Instead of the formal ar- rangement of petals which char- acterize3 the other double flowers of this family. Fantasy zinnias have curled and twisted petals, of lovely, soft coloring. A mixture of Fantasy varieties will include flow- ers of orange, rose, scarlet, yellow and white. Lilliput zinnias are similar in form to the larger double types, but the flowers are smaller and more numerous. They grow in dwarf bushes 12 to 18 inches tall, with branching stems, bearing a flower at the end of each branch. The plants are almost smothered in bloom. Colors include rich deep maroon, soft pink, bright nink, orange, yellow arid purIol Nicotiana and zinnias both germi- nqte quickly and grow rapidly from seed. They flower from early summer until the plants are killed hy freezing in the fall. The zinnias are, ideal for cutting, as well as excellent for garden display. They can be used foi-,bowl arrangements on the table, or vases in the living room. A planting of this nature can bh- used in many locations besides tha particular one illustrated. In front of any one-story house, set close to the ground level, borders of flow- ers will make an attractive frame for the house, with no danger of growing so tall in a short time, that they will shut out sunlight, and ob- scure the view from the windows All the varieties used in this plat. are sun loving, and endure hot weather. They are seldom attacked by insects. If the soil in which tLey are sownT is fertile, the chief care required will be regular watering, and cutting off faded flowers. To insure fertility, four pounds of a complete plant food should be spread on the soil and worked ir. before the seed is sown, using four pounds to 100 square fset .. ll' oy . .-.

An impressive candlelight service 'was conducted by Miss Emma Ste- vens, home demonstration agent, in installing the newly-elected officers and delegates of the council. Mrs. P. G.

The groundhog last night began to stir from his seasonal torpor, preparatory to making the annual excursion from his snug hole today at noon, when visibility of his shadow will deter- mine a momentous weather forecast. At least, ac- cording to legend. One glimpse of his image cast by the sunlight will send the diminutive animal scurrying be- neath the earth again, and with him will go all of Port St. Joe's hopes for an early spring, accord- ing to weather folklore. In that event, winter will be extended for another six weeks, the supersti- tion has it. The most sanguine of local citizens, those who are ardent fishermen, especially, are courting the chance of a few clouds at noontime today, so Mr. Groundhog will remain out, a sign which is con- sidered good for an imminent break in winter. While skeptical government forecasters, who smile at almanacs and animal meteorologists, put little stock in the ancient belief, the farmerfolk of England marked February 2 as "Candlemas Day" and put great store by the limerick: "If Candlemas Day be fine and clear, corn and fruits will then be dear. "If Candlemas Day be fair and bright, winter will have another flight. "But if Candlemas Day bring clouds and rain, winter is gone and won't come again. Regardless of the skepticism of the weather men, The Star holds forth for the old supersti- tion and will have an observer in the field today to bring back a ringside story for our readers on the actions of Br'er Groundhog. WEAKNESS OR STRENGTH It is evident that a large and stubborn clique in this government is still fighting for all the costly proposals which would transform the country into a paternal state based on the Brit- ish socialist model. The vast expense of this, of course, would simply be piled on top of a mili- tary budget that is going to run to $70,000,000,- 000 or more. It is even argued that the strains of rearmament will in themselves make extensive "social measures" necessary. Well, theory is one thing and fact is often quite another. And the evident fact is that the only way we can hope to pay for full-scale de- fense without destroying the value of our money is to cut out every domestic tax expenditure that can be avoided. And we must do this no matter how it hurts, or what it does to the feelings of those who pine for the socialist Utopia. We cannot draw a hard and fast line between domestic policy, foreign policy and military pol- icy. Ever-increasing inflation, and a steady de- cline in the purchasing power of the dollar, could in itself undermine the military program to a disastrous degree. Uncle Harry, along with other politicians, talk about sacrifices. Let them start by sacrificing political programs which would sorely weaken us when we must be strong. The only ones who are really sacrificing anything are those in the armed forces. LET'S DO A LITTLE CULTIVATING Gardens don't "just grow," as Topsy did. They must be cultivated. One does not have to be a gardener to know this, neither does one have to be a gardener to know that similar work must be done if the projects in life are to grow. Just as hard work and cultivation are necessary to make a garden grow, so also are they resultful requisites for realizing success in private or eom- munity affairs. Spring is in the offing, and with spring comes an awakening to new life and renewed life. Will we be gardeners and help cultivate Port St. Joe into a more prosperous and pleasant place in which to live? We can if we will. But first we must plant the seed, which is spending our dollars in the stores of Port St. Joe, by patronizing the professional people of Port St. Joe, by employing the unem- ployed of Port St. Joe whenever possible. Cultivation comes with the centering of our activities first in Port St. Joe, for by doing this we enrich the soil and that which is planted grows, and the community blossoms forth as one in which we are proud to live. Let's do a little more planting and for the sake of the old home town! STARDUST and MOONSHINE -I-, People hearing the editor and his frau screaming at one another here lately might be under the impres- sion that we're squabbling * but such isn't the case. A couple of weeks back both of us were bitten by the 'flu bug, or some equally vicious varmint, and suffered some sort of throat irritation that caused partial deafness. Myrtice claims I'm deafer than she, and I throw a simi- lar charge at her-meanwhile, we can both mutter what we think of one another and neither of us can hear it a nice sort of setup in a way. However, it does interfere with me hearing the tele- pone occasionally when operating the Linotype, and were it not for our trusty henchman, Don Brock, we'd probably miss a lot of 'phone calls. So, if you're calling The Star and don't get an immedi- ate reply, keep trying, as eventually we'll be somewhere in the neigh- borhood of the phone and hear it. Here's an oddity presented to us by Bob Bowers of Mount Dora, rep- resentative of the Mergenthaler Linotype Company. It's a complete alphabet in capital letters on a mat- rix one-sixth of an inch square, and is the smallest complete alphabet that can be set on a typesetting machine. Here 'tis: We don't know how it is going to print up on newspaper stock, but it shows up quite clear on bond pa- per. You'll probably need a magni- fying glass to read it here, but we can read it with the naked eye on the bond paper. For expansion, the aluminum in- dustry needs low-cost electricity.

Mrs. G. A. Patton was elected chairman and Mrs. W. A. Roberts, vice-chairman. Mrs. Patton named a program committee consisting of Mrs. B. E. Kenney Jr., Mrs. W. H. Wellington and Mrs. Ted Frary. Present at the organization meet- ing in addition to those named were Mesdames J. T. Trawick, H. McKnight, William Bragg, Floyd Hunt, R. R. Minus and R. W. Smith.

Farnell Found In West Coast City After Disappearing With 1$1500 Foul play was suspected last week in Zephyrhills when the pickup truck used by J. C. Farnell, member of the city council and manager of the Zephyrhills branch of the Flor- ida Power Corporation, was found parked under a tree near Trilby with the keys in the ignition lock and no sign of engine trouble or an accident. The day he disappeared, Farnell had been making collections from company sub-offices and it was be- lieved he had between $1000 and $1500 with him. Tuesday word was received from Seattle, Wash., that the, missing' man had been picked up there and was being held for Florida authqri- ties. Sheriff Leslie Bessinger of Dade City reported Farnell had col- lected $1,499 the day he vanished. Farnell, 34, married and the father of four children, was former man- ager of the Port St. Joe office of the Florida Power Corporation, go- ing from here to the Wildwood of- fice when Rich Porter returned from his stretch with the Seabees. .------------4------- Grow Fine Vegetables In Oak Grove Ye Ed loves green onions, and recently when our wife gets to the Quality Grocery all the choice scal- lions are sold.

LEGISLATURE WILL BE ASKED TO PASS BAD CHECK MEASURE A group of Florida retail mer- chants will ask the 1951 legislature for more stringent laws against the passing of bad checks and for a simpler way to collect bad debts. Under present state law it is al- most impossible to prove there was Intent to defraud when a person gives a check that is returned be- cause of insufficient funds in the bank.

S. history, should hostilities continue there with the present heavy losses, according to the Association of Casualty and Surety Companies. The death of "GI-X" is expected within the next few months, 176 years after the first Minute Man died in the Battle of Lexington on April 19, 1775. It will precede by only a few months the death of "Victim X", his unknown civilian counterpart, who will be the mil- lionth person to be killed in U. S. traffic accidents since 1900. With traffic deaths also nearing the mil- lion mark this year, it is expected that "Victim X" will die next- De- cember if street and highway fa- talities continue at the present high rate of 35,000 a year. "GI-X" may be killed during the spring or even sooner if Korean casualties become heavier. Military deaths in all American wars, in-. eluding Korea, reached a total of 994,000 near the end of January. At that time the-50-year toll of traffic deaths topped 966,000, or 28.000 fewer than the aggregate of all war deaths to date. All U. S. wars had cost 986,000 lives when the Korean action began last June, according to department of defense reports. During the first six months of the Korean war, 6,- 200 Americans were reported dead of all causes. Continued heavy U. S. losses since December have edged the total of all war dead closer to the million mark, with 7,303 con- firmed deaths reported as of Janu- ary 12. '"GI-X" will die when that total is nearly doubled. Both "GI-X" and "Victim X" will remain unknown, their identities buried in a maze of statistics. Both deaths will be significant historic- ally, however, particularly since they may occur in the same year. While an unexpected truce or evac- uation of U. S. forces from Korea might delay the death of "GI-X", an intensive highway safety campaign in 1951 could save enough lives to postpone until next year the ex- pected death of the millionth traf- fic victim in "Accident X". Although the total of U. S. mili- tary deaths from all causes is a bit higher, automobiles to date have killed far more than twice the num- ber of soldiers killed in action since 1775. Nearly a third of all the na- tion's war dead are accounted for by nearly 284,000 deaths from dis- ease in the- Civil War among Con- federate and Union soldiers. This total, although huge, is 500 less than the 284,300 traffic deaths which have occurred since Pearl Harbor. On top of this, it is estimated that between 29,500,000 and 30,000,- 000 men, women and children, in- cluding pedestrians, have suffered non-fatal injuries in traffic acci- dents since 1900. This total is 25. times greater than the 1,250,000 men wounded in all U. S. wars, up to the present time. 0 'S FIRST OF MONTH SPECIALS!
