JOE, FLORIDA. FRIDAY, JANUARY 19, 1951 NUMBER 17 Fire Department ,Quite Busy Lately Called Out To Fight Two Dwelling Blazes and Two Grass Fires During Past Week By BEN DICKENS 'The Port St. Joe volunteer fire- men have been busy laddies during the past week, what with two seri- ous fires in dwellings and a couple of grass fires. Thursday noon of last week (na- turally after The Star had gone to press) they extinguished a blaze at the residence of Neal McKinnon at 219 Seventh Street. More than 1100 feet of hose was laid before the stubborn blaze was extinguished. Considerable damage was caused to the rear end of the house, in- cluding the loss of all furniture, clothing and personal belongings of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Jacobs, -who resided in that portion of the building. Cause of the fire was be- lieved to be the explosion of an oil *stove or defective wiring. Esti- mated loss was about $3500. The boys were called out Friday to extinguish a blaze in a large frame house on Avenue B in the ,colored quarters owned by Dan Hodrick. Over'950 feet of hose was laid before this fire was brought ufider control. Practically all the furniture and other household bte- longings in the building were a to- (Continued on page 8) Patrolman Picks Up Two With Stolen Car Riley McGee, 27, of Atmore, Ala... and Avalon Kirby, 25; are being held in the county jail at Wewa- hitchka on charges of auto theft, having been picked up by Patrol- man G. E. Jordan Sunday morning. Jordan stopped the couple at Bob Kingry's place after they had driven through Highland View at an ex- cessive'rate of speed. He discovered that the car they were driving, a 1950 Chevrolet, had no key but the ignition was wired- around the ig- nition lock. McGee said that he had been working as an attendant at a park- ing lot in Tampa and, that he. had -made off with the car, taking the woman with him. A Terrible Day Arrives For Men of Port St. Joe There will be many glum faces in Port St. Joe tomorrow, due to the fact that the price of haircuts has been boosted to a dollar. Yes, sir, tomorrow will be a ter- rible day for the male population of our fair city, and chances are a lot'of men will let their hair grow long and tie it up in a quque in the back. On page seven of this issue of The Star will be found the sad news as advertised by the Palace Bar- ber Shop and Cooper's Tonsorial Parlor. Read it and weep. Railroad Will Continue Express Service By Truck J. L. Sharit, general superinten- dent of the A. N. Railroad, states .that the "Doodlebug" will be dis- continued on February 1, doing away with passehger'and mail ser- vice, but that arrangements have been made to continue the express service by trucks over the high- ways, and that all points previously receiving express service via the A. N. will continue to get that service. dmmmpml will be- on display. C. A. had the new Plymouths-on display last Sat- urday, but we didn't know about it or we'd have given him a story. He probably will have the Plymouths polished up tomorrow also. "You can pay up to $1000 more for other makes and still not get all the new beauty, extra room and famous dependability of this great new Dodge," said McGowin, going' on to point out that the new riding principle incorporated in the car- the Oriflow shock absorber system -brings a truly new kind of ride. "It lets you 'float' down roads that stop other cars," he said. "Whether it's cobblestones or country ruts, the wheels stay on the ground."

The dogs belonged to Byron Eells Jr., Clarice Whaley, Clarence Prid- geon, Clifford Wimberly, Ralph Rich and Clifford Tharp . Byron Eells took his dead pet to Panama City for an autopsy in an . effort to discover the type of poison ' used. in an endeavor to trace the ii " buyer. __ . .. , New Dodge To Go On Display Here Saturdayi o a a O McGowin Motor Company Invites Spe7ker T,3 Tellf Public To Drop By and DuPont C0.

At the regular meeting Monday night, Willis- V. Rowan Post 116, American Legion, went on record as being opposed to lowering the draft age to 18 years. "If the 18-year-olds are suffici- ently old to fight for their country they should also have the privilege of voting," said Commander W. P. Comforter.- "These youths are the future of our country, they are the ones who will run our future gov- ernment and our businesses. This post is of the opinion that if they can fight the battles of their coun- try they certainly should have a voice in its operation." The' post also went on record to the effect that should the draft age be lowered to 18 that these youths should not be sent into battle un- til they have reached the age of 19, in order that they can absorb suf- ficient knowledge to take care of themselves properly, instead of be- ing sent in as green troops, as has been the case in many instances. A copy of the resolution will. be sent to our representatives and senators in congress.

Culpepper Speak From Personal Experience By HARRY McKNIGHT Members of the Port St. Joe Ki- wanis Club, meeting Wednesday noon at Hotel St. Joe, heard talks on the dangers of polio from two speakers who had had the dread disease strike in their homes. The principal speaker was Rev. Lee Graham Jr., who was intro- duced by Ted Frary, Gulf county March of Dimes director. Making a brief reference to the strike of in- fantile paralysis into his own fam- ily, as well as other local cases, Rev. Graham sounded an emphatic and definite warning that polio is widespread, its danger is right with us, and that we must awaken to this ever present menace. "I listened and- learned from the doctor in charge of the hospital the things about Dolio and how "t is coped with, where I failed- to liS- tea before from others," said Rev. Graham.

Cowan of the Florida Forest Service. Prior to the show- ing of an interesting film on the conservation of Florida's forests Mr. Cowan discussed the problem of shade trees for Port St. Joe. The planting of native trees such as pine, sycamore, sweet gum, bay, cottonwood and oaks was recom- mended.' Regarding oak trees in small yards, Mr. Cowan stated that the water oak has less spread than the live oak and would probably be more suitable. Redbud and dogwood trees can be grown here but need fertilizing yearly. One pound of balanced fertilizer per inch- of di- ameter is recommended. Cowan stressed the fact that pine seedlings in Port St. Joe are easily available, fast-growing, hardy and suitable to our soil. In transplanting the seedlings it is important to keep the hair-like roots wet and never give them an opportunity to dry out. The tap root serves only as an anchor and may be cut off with- out harm to the tree. Following the meeting, Mr. Cowan demonstrated the proper method of planting seedlings, and in doing so planted between 40 and 50 seedlings on the grounds of the L.

She also re- ceived a number of gifts from her officers as a token of their appreci- ation for her efforts during the year just past.

Our Country Right or Wrong WHY WOMEN GAD MORE Our wife gave us a set of Encyclopedia Brit- annicas for a present, and we pick up a volume now and again to read at random. The other day we became deeply interested in the development of the self-starter for cars, which headed us off on the following line of thought:. We've noticed that women get around much more now than they did forty years ago, and we've unthinkingly attributed their increased cir- culation to their new and undisturbed freedom. It just hadn't occurred to us that their increased circulation was traceable to a small mechanical gadget-the self-starter on an automobile. Before the self-starter arrived on the scene, all women except the muscular and robust had to depend on their menfolk to crank the car. Com- paratively few took the chance of having their car stall dead on a muddy country road. Now a dainty foot or finger pressed against the starter button sets the engine to going and the woman, of 1951 is ready to travel on a mo- ment's notice. She doesn't have to worry about muddy roads. If she gives out of gas she doesn't worry, for there's usually a filling station a couple of hundred yards ahead, or another car will be along in a few minutes and give her a tow or loan her a gallon of gas.

JOE, FLORIDA T:E: S-, AR, FOR7. ST. JCZE, C'-!LF C31-IN-4Y, FLCRIDA FRIDAY, JANUARY 19, 1951 PAGE FOUR I at F F P I Era of Open Range and Nondescript Cattle Is Now Ending In Florida1 Cattlemen Have Learned That Bet- ter Pasture Lands Result In Improved Herds The open range and nondescript cattle are rapidly disappearing from Florida. An era which lasted for 400 years is coming to an end. The state's cattlemen now have 1,147,800 acres of improved pasture and 9,682,800 acres are under fance. The cattle grazing behind thousands of miles of wire today are fre- quently herds of purebred, grade or improved stock. The development has been obvi- ous for the past 15 years. The fig- ures were compiled recently by Daniel E. Alleger, associate econo- mist with the University of Florida agricultural experiment station. His survey was conducted among county agents, with the co-operation of Di- rector H. G. Clayton of the agricul- tural extension service. The native cattle are a heritage of early Spanish imports. They have been able to survive through the centuries under adverse conditions -poor grazing, blood-sucking ticks, salt sick disease and other troubles. But the tick has been eradicated; experiment station workers found the cause of salt sick and the rem- edy-a mineral mixture containing iron and cobalt, in addition to phos- phate or ground marble and salt; new and better grasses hav6 been introduced and the value of pasture fertilization has been shown; ad- vent of the screw worm fly 16 years ago made it necessary to give the cattle closer attention, and th is made it desirable to have fences and better cattle; and finally, the 1949 state legislature passed the cattle fencing law, which became effective July 1, 1950. Florida has a .long growing sea- son, and there is a wide variety of pasture and forage plants adapted to conditions here. These have been outstandnig facts that have helped the development of better pastures in the state. New and better pas- ture plants have been introduced to the state during the last 10 or 15 years, and still others are under study. Florida cattlemen have learned that better pasture lands result in improved herds, a decrease in the number of grazing acres needed and an increase in value of the land. Lighter Hogs Preferred The 200-pound hog is preferred today over the .250-pound animal because it contains less low-priced lard and a higher percentage of higher priced lean meat. o CO * CD - S Cn 0 S" _ CD - 7 -* .D * Says $360,000,000 Budget 164, S*GULF COUS For 1951-52 Will Be Sought Boys 4-H Club House Speaker Designate Repre- Ueetin.s sentative B.

The amount, added to about $2,- 712,000 in increases over 1949 ap- propriations granted earlier in the week, lessened prospects that the cabinet will bring its total recom- mendations within the $248,000,000 ceiling it has set. Also passed over until later were requests of $97,500 for the gover- nor's safety council and $467,000 for the state defense council. Any- thing given to them will be extra money, since they didn't exist two years ago. The cabinet recommended that the state fund to match personal pen- sion contributions for school teach- ers retiring in the next two years be increased $1,591,000 over the last appropriation. However, as per usual, the cabinet voted against making, a start (due since 1939) on building up the .state's part of a re- serve fund required by law. All the state money will go to pay pensions of teachers actually retiring. In session Monday, the commis- sion pared nearly $21.000.000 from the $120,500,000 asked by State Su- perintendent TomrnBailey for oper- ation of Florida's schools under the minimum foundation plan. The '49 legislature appropriated $99,793,000 for school operation, and the .bud- get commission felt that was suf- ficient to operate the schools for the next two years. The motor vehicle commission was put down for exactly what the 1949 legislature appropriated for it, plus $30,000 that, it had to spend from the general emergency fund. The hotel commission was al- lowed an increase of $58,000 above its $442.000 appropriation of 1949. It wanted $242,000 ignore" and. pro- posed to make it up by asking the legislature to raise hotel and res- taurant license fees. The Everglades fire control dis- trict was put down for $10,000 more than its current appropriation, and 20 professional licensing and ex- amining boards were allowed what they asked about $100,000 more than current appropriations--with a limitation that none can get more than it takes in from fees. An increase of $91,780 was recom- mended for the supreme court, and the appropriation for all the state's circuit courts, their judges, prose- cuting officials and witness fees also was raised $100,000 above the present appropriation, since the state's population growth has added several new judges to the bench. The state treasurer was allowed an increase of $112,000 in the bud- get for his office and the insurance commission. At the present' rate, the world's population would double in 70 years.
