The move for abandonment had been made' by Commissioner Josh. Miller. a property owner in Oak Grove, and after hearing the pe- tion he-moved that the board dis- miss the pettiion, which motion was acceded to unanimously by the other four members of the board: Among other matters taken" up by the commissioners was the pur- chase of a 2%-ton or larger truck for the purposeof moving 'the new county tractor from place to place, and also the purchase of a half-ton truck.

Closed Season On GULF COUNTY CIVIL DEFENSE GROUP Mullet Is in Effect PREPARING FOR ANY EMERGENCIES Dealers Must Dispose of Stock On - Hand By Tomorrow; Watch To Be Kept for "Mullet!eggers" State Supervisor of Conservation George Vashis warned fishermen and dealers this week that this year's statewide closed mullet sea- son would be enforced "more rigidly than ever." The 40-day closed season went into effect at midnight last Sunday. Under a five-day grace provision dealers have until tomorrow mid- night to dispose of stocks on hand. After that time no fresh or fresh- salted mullet can be possessed or sold until the open season on Jan- uary 20. Vathis said all dealers, retail and wholesale alike, will be checked regularly_ beginning next Monday. A battery of conservation agents, he said, will be stationed on all highways leading out of the state to inspect trucks for "bootleg" fish. Only mullet that can be handled at all are those caught and frozen before the season closed. Whole- salers *or retailers dealing in frozen mullet must report the quantities of mulletffrozen prior to the closed season. This Is the fourth year the state- wide closed season'on the popular Florida food fish has been in effect. 4-K Thieves Make Large Haul Of Tires At St. Joe Motor The Andersons, Vic and Otto, when they opened for business Sat- urday morning at the St. Joe Mo- tor Company, were considerably startled, not to mention nonplussed, to find that a thief or thieves had broken into the retread department, of the establishment and made off with 27 tires, car and truck, with an estimated value of about $350. Chief of Police Buck Griffin and his able assistants took up the trail and recovered 15 of the tires, which had been hidden in the brush at, various points from the First Bap- tist Church on First Street almost to the oil dock. The remaining 12 tires had not been recovered up to yesterday, but Chief Griffin has the serial num- bers and states that he has a pretty good idea as to who took them.

Tapper Company, Inc., for a road job in Jackson county. The call was for grading and sur- facing and constructing a bridge on Road S-167 five miles southwest- ward from Road 276. Bid of the Bea- con Supply Co. was $118,677. Representatives Attend Con- ference Held Sunday in Tallahassee Headed by Ben Dickens Jr., di- rector of the Gulf county defense council, a delegation of 15 mem- bers of the council went to Talla- hassee Sunday at the request of- Col. R. G. Howie, state civil defense director, to learn what must be done to set the state network into operation. Others in there party were Silas Stone, H. C. Brown, Howard McKinnon, Durel Brigman, Frank Chandler, John Kramer and Rev Lee Graham, all of this city; Jack Connell, 'Thomas McDaniel, C. F. Brunner, Jim Gamboa, Mrs. Ruby Gilbert, Mrs. Preston and George Core, of Wewahitchka. Colonel Howie talked for more than at hour to the representatives present from nine Northwest Flor-- ida counties, during which he said that "the situation is serious." "Probably no program ever at- tempted by the civil governments of this country could be more de- pendent for its success upon mu- tual co-operation and understand- ing," said Col. Howie. "Witlout it, civil defense cannot possibly suc- ceed. Some of the remarks I am about to make may seem rather blunt and cold-blooded. They are not directed to you,_ cause your presence here indicates your inter- est, but rather through you to-those who fail to appreciate the serious- ness of the situation. "Public opinion, misguided by lack of understanding of America's position in the modern world, not o nly disbanded but shamefully wrecked in 1945 and 1946 the finest armed force the world has ever seen; and then and there paved the way toward the precarious position in which we find ourselves today. "We must not permit ourselves to blow hot and cold with each lull in this international crisis, for there probably will be 'Koreas' in many parts of the world. It is part of the strategy of any group seeking world domination to have their sat- elites do at least the initial fight- ing for them. In my opinion, we cannot afford to straddle this issue. We must meet it head on. Vascillation will add nothing to the program. (Continued on page 10) City Police Force Gets New Winter Regalia The Port St. Joe police force this week blossomed out in brand new blue winter uniforms, complete with brass buttons, cap and Sam Browne belt.

His blast at the Washington Post writer who criticised his daughter's singing is his latest out- burst. Recently he blew his top over what he called the "propaganda" of the Marine Corps, comparing it to that of Joe Stalin. Before that came the famous "s. o. b." incident with Drew Pearson. Seems to us these incidents are very revealing as to Harry's true character. If he flys off the handle over trivial incidents such as these, won't he be likely to do the same thing in cases involv- ing the welfare of the nation?

DECEMBER 15, 19 STARDUST and MOONSHINE (Reprinted by request) Have you noticed that handsome Christmas tree in the office win- dow of The Star building? .. You have?

"And now," quoth Editor ill', "t will show you the proper way to decorate a Christmas tree." He moved a stepladder as near to the tree as the lower spreading branches would permit. He then climbed to the top step, and, with the glittering peak bahiflel in hand hoped to fasten the same o'n tlhe very tiptop of the evergreen. The ladder slipped on the concrete floor and Editor Bill, as safe as a baby in a crib, was deposited in the branches of the tree. He was a man completely immersed in his work. "You will note;" said the great tree decorator, as he lanmbered froi' his resting plae4. thlb',- tipplig the tree over, "that I did not break this baible!" Reo surveyed the scene. .... "And you will also note that by placing. the tree on its ada, as I wisely concluded to do, I can *ow fasten the decoration with ease and safety." The gadget, which was made of thin glass, was properly fastened to' the tip of the tree, which Editor Bill then essayed to place in an up- right position. There was a pop when the ornament hit the ceiling and the editor was showered with fine glass. "I have decided," said our hero, "that that decoration was not ap- propriate. I shall secure another. Now if this tree were only on a re- evolving stand-which I shall have on the market next year-I could stand here and throw the tinsel at it while it turned around." For a full hour Editor Bill walked around the tree, dropping strings of shiny stuff here and there, tying, bells and globes to the' branches and seeking to concel the electric wires. .. He stood off twenty feet, squinted, shook his head, kicked the office cat, told everyone to keep still-and yet was unsatisfied. "I have it!" he shouted, and rushed to the work bench for his tool kit.

This advertising is big business .in Florida, it is pointed out by those who put it Out. Through the medium of the state advertising commission many of these.pictures have found their way into Northern newspapers, magazines and trade journals, as well as many private homes throughout the country in response to advertisements. Chambers of commerce use them. Private tourist attractions supply every conceivable journal with pic- tures of pretty girls.. The state citrus commission has used a modified ''cheesecake" ap- proach in its advertising with vary- ing effects. However, the advertis- ing department states that the com- mission has discontinued "cheese- cake" advertising in its campaign this season.
