Port St. Joe May

Get Natural Gas

In Near Future


City Plans Municipally-Oper-
ated System if Company
Gets Go-Ahead Signal

Good news for residents of Port
St. Joe and surrounding communi-
ties came out of Cairo, Ga., late last,
week with announcement 'that the
Atlantic Gulf Natural Gas Company,
which has had a petition before the
federal power commission for the
past two and a half years asking
for a permit to build a gas line from
fields in Louisiana through this sec-
of Florida and terminate in Savan-
nah, Ga., has been granted a con-
ditional certificate by the FPC. J.
L. Sharit attended the Cairo meet-
ing on behalf of the city of Port St.
Joe.
The commission has given the
gas company until May 14 to se-
cure contracts to take sufficient
gas to warrant construction of the
line. Final hearing on the applica-
tion will be held on May 14 by the
commission.
A survey of possible users of na-
tural gas in Port St. Joe and vicin-
ity was made a, year or more ago
by the city, and at its meeting Tues-
day night the board of city commis-
sioners passed a resolution inform-
ing the Atlantic Gulf company that
when and if the line comes through
the city of Port St. Joe will con-
struct and operate its own distribu-
tion system.
Last Monday in Washington,,Rep-
resentative Charles E. Bennett of

The FPC, in ordering the final
hearing on May 14, said Atlantic
Gulf "must introduce evidence of
firm commitments for sufficient
sale of its pipeline capacity to show
convincingly that it is able to fi-
nance and construct the proposed
facility and that the project will be
economically feasible."

Purvis Howell Recuperating .
Word has been received that Pur-

day at a Pensacola hospital.


During a heavy thunder and rain
storm Monday the small community
of Overstreet in the western part
of Gulf county was struck by a tor-
nado that wrecked practically every
building in the area, and continued
eastward through Honeyville in the
northern part of the county. Only
damage to that area was to trees,
the storm striking a bit south of
Honeyville.
The twister, apparently coming
in off the Gulf of Mexico, hit Over-
street about 12:30 p. m., cutting a
swath across the pinelands before
reaching the community.
The building occupied by a store
and the Overstreet postoffice, op-
erated by Mrs. Roland Hardy, had
the corrugated iron roof torn off,
one corner of the building shoved'
to the front and most of the win-
dows blown out. Mrs. Hardy,. who
had just gone home for lunch at
the time, reports that considerable
damage was done to the store stock
by the deluge of rain. "The sky was
almost black," she said, "and with
the darkness, the pouring rain and
the heavy wind, not to mention the
timbers', sections of metal roofing
and tree branches hurtling through
the air, I really thought my time
had come."
The roof of the Hardy home, a
short distance from the postoffice,
was paitialoy torn off, shingles were
ripped off and trees in the yard up-
rooted.
The home of Mrs. T. L. Patrick
near the postoffice building, went
almost unscathed, having a couple
of windows broken out, but trees
standing near it were twisted and

According to this report, deliber-
ately set fires and carelessness in
burning brush, fields and woods
pastures were the two principal
causes for the large number of fires
and the great damage done.
"It is the responsibility of every-
one to help prevent these fires from
starting,"-says Moore, "as everyone
loses because of the damage done
by them, and I would like to cau--
tion everyone to be more careful
with fire at all times."

District Director Is Speaker Presbyterian Women


At Garden Club Meeting
Mrs. E. P. Scholz, district direc-
tor of garden clubs, was the guest
speaker at the joTfn meeting of cir-
cles of the Port St. Joe Garden Club
held at Hotel St. Joe Thursday af-
ternoon of last week. Mrs. J: C. Ar-
bogast presided in the absence of
the president, Mrs. Lee Graham Jr.
During a brief business session
the following officers for the com-
ing year were elected: Mrs. J. C.
Arbogast, president; Mrs. Roy Hall-
man, vice-president; Mrs. J. C. Be-
lin, secretary; Mrs. I. C. Nedley,
treasurer.
Mrs. Scholz gave a very interest-
ing and inspiring talk about the
part the garden clubs of the state
have played in the conservation of
birds and plant life and of the beau-
tification programs sponsored by
the clubs. She also gave some help-
ful hints on landscaping, her pet
subject, and soil conditioning. She
said our soils lack humus, which
can be supplied by adding manure
or compost. With a mixture of one-
half soil, one-fourth manure or or-
ganic material, and one-fourth peat
moss, almost anything can be grown
in Florida. Frequent- light, applica-
tions of complete plant food are
best, she pointed out.
Mrs. W. A. Daffin of Pensacola,
who assisted in organizing the St.
Joe club, was a guest.

WINS


AGAIN !"


Again this year .. it's high honors for Ford! In the
most important economy trial for American stock
model cars ... the famous annual Mobilgas Economy
Run ... A Ford 100-h.p. V-8 equipped with Over-
drive took first place competing against all cars
in its price class, making 54.587 ton-miles per
gallon* and 25.994 miles per gallon. And its com-
panion in quality, the new Ford SIX with Overdrive,
was right up there with the winner. In fact, both
cars averaged better than 25.9 miles per gallon.
Traditional Ford economy, for the second straight
year, has been proved in open competition. Proved
on the tough 840-mile grind from Los Angeles to the
Grand Canyon a course that included city
traffic, below-sea-level desert heat and 7,000-foot
mountain passes. Ford's Automatic Mileage Maker,
standard equipment on all Ford V-8's and SIXES,
contributed to this great achievement by squeezing
the last mile out of every drop of gasoline.
Why not "Test Drive" the new Ford at your
neighborhood Ford Dealer's? There's no better way
to be convinced that "You can pay more but you
can't buy better!"
*The AAA Contest Board determines the winner by a "ton-mile
per gallon" formula to insure .equal chance for al cars in each
class -regardless of size and weight. Ton-miles per gallon equals
the car weight (including passengers) in tons, multiplied by
number of miles travelled, divided by number of gallons of
gasoline consumed,

Our Country Right or Wrong


EVERYBODY WANTS INTO THE ACT
As Jimmy Durante-says, "Everybody wants ta
git inta de act," and that seems to be in the minds
of a number of our duly elected county officials.
First, the members of the school board vote to
have a local law passed in the legislature to es-
tablish their salaries at $40 per month and mile-
age, regardless of whether they meet once a
month or four times. And now comes our county
commissioners with a similar proposal. One of
the board members informs us that the proposal
is to boost their stipend from the present $50 per
month and mileage to $75 per month and mile-
age, with the chairman' to get $100.,
We have talked this matter over with a con-
siderable number 6f taxpaying citizens, and all
but two of them were opposed to these two pro-
posals, some of them bitterly so. As we pointed
out editorially two weeks ago, it is our belief

Glenn Boyles, ardent local fisher-
man, was afflicted with gremlins
last week while fishing in Lake
Wimico with Byron Eells Jr. First
thing Glenn done was to make a
long cast, only to discover that he
hadn't tied the line to his reel
spindle. When he started to wind in
his line he discovered there wasn't
any.
After retrieving the line and
fastening it to the spindle, he dis-
covered that he hadn't threaded it
through the guides. So, rather than
take the line off the reel he cut the
plug loose, threaded the line thru
the guides, and retied the plug to
the end of the line.
All set to go again, Glenn-heaved
mightily-and the plug went flying
off into the wild blue yonder.'
Not to 'be licked, Glenn tied on
.another plug, a Whoodedoodle, and
proceeded to hook a'beautiful bass,
which he brought up to the. boat,
only to have it-shake off his'hook,
thumb its nosei at him and swhi.
away. Byron informs us the fish'
was a beauty and probably 'would
have tipped the beam at about four
pounds. Seems Glenn had for-
gotten to "set" the hook after the
strike and was perfectly happy as
long as he and the fish kept the
line tight.
However, the day wasn't a total
loss-Byron brought home a three-
quarter pound minnow. .. Glenn?
All he had was fishermen's luck.

B. W. Eells is also claiming prow-
ess as a bass fisherman-though in
exact reverse to Glenn. Claims
he'd never had a casting rod in his
hands before, but let B. W. Jr., in-
veigle him into going to Wimico.
Asserts he brought back six choice
bass and lost two, while Byron Jr.,
returned with an empty string.
As long as we're devoting this
col'mn to bass, we are thanking Jeff
Plair for three more choice ones he
brought in recently. . Denver
Miller, not to be outdone, promised
us a couple shortly. Perhaps
some day Ye Ed will find an hour
or two of leisure, take his foot in
his hand, go to Wimico and show
these boys how to REALLY bring
'em back.

State Dairy Association

Opposes Plans To Put

Will Also Fight Any Efforts To
Abolish Florida Milk
Commission

The Florida Dairy Association, in
a meeting last week at Orlando,
went on record as vigorously op-
posed to any expansion or change
of the sales tax to take in foods.
The group's directors made that
plain when they approved a legisla-
tive program for the coming ses-
sion.
The association will also oppose
any efforts to abolish the state milk
commission, pointing out that with-
out this regulatory body, chaos
would result in the industry and
many dairymen would be forced out
of business.
Commenting on the operation of
the milk commission a dairy spokes-
man said: "The commission has,
for the past-18 years, proved to be-
a necessary and important factor in
stabilizing, increasing and' improv-
ing the supply, of home-proddced
milk in Florida and has beet- a

Ranger Appeals To

Public for Help In

Preventing Fires

Points Out That Intentionally Set
Blazes Are Destroying Much -
Valuable Timber

H. A. Hardy, Gulf county forest
ranger, is appealing to the public
Ifor assistance in preventing woods
fires, which are destroying much
valuable timber in the county.
"As your county ranger who is
responsible for the suppression of
woods fires in Gulf county, I would
like to bring to the attention of the
public some of the facfs $regarding
the woods burning now being done,"'
said Hardy.
'"Many landowners have legally
burned their own land. If these
landowners would tell the forest
service of their intentions to burn,
it.would save us much unnecessary
travel. We have to send crews to
check on all smoke, for we consider
ahi smoke to be a wild fire until
le know better. This is expensive
a#0 also delays the crews in get-
ting to wild fires, resulting in more
acreage burned and:grveater'damage
,done."'
'Pointing out that many fires are
the result of carelessly burning
brush, trash or fields without tak-
ing proper precautions as to wea-
ther or firebreaks, langer. Hardy
states that the greater part of such
fires can be prevented if everybody
is more careful with fire in and
around the woods.
"The intentionally set fires ac-
count for more of our fires than all
other causes combined, resulting in
the greatest damage done," he said.
"Most of these fires are violations
Fof the law, and the timber destroyed
is of vital importance to the econ-
,omy of Gulf county and the nation,
-as well as to the national defense
program. Every serviceman de-
pends on the woodlands to, supply
Thim with many needed articles. Is
this the way we are to-back him up
"by burning these much-needed ma-
terials?
"It is my opinion that this burn-
mning will continue until public opin-
ion is united against it. Each law-
abiding citizen must assume some
of the responsibility for catching
-violators of our fire laws, reporting
all known violations and in helping
to swing public opinion against
'woods burning.
"I promise you that the fire-fight-
ing crews of the Gulf county fire-
-control unit will put out fires that
tdo start as quickly as possible, bit
under existing conditions they can-
not reach all fires as quickly as we
would like, for many times we have
more fires burning than we have
-crews to fight them.
"The forest service will certainly
-thank you for all the assistance
:you can give in helping to prevent
'these fires," concluded Hardy.

LETTERS
TO THE EDITOR


Editor The Star-The Kiwanians
are to be congratulated on conduct-
ing such a high class basketball
tournament as that held in Port St.
Joe last week.
I The games were clean and hard-
fought. Most of them were very
close, providing the fans with many
a thrill. It was a delight to watch
so many excellent players in action.
The attendance was a little dis-
appointing. I am certain that this
must have been due not to lack of
interest in clean, top-grade, com-
petitive sport, but to the fact that
the character and class of the com-
petition were not known.
If held next year, I believe there
will be a much greater response by
the fans. It is my hope that the
Kiwanians will make the tourna-
ment an annual affair.
REV. S. J. ALLEN.

CARD OF THANKS
May we express in this way our
thanks to each and every one for
the many deeds of kindness and for
the words of comfort and sympathy
extended us at the news of the death
of our son and brother, William M.

thank Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Forehand.
May God bless you all is our prayer.

Liberty Garden Campaign

Launched to Increase

Home Vegetable Growing


Home vegetable gardens can
make an important contribution to
the civilian defense program, Mil-
lard Caldwell, head of the Federal
Civil Defense Administration, stated
in a letter to Secretary of Agricul-
ture Brannan.
"Food thus produced and pre-
served in the home will be a safety
factor and should strengthen Na-
tional Defense," his letter contin-
ued. "Furthermore, gardening
brings many benefits'to the public
aside from the actual food produced,
as it improves the morale and
health of our citizens.
-"We assure you of the complete
. cooperation of our agency in en-
couraging this program. We, will
also recommend to the State Civil
Defense authorities that they,, too,
cooperate with their state agricul-
tural agencies who have charge of
this necessary activity."
The National Garden Advisoryy
Committee, estabLished during the
World war to adv-ise the government
on it*, war garden policy, unani-
mously recommended to Secretary
Branenan that a government cam-
paign be organized at once to en-
courage the planting of home vege-
table gardens as a preparedness
measure, under the title: "Liberty
Garden program."
The campaign will stress the
preservation of home grown vege-
tables, by freezing and canning, to
create home reserves.
"Liberty -Gardens" *m11 be the
fourth name applied to a national
campaign for home vegetable gar-
dens. In World War I, they were
'War Gardens"; in World War II,
"Victory Gardens," in the post-war
era when food was being shipped in
quantities to Europe, "Gardens for
Freedom." These various names
all meant the same, that every fam-
ily which could produce its own
fresh vegetables, by work during
le's::re hours, on land near theI


Liberty Garden Program
Recommendations of the Na-
tional Garden Advisory
Committee.
1. That the U. S. Department
of Agriculture set up a home
garden and home food preser-
vation program under a defi-
nitely designated director.
2. That th facilities. of the
Extension Service and other
agencies in the U. S. D. A. and
in the various states be utilized
to the fullest extent in further-
ing the program.
3. That the U. S. D. A. enlist
the support and cooperation of
garden clubs, youth, groups,
women's organizations, service
clubs, industrial, community,
other civic organizations, and
organs of 1Public information.
4 That emphasis be placed
on home preservation Of fruits
and vegetables.

home, thereby made an important
contribution to national defense.
The contribution to the family
budget will also be important for
most families. High food prices
indicate that. The cost of growing
vegetables has grown so high that
much land which formerly produced
near large cities has been trans-
ferred to sugar beets, and other
specialty crops, requiring less
labor. Costs are rapidly increasing
in California and 'Ai-zona, from
which lettuce and carrots, are
shipped East all summer long.
Careful statistics hav e shown that
back-yard gardeners can grow vege-
tables for family use by spending
less time in planting and caring for
a garden, than it would take to shop
for the vegetables in the market.
Leisure time can be exchanged for
the equivalent of high wage.


Iowa, noted as a corn and meat
producing state, is also'America's
number one state in egg production.
