Mayor Belin Urges

Residents of City.

Support Seal Sale

Points Out That Program of
Association Improves
Health Standards

Stressing that "no home is safe
while there is a single case of tu-
berculosis in the community, Mayor
J. C. Belin yesterday issued a for-
SFig jiht TB in mal proclama-
tion urging ac-
tive support of
e ery Port St.
.' Joe resident of
the 1950 Christ-
'- mas Seal sale,
Sto be conduct-
ed from Nov.
20 to Dec. 25
Buy Christmas Seals by t h e Gulf
'County Tuberculosis and Health
Association.
"Tuberculsis is a communicable
disease and therefore a public
health problem which should be the
concern of every resident of Port
St. Joe, as well as city officials,"
the mayor said in issuing his proc-
lamation. "The work of the Gulf
County Tuberculosis and Health As-
sociation toward preventing and
controlling tuberculosis in this area
has helped city officials to improve
the health standards of our com-
mnunity.
"The Gulf county association is
working the year 'round to free the
county .from tuberculosis. Yet it
makes but one appeal a year for
funds to finance its 12-month pro-
gram, aimed at the protection of all
of us against this dread disease. I
urge very resident of Gulf county
to buy and use as many Christmas
Seals as he can and thereby make
an investment of health for the
coming year."
Following is the text of Mayor
Belin's proclamation:
Whereas, Tuberculosis kills more
young adults between 15 and 35
than any other disease; and,
Whereas, No home in this com-
munity is safe while a single case
of tuberculosis exists in Port St.
Joe; and,
Whereas ,The Gulf County Tu-
berculosis and Health Association
is waging a year 'round battle
against tuberculosis to bring it un-
der complete control in Port St.
Joe; and,
Whereas, The sale of Christmas
Seals constitutes the sole support
of the association and all its pro-
jects;
Therefore, I, J. C. Belin, as mayor
of the city of Port St. Joe, do
strongly recommend that all resi-
dents of Port St. Joe buy and use
as many Christmas Seals as they
can in support of the Gulf County
Tuberculosis and Health Associa-
tion's efforts toward making this
community a healthier one in which
to live.

Three Local Concerns Try
'Co-operative Advertising

Three Port St. Joe business con-
cerns are trying something new in
the way of co-operative advertising.
They are running their regular'ad-
vertisements in The Star and then
joining together to have the ads
printed on both sides of a 12x18-
inch handbill for distribution from
door to door and through the mail.
The idea was started two weeks
ago by Rich's Curb Market and the
Boyles Department Store, and they
reported such good returns that the
Danley Furnilure Store asked to
get in on the deal.
So this week the handbills carry
Boyles and Rich's on one side and
Danley's on the other side.


Sikes Speaker At

Joint Meeting of

City Civic Clubs

Congressman Tells of Threat of
Communism and Other Details
of Far East Situation

Speaking before a joint meeting
of the Port St. Joe Rotary and Ki-
wanis Clubs Wednesday noon, Con-
gressman Bob Sikes told of the
situation in Korea, the threat of
Communism and how we stood in
the matter at present. He stated
that the United States had made a
great many diplomatic blunders in
the past but that today these errors
were rapidly being corrected.
The congressman dwelt at length
on propaganda warfare and how
Communism operates, promising a
great deal but giving little after
taking over a country.
He said that our diplomats were
doing everything they could to keep
from becoming entangled with Red
China, conceding everything but the
honor of our country.
Sikes also spoke briefly of his
congressional duties in this extra
large district, -explaining that he
could not give as much time as he
would like to get out and talk with
his constituents.
Mickey Stone acted as program
chairman, introducing Representa-
tive George Tapper, who in turn in-
troduced Congressman Sikes. The
meeting was presided over by G. F.
Lawrence, president of the St. Joe
Kiwanis Club. Some 90 people were
present to hear Sikes, including rep-
resentatives from the Wewahitchka
Rotary and Kiwanis Clubs.
The dinner was served by the
Methodist Men's Club, and organ
music was provided by Miss Ed-
wina Howell.


Sharks Bow To

Graceville 58-13

Will, Meet Bonifay Here Tonight
Under Lights At Centen-I
nial Field

The St. Joe Shark grid team went
down to defeat by a 58-13 score last
Friday night at Graceville as the
Graceville team chalked up their
first conference victory of the sea-
son.
Graceville scored twice in the
first period to make it 1 -0, but the
Sharks boosted it to 13-7 within a
few, minutes when Philip Chatham
took the kickoff after Graceville's
second score and carried it to the
two-yard line before being tackled.
He went across from that spot for
the counter and the try for point
was good.
Graceville scored three additional
touchdowns in the second period
and added two extra points to go
ahead by 33-7 at halftime. Two of
these touchdowns came as a result
of passes after offensive drives had
been made to set up the scoring
plays.
Adding two more scores during
the third quarter, the Graceville
eleven brought the count t6 46-7
The second St. Joe score came dur-

Purchase of Grader

By County Proves

Hard Nut To Crack

Other Matters Taken Up and
Disposed of By
Board

The board of county commission-
ers, at its regular November meet-
ing, had a see-saw battle as to what
kind of motor grader be purchased
by Gulf county.
Bids were submitted by three
companies, the Seabrook Truck &
Tractor Company, $10,130; Burford-
Toothaker Tractor Company, $11,-
439.65, and the Ray-Brooks Machin-
ery Company, $11,563.49.
The board considered each bid
and went into lengthy discussions
with the salesmen of each company
submitting a bid. Then there was a
motion by Commissioner Tobe Gay,
seconded by Commissioner P. G.
Strange, that the county accept the
bid of the Seabrook Company, as
it was the lowest. This was voted
down 2-3, with Gay and Strange
voting aye and Commissioners J. F.
Miller, J. S. Daniel and B. E. Ken-
ney Jr., voting nay.
Then Daniel made a motion, sec-
onded by Miller that the bid of the
Ray-Brooks Company be accepted.
This never came to a vote due to
the fact that Miller withdrew his
second.
Commissioner Daniel then moved,
that the board take a recess to eat
dinner, but w: r'Er.-.dd i,r o. y
silence. .
Next, Miller moved that the bid
of Burford-Toothaker be accepted.
No second to the motion.
Commissioner Gay then moved
that the board reconsider, and that
the Seabrook bid be accepted. This
was seconded by Strange, and upon
being put to a vote resulted in a 2-3
defeat, Gay and Strange being in
favor and Daniel, Miller and Ken-
ney against.
Then Daniel moved that all bids
be rejected and the project be re-
advertised. No second.
After more discussion there was
a motion by Gay, seconded by Pete
Strange, that the county accept the
bid of the Seabrook Company, as
it was the lowest bid received, and
upon vote Gay, Strange and Miller
voted aye, Daniel voted nay, and
Chairman Kenney did not vote.
Whereupon, with a sigh of relief,
the chairman announced that the
motor grader be purchased from the
Seabrook Truck & Tractor Com-
pany.
The board, among other things,
ordered abandonment of a portion
of two streets in Oak Grove upon
petition of J. F. Miller, a qualified
landowner. The notice of abandon-

Our Country --. Right or Wreng

DID YOU SHIRK YOUR DUTY?
The ballot box stands between a free people
and enslavement. The right to vote is the strong-
est defense we have against oppression.
Few people will deny this. Yet a large number
of residents of Port St. Joe, who regard them-
selves as good and patriotic citizens, failed to
take advantage of their greatest privilege in the
November 7 general election. But 306 of an esti-
mated 1400 qualified voters went to the polls to
cast their ballots.
In local elections it is common for less than
,half of the eligible voters to go to the polls. Even
in national elections, in which men are running
for the highest offices, and in which issues and
principles of the utmost moment are at stake,
millions of us don't vote.
The result, of course, is government by mi-
nority-there is no way to measure the views and
opinions of the man who fails to exercise the
right of franchise. Government of the people is
possible only when the people make their stand
known-and that can be done only at the ballot
:box. The majority rules, as usual, but the true
-voice of the majority can never be known if peo-
ple who possess the right to vote shirk their duty
;and responsibility.

We're curious to know how the female bathing
suit industry is to comply with the government's
desire to have us get along with less of every-
thing.-Wckefield (Mass.) Daily Item.

The Way To Humanity's H-e-t


FOUR SCORE AND SEVEN YEARS AGO-
This year it is just four score and seven years
since weary, ailing President Lincoln made the
"few appropriate remarks" asked of him at Get-
tysburg. The date was November 19, 1863. How
many of us know more than the first few words
of that brief, memorable talk? How many of our
school children here in Port St. Joe even know
there was such a talk made? Few, well venture
to say.
One thing that doesn't suffer from age is Truth
-and Lincoln's message has as much meaning
today as it had 87 years ago. It is reprinted be-
low for the benefit of readers of The Star:
Four score and seven years ago our fathers
brought forth, upon this continent, a new nation,
conccived in Liberty, and dedicated to the prop-
osition that all men are created equal.
Now we are engaged in a great civil war, test-
ing whether that nation, or any nation so con-
ceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We
are met here on a great battlefield of that war.
We have come to dedicate a portion of it as a
final resting place for those who here gave their
lives that that nation might live. It is altogether
fitting and proper that we should do this.
But in a larger sense we can not dedicate-
we can not consecrate-we can not hallow this
ground. The brave men, living and dead, who
,fiu..:,-',l here, have consecrated it far above our
poor power to add or detract. The world will
little note, nor long remember, what we say here,
but can never forget what they did here.
It is for us, the living, rather to be dedicated
here to the unfinished work which they have,
thus far, so nobly carried on. It is rather for us
to be here dedicated to the great task remaining
before us-that from these honored dead we take
increased devotion to that cause for which they
here gave the last full measure of devotion-that
we here highly resolve that these dead shall not
have died in vain; that this nation, under God,
shall have a new birth of freedom; and that this
government of the people, by the people, for the
people, shall not perish from the earth.

This idea of a United Nations flag may be all
right in its place, but the editor of The Star'feels
that it should not supersede the Stars and Stripes,
particularly in our schools. The United States
has not been absorbed into the United Nations,
therefore the American flag, symbol of one na-
tion, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all,"
and it alone, should float over our institutions of
learning.

Good business is the art of keeping consumers
dissatisfied with what they have.

From the Files of The Star

Local Man Held for Shooting
William T' Sherwood of this city
has been wounded and is being held
in the Mobile, Ala., jail after a gun
battle in the heart of the Mobile
business district with police. He
was arrested for failing to stop his
car at a through street, and after
resisting arrest, was placed in a po-
lice car. Sherwood drew a pistol in
the car, shot a police officer in the
arm and hand and jumped from the
car. He was shot twice in the arm
by the other officer as he fled. He
is an employee of the Apalachicola
Northern Railroad and was spend-
ing Armistice Day in Mobile.
Commissioners Will Cut Millage
Meeting Tuesday to discuss bud-

The present rate is 10 mills.

Increase In State

Auto Taxes Seen

Average Motorist Now Paying Ap-
proximtely $112 Yearly for
Privilege of Owning Car

Special state taxes collected each
year from Florida motorists will
jump by at least $8,165,000 because
of the 1950 increase in motor ve-
hicle ownership, according to the
Florida petroleum industries com-
mittee.
This computation is based on
preliminary estimates of 1950 car,
bus and truck registrations recently
released by the U. S. Bureau of
Public Roads.
It is pointed out that without any
increase in present tax rates, the
increase in vehicle ownership ex-
pected during 1950 should mean a
11% increase in registration fee
collections and a minimum increase
of $5,675,000 in gasoline tax reve-
nues to Florida. Increased use of
motor vehicles and new registra-
tions in future years will further in-
crease state highway-user tax col-
lections.
The bureau of public roads esti-
mated that Florida will have 952,-
.000 registered motor vehicles at
the beginning of 1951, compared
with 855,504 at the start of 1950.
In the course of this year, the pe-
troleum committee says, the Flor-
ida motorist will pay an average of
about $112 in state and federal
levies just because he owns and op-
erates a car or truck. And govern-
ment receives more and more each
year in motorists' taxes as motor
vehicle ownership increases and
each vehicle travels more miles
.with the passing of the years.

Skin Test


The tuberculin test is a simple
sensitivity test to find out whether
or not a person has tuberculosis
germs in his body. A positive re-
action does not necessarily mean
active tuberculosis, but it should
be followed by a chest X-ray to
make certain there is no disease.
Tuberculin testing programs for
school children are supported in
many localities by Christmas Seal
Sale funds.

GARDEN NOTES
PORT ST. JOE GARDEN CLUB

If you would like to have help in
landscaping your yard, Miss Emma
Stevenson, our county home dem-
onstration agent, will be glad to
come to your yard and give you
suggestions. Just send her a card
at Wewahitchka.
It's pleasant to have passers-by
admire your yard, but you're miss-
ing the whole point of an attrac-
tive garden if you don't enjoy it
yourself. And to really enjoy it, you
have to have a place where you can
sit and relax and forget worries.
That doesn't mean you have to
have a big, expensive flagstone ter-
race. You can do wonders with an
angle of your house, a shady spot
by the drive, a corner by the gar-
age. All you need is shade, a little
privacy and surroundings that are
pleasant to look at. Either a fence
or a high mass of shrubs can give
privacy. 0
Every month of the year in Flor-
ida the yard can be used. Plant
trees for shade for a delightful spot
in summer. For the cold, windy
months, plan your outdoor living
area in a sheltered spot, such as a
corner by the garage, or plant a
tall hedge on the north side to cut
off the wind, and you'll find there
will be few days when you caa't
sit outside.
An outdoor table and fireplace
are added attractions for outdoor
living. Place your clothesline, gar-
bage can, etc.-the service section
of the yard-in a separate part of
the yard, with perhaps a hedge or
fence to screen it off from the liv-
ing area.
To the gardener who is consider-


ing developing his backyard for
pleasant living, the book, "Sunset
Ideas for Landscaping Your Home"
may be obtained for $1 from the
Lane Publishing Co., 576 Sacra-
mento Street, San Francisco, Calif.

Schools May Ask for

Appropriation Boost

'Probably Need Additional $21,000,-

Florida schools may ask the 1951

State School Superintendenit Tom
Bailey gave the figures to the edu-
cation committee of the legislative
council Monday. However, he em-
phasized they are extremely tenta-
tive so far because budget calcula-
tions have not been made.
Bailey said enlarged enrollments
are responsible for at least 90% of

keeps growing," he said.

Health Board Control

Program Is Definitely

Proving Rough On Rats

Typhus Fever Making Spectacular
Decline In Counties Where
Work Being Pushed

Florida's public health rodent con-
trol program is definitely proving
rough on rats and equally beneficial
for people, says the Florida State
Board of Health.
Typhus fever, which is generally
spread to people by fleas from in-
fected rats and mice, has been mak-
ing a spectacular decline in coun-
ties where a rat control program
has been pushed most vigorously,
and shows an encouraging slump on
a statewide basis.
Rat control programs operate pri-
marily as local projects of the vari-
ous .county health departments with
assistance from the state board of
health, the U. S. Public Health Ser-
vice, t h e Rockefeller Foundation
and other agencies.
The editor of The Star has been
in Port St. Joe for 14 years and
has yet to hear of a case of typhus
here. However, during the first part
of the last war, while watching
ships from South America take on
lumber, we've seen rats come down
the big hawsers, jump the tin cone
around it, and scuttle off across
the dock. Whether or not they were
carrying typhus fleas, we wouldn't
know.
Reported cases of typhus in the
state reached 370 by 1945, climbed

pupils to the state's school enroll-
ment every week. "It will cost at
least $10,000,000 a year for the next
five years to take care of these ad-
ditional students," he said.
The committee met in Tallahas-
see to hear suggestions from edu-
cators and lay people on improve-
ment of the state's schools.

to 397 cases in 1946, then slipped
to 340 cases in 1947, according to
records compiled by the state board
of health. The statewide downward
trend was noted in 1948 when 166
cases were registered, followed by
123 cases in 1949.
So far during 1950 there have
been only 28 cases of typhus re-
ported for the first nine months of
the year. Ten of these, records
show, are in Hillsborough county.


Dangerous to Dogs
The Journal of the American Vet-
erinary Medical association has
cautioned against giving dogs ex-
cesive doses of vitamin A, Experi-
ments with puppies showed that
doses greatly in excess of the
mount they normally require pro-
duced loss of weight, poor appe-
tite, and other undesirable changes.
The warning was sounded for own-
ers who mistakenly assume that
extra large amounts of vitamin A
will aid their dogs' health.

Nurse Tells How Hadacol

Was So Helpful To Her


.Supplied Vitamins Bi, B2, Iron and Niacin
Which Her System Lacked


Mrs. Jennie Lee Adele, 412 N.
27 St., East St. Louis, Ill., a nurse,
says she wishes she had found
out about HADACOL sooner be-
cause since taking HADACOL she
feels so good. Mrs. Adele was suf-
fering a deficiency of Vitamins B',
3=, Niacin and Iron which HADA-
COL contains.
Here is Mrs. Adele's own state-
ment: "I. have been a nurse for
over 14 years. My food never
seemed to agree with me. I heard
one day how so many folks were
being helped because of HADA-
COL. I tried it and after 3 bottles
I could tell a big improvement.
Now I eat anything I want-sleep
well and I am full of energy."
Why HADACOL Gives
Such Fine Results
HADACOL does riot bring just
symptomatic relief. HADACOL
now makes it possible to actually
relieve the cause of aches and pains
in the shoulders, legs and arms,
certain nervous disturbances, and
a general run-down weakened con-
dition due to deficiencies of Vita-
mins B1, B2, Niacin and Iron in
your system.
i ADACOL .not only,supplies de-
ficient systems with extra quan-
tities of Vitamins B', B2, Iron, and
Niacin but also helpful amounts of
important Calcium and Phosphorus


-elements so vital to help main-
tain good health and physical fit-
ness.
,Why These Vitamins :and
Minerals Come In Lid,Form '
There's a very. good reason why
HADACOL .comes in special liquid
form. These precious Vitamins and
Minerals ate more easily and quick-
ly absorbed into the blood stream
this way-ready to. go. right to
work. A big improvement is often
noticed within a few days.
Don't Be A 'Doubting Thomas'
After reading Mrs. Adele's won,
derful experience with HADACOL
-how can you. doubt that this
great new nutritional formula will
help you if your. system lacks Vita-
mins B', Ba, Iron, and Niacin?
What HADACOL did for Mrs.
Adele, it can do for you if you're
troubled with aches and pains in
the shoulders, legs, and arms, cer-
tain nervous disturbances, insom-
nia when due to an upset stomach,
stomach distress and a general run-
down weakened condition due to
such deficiencies.
So what are you waiting for?
Don't you see that HADACOL is
the kind of product you need the
kind you should buy and the kind
you should start taking immedi-
ately!
Sold On A Strict Money-Back
Guarantee
HADACOL even helps build up
the hemoglobin content of your
blood (when Iron is needed) to
course through your body, carry-
ing these great health-building ele-
ments to every body organ. No
wonder HADACOL helps you feel
wonderful.
Be fair to yourself! Give your-
self a break if you have such defi-
ciencies! Why continue to drag
yourself around-a burden to your-
self and your family-when relief
may be as close at hand as your
nearest drugstore if you suffer a
defiiciency of Vitamins 3,, B2, Nia-
cin and Iron. This great HADA-
COL is inexpensive, too-costs only
a small amount a day. Trial size,
only $1.25. Large family or hos-
pital size, $3.50. If your druggist
does not have HADACOL, order it
direct from The LeBlane Corpora-
tion, Lafayette, Louisiana.

State-Wide Forest
Fire Prevention
Campaign Opens

Individual Citizens Urged To Co-
operate To Prevent $30,000,000
Loss In Woods Fires

"Florida will again lose $30,000,-
000 this winter unless the individual
citizen helps prevent woods fires,"
State Forester C. H. Coulter said in
announcing the opening of the an-
nual state-wide forest fire preven-
tion campaign Monday.
"Co-operation of the people of
Gulf county and the entire state
against wildfire is imperative," the
state forester said. "Woods fires
cost the woodland owners $4,500,-
000 last year. In wages, transporta-
tion and manufacturing an addi-
tional $25,500,000 is lost.
"This most shameful waste re-
sults from woods fires caused by
man, either carelessly or deliber-
ately."
The campaign has been timed to
open at the beginning of Florida's
worst woods fire season, which
usually is from Noveniber through
March. These are the months when
Florida woodlands are generally
drier and the fire hazard is greatest.
Co-operating with the Florida For-
est Service in the campaign are the
U. S. Forest Service, American Red
Cross and other public agencies and
private clubs and organizations.
The theme of the campaign this
year is "Our Most Shameful Waste.
Remember Only YOU Can Pre-
vent Woods Fires."

It was agreed that the county will
