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.

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. "Fierce and fearless in com-

Heavy Freeze Creates

Greater Fire Danger

County Ranger Urges Everyone To
Be Careful of Cigarets? Cigars
* and Brush Burning!

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.,

announces that a total of $823.27
has been collected to date and that

lected $25.83, and that the March of

tion of Mrs. Dave Gaskin, and the
balance of $689.05 was raised in
Port St. Joe.

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

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.

GARDEN NOTES
PORT ST. JOE GARDEN CLUB

Due to the cold weather the date
of the flower show has been ad-
vanced to May 5 and 6, which will
give everyone time to grow plants

ley a flower show with an oriental
theme has been planned. Not only
GFrden Club members, but every-
one is urged to plant seedsand
bulbs for the show.
Here is a list of annuals which
may be planted now: Alyssum, blue
lace flower, balsam, celosia, butter-
fly flower, Chinese forget-me-not,
chrysanthemum, cosmos, godetia,
floss flower, globe amaranth, mari-
gold, lobelis, morning glory, moss
rose, nasturtium, petunia, orange
African daisy, phlox, pinks, straw-
flower, sunflower, torentia, zinnia.
If you want to grow snapdragons,
petunias, cornflowers larkspur or
carnations, you should buy plants
already started, as it is too late to
plant them.
Start putting out gladiolus bulbs.
Plant every two weeks for a suc-
cession of bloom. Dutch iris, Phil-
ippine lilies, callas and gloriosa
lilies may be put out now.

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. One couple we know prepared their meals
in an open fireplace and set up their bed in the
living room where they could have warmth from
the fireplace,
'The United Gas Pipeline Company, through a
subsidiary, the Atlantic Gulf Gas Company, has
been endeavoring to secure permission from the
federal power commission to build approximately
.1,731 miles of natural gas pipeline from souiither i
Louisiana to Charleston, Savannah and Jackson-
ville, which would also serve the intermediate
territory in northern Florida, including Port St.
Joe, southern Alabama and Georgia aind South

State Defense To

Be Main Problem.

Of Legislature

Numerous Bill Already Are
Being Prepared for Open-
ing of Session In April

By KENNETH BALLINGER
TALLAHASSEE, Feb. 15-as war
,clouds continue to drop, the Florida
legislature, meeting. in April, gives
evidence of shaping its main efforts
at putting the state on an emer-


agency footing. 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.
Led by Senator Henry Baynard of
St. Petersburg. an embattled group
will seek majdr amendments to the
66-year-old constitution, chiefly to
let the legislature assemble on pe-
tition of two-thirds of its members,
instead of depending as now only
on the call of the governor.
Labor leaders hope to increase
jobless insurance to 26 weeks and
,$30, a further advance into the wel-
fare state.
Representative Richard H. Simp-
son, Jefferson, and Representative
Ed Kirkland, Orange, would set
'$1000 as the maximum an individual
can donate to any one political
campaign.
Main issue in the next session
will be where-and how-to get
more money, notably for schools,
partly for civil defense, as Senator

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.

DOCTOR TELLS KIWANIS
(Continued from page 1)
bat. each tribe will recognize only
its own sovereignty, and woe to the
outsider who encroaches. 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. These teams will .
bring to Port St. Joe some of the
state's finest cage talent, and no 1 25% Longer Milea
sports fan can afford to miss the
real treat of seeing top artists per- Same High Qualil
form.
Interest in the meet is high, and Same Tread Desi
the city is co-operating in making
the Centennial Auditorium ship- 0 Same Tread De|
shape for the events. /
"We want to give the people of Same Tread W
West Florida an opportunity they New Tire Gua
