Prevue of Picture Coming To Port
Theater Reveals Heartwarming
Story of Small Community

At a prevue of "Stars In My
tCrown" held at the Port Theater
Wednesday morning by Manager S.
J. Brown, the society editor of The
Star found it to be a tenderly-un-
folded, heartwarming story of a
small southern settlement at the
,close of the Civil War and of a two-
fisted preacher who leads the way
in making his community a better
place in which to live. 0
Joel McCrea enacts the ex-cav-
alryman who comes- to the little
village, inspires the community to
build its first church, marries the
pretty organist, and becomes a sec-
ond father to their little ward.
The parson's steadfast courage
and honesty make themselves felt
on almost every member of the vil-
lage with the exceptionwof one man.
He is the town's richest man, who
tries to exert his own authority
over that of the law, but who in the
picture's stirring climax, is forced
to bow to the stronger will of the

school graduates were eligible for
instruction. Now it will be possible
for veterans who are high school
graduates to enroll in the new busi-
ness course."
Plans call for three distinct areas
of commercial instruction, accord-
ing to Magidson. These will be sec-
retarial science, accounting, and
general business. In the secretarial
,science area the curriculum will
consist of typewriting I and II, busi-
ness machines, business arithmetic,
business English. shorthand I and
II, accounting I, office procedures
and practices, and filing.
The accounting curriculum will
consist of accounting I, intermedi-
ate accounting, tax accounting, eco-
nolmics, business law, business or-
ganization and management, busi-
ness arithmetic, payroll accounting,
and cost accounting.
The general business course in-
cludes typewriting I, business ma-
chines, business arithmetic, busi-
ness English, accounting I, office
procedures and practices, business
law, economics, business organiza-
tion and management, retailing and
merchandising, consumer education,
advertising, economic geography,
and principles of insurance.
Registration for the courses will
be held from September 11 to 15,
with classes scheduled to start Oc-
tober 2. All tuition charges, book
costs and subsistence payments are
available to the veteran.
"The veteran need not be a resi-
dent of Gulf county to attend these
classes," said Magidson. "Tuition
charges for the non-veteran is 37c
per instruction hour. An individual
subject taking from 35 to 50 hours
to -complete thus making the cost
from $13 to approximately $15 per
subject.
"It will .be wise to note," con-
cluded Magidson, "that any veteran
who has not initiated his eligibility
entitlement before July, 1951, will
lose it entirely. In all probability
this will be the only opportunity for
advanced instruction under quali-
fied teachers in the field of busi-
ness that will be available in this
area."

"If such a question can be legally
included upon the official ballot,
then we may require for inclusion,
with equal legal propriety, the ques-
tion of whether we should now de-
clare war on Russia, or whether we
should continue fighting in Korea.
or whether the president or the gov-
ernor should annoif" .~ome desig-
nated person to public office, or
whether impeachment proceedings
should be instituted against some
state or federal officer.
"The Florida constitution unmis-
takably contemplates that county
tax funds shall be used for county
purposes and for no other purpose.
Hence to expend county tax
funds therefore would constitute an
unlawful expenditure from the pub-
lic tax funds of the several coun-
ties."
Secretary of State Boy Gray, who
prepares the election ballot, and
against whom the suit was brought,
said "I'm not inclined to appeal"
to the supreme court.
Propriety of the ballot question
was challenged by the Free Enter-
prise Foundation, an organization
headed by Richard Ervin, former
attorney general, who personally
favors U. S. participation in a lim-
ited World Federation.

Woods Fires Place

State in 'rd Spot

With Most of the Blazes During the
Past Year Being Caused
By Firebugs

Woods fires numbering over 6000
raged through Florida's protected
lands last year, causing the state
to be ranked third worse in the na-
tion. But the Florida Forest Ser-
vice can hardly be blamed-over
73% of such fires were intention-
ally set by firebugs.
These figures were -revealed with
the release of forest protection data
prepared by the American Forest
Products Industries, Inc., of Wash-
ington, D. C.
The report credits Mississippi
with the most fires on protected
lands with 8,627; Alabama next
with 8,480, and Florida third with
6,307. But 4,642 of Florida's fires
were of incendiary nature. The rest
were caused by lightning, camp-
ers, smokers, debris burners and
similar carelessnesses or mishaps.
It is doubtless a credit to the
state's forest service that the fires
in Florida 'burned but 217,300 acres,
an average of roughly 35 acres for
each of the 6,307 fires That's about
par with Mississippi, whose 8,627
fires burned 312,572 acres, an aver-
age of some 36 acres per fire.
But it's a long leap and a jump
over the record of Alabama, where

UNIVERSAL TRAINING IS NEED OF HOUR
Giving voice to what has long been uppermost
in the concern of all Americans, National Com-
mander George N. Craig of the American Le-
gion has demanded that congress adopt immedi-
ately a program of universal military training.
The appeal is more than timely. The Korean
crisis alone makes it imperatively .urgent.
As Commander Craig told a special meeting
of Legion commanders in Indianapoils, it is pre-
cisely in Korea that American boys are "paying
the fearful price of inadequate training." And
korea is only the first scene of an unfolding
-world-wide drama.
Caught napping and flat-footed, outnumbered
and outgunned, our forces are undergoing the
-travail so heart-breakingly familiar and unneces-
Lsary to American arms ever since Bull Run.
iThe reason, obviously, is unpreparedness. The
'cost, as always, is appalling. It is futile now to
recall that had President Truman, the state de-
parment and the congress been alert and shown
-proper respect for the frequent admonitions of
General MacArthur, the Korean Communist drive

Year after year, as the waters of the bay wash
away the highway at Palm Point, the state road
department patiently rebuilds it, spending large
amounts for seawalls and new paving. The storm
of last week created more damage than any pre-
vious storm in the past 13 years. It seems logical
to us that, instead of continually pouring out the
taxpayers' hard-earned cash to repair this stretch
of highway that it could be rebuilt a bit further
inland from the bay-say a hundred feet-from
the curve just beyond Highland View to a point
a mile or so up the beach where the grass-cov-
ered dunes protect the present roadbed.

Car owners are reminded to drive carefully
through the streets, particularly on. Long Ave-

STARDUST and

MOONSHINE


Man, oh, man, but those shingles
sure messed up the paper last is-
sue! We had Franklin Chand-
ler running for city commission
against I. C. Nedley and Sol Shirey
with no opposition. Can't figure out
how it happened, since our notes
.read "Shirey and Chandler, Group
4; Nedley, Group 3." Anyway, ap-
proximately 297 people had called
it to our attention by noon of Sat-
urday. And on top of that we
had the entire paper dated "Friday,
September 2." .Those shingles
sure act strangely.

However, despite the shingles, we
have worked a couple of days on
putting up wallpaper in our domi-
cile on the Dead Lakes. Our
capacity was mainly in spreading
the paste and supervising, with our
wife doing the work. ... In a case
like this, those shingles sure come
in handy. Anyway, looks like
we're going to make a first class
paper hanger of the frau-if we
can bang onto our shingles a bit
longer.

The Star isn't the only paper
that pulls boners. ... Bet Clayton
Mapoles of the Milton Gazette got
a lot of ragging last week for, un-
der the heading "Storm Briefs" he
had this to say: "Disastrous Chair-
man Mel Hagler reports that more
than 500 refugees were sheltered
and fed at the Bagdad grammar
and Milton high school." It would
seem that Hagler might be a men-
ace to the community rather than
a Good Samaritan. And on top
of that, he had a two-column news
picture upside down on the front
page. Could be Clayton has the
shingles, too.

A news item says that about 85,-
000 tanks were produced in this
country during World War II, and
that army records at the end of the
war indicated that 25,000 of them
should be on hand. But the army
could account for only 16,000-the
other 9000 had disappeared. .
The top brass probably passed off
the matter by using the old army
game of passing the buck, and the,
blame for the 9000 missing tanks
probably eventually will be hung
on some poor buck private in the
rear rank.

Wallace Finlay's County Record
at Blountstown comes out about
every other week with a 96-point
"screamer" across the front page
on some of the most trivial mat-
ters. Reason is that Wallace
is short of copy. ... It takes some-
thing really out of the ordinary to
rate more than a two-coluimn head
in The Star, and at times we leave
out advertising to get in all the
news-and at other times leave out
some of the news to get in adver-
tising.

E. P. Lapeyrouse, who takp, a
morbid delight in ribbing the editor
when he finds an error in The Star,
informs us that if we don't quit
making so many mistakes he's go-
ing to stop his paper and place us
in the same category as Carl Gray,
Panama City radio commentator,
"which is, m-i-g-h-t-y low," he says.
Well, if he does that, we'll get
even with him by spelling his name
"Lapeylouse" every time it shows
up in The Star.

Well, we've got at least one wise
young man in our fair city. Har-
vey Solomon, after reading our ad
to "Get Your Christmas Cards Now
and Avoid the Last-Minute Rush,"
came into the shop and placed his
order.

The painters Van Gogh, Blake,
Cezanne, El Greco. Mcnticelli, Ma-
gnoni, Carlo Dolci, Manning and

WOODS FIRES

(Continued from page 1)
8,480 fires raced through 435,733
acres and burned an average of
over 51 acres per fire.
The 4,642 incendiary fires in Flor-
ida during 1949 were topped in
number only by Mississippi, a state
with 5,113 of incendiary origin. Per-
centage-wise, however, about 73%
of Florida fires were of incendiary
origin, while only 60% of those in
Mississippi were of that nature.
The report concludes that "care-
lessness and willful people con-
tinued to cause nine out of ten for-
est fires in the United States dur-
ing 1949, according to U. S. Forest
Service statistics for the nation's
569,169,000 acres of protected wood-
land. Of 88,233 fires reported, 26,-
726 were attributed to incendiar-
ists, 17,442 to careless smokers,
and 16,465 to debris burners."

Electrocution of condemned mur-
derers is legal in 24 states.

THE MAIN SHOW NEEDS NO BALLYHOO...


CONSIDER the difference between the circus and
the side show. The big show packs them in on the
performance it offers, not needing the:glib-tongued
barker nor the exaggerated banners the side show
uses to lure crowds inside.

The same is true of gasolines. Crown and Crown
Extra are the South's most popular motor fuels be-
cause of the better performances they deliver, not
because of exaggerated claims made for them.

Your Standard Oil dealer doesn't tell you his gas-
olines will make your car perform like a jet-pro-
pelled plane! He knows that while Crown and
Grown Extra are the most powerful gasolines ever


sold at the Standard Oil sign and have recently been
made more powerful through the addition of more
high octane, anti-knock qua1ties, they will not per-
form the impossible.

The claim made for Crown and Crown Extra is
that they are better tdan most gasolines, and sur-
passed by none, for all-round performance. Try a
tankful! You'It find, as hundreds of thousands of
other Southern motorists have, that Crown and
Crown Extra give you full value for your money
in performance, mileage, and trouble-free transpor-
tation,
