Visitor to This Dooryard


Color and fragrance will greet
the visitor to a hsu-e with a door-

the plan :U,4.tratr.d. Ma.i,'I against
the low fence are- plants of the
sweet tobacco, nicotiana, which is
one of the most fragrant of all
.flowers. A bed as large as the one
shown will perfume the evening air
over a wide area.
In the other bed are two of the
most attractive types of zinnia.
Fantasy zinnias are unique in
form. 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

To Gulf County Home
Demonstration Council
By CLAUDIA SEWELL
The first meeting of the new year
of the Gulf County Council of Home
Demonstration Clubs was held last
week at the Honeyville church with
the Honeyville club acting as host.
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. Hart, incoming president, then
presided over a short business ses-
sion, during which $14.17 was col-
lected for the March of Dimes.
Following a delectable covered
dish luncheon, Miss Nancy Maddox
and Miss Iris Davis, members of
the Wewahitchka 4-H Club, demon-
strated the use of honey, a home
product of Gulf county, as an in-
gredient in the making of salad
dressings, and Mrs. Estella Parra-
more, clothing chairman, displayed
a wide variety of clothing and
household articles made from feed
bags. She asked that each clothing
chairman of the various clubs pre-
sent a list at the next council meet-
ing of all sewing and handicraft
done by members.
The afternoon program featured
a talk by Dr. Canning, physician
from Wewahitchka, who was intro-
duced by Mrs. Ruby Gilbert, Gulf
county health nurse. Dr. Canning
gave some enlightening information
on cancer and led a discussion in
which several council members par-
,ticipated.
Present at the meeting were rep-
resentatives of the White City,
Overstreet and Jolly Circle Home
Demonstration Clubs, Rev. Lowry
and Sister Allen of Wewahitchk,a
Mrs. Flora Raymond of Republic,
Ohio, Mrs. James Faust and Mrs.
Oneill.

Our Country Right or Wrong


WILL IT BE LATE OR EARLY?
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.

TEN YEARS AGO
From the Files of The Star

To Organize Garden Circle
The'"departmeft of conservation
and beautification and the depart-
ment of American homes and gar-
dens of the Port St. Joe Woman's
Club held a meeting last week for
the purpose of organizing a garden
circle. 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.
Birth Announcements
Mr. and Mrs. Charles Brown of
this city announce the birth of a
daughter, Elizabeth Ann; born Fri-
day, January 24, at their home.
Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Lester an-
nounce the birth of a daughter on
January 27 at their home in High-
land View. She has been named
Diana.
New Teacher
James R. Black of Jacksonville
has been named as social science
instructor for the Port St. Joe high
school, replacing A. C. Parker, who


was called to California for mili-
tary service.
West Florida Gets. Air Station
Word comes out of Washington
that a new army air training sta-
tion is to be located between Port
St. Joe and Panama City. It is re-
ported that $2,000,000 will be spent
on preparing the field and housing
for the institution. The plans con-
template the purchase of 25,000
acres of land by'the government.

.Bye, Bye, Blackboard
It's Bye, Bye, Blackboard in the
modern school room. Green chalk
boards with yellow chalks take
their place. The innovation is rec-
ommended by the American Op-
tometric Association in the inter-
est of easier seeing. Blackboards
absorb too much light and cause
visual distortion.
------ -. ------
Again No Unemployed
During the week ending January
19, according to the state industrial
commission, there were no unem-
,ployed persons in Gulf county and,
consequently, no payments in the
way of unemployment compensa-
tion

Crow Not So Bad
Although ,manr.. farmers dislike
crows because they destroy corn,
these birds also help .the farmer
by eating many. iject pests. Scien-
tists have estimated that crows will
eat 19 bushels. f. insects in one
season on the average farm.

Former Florida Power
Manager Here Held On
Embezzlement Charge

J. C. 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.

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. She discovered that
the store was being supplied by
Mrs. W. B. Wilder of Oak Grove, so
she hied herself there to pick up a
bunch or two. In addition to the
onions, Mrs. Wilder presented her
with a large, firm head of lettuce,
which proved to be better than any
we had found in the local markets.
Those Oak Grove people really can
grow good vegetables.

shifted toward unity in foreign pol-
icy, Washington Columnist .Robert
Erwin writes in the Times-Unign.
"There are still letters of criti-
cism coming in," he says, "but they
deal more with issues than with
personalities. It is rare that one
comes in such as the one received
by Senator Holland saying 'Throw
out Acheson. Impeach Truman, and
I don't have much use for Secre-
tary of Defense George Marshall,
either'."
An aide to Senator Smathers said
he was not able to explain the
change which had come over Flor-
idians since the first of the year.
He reported that mail criticizing
Acheson had "dropped almost to
nothing."

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

in Traffic Coming Up


Cars in 50 Years Account for
As Many Fatalities As
Wars In 176 Years
A new Unknown Soldier-"GI-X"
-will soon fall on a Korean battle-
field as the millionth soldier to die
in all wars in U. 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.
