseheart we
sincerely thank you fcr your loyal
support, thoughtfulness and kind-
nesses, not only to us but to all
the other mothers and children
who have and do now, reside un-
der your protecting care.
"God bless each and every one
of you, far and wide, wherever you
make your home.
"Sincerely and respectfully yours,
Clifford Dean Maxwell
Cyril Don Maxwell
Muriel LaRue Maxwell
Joan Adair Maxwell
and their "Mom" Bessie Maxwell
Tarwater, of Montpelier, Idaho."

Sawlogi Brought In
Although 49 percent of all lunm-
ber produced in Florida during 1948
was produced in the northwest sec-
tion of the state, 15 percent of the
sawlogs consumed in meeting this
production were hauled from other
sections and from out of state.

have occurred in the outer edge of
the hurricane circulation and not
near the "eye." Most of these have
been narrow in width and have had
rather short paths, but have been
very destructive in the areas cov-
ered.
It has been proved that it is pos-
sible to protect life and property
from hurricanes, and it is especi-
ally true that all who avail them-
selves of sound shelter have little
to fear. Practically all deaths from
hurricanes have been the result of
failure to stay in shelter or heed
warnings.
A hurricane can be detected in
advance by careful observers. But
this is possible only when they are
trained to recognize the signs and
are able to determine when wea-
ther conditions are normal.
The most reliable way to keep in-
formed about the possible arrival
of a hurricane is through hurricane
warnings and advices issued by the
U. S. Weather Bureau.

panies have 425 professional forest-
ers on their payrolls.
