SCongressmen Urge State Redistricting Delegation Points Out Congress- men-At-Large Probably Would Be "Green" At Job Florida's six congressmen have written letters to Wallace Sturgis, president of the senate; B. Elliott, speaker of the house. and Tallahas- see leaders urging that the legisla- t ture redistrict the state at the com- Sing 1951 session. Should redistricting of the state not be attempted now, the congres- sional delegation argues, the two new congressmen-at-large. probably "green" on the job, would not be able to give adequate service to the voters on a statewide basis. They go on to point out that it would be probable, too, that as con- gressmen-at-large they might be de- feated when the state finally was redistricted, either by a strong con- tender popular in the two new dis- tricts or by a sitting member. It t was pointed out in the letters that by redistricting now the delegation would be in much better position to increase its seniority rating. In writing in his "Washington i Treadmill," Frank Kennedy pointed out that the letters omitted one ar- gumpnt in the forefront of the signers' minds. The candidate at large, if redistricting is not accom- plished, might not be gunning for a permanent job as congressman at all. They merely might be setting * themselves up to run for some * other office on the stalte.'allotin 1952 and, as congressmen-at-large, - they would have the advantage over - other candidates for statewide of- , fices in the way of free mailing - privileges of their congressional - franks.

I I Doctor Tells Kiwanis of Tribal Customs of African Natives Wewahitchka Medic Guest Speaker At Wednesday Meeting of Civic Club By HARRY McKNIGHT Guest speaker at the Wednesday luncheon meeting of the Port St. Joe Kiwanis Club, held at Hotel St. Joe, was Dr. Harold Canning of We- wahitchka, and recently of Daytona Beach. Dr. Canning. who was reared in Atlanta. Ga., received his higher ed- ucation in Philadelphia and served his interneship in New York, after practicing for a time in South Caro- lina. was sent by the Baptist for- eign mission board to West Africa. He spent several years in Nigeria where he became well acquainted with the customs and tribal laws of most of the 132 tribes there, as his work was largely among the bush- men. "These people are unspoiled by the white man, and they are to be admired for their loyalty and devo- tion to their friends," said Dr. Can- ning.

During the past few weeks heavy frosts have killed back grass and other vegetation, leaving fields and woods in a more inflammable con- dition than they have been in years, says Co*tnty Ranger Alton Hardy. "A burning match or cigaret or cigar butt carelessly thrown from an auto onto the tinder-dry grass at the roadside," he said, "may start a fire that will be out of control in a matter of minutes and sweep over hundreds of acres of forest before it can be stopped." To guard against such a contin- gency, Hardy urges all motorists to dispose of their cigarets, cigars and matches in the ash trays in their cars. To farmers the ranger empha- sizes the importance of wide fire- breaks around forested areas to protect the trees from outside fires, and other firebreaks within the areas to protect parts of them from fires that may get started among the trees. "Farmers who do not have firebreaks now. will do well to ;et out their tractors and discing equipment and establish such bar- riers as soon as possible," he said. Young planted forests especially leed firebreak protection, Hardy pointed out, as even a slow, creep- ing fire may wipe out such plant- ings in a few hours at night. "Fires that break out under-con- ditions such as we have at this time in the woods of Gulf county," he as- serted, "not only injure om kill sap- lings and older trees, but they de- stroy thousands of tiny seedlings that have not had time to grow above the grass." ----------- WRONG IMPRESSION A lot of people seem, to be under the impression that The StAr does not take news after Wednesday noon. Don't know how this ru- mor started, but we will even take news up to 10 a. m. Thursday-if it is important and we've got space. Naturally, we'd much rather have it by Wednesday, if possible., Hazel Burnette Named Festival Queen Entry Junior Woman's Club Entry Is One of 37 Contestants At Winter Haven Citrus Festival WhileMiss Hazel Burnette of this city didn't get into the finals, she at least had a wonderful time at the Winter Haven Citrus Festival wliere she went as Miss Port St.'Joe and was among 37 beautiful young wo- men competing for the title "Queen of.Florida's 1951 Orange Festival," plus $500 in prizes, a week-end in Miami and, a trip by air to New York to make a tour of northern citrus markets. Miss Barnette was selected at a beauty pageant staged at the Port Theater Thursday evening of last week, which was sponsored by the Port St. Joe Junior Woman's Club. Miss Virginia Gloekler was runner- up for the title of Miss Port St. Joe. Expenses of St. Joe's queen were underwritten by the following pro- gressive firms: Rich's Super-Mar- ket, Mouchette's Style Shop, Gar- raway Chevrolet Company. Webb's 5 & 10c Store, St. Joe Supply Com- pany, Barrier & Wimberly Pontiac Company, St. Joe Motor Company, Pate's Shell Station, St. Joe Paper Company, White Spot, Loyal Order of Moose and the Kiwanis Club. Contributing prizes to the- local affair were Lilius Jewelry, Mabel's Beauty Shop, Jean's Beauty Shop, Wilks Jewelry, Fan's Flowers and Maige Photo, Lab. The:Junior Woman's Club desires to express appreciation to all those who aided in making this beauty pageant possible. March of Dimes Hits $800 Mark Chairman Frary Urges All of Those Who Have Not Contributed To Do So At Once T. G. Frary, chairman of the Gulf county March of Dimes campaign, announces that a total of $823.27 has been collected to date and that he will continue the drive a short while longer in order to give those who have not yet contributed an op- portunity to do so. Anyone with a contribution yet to make may mail or hand it to Mr. Frary. The chairman reports that the benefit basketball game here netted $88.76; the school children of tha county collected $153.06; the Port Theater, including its donation, col- lected $25.83, and that the March of Dimes coin cards and coin collec- tors brought in the balance. Of the total, $134.22 was collected in Wewahitchka, under the direc- tion of Mrs. Dave Gaskin, and the balance of $689.05 was raised in Port St. Joe. Mr. Frary reports that the colored people of Port St. Joe, under the di- rection of Rev. Price and the minis- terial association, did an excellent job in raising $111.36 of the total. Visiting In North Carolina Mrs. J. J. Clements left Monday for Lafayetville, N. C., where she will visit with her daughter and hus- band, Pvt. and Mrs. Ralph Plair, the former being stationed at Fort Bragg. Red Cross Chairman Joseph V. Dowd, we have been in- formed, has accepted the chairman- ship of the annual fund drive for the Red Cross in Gulf county, to be staged next month. t Early Morning Blast Wrecks Car Of Union Agent Owner Working for Union Representation for Lum- ber Mill Workers Residents of Port St. Joe within a mile radius from the business sec- tion of the city were awakened at 1:50 a. m. Monday morning by a terrific blast which was caused by what is believed to have been a dy- namite bomb placed under the 1949 Mercury sedan belonging to Grady Morton of Montgomery, Ala., parked in front of the Lawson Ho- tel at the corner of Reid Avenue and Third Street. Morton, who came here about a week previously as a representa- tive of the United Construction Workers (UMW) to assist workers of the St. Joe Lumber & Export Company to gain union recognition from the mill operators., was stay- ing at the hotel. -He said he had no idea why anyone would want to de- molish his car. The car was almost a total wreck, the bottom being blown out, the windshield shattered. all the doors' sprung and the rear view window blown completely out. The plate glass windows of the hotel and the Wilks jewelry store were shattered, as were the win- dows on the second stor'y -of the building. Windows in the Moose lodge building across the avenue were also broken, as was one win- dow in Doc Morton's hot doggery adjoining the Lawson building. Mr. and Mrs. Lawson, who have their living quarters in the rear of their building, were of two differ- ent opinions, when they heard the explosion. Mrs. L. thought it came from Pate's Shell Station at the corner of Third Street and Monu- ment Avenue, while Mr. L, when he heard the shattered glass hit the sidewalk, thought two cars had col- lided and ran into the front of the building. Don Brock. employee of The Star, who, you might say, had a bedside seat at the explosion, since his room in the Lawson Hotel was directly above Morton's car and hd was read- ing at the time, said: "It was the (Continued rn p:-ge 8) Boyles Has It But Not At That Low Price Glenn Boyles, who always tries to crowd as many items into his ads as, possible and wants 'em all in BIG type, this week pulled a boner. When checking proof on his ad for this week, which you will find on page 3, he yelled about the small prices on Quadriga Cloth (whatever that is), and Butcher Type Rayon Linen. "Let's put a big One Dollar after those two," said Glenn-which we did, a- you wil' note. Then when he got his handbills (printed from the ad) he discovered that he was of- fering 3 yards of the Butcher Linen for $1 when it should be 3 yards for S2. So don't get excited, ladies, when you read his Dollar Days ad in this issue-that Butcher Linen at 3 yards for $1 is 'way be- low cost, and while Glenn has it, he just can't sell it at that price. --------------- Visit In Blountstown Mr. and Mrs. Floyd Roberts and children spent Saturday in Blounts- town visiting relatives and friends.

Our Country Right or Wrong WE NEED NATURAL GAS The recent sub-freezing weather we have had, and may have again before this winter is over, together with the "sick" railroad strike, indicates the need of a dependable source of fuel for this section.' Many residents of Port St. Joe, including the editor, ran completely out of "bottle gas" and had to rely upon any means at hand to heat their homes and cook. And a. lot of homeowners, even if they had bottle gas, found that the pipes re- mained frozen well up into the day. Had there been a supply of natural gas in the city, nothing like this would have occurred. - Of course those who. relied upon electricity had nothing like this to contend with, but many an unfortunate housewife done her cooking over- a kerosene stove or heater, or on a wood-burning heater.

Among the first bil ls for introduction is one to. establish a civil defense agency, giving the governor powers of military law in the event of emergency. State Senator John Branch of .Tampa proposes to fix top civilian speed limits at 65 miles per hour for pleasure cars, lower speeds for trucks and buses.

THE STAR, PORT ST. JOE, GULF COUNTY, FLOOR EARLY MORNING BLAST (Crontiued from page 1) biggest noise I ever heard. I had just reached the end of a chapter l when the thing went off. I don't \ remember too well how it sounded, but it FELT rough. Seemed like the explosion lasted a long time- anyway, I had time to check the ceiling; I was sure it would be fall- ing in my face. "After the blast, and when the glass stopped falling out of the win- dows, everything was so quiet you could hear the plaster dust falling. "About the first thing I thought of was that a Southeastern Pipeline Corporation storage tank had gone up, so I went to the rear of the ho- 4 tel to check. Since there was no sign of flames in that direction and I could smell the powder smoke by that time, I put on my shoes and joined the others who had gotten up. and we found the shattered car out front." Chief of Police Buck Griffin says he has no leads on the case and that the culprit or culprits will probably never be apprehended.

Therefore I believe that it would be impos- sible to set up an independent gov- ernment in Nigeria, were the Brit- ish crown to grant it. Many differ- ent nations, but especially Great Britain, are exploiting these people shamelessly, and the Communists are spreading their doctrine rapidly as a result." The speaker dwelt a bit on the marital customs'of the people and did not hide the fact that the tribal laws practically made Mrs. Canning his servant. The doctor delighted club mem- bers with his descriptive talk and displayed a number of articles he had brought with him, including his tribal robes and gear. Fine ebony carvings, beadwork, fans and weav- ing were a credit to the craftsman- ship of these people who are com- monly referred to as "savages." Ac- cording to Dr. Canning, they coun- ter most of the white- man's well- meant impositions with good plain horsee sense." Other guests of the club were Paul Player, new manager of the Port Theater, and Tommy Owens Jr.. who is soon to enter the U. S. Air Force. Dr. Bob King stated that arrange- * ments have been definitely made to 'hold an invitational basketball tour- nament here March 14 to 17 and E E that eight teams are 'being invited to participate.
