Get Natural Gas

Sales Forecast and Cost of

piled Back In 1949

Back in September of 1949, when
the-Atlantic Gulf Natural Gas Comn-
first announced plans for building
a gas pipeline into this section of
the nation, city officials of Port St.
Joe, co-operating with the concern,
made a survey of the city and ad-
jacent territory to discover whe-
ther it would be practical to bring
natural gas into the community, the
city to operate its own distribution
system.
The data as compiled at that time
indicated that such a project should
be feasible as well as profitable to
the city.
Based on present population and
potential growth, it was shown that
at the end of the fifth 'year of op-
eration (conservative figures) 400
residential users would be on the.
roster, 65 commercial users and 2

City Dads To Consider

Delinquent Tax Sale

Will Also Study Refunding of Wa-
ter and Sewer Bonds and
Charter Amendments

Die to the fact that but' three
members of the city commission
were present at the regularly sched-
uled meeting Tuesday night, it was
decided to call a special meeting
Wednesday night, April 11, at 7:30
to take up the matter of refunding
the present water and sewer reve-
nue debentures, possible amend-
ments to the city charter and the
matter of delinquent taxes.
It was brought out that property
owners are delinquent in the mat-
ter of paying their taxes to the
tune of approximately $7,800, some
of which goes back as far as 1938.
A public tax sale to bring these de-
liquent taxes into the city treasury
will be one of the main matters to
be discussed at next Wednesday's
special session.
Mayor Jake Belin reported that
he and Commissioner F. W. Chand-
ler, who is in charge of the fire de-
partment, met with the board of
.county commissioners Tuesday in
an attempt to have funds allocated
to the city as reimbursement for
cost of providing fire protection
outside the city limits. A. special
bill was passed by the legislature
in 1949 which levied a half-mill on
property south of the canal outside
the city limits for this purpose, but
was only for a period of one year.
The city received $"86 in 1950 from
this levy, but since that time no
,further funds have been forthcom-
ing.
The county commission passed a
resolution to' offer a local bill in the
legislature to establish a fire con-
trol district in this section of the
county to take care of the matter.

Kiwanis Hears Talk On

Civic Responsibilities

Speaker From Tyndall Field Says
Civic-Minded Citizens Owe
Debt To Community

By HARRY McKNIGHT
Guest speaker at the Wednesday
noon meeting of the Kiwanis Club
held in the Hotel St. Joe dining
room was S. W. Gunnoe of Tyndall
Field, who was introducediby Glenn
Boyles, program chairman.
Hailing from West Virginia, near
Glenn's boyhood stomping grounds,
it was only recently that Glenn dis-
covered he was stationed at Tyn-
dall, where he is in charge of man-
agement training for the entire air
base.
A district officer of Lions Inter-
national, Gunnoe delighted Kiwan-
ians with his ready wit-and friendly
personality. His subject, "Where
We Stand," was designed strictly
for clubmen and others who feel
civic responsibility. Emphasis was
placed upon the individual's per-
sonal debt of service to the com-
munity, to make it a place that is
"fit to bring up our children in."
Mr. Gunnoe paused to give praise
to the Kiwanis Florida district for
its "Marialina Plan." "That.is some-
thing that Kiwanis can proudly beat
its chest about fpr time ad infini-
turii, and enough praise can never
be saicl about it," he stated. The
"Mariannia Plan" was conceived
and developed by the Marianna club
to enlist other clubs in a statewide
project to give employment, voca-
tional guidance and rehabilitation

munities, all club members have re-

County Commissioners
Cancel Salary Hike Bid

The board of county commis-
sioners at their meeting Tuesday
decided that they did not need a
salary boost after all, and a mo-
tion was made by Commissioner
J. F. Miller, seconded by Commis-
sioner Pete Strange, and unani-
mously carried, that they "dis-
pense wih any further consider-
ation or request from the state
legislature to have a raise in sal-
ary."
The wage hike mesaure, to be
presented to the legislature as a
local bill, was submitted by Com-
missioner Jimd Daniel, seconded
by Commissioner Strange and ap-
proved unanimously at the meet-
of March 6. Commissioner B. E.
Kenney, chairman of the board,
was not present at that meeting.
This proposal, as well as a sim-
ilar bill by the Gulf county school
board have been strongly opposed
by The Star.

Lightning Sets Fire To
Destroy Patrick Home

Disaster again struck in the Over-
street section at 4:30 p. m. Thurs-
day of last week when a lightning
bolt struck the electric wiring of
the home of Mrs.. T.-L. Patrick and
caused a fire that completely de-
stroyed the dwelling, a landmark in
that section for the past 40 years.
Just ten days previously, a tornado
practically wrecked the community
but spared the Patrick home, al-
though trees surrounding it were
torn' and twisted.
Mrs. Patrick, who soon will be 81
years of age, was in her home at
the time. as was her son. Roy. but

Warren's message punched -out a

He pointed out that despite the
factthat the state is far more pros-
perous than it was in 1949, he
would like to see the legislature
hold down state expenses for the
next two years to the same amount
as in the past biennium, pointing
but further that "consumers who
already are paying 80.6 per cent of

should not be 'burdened with addi-

continue.
Touching on the present infla-
tion, Warren said that "since most
Florida families, because of exor-
bitantly inflated prices, are barely
able to purchase the necessities of
life, it would be almost confisca-
tory to impose additional taxes
on them, and since inflated prices
are producing fortunes for a few
and misfortunes for many, I recom-
mend that this legislature enact
appropriate legislation to control
prices during this emergency."


He reviewed the achievements of
the past two years in state depart-
ments under his general super-
vision, recommended legislation im-
plementing the criminal laws but
did not detail his suggestions, urged
the lawmakers to provide assist-
ance for the aged, the dependent
child and the blind "in amounts suf-
ficient to provide the necessities
of life," and recommended the man-
datory teaching of "the principles
of democracy" in high schools.
He did not touch upon the addi-
tional financing of schools to carry
out existing formulae of the 1947


minimum foundation program, ,the
budget commission having disposed
of this problem in a $21,000,000
"footnote" to the budget recom-
mendations for education.
In conclusion, Warren stated he
was confident that Florida "will be
an even greater state when this
session has completed its service."

St. Joe's Homemakers
Now Can Have Extra
Vacation Each Year
Study Shows Shopping But Twice
Weekly and Using Refrigerator
Saves Much Time
Each Port St. Joe housewife can
get an extra vacation of more than
a week from household activities
this year.
A little more than seven full days


in the 365 could be added to the sible with the old icebox which
leisure time of every homemaker long ago made necessary both


in our city if she would modernize
her food shopping -habits, according
to a recent study.
The research disclosed that most
of Florida's 516,253 housewives
shop for groceries every day, a
staggering total of 187,916,092
hours, or approximately 7,743,795
days. By shopping only twice a
week for food, which now is possible
because modern refrigerators can
hold more than a week's supply of
food at a time, each housewife
could reduce grocery shopping
time by half. Whereas every-day
shopping requires an estimated
15 full days a year of each home-
maker, the twice-a-week system


frequent shopping and "loading up"
for the week-end.
The error of every-day shopping
is most prevalent among city home-
makers, the research showed,
because of the around-the-corner
accessibility of stores. Suburban
dwellers have learned to buy foods
twice or three times a week, and
the rural Saturday shopping habit
is still fairly general in the state.
Returns To Home In Sarasota
Mrs. Dan Harris returned Satur-
day 4o her home in Sarasota after
a visit of several days here with
her parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. C.
Pridgeon.

cuts the figure to 7.5 days.
The study also revealed other
flaws in women's food shopping
habits. For example, 66 per cent
waste valuable energy by concen-
trating grocery purchases into Fri-
day and Saturday, although they
could more easily shop during the
first three days of the week when
stores are less crowded. One
reason advanced for the house-
wife's adhering to week-end shop-
ping habits is that she has not yet
fully realized that modern refrig-
eration keeps perishable foods
many days longer than was pos-

Our Country Right or Wrong

ONE TIME FOR ENTIRE COUNTY?
Panama Citians from time to time have talked
of going to eastern standard time from the pres-
ent central standard time in order to be more in
conformity with the greater part of the state. In
fact, they have been suggesting that the eastern
time zone be extended to take in all of North-
west Florida.. which seems to be a pretty
good idea.
However, regardless of what our neighbors on
the west do or decide to do, we would like to
suggest that some organization, or organizations
-the Kiwanis Clubs of Port St. Joe and Wewa-
hitchka, for instance-get on the ball.and start a
movement for the promulgation of some kind of
bill, local or otherwise, to be submitted to the
present, legislative session to yank the northern
portion of Gulf county out of the central time
zone and place it in the eastern zone.
At times, as we all know, it is very confusing
to residents of Port St. Joe and Wewahitchka to
have our city on eastern time and the county seat
metropolis on central time, And we have
been told by any number of residents of Panama
City that it is even more confusing to them when
they have business to. transact in this neck-o' the
woods, t6 discover that Port St. Joe has one time
and Wewahitchka another. And traveling
men they cuss the situation to high heaven.

Mystified By Pipeline Delay
Robert C. Wilson, petroleum con-
sultant in the office of production
management, Washington, D. C.,
said last Friday it was "difficult to
understand" the Georgia legisla-
ture's unwillingness to pass enabl-
ing legislation to permit the com-
pletion of the Southeastern Pipe-
line Corporation's line from Port
St. Joe to Chattanooga, Tenn., thru
the state. Immediate completion of
the line as a preparedness measure
has-been recommended by the pres-
ident and the secretaries of war,
navy and interior.

OPEN THE ROLLS
Florida welfare rolls may be loaded down with
chislers, but then, of course, there is the bare pos-
sibility that such is -not the case. Fortunately,
there is a good way to find out the truth about
the situation, and that is for the legislature to
challenge so-called federal disapproval and open
the rolls for the inspection of anyone who wants
to have a look.
There are those who pretend that the rolls, like
Caesar's wife, are above reproach, but that does
not appear to be the general opinion throughout
Florida. It has also been claimed that opening of
the rolls would be embarrassing to many persons
receiving relief. Such a course would certainly
prove embarrassing to the chiselers and the peo-
ple who got them on the rolls in the first place.
Receiving relief from governmental agencies is
nothing new, and every editor in Florida can
look back over the files of 40 and 50 years ago
and find that the county commissioners were pay-
ing small pensions to certain residents. Many of
these were called mothers'. pensions, and it was
not unusual for the names to be published in the
newspapers.-
Even today there is no restriction to publishing
the names of persons getting relief payments from
DeSoto and other counties. The appeals are acted
upon in open meetings, and if a reporter wants to
take down the names and publish them, there is
no law against such a course. Newspapers sel-
dom publish these names, because it is generally
agreed that persons getting the money really
need it.
But, welfare,rolls are sacred, and as such are
closed to the public. The legislature should rem-
edy this, and make the rolls open for the inspec-
tion of duly authorized agencies, even at the risk
of arousing the ire of some Washington bureau-
crats.-Arcadia Arcadian.

If the wage earner is paying too much taxes,
for he pays all, it is because the people he elects
to the legislature and congress are spending too
much. The remedy lies in the wage earner's
hands. He can change the tune. Instead of call-
ing for more and more services from the state, he
*needs only call for a slackening of spending.-
Somerset (Pa.) American.

Temptations are certain to ring your doorbell,

Lawns need attention now. Scat-
ter plant food over entire area at
the rate of 4 pounds to 100 square
feet. Water fertilizer in well.
Feed and spray azaleas and ca-
mellias as soon as they finish bloom-
ing. The best time to feed and spray
is just before the first lush spring
growth starts. In applying plant
food, it is not necessary to remove
mulch. Scatter food on top of mulch
and water in slowly.
Spray azaleas and camellias with
oil emulsion to control insects and
white fly. Add a good "stomach p)i-
son" to oil to control chewing in-
sects. Spray plant with a fine mist
and apply spray to mulch under
each plant.

STARDUST and

MOONSHINE

Here's a warning to all prospec-
tive buyers of new cars: If you
don't want to be pestered silly by
car salesmen, don't breath a word
to anyone that. you are in the mar-
ket for a new car. Just decide on
the make you want to get, sneak
down the back alleys, preferable in
the early dawn or at dusk, knock
three times on the rear door of the
automotive establishment and tell
'em Joe sent you. Have your
money in one hand and a pen in
the other so that you can sign the
contract and get away before the
word spreads that you have the
price of a new car and are looking
for one.
We advertised our car for sale in
the classified ad column for sev-
eral issues, but about the only re-
sult we got was to have several car
salesmen call around to extoll the
super-qualities of the car they were
selling and try. to pry us off from
our work to go for a spin. We
went with a couple of them and
were duly impressed, much to their
gratification, but we informed them
we weren't buying until we got rid
of our '48 model. Last week
we flowered up our class ad, and
lo and behold, the car was sold
two hours after The Star came out,
and that afternoon two more pros-
pects barged in to take it off our
hands. Then it was a ques-
tion of which salesman could get
-to-us fustest.with. the mostest-the
mostest being a. black, four-dopr
outfit :with staildird shfiift-no su-
per-hypochondriac drives, no white
wall tires, no gadgets of any kind
but a radio. Clinton Bryan of
the McGowin Motor Company was
the only jerk having what we de-
sired, and by 11 o'clock Friday
morning we were the possessor of
a Cambridge model (whatever that
is) Plymouth on, which we have al-


ready run up about 120 miles-that
may not sound like much mileage,
but the way we drive, that's a heap
o' driving in a week. Person-
ally, it was immaterial to us whe-
ther we had a Plymouth, a Ford or
a Chevrolet (we've never had an
ambition to get into the Cadillac
or Rolls-Royce class) for all of
them are good transportation, es-
pecially the way we drive.

Tea Leaves
Because tea leaves pick up strong
odors, always store tea in a glass
or metal container, away from any
strong scented foods. And never
wash the tea container with strong
soap. Instead, keep it sweet and
fresh with baking soda and hot
water.

Closed Season Effective
In Wimico and Dead Lake
Effective as of last Sunday, Lake
Wimico and the Dead Lakes are out
of bounds for fishermen, and the
closed season in these two bodies
of water will remain in effect until
June 1.
However, the west arm of the
Dead Lakes, east of the -highway,
is open, as is the canal and streams
emptying into Lake Wimico. Game
Warden Allen LeGrone informs us
that signs have been posted on the
canal within 300 yards of the lake
and similar signs will be found on
Indian Bayou, Double Bayou, Col-
umbus Bayou, Depot Creek and
other streams entering Wimico.
Fishermen may cross Lake Wim-
ico to reach these streams, but woe
unto them if they should be caught
fishing in the lake itself.
