St. Joe Tax Roll

For 1950 Based

On $4,305,605

Valuation Up Over '49 With
Millage Down 1.1; Early
Birds Will Save Cash

As all property owners realized
this week as they received their
assessment notices, city taxes in
Port St. Joe are again due.
The city's 1950 tax roll is made
up against $4,305.605 worth of real
and personal property, according to
-City Clerk Ben Dickens Jr., repre-
senting an increased valuation of
$164,605 over last year's $4,141,000.
Total taxes levied against prop-
erty will bring in $72,765.23, less
the discounts taken by those who
pay up before March 1. During No-
vember the discount is 4%, which
ain't hay; December, 3%; January,
2%, and February, 1%. After April
1 one per cent will be added and in-
creased one per cent each month
thereafter until paid. So, the early
birds will save money by paying
during November.
Recently the city commissioners
reduced taxes by 1.1 mills for this
year, the assessment now being 16.9
mills. Of this amount 12.4 mills is
for the general fund, which will re-
-quire $53,390: 2.5 mills, which will
raise $10,764.02, will go toward re-
tiring dredging bonds, and 2 mills,
for $8,611.21, will care for the re-
cently voted refunding bond .issqe.

Port St. Joe High School

Check Will Decide If School Is To
Remain On Accredited List of
Southern Association

The Port St. Joe high school was
being evaluated yesterday as The
Star went to press to see if the
standards of the school are high
enough for it to remain on the ac-
credited list of, high schools in -the
southern association. The group do-
ing the work will continue today
and tomorrow. This evaluation is
made every three years and is done
to help point out needed improve-
ments.
The committee dcfg the evalua-
tion is made up of Dr. Virgil Strick-
land, Florida State University; Wil-
bur Marshall, field supervisor, state

principal, Grand Ridge; Margaret
Fields, teacher, Bay high; Pauline

sey, math teacher, St. Joe high, and

belle.
The committee will make a gen-
eral inspection, checking teaching
methods, school organization and
all other phases of the school pro-
gram. A report will be made to the
high school faculty and one to the
Gulf county school board.

OFFICE OF COUNTY CLERK TO
REMAIN OPEN WEDNESDAYS
George Core, clerk of the circuit
court, informs us that his office in
future will not close on Wednes-
day afternoons, due to the fact that
so many residents of the county are
off from work at that time and are
desirous of transacting business.
Instead, George and his helper
will close the office on Saturday af-
ternoons to go fishing.

Seal, sheets of
which will be
received in the
homes of Gulf
county on Mon-
day, N o v. 20,
the day, on


which the seal -sale officially opens
in communities all over the nation.
Inscribed on the lower left cor-
ner of the seal is the red double-
barred cross, international symbol
of the campaign against tuberculo-
sis and registered insignia of the
National Tuberculosis Association,
with which the Gulf County Tuber-
culosis and Health Association is
affiliated.
Designer of the 1950 seal is An-
dr6 Dugo, internationally noted ar-
tist, this being the second time he
has designed the Christmas Seal,
his first appearing in 1943.
According to Silas Stone, presi-
dent of the Gulf county association,
artist Dugo's simple explanation of
his selection of motif for the seal
is that he loves children. His three
"angel children" are characteristic
of his work, said Stone, and could
represent a trio of "small citizens"
in any American community.
The 1950 Christmas Sale in Gulf
county, part of the 44th annual
Christmas Seal sale conducted thru-
out the nation to fight tuberculosis,
will continue until December 25.
Gulf county's quota is $2500, the
minimum needed to carry out the
1951 tuberculosis prevention and
control program of the Gulf County
Tuberculosis and Health Associa-
tion.

Registration for Tax Course
At Vet Institute Still Open

Registration for the federal in-
come tax course to be offered by
the veterans' institute here is still
going on.
Local businessmen with limited
knowledge of federal income tax
laws and accounting procedure now
have an opportunity to acquire that
knowledge at a very nominal cost.
Completion of this course would
enable anyone to make out even
the most complicated tax returns,
not only for himself at a definite
saving, but also for others at a
profit, says Director Mel Magidson.
Present plans call for the course
to begin on November 20. All inter-
ested persons are urged to contact
Director Magidson as soon as pos-
soble at the old grammar school
building, phone 117-W.

ably not more than two or three of
this number will finally be con-
firmed as diabetics.

But 624 Gulf


County Voters

Cast Ballots


Light Vote Is Due To Lack of
Contests; 35 Republicans
Come Out of Hiding

Gulf county, along with the rest
of Florida, remained in the "Solid
South" Democratic column follow-
ing Tuesday's off-year election, but,
the percentage of Republican bal-
lots jumped 2 to 35 over the 33 cast
in the 194S general election. Thru-
out the state the G. 0. P. chalked
*up 72,951 as we went to press yes-
terday.
Ur.official totals for the county,
furnished us by Clerk George Core,
show that 624 voters went to the
polls, with the following results:
Senate- George Smathers, 579;
John P. Booth, 35.
Railroad Commission-Jerry Car-
ter, 583; Clifton D. Scalf, 31.

Highway West of St.

Joe To Be Relocated

Road Department Also Considering
More Direct Route From This
City To Apalachicola

As pointed out editorially in The
Star several weeks ago, about the
best thing to do with Highway 98
west of this city where it borders
the bay closely at some points, is
to relocate it instead of repairing
it at considerable cost after every
heavy storm and apparently the
state road department concurs in
this matter, for in the minutes of
the last meeting of the board the
following appeared:
"On motion of Mr. McKethan,
seconded by Mr. Nelson, the board
agreed that the section of U: S.
Highway 98 just west of Port St.
Joe, Gulf county, should be con-
structed on a new location as- soon
as possible, the cost of same to be
charged to the department's emer-
gency fund."
Also in the minutes was reference
to the recent request of the county
commissioners of Gulf and Frank-
lin counties for a more suitable *
road between this city and Apa-
lachicola, as follows:
"Mr. J. H. Dowling, engineer,
came before the board in behalf of
Franklin and Gulf counties and
filed resolutions from the boards of
county commissioners asking the
department to survey, prepare plans
and construct a new road by the
most direct and practical route be-
tween Port St. Joe and Apalachi-
cola at an early date."

Undergoes Operation
Mrs. W. S. Smith, who underwent
a major operation Monday morning
at the Port St. Joe Municipal Hos-
pital, expects to be home today if
she can talk Doc Ward into letting
her out.

Our Country Right or Wrong

A COMBINATION OF NEW AND OLD
Many of us have come to think of the Christ-
mas Seal as the first harbinger of Christmas.
When these seals arrive in our mail around
Thanksgiving time, we realize that "Christmas
is coming," that once more we shall relive all the
beautiful traditions that make this the best time
of year.
There is always a moment of pleasant antici-
pation before we open our envelope and unfold
the sheets of seals. This year's seal, we know,
will be different from last year's. There will be a
new design-a new color combination-to give
our holiday packages and letters a "new look."
There is always something new about the seal.
But there is also something old about it. And we
are glad there is, for it is the old which has estab-
lished the seal as a cherished tradition.
Every year the Christmas Seal proudly dis-
plays the red double-barred cross, emblem of the
world-wide crusade against tuberculosis. This
cross is the clue to another thing about the seal


which does not change.
For 43 years the seal has made possible the
far-flung fight against tuberculosis waged by the
3000 voluntary associations affiliated with the
National Tuberculosis Association. For a goodly
number of years Christmas Seals have been sold
in Gulf county to support the sound, constructive
projects of the Gulf County Tuberculosis and
Health Association to eradicate this communic-
able disease which stands first among diseases
as the cause of death among young adults from
15 to 35 years of age.
The seal appears in a new dress each year, but
its spirit is always the same-it is the spirit of cru-
saders against a deadly foe, a spirit which is sym-
bolized by the double-barred cross.
We join the ranks of those crusaders when we

False Statements In
Compensation Claims
Bring Heavy Penalties

Full Restitution Required Where
Benefits Are Accepted
Through Error

Under the terms of the Florida
unemployment compensation law,
whoever makes a false statement
or representation, knowing it to be
false, or knowingly fails to disclose
a material fact to obtain or increase
any benefits or other payment.
either for himself or for any other
person, shall be punished by a fine
of not more than $100 or less than
$50, or by imprisonment for not
more than 30 days, or by both such
fine and imprisonment.
Any person who secures benefits
by illegal means, commits a crimi-
nal act which defrauds all workers.
Courts are disposed to deal severely
with-this type of fraud and impose
penalties where criminal intent is
shown.
In cases where benefits have
been wrongfully claimed and ac-
cepted through error, fines and im-
prisonment are not imposed, but
full restitution is ordered.
One form of fraud that is rigor-
ously prosecuted is concealment of
earnings during a period for which
unemployment benefits are claimed.
Records of the Florida Industrial
Commission eventually bring such
frauds to light, as the worker's
earnings are reported to the com-
mission at the end of each quarterly
period.

Floral Arrangements
Better too few flowers than too
many in your floral-arrangements.
Proportion is of great importance.
See that your flowers are approxi-
mately one and a half times the
height of the vase, or one and a
half times the width of the bowl.
Mass the heavy or dark flowers
near the base with the light colors
and forms toward the top.

Smathers Attacked
By Russian Paper

Accused By "izvestia" of Buying
Votes and Support of Newspa-
pers and Radio Stations

According to a story in the New
York Times, Representative George
Smathers has been accused by the
Russian newspaper Izvestia of re-
lying "on special storm troops of
the fascist type" to win the Florida
Democratic senatorial nomination.
Izvestia said that these troops
called themselves "The Order of
Smathers Sergeants" and terrorized
negroes w h o wanted to vote for
Senator Claude Pepper.
The Russian newspaper went on
to say that another factor in the
Smathers victory was the support
of "the duPont chemical kings," de-
scribed as "the complete bosses of
Florida," and that duPont money
was used to buy votes at $10 and
$20 apiece. Smathers was also ac-
cused of buying wholesale support
of newspapers and radio stations.
(The editor of The Star fought Pep-
per, but said not one kind word for
Smathers. Looks like we missed out
on some of that wholesale spending
of money for the support of news-
papers.)
Smathers says he is glad to be
on Izvestia's "hate list," saying:
"Their assertions, of course, are
typical. As we have pointed out for
several years, the Commies brand
those who oppose them as reaction-
aries and fascists. Their statement
is about as truthful as their claim
that they had nothing to do with
North Korea invading South Korea
or that they are a people's democ-
racy when they set up the cruelest
dictatorship of all history, destroy
religions and desecrate homes and
families.
"The only thing they failed to
charge me with was the upset of
Vanderbilt by the Florida 'Gators.
I am sorry they didn't,. as I would
like to claim credit for that."


Tomorrow May Be Too Late!
Right now we have a wide variety
for you to select from in a wide

know when some of the lines will

TO


YOU!


YOU, if you are a wage earner, are
Reserve Board that makes it almost


the victim of the bureaucratic regulation of the Federan
impossible for you to buy an automobile.


ASK YOURSELF what kind of government you have in Washington that permits such an out-
rageous regulation to be forced on the public without hearings and without warning.

Prior to September 18, 1950, Dealers Were Able To Arrange Terms To Meet the
Individual Buyer's Budget With Monthly Payments Ranging Up To Thirty Months.
On September 18, the Federal Reserve Board Decreed Terms of One-Third Down and
a Maximum of Twenty-One Months To Pay the Balance.
THEN ON OCTOBER 16, 1950, WITHOUT ANY HEARING AND WITH ONLY 55 HOURS NOTICE,
THE FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD PUT INTO EFFECT CREDIT CONTROLS ON AUTOMOBILE PUR-
CHASES WHICH REQUIRE A ONE-THIRD DOWN PAYMENT AND WHICH REDUCED THE TIME
PAYMENT PERIOD FROM 21 MONTHS TO 15 MONTHS.


UNDER THE TERMS of this order, the wage earner, the average
citizen, YOU, cannot buy an automobile because payments have
been raised so high it is impossible to budget them.
AUTOMOBILES are not luxuries, if they were it would be different.
Nowadays automobiles are as necessary to most people as food,
clothing and a house to live in.
AND THEY ARE just as necessary to the average wage earner as
they are to the well-to-do few who are the only ones who can
afford to purchase them now, under this unjust and arbitrary
regulation.
THIS DISCRIMINATORY REGULATION was put into effect with-
out giving the buying public or automobile industry an oppor-
tunity to be heard. Even the vital transportation needs of
essential defense workers were "ignored.


UNLESS THIS REGULATION is modified without delay, its effect
will be to cripple our entire economy, create widespread unem-
ployment and work hardship on large numbers of people.
THERE IS NO NEED for such an arbitrary edict which estab-
lishes payments beyond the reach of the average American
wage earner.
UNLESS YOU PROTEST this NOW, this will be only the fore-
runner of other government regulations that do not fairly dis-
tribute the sacrifices of which we are all willing to bear our
share. This regulation is bureaucracy at its worst. But YOU
can do something about it!

Census Count Gives

Florida Two More

Seats In Congress

Up To Legislature To Redistrict
State In Time for 1952
Elections

Completion of the official tabula-
tion of the 1950 national census in-
dicates that Florida will get two
new members in the house of rep-
resentatives, raising the strength
of the delegation to eight in the
83rd congress, which will take of-
fice in 1953.
The census gives Florida an of-
ficial population of 2,771,305, an in-
crease of 46.1% in the ten-year pe-
riod, second only to California in
per cent of gain.
Under the present automatic con-
gressional reapportionment act the
state will become one of seven in
the Union to gain house members
and, with the exception of Califor-
inia, which gains seven seats, the
only state to win more than one
new seat.
It will now be up to the Florida
legislature to redistrict the state in
time for the 1952 elections. If the
legislature should fail to create two
new districts, the state would have
two house seats at-large.
Rumor has it that had there been
but one new seat available and if
it were left on an' at-large basis,
that both retiring Senator Claude'
Pepper and former Governor Mil-
lard Caldwell might be interested
in running for it. However, with
two seats at stake, if the legisla-
ture fails to redistrict, there un-
doubtedly will be an abundance of
candidates.

Congressional Record

"Fifty Years Before Your Eyes"
Records Greatness of Ameri-
can Achievement

"Fifty Years Before Your Eyes,"
which plays at the Port Theater
next Tuesday, made the Congres-
sional Record when Senator Ed-
ward Martin of Pennsylvania had
the following to say of it:
"It has been a source of consid-
erable gratification to observe the
splendid manner in which the mo-
tion picture industry has exerted
its powerful influence to stimulate
appreciation of our nation's history
and the sacred principles of our re-
public.
"I therefore desire to call to the
attention of my colleagues a most
unusual and significant film, 'Fifty
Years Before Your Eyes,' which
stands out as a brilliant example of
visual education in Americanism.
- "It records the greatness of Am-
erican achievement in industry, in
art, in science, in education, and in


spiritual progress from 1900 to this
year 1950.
"But the most powerful thing
about 'Fifty Years Before Your
Eyes' is the import it has for the
next half century. It is a reminder
of the greatness we have achieved
and a prediction of the greatness
that will be ours in the next fifty
years.
"The lesson taught by this film
should be a constant reminder of
the blessings we have enjoyed as
Americans. It should strengthen our
determination to preserve our pre-
cious liberties against every at-
tempt to weaken or destroy free-
dom of the individual as the foun-
dation of the American way of life."

Visiting In Georgia
Mr. and Mrs. D. C. Arnett and
daughter, Mrs. Virgie Atwell, left
last Friday for Douglas, Ga., to visit
their son and brother, David "Buck"
Arnett, and family. Mr. and Mrs.
Arnett spent the week-end, with
Mrs. Atwell remaining for a longer
visit.

State Price-Fixing

Boards Arousing Ire

of General Public

Milk Commission May Be On Road
To Oblivion Due To Obnoxious
and Arbitrary Rulings

By RUSSELL KAY
The public will stand a lot of
slappin' and kickin' around before
it finally gets up on its little pink
ear, but when it finally does-LOOK
OUT!
Dictatorship in any form is re-
sented by a free people, particularly
when that dictatorship attempts to
regulate their lives, stifle free en-
terprise and regulate prices.
Back in the good old "New Deal"
days the state legislature went hay-
wire and created a number of price-
fixing boards, giving these boards
wide dictatorial authority. They set
up a laundry and dry cleaning
board that was given authority to
say when, where and how you
should have your pants pressed,
and set the price you must pay; a
barber board to determine w h o
should or should not be allowed to
cut hair, and regulating the price
of such service; a milk commission
to regulate and dictate the produc-
tion and sale of milk.
The people of Florida did not ask
for and did'not want such boards
and commissions. They were all
created by selfish interests and,
while disguised as agencies de-
signred to protect the public, they
worked just the other way 'round.
The laundry and dry cleaning
board, in its effort to protect the
big shot establishment, harassed
the little independent operator to a
point that many were put out of
business. The public, instead of re-
ceiving any benefit, was constantly
kicked in the teeth and laughed off.
It got so bad that folks began
jumping on their legislative repre-
sentatives, and it didn't take the
frightened politicians very long to
see the handwriting on the wall, so
they proceeded to abolish that ob-
noxious agency, and with gusto.
We- have been getting along for
some time now without a dry clean-
ing board to make silly rules and
control prices. I haven't heard of
any delegation representing t he
public marching on Tallahassee in
an effort to have the agency re-
stored. No doubt certain selfish in-
terests would favor it, but not Mr
John Q. Public.
Now the Florida state milk com-
mission by its regulation which
forces the people of Florida to pay
through the nose for milk and its
threat to punish any dairyman who
dares to sell milk for less than the
arbitrary price it has set, is follow-
ing the same road to oblivion that
was pursued by the dry cleaning
and laundry board.
The people of Florida are becom-
ing plenty tired and fighting mad
over the whole messy business and
are just about ready to take the
bull by the horns. They know that
honest, capable dairymen can pro-
duce good milk and distribute it at
a profit at a price well below that
arbitrarily set by the commission,
and they resent being forced to pay
for the inefficiency of poor dairy-
men or selfish distributors who,
through the commission, are able
to hold up the price and the public
be damned.
Regulating the price of pants
pressing and haircuts was bad
enough, but when an attempt is
made to keep milk from babies and
school kids by establishing a price
that is the highest paid in the na-
tion, it is going a lot too far, and
my guess is that before the legis-
lature assembles in Tallahassee
next spring our worthy senators
and representatives are going to
get a grand and glorious earful
from Florida housewives. If the
first bill in the hopper isn't one to
abolish the milk commission I'll be
very much surprised.
In Hillsborough county the com-
mission, employing its absolute


power and authority in backing up
its unreasonable price increase, has
tc!d local dairymen that they must
hold that price or else, and threat-
ens to use its unholy power to
make a criminal out of any honest
dairyman who would put a fair
price on his milk and to subject
him to the severe penalty of a fine
of $500 a day for each day he fails
to comply with its decree or slap
him in prison for a year, public in-
dignation is aflame.
A Tampa dairyman, who insisted
that he could continue selling his
milk profitably at the former price
and who at first refused to comply
with the price-raising ruling, has
been forced to join in the holdup or
suffer a heavy penalty for daring
to oppose the all-powerful commis-
sion.
This is the kind of thing our
boys are dying in Korea to prevent.
This form of coercion is repellent
-o American principles and the Am-
erican way of life. It should never
have been put 'in Florida law in the
first place, and it can be knocked
out and quick if the people of this
state unite and let their legislators
know how they feel about it. No
body of men should be given the
dictatorial authority now held by
this commission, and public wel-
fare demands that this agency be

By JACKIE KENNEY
Getting even for that 88S-0 vic-

town Tigers came back to this city
with roaring spirit last Friday night
and defeated the Sharks 6-0.
Blountstown got off to' a good
start by scoring in the first quarter
after a drive from midfield to the
Shark 10-yard line. From there
Gene Yon went for the first and
only touchdown of the game. A
trick pass play was attempted for
the extra point but failed.
The Sharks came into scoring po-
sition twice, set up by long passes
snagged by Bill Quarles, left end,
but failed to have that "touchdown
click." Once Raymond Lawrence
ran 35 yards to cross the marker,
but the play was called back due
to clipping.
Lawrence an d Bobby Gibson
played good football for the Sharks
and during the last quarter Bobby
gained 17 yards, putting the Sharks

Chevrolet trucks are engineered to "take it," in every way.
Chevrolet's heavy-duty hypoid rear axles offer maximum
strength with single-unit housings formed into fubular 1
steel beams, and splined axle-to-hub connections that
deliver power more evenly. Gears last longer, too... pinion
gear is ball-bearing supported at each end, with adjustable
thrust pad to prevent distortion on extra heavy puCls. Add
these advantages to powerful Valve-in-Head engines,
Synchro-Mesh transmissions, and channel-type frames.
Then you'll know why Chevrolet is the most popular truck
in America. Come see these great Chevrolet trucks today!

STARDUST and

MOONSHINE


Quite a number of people have
been trekking to the city dock af-
ter nightfall the past two weeks to
try their luck at catching white
trout, which have been running at
times. With cold weather coming
on, it is anticipated that speckled
trout will soon be around in herds.
The editor has been down to the
dock a couple of times, being kept
informed of when the fish are sup-
posed to be biting by Bill Mazorol,
high cockalorum of the Sinclair de-
pot at the warehouse. Bill seems to
have the fishing fever bad, for we
found him dunking shrimp every
time we went down there. His wife
says he generally don't get in until
11 or 12 o'clock. He's having a job
giving away the fish he catches-
says he's got to find some sucker
to take 'em, since his deep freeze
is loaded to the brim.

We accidentally found a new and
novel method of taking care of the
dirty dishes while we're eating at
home this week during the time
our wife is in the hospital. We
were loading 'em in the dishpan the
other day When we dropped a cup
which, naturally, broke to smith-
ereens, and then a soup dish man-
aged to s:-p through our clumsy
and untrained fingers. Eureka!
The dish-washing problem had been
solved in a simple manner by a
simple guy-whoy not toss 'em up
in the air, let 'em fall and wash
only those that remained unbusted?

A lot of folks are going to be dis-
appointed this week, since Glenn
Boyles, who is in Atlanta, failed to
get an ad in this issue of The Star
-the second time since he has been
in business. Our readers are
always wondering what sort of sale
he's going to pull next. .How-
ever, they won't be disappointed
when they turn to page three, since
G. F. Lawrence up there at Costin's
Department Store is staging a big
three-day "88c Sale," which offers
many wonderful bargains. His
ad took about all the figure eights


we had in the house and we really
had to scratch around and figure to
get enough of 'em.

A year since you left us, dear,
Without a goodbye, not even a wave of the
hand.
You just wandered away into an unknown
land,
It needs must be fair, since you've lingered
there.
We listen and wait, and our hearts yearn
For the familiar footsteps and the glad re-
turn.
To us you're not dead, you are just away,
And some time in the great beyond-beyond

Beyond the twilight deep and dim,
We'll meet again.

Patrolman Jordan Turns
In Report of His Activities

How would you like to travel an
average of 140 miles daily in the
course of holding down your job?
That's what State Highway Patrol-
man J. E. Jordan does-or at least
he did during the month of October
while patrolling the highways of
Gulf county. During that 30-day pe-
riod he chalked up 4210 miles-
This information is revealed in
his monthly report. In addition, he
made eight arrests, issued 13 warn-
ings of faulty equipment, rendered
assistance to motorists in two
cases, investigated one accident,
and was detailed to three funerals.
On the side he conducted 37 ex-
aminations for drivers, of whom 34
passed and three failed to secure
their drivers' licenses.

MOOSE LODGE HOLDING
ANNUAL TURKEY SHOOT
The annual turkey shoot of the
Port St. Joe Moose Lodge will be
held tomorrow afternoon beginning
at 1 o'clock at the old ball park.
Live birds will be given and guns
are available, or marksmen may
bring their own shooting- irons. Am-
munition will be furnished.
Proceeds from this shoot will go
toward the Christmas basket fund
of the organization.
Here's an opportunity to get a
Thanksgiving turkey for a buck or
two! Don't pass it up!

COLD WEATHER FIRES
CALL OUT DEPARTMENT
As usual, the first cold weather
results in calls for the volunteer
fire department as long-unused oil,
heaters and wood burners are lit.
The fire laddies were called out
at 730 Monday morning to the Wim-
berly Garage where an oil heater
was cutting up, and Tuesday noon
to the Dees home in Oak Grove for
the same reason. But luckily, in
both cases, the heaters merely had
bad cases of the burps.
