BALL TEAM PRACTICING Leonard Belin informed The Star that while no schedule with other teams has yet been arranged for the St. Joe baseball team as yet, that the boys are practicing every day, Monday through Friday, at the ball park, starting at 5 p. m.

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 (Continued on page 6) 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.

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.

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.

Governor Fuller Warren gave his talk to the opening session Tues- day afternoon in which he begged the legislature to save the people's. money by not enacting any more taxes of any kind, by not appropri. ating more money than present taxes will yield, and to enact ap- propriate legislation to control ris- ing prices. Warren's message punched -out a body blow perhaps fatal to 'those hopeful of persuading the legisla- ture to provide additional millions of taxation for existing and en- larged state services.

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 all state taxes in Florida certainly should not be 'burdened with addi- tional taxes."

A vocalist, 17-year-old Ed Green, "The Daytona Warbler," offered a number of selections, including "The Gypsy," "Enjoy Yourself" and "I've Got a Lovely Bunch of Coco- nuts," being accompanied at the piano by 15-year-old Robert Battag- lia. Last on the program was a medley of four tunes presented by Karl Eicker, 15-year-old accordion- ist. A social hour followed, and re- freshments were served to a large number of regular members and guests.

Mrs. Katie Long presided over the bride's book. The honoree, who was the recipi- ent of many useful and lovely gifts, was attractively attired for the oc- casion in a 'black crepe dress, and her corsage was of pink carnations, a gift of the groom.

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." Use of mercury vapor lights for street lighting is rapidly increasing in American cities. Dr. Joseph B.

JOE, GULF COUNTY, FLORIDA PACE THREE 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.

MOTOR TUNE-UP Check Brake Hose Check Wheel Cylinders 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- Check Shock Absorber Links Check Tie Rod Ends and Drag Links ST.

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. Trade with your home-town merchants. TEN YEARS AGO From the Files of The Star z-,% 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. Norton Carter Miss Brownie Miller Carter, daugh- ter of Mr. and Mrs. Thos. R. L. Car- ter, and Dr J.,.:. Robert Norton of this city, son-of Mrs. J. H.

White Named Legion Commander Counting of the mail votes Mon- day night by the election committee of Gulf County Post 116, American Legion, revealed that Gadi White of Wewahitchka 'had been elected as commander; T. M. Schneider, first vice-commander; C. A. Lup- ton, second vice-commander; W. HI. Wellington, third vice-commander, and Clarence Pridgeon re-elected as finance officer. C. H. Johnson was reappointed adjutant by White. Fillingim Heads Paper Makers At the regular election of offi- cers of Local No. 379, International 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.

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. Spend Week-end In Birmingham Mr. and Mrs. B. W.

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.

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.

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.
