PORT ST. JOE A Progr ssive Community With a Modern, Progressive Weekly Newspaper THE STAR THE STAR Is Devoted To the Con.. tinued Development of Port St. Joe and Gulf County - "Port St. Joe The Outlet Port for the Apalachicola-Chattahoochee Valley" NUMBER " Public Is Warned To Keep Eyes Open for Oyster Bootleggers Should Check Container for Packer's Name and Cer- tificate Number With oysters back in season the past two "R" months, the public is warned to beware of the "oyster bootlegger." A caution that bootlegged oysters may be offered for sale by dealers who may be a little careless in checking the -source of their sup- plies has been sounded by the Flor- ida State Board of Health. Buyers may be reasonably sure that certified oysters are free from contamination, says the board, bu! uncertified oysters are potentially dangerous and in many instances they ate being "bootlegged" in vio- lation of existing federal and state laws designed to protect the con- sumer. Oyster plants which abide by reg- ulations in handling this seafood item are awarded certificates signi- fying clean handling of oysters. taken from approved, pollution-free beds. Other states shipping oysters into, Florida maintain similar in- spection and certification programs In' commenting on the warning of the state board, F. E. Trammell, sanitarian with the Gulf County Health Department, said: "When housewives buy oysters rthL- should look on the container and make sure that the name, address and certificate number of the oyster house are on each package-whe- ther frozen or in a metal or paper carton. Oysters in the shell should also be identified with the name, address and certificate number of the producer. "The state board of health main- tains a year-round inspection ser- vice on the waters in Franklin and Gulf counties, where most of our . oysters in this section come from, and in the plants where they are handled, as a safeguard against -transmissi.on of disease by oysters. "Uncertified oysters may come from polluted, beds, which cannot be certified," concluded Trammell. ""As a protection to the family, St. Joe housewives can assure them- selves of good quality oysters by insisting, that the dealer identify them as having been under the state's inspection program." Children Asked Not To Play Around Health Unit F. E. Trammell, sanitarian with the Gulf County Health Depart- t meant, is' asking mothers who have children playing around the health office grounds to prevent them do- ing so, since they are causing dam- age and endangering themselves. "I ask this due to the fact that sanitary devices being constructed /7 on the grounds' have been destroyed p-by them," said Trammell. "Also, de- vices stored there may be a safety %azard to children playing around them." .Returns To Hospital After Visit R. V. Coburn returned -Wednes- day to the hospital in Marianna af- ter a few days' visit here with his wife. -4- Return From Vacation Mr. and Mrs. L. L. Tappan re- turned Saturday from a week's va- cation spent iin DeFuniak Springs. "FAITH IN THINGS SPIRITUALL" This Ls National Bible Week and participating in the event all over the nation are persons of all faiths and creeds. It is designed to appeal to people of eve'-y age and in all walks of life-the housewife, the factory worker, the farmer, the busi- nessman, the professional' worker. We live in a world which seems to have become almost utterly materialistic-a world in which the black shadow of war is seen once more. Yet in such a world, matters of the spirit remain all-important. General Bradley,' the chief mili- tary officer of the nation, has written: "Our enemy has faith in things material. I do not hesitate to say, as a soldier, that we must have faith in things spiritual. That faith diminishes physical hardships and enhances physical valor. It can-and, I am sure, will-shorten our trial and speed our triumph." The lessons of the Bible are eternal. They can serve us all in these difficult days.

JOE GARDEN CLUB Have you registered for the bet- ter yards contest? Don't fail to do so. Landscaping is one of the points to be considered in judging yards. All too often people plant shrubs or trees without working out a plan beforehand and so end up with a "polka dot plan" of dotting shrubs and plants hithe- and yon on the lawn. For small yards an uninterrupted stretch of lawn is usually best, with the planting confined to the foun- dation planting and shrubbery bor- ders. In general, flower beds should be placed in a separate section of the yard away from the front lawn. A pretty expanse of green lawn makes the most effective setting for the house. A lovely dogwood or a gorgeous camellia placed at a point of interest in the border gains in beauty from its background and is more impressive than in the cen- ter of the lawn. For foundation planting, use small and slow-growing shrubs. Keep the .shrubs pruned down from in front of the windows, with a taller ac- cent plant at the corners of the house. Overgrown shrubbery in front of the house is never attrac- tive. Usually it is better to stick to a small number of kinds of well- chosen shrubs, rather than to try to grow one of everything in your yard. Several flowering shrubs of one kind and color grouped to- gether make a better show than a mixture of kinds and colors.

Our Country '"~ Right or Wrong JUVENILE COURT POWER NEED BE TOLD Concerted effort should be made by lawyers, social workers, church leaders and others deal- ing with young people in behalf of the proposed constitutional amendment authorizing the estab- lishment of juvenile courts in Florida. With the November election less than a month away, voters should be informed on the value of such an amendment and the necessity for its passage for the proper handling of juvenile de- linquency. Yes, we have juvenile courts now, but under the present constitution we cannot give these courts exclusive jurisdiction over youth offend- ers. The legislature now has not the power to set up such courts. Only an amendment can give it that authority. Roger J. Waybright, chairman of the Florida bar's committee on juvenile delinquency, said in an article in the Florida Law Journal that jus- tices of the peace receive fees for binding chil- dren over to criminal courts for trial, but do not get them for binding them over to juvenile courts. This is an angle which should be investi- gated and overcome. Waybright said that no opposition had de- veloped to the amendment, but that it should be passed by such an overwhelming vote that the 1951 legislature would be induced to make it ef- fective by enactment of proper statutes. He said 85 to 90 per cent of the youthful de- linquents could be saved if they were handled through juvenile courts with adequate author- ity, instead of being sent, in many instances, to jails and prisons with hardened criminals. Certainly this movement deserves the full sup- port of every citizen. Those who come in contact with the problem every day should help to in- form the general public as to the wisdom of ap- proving the amendment.-F ..... Journal.

Dear Editor Bill Please start sending me The Star to Chicago. Since the rate for three months is so high, you had better make my subscription for six months. Make this a new subscription and keep sending one to Elba so that Katherine can keep up with the St. Joe news, as she is going to school in Troy while I am going to school up here, and naturally both of us want to keep up with the St. Joe news and of all of what is happen- ing to our many friends in St. Joe. I hope you are not catching all the fish down there, as when I get out of school one of the first things I am going to do is come back down there and spend about a week just fishing and lying around somewhere on the river.

The new concern is the Kenney & Byrd Com- pany, which is located near Over- street. Grady Manasco, who has been employed by the St. Joe Lumber & Export Company for the past 12 years and is now employed by the new lumber mill, states that Ken- ney & Byrd are now placing ma- chinery for a powerhouse, planer mill and dry kilns and when they begin operations will turn out all types of lumber from long leaf yel- low pine and tidewater red cypress. All stages of processing will be supervised by mnen who have had years of experience in the lumber business.

He would re- place these fees with a direct ap- propriation from a county's general fund to pay sheriffs, their deputies and to maintain modern bureaus of criminal investigation. The fee system, which the editor of The Star for years has been urg- ing be done away with, has been a controversial issue in Florida for a long time. Placing sheriffs and deputies on guaranteed salaries would increase efficiency and make it possible to elect the best avail- able men to office. Tucker states that he has experi- enced trouble operating his office under the fee system, citing an ex- ample where a deputy might make six trips to serve a court paper, but is paid mileage only on the sixth trip. Under the fee system, sheriffs' offices are operated by fees col- lected from arr-st's and service of court papers. Counties usually have limits on the amount of salaries to be paid from these fees. The idea of direct appropriations is not new, as several states long ago abolished the fee system. TOM COLDEWEY HONORED .

On October 3 Governor Fuller Warren dedicated a $200,000 me- morial center at White Springs hon- oring Stephen Foster and his work. The memorial building holds many of the composer's original manu- scripts and personal possessions. Governor Warren gave tribute to America's greatest composer and expressed 'the wish that all would pay homage to this truly great man. Foster contributed a great deal to the world of music and, by writ- ing a sQng of simple beauty, he also brought world renown to an other- wise obscure river. White Springs, situated on the banks of the river, and the area surrounding this com- munity are now progressing into one of the state's outstanding tour- ist attractions. Although many people believe the story about Foster's never visiting Florida, this has been proven er- roneous. He visited the state in 1850 and, while spending some time near Ellaville, he was inspired to write his .immortal ballad. The Suwannee River remains as it 'did back when Foster first saw it, and he was inspired by the in- teresting and varied characteristics of the stream. After emerging from the swamp, it cuts through a roll- ing area \f limestone hills where it flows between high bluffs and thru lands given over to large planta- tions. This is the part of the river Stephen Foster knew and immor- talized in his melodic essay. In Jax On Business C. L.
