Last spring the Cubs "wuz robbed" and they are out to even things if the good (?) right flipper of that fugitive from the Bums, Magidson, holds out. His teammates will give him one more chance to redeem himself. A newcomer to the Cub squad, Gannon Buzzett, may prove to be a dark horse-they are al- ready anticipating plenty of char- liehorses. Tentative lineups are as follows: Cubs-Killer Creech, ss; Limpy Lawrence, 2b; Blisters Blount, 3b; Scratches Smith, If; Crawlin' Cul- pepper, rf; Amnesia Anderson, cf& Hump Hannon, lb; Muffin Magid- son, p; Blooper.

The public is urged to be on hand to see what probably will be the most outstanding game of the 1951 baseball season-or any other sea- son, for that matter.

Shark'Diamond Team Is Playing Good Ball Fans Urged To Turn Out Tuesday To See First Night Game for Local School The St. Joe Shark diamond ag- gregation won from Carrabelle 4-0 and lost a thriller to the Florida In- dustrial School team 11-10 during the past week's baseball activity. Hildreth Dunlap, brilliant right- hander, missed baseball's no hit hall of fame by the margin of a twisting hopper 'to the mound. Ma- these, Carrabelle pitcher, beat the throw to' first to spoil the Highland View youngster's bid for a no-hitter. Duinlap fanned eight and did not walk a man in baffling the Mullet hitters. Dunlap, Chatham and Phil- yaw led the Sharks at the plate. Freeman and Hudson played good ball in the field,, .;,,.. Florida Industrial School handed the Sharks their first defeat on thb. local diamond.this year. Phil Chat- ham started on the hill for the lo- cals, but received loose support in the field. His, wildness, plus the timely hitting of Ennis, F. I. S. pitcher, staked the visitors, to a seven-run lead going into the last inning. The Sharks staged a thrill- ing rally for six runs,'but saw their chances vanish as Bob Gibson failed in three attempts to squeeze the tieing run across the plate. Chatham and Philyaw hit the ball (Continued on page 8) CASH IS TAKEN BY PROWLER AT TAPPER COMPANY OFFICE A prowler gained entry to the of- fices of the George G.

The bondholders have agreed to forego any charges on delinquent interest on the existing bonds, which amounts to $6,600, and, have also agreed to cut the present in- terest rate of 4% to 3%%. Total amount of the refunding bond issue is $179,320 and the new bonds will be paid, off at the rate of $8000 a year, $4000 on January 1 and $4000 on July 1 of each year, beginning January 1, 1952. On Jan- uary 1, 1966, a payment of $34,000 will be due, and on July 1, 1966, the final payment of $33,320 will fall due. Hearing on the petition .for re- funding the bonds will be held at the court house in Panama City at 10 a. m. May 21, before Judge E.

"Lefty" Thomason hurled for the Saints the first four innings, allow- ing two runs. Eddie Meharg took over the mound from there on and held the visitors scoreless. Navy chalked up one in the first and another in the third, which was the extent of their scoring,'although they threatened several times. The Saints made three counters in the third when, with two -out, Bennie Burke was, walked, Elmore Godfrey singled to send Burke to third, Marion Craig pounded out a two-bagger to send Burke home, and Leonard Belin took two bases to shove Craig across the plate.

Herring Keeps Up Communi- cations After Radio Aerial Is Broken The following article appeared in the April 4 issue of "The Front Line," daily mimeographed paper of the 3d Infantry Division which is in Korea:' "Sgt. James C. Herring, Hq. Bat- tery Liaison Section, 39th Field Ar- tillery Battalion, is a man who knows the importance of keeping of communications, especially when enemy mortars are coming in on the infantrymen. "Recently, while the-infantrymen were attacking a hill, the aerial of his radio snapped in two. After the aerial broke, the enemy started dropping mortars on the infantry and pinned them down. Herring_, was given the enemy mortar posi- tions by the infantry and told to call for artillery to be placed on-the mortars. "Herring stood up, held the two pieces of the aerial together and called out the positions to the ar- tillery while the Chinks were still dropping mortars. The hand-to-hand aerial hookup worked and the ar- tillery shells came screaming in on the Chinese mortars. When the bar- rage lifted, the infantrymen had easy going, thanks to Sgt. Herring, his ingenuity and the men and how- itzers of the 39th." - BAKE SALE SATURDAY Don't forget the bake sale to be held tomorrow, beginning at 11 a. m. on Reid Avenue, sponsored by the American Legion Auxiliary. Also the awarding of prizes in the baby contest at 4 p. m. in the building adjoining Webb's 5 & 10 Store. ^-----.--------- PRICE OF CARDBOARD GOES UP Due to a rise in' the wholesale price of cardboard The Star in fu- ture must charge 15c for a 22x28- inch sheet, or two sheets for 25c. Spelling Bee Entries Entries. from Gulf county in the North Florida spelling bee held Sat- urday in,Panama City by the John H. Perry newspapers were Martha Jean Hammock of Port St. Joe and Donnie- Jean Lister of Wewahit- chka. Allen Jinkins; 14, 8th grade student from Jinks junior high was the winner, spelling down 24 en- tries from schools in this area. 4 - , Among a number of bills intro- duced in the legislature last Friday to curb gambling and illegal prac- tices was one by Representative George Tapper of this city which would completely'abolish legal rao, ing. It calls for repeal of Chapter 550 of the Florida statutes which provides for the state racing com- mission and legalizes racing. Racing now brings the state $14,- 000,000 annually. Part of the racing tax money goes into the fund for old age assistance, while another part- is distributed evenly between the 67 counties of the state and is a major source of revenue in the smaller counties. To date this year Gulf county has received $70,000 from racing; last year's handout amounted to $82,400. Tapper said the house already had gone on record as opposed to crime and illegal gambling. But he said if the lower chamber "really wants to clean up this situation; this bill will do it." Rep. Tapper tried to speed up consideration on the measure by having it placed directly ha the cal- endar without reference to com- mittee. Instead it was referred to the judiciary C committee and by voice vote referred also to the com- mittee on finance and taxation, which action virtually assures that 'it will not' be returned to the cal- endar. Cub Scouts To Stage Soap Box Derby Next Tuesday Cub Scout Pack 'No. 47, under sponsorship of the Kiwanis Club, will stage a soap box derby next Tuesday evening and extend an in- vitation to the public to be on hand to witness- this spectacle of thrills and spills.

KENNETH BALLINGER The legislative crime drive is moving slowly along, high-lighted last week by the first public hear- ings of the Haley committee of the house to hear testimony on possible corruption of public officials. The house has passed a bill mak- ing it illegal to print or distribute advance information about racing, including selections and other data in daily newspapers. It also has passed a bill requiring hotel and 'beverage licenses to be canceled where gamblers are caught in ho- tels or 'bars. The third crime bill to pass the house sets up an enforcement agency for the railroad commission and attorney general's office to en- force the bookie law. None of the 11-bill series introduced earlier by Rep. Perry Murray and others to hem up and punish gamblers has yet been passed. The house and the senate each has rejected the idea of a "little Kefauver" committee to probe the crime wave between sessions. "Too many headlines," concluded one member. Up To People On 18-Year-Old Vote The house has agreed to let the people vote on whether 18-year-olds shall vote. On the cry of men like Rep. Francis Williams of Citrus- "Old enough to die for this country, old enough to vote!"-the house overrode objections of the conserv- ative element. The same measure has been favorably reported by a senate committee. McAlpin of Ham- ilton, Hathaway of Charlotte and Johnson of Hillsborough introduced the measures. Senate Okehs Expanded Sales Tax An expanded 3% sales tax, to raise an additional $17,500,000 a year from the consumers of Flor- ida, has passed the senate and soon will be considered in the house if the finance and taxation committee lets it out. The bill resulted from a summer's work by a committee under Sena- tor W. A.

An amendment by Senator James Moore of Sebring added newsprint to the list of things now to be taxed. In the house it is ex- pected to have a rough passage-if it goes through at all. This is the first major money bill of this session. The house already had passed a bill to continue the 1949-50 appropriations act, due to expire in July, if no new bill is agreed on this session. However, a senate committee killed this house bill. If the house now buries the sales tax amendment, the two houses will be heading for the stalemate many predict. Would Make Welfare Rolls Public Welfare critics have been advised by -Senator James A. Franklin of Fort Myers that any lawful body or legislative group can inspect wel- fare rolls, and see who is drawing the $50,000,000 a year spent, for needy old folks, the blind, and de- pendent children. The senate is considering a mea- sure to require the list of the needy blind to be opened to the Florida Council for the Blind so they can know who to help, and to the state highway patrol to lift driving li- censes of those drawing blind re- lief.

The chances are that most Am- ericans have only a hazy idea of just how much the cost of their government has risen in the past 10 years. So the following figures should come as a high-voltage shock: In 1940 it cost a little more than $75,000,000 to run the department of commerce. In 1950 the bill was $863,000,000. In 1940 the department of the interior lived on a budget of $1,385,000. Last year's bill was close to $568,500,000. In 1940 the state department worried along on less than $21,000,000. In 1950 it managed to get rid of more than $361,000,000. In 1940 the taxpayers supported the depart- ment of labor to the tune of some $18,500,000. Last year the assessment was $257,000,000. In 1940, it must be remembered, the late Pres- ident Roosevelt had been in office two terms, and the government had been greatly expanded. Yet now the cost of running the major depart- ments under your friend (he ain't ours) Harry Truman make the 1940 budgets look like pea- nuts! What can we do about it? Well, if the people of Port St. Joe and other communities all over the nation have any sense of their own self- interest, they will demand an end to this extrava- gance of the federal government that is threaten- ing to bankrupt the country. And if there is suf- ficient volume to the demand it will finally be heard by our congressmen, senators and bureau- crats who in the past have had their ears stopped THE LOW DOWN ---- from ----- WILLIS SWAMP - m Editor The Star: With the meesles or the flu-and which iffen you take care of your- self you most of the time kum out okay-is this here spending' epi- demik we bin in fer yeers, and ter which we bin neglectin' a remedy.

A Country Editor-Is one who reads newspapers, selects miscel- lany, writes articles on all subjects, sets type, reads proof, folds papers and sometimes carries them, prints jobs, runs on errands, cuts wood, works in the garden, talks to all his patrons who call, patiently receives blame for a thousand things that never were and never can be done, gets little money, has scarce time and materials to satisfy his hun- ger, or to enjoy the quiet of na- ture's sweet restorer, sleep, 'and es- teems himself peculiarly happy if he is not assaulted and battered by some unprincipled demagogue who loves puppet shows and hires the rabble with a treat of cider brandy to vote him into some petty office. A man who does all this, and much more not here recorded, you will know must be a rather busy animal; and as he performs the work of so many different persons, he may justly be supposed their' representative, and to have an in- disputable right, when speaking of himself, to use the plural number, and to say "we" on all occasions and in all places. "Poor Relations" The nearest relatives of the beau- tiful birds of paradise are the plain crows. Actually, the simplest of paradise birds, the manucodes, do resemble small glossy crows. The fancier species, however, such as the King, the Sicklebill, and the Magnificent, with their multicol- ored and fantastically shaped plum- age, seem a world away from their dull appearing cousins.

BARRIER & WIMBERLY PONTIAC CO. FRIDAY, APRIL 27, 195-1 THE STAR, PORT ST. JOE, GULF COUNTY, FLQRIDA PAGE FOUR Corner Second Street and Monument Avenue -ae Port St. Joe, Florida R ASG P Seaweed Held Valuable To Economy of Florida Is Superior Fertilizer and Can Sup- ply Important Nutrients for Livestock That pesky seaweed washing up on Florida's shores to annoy swim- mers could give a healthy shot in the arm to the state's economy. Seaweed is loaded with minerals, making it highly valuable as ferti- lizer, stockfeed and a source of com- mercial chemicals. So reports Dr. Robert H. Williams of the Univer- sity of Miami marine laboratory in -a booklet published by the state conservation board. Florida's vast stretches of shal- low coastal waters contain 408 known kinds of sea plants, most of which are very simple plants called algae. About 12 types are commer- cially useful. Up to five tons of floating sea- weed have been measured in a mile squar area at the edges of the Gulf stream, but much less is found nearer Florida. It can be found washed up on beaches after storms, netted in deeper waters by trawls, or caught in stop nets placed in tidal currents. Production of seaweed fertilizer offers a good field for new small businesses where it is found in suf- ficient quantity. Since seaweed is an excellent source of major fertilizer elements nitrogen, potassium and phos- phorus-it is a superior product for Florida, where much of the soil is seriously deficient, says the univer- sity scientist. Individuals who have gathered their own seaweed and tried it on soils for vegetable, flower and fruit growing report excellent results. It can 'be spread in foot-thick layers and sprayed with fresh water to re- move surface salt, then applied di- rectly to lawns, gardens, shrubbery and trees. It's better to cover seaweed with a layer of sand or soil to accelerate rotting and to trap the unpleasant odors of rotting.. Dr. Williams re- ports it to be superior to many chemical fertilizers because its or- ganic matter aids in keeping mois- ture and minerals in the upper level of the soil where plant roots can absorb them. Nor does seaweed have the undesirable weed seeds and fungus spores found in manure. Seaweed can supply important addition to the diet of dairy and range cattle, chickens and other animals. It probably would be'mixed with other feed materials, such as sugar cane or beet by-products, be- fore being fed to animals. Seaweed, which is used for hu- man food in the orient, may be compared to green vegetables for nutrition, as it is a good source of minerals, vitamins and bulk needed for intestinal action. Chief commercial products made from Florida seaweed are agar and algin. Florida's salt water resources, worth an estimated $200,000,000 an- nually, may get an additionalsboost, thanks to the lowly seaweed.
