PORT ST. JOE A Progressive Community With a Modern, Progressive Weekly Newspaper L THE STAR "Port St. Joe -The Outlet Port for the Apalachicola-Chattahoochee Valley" -THE STAR Official Paper for Gulf County, Devoted To the Continued.Development of the Entire County ___ | VOLUME XIV FORT ST. JOE, FLORIDA, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 1951 NUMBER 22 Welfare Grants Biggest Burden of Florida Taxpayer Amount Spent Last Year Ex- ceeded Entire Budget of Twenty Years Ago Florida's state governmental ex- penditures have soared 628% in the past two decades, and the $49,- 881,185 spent on welfare during the past fiscal year exceeded by over $8,500,000 the entire annual budget for Florida 20 years ago. The $41,347,185 spent by the state during the year ending in July of 1930 is comparatively puny beside the $259,735,968 disbursed during the fiscal year of 1950. The greater part of the 1950 funds went for welfare payments, state hospitals and sanitation, -highway construction, schools and institu- tions of higher learning, and aid to cities and counties. In fact, without these items, costing $206,476,810, the state would have operated on a budget totaling a mere $53,000,000. During the 20 years that expendi- tures rose 628%, Florida's popula- tion. approximately doubled, grow- ing from 1,468,211 in 1930 to 2,734,- 116 in 1950. A more nebulous fac- tor, however, is the value of today's dollar as compared with that of 1930. According to State Comptroller C.- M. Gay's fI..iur. Fl.,i ; spent $2596735,968; d.rin-' tie I'K, fiscal year. Most of this (66.9%) was used for such operating expenses as hospitals, correctional institu- tions, road building and higher learning. Largest whack, however, went to the welfare program, which spent $49,881,185. Counties received 29% of the $259,- 735,968 in the form of direct aid. Largest benefactor was the county public schools, which received $47,- (Continued on page 9) Old-Fashioned Box Supper To Be Staged By Rebekah Lodge Staged in the second half of the twentieth century, an old-fashioned idea turns sophisticated when Mel- ody Rebekah Lodge No. 22 of this city sponsors a box social Saturday night, March 3, at 8 o'clock in the Centennial Auditorium.

Inaugurate Pension Plan for Employes of Paper Company Workers With Ten Or More Years of Service May Retire At 65 Harry H. Saunders, production manager of the St. Joe Paper Com- pany, announced yesterday that a. pension plan has been inaugurated by-agreement with the local Broth- erhoods of Paper Makers, Electrical Workers and Machinists for all of the employes they represent and all other hourly paid employes. This plan was made retroactive to January 1, 1951, and enables ari employee who has reached the age of 65 and who has had ten or; more years service, to retire and receive the benefits of the pension plan. The benefits provided by this pen- sion plan are in addition to any benefits that the employee may be provided by the federal old age benefit act, commonly referred to as social security. The plan is unique in that the. company pays the entire cost. The. employee does not have to make any contributions. In addition to paying- the entire cost of the pension plan, the company also pays 50 per cent of the cost for the retirement and other benefits that each employee' will receive under the social secur- ity act. The pension is based on the num- ber of years of service and-the ac-. tual earnings of the employee dur- ing such years. The plan further provides that any employee may, with the consent of the company, retire after he has: attained the age of 55 and has had 25 or more years of service. The plan also provides that any employee may, upon becoming of pension age, elect to have a reduced benefit and have it guaranteed for (Continued on page 9) Kiwanis Thanks Governor For Aid In Having Dust On Monument Avenue Laid -When work was stopped on the widening of Monument Avenue a. short time back, due to the cold' weather, residents along the street: were informed they would have to- bear the dust clouds until spring.

JOE GARDEN CLUB * The Gard Club has decided to ex- tend the "Better Yards" contest to a full year, and so the contest will now end next fall. At the last meeting of the Gladi- olus Circle, Mrs. J. C. Belin gave some helpful hints about caladium- growing. They should be planted two inches deep and about twelve inches apart when all danger of frost is over. Work ill some well- rotted manure before planting. Work the soil around them frequently and fertilize and water them often. The colors are prettier in the shade than in full sun. When the foliage dies - in the fall, dig them up if you want to increase your stock, otherwise they may be left in the ground. Store the bulbs where air will cir- culate; for example, hang 'them in' mesh orange bags. When the bulbs begin to sprout, cut the bulbs up with one eye on each piece and set out. These bulbs are so colorful and so easy to grow that everyone should grow them. They will give color in the yard through the hot months when most of the annuals are gone. MRS. W. S.

Our Country Right or Wrong TABLOID PAPERS MOST POPULAR Tabloidg.newspapers similar to The Star are popular with advertising men, if the opinion of .a group of adveijising men expressed at a recent greeting counts for anything. At a get-together of leading figures in adver- tising on the west coast, from Alaska to Mexico and a few from the middle west and east, opin- ions were solicited, and these experts favored the tabloid. They stated the tabloid size paper was becoming predominant throughout the' nation and that advertisers liked it because it h.ad been found that a quarter-page advertisement showed up better than a like size space in a standard sheet because it had less to compete with. - Easier-to-handle qualities of the tabloid were also stressed, It was pointed out that readers do not get lost, and in a larger page there is more tendency to miss some important news hidden in -a crowd of items.

Myers, assist- ant vegetable crops specialist with the University of Florida agricul- tural extension service. Broccoli, cabbage, lettuce, onions, and potatoes may be planted in gardens in all sections of the state now. The tenderer vegetables, such as sweet corn, beans, tomatoes, and cantaloupes, may be planted now in the southern and central sections of Florida and in northern Florida after March 1. Frosts, may come after such .vegetables are planted, but it has generally been considered fairly safe .to plant them according to that schedule. Among varieties recommended by the extension service, worker for, ood.yields and other desirable. factors..are contender snap beans,1 concentrated lima beans, bonanza cabbage, Florida market eggplant, Smitlh's perfect cantaloupes, :aeneca sweet corn, palmetto cucumbers, grano onions, iceburg lettuce, and manahill, manasota, rutgers, gro- the s globe, and stokesdale toma- Myers also offered these sug- gestions to gardeners: Apply from one half to one pound of 4-7-5 fertilizer per 10 feet of garden row in bands two inches below the surface and two to three inches to the side of the plant furrow. It previous experience has shown heavy root-knot infestation, fumi- gate the soil with one of the prep- arations on the market for this pur- pose. Fumigate at least three weeks before planting. Apply spergon to seed before planting to reduce seed-borne dis- eases. Placing the seed in a con- tainer in which there is a small * amount of spergon and shaking them is an easy way to do this job.

The action of the house in approving legislation to put into ef- fect the treasury plan for handling maturing Series E Savings Bonds, -beginning May 1, 1951, is important news to all of us in this time of emergency. Under this plan, the holder will have the choice of: 1-Accepting cash, if he so de- sires. Bonds are cashable at any time; or 2--Continuing to hold his present bond, with an automatic interest- bearing extension. Owners who ex- ercise this extension privilege will receivep2% simple interest for all interest during the final 2% years of the extension will. bring the total interest to 2.9% ,oqmpo.unded; or 3--Exehange his -i mattred- bond for a cuurernt'incorie Series G. Say- fnga uiOnk. .:. : I This legislation should make sav- ings bonds more attractive than ever before as a vehicle for the fu- ture prosperity of individuals, com- munities and the'nation as a whole. A savings bond purchaser will re- ceive 78% more than his original investment by holding his bond to maturity and then taking full ad- vantage of his extension privilege for another 10 years. Dollar-wise, this means that a savings bond buyer has the opportunity to re- ceive $133.33 for the bond he origin- ally purchased for $75.

The implication is that most of us give ourselves little or no time for breakfast, which is considered by many doctors and nutritionists as the most important meal of the day. While cartoonists may exaggerate a bit, it is true that many of us, especially city-dwellers with jobs, habitually neglect eating a proper breakfast. Breakfast is uninterest- ing, unimportant, and time-consum- ing to some people, and many ,seem to feel that they have the remainder of, the day to make up nutritional needs. -: .. However, nutritionists warn us' that breakfast i-ean important meal and should constitute from one- fourth to a third of the day's intake of food. Nutrition experts point out that, ordinarily,. the stretch from dinner in the evening to breakfast the following morning is the long' est period in which the body goes without food, and nourishment is needed early in the morning. As a matter of fact, the person who skips breakfast and waits 'till lunch can be "loosing" every For Safety's Sake get our BRAKE ADJUSTMENT SPECIAL morning of his working day in terms of production and enjoyment.

Like all meals, a "good break- fast" doesn't necessarily mean a great deal of food, but rather a well- balanced menu of "energy foods" and .those which build, tissue and supply vitamins and minerals. A satisfactory breakfast, one that can give a person a good start for the day's tasks, can consist of fruit or fruit juice, an egg, milk, bread, GULF COUNTY Boys 4-H Club Meetings we g0 0 0Se0 go S *004 Kenney's Mill- Saturday before second and fourth Sundays, 9 a. m.

Price of these pre-game ducats will be $1.50 for adults and 75c for school children, permitting the holder to see all eight games. "After the tournament begins," says Doc, "the patrons will be re- quired to pay the full price of 50c and 25c per night. There will be two games each night, and fans will *4ave an opportunity of seeing all of the contests at a real saving." The tournament is being spon- sored by the Kiwanis Club to raise funds for its boys' and girls' work. The Nortonettes and men's Inde- pendent teams are winding up an- other very good season and those who have seen the local lads in ac- tion against the top competition in this section know that West Flor- ida cage fans are in for a real bas- ketball treat. "There are positively no $1000 'fixes,' either," says Doc King. PENSION PLAN (Continued from page 1) the joint lifetime of himself and his wife. "No employee should feel that the St. Joe Paper Company is trying to take over the whole job of his fu- ture security," said Saunders. "Am- erica has become great through the efforts of individuals to help them- selves. The company feels that each employee should have a responsibil- ity to provide some security for himself." It is expected that the paper com- pany will announce within the next few months a pension plan for its salaried employes.

The cities were given a 2.6% slice of the tax pie, most of this $6,844,- 563 contribution being made pos- sible by the cigaret tax law. Most of the $259,735,968 spent by the state in 1950 came from close at home- roughly 70% was derived directly from state taxation, while the rest came from the federal gov- ernment, retirement, collections and other miscellaneous sources. Placing Florida's 1950 revenue statistics in a nutshell, the state re- ceived $263,521,903, of which $185,- 669,846, or 70.5%, resulted directly from state taxation. Among the state's largest sources of revenue were the gasoline tax with $50,836,322, the limited sales tax with $23,596,081, the beverage tax with $23,838,159; the cigaret tax with $15,180,236, and the racing tax with $13,191,749. State Comptroller Gay and State Budget Director Homer Graham are in agreement on one point the cost of Florida government would be painless to the taxpayer were it not for the tremendous outlay rep- resented by welfare payments, state hospitals and sanitation, schools and institutions of higher learning, highway construction and aid to cities and counties.

STruman Skit Subject At Press Breakfast Members of Florida Fourth Estate Also Rib Governor Warren and the Kefauver Investigation Once a year newspaper men and women gather at Winter Haven, during the Florida Orange Exposi- tion for the annual "press break- fast. The skits and gags that make up the non-professional entertain- ment are written by the newspaper men themselves and the casts are made up of such amateur actors as are available in the ranks of the Fourth Estate. While the show is "off the rec- ord" there are always a number of songs featured in the skits, and the theme song at the 1951 breakfast held last Friday was "The Thing." Two verses dealing with President Truman amused the crowd, and if you know the tune of "The Thing" you might try,these words: Now Harry is a letter man, He likes to write his own, And every time he gets a chance He'll sneak off alone And write some bozo he-don't like. He says just what he thinks. He'll call a critic a BAM-BAM-BAM And tell the guy he stinks. The cost of living's going up, The dollar value down, A steak that used to cost a buck Is now twice that a pound. But Harry laughs and says "Ha, ha, You ain't seen nuthin' yet- I'll put a tax on your BAM-BAM- BAM. And brother, then you'll sweat!". Switching the spotlight to the Ke- fauver investigation, another verse went like this: A sheriff's job is mighty nice When things are. going well, But senators investigate And give the sheriff hell. They ask him this and ask him that And give him dirty looks, But he won't tell 'em a BAM-BAM- BAM Or open up his books. Tribute was paid to Governor Ful- ler Warren in another verse: Now Fuller used to speak right up Before he'd stop to think, And say some things that weren't so hot When they reached printer's ink. But lately he has watched his step And thinks before he speaks- He hasn't uttered a BAM-BAM-BAM For weeks and weeks and weeks. There were some other good ones but, unfortunately, space doesn't permit their use. The show is all in fun and politicians who attend don't inind the ribbing and come back every year for more." CIRCUIT COURT (Continued from page 1) defendant furnished the court with an affidavit from a Panama City doctor that he is in the hospital. Atcions at law brought by Frank & Dot's Agency and the Gulf Hard- ware & Supply Company against Ben Williams were also held over to the fall term when the defendant sent an affidavit from Dr. A. L. Ward stating that he was going to the hospital Wednesday for an ap- pendectomy. Scheduled to be heard yesterday was an action at law between G. C. Wade and Wenman Wade of We- wahitchka, and today the case of the State of Florida vs. Lenondrous Newkirk, colored, of Port St.. Joe, charged with throwing a missile into a dwelling house. Venison to some is the most highly-prized wild game. Gulf People Buy Defense Bonds During the month of January the people of Gulf county bought a to- tal of $5,156 in Series E.
