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.

"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.

who cannot help themselves."

Commends Community

Patrons and friends of the city's'
schools jammed the auditorium of
the new high school last night to
hear State School Superintendent
Thomas D. Bailey deliver a dedica-
tory address and tell of the aims of
the state board of education.
Bailey, who was introduced by
Superintendent Tom Owens, com-
mended the people of Port St. Joe
for their progressiveness in build-
ing the fine new school plant which
should take care of the needs of
this section for a number of years
to come.
A feature of the dedication pro-
gram, which was sponsored by the
Parent-Teacher Association, was a
joint concert by the high scflool
band and glee club under the direc-
tion of Charles Conter, director of
music at the high school.
The band scored a real hit with
the "Ponce de Leon Overture," and
their selection of marches was pre-
sented with the finish of a trained
musical organization.
The glee club, accompanied by
Miss Jane Kwells at the piano, sang
"My Hero," "Let There Be Music"
and "The Desert Song.". Incident-
ally, this is the first time in eight
years that the high school has had
a glee club, and Mr. Center is to be
congratulated on the results he has
obtained with the group.
During the course of the evening
hundreds of visitors were shown
over the new building, which is one
of the finest in Northwest Florida.

GARDEN NOTES
PORT ST. 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.

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.

Under the farm support programs, Uncle has
to keep on buying products that are already run-
ning out of his ears. It costs the government bil-
lions to buy the stuff that nobody wants-at the
prices being charged. Uncle buys it to keep the
prices up so he and everybody has to pay more.
How crazy can we get?-Cypress (Cal.) Enter-
prise.

We have discovered in building our mansion
up on the Dead Lakes that no matter how much
money you think you will need at the start-
more is usually required before you finish, re-
gardless of what it is you attempt.

New Lumber Mill To
Open At Overstreet
Kenney & Byrd Operation Will Add
Payroll of Approximately $10,-
000 Monthly To County
A new whistle will be heard about
December 15 in Gulf county, and its
blast will add about $10,000 monthly
to the county's payroll. 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.
Colonial newspapers were the
mainstay of the movement for in-
dependence.

PAHULHPYL


Would Abolish Fee
System for Sheriffs

State Association Head In Favor of
Replacing Revenue With Di-
rect Appropriation

Todd Tucker, sheriff qf Pinellas
county and president of the Florida
Sheriffs Association, is advocating
abolishment of the fee system as a
source of revenue. 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.

melancholy beauty of the Suwannee
River anrl its environs come to life
and a bit of Florida, too, is em-
bodied in this classic piece of mu-
sic.
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.
