PORT ST. JOE A Progressive Community With a Modern, Progressive Weekly Newspaper -a THE STAR THE STAR Official Paper for Gulf County, Devoted To the Continued Development of the Entire County "Port St. Joe- The Outlet Port for the Apalachicola-Chattahoochee Valley" VOLUME XIV FORT ST. JOE, FLORIDA, FRIDAY, JUNE 1, 1951 NUMBER 36 I- I Saints In Win Over Marianna Sunday 8 To 6 Locals Overcome One-Run Lead of Visitors in 'Lucky Seventh' The 'St. Joe Saints came through with another victory Sunday at Centennial Field. when they downed Marianna 8-6 by overcoming the visitors' one-run lead in the"lucky seventh." Everything looked rosy in the opening frame when Leonard Belin slammed a homer over the left wall with Wagner, Price and Branco on -base, but the Jackson county boys came Iback in the top of the second to make it 4-3 with Pompelin, Tay- lor and Fellows crossing the plate. The third was uneventful, but in the fourth Marianna chalked up three more on two errors and three hits off Eddie Meharg, who was re- lieved during the inning by Mc- Crary. St. Joe made it 5-6 in the bottom of the fourth when Godfrey was handed an Annie Oakley and Price and Bianco nicked Thomas for a couple of singles. The Saints put the game on ice in the seventh when Craig and Weisen'back were walked; Maxwell took two bags on a long drive to left field to send Craig across the plate, and Weisenbach came home' on a wild pitch. One more was scored in the eighth when: Wagner was safe as. the centerfielder i opped his high fly; he stole second, went to third on a wild pitch and scampered across the plate on Price's liner through the pitcher's box. Thomas was relieved on the mound at this point by Gable, but the damage had been done. It looked like another counter for the Saints when Belin took a standup double on a drive to the left field- fence, but he died on base when, with two away, Whitehead failed to beat out an in- field hit. Ashford was scheduled to play here last night under the lights, and Sunday 'St. Joe will play the return game at Ashford. Next week the Saints play Graceville Thurs- day night, and the following Sun- day Graceville will come here.

Move To Impeach Governor Warren Is Voted Down Only Six Members of House Favor Measure By Miamibn The Florida house of representa- tives Monday refused to vote ar- ticles of impeachment against Gov- ernor Fuller Warren 'by flatly re- jecting a resolution of Representa- tive George Okell of Miami calling on the house to set the impeach- ment machinery in motion on the grounds that. Warren had disre- garded his duty and ignored law- lessness in the state. Only six, representatives voted on Okell's side on a roll call he in- sisted on for the record after the house already had defeated his pro- posal by a voice vote. The house also agreed to expunge from its records all 'but the title of Okell's 46 pages of proposed ar- ticles of impeachment on the ground that it would be too expensive to print in the house journal. Governor Warren thanked the house Tuesday for its "vote. of con- fidence" in refusing to vote 'the ar- ticles of impeachment, saying: "I am more grateful than I can say for the legislature's almost unanimous vote of confidence. Now that the people of Florida have spoken through their elected repre- sentatives, I invite everyone to join us..in'the unc-i-iieg efforts of our administration to make state gov- ernment more of a blessing and less of a burden, which efforts have re- sulted in higher prosperity and greater progress than Florida has ever before enjoyed. I hope we may all march one way in mutual, well- beseeming ranks. "I rededicate myself to renewed service to all the people of Florida." Gulf County Chapter Receives Check for Polio Patient Care Half of $700 Raised In Recent Fund Drive Will Go for Care of Locally Stricken A check for $350 to help provide care for local polio patients has been received 'by the Gulf county chapter of the National'Foundation for Infantile Paralysis, it was an- nounced this week by Joe Mira, chapter chairman. When March of Dimes funds are raised, 'Mira explained, half stays here with the local chapter and half goes to national headquarters for research, professional education and Emergency aid to chapters whose own funds have been exhausted by the demands of patient care. The check just 'received comes from this 'pooling of chapter funds at na- Stional headquarters. Mr. Mira said record-breaking polio incidence during the last three years had exhausted the treasuries of hundreds of chapters across the country and that in many cases S1951 March of Dimes funds had t been committed to the payment of f old bills before this year's firsi .case had been reported. At present the Gulf county chap ter is providing funds for the care f in whole or in part, of three pa y tients afflicted this year, in addi f tion to underwriting the patient 5. care costs of one stricken prior t( January 1, 1951. Power Off Sunday To Cut In Line To Beach Electric current will be cut off from 9 a. m. to 12 noon Sunday in Port St. Joe from First Street to the north city limits, in the colored quarters, Kenney's Mill, Highland View, Beacon Hill and Mexico Beach as a new 12 KW line to the beach area is cut in by the Florida Power Corporation. Rich Porter, local manager for the power company, says the line will double the present capacity and give customers better and more dependable service in the rapidly growing, beach area. ------- ----- Welfare Roll Bill Goes To Warren If Measure Becomes Law, Lists Will Be Available for Pub- lic Inspection A bill designed to make available official public inspection of Flor- ida' welfare rolls cleared the legis- lature Monday and was sent to Gov- ernor Warren, The house adopted a conference committee amendment which pro- hibits use of welfare rolls for "com- mercial or political purposes." The original senate amendment had closed the rolls to anyone "not di- rectly connected with the adminis- tration of public assistance." The house refused.to accept this por- tion of the amendment, and the bill went to a joint house-senate con- ference committee. If signed into law by Warren, the statute will conflict .it" a U. S., regulation that welfare rolls are to be closed to 'public view. However, should the federal government cut off its share of welfare money, the measure permits the seven-member state cabinet to susperid its pro- visions "at any time the best in- terests of the general public will best be served." The cabinet thus holds the power to declare the rolls closed if the federal government threatens to cut its contribution. If it becomes law, the measure requires the district welfare boards to file the welfare rolls with the clerk of the circuit court by Octo- ber 1 and every three months after that date. LAW REQUIRES PRACTICAL NURSES TO BE LICENSED Governor Warren signed into law Wednesday a bill requiring practi- cal nurses in Florida to be licensed. A former law required registered nurses to hold licenses, but the new law includes practical nurses under the licensing provisions. Qualifications for licensing as a practical nurse include two years of high school or its equivalent and graduation from a state-accredited school for practical nursing. ---- ---- Operation Interrupts Honeymoon Charles T.

It regu- lates procedure in all juvenile courts, provides for private and in- formal hearings and requires that children kept in custody be segre- gated from adults. No child can be kept in jail unless no other place is available. The bill permits counties, but does not require them, to spend up to an amount equal to 25c per year for each inhabitant of the county to op- erate the courts. This also would be used to.pay salaries to the judge and counselor on a sliding scale ac- cording to county population. The bill does not create any new juvenile courts 'but applies to the Eight courts now established. It ,will also apply to any other juve- Snile courts which may be created Sat later legislative sessions and to Juvenile courts presided over by the county judges in all other coun- ties. ______ I Undergoes Tonsilectomy o Lloyd Beasley underwent a ton- Ssilectomy last Friday at the Port St. Joe Municipal Hospital.

Our Country, t Right or Wrong HUNTING AND FISHING IS BIG BUSINESS Our natural resources are endangered now, as never before, by those greedy persons who would destroy them for profit, using our national de- fense as a cloak to conceal their operations. Out- doors people, hunters, fishermen and conserva- tionists, too long have been scoffed at as "dream- ers" and nature-lovers who impede progress by their determination to save our dwindling wild- erness areas. The editor of The Star received an advance copy of the June issue of Sports afield magazine, and in it is an article by Arthur Carhart which shows their place and our natural resource's place in the national economy. He reports that sportsmen last year alone spent more on dogs than what the public paid to see all baseball, football, basketball and hockey games, horse races and prizefights, both ama- teur and professional. If this fact is amazing, the nine billion dollars spent by licensed sportsmen is even more so. This figure represents nearly 50 per cent more than the total business of all gasoline stations in America. It is more than the money paid for all cattle and hogs in the niarket last year and nine billion dollars is a conservative figure. If the unreasoning -exploitation of our natural resources, which in turn means.the death of fu- ture hunting and fishing, is allowed to continue, then we Americans, in preparing our defenses, will have wrecked one of the very things we are fighting to preserve. Every hunter, fisherman and camper in Gulf county knows that the enjoyment of his sport cannot be measured in dollars and cents, but if money values must be used to fight greed and wedding date will be announced la- ter.

Dowda of Putnam county, its sponsor. Dowda withdrew the 'bill with the remark that it was "not of suffici- ent importance to consume the time of the house," referring to the fact that but .five days remain before adjournment of the 1951 session. The measure would have made it unlawful for newspapers to charge more for political advertisements than for other display advertising. the waste of our natural wealth, then sportsmen have a mighty wea- pon which they can and must wield in defense of these resources.

JOE, GULF COUNTY, FLORIDA PAGE FOUR FRIDAY, JUNE 1, 1951 i-KILPMT I --------------- What Happened Last By J. KENNET This last week of the 1951 legis- lative session found house and sen- ate in disagreement over raising taxes to meet higher appropria- tions. The senate has passed a re- vision of the 3% sales tax to pro- vide $17,500,000 yearly in fresh money to meet increases for old folks and teachers. The house has okayed increases, too, but at the time this is written, had not agreed to any form of new taxes. SThe economy bloc was riding high in the house. Big question was whether pressure from school and welfare lobbies would break their resolve to go back home without increasing the tax load. No Corruption, Says Committee The Haley committee has re- ported, but found no. positive evi- dence of corruption. They did re- port almost Inbelievable ineffici- ency in the state racing commis- sibn, based on only a sketchy ex- amination of the members. No evi- dence of wrong-doing was laid to Governor Warren, although they noted he had spent more than the law allows on his election. The committee asked to be con- tinued for two years with $50,000 for expenses, to continue probing for corruption in high places. As a by-product of the Haley investiga- tion, the legislature has ordered the racing commission to open its books and confidential files to state and. county officials. Fate of Racing Bills-Doubtful Racing has figured only briefly in the legislative news, and a threatened blow-up over harness racing didn't develop any steam. Speaker B. Ellibtt of Palm Beach county -was able to blast two har- ness track bills out of unfriendly committees, first, by appealing to the 'house membership for a local Palm Beach county bill to let them have harness racing,, and second, by. stacking --h e,-house ,public amusement committee" with six new members, he got the same commit- tee to release a general bill per- -mitting harness racing. .-4EH44 i V-I. l i ni I lll A rB -u L ZZri envouj u W.....

The measure, inspired by the sen- ate crime committee, prohibits any individual from contributing over $1000 to any one candidate in any one state or county primary or elec- tion, and any contribution is un- lawful if made by racing interests, intoxicating beverage licensees, or operators of public utilities. The crime committee's bill, as originally passed by the senate, banned anyone' connected with race tracks to "make any contribution whatsoever to any political party or to any candidate for any state, county, district or municipal of- fice." Opponents of the measure argued that the bill discriminated against racing interests since there were other groups which -contributed to campaigns, and said the measure would make "intentional or unin- tentional criminals out of every candidate." .Barbed wire for cattle fencing was invented by an Illinois farmer in 1872.

GEORGE TAPPER TALLAHASSEE, May 31 The big news, of course, this week was the attempt by George Okell, rep- resentative from Dade. county, to bring impeachment proceedings against the governor. After thor- ough investigation by the special committee appointed to look into the articles of impeachment, the com- mittee found that Okell did not have enough evidence bn which im- peachment proceedings could be brought. The house overwhelm- ingly votqd it down 76 to 6. .This seems to prove that Goyvernor War- rne is not guilty of the allegations that have been made against him by unfriendly newspapers and mag- azines. .The new city charters for Port St. Joe and Wewahitchka, which will allow them to levy excise taxes were tied up in the senate commit- tee on finance and taxation as ob- jections were raised to extension of taxing power to the commission; but were brought out Wednesday, with other local bills, when a dele- gation from the house threatened to block local legislation of all 13 members of.the senate committee. On my two gas bills, the'one for Wewahitchka is law, and the one for Port St. Joe was approved by the senate Tuesday. The claim bill which would pay Alfr-ed Morning (colored) $3700 for the death of his son is now pending on special order calendar in the senate and should be passed. My bill which appropriates $10,- 000 for Constitution Park is-in the senate appropriations committee and I still have hopes of getting it out before the session ends. The conference committee on ap- propriations has reported out a compromise appropriation bill which comes to.$274,056,984. This bill was acted upon Wednesday. With this appropriation as presented by the committee it appears that we will have to raise around $10,000,0.00 in new taxes. Last 'Saturday I introduced a bill which would allow an exemption on the gas tax used by farmers and commercial fishermen. Next week I hope to give a brief resume of the proceedings of the 1951 session and the actions taken ,by your representative in these pro- ceedings if Editor Bill can spare me the necessary space. Motorists Safest In Union County People Run Biggest Hazard In Col- lier County, According to State. Bureau of Vital Statistics What is the safest county in Flor- ida where auto accident fatalities are concerned? Which is the most dangerous? Recorded figures released by the Florida State Board of Health bu- reau of vital statistics showed that during the past five years on an av- erage, people were safest in Union County, in the northeastern section of the state. People ran the biggest hazard during the same period in Collier county, on Florida's lower west coast. S Union county rated tops for auto safety with a five-year average of 10.2 fatalities per 100,000 popula- tion, while Collier dragged on the bottom in 67th place, with an aver- age of 98.0 fatalities -per 100,000 population. ;- Use of accident rates upon which the report is based might give a misleading impression fbr Union and Collier counties, however. Be- cause of the small population of these counties, it takes only 'a few such deaths to compile an impres- sive accident death rate. Collier county auto accident deaths totaled- 29 for the five-year period. For the state as a whole, 1950 was the deadliest of the past five years in the auto accident field. Last year's total of recorded deaths was 893 persons as compared with 704 during 1949. Other years in the five- year survey period include: 1948, 734 deaths; 1947, 807. deaths; 1946, 788 deaths. Among the state's larger coun- ties, Escambia, in 28th position was the most dangerous, followed by Duval in 22nd place, and Hillsbor- ough in 18th -position. .Populous Dade county was in 14th place. Or- ange county was next with 13th rating, while Pinellas was in 11th position. Visit Grandparents Sumner.

However, it might be pointed out that Florida, one of the most popular tourist areas in the nation, has a heavy influx of automobiles from other states which, added to vehicles owned by Florida resi- deits, help to add their share to the accident total.

I hope that no member of my family goes off the deep end and wrecks their bank account just be- cause somebody designated June 17 as Father's Day. When I went to school I learned that June 17 was the anniversary of the Battle of CHOOSE THE Te of Chmpons/.

Call Then there's Mother's Day and 114. 6-1tt Father's Day, and countless other days and weeks and months during which we are supposed to perform certain duties if we are a normal person and given to bowing to all conventions. Then, of course, there are the old-fashioned days that we are obliged to respect, such as an- niversaries and 'birthdays. A conscientious person who de- sires to maintain a reputation for thoughtfulness has reached a point where it is getting to be a genuine burden. Instead of being able to get by with a five or ten cent greet- ing-card or a 50c gift, it now knocks a hole, in the old family budget of from 50c to $1 for a card and $5 or $10 for a gift. The box of candy that used to cost 50c is now from $1.50 to $4; the necktie we form- erly paid a half a buck for is now $2, and the bouquet of roses or car- nations is more expensive than a sirloin steak. Then we have Dog Week and Cat .Week when we are supposed to buy Fido an electric dog blanket and Pussy a catnip-stuffed sleeping bag and come' home with our pockets bulging with puppy 'biscuits, rub- ber mice and a toy fireplug. Now I am a reasonable guy and willing to go along with the con- ventions most of the.way, but this here day, week, month and year business is 'beginning to get on my nerves. I don't blame the merchandisers for doing'everything in their power to. build up sales, and I know that if we were to ignore all these aus- picious dates and. occasions the florists, greeting card folks, gift shops and department stores would be out of luck, but isn't it about time we set up a "Pay Your Bills First Week" and take care of that 601 Long Avenue NICE COOL BEDROOM, adjoining bath with shower; outside en- trance; quiet location.
