PORT ST. JOE A' Progressive Community With a Modern, Progressive Weekly Newspaper THE STAR THE STAR Is Devoted To the Con- tinued Development of I 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 24, 1950 NUMBER 9 Apalachicola Dove Sharks Drop Game Makes Long Flight To Bonifay 52-13 Hunters and Bird Watchers Soon Last Game of Season Set for To- May See Red Birds In Addi- night At Centennial Field tion To Oranges Ones With Altha High One of the first discoveries made With three of the Sharks regulars by the state game and fresh water out of the game due to injuries, the fish commission as a result of its dove banding and dyeing program is that a mourning dove can fly an average of 90 miles a day and prob- ably more. One of the 157 doves captured at Apalachicola and released after be- ing banded and dyed orange was shot in Miami six days later. The dove was sighted on lower Mate- cumbe Key, south of Miami, 450 miles from where it was released. A biologist for the commission said the doves "have undoubtedly flown much farther than the airline miles between the releasing spot and the area of report, what with feeding and erratic flying." Other "flying oranges," which are a part of a mysterious flight of doves which appear annually at Ap- alachicola about.October 1 and ,then disappear within two weeks, have been sighted in Port St. Joe, Bris- tol and Blountstown. One hunter reported he had shot a bird that looked like a dove but was colored yellow, and wanted to know if he could cross-breed a yel- low dove with a yellow canary. The answer by the commission biologist was "no." Other observers have confused the doves with every type of bird up to and, including "Afri- can rainbow pigeons." If orange doves were a shock to -hunters and bird-watchers, wait un- til next week. The game commis- sion is going to band 200 more of the birds, color them red and turn them loose in South Florida to /check on the northern migration / habits. The idea of turning the orange ,doves loose near Apalachicola was to find out why they sfow up there ,early in the season and leave after :a few days and to learn where 'they go. iCrippled Children's Clinic Scheduled for December 1 The crippled children's clinic will be held next Friday, December 1, at the Bay county health depart- ment in Panama City. Patients who are to attend the clinic for their checkup examina- tions, and need transportation,, are asked to contact the Gulf county health department.

Neither team scored in the first quarter, but in the second period the Bonifay eleven chalked up three touchdowns to lead 20-0. The visitors scored twice more in the third quarter to bring the score to 34-0. Bonifay scored again in the final quarter, and on the kickoff Donald Parker took the ball and ran 85 yards for St. Joe's first counter. Bonifay proceeded to do the same stunt on the St. Joe kickoff. Two more touchdowns were made be- fore the final gun when Bonifay scored on an end around play and St. Joe marked up another when Phil Chatham passed to Raymond Lawrence for a score. The Sharks tried an aerial attack on the invaders, tossing 32 passes and completing 12. Bonifay com- pleted 7 of 12 aerials. Final game of the season will be (Continued on page 10) Xmas Seal Returns Already Coming In Chairman Saunders Is Enthusiastic Over Quick Response of County Residents Returns from the Christmas Seals mailed out Monday by the Gulf County Tuberculosis and Health As- sociation are already coming in, and Seal Sale Chairman Harry Saun- ders states that apparently a large number of people acknowledged by return mail the seals they received. "This wonderful response to our appeal in the first few days of the seal sale gives me great hope for the drive this year," said Saunders. "The past few years we have fallen below our goal. However, the peo- ple of Gulf county have always been generous, and their generosity indi- cates their expressed approval of the work of the Gulf County Tuber- culosis and Health Association." "Those who have already made their returns have automatically ex- pressed their thanks in this Thanks- giving season for the valuable gift of health, and indicated at the same time, through their support of the tuberculosis association, that they want to retain that health. "In behalf of the association. I wish to thank publicly, through the columns of The Star, all those who have given such a prompt response to our appeal."

The city dads also passed an or- dinance amending a previous or- dinance which sets the cost of wholesale beer and wine dealers' licenses at $100. This was done to confirm to a state law. The previous cost for these licenses had been set at $200. Commissioner Franklin Chandler brought to the attention of the com- mission the fact that the fire trucks are being blocked by traffic on the streets when answering calls to fires and asked if something could be done about the matter. Chief of Police Buck Griffin was ordered to arrest those drivers of cars who failed to pull to the side of the road when the fire truck passed.

Our Country Right or Wrong A BIG FUSS OVER A SMALL BEEhR (Reprinted from Thic Southcni Chiurcinun)ii One of the great drawbacks of modern Chris- tianity is the consecration of well-meaning people to dubious causes and their effort to apply the great power of the Christian churches to trivial -if not irrelevant ends. It is somewhat like shoot- ing mice with a cannon. We have in mind the fierce campaign being waged bv certain do-gooders to cut off the ration .of one small can of warm beer issued each day to the troops in Korea. The purpose of such a prohibition, we understand, is to keep our boys pure and unsullied and out of the clutches of the liquor barons. The idea seems to be: Where there is no beer there is no sin. Just how silly can people get? We fail to see how moral regeneration will come in foxholes by keeping beer out.

Why hunt mice when tigers are on the prowl? This brings us to a very serious matter. Today, when Christianity has been accused of being utterly irrelevant, this pious anti-beer campaign must seem to a soldier under fire the supreme irrelvancy as well as a major irritation. WVe are not at all persuaded that he will be won to Christ by snatching away his beer in the name of Christ. If he comes to think of Christianity as a thing of piddling rules and prohibitions, we cannot blame him for wanting none of it, and must not be too surprised to find that he is regularly absent from church when he comes home. He needs a life- giving faith in the Lord Jesus and not this miser- able caricature which is palmed off on him as the Christian faith. VERSATILE? MAN, WE HAVE TO BE! Harlee Branch, newly-appointed editor of the Panama City News-Herald, seems rather startled over the fact that the editor of The Star is cap- able of carrying on all operations in connection with putting out a weekly newspaper. Devoting his lead editorial in the issue of No- vember 14 to this matter under the heading: Editor Smith's Versatility, he says: Not in/frquently one comNes across Ca nctspla- per man who at one an/d the same time is a good editor, a capable business nmanaer and a pass- able orator, but seldom, if ever, does one encoun- ter the ccrsatiiity possesse-0 d by W.

We appreciate Mr. Branch's compliments, but must remark that apparently he has had very little, if anything to do with issuing a country weekly, though, like most editors of the larger papers, he probably has an ambition to own and edit one at some time.

I had written a column for which in Russia I could have been banished to hard labor in Siberia or shot at sunrise, and I realized that in this country I would probably have been "hated to pieces" by certain political cliques because of it, but, thank God, this is still a republic and freedom of expression is permissible. As a believer in democracy, free- dom and the rights of the indi- vidual, I always have and always will resent the efforts of any sel- fish group of political poo-bahs and petty peanut puppeteers to rule and regulate the lives and actions of freeborn citizens. S Not long ago I had my say re- garding the actions of an auto- cratic milk commission in forcing the people of this state to knuckle down to its rulings and pay thru the nose for milk despite the fact that honest dairymen frankly admit that their demand is unjustified and without reason. With the action of the barbers' sanitary commission in throwing out the old shaving mug and brush as well as hair duster, I felt com- pelled to train my guns on the bar- ber board, which I thought was feeling its oats and had come forth with a lot of silly, dumb and asinine edicts nauseating to any intelligent citizen. Then one of the members of the board changes his mind and the old brush and mug were saved by a vote of two to one. Earlier the pub- lic prints heralded the amazing in- formation that our barber board by power and authority granted it by a beneficent legislature had ruled that from now on out you and I could no longer enjoy the comfort and pleasure of the old-fashioned lather and shaving brush, but, should we enter a barber shop and find ourselves so fortunate as to be "next," must allow our barber to NOTICE OF FICTITIOUS NAME Notice is hereby given that pursuant to Chapter 20953.

Looks like somebody got after the board, for out of the clear blue Florida sky one of said board mem- bers exercised the right to change his mind and did so.

STA, P T S E U Ervin Rules Turkey Shoots To Be Illegal; Walker Okehs 'Em Doubts If They Have Serious Ef- fect On Public Morals, But Must Back Up Governor's Orders Since this article was set in type, Judge May Walker of Tal- lahassee ruled that turkey shoots of the old-fashioned variety are strictly a game of skill and, there- fore legal. (Our Scotch blood wouldn't let us dump this type and set a new story.) Governor Fuller Warren is going to keep on with his anti-gambling crusade until the populace rises up in wrath and rides him out of of- fice on a rail. Latest ban issued by Attorney General Dick Ervin is that the tur- key shoots, held for lo, these many years about this time of year, are illegal, and that if you want a tur- key for Thanksgiving or Christmas you'll have to buy, beg or steal it, but you can't win it at a turkey shoot. Ervin made the ruling at the re- quest of C. L. Clark, one ,of Gover- nor Warren's aides. Ervin said that a turkey shoot is gambling because "only one person can possibly win a prize; each contestant is wager- ing against the entrance fees of his competitor." The attorney general conceded turkey shoots have been permitted for years, and said he doubted if they had a serious effect on public morals. "However," he said, "if we departed from legal principles in this instance, it would simply be a surrender of our legal views to ac- cord withpopular feeling and would, In our opinion, be .inconsistent with the prevailing definition of what constitutes gambling or betting." In commenting on this matter, the Washington County News last week said: "Do away with turkey shoots? Why that is almost like do- ing away with Thanksgiving or most any other good old Ameriican custom, which has by practice and -participation become a part of our -way of life in these United States. How else could some of the more skillful get their turkey for Thanks- giving-and what would Thanksgiv- ing be without a turkey, anyway?" Steel Genius Captain William R. Jones was the outstanding production genius of the early bessemer steel era. Very early in his steelmaking car- eer he nearly doubled previous rec- ords with similar equipment, and continued to produce what were then considered astounding ton- nages of steel. DO AWAY WITH BARBER (Continued from page 5) sure machine to take the place of the old-fashioned duster. I don't know how many barber shops there are in Florida, but if you lay them end to end as the statisticians do, I am inclined to be- lieve that there would be quite a few. Now, if every barber shelled out 50 smackers for a newfangled machine simply because some state sanctioned board said he must "or else," it could run into a whole heluva lot of money in a very. very short time. Florida needs a barber board just about as much as it needs a Hada- col board or a rat-trap board. The only possible excuse for its exist- ence is from the standpoint of sani- tation, and we have a very able and efficient state board of health that is well qualified and equipped to take care of this particular feature. The people of Florida never asked for a barber board, they never asked for a dry cleaning and laundry board, or a milk commission, or a state board of optometry, or any of the other regulatory boards and commissions that have been in- flicted upon them with no purpose or reason other than to serve the 15 GALLONS GAS Whatever your taste, you are sure to find a card that says "Merry Christmas" just the way you want to say it-in our large collection of Hallmark Cards in Cello-Pacs.

JOE, GULF COUNTY, FLORIDA FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 1950 ~nb PAEEGTrCSAPR T Z.GUFCUT OEBR2,15 Octopussies are coming in cans today-and right out of the ocean. Ye Ed was fishing off the mu- nicipal dock Thursday afternoon af- ter getting out the rag, when we started to haul in our line to check the bait. It came in alright, but ex- ceeding slow, and when the hook appeared at the surface it appar- ently was attached to a tin can .... We were the recipient of a flock of guffaws from a group of spectators and fishermen, Henry Geddie re- marking loudly: "Now you've got something to put in The Star." . We could see into the. can as we pulled it in, and we replied: "We sure have-there's an octopus in- side the can." These varmints like to hide in holes in the rocks, and this fellow, not having a rocky hole to hide in. had taken up his residence inside the can. Appar- ently we had dragged our bait in front of him and lie had reached out and grabbed it, thinking it a fish or snail, probably. After he had been thoroughly examined by everyone, including a number of colored dock hands who wouldn't come very close, Mr. Octopus was thrown back into the bay-minus his can. We'd say offhand he measured about 16 inches across. . Having partaken of octopus years ago in San Francisco's China- town and finding it quite palatable, we contemplated for a moment tak- ing the critter home to be prepared ,by our wife for dinner, but we knew just about what her reaction would be if we presented her with the delectable morsel: "E-e-e-yah!" We see that the Chattahoochee News has a new editor in the per- son of Em'bry Edwards, and that he is putting "decks" on his page one lead stories. Now if he will get away 'from that "flush left"'head (which has been developed by head- writers who are too lazy to figure out a "staggered head" similar to those in The Star) The News will begin to look like a real country weekly (which it is, and a good one) and not like a would-be daily. Mark up another quick sale for Star Classified Ads or perhaps it should go to the Stardust column. . Last week W. W. Barrier placed a class ad to sell his '46 Oldsmo- bile, and we also took it up in this column. He came in Monday, congratulated us on the power of Star advertising, paid his 30 cents and told us his troubles. Seems he and his family walked during most of the war years, W. W. hav- ing sold his car. Then he got an- other, drove it awhile, and sold it, much to the dismay of Mrs. W. W. and the kids. Then he picked up this Olds a short time back, recon- ditioned it, and let 'er go. "My wife says she's tired of walking and rid- ing in wrecks, so I've got my order In for a new Pontiac" (naturally, he's Mr. Pontiac in St. Joe). . He went on to inform us that the new car will be in his wife's name. . "She just don't trust me no more," moaned W. W. Mrs. W. B. Golden believes she is going to have to subscribe to The Star. Her little son said that sometimes he liked to eat at home instead of at the school lunchroom because at times he didn't care for the school menu. He pointed out that other kids knew from The Star, which publishes the menu for the week, just what they were go- ing to get at school, and if they didn't like it, they could go home at .noon. -----+---- Pretty Parsnip Sweet potatoes, carrots or par- snips can be grown in water as a house plant.

Broadway, says there just aren't enough words in the English lan- guage to praise HADACOL cor- rectly. He says he knows most folks don't realize what a change' HADACOL can make in their life if their systems are deficient in. Vitamins B', B2, Iron and Niacin- Here is Mr. Goldsmith's state- ment: "Before I started taking HADA- COL I was run down and. nervous - and had a hard time sleeping nights. With my work in the store I have to spend sometimes 14 hours- a day on my feet. Since I am in the retail business I saw how many folks were asking for HADACOL. so I decided to try it myself. After the first couple of bottles I could tell a definite improvement. Now I have all the pep and energy in the* world, my nerves are steady as ever and I really do get a good night's rest. HADACOL is won- derful-I .not only take it, but recommend it to all my customers.. I praise the day Senator Dudley J. LeBlanc put HADACOL on the market." HADACOL Is So Different Thousands 'are benefiting from HADACOL ... whose systems lack Vitar.ins B,, B;, Iron and Niacin. HADACOL is so wonderful be- cause HADACOL helps build up the hemoglobin content of your blood (when Iron is needed) to carry these great Vitamins and Minerals to every body organ- to every part of the body. Give remarkable HADACOL a chance and if you don't feel better -with the first few bottles you take - you get your money back. Only $1.25 for Trial Size; Large Family or Hospital Size, $3.50.
