Governor Permits

Sales Tax Revision

Bill To Become Law


Allows Others To Automat-
ically Take Effect; Kills
Appropriation Items

In one of the longest veto mess-
ages of his career, Governor Fuller
Warren knocked out 28 items from
the two-year appropriations bill of
the 1951 legislature, along with $3,-
601,000 in proposed spending. His
veto will stand for the next two
years unless he should call the law-
makers back into extra session.
Vetoed in the bill were items for
completing Forest Hill female cor-
rectional institution near Ocala
($1,913,000) and for new buildings
at the state hospital, the state fire
college and Everglades fire con-
trol. A summer workshop program
also was deleted.
He also vetoed provisions which
would have frozen state salaries at
the May 1, 1951, level, prevented
one person from drawing compen-
sation from more than one state
source, reduced his executive as-
sistants from two to one,'made rac-
ing commissioners live on the same
expense scale as other state offi-
cials, and forced certain boards to
have their legal work done by the
attorney general.
Tax Bill Effective July 1
A sales tax revision bill which
adds about $2,000,000 a year to the
state's general revenue was allowed
to become a law 'Modday 'without
the governor's signature. It will be-
come effective July 1.
The tax broadening measure, was
one of hundreds which became law
automatically, the governor having
neither signed nor vetoed them
within the 10-day period following
sine die adjournment of the legis-
lature.
The new sales tax bill retains
most of the basic exemptions of the
present law. The change that will
be noticed most by the average con-
sumer drops the tax from a dime
purchase by starting collection on
the 11th cent of price instead of
the 9th.
*However, it starts the 2-cent levy
at 36 cents of purchase price in-
stead of 41 cents, and the 3-cent

Garraway Offering

Powerglide Rides

Local Chevvy Dealer Wants Every
Resident of City To Enjoy
Effortless Driving

if you want to drive a Powerglide
Chevrolet, visit the showrooms of
the Garraway Chevrolet Company
from June 18 to 30. Charlie Garra-
way has set aside special demon-
strators for use of the public, and
the period will be devoted to giving
as many people as possible rides in
the cars.
Charlie points out that Power.
glide differs from other automatic
transmissions in that it represents
a "package" improvement.
"The opportunity for mass dem-
onstrations in St. Joe will show
what owners have learned in more
than a billion miles of driving," de-
clared Garraway. "With Power-
glide, the car has no clutch. This
means the elimination of hundreds
of manual operations ifithre course
of an average day's driving. The re-
sult is that a driver finishes the
day more refreshed and relaxed.
"I'm urging everyone not yet ac-
quainted with Powerglide automatic
transmission to visit our showrooms
during this special demonstration
period to find out for himself all
the features of Powerglide auto-
matic transmission."

World War II Servicemen Must Be
Actively On A Program
Prior To July 27

By W. H. LINTON
Gulf County Segrice Officer
Most veterans of World War II
are aware that the deadline for be-
ing on an education or training
course as provided in the GI Bill is
July 27, 1951. This means that a
veteran that was discharged prior
to the above date and is not in the
service now, must be actively on a
program prior to July 27. Having
an application in for a certificate of
eligibility by the above date is not
sufficient-the veteran MUST be
on a program.
Also, if a veteran is pursuing
some objective after July 27, 1951,
and completes it and has a higher
objective in the same field he
wishes to train for, his application
for the higher objective must be
submitted before he completes the
one he is on.
A veteran on a program after
July 27 must pursue it continuously
until completion, except for custom-
ary or authorized vacations. One,
and only one, exception is made to
this, and that is the case of school-
teachers doing graduate work to-
wards a higher degree and em-

Graceville Drops

Out of Blal League

Withdrawal of Team Messes Up
Schedule; Effort Will Be Made
To Find Substitute

Many Port St. Joe baseball fans
were considerably disappointed last
Sunday afternoon when they ar-
rived at Centennial Field to dis-
cover that the game scheduled with
Graceville had been called off.
Seems that the manager of the
Jackson county team called Leon-
ard Belin, manager, of the St. Joe
team, a short while before game.
time to inform him that his team
would 'be unable to play and that
Graceville was dropping out of the
West Florida League since they
apparently couldn't make a go of
it and were receiving very little
home support.
Port St. Joe had defeated Grace-
ville the previous Thursday night
15-2 on their home grounds, which
placed them at the bottom of the
league standings with 10 games
lost and none won.
It is hoped that another team
can be found to carry out Grace-
ville's scheduled games, and it is
understood that Apalachicola is be-
ing approached on the matter.
The Saints were scheduled to go
to Chattahoochee last night, an'd
Chattahoochee will play here Sun-
day afternoon. Port St. Joe will go
to Bonifay June 21, with Bonifay
coming here Sunday, June 24.

Local bills which passed and af-
fect Gulf county are as follows:
A new charter for the city of Port

The citizens of Wewahitchka will
be given an opportunity to vote on
a new charter for their city, which
is primarily the same as the Port

People To Vote On Several Matters
The people of Gulf county will be
given an opportunity to vote, in a
special election, to see if they want
the expenditures of the board of
county commissioners and the board
of public instruction published each
month in the paper. This bill does
not intend to force the school board
to publish teacher's salaries, but
other expenditures.
Also they will vote on the ques-
tion of whether or not they want
the school board salaries raised
from $10 to $40 per month.
A claim bill passed-to ay Alfred
Morning, colored, $3,750.060 for the
death of one son and the injury of
another at the Highland View canal
bridge.
The state road department will
pay Rudy Gaskin $219 for the ac-
cidental burning of certain pasture
lands by a maintenance crew.

for Gulf county was established,
one of which runs from Wewahit-
chka across the river into Liberty
county and thence on 'to Crawford-

P.-T. A. Plans To Send

The 15th annual short course in
P.-T. A. leadership, known to most
as "summer institute," will be held
at Florida State University, Talla-
hassee, June 19.to 22, the theme be-
ing "The Citizen Child Growing To-
ward Maturity."
An interesting program has been
arranged, highlighting such out-
standing participants as Joseph K.
Folsom, Poughkeepsie, N. Y., na-
tional chairmen of parent educa-
tion, department of sociology, Vas-
sar College; Harry W. Seamans,
information liaison officer, division
of public liaison, department of
state, Washington, D. C.; W. Har-
old Wilson, head professor of logic,
University of Florida, and Thomas
D. Bailey, state superintendent of
public instruction.
The Port St. Joe Parent-Teacher
Association has earmarked funds to
send several persons to summer in-
stitute and it is hoped that all of
this money will be -used for this
purpose.
Those desiring to attend are
asked to contact Mrs. Rush Chism,
the new P.-T. A. president, or Mrs.
Ralph Swatts, acting regional di-
rector, for further information.
The average motor truck in the
U. S. today is seven years old.

Our Country -' Right or Wrong

LET'S GIVE OUR NEW SCHOOL A NAME
You may have noticed in the talks given by
the salutatorian and the valedictorian at com-
mencement exercises of the Port St. Joe high
school two weeks ago, both of which talks were
published in full in The Star, that both of those
young people referred to "this fine new school,"
or words to that effect.
Sure, it's nice to call our handsome and mod-,
ern school plant the "Port St. Joe high school,"
but something better than that should be in or-
der. We have our Centennial Auditorium, and
our new baseball field is known as Centennial
Field, and we have our Constitution Park, all of
which carry a thought, an idea of what they
stand for.
Perhaps some people won't agree with the
editor of The Star, but we would like to suggest
that we name our new school the Jessie Ball
duPont High School in honor of a fine lady who


has done more than any one person for the city Inn this week.
of Port St. Joe and its citizens-she has aided in Mr. and Mrs. M. K. Hurlbut and
the construction of our hospital and our water son Kenneth left Wednesday for Or-
I barflo whpr,-. Tv.vq Rirlhiif will n


softening plant, she has made donations for books
for our school library and many other projects
out of the goodness of her heart, expecting no
return on the investments that make life a little
better for the people of Port St. Joe.
Wouldn't it be fitting and proper for the resi-
dents of our little city to express their apprecia-
tion by conferring this small honor upon her?

THINGS WE NEVER KNEW
That Christopher Columbus' first name was
George and that his wanderings leading to so
many discoveries were due to the fact that his
rudder was always out of order.
That a rhinocero cannot be trained to bring
your slippers to you.
That 85,679,346 pots of mucilage on desks in
the United States have no mucilage in them, and
that the reason for this is that when you ask an
office boy for mucilage he thinks you want ham
with rye bread.
That Blackstone, the great authority on juris-
prudence, was always asking, "Now what do you
suppose this means?" and that Professor Ein-
stein's favorite expression is, "I can't figure this
out."
That a cactus plant put in a dress suit will
keep the moths out.
That "Referred to you for appropriate action"
means "Do you know what to do with it? We
don't."

"New hospital plan sweeps Yakuma. Entire fam-
ily protected from sickness, accidents and child-

GARDEN NOTES
PORT ST. JOE GARDEN CLUB

When To Feed Lawns and Gardens
For trees, ornamental fruit and
shrubs, feed Grotone once during
May and June. Use 1 pound for
each foot in height of tree, or 1
pound per foot measured on a line
from outer spread of branches.
Feed young trees up to five years
every six weeks, 1 to 1 pound of
Grotone per plant.
Lawns-Feed during this period,
June, July and August, if spring ap-
lication was made before March 15.
Feed 3 pounds of Grotone for each
100 square feet of lawn.
Note: One pint jar equals one
pound; one cup (8 oz.) equals a
half pound.
How to estimate the amount of
Grotone for lawn feeding: A lawn
area of 50x50 feet requires 75 to
125 pounds of Grotone, which is the
same as 3 to 50 pounds per 100
square feet.

STARDUST and

MOONSHINE

Some time back the city commis-
sion passed a resolution to order
lightweight summer uniforms for
the St. Joe police force. The new
uniforms have not yet showed up,
and we understand it is because of
unavailibity of sufficient cloth to
construct two uniforms for each of
the three officers, Chief Buck Grif-
fin and Officers Kelly and Hershey,
each of whom weighs just three
pounds less than a horse and whose
combined weight is unbelievable.

We've been wondering whether
that broken leg Mrs. Marguerite
Pridgeon suffered last week was ac-
cidental or not. We've been up
to their camp on the Dead Lakes a
number of times, and she always
complains about all the -housework
she has to do and how she'd like to
jut lie around and relax while Ed
and the kids took care of things.
. Good thing Mrs. Scroggins dis-
covered her plight first and took
her to the doctor, for probably if
Ed had run across her he would
have shot her to put her out of her
misery.

Harry Saunders is such a hard
'man to catch, either being in Key
West, Kamchatka or Kalamazoo
when we want to talk with him, we
are taking this method of thanking
him for two 'bouquets of gladiolus.
Don't know whether they were sent
to Ye Ed or to our wife pre-
sumably the latter, as we don't
believe Harry would be sending us
flowers unless we were the "re-
cently deceased."

the above mentioned descriptive

reality it is about as common and
everyday as a duck going bare-

NOTICE TO OUR READERS
Due to the increasing length of
cards of thanks after a death, on
which there has been no charge in
the past, The Star finds it neces-
sary to charge for these in future.
A minimum charge of 50c will be

per word for all over 30. Each name
on a single line will take a charge

BOY SCOUT NEWS
TIM ELDER, Troop Scribe

Boy Scout Troop 47 held its reg-
ular meeting in the Scout Hut Mon-
day night. This month's theme is
"Camping," and senior leaders wil
look over several possible camp-
sites for the summer camp. Because
of the housing situation, we prob-
ably will go back to the same camp-
site used last year in Camp Gor-
don Johnston. We will first improve
the lake conditions, the rotted pier.
rusty nails, etc. Letters were writ-
ten to secure camps elsewhere, but
the results are not yet known.
John Barrier was appointed troop
quartermaster. There will be spe-
cial storerooms for each patrol, and
each patrol must complete its den.
Work in the afternoons at the Hut
is encouraged by Scoutmaster J. T.
Simpson.
Scouts Raymond Lawrence, Billy
Gilliard, Donald Ramsey, Tim El-
der, Benny Roberts, Billy Quarles
and Leroy Gainous were awarded
certificates for junior assistant
scoutmasters. Earl McCormick and I
John Barrier are senior patrol
leaders.
The second week in August is
generally the week for our yearly
camp for one week. Scouts are
urged to start talking to their par-
ents NOW about attending camp.
All persons interested in Scout-
ing are invited to attend our regu-
lar meeting on Monday nights.

HEALTH ASSOCIATION
(Continued from page 1)
Briggs Scisson, "Red" Fuller, Tom
Coldewey and Miss Gilbert, county
health nurse.
Mrs. Jenney McKinnon and Mrs.
Prows reported on the state con-
vention held April 4, 5 and 6 in
West Palm Beach, and a report on
Gulf county tuberculosis patients
was given by Mrs. Lillian McNair.
Mrs. Kenney told of recent legis-
lation at Tallahassee which resulted
in the state tuberculosis budget be-
ing reduced and the passing of a
restraining bill which prohibits di-
agnosed tubercular patients being
at liberty in any community. The
president also stated that Mrs. Ken-
ney had been re-elected as state
treasurer at the convention in West
Palm Beach.
Harry Saunders, Gulf county seal
chairman, suggested that the asso-
ciation should become closer asso-
ciated with Gulf county patients at
the sanatorium in Marianna, and it
was voted to send a committee to
Marianna before each quarterly
meeting to determine needs of the
patients.
The group also voted to purchase
a film telling of the development of
the Tuberculosis and Health Asso-
ciation in Florida.
Next meeting of the organization
will be held in September at the
home of Mrs. Kenney.

Nearest Neighbor Planet
Mercury is the nearest of the
major planets. Its distance varies
from 28,600,000 miles to 43,400,000
miles, averaging 36,000,000 miles.
(The mean distance of the earth is
about 93,000,000 miles.) However.
in 1949 Dr. Walter Baade, of the
Mt. Wilson observatory, discovered
a minor planet, believed to be less
than a mile in diameter, which ap-
proaches within 17,000,000 miles of
the sun. Its greatest distance is
about 180,000,000 miles, greater than
that of Mars. The new little planet
has been' named Icarus, after the
boy in mythology who flew too close
to the sun.
