Million Dollar


Polio Fund Is


Aim for State


Gulf County Chairman T.G.
Frary Hopes Goal Here
Can Be 'Upped'

One million dollars to combat
polio is the goal that has been sug-
gested for Florida for the 1951
March of Dimes campaign.
Dr. J. Hillis Miller, state March
of Dimes president, thinks Florida
should raise the million dollars
during the 1951 campaign and is
asking county workers throughout
the state to begin their preliminary
plans for the campaign based on
this assumption.
Here in Gulf county, Chairman T.
G. Frary pointed to the $685.41
raised during the 1950 campaign
and expressed the belief that the:
goal could be "upped" for the 1951
campaign. The per capital donations
in the county' were nine cents, in-
dicating the average citizen has a
keen interest in the campaign.
Dr. Miller, who is serving his sec-
ond term as state March of Dimes
chairman, feels keenly about Flor-
ida's obligation to meet the million
dollar goal. "Although we haven't
had a major epidemic in the state
foi several years now, it is my be-
lief that we should raise the funds

New Chevrolets To

Be Viewed Tomorrow

New Models Have Many Changes
and Improvements Over
'50 Line

The editor of The Star has been
privileged to get a preview of the
1951 Chevrolets to be presented to
the' public tomorrow at the Garra-
way Chevrolet Company showroom,
and they are indeed something to
look at with their long, sleek beauty
and chromium trim.
Charlie Garraway was emoting
all over the place about his new
charges. "Notice the beautiful new
lines of 'em," he said. "That's a
body by Fisher-exclusive with us
in the low-priced field. And see this
new massive front grille, the smart
parking lights and these big, strong
bumper guards which blend to give
that 'big car' look!
"And come around here. As you
walk along the: side, get the effect
of the car's new 'motion styling.'
Right from the hood ornament to
the beauty and protection of the
fender and door molding-and the
rear bumpers, this car is as smart
as tomorrow."
Charlie pointed out to us the new
high-crown fenders, which make it
look almost like a Cadillac from
the rear, and the tail lights which
mark the width of the car for

Rumors Crcul ate 000

Gube!'oriad RAre

Looks Like Big Field Comin3 Out,
With Possibly A Number of
Dark Horses In Offing

Rumors are cropping up thick and
fast lately as to who will run for
governor next election and who will
not.
Leading candidate is'forn16i con-
gressnian J. Hardin P etesaon who
has 4 number of obvious, political
assets. He established an enviable
record while serving in congress
and has an unusually large state-
wide acquaintance. He has shown
in the past that he can make a vig-
orous and effective campaign, and
his down-to-earth qualities would
make him run well in the state's
rural areas.
Millard Caldwell was at the top
of the list for some time, but now
is out of the rrinning, having ac-
cepted the job of civilian defense
administrator at the request of
President Truman. That job prob-
ably will carry a lot less headaches
than that of governor.
State Comptroller C. M. Gay prob-
ably will be an entry, now that
Caldwell is out, and he will be a
formidable candidate if he does en-
ter the lists.
Dan McCarty, runnerup in 1948,
probably comes closer to being an
avowed candidate than any of the

New Pontiacs Go On

Barrier-Wimberly To Present 1951
Silver Anniversary
Models

With vibrant new styling, the
1951 Silver Anniversary Pontiacs
will purr into public view tomorrow
in Port St. Joe at the Barrier-Wim-
berly Pontiac Company. They fea-
ture 27 styling innovations and 16
mechanical improvements.
Presenting the 1951 line-mark-
ing Pontiac's 25th year as a stellar
performer on the automotive stage
-W. W. Barrier said: "Our Silver
Anniversary models are strikingly
beautiful symbols of a quarter cen-
tury of quality manufacture. We be-
lieve the 1951 Pontiac is the most
attractive, best performing Pontiac
ever produced. Public acceptance
of Pontiac last year broke every
existing record. It is likely that the
1951 models will match that popu-
larity or surpass it."
With 15 models, Barrier points
out, Pontiac offers its customers
an extremely wide choice.

Our Country ." Right or Wrong

WE'RE AT WAR, BUT WE'RE NOT
The editor of The' Star doesn't set himself up
as a military strategist, but it is almost impossible
to exaggerate the potential seriousness of our
military involvement with the Chinese Com-
munists. The fact that we are involved is. one
more example of mistaken guessing by top mili-
tary men and diplomats.
It has been reliably reported that our troops
were halted briefly at the 38th parallel because
of the danger that the Chinese might move if we
went on toward the Manchurian-Korean border.
Then, it is said, the leaders, including General
MacArthur, told Washington that in their esti-
mation Red China would not act. The troops
went forward-as, indeed, they had to if North
Korean military force was to be destroyed. But
the experts were wrong, and the Red forces
thronged across the border while Joe Stalin sat
back in the kremlin and laughed up his sleeve.
We are not formally at;war with China (or at


least we weren't Tuesday when this was written)
-or with anyone else. But in these days it is cer-
tainly difficult to decide what is war and what
is not war. The day of declarations of war be-
fore the shooting started seems to have ended.
And the fact remains that Americans and Chi-
nese are killing and wounding each other.

NO STATE TAX INCREASES
Governor Warren is on firm ground in declar-
ing against any increase in state taxation for the
coming biennium.
He makes the incontrovertible point that fed-
eral taxes are going to rise higher and higher
from now on. These will take a larger and larger
"bite" out of the incomes of the people. "To this
additional federal tax burden," Governor War-
ren says, "there certainly should not be added
more state taxes." He insists that state agencies
do not ask for larger budgets for the two-year
period beginning July 1, 1951.
When the present sales tax was adopted it was
contended that it would provide ample revenue
for all state purposes; but, as is almost invariably
the case, when the public revenues are increased,
public expenditures are also increased; hence the
constant demand for more revenue.
We hope Gov'ernor Warren will be able to im-
press the coming legislature with the wisdom of
his stand; but this is extremely doubtful. Already
the tax-raisers are busy preparing proposals to
extract more money from the people.-Tampa
Tribune.

It will be New Year's resolution time almost
before we know it.

YE ED'S COMMENTS

Every once in awhile we hear
some fellow or other put out a load
of verbal venom about how the du-
Ponts (meaning the owners of the
.-St. Joe Paper Mill) are taking over
the country in this neck of the
woods-buying up all the land-not
letting people haul wood off of it-
fencing their private roads to pre-
vent free access to these vast
bodies of land-which they have al-
ways hauled wood from, hunted and
made free with these properties as
if they owned it, etc., etc .... What
a tragedy! Before the duPonts took
over these great bodies of land, no-
body wanted any part of paying
taxes for such low, untillable
swamps (a lot of it, anyway) but
now they raise a howl because a
great corporation saw ahead and
bought the lands which were con-
sidered for several lifetimes to be
worth nothing more than to hold
the earth together. These
gripers should have lived in Gulf
county about 25 years ago, and
less, when the rank-and-file of the
citizens ate soup-just holding on
to see what else could happen. A
dollar was a mighty big piece of
money in those days; a full-fledged
carpenter was glad to get paid two
dollars a day, and common labor
rated from fifty cents to a dollar.
Farm help was $10 to $15 and board
a month. Printers thought $15 a
week was a fair wage. The Breeze,
back in those days. raked in the
stupendous sum of $60.00 a month,
gross! But some of us old-timers
are not sorry the duPonts came
along. The St. Joe Paper Mill


brought prosperity to our county,
and we give them full credit-this
company has made our section what
it is. Wages are good in every line;
jobs are plentiful; no one has to
catch fish or go hungry any more;
you can hardly find a family which
has not an automobile or truck, and
sometimes more than one motor-
ized vehicle. Outboard motors have
superceded the old-fashioned- 'oar
for propelling boats any distance.
Yes, let's cuss the duPonts.
They brought this prosperity to our
section-they made two blades of
grass grow where none was grow-
ing before they bought up the old
worthless land to get the few scat-
tering pine trees, and turned our
county into a beehive of industry,
making everybody prosperous who
willhwork. And don't think for
a minute that the Breeze has had
any inside track with the duPonts
-we haven't. Their mill does not
even give us a chance to bid on
their job printing. They subscribe
t for the paper, and that is all-but
we are honest enough to give credit
where credit is due-r-and it just
makes us sick to hear some little
two-by-four business man or ordi-
nary citizen gripe about .how the
duPonts are overriding the "deer
peepul" by using good business
judgment in building a great em-
pire here where we Florida crack-
ers had the same opportunity, but
no money (and no vision, either),
and the men at the head of the St.
Joe Paper Mill did have. and are
cashing in on their great venture-
and we poor simps who struggled
for years here, are getting our part
without too great effort.

Improvement and Prosperity
of This Section
The G'ulf-Caloun-Lbilr:y Farm_

to become a member, according to
C. F. Brunner of Wewahitchka, di-

All the preliminary work has been
accomplished, says Brunner, a state


charter has been obtained, a con-

directors have been elected for 1951.
"This co-op was organized by
farmers who are vitally interested
in the improvement and prosperity
of this section of Florida," says
Brunner. "It is now ready to func-

HENRY J JOINS LOW PRICED AUTO MARKET


AS FIRST NEW ENTRY IN QUARTER-CENTURY


WILLOW RUN, Mich., Dec. 8-
(Special to The Star)-Low initial
cost plus great operating economy
and exceptional performance are
the 1-2-3 features of the all-new
Henry J. sedan models which went
on display last week at Kaiser-Fra-
zer dealerships across the country,
including the M. G. Lewis & Sons
Garage at Port St. Joe, Fla.
Buyers have a choice of the four-
cylinder Henry J and the Henry J
DeLuxe, six-cylinnder model offer-
ing greater styling refinements.
Both engines are. new high-com-
pression "Kaiser Supersonic" L-
head types.
Edgar F. Kaiser, K-F president,
says prices are the lowest in Amer-
ica for a full size sedan, thus mark-
ing the first full scale new compe-
tition in the low priced auto mar-
ket in nearly a quarter century.
Basically, it is the car that
Henry J. Kaiser, board chairman,
envisioned when Kaiser-Frazer was
formed in 1945. Developed on the
basis of postwar engineering ad-
vances, the Henry J models profited
from prior years of experimenta-
tion with 50 prototypes built under
Mr. Kaiser's personal direction.
Along with specifications and
road test results, the company is-
sued an open challenge to the pub-


lic to compare Henry J highway
and traffic performance, and riding
comfort with other makes deliver-
ing for hundreds of dollars more.
The company reported that in
the most extensive pre-marketing
tests ever given a new automobile,
the Henry J demonstrated its abil-
ity to leap from zero to 50 miles
an hour in 10 seconds, and to 60
in 14 seconds.
An impartial report on remark-
able operating economy was fur-
nished early last month when the
six-cylinder model delivered 34
miles to the gallon in gasoline mile-
age tests conducted by the Ameri-
can Automobile Association. The
tests, held on the recently opened
New Hampshire Turnpike, were su-
jervised by David L. Gundry of the
certified test committee of the
AAA.
The new model provides the larg-
est luggage capacity of any passen-
ger sedan. It offers a maximum
cargo area of 50.3 cubic feet which
is achieved through a utility fea-
ture. which allows the rear seat
back to be folded forward and an-
chored is place as part of the trunk
floor. The convenience of the fold-
ing seat feature eliminates need for
the traditional rear trunk opening.
The 1744-inch overall length of
the Henry J, together with an over-


all width of 70 inches, provides spa-
cious seating room for five adult
passengers, with ample head room
and leg room for six-footers.
On 59% inches height, a factor
which enabled K-F engineers to
achieve an exceptionally low cen-
ter of gravity, the Henry J is the
lowest full size American sedan.
Yet a full road clearance of 7%
inches is maintained.
Both Henry J sedan models are
available with overdrive.
Discussing the new models, the
elder Kaiser said, "Early in our
low-priced car study we came to
the conclusion that the American
public doesn't want a 'small' car
but rather one of conventional size
with ample power and distinctive
pride-of-ownership styling.
"We have achieved such an auto-
mobile with new standards of value,
economy, performance and appear-
ance. Presenting this car is the re-
alization of the proudest ambition
of my life."
Arrival of the Henry J models
marks K-F's first challenge in the
low priced field. Including them,
the company is now nearing pro-
duction of its first half-million cars.
Popular and medium priced models
in the 1951 Kaiser and Frazer lines
have been in production since last
, spring. adv.

Rabies Protection
* Officials of the United States pub-

ies have produced satisfactory evi-
dence that annual vaccination of
dogs is an effective means of con-
trolling rabies in animals and hu-
man beings.
Owners who are unable to keep
their pets in strict confinement
during rabies outbreaks and for a
period of six months afterward are
advised to protect them by vacci-
nation.
The health service recommends
that vaccination be used in con-
junction with licensing, quarran-

Budget Requests of State
Agencies On the Upgrade

Minor skirmishes in the conminHI
legislative fight.,over finances were
shaping up this week as state agen-
cies sent in their first budet re-
quests for cabinet perusal. Some
departments held the line; others
went as much as 100 per cent over
amounts needed for the 1950-51 op-
erations.
The state TB board, faced with
operating three new hospitals for
the tubercular, called for $5,992,900
to run institutions at Tampa, Or-
lando, Marianna, Lantana and Tal-
lahassee. The state advertising com-
mission asked for $1,000,000 instead
of $500,000.

Mail Early, Urge of
Postmaster Drake

Postmaster H. A. Drake urges
everyone to begin Christmas mailing
right now in order to avert the last-
minute rush that always accom-
panies the Yule season (not that
his request has much effect, since
there are always a lot of slow-
pokes).
H. A. also recommends sending
Christmas cards by first class mail.
This way, he said, cards wrongly
addressed can be forwarded on to
the correct address, or at least re-
turned to the sender "rather than
wind up in the wastebasket." Cards
should be mailed by December 12
in order to insure delivery before
Christmas.
Postmaster Drake. also urges pa-
trons to place return addresses on
all letters, cards and packages.


Four More Counties Join
In Forest Fire Protection

Florida is extending a mantle of
green over four more counties with
fire protection for their forest
lands. The counties, Manatee, Sara-
sota, Seminole and Union, voted
last month to enter into co-opera-
tive agreements with the state for-
est service.
These, in effect, will add 700,000
acres to controlled lands and make
a total of 13,250,000-more than
half the area of the state.

the assets that carried him to the
finals in '48.
Two others mentioned are state
senators LeRoy Collins of Tallahas-
see and Wallace Sturgis of Ocala,
the latter being president-designate
of the 1951 senate.
Others having a hankering to set
in the governor's chair are Perry
Murray of Frostproof, speaker of
the house; Newman C. Brackin of
Crestview, senate president; Sen-
ator Henry S. Bayard of St. Peters-
burg; Harold Colee of Jacksonville,
executive vice-president of the:state
chamber of commerce, and Circuit
Judge E. Holt 6f Miami.

He pointed out a flock of other
features, inside and out, but was
most enthusiastic over the big, new
brakes which are 11 inches in di-
ameter, offering greater braking
surface, greater effectiveness and
smoother operation.
Yep, we urge everyone to have a
look at this new line. We, person-
ally, would like to own one of 'em,
but we have but some 18,000 miles

a couple more year's use in it as

More than 100 different kinds of
coffee are currently bought and
sold in the United States, which is
the greatest coffee consuming na-
tion in the world. Last year the
United States drank as much as all

LARGE NUMBER OF DEER
KILLED AT EGLIN FIELD

A report from Eglin Field states
that 256 white-tail deer were killed
there during the first week of con-
trolled hunting in the area ending
December 1. Of this number, 140
