tion he-moved that the board dis-
miss the pettiion, which motion
was acceded to unanimously by the
other four members of the board:

chase of a 2%-ton or larger truck

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.

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.

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.

I've been good in school and at

Dear old Harry done lost his temper again!
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? Could be this is
one of the reasons he has such a hard time keep-

STARDUST and

MOONSHINE

(Reprinted by request)
Have you noticed that handsome
Christmas tree in the office win-
dow of The Star building? .. You
have? Well, there's a tale con-
nected with it.
The tree, an usually perfect
,pecimen of the genus pinus, was
brought in from its primeval set-
ting and erected on a suitable bise'.
"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.
He # A gone sbme tin'e;, but fi-
nially there could be heard noise in
the space between ceiling and roof.
. The tree decorator had bored
a hole in the ceiling and was' pre-
pared to shower tinsel down on the
tree below!

HIere we are, snowed under with
job printing and scads of advertis-
ing (as this 12-page issue will tes-
tify) and the red fish and speckled
trout are being hauled in right and
left down there at the docks. .
Woe is us! The life of a pub-
lisher becomes hectic at times.

D-obpped in, at Parlker's Jewelry
El'boriuni the other day ind was
kidding C. L. Parker on the fact
that his watch was several minutes-
slow when compared with our trusty
timepiece and the Western Union
clock on the wall of his store. .
"You know, I guess I'll have to take
it to a jeweler for adjustment," he
remarked.

You know, having false teeth at
times has its advantages. At
dinner Sunday evening, our wife
said: "My goodness, I've got some-
thing stuck between my teeth." She
took out her bridgework, removed
the offending particle of food and
slipped 'em back in her mouth ....
We've still to have a tooth filled or
one pulled, and remarked that ap-


parently we were missing a lot of
the advantages of life.

'Cheesecake' Doesn't

Lure People To State,

Opinion of Scientists

Opposition Says This Type Picture
Finds Way Into Northern Pa-
pers and National Mags

Florida's bathing beauties por-
tray all the health-giving qualities
of a versatile state-but college
scientists still believe that "sun-
kissed cheesecake" is not the most
desirable method for luring people
to Florida.
In a speech" before the Florida
Academy of Sciences at Lakeland
last week, J. Maynard Keech of the
University of Miami's school of
business administration, rapped the
.state's "cheesecake advertising."
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. Not one girl appears
in any of the ad series, with the
possible exception of the face.

borough River, Hugh Taylor Birch
and Highlands Hammock state

been covered for several years, but
social security is coming to farm
labor for the first time.
The provisions apply to hired la-
borers doing all kinds of farm work,
and are compulsory. -The employer
deducts 1%% of the laborer's pay,
matches it, and sends the 3% to
the collector of internal revenue.
An employee must work at least a
quarter of a year for the same em-
ployer to qualify, and the quar-
ters are the first, second, third and
fourth quarters of the calendar year.
If he changes jobs, he must work a
full quarter for his.new employer
before his work begins to count to-
ward social security. After he qual-
ifies, he must work at least 60 days
out of each quarter and draw at
least $50 to stay on the rolls.

CIVIL DEFENSE GROUP

(Continued from page 1)
He called for immediate comple-
tion of two important civil defense
tasks: Perfecting county and re-
gional organizations, and taking
surveys of critical areas and re-
sources. This must be done said
Howie, to have effective organiza-
tions and so state headquarters
will know how it must help various
areas in case of attack.
Warning against apathy in civil
defense preparations, Col. Howie
said, "While the- thought may seem
fantastic to' some, it is within rea-
son to assume that the United
States might possibly be invaded"
in event of a world-wide war. If
this happens, he pointed out, "Flor-
ida's geography makes it a very in-
viting target for invasion purposes

co-ordination of effeort can we in-
sure proper support."
