PORT ST. JOE A Progressive Community With a Modern, Progressive Weekly Newspaper THE STAR "Port St. Joe- The Outlet Port for the Apalachicola-Chattahoochee Valley" THE STAR Official. Paper for Gulf County, Devoted To the Continued Development of the Entire County . VOLUME XIV 1-ORT ST. JOE, FLORIDA. FRIDAY, MAY 25 ,1951 County Boards Would Publish Expenditures Under Legislative Act Bill Dropped In Legislative Hopper By Tapper Would Let People Know Where Money Goes For some time past neither the Gulf county school board nor the board of county commissioners have been publishing a list of their expenditures, and consequently the taxpayers of the county have had no idea of how much money is be- ing spent by the two boards nor - where it goes. SThis matter would be remedied -by a bill introduced last Friday in the legislature by Representative George Tapper providing that the board of county commissioners and the board of public instruction of ,Gulf county publish minutes of all meetings and a list of all experidi- tures. The bill also provides that the matter shall be passed upon by voters of the county. The act, in full, follows: ."The board of county commis- .sioners and the board of public in- struction of Gulf county shall pub- lish.,minutes of each meeting with- in five days after such meeting, and before the 10th day of each month shall publish a list of all ex- penditures for the .previous month, showing the voucher. number, the date, to whom paid, and the amount paid. All such publications shall be in a newspaper of general circula- tion published in the county. "This act shall bE~ore effeui\ve upon being raitfied and-approved by a majority of the electors of Gulf county voting at an election to be held for that purpose on or be- fore October 1, 1951, and which the county commissioners of Gulf county are hereby required to call and conduct." Garden Club To Have Display of Daylilies The Port St. Joe Garden Club will have a display of daylilies in the show window of the St. Joe Furni- 'ture & Appliance Company today, both arrangements and specimens. Daylilies are the answer to the flower growers' prayers in Port St. Joe, as they will thrive in any type of soil, can "take it" when there is no rain, and have a long blooming season-from early March until fall. The color range of daylilies runs from pale pink to so deep a.red as to be almost black, as well as the familiar yellows. They are inexpen- sive, multiply rapidly and make a delightful addition to any garden. Stop by John Blount's store to- Sday,and see these daylilies. ----------- Visit St. Andrews O. E. S.

Mayor Belin Proclaims Saturday Poppy Day His Honor Urges Every Resident of Port St. Joe To Honor Hero War Dead Saturday, May 26, has been set aside as Poppy Day in Port St. Joe in a proclamation issued by Mayor Jake Belin. The proclamation fol- lows: WHEREAS, The City of Port St. Joe, in 1917 and 1918, and again in 1941 and 1945, sent many of its fin- est young men and women to serve in the defense of our country; and, WHEREAS, Many of these made the supreme sacrifice in that ser- vice; and, WHEREAS,. The memory of their service and sacrifice should be for- ever kept bright for the inspiration of our own and future generations; and, WHEREAS, The wearing of me- morial poppies before Memorial Day revives the deeds of those who. served and sacrificed and brings to our minds and hearts the memory of these gallant dead; NOW, THEREFORE, I, J. C. Be- lin, mayor of the city of Port St. Joe, do hereby proclaim Saturday,- May 26, 1951, to be Poppy Day in the city of Port St. Joe, and I urge that all citizens observe the day by wearing the memorial poppy thru- out the day.

Raffield Called By Death Dies At Port St. Joe Hospital After Lingering Illness; Last Rites Held Friday David Willis Raffield, 74, father of Mrs. W. I. Carden of this city, passed away Thursday of last week at the Port St. Joe Municipal Hos- pital after a lingering illness. Mr. Raffield moved to this sec- tion 51 years ago from near Tifton, Ga., and proved up a homestead at Wetappo, in which section he lived until his death. In addition to Mrs. Carden, he is survived by four other daughters, his wife, five sons, 16 grandchildren and 13 great grand- children. Funeral services were held Fri- day afternoon at 3 o'clock with in- terment in the Rhames cemetery near Overstreet. The services were in charge of a nephew, Rev. Coy Raffield of Panama City, pastor of the Drummond Park Baptist Church. The Comforter Funeral Home of this city was in charge of local ar- rangements. REV. GRAHAM TO LEAVE Rev. Lee Graham last Sunday an- nounced his resignation as priest- in-charge of St. James' Episcopal Church and his acceptance of a call t6 St. Luke's Church, Mountain 'Brook, Birmingham, Ala. He ex- pects to leave about July 1. ------S---- To Graduate From Nursing School Miss Sara Brinson will graduate from the Crawford W. Long School of Nursing, Atlanta, Ga., on June 8. She plans to leave for Marlborough, N. J. on June 10 to take up a three- months course at the state hospital of psychiatry. TAPPER'S LEGISLATIVE TIDBITS By REP. GEORGE TAPPER I y---'----. I Tallahassee, May 23 -The con- ference committee,has been ap- pointed by the house and senate to work out the differences in the gen- eral appropriation;. bill and we should have some report the later part of this week. As the bill now stands, there is approximately ten to eleven million dollars difference. A bill which I introduced this week pertains to the& publication of minutes and expenditures of the board of county commissioners and county school board,; also, at the request of the school board, I of- fered a salary bill which would pay them $50 per month.; Both of these bills carry a referendum and the people will have an opportunity to vote on them in October. The appropriation bill for $10,- 000 for Constitution Park has been reported favorably by the house committee on appropriations and is now on the calendar. It appears that I am going to have to introduce a bill doing away with closed season on mullet in Gulf county, since the surrounding counties of Franklin, Wakulla and Bay have introduced bills doing away with the closed season in their counties. It would be foolish for Gulf county to remain closed: and, our neighboriifg counties re- main open. I am attelhpting to have these representatives withdraw the bills. The house has passed a bill to allow recipients of old age assist- ance to have a little garden, a cow and some chickens. Also, if they can do part-time work, they will be allowed to do this without interfer- ence with their pensions. The house has also passed a bill creating a new department of pub- lic welfare, set up new rules and regulations, which is an effort, to do away with the chislers who are now on the rolls and who are not entitled under the law to'receive aid. The Anderson new election code has passed the house. This estab- lishes a new system in the election of county, state and federal offi- cials. The house has also passed a bill to establish a board of public nurs- ing for licensed registered nurses, practical nurses, midwives and other types of nurses. This bill will in no way affect those who have been doing casual nursing. Marianna To Meet Saints Here Sunpay The editor having been out of the city over the week-end we failed to see the Sunday baseball game here with Bonifay and have been unable to find anyone who did see it. We did learn that the score was 16 to 5 in favor of the Saints and that Eddie Meharg pitched a wonderful game. We also managed to discover that St. Joe dropped the Thursday tilt to Bonifay in that Bity 'by a count of 6 to 5. St. Joe was scheduled to play in Marianna last night, with the Jack- son count team coming here Sun- day for, the return game. _------9-' --- Unemployment Handout Drops Spends Sunday With Parents Unemployment compensation pay- Pvt.

Propose New Plan To Collect Sales Tax Merchants Would Pay In Advance By Purchasing Books of Stamps A prepaid stamp plan for collec- tion of Florida's sales tax has been introduced in the house by Repre- sentative V. A. Williams Jr., of Seminole county which he calcu- lates would save the state $750,000 yearly in collection costs. The proposal provides for mer- chants to pay the tax in advance by purchasing books of tax stamps in various denominations from the state comptroller. When the consumer makes a pur- chase, the dealer would take the appropriate sized stamp from his book, tear it in two and give half to the purchaser. This would be for cancellation of the stamp, and nei- ther dealer nor purchaser would be required to keep his portion of the stamp. It is contended by Williams that it would eliminate the bookkeep- ing now done by merchants in mak- ing their report to the comptroller. --- --4----- GRAND MATRON OF O. E. S. IMPRESSED WITH ST.

Tapper Monday introduced a local bill in the legislature providing for sal- aries for members of the county school board and mileage. The measure, submitted at the request of members of the local school board, would provide $50 a month salary and 10 cents a mile traveling expenses. However, at the request of The Star, Representative Tapper added a string to the bill which puts the matter up to a vote of the people of the county at an election to be held not later than November 5 of this year. The pay is retroactive to July 1, and if approved, will replace the $10 a meeting for 18 meetings an- nually allowed board members as compensation under the minimum foundation law.

JOE G C AY MAY 25 1951 GARDEN NOTES PORT ST. JOE GARDEN CLUB Try some brightly colored foli- age plants to enliven summer gar- dens. A rainbow of colors is found in the common coleus, since mod-, ern breeders have improved exist- ing strains. The coleus prefers some shade and plenty of water. The sun-loving Joseph's coat, alteran- thera, is useful for edging a border or in a window box. Don't forget the tall, dark red and bronze foliaged cannas, which add to the tropical effect. For a shady spot, the variegated plantain lily is prized for its low, leafy clumps of green and white. Fancy-leaved caladiums are be- coming more and more popular. These bulbs multiply rapidly and are of the easiest culture. They pre- fer a porous, sandy soil and hot weather. To keep growth lush, wa- ter frequently. You can enjoy reds, whites, pinks and variations of these colors with green, gray and straw-colored mottling. ,* it al I F MRS. POITEVINT HOSTESS TO ,BAPTIST CIRCLE VI Circle V.I of the Baptist W. M.

Our Country Right or Wront FEE SYSTEM ABOLITION At long last a move is underway to abolish the outmoded, expensive and inefficient fee system of Florida and place all county officers on a salary basis. A bill providing fbr just this has been intro- duced in the legislature, and provides for the county fee officers such as the sheriff, justice of peace, constables, county judge, county clerk, assessor and tax collector to pay their receipts into the county's general fund. Under the meas- ure the legislature would provide by general law of statewide application upon a reasonable class- ification, the salaries, expenses and compensa- tion paid to all county officers. Under the present system, one of the greatest wa.stes is in operation of offices. Under the pres- ent setup most fee officers may incur almost any amount of expense within the realms of reason. There is little or no check on buying equipment, TEN YEARS AGO ,From the Files of The Star Graduats To Get Diplomas Twenty-five members of the grad- uating class of Port St. Joe high school received their diplomas last Monday night from the hands of Tom Owens, county school-super- intendent. They were Mable Blount, Willie Lee Beard, Joyce Chatham, Betty Darcey, Maurice Faine, Ar- thur Forehand, Ora Lee Goforth, Elaine Gore, Emily LeGrone, Lu- nette Hammock, James Lillie, Edna McLeod, Jewel Lewis, Elsie Nail, Jimmie McNeill, Naomi Parker, Billy Roberts, Jesse Stone, Vivian Strauss, Vilura Strauss, Murnice Taunton, Gwendolyn Spencer, El- len Wallace, Betty Jo Temple and Cornelius VanHorn. Gaskin -Taunton The wedding of Miss Murnice Taunton, daughter of Mrs. C. C. Taunton of this city, to Roy Fitz- gerald Gaskin, son of Judge and Mrs. Gaskin of Blountstown, was hiring employes, etc., as long as the fees of the office meet the expense. Of course, the taxpayer loses, as surplus fees would go back to the county if expenses were not so great. Most states have long ago gotten away from the fee system, and let us hope that Florida, too, will do away with the practice. FLORIDA'S HISTORIC SITES The monetary value placed on the numerous historic and archaeological sites located within the boundaries of our state is decidedly a sec- ondary consideration to their importance as an expression of dignity and prestige of Floridians. -' The state of Florida is not made up of the sweep of beaches or the pine-clad plains and hills which they encompass, but of the 2,500,000 persons who now make this area their home. Floridans,, regardless of whether they are the descendants of colonial or ante-bellum families, or are persons of discrimination who make it their home from choice, should realize that in choosing their residence, they became the in- heritors of an unexcelled historical tradition, ex- tending for nearly four centuries into a past richly filled with dramatic events. Many of these events were associated with structures which have survived, often without protection, the rav- ages of time and vandalism until today. The preservation of these historic sites, such as the old St. Joseph cemetery, for instance, is a concern of mounting importance. The survival of many of these structures is largely attributable to their location in hitherto inaccessible locations, but with the extension of roads and the encroach- ment of many developments, the old security disappears and their further preservation is threatened unless the state assumes custodian- ship. Means should and must be devised for their preservation for posterity'. Trade with your home-town merchants. STARDUST and MOONSHINE In ways, Georgia seems 'to be all right and in other ways, not so good. For instance, when we took off Thursday of last week to visit Myrtice's uncle and aunt, Doc and Mrs. Coody, who have a fish pond of abbut two acres on their rancho, we found, much to our disgust, that with an estimated 3000 bream, warmouth, trout and shellcrackers in this small body of water, none of them were inter- ested in becoming impaled on our hook. Doc had been whooping up the amount of fish he had (by let- ter), and we were all a-glow with visions of hauling in a few eight or ten-pound bass (he was offering a dollar bill to anyone wha'd catch a 12-pounder that iwas eating up the small fish'), and so when we ar- rived we took o.ur casting rod and hied ourself to the dam.

JOE, FLA. Bill Would Put All of State On Eastern Time ' For official purposes, West Flor- ida would switch to Eastern Stan- dard Time under provisions of a bill now before the legislature. The present law says time used by state agencies is to be "the United States standard time of the zone within which the act is to be performed." The bill, introduced in the house by Representative John L. McFar- lin Jr., would replace this provision' simply with "Eastern Standard Time." This would place the entire state on Eastern Standard Time and do away with the present confusion, particularly in this neck o' the woods. The Star has long advo- cated such a change and it is to be hoped that the measure will ride successfully through both houses of the legislature. This on your printing is a sign of quality.

The major two-year spending bills for state government have been passed by both houses, this week will be reconciled, and one bill submitted to Governor Warren. The house of representatives un- der economy-minded Representative Morgan of Duval, started with an appropriation bill of $244,000,000, but when the members got to think- ing about the old folks and the schools, theyhiked this to $268,000,- 000. The senate had approved a to- tal spending program of $278,000,- 000, but their bill included $10,000,- 000 to repair and build new build- ings at state institutions. So far, the house has failed to take action on the amended .3% sales tax bill passed by the senate, to make up the difference between what the state gets now and what it will need. Harness Racing Bill Approved Racing threatened-again to break up a legislative session in a cloud of scandal. Rep. B. Elliott of Palm Beach county had introduced a bill to allow harness racing in that county. A house committee killed it, but he appealed for votes and got unanimous approval of the bill. Following the vote, the speaker marched to the clerk's desk, took the bill in hand and personally car- ried it to the senate. Other racing bills in the past have mysteriously disappeared on this short journey. Revise County Budget-Making Both house and senate have com- pleted action on a revision of the laws of budget-making by county commissioners, originally sponsored ,by the state association of county commissioners. It reduces to sum- mary form the contents of proposed county budgets, as a substitute for adequate public notice given to the taxpayers under existing law. The senate by a close voice vote de- feated efforts of Senator J. Min Ayers to restore notice to the pub- lic on preliminary budgets. The legislature also has voted to increase from $300 to $1000 the limit of purchases county commis- sioners can make without calling for competitive bids. SCrime Drive Bogs Down The legislative d r i v e against crime bogged down when it tried to control public officials. The sen- ate has rejected a proposal to make sheriffs and other peace officers subject to recall by.the people. Elsewhere a committee had put to sleep a bill to prohibit an indi- vidual from owning a controlling interest in more than one race track. The senate also killed a bill to let the state monitor telephone conversations to get evidence on bookies. Otherwise, the lawmakers bore down heavily on gamblers, approv- ing in the senate mandatory jail sentences for bookies, banning tip- sheets and newspaper selections, prohibiting transmission of racing information for 30 minutes after each race, canceling hotel and bar licenses where gambling is per- mitted, and tightened up on the control of telephone and telegraph services used for bookmaking. Would Open Welfare Rolls The house has approved a bill to open welfare rolls to the public by putting names of old folks getting pensions on record with'-eelerks of the circuit court. This issue has been followed by committee ap- proval of bills in both'houses re- quiring elderly needy people to file suits for non-support against their children before they can become eligible for aid. Senator Johnnie Wright of DeFuniak Springs has protested this feature, as well as the publication of relief rolls, and has indicated he will fight both proposals in the senate. , The house was told by Represen- tative Richard Simpson of Jeffer- son that if the federal government should threaten to withhold federal matching funds because of welfare publicity, the cabinet would be au- thorized to close them again. Other requirements to put liens on the property of welfare clients are now pending. Press Muzzling Bills'Fail A house committee has killed the massive insurance code which had passed the senate and which would have gathered into one place the insurance laws of the state. A senate committee has given an unfavorable report to a bill to tax Hadacol like wine because of its high alcoholic content. A house committee, rejected bills to investigate the Tampa Tribune, and gave unfavorable reports to measures which would have can- celed out the libel laws, required newspapers to open their pages for answer to any criticism of official conduct, and required newspapers and radio stations to get approval of a candidate for office before his friends could place advertising. Still unsettled is a resolution to in- vestigate the Miami Herald. The rash of anti-newspaper bills at this session of the legislature has not yet been traced to their source, but capital observers agree most of them are coming from the same place. All are attempts at muzzling the free press. Would Modify Blue Laws A bill to authorize title prize- fights in Florida has passed both houses. Also, both houses have ap- proved a bill to modify Sunday blue laws, and permit transportation, a- -. SYes,.we love em! And we're proud of' the high-quality Products we keep for them.

Vegetable Growers Are Warned To Watch For Rubber Checks Commissioner of Agriculture Says Produce Buyers Often Give Worthless Paper Nathan Mayo, commissioner of agriculture has released a state- ment intended as a tipoff to Flor- ida growers, directing attentionto the importance of making certain that buyers of farm produce 'had qualified under the Florida Agricul- tural Bond and License Act. "Specifically," said Mayo, "I wish to warn watermelon growers whose melons are now rolling to market that they should be on the alert for unbonded purchasers. The Florida act, passed in 1941, requires pur- chasers of farm crops from pro- ducers to qualify by obtaining a license and filing bond guarantee- ing the payment for the produce bought from the producer. "This act, often referred to as the 'cash on the barrelhead' act, was passed-to put an end to trans- actions under which Florida farm- ers and growers were often fleeced by accepting payment in the form of rubber checks for their produce. The sum total of ithe losses to Flir- ida growers under the bad check system ran into many thousands of dollars per year. "Hundreds of carlpts of water- melons, cabbage, beans, tomatoes and other vegetables were paid for with spurious checks which bounced back in the face of the grower days after his produce had been de- livered to some distant city, and all he had for his hard work was a check carrying the doleful words 'Insufficient Funds' or 'No Account.' Under the present agricultural bond and license law, every dealer in agricultural products must ob- tain a license from the commis- sioner of agriculture and file a surety bond for the protection of the grower from whom he makes purchases. Violation of the act constitutes a misdemeanor and the first offense calls for a fine of not less than $250 or imprisonment up to six months, while the second or subsequent of- lense brings down a fine of $500 or imprisonment up to one year, or SATURDAY IS POPPY DAY- BUY A POPPY!
