JOE, FLORIDA FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 1950 NUMBER 6 Local Merchants Expecting Good Yule Business Credit Restrictions Will Ac- celerate Sales of Small Gift Items According to local business men, Santa Claus is bound for Port St. Joe this year with perhaps the big- gest pack of gifts of every descrip- tion that he has ever swung over his back. Yuletide is seven weeks away, but local merchants already are lay- ing out their Christmas wares and preparing to tack up tinsel and holly boughs for the rush that is expected to start within the next ten days. Gift displays are pouring in, and the variety of toys for the kiddies is amazing, again coming from such faraway places as Hamburg ,and Tokyo, as well as from American factories. "It looks like one of the best-if not the.best-Christmases Port St. Joe ever had for the kids, for the parents and for the merchants," said B. W. Eells, who has his Fire- stone Store loaded with gifts. All this optimism is due to the fact that people generally have more money to spend despite higher taxes and higher living costs. But a larger down payment is now required- for most of the (Continued on page 7) Tax Course Offered At Vets' Institute Open To All Veterans and Non- Veterans Having High School Or Equivalent Education Mel Magidson, director of the 'Gulf County Veterans Institute, an- nounced yesterday that a complete course in federal income tax will begin November 20, with the class meeting every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 8 p. m.

That was the message of Leland W. Hiatt of Chattahoochee. governor of.

SMITH, Editor PHONE 51 Lay Speaker Will Outline Episcopal Church Program All members of St. James' Epis- copal Church will gather next Thursday evening, November 9, at 8 o'clock to hear a layman describe the church's work in this country and overseas. The layman is Lamar Munroe, hardwareman and promi- nent churchman of Quincy. "This is part of a national move- ment of Episcopalian laymen to ac- quaint the people of the church with the church's program," said- Rev. Lee Graham, pastor, "and its mess- age of Jesus Christ which is being taken to all people. "Last year more than 1100 lay- men began the huge educational campaign by speaking to vestries and parish councils. This year these laymen are taking their message to the people in the pews. It is a vast campaign of laymen, by laymen, for laymen and in the name of Christ and His Church." To make his presentation vivid, Mr. Munroe will use full color slides of some phases of the church's mis- sionary work, and his listeners will hear the transcribed voices of mis- sionary bishops actually in the field. "We are now exporting to the orient men and arms on missions of death,"' said Rev. Graham. "Christ calls us to export also men armed with Bibles and the gospel of peace. Billions for defense will stop the aggressor after he shoots; millions for Jesus Christ will stop 'the ag- gressor before he shoots." Coffee will be" served in the par- ish house before Munroe's address. BAPTIST W. M. U. MEETS FOR STEWARDSHIP PROGRAM The Baptist W. M.'

Our Country (7 Right or Wrong TUESDAY'S ELECTION IMPORTANT - To put it mildly, the political strategists of both parties are in a state of confusion and won- der as to what changes, if any, Tuesday's elec- tion will produce. Republican and Democratic party spokesmen have gone through the routine of saying they ex- pect whopping victories at the polls. Neither side, it is safe to say, is anywhere as confident as those standard-brand prognostications would in- dicate. The primaries have not demonstrated much of anything. Both pro-Truman and anti- Truman candidates have won. The Democratic position isn much the same as it was last time. It is argued that the president is the friend of the masses of the people and the enemy of the .exploiters, and that his program is just what the country needs. It will be necessary to elect a strongly Democratic congress, the ar- gument continues, to give him the support he must have. The basic Republican argument is that the Democrats have at last proven themselves utterly incapable of guiding this country through the period of strain and grave danger that lies ahead. The Republican leaders feel that there is evi- dence that this belief has grown in the grass- roots. Whether it has grown to a sufficient extent to change the control of congress is what no one knows. And these questions will make Tuesday's elec- tion unusually interesting as well as vitally im- portant. There are no opposed candidates on the bal- lot in Gulf county (unless you consider the Re- publicans opposed to Jerry Carter and -George Smathers as possible opposition), but qualified electors are urged to go to the polls and express their opinion on the five constitutional amhend- ments. Four of these amendments are not par- ticularly important, but No. 1, pertaining t.o juve- nile courts, is exceeding important, and we trust that the people of Gulf county will go over- whelmingly in favor of it. Capitol Hill would control rents, roads and railroads; prices, production, power and pork; airlines, animals, autos, monies andc credits; in- dustry, crops, illness and old age; and, if it could, it might even try to regulate demand, popula- tion, and the hereafter.-T;i' :c City (Ia.)

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 1950 Telephone 37 Port St. Joe, FloeidCa PAGE~~~~ SI H TR OT T OGL ONT, LRD RDYNVME ,1 Training Cost Per Pupil In County Schools Is $148 Compares FavorablyWith Costs In Other Counties of North- west Florida According to a survey just com- pleted, the cost of sending a child to school for a year in Gulf county averages $148.85. The statewide av- erage is $170.45. Lowest cost per pupil in the state went to Bay county with $117.15. Other Northwest Florida counties had the following costs: Calhoun, $170.15; Franklin. $191.96; Gadsden, $134.32; Holmes, $130.52; Liberty, $211.52; Okaloosa. $124.50; Walton. $156.95; Washington, $122.52; Wa- kulla, $169.57. With Gulf county ranking sixth in Northwest Florida, County Su- perintendent Tom Owens points out that consolidation of school centers had.a lot to do with reducing the cost per pupil. Owens pointed out that numerous surveys have showed it costs more to run small schools than large ones, which explains the trend from onre-teacher schools to modernly equipped, centralized school plants. A survey of costs of schools of Florida published recently in The Star revealed that the cost of a 49- .pupil school is $314.36 per pupil, while the cost of a 1000-pupil school drops to $77.30 per pupil. DON LINTON STANDS OUT IN CHIPOLA COLLEGE TILT ' In the grid game last week be- tween Chipola Junior College and the Florida State U. B team. Don LiRton was largely responsible for the FSU 33-6 win.

Florida State's second marker came as Lin- ton passed to Cliff Powell, end, for the final six yards. The last of the five FSU touch- downs resulted when Don passed 15 yards to Preston Bradley, full- back; for the score. It's Twins for the Alsobrooks!
