PORT ST. JOE A Progressive 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" VOLUME XIV PORT ST. JOE, FLORIDA, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 1950 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- (Continued on page 10) SCHOOLS TAKING TWO-DAY THANKSGIVING HOLIDAY Knowing that students will be too stuffed after partaking of the Thanksgiving feast to do any real studying, school officials will allow a two-day vacation next week - Thursday and Friday, with school taking up again the following Mon- day morning.

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 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. TEN YEARS AGO 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.

LAMAR MILER'S STANDARD STATION PHONE 98 PORT ST. JOE, FLORIDA THE STAR, PORT ST. JOE, GULF COUNTY, FLOMIDA FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 1950 PAGE FOUR -w r .r.. N E .T AS.JO IA FIV 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.

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.

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.

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 ,the increase.

JOHN ROBERT SMITH Pharmaceutical Chemist PHONE 5 PORT ST. JOE 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 l^^p^r/. >f^-"~ 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. 1K --- - Foreign Trada Foreign trade constitutes an im- portant part of New York state's business activity.

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.

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.

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." PURCHASE OF GRADER (Continued from page 1) ment is being published in The Star for the .benefit of anyone in- terested in the proceedings.

That Thanksgiving proclamation by Mayor Jake Belin on page one is the combined brain child of City Clerk Ben Dickens, Jr., and City Attorney Cecil G. Costin Jr., Seems there were no ready-written proc- lamations available, so these two got their heads together and com- posed the masterpiece. ... Cecil would write a paragraph and then Ben would take over. ... Not a bad job at all, at all Well, W. W.
