PORT ST. JOE A Progressive Community With a Modern, Progressive Weekly Newspaper THE STAR THE STAR Is Devoted To the Con- tinued Development of Port St. Joe and Gulf County "Port St. Joe -The Outlet Port for the Apalachicola-Chattahoochee Valley" VOLUME XIV FORT ST. JOE, FLORIDA, FRIDAY, JANUARY 26, 1951 NUMBER 18 All Communities of State Must Join For Civil Defense State Director Says Neighbor Must Stand Ready To Help Neighbor Revival of the pioneering spirit which enabled early Floridians to overcome the hazards of a subtropi- cal wilderness and begin the task of building the progressive state of today is needed for successful civil l1efense planning, according to Col. R. G. Howie, state director of civil defense, with headquarters in Jack- sonville. "Those were the days when neigh- bor stood ready to help neighbor, to join in on mutually helpful activi- ties, in defense against Indians and the natural hazards of a sub-tropi- cal wilderness," he stated. "This neighborly spirit must ex- tend from cities, towns and com- munities to take in the whole state. In the event of war -or other disas- ter, the major cities must be pre- pared to protect their populations. Florida's inland towns and counties in turn must be ready to back up the coastal counties with offers of help if needed. "Self-help. mutual aid, co-opera- tive effort between individuals and families, communities, counties and the whole state, can serve to keep -(Continued on page 3) Training School To Be Held for Firemen Volunteer Smoke Eaters Will Re- ceive Instruction From State Fire College Representative Beginning next Monday and con- tinuing through Friday, members of the,Port St. Joe volunteer fire de- partment will receive a rigorous course of training under the direc- tion of Fire Chief Erwin of Jack- sonville, a representative of the Florida State Fire College. The fire fighters will spend three hours each of the five nights on a number of subjects, including use of the new fog nozzles, forcible en- try into a burning building, how to combat oil fires, how to keep dam- age to property at a minimum, and many other phases of fire fighting and the use of equipment. "This is to be a school of action, not- lectures," said Fire Chief Durel Brigpan. "A demonstration will be held next Friday night, and the pub- lic is invited to come out and see' just how much our boys will have learned." The St. Joe Paper Company, the Pure Oil Company and the St. Joe Lumber & Export Company have been invited to send representaitves to take part in the school. Heart Attack Fatal For Traveling Man Harris Erskin, 38, of Atlanta, Ga., a shoe salesman, died Wednesday of last week in his room at the Shirey Motel as the result of a heart attack. A coroner's inquest was held by County Judge J. Earl Pridgeon. Dr. L. H. Bartee was the attending phy- sician. The body was shipped to Atlanta Wednesday night by the Comforter Funeral Home. Join The March of Dimes James Q. duPont Tells of Human Side of His Family In Tqlk Here Goodwill Representative Speaks At High School Auditorium Be- fore Good Crowd Speaking before a large audience Monday night gathered in the audi- torium of the new high school, James Q. duPont, special represen- tative of the duPont Company re- viewed the history of the company with, as he put it, "a personal slant." DuPont, who came here un- der sponsorship of the Port St. Joe Rotary and Kiwanis Clubs, was in- troduced by Mayor Jake Belin. A number of out-of-town visitors were present to hear the talk, in- cluding Justice Alto Adams of the supreme court; Justice Rivers Bu- ford, retired; Mayor Corey Hendrix of Apalachicola, Harry Wells of Tal- lahassee, and Harry Ackerman of Atlanta. Ga. DuPont, who illustrated his talk with two charts, told many anec- dotes of the family, explained some of tlhe early problems of the com- pany, and how it was started in 1802 when Pierre Samuel duPont de Nemours and members of his family came from France and E. I. duPont went into the business of making gunpowder on an initial capital of $36,000, which he had bor-, rowed, and how the company then branched out into the manufacture of dynamite, guncotton and smoke- less -powder. Highlight of duPont's talk was when he told how, in 1902. Alfred I. duPont "saved the company" by obtaining permission to buy it from the older members of the family and. with his cousins, Pierre and T. Coleman duPont, negotiated the transaction with no cash. He also told of the expansion and various (Continued on page 2) Labor Seeking Benefit Hike for State's Jobless Organized labor in Florida is ask- ing that unemployment benefits be increased to a maximum of 430 a week for 26 weeks, as compared to the present maximum of $15 a week for 16 weeks. The recommendation will be placed before the 1951 legis- lature. The proposal for the $30 a week maximum is in line with that rec- ommended by both the national AFL and CIO organizations. Labor tried to get the payments boosted to a maximum of $20 for 20 weeks in the 1949 legislature, but the proposal was bottled up in committee. LAYMEN'S LEAGUE HOLDING SUPPER NEXT WEDNESDAY The Laymen's League of the St.' James Episcopal Church is holding one of their homey, get-together suppers at the parish house next Wednesday evening, January 31. Main course at this affair will be spaghetti, and the public is invited to come out and wind some around a fork. Mickey Stone Out of Hospital Mickey Stone was dismissed from the municipal hospital Tuesday and is convalescing at the home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. T. H. Stone. Return From Arkansas Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Boyer and Mrs. Ed Ramsey returned last week from Beebee, Ark., where they were called by the illness of Mrs. W. E. Eoyer. Congratulations Arrive Ten Years Too Late In The Star's "Ten Years Ago" column of January 12 there ap- peared this item: "Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Smith are announcing the arrival of a five-pound daughter, born January 5 at a Panama City hospital." Saturday of last week a letter of congratulation arrived from Congressman Bob Sikes up there in Washington, accompanied by an interesting booklet on how to raise babies in the most approved fashion. This was fine-but trouble is that daughter is now 10 years old. Apparently Bob's secretary, in glacing through The Star, didn't note that the announcement ap- peared under the "Ten Years Ago" column. City Proposes To Boost Rates For Wtter Sewage Necessary Due To Fact That Revenue Debentures In Default $83,800 At the regular meeting of the city commission on January 16 an or- dinance was introduced providing for an increase in rates of the wa- ter and sewer system. It was pointed out by City Auditor and Clerk Ben Dickens that rates in the past have fallen far short of producing suffi- cient money to pay the interest and retire the 4%9 water and sewer rev- enue bonds which were issued to raise money to construct the pres- ent water and sewer system in 1936. Figures were presented showing that as of January 1 the water and sewer system was $60,000 in default on the water and sewer revenue de- bentures and $23,800 in default on interest, bringing the total amount in default to $83,800. The proposed new rates provide for an increase in the minimum sewer charge from 50c to $1.00 and changing the rate for sewer service (Continued on page 2) Power Commission Turns Deaf Ear To Gas Franchise Deal Coal and Rail Groups Oppose Plan Which Would Bring Natural Gas To This Section The federal power commission, staff counsel Tuesday in Washing- ton opposed granting an applica- tion to the Atlantic Gulf Gas Com- pany to deliver natural gas to some 54 communities in this section, in- cluding Port St. Joe. At the conclu- sion of the .hearing. the commission took the ,case under advisement for a -decision at some future date. Present at the hearing to urge granting of the franchise were some 14 persons representing the South- eastern Association of Municipali- ties for Natur-al Gas, various inter- ested cities and towns, and cham- bers of commerce. They suggested that Atlantic Gulf be granted at least a conditional certificate under which it would Two Mexican College Pog| Campaign Students Observing 'n Gulf County Paper Mill Operation Martin Brothers Like Port St. Joe, Is At Midpoint Its Friendly People and the Fishing -By DON BROCK The Martin brothers, Pedro, 23, and Eduardo, 21, arrived in Port St. Joe on January 14 and plan to be with us for a period of from eight to ten weeks. While on vacation from the Na- tional University of Mexico, where Pedro will major in industrial chem- istry and Eduardo in chemical en- gineering, they have been given the opportunity to study and observe all phases of mill operations at the St. Joe Paper Company. This has been arranged through the kindness of mill officials and the Bulkley Dunton Cellulose Export Company, Inc., of New York. Their father is, associated with the export company in Mexico. Having developed a great liking for the United States, they believe in the "good neighbor" policy and the fostering of a good understand- ing between the two countries. They consider very valuable the experi- ence acquired from American in- dustry by visiting students through- out the country, while in exchange Mexico offers American students in- teresting studies in art, history and languages, as well as being a big tourist attraction. The brothers are enjoying their visit in St. Joe, where they have met many of the friendly, hard- working people. As yet they have been unsuccessful in their fishing, but,after having sampled the fish dinners prepared by G. W. Richmond in the Hotel St. Joe dining room. they are still anxious to tangle with some of our speckled trout and red- fish. Game Commission To Ask For Pole Fishing Licenses The state game and fresh water fish commission is going to try again for a law requiring cane pole fishermen to have licenses. ,The commission has been unable to get passage of such a law in previous legislative sessions. At present, resident rod and reel fishermen and those fishing outside their own counties must have the $2 licenses. Out-of-state fishermen are charged $7.50 for a season li- cense or $2.25 for a 10-day permit. Anglers using no more than three poles in their home counties need no licenses. The game commission suggests a charge of $1 for a county cane pole license. It is pointed out that 90 per cent of the fresh' water fish caught in the state are caught with cane poles.

Proclamation By Mayor J. C. Belin Urges Support of March of'Dimes The 1951 March of Dimes reached mid-point this week as efforts con- tinued to prepare Gulf county and the nation for the job of fighting polio in the coming year. To spur lagging contributors, Mayor J. C. Belin yesterday issued a proclamation calling on all resi- dents of Port St. Joe to assure con- tinuation of the fight against infan- tile paralysis by giving unstinted support to the March of Dimes. The proclamation disclosed that bills for polio patient care alone during 1949-50 took some $47,000,- 000 in Maich of Dimes funds, again exhausting the epidemic aid fund of the National Foundation for Infan- tile Paralysis. ... Text of the proclamation is as follows: "WHEREAS, for the third suc- cessive year the nation has ex- perienced a very serious polio.epi- demic, with incidence that ranks 1950 as the second worst polio year on record; and, "WHEREAS, the past two years drained away some $47,000,000 in March of Dimes funds in defray- (Continue oni V'- e 5) Strike Closes Mill of St Joe Lumber Co. Officials Refuse To Negotiate With Organizers of United Con- struction Workers The St. Joe Lumber & Export Company closed down operations Monday due to a strike of it3 more than 300 employes. The Star was informed Wednes- day by J. P. Fleishel, general man- ager of the company, that the plant was being picketed by the United Construction Workers of America because it' has not been recognized as a bargaining unit for the mill workers. "The union has made no demands except for recognition," said Flei- shel, "but we do not intend to recog- nize it, and are not even consider- ing negotiations. If the men want to come back to work, and I under- stand quite a number of them do, we will again start operations." The strike is, to a certain extent, affecting the economic setup of the community, since the payroll of the company comes to about $12,000 a week, or approximately $2000 a day, according "to figures secured from the company. Sharks Lose Two Games; Play Bay Hi Here Tonight The St. Joe high school basket- ball teams continued their losing streaks by dropping their last two contests. Last Friday night, in the game here with Bristol the boys lost 53 to 47. and Taesday night at Frink lost again by a 59-45 -count. Due to the fact that they could not field a team, the St. Joe girls forfeited their game to Frink. The Bay high Tornadoes will play here tonight, meeting the Shark A and B teams, and next Tuesday eve- ning both the boys and girls teams will go to Wewahitchka. THE ST,.R, PORT ST.

Right or Wrong REALLY VERSATILE That set of the Encyclopedia Britannica that our wife gave us is sure going to be a life-saver to us when we're in a jam for something to edi- torialize on. For instance, take a guess at the number of chemical products which have their origin in coal. We were just reading at random and be- come interested in the matter. Unless you're well-infoimed as to this versa- tile natural resource (which we are now, due to our perusal of the subject), your guess won't be within shooting distance of the right figure. The number of products actually is in excess of 200,- 000, ranging from materials such as nylons arid the plastics, to medicines such as novocaine and the fabulous sulfa drugs. Coal derivaties are used by every person in Port St. Joe. Thus coal makes a very direct con- tribution to our living standards, whether we ever burn a piece of it in its natural state or not. Of much greater importance at this time is the fact that coal is one measure of our war po- tential. The Britannica informs us, for instance, that the Soviet Union is far below us in its abil- ity to produce steel. And the reason for that is insufficient coal. Our enormous steel production is made possible because the coal industry can supply the steelmakers with all the coal they can use-and is ready to step up production almost overnight if that is needed. We deduct, therefore, that the strength and security of any country is largely decided by the quantity of this versatile mineral that can be produced. The government has buried its gold in Ken- tucky and its silver in West Point, N. Y. The taxpayer will be buried, as has been the custom for years, in the little home-town cemetery.- Stromsburg (Nebr.) Headlight.

' The commission said that if the legislature wants to provide the millions extra requested by wel- fare, health, schools and higher ed- ucation, it will have to do it on its own and raise new taxes to pay the bill. The $20,000,000 request from the schools was sent to the legislature in the form of a footnote with a suggestion the legislature either provide the money or change the law which provides for it. IThis ac- tion was vigorously protested by Tom Bailey, state school superin- tendent, who said the board had no authority to omit this sum, which he said is prescribed by the 1947 school law. Also placed in a footnote was a meet mandates 'from the U. S. su- preme court that e'cual educatior'-l1 facilities miust be provided for bDth. whi'e and negro students.

JOE, GULF COUNTY, FLORIDA FRIDAY, JANUARY 26, 1951 Federal Thought Control Is Costing Taxpayers Millions. Uncle Sam's Efforts To Create Pub- lic Favor For Projects Run Into Big Money The propaganda efforts of Uncle Sa-m in the year 1949 to create pub- lic favor for such projects as the Brannan plan. compulsory health Insurance and such. cost taxpayers more than $100.000,000, according to a Reader's Digest article. To pay salaries of federal pub- licity men the treasury shells out about $1,500,000 a month. To print the releases of these propaganda experts costs astleast $4,000,000 a month, and to mail them takes an- other $3,000.000. And even as in The Star office, .90 per cent of it goes into the wastebasket. A survey by the house committee on expenditures of the 80th con- gress showed that 100 pages of the New York Times would be required to print all the handout material re- ceived by that newspaper from fed- eral agencies during a single week -which would be equivalent to ap- proximately 200 pages in The Star. "Much of it," the article says, "was sheer propaganda, designed to in- fluence public thinking and bring pressure on congress." Activities of the department of agriculture, "where busy bureau- crats concentrate on selling the Brannan plan," reveal the vastness of governmental publicity. The de- partment has 3,029 county agricul- tural associations throughout the nation: 9.087 county committeemen and 97.529 community committee- men. More than $200,000,000 is ap- propriated annually for agriculture personnel. That a substantial part of this sum is used for publicity is evident by the report of the house committee on expenditures after a nine-month study. The agriculture department issued in that period 1,998 press releases, 120,000 copies of its weekly clipsheet, 837 radio scripts and 17 films." The social security administration Is spending millions annually on publicity, the article says. It and other agencies under federal secur- ity concentrate on promoting social- ized medicine. Employes of these agencies fly abroad at public ex- pense "to study how socialized med- icine was put across in other na- 'tions, and gather arguments to per- suade congress and the American public to adopt it." Congressmen who criticize federal propaganda point out that they are not objecting to legitimate informa- tion functions of the government. Administrators must give their'opin- ions to congress when requested. But this provision of the law has been subverted to imply the right to persuade citizens, at government expense, to pressure their congress- men to vote for this or that act or appropriation. .Smathers To Address theirr members of the Legion or not.

O.GLFCUT, LRD PG EE Florida Weaure Getting Into Big Business Class Relief for Everybody But the Poor Taxpayer Goes Merrily On By RUSSELL KAY Digging into Florida's welfare setup. Tampa Tribune staff writer J. A. Murray comes up with some interesting figures that ought to provide plenty of food for thought in the face of skyrocketing living. costs and steadily mounting taxes. The figures show that the aged, the blind and mothers of children in Florida receive less than the na- tional average, but they also show that the people are paying about 50 per cent more than the national av- erage for welfare. The figures also show that the to- tal payments have increased seven times in the past decade. They also reveal that more than half of the people in Florida over 65 years of age are on welfare or social secur- ity rolls, compared with less than 40 per cent nationally. A higher number of Floridians are receiving aid than in any other state but three. From the standpoint of ability to pay, Florida taxpayers are doing more now for welfare than most other states. In one county, Murray points out, 86 per cent of the resi- dents over 65 years of age are on the rolls. Eighty out of every 1000 are on the rolls for dependent chil- dren-more than twice the national average. And to make matters worse, while relief for just about anybody and everybody goes merrily on, there is no relief in sight for the taxpayer who is footing the bill. In Florida the number of people going on re- lief rolls is growing twice as fast as the national average, which has caused Florida to be termed "The Poorhouse State." While negroes comprise only 23 per cent of this state's population, it is revealed that about 60 per cent of the children on relief are- ne- groes. Only one state in the nation, Pennsylvania. has more blind peo- ple on the rolls than Florida. An in- teresting case in this connection came to light not long ago when -a Florida highway patrolman arrested a man for reckless driving and dis- covered that the fellow was carry- ing a Florida driver's license and, I -- 0 CL CA = CD nD i-. at the ane time, cra' .vina co:'ie- -"e n- pega. names of those on relief being made Confined To Bed With 'Flu a:io ben se he wa blind. ih the knowledge that the state public should be rescinded this Lamar Freeman has been con- HoT ,n eany .p.Ie h e, o ,e in i is will take over their fanily and pro- alone would go a long way toward fined to his bed with 'flu this week. srate holding drixvee licer.s th vide for wife and children, many straightening matters out-but try s'-ate hoodinr drier f ltie d, wo Ihusbands walk out on their respon- and get congress to act.
