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.

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."

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 (Continued on page 10) Forest Fires Burn Over Large Acreage In West Flo0-a Gulf County Has Least Number of Fires By Large Percentage; Total Damage Is $2,700 The monthly report on the forest fire situation in West Florida for February, as released from the Pan- ama City office of the district for- ester, J.

"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." .. _ -~~lP- ,--s --L --- -~~ Social Activities Personals Clubs Churches MYRTICE 0. SMITH, Editor PHONE 51 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.

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, SV-8 with Overdrive F.C.A. ST.

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.

Cuba took 15 per cent of all the cotton manufactures and 21 per cent of all the synthetic fibers and manufactures exported from the United States during this period.

FRIDAY.~~~ MAC 3 91TESA, OTS.JE UFCUNY LRD AEFV STARDUST andI MOONSHINE 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. MRS. PRIDGEON HOSTESS TO J. A. M.

State Dairy Association Opposes Plans To Put Food 6nder Sales Tax 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 primary factor in keeping out of this state th-e rising tide of federal THE DURABILITY built into every -"step-down" designed Hudson has -for the second consecutive year - been honored by the American Society of Industrial Engineers!

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. Louisiana's Nickname Louisiana is known as the "Bayou 'State." aU mmmal GARDEN NOTES PORT ST.

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.

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.
