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.

oniity .Blue Devils ran wild here
last Friday night at Centennial
Field and chalked up a 52-13 win
over Port St. Joe.
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.

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."

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. W e fear
that exhausted, muddy, flea-bitten, profine GIs,
Ibrutalized:z b' lighting lad lyi to eIp alive

distance ii'itersi. in' his morals.
Is there some idea that he Ki.., o- of C,:
comes in wl-lhen beer is cast outit If people wan
to do something to help meni in fioxholes and all
our comrades on earth, why inot tget busy fight-
ing against the causes of war and making con-
:stant intercession to Anlmiguhty God for delier-
ance "from all blindness of heart; from pride,
vainglory and hypocrisy; from envy. hatred and
malice and all uncharitablenesst ? 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-

the St. Jo' Star.

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. If he should realize this
ambition, he will soon find that he has to know

Do Away With


the State Barber


Board, Says Kay


State Board of Health Well
Qualified To Carry On
Such Duties

By RUSSELL KAY
I certainly got all het up at the
action of the barber's sanitary com-
mission. in outlawing the old shav-
ing mug and brush. 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

anoint our mug with a so-called
"latherizer" and with his bare hand
work it into the skin. I was really
tuned up.
Furthermore, under their original
edict, our barber could no longer
whisk the loose hairs from about
our neck with the old-fashioned
neck duster. Under the earlier rul-
ing the barber would have had to
brush off the neck with a folded
towel or he could have purchased
an air pressure device which would
have blown said hairs to kingdom
come.
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. The result
was that the law stood as it was
before this action.
Personally, I like old-fashioned
lather and the sterilized shaving
brush, and I see no objection what-

neck with a regulation feather

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

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.

Mr. Dan Goldsmith, 3024' Cur-
ron Road, Louisville, Ky., owner of
Coogla Cut Rate Store at 935 West.
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. If your
druggist does not have HADACOL,
order it direct from The LeBlanc
Corporation, Lafayette, Louisiana..
