* PORT ST. JOE A Progressive Community With a I Modern, Progressive Weekly Newspaper __ THE THE STAR Is Devoted To the Con- tinued Development of Port St. Jo." and Gulf County ! "Port St. Joe -The Outlet Port for the Apalachicola-Chattahoochee Valley" VOLUME XIV PORT ST. JOE, FLORIDA, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 8, 1950 NUMBER 11 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 (Continuqd. on page 6) 'Bolts and Nuts' To Be Staged Tonight Three-Act Play Scheduled By Ju- nior Class Promises To Be Good Entertainment The junior class of the local high school tonight will present its an- nual class play "Bolts and Nuts," a hilarious three-act comedy by Jay Tobias that promises an evening of good entertainment for those who see it.

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.

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 (Continued on page 12) Garden CIob To Again Make Xmas Awards For Best Outdoor Decorations; Also Have Two 'Holiday Houses' Will Last year's contest for the most Miss Prunella Figg_.......June Smith attractive outdoor Christmas. dec- Cadwallader Clippy....Bobby Gibson orations as seen from the street Wilbur Glossip Lamar Freeman Mrs. Gertie Glossip......--..Doris Rich Jack Gordon... -. -- David Freeman The play takes place in an old mansion which has been turned into a mental sanitarium by Re- becca Bolt.

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 (Continued on page 12) New Pontiacs Go On Display Tomorrow 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.

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.

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.

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.

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. THE STAR, PORT ST.

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.
