PORT ST. JOE A Progressive Community With a Modern, Progressive Weekly Newspaper 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 22, 1951 NUMBER 39 Local Boys Will Leave Sunday for Boys' State Two Youths Will Study State and Local Governments In Week At State University Willis V. Rowan Post 116, Amer- ican Legion, has completed plans for sending two local boys to the annual Boys' State to be held June 24-30 at Florida State University, Tallahassee. The boys are Jimmy Philyaw, sponsored by the Legion, and La- mar Freeman, sponsored by the lo- cal chapter of the Loyal Order of Moose. Each of the 'boys have com- pleted their junior year at the Port St. Joe high school, and were se- lected on the basis of their out- standing character and leadership in their classes. The boys will leave St. Joe Sun- day morning for the state capital and a week that will 'be long re- membered. No one will accompany them. The sponsoring organizations are paying the expenses of the two, including transportation, room and board and spending money. Along with 308 other boys from all over Florida attending this year's Boys' State, Jimmy and La- mar will spend the entire week studying the fundamental princi- ples of our American government through actual practices in the du- ties of city, county and state offices. -JK Florida Power Installing Communication System If you're wondering what that 65- " tirtordio'riast is doitig bck;of the Florida Power Corporation building on Reid Avenue, it is part of a short wave communication system being installed to afford quick com- munication between various offices of the company and its trucks. In addition to the installation in St. Joe, units will be placed in op- eration at Apalachicola, Carrabelle and Jackson Bluff. All trucks of the company will also be equipped with sending and receiving sets. Rich Porter, local manager, says it is really a big step forward, as it will give almost instant communi- cation between the'various district offices as well as crews out on the job. COUNTY'S TAX ON TIDELANDS HELD VALID BY STATE COURT The Florida supreme court ruled Tuesday that Florida's coastal coun- ties have the right to levy taxes on tidelands. The court's ruling came in a suit in Volusia county by the owner of a steel pier, located at Daytona Beach ,below the low-water mark of the Atlantic Ocean, who held that the county could not collect taxes on the structure.

Tax On Incomes Offered ByWarren To Pay Teachers Would Call Special Session If Legislators Will Agree To Submit Matter To People Governor Fuller Warren Tuesday proposed a state tax on annual in- comes of $10,000 and more to fi- nance a $300-a-year increase in pay for Florida's school teachers. Warren said he would call the legislature *back in special session only if three-fourths of its members will pledge themselves to submit the question of a tax on incomes to the people for decision. Because the state constitution presently pro- hibits the levying of a tax on in- comes, it would be necessary for the legislature to put a repealing amendment before the electorate. Warren's statement, relayed from a vacation spot, said: "It would per- mit big corporations, with annual incomes of hundreds of thousands and even millions of dollars, which now are paying little if any taxes, to provide the $12,000,000 which will be required during the coming bi- ennium to pay school teachers a $300 per year increase in salary." Asserting that power companies "now pay little more than token state taxes," Warren said that "it would not hurt them at all to make small tax contributions to our pub- lic school system." Continuing, he said that "banks are the biggest aggregaiton of wealth in Florida, and they pay even less state taxes than power companies. Their con- tinued rich prosperity depends in large measure on the maintenance of a sound school system. "If these, and other great sources of wealth in Florida, would back this proposal, it could be put over as a permanent source of school revenue. It would be a fine ahd pa- triotic thing for them to do and it (Continued on page 7) ----*^----- Infant Son of Mr. and Mrs. J. L.

The indict- ment resulted in Sullivan's temp- orary suspension, but Warren re- instated him when the state su- preme court threw out the indict- ment. ----- City Sprayed With DDT For Mosquito Control That wasn't a smoke screen being laid down Monday afternoon in an- ticipation of an aerial attack, *but a demonstration on spraying for mos- quito control by the state board of health, which poured a heavy mist of DDT over the entire city. The demonstration was in charge of C. J. Calloway of Marianna, who is with the division of entomology of the state health board. The demonstration was staged in hopes that civic organizations and city and county officials will see their way clear to continue this spraying work at two-week inter- vals for the benefit of residents of the community.

Kirkland of Orange county has come up with an idea that really is a wow, and one that should have been put into ef- fect years ago. He recommends control of racing and jai alai profits on the same basis as public utilities, mainly as a means of financing a $300- a-year teacher salary raise. Kirkland points out that private and public utilities are held down to a profit of six to eight per cent on the amount invested, and so why not limit race tracks and jai alai frontons to the same percentage? A glance as the report of the state racing com- mission shows that profits on these operations run as high as 300 per cent a year on the invest- ment-and the race tracks operate only a maxi- mum of 90 days out of a year.

Robert Tapper of this city was named as harbor master for the local port June 6 by Governor Spessard Holland, succeeding Capt. A. M. Jones, who has held the posi- tion for the past three years. Tap- per will hold the job until the No- vember 1942 elections, when the people of Gulf county will vote on the office as per a local bill passed at this legislative session. Colored 'Healer' Held Joe Lyons, coal-black negro from the West Indies, self-styled "divine .healer," is being held in the county jail on complaints filed by four white women that he used obscene and suggestive language in their presence. Lyons had an office in the colored quarters at Kenney's Mill where he worked on the super- stitious beliefs of the negroes, as- serting that he could cure all dis- eases through his divine powers. Kiwanis Club Names Directors At the regular meeting of the Ki- wanis Club held Thursday evening at the Port Inn, Roy Williams, L. L. Zimmerman, Lindsay Temple, Bert Hull, Bo Brown, C. W. Horton and John Blount were elected as mem- (bers of the board of directors of the newly-formed organization, and Thomas R. L. Carter was named as secretary. The name of Sheriff B. E. Parker was added to the roll of charter members at this time. Two Selectees Leave for Camp Roy Redd and William H.

Although clamor for a special session of the legislature continued to increase in school circles, the prospects for such a session for the single purpose of providing state funds for a $300 cost-of-living in- crease for school teachers remain uncertain. Leading educators will meet with Governor Warren in Tal- lahassee June 27 to discuss such a session. Legislative opinion remains di- vided on the subject. Many favor putting it up to local school boards and local taxpayers to provide the increase. Others point to the fact that a special legislative session, even though called for that one sub- ject, can waive the rule by a two- thirds vote and consider anything. Further, those members who can- not afford to remain in Tallahassee at their own expense for 20 days might demand pay, and others would fall in line. Some two-thirds of the members have indicated they will serve with- out pay, but there is no sign of weakening in the issue which split the session at the end, whether to take the required $12,000,000 for the pay raise out of a broadened sales tax on small consumers, or from higher taxes on big machinery and equipment purchases. Constitutional Amendments Twelve changes in the Florida constitution will be offered to the voters in November of 1952, for adoption or rejection. If adopted, these changes would earmark a part of the state auto tag money for the next 30 years to build school houses, add three justices to the seven-member state supreme court, give home rule to counties through uniform charter laws, es- tablish two new senatorial dis- tricts-one in Monroe county and the other in Bay and Washington counties-and make minor changes in several counties. New Racing Commission A new state racing commission took over this week from a five- man .board severely criticised by the Haley committee of the recent legislature. Following refusal of the state senate to confirm the five members, the governor scrapped the old 'board and named a new one which promises to meet with sen- ate approval. They are Carl Hanton, Ft. Myers publisher; State Senator G. Warren Sanchez, Live Oak; State Repre- sentative D. C. Jones, Naples; C. S. Isler, Panama City, and Law- rence Rogers, Kissimmee attorney. The old. board came under fire for its lenient policy toward book- makers and the conduct of its af- fairs. New Laws Now Effective Hotels and tourist courts and houses must hereafter tell how much lodging will cost-and how many units are available at all prices. This is one of the new laws which 'became official last week. Others: .. Raise Confederate pensions ($300,- 000 yearly) from $60 to $90 per month. Increase maximum workmen's compensation from $28 to $35 per week. Liberalize Sunday blue laws, to allow most businesses to operate legally. Provide mandatory jail sentences for bookmakers. Prohibit children firing BB guns or rifles unattended by an adult; Increase board of control (uni- versities) fromftive to seven mem- bers.

According to a recent press dis- patch, the senator is toying with the idea of selling his Hadacol busi- ness to a big drug house for $20,- 000,000 and running for governor of Louisiana. While I'm not familiar with Lou- isiana politics, I should imagine that a guy ought to be able to make a pretty good gubernatorial race with a campaign fund of $20,000,- 000, provided the value of the dol- lar doesn't drop too much between now and the time of election. Just why anybody with $20,000,- 000 would want to actually run for governor is hard to understand. With that kind of dough a guy ought to be able to sit on the side- lines and elect a dozen governors while he had all the fun and none of the grief. Few folks who have been tramp- ling all over each other to buy a family-sized bottle of Hadacol at $3.19 each ever realized that they were making a contribution to a gubernatorial campaign, and if the senator does get elected he will have more constituents scattered over more territory than any candi- date in history. Now the senator has the love, gratitude and affection of millions of folks who, prior to the discovery of Hadaccl, suffered with every- thing from hangnails to perncious anemia, but after taking 6, 10 to a dozen bottles are now so chipper that they can walk upstairs on their hands or chin themselves with one paw tied behind them. According to reports, every in- coming mail brings the senator let- ters of thanks and gratitude from hither and yon, and he is mentioned in the prayers of former sufferers. If successful in his campaign for governor he still probably will be the recipient of plenty of mail, but I doubt if it will be as interesting or pleasant to peruse as that he now receives. He will still hear from sufferers, but they will be burdened with ail- ments that no amount of Hadacol will relieve. They will probably read something like this: "Dear Governor You probably don't remember me, but I met you when you were in our parish dur- ing the campaign. I'm the guy who worked for you 18 hours a day pass- ing out circulars, and I personally delivered 183 votes. "But, governor, I was your friend long before you decided to run for governor. I started taking Hadacol 'way back in the early days, me and my whole family all took it and are still taking it. "Thanks to you I'm so full of pep, vim and vigor that I just can't sit around doin' nothing like I used to. I gotta have a job. I can't read or write, but I can ride a motorcycle and would like a job as a state pa- trolman, or tag inspector, or some- thing. Thanks governor, and God bless you. Your friend--Pierre." Well, it is the senator's life. He probably knows what he wants, but if it was me, I'd rather stay home and play Hadacol than be governor or even president. TAX ON INCOMES (Continued from page 1) would entitle them to the gratitude of the people generally." Declaring Florida's teachers were "grossly underpaid," Warren said at the same time the consumers in the state were already paying more than 80 per cent of all state taxes and "they can't stand an additional burden of $12,000,000." Rather, he continued, "it should be paid by I those who now ai'e paying little, if any, state taxes." Should the legislators agree on the proposed constitutional amend- ment, it could be submitted to the people in fairly short order. Instead of having to wait until the general election in November of 1952, when other amendments adopted by the 1951 legislature will be submitted, this special amendment could be acted upon at an extraordinary elec- tion held not less than 90 days nor more than 100 days after adjourn- ment of the special session.
