PORT ST. JOE A Progressive Community With a Modern, Progressive Weekly Newspaper L - THE STAR THE STAR Official Paper for Gulf County, Devoted To the Continued Development of the Entire County * "Port St. Joe -The Outlet Port for the Apalachicola-Chattahoochee Valley" VOLUME XIV FORT ST. JOE, FLORIDA" FRIDAY, MARCH 2, 1951 riUMBER 23 Gulf Red Cross Fund Campaign Now Underway County Quota Set At $1500, 52% of Which Will Be Used Locally Gulf county's 1951 Red Cross fund campaign got underway yesterday under the direction of Jos. V. Dowd of this city, chairman. Quota for the county this year is $1500, an in- crease over last year due to in- creased demands caused by the war in Korea. Of funds collected, 52% will be retained in Gulf county for local re- quirements, including such aids to service men and their families as emergency communications and re- ports, counseling in personal and family problems, verification of the need for emergency leave, financial assistance in emergencies, and in- formation regarding government benefits'and assistance in applying for them. The balance, or 42% of the sum raised in Gulf county, will go to the national Red Cross for varied re- quirements, such as disaster relief. During the past five years the state of Florida as a whole received the sum of $2,045,579.25 for disaster re- lief. For the same five-year period, the people of Florida contributed $1,748,242.51 to national headquar- ters, thus receiving $302,336.74 over what they contributed. When such facts as these are taken into consideration, points out Chairman Dowd, we can do nothing other than support the Red Cross fund drive. We May Be Stuck With Harry Again Amendment Barring Future Presi- idents From Serving More.Than Ten Years Becomes Law The 22nd amendment to the con- stitution, barring future presidents from serving more than two elec- tive terms or more than 10 years: in the White House, became the law of the land Monday night when Utah and Nevada-the 35th and 36th states to approve the amend- ment-voted for ratification. A ma- jority of three-fourths of the states was needed to make the amend- ment effective. However, sad to relate, it won't apply to Truman, who was specifjc- , ally exempted when congress sub- mitted the proposed amendment to the states in 1947. Outside the legal phraseology, here's what the amendment pro- vides: That a president may serve only two elected terms. A man who has served up to two years of, another president's unexpired term could still serve an additional eight years. But a vice-president succeeding to the presidency and serving more than two years before the term ex- pired would be eligible for election only once. Undergoes Appendectomy.

Starting on July 1, classes in ele- mentlary, secondary and-literacy ed- ucation will be in operation, pro- vided that enough students are en- rolled. All men and women in Gulf county who are not high school graduates will be eligible to attend these classes if they are over 18 years of age. There will be no charge for tu- ition or textbooks furnished, and present plans call for classes to.. meet twice a week for about two hours each night. Both white and colored groups will be formed. Purpose of this program is to bring about a decrease in the il- literacy rate in the county, and also to provide an opportunity for adults to complete their elementary and high school education. Special classes in almost any sub- ject can be organized if there are a sufficient number of potential stu- dents requesting this special train- ing. Director Magidson plans to en- list the aid of all civic organiza- tions and clubs in both Port St. Joe and Wewahitchka in helping to make a-concerted effort to enroll all eligible adults in the county-wide program.

JOE GARDEN CLUB If you have a ligustrum which is too large for its location or which has a straggly, ugly shape, you can recondition it by cutting it down practically to the ground. Leave about one foot of the old stems. It will come out thicker and much prettier. As you prune evergreens, put out -cuttings. Place them in a mixture of half sand and half peat moss and keep damp. They will root by late spring. Oleanders make prettier and more -shapely shrubs for being cut 'back' severely about. every three years, and now is a good time .to do,this, for cold weather has damaged.them to the 'extent that they will, not: bloom' this summer. :Any branch that you cut out on an oleander should be cut to the ground. Prune rose bushes, crepe myrtle, altheass, vitex and other plants which flower in the summer. Do not prune hydrangeas, weigela or spireas until after they bloom. HIGHLAND VIEW NEWS By MRS. CARL STEVENS Church Picnic A delightful picnic supper was held on the grounds of the Bayview Methodist Church Thursday evening ,of last week in the form of a ,wei- ner and marshmallow roast for the younger members and others as well.

The people of Port St. Joe and Wewahitchka know the value of agriculture; our farmers not only grow much of the food we pat, but they also come into town on Saturday and frequently through the week to buy their clothes, farm equipment. and other necessities from the local merchants. Much of the trade of the two cities of the county-their lifeblood-depends upon the far- mer. And for this reason, a little attention paid to our rural boys and girls, who 'will be full- fledged farmers and farm homemakers five to ten years from now, is not inappropriate. What are the high points of the 4-H Club mem- bers' observance this year? First, there's the matter of thrift. Thrift is a virtue for both the farm and the city youth. But we are especially dependent upon the thrift of the farm boy, for unless he learns early the les- son of thrift in crop rotation and cover crop prac- tices-in short, the scientific knowledge required for producing Florida's vegetable, field crops, meat and citrus-all of us would see the differ- -ence on our dinner table in a short time. Second, the farm boy and girl are pledging themselves to better understanding of world af- fairs. What's happening in Korea is a long way from here, but some of our Gulf county farm boys are fighting in Korea today. A healthy farm boy or girl who has raised a prize pig or heifer, or produced a record field or vegetable crop isn't likely to become a Com- munist. In fact, such a youngster who has learned to produce with his own hands and who knows the fruit of his own work, is just about as far away from becoming a disciple of totalitarian government as he can get. But in order to better fight the insidious spread of Communism our farm boy and girl must have an understanding of world affairs. So The' Star congratulates the farm boys and girls of Gulf county upon their program for the week. And we'll be mighty proud of them when they become in their own right the full-fledged farmers and rural homemakers of our county. We've just discovered why the people of Ver- mont live to such ripe old ages. When they reach a certain age they are put in a snowbank every winter and frozen, then thawed out in the spring, thus adding many months or years to their time for living. LET'S MOVE ON REDISTRICTING Florida has been officially notified that it is entitled to two additional seats-a total of eight- in the house of representatives in congress. Seats in the house are distributed among the states on the basis of population. Florida grew more rapidly than all but two of the states in the Union, between the 1940 and 1950 census, and the ad- ditional seats were allotted in recognition of this rapid growth. It is now up to Florida to decide in what man- ner the. new representatives shall be chosen. i. Two courses are open. The seats can be filled on a state-wide or at-large basis, or they can be filled by dividing the state into eight instead of the present six congressional districts. The easy way out would be the use. of the at- large method. But that could not correct the in- equitable situation which now exists. Moreover, as Florida's six congressmen-have pointed out in a joint statement to leaders of the Florida legis- lature, members elected at-large frequently lose seniority in the house through subsequent re- districting. The allotment of two additional seats provides an opportunity for a fair division of the state into eight congressional districts having comparatively equal populations. The responsibility for taking advantage of it rests with the 1951 legislature. Its leaders should get to work now on a sound plan for redistricting the state so it can be pre- sented when the legislature convenes in April. If they don't, Floridians should be prepared to step in and demand prompt action.-The Tampa Tribune. A WAY IN AND OUT The public of Florida has just awakened to the fact that it has untold riches in its back yard -in its public parks and recreation grounds, But the tragedy is that so few people can get to them today. The state road department has taken a forward lookifig view of this problem. Authorized and di- rected by the 1949 legislature to construct roads to and from state parks, the road department has planned to open up as many of these valuable areas this year as its budget will permit. Along with access roads, the department and the park board .together are planning many more wayside parks, where the people may pause for picnics, for a rest, or to break their journey. Some of these facilities will fit into major state parks, as an added attraction. This happy combination of roads and parks guarantees that before many more years have passed, the people of Florida and their guests can have a way in and a way out of public rec- reation areas, a way to and from the few remain- ing miles of public beach on Florida's shore, a way to get to places to enjoy Mother Nature in her most exuberant moods. For these blessings the public will give thanks. We're glad to see that a two-thirds majority of the states have ratified the anti-third term for president constitutional amendment. Too bad it couldn't have been passed sooner to prevent your friend Harry from-seeking another four-year lease on the White House. However, the fact that the Amendment has been ratified may have a sort of psychological effect and act to prevent him from receiving sufficient electoral votes to be returned to office. The man who is too big for his britches is generally exposed at both ends. Trade with your home-town merchants.

"Consolidation of collection agencies would save the stale $3,- 000,000 a year," he said. Referring to the state's welfare program, Gay emphasized that he was strongly in favor-of taking care of the needy and the dependent, but that care should be taken that the program is not abused. "If this program gets out of hand," he said, 1 "it could sap the income of our state. It already has grown from nothing to $50,000,000 within the past fifteen years." He added that this program of welfare spending should skyrocket during times of prosperity is an alarming situation.
