PORT ST. JOE A Progressive Community With a Modern, Progressive Weekly Newspaper THE STAR THE STAR Official Paper for Gulf SCounty, Devoted To the SContinued Development I of the Entire County * "Port St. Joe -The Outlet Port for the Apalachicold-Chattahoochee Valley" VOLUME XIV FORT ST. JOE, FLORIDA, FRIDAY, JULY 6, 1951 Gulf County Asked To Co-opetate in Strap Metal Drive Steel Production Program Faces Crippling Threat Unless Sup- ply Appreciably Expanded Farmers, industrial leaders and owners of automobile "graveyards" of Gulf county were asked by the federal government this week to co-operate in relieving the present nationwide shortage of scrap sup- plies at steel mills so that the na- tional program of rearmament can 'be carried out. A concerted effort in ferreting out scrap steel and iron from plants, warehouse, farms and from automobile graveyards and getting it moved into market channels to save the nation from a grave short- age at this time was requested in an appeal received by The Star from the U. S. Department of Com- merce in Atlanta, Ga. Inventories of scrap iron and steel at the nation's 200 mills and fouindries are "dangerously fow," said the department of commerce, and unless scrap supplies are ap- pieciably expanded within the next four months the steel production program: faces a serious crippling threat. without t sufficient supplies of scrap steel, which is essential to the production of new steel, a lag in the steel program would affect not only defense-supporting indus- tries .but would limit production of civilian consumer goods, .such as automobiles, stoves and refrigera- tors," it added. '" As evidence of the seriousness of the situation, the commerce depart- ment pointed to the fact that two large producers recently were oper- ating with less than a two-day sup- ply of scrap and that most other mills have less than a two-week supply compared with a normal 60- day or larger inventory. The present consumption of scrap steel is the highest in history, even higher than in the peak years of World War II. The highest war- time consumption was 24,500,000 tons a year. Last year, 29,500,000 tons were used, and this year the consumption is expected to.'rise to 32,500,000 tons or more, an increase over 1950 of at least 3,000,000 tons. (Continued on page 5) New Methodist Minister Is To Be Honored At Reception The Woman's Society of Christian Service of the Methodist Church announces that a reception honor- ing the new minister, Rev. W. J. Lindsey and his family, will be held at the parsonage Tuesday evening, July 10, from 8:00 to 9:30. The public is cordially invited, and the pastors of local churches are requested to make this an- nouncement in their Sunday ser- vices. 4-K --*-4- - INSTALLATION POSTPONED Due to the fact that several of 'the' newly-elected officers were on night shift at the paper mill, the installation of officers of Willis V. Rowan'Post 161, American Legion, was not carried out Monday night. The installation ceremony is now scheduled for Mdnday night, July 16. All members are urged to be present-especially the officers. --- -K-j City Commissioners Okeh Mosquito Deal Will Co-operate With Health Board On Fog Project; Seek To Have City Declared Critical Area Tha city dads at their meeting Tuesday night voted to co-operate with the state board of health in spraying the city at regular inter- vals for the control and eradication of mosquitoes and other pestiferous insects. The project will get under way as soon as the health board can make the necessary equipment available. Robert Bellows appeared before the commission with a request that j an effort be made to get this com- munity declared a critical area for defense housing in order to get easier credit terms for those desir- ing to build or buy houses. Only other matter of importance taken up by the board was the first reading of an ordinance vacating certain streets in that section of the city west of Highway 98 near the paper mill. With the exception of one, these streets, all dead end,, have never been opened. -- K Rotary Club Installs Officers for 1951-52 The Port St. Joe Rotary Club, at its regular meeting, installed the following officers for the ensuing year: Joe Mira, president; Her- bert Brown, vice-president; Sydney Jammes, secretary; B. B. Conklin, iergean-ai-a-arm, .and Otto Ander- son continues as treasurer. H. C. Brown, the outgoing presi-' dent, outlined the progress made .by the club during his tenure of office, pointing with pride to the accom- plishments made during the past year, despite the fact that the mem- bership was slightly smaller than the previous year. Joe Mira, H. C. Brown, Stafford Barke, Floyd Roberts, J. B. Harris, Franklin Jones and Jimmy Greer are the directors for the new year. The past president's button was presented to Mr. Brown at this time. ------+----- NO PROTESTS ON COUNTY TAX BEFORE EQUALIZATION BOARD No one appeared before the board of county commissioners Monday when it sat as -a board of equali- zation, and after waiting an hour the board accepted the tax roll as submitted by Tax Assessor Sammy Patrick. The board will sit again' on Au- gust. 6 for final acceptance of the roll and will again bend an ear for any complaints that may be pre- sented by property owners.

Local Merchants Take Interest in Louisiana Peddling Ordinance Consider Asking for Similar Law Here; Provides Fine of $100 Or 30 Days In Hoosgow Merchants of Port St. Joe are taking a keen interest in an anti- peddling ordinance enacted by the city of Alexandria, La., which, up- held Iby the U. S. supreme court, classifies peddling as an illegal nui- sance unless house-to-house sales- men have been invited by home oc- cupants. The ordinance does not apply to the sale or soliciting of orders for the sale of inilk, dairy, products, vegetables, poultry, eggs and other farm and garden produce. Pointing out that house-to-house selling by itinerant peddlers who do not pay a license is cutting into trade of local business houses to a large extent, a representative of the Port St. Joe Merchants Association stated that figures compiled na- tionally shows that in 1950, can- vassers sold the-third largest share of toilet:goods articles with 14% of the nation's total. Similar large per- centages prevail in numerous other lines, he declared. The Alexandria ordinance, which the St. Joe merchants are consider- ing having the city commission use for a model here, declares it to be a "nuisance for solicitors, peddlers, hawkers, itinerant and transient vendors to go in or pon private residences without having been re- quested or invited to ,do so by the owners or occupants." Maximum penalty for violation is a fine of $100 or imprisonment for 30 days, or both. -- ----- 0. E. S.

Visitors From North Mr. and Mrs. Howard Landers and Mrs. George Landers of Syra- cuse, N. Y., arrived here Tuesday to spend a week with Mr. and Mrs. D. J. Norris and other relatives. Slight Error Gets Editor In Dutch With Civic Clubs The editor has received a num- ber of threats, from shooting to poisoning to strangulation from members of the Port St. Joe Ro- tary Club and the Port St. Joe Kiwanis Club. The reason? We reported last week that Harvey Solomon had stopped off in St. Louis on his way home from a visit in Chicago to attend the Rotary Ihternational conven- tion. Seems Harvey is a Kiwanian, and that it was a Kiwanis Inter- national convention. The Rotarians say they don't want Harvey under any condi- tions, and the Kiwanians inform us that the article was a Rotary effort to undermine their organi- zation. Personally, we think both these organizations are doing a grand job in St. Joe, and regardless of whether a man is a Kiwanian or a Rotarian, he is still a good citi- zen. And, anyway, we can pass the buck to Tobe Schneider, who stopped us on the street and gave us the item. i Tax Roll Shows Drop From 1950 Millage Would Be Higher To Pro- duce Same Amount As In 1950; Difference Is $74,295 According to figures submitted to the board of county commissioners 'by Tax Assessor Sammy Patrick, the total valuation of taxable prop- erty in Gulf county for 1951 comes to $5,447,405, as against $5,521,690 for 1950-a difference of $74,295. Non-exempt lands this year on the roll come to $2,810,415, com- pared to $2,850,180 in 1950. Per- sonal property this year is assessed at $2,498,010, as against $2,532,530 last year, and railroad and tele- graph property remains the same as last year, $138,980. Exempt homesteads are placed at $1,525,970 this year, compared to $1,489,305 in 1950. Total valuation of all property in the county, in- cluding homesteads, this year is $6,973,375, as against $7,010,995 in 1950. Millage last year was 17.2, which raised $171,685 for. the county's governmental functions, and if the same budget is set up this year it will be necessary to raise the mill- age. Reason for the drop in the as- sessment roll was not available to The Star before we went to press. -4------- Holiday Blaze Does Damage In Quarters The St. Joe Fire" Department was called out 'about. 3:30 July Fourth to fight a blaze in the coibred quar- ters that for a time threatened to get completely out of control, there being nine buildings afire at one time. 'he blaze, of undetermined or- igin, started in a small unoccupied building at the rear of the Dew Drop Inn, a two-story frame build- ing, spread to an adjoining dwelling and to the inn, which was dam- aged considerably. Due to a shortage of firemen on account of the holiday, adjoining buildings caught fire, but eventu- ally the blaze was brought under control by the frantic efforts of the handful of firemen on the job.

S. sen- ate's crime committee Tuesday, in- forming them that he will not ap- per before the committee in Wash- ington next Monday, or at any other time while he is governor of Flor- ida. Warren told Chairman O'Conor that "Neither you or the senate committee has the power to com- pel me to obey its commands." He returned with his letter the' sub- poena served on him the other day by the committee which 'ordered him to appear and testify on'"wlat he knows concerning matters with- in the scope" of the committee's in- vestigation of interstate crime. Now it is up to the committee 'to decide what they'll do about the matter. One member stated they might ask the senate to cite War- ren on a contempt'charge. In brief, the governor had this to say: "I have a firm and fixed opinion that your action seeking to compel my attendance upon your commit- tee usurps powers reserved to the states and is an affront to the dig- nity, the sovereignty and the inde- pendence of the people of this .state. "To admit the power of your com- mittee to summon me from the state-of Florida at such time as it elects and for such period of time as it decides is proper is to admit that the committee has the power to remove me from this state, de- prive me of freedom of action in the performance of- my duties, and restrain me from the discharge of my responsibilities as chief execu- tive of a soverign state, and estab- lish a precedent for such action op the part of congressional commit- tees in the future. "Such an encroachment might well mark the beginning of the end of the dual system of sovereignty, federal and state, under which this nation was established: " Governor Warren previously had challenged several of the commit- tee members to debate with him on gambling in their own bailwicks, but all refused.

The favorite songs of the president were sung by the group. Mrs. Elwyn Blount, past noble grand of Melody Lodge, was director of the program. Mrs. Schreiber thanked the lodges for the courtesies shown her and gave an interesting and inspira- tional talk on "Love and Happiness of Others," her watchword.

JULY 6. 1951 Like Old Soldiers, Baseball Hereabouts Just Fades Away Chipley Editor Believes Hiring of Players Main Reason for De- cline In This Section (From Washington County News) Like old soldiers, baseball clubs in this section of West Florida don't die-they just fade away. Before World War II, amateur baseball was a sport no decent mid- West Florida town could be with- out. In the early 1940's, Manager Mike Toole's Chipley nine regularly squared off with Graceville, Mari- anna and Malone in West Florida's hottest amateur league. Chipley fans by the hundreds used to flock to the ball field on Thurs- day afternoons. The war came and went, and West Florida tried to pick up where it left off in base- ball. But somehow, the old spark of interest wasn't there. The fans wouldn't turn out. Chipley fielded a team for two or three years, falling right in with the new system of paying the players. This year, for the first time, Chip- ley organized no baseball team. But eight other clubs in West Florida got together. The West Florida League started the season with teams from Marianna, Graceville, Ashford, Ala., Malone, Chattahoo- chee and Bonifay. Malone-one of the ball-playing- est towns in West Florida before the war-dropped out before open- ing of the season, leaving but five teams, and Port St. Joe was ac- cepted into the league. Last week Graceville and Marianna folded. Roy Beall, manager of the Mari- anna team, summed up the situa- tion in his town. "The money and the players both gave out about the same time." The same story was probably true over in Gracevlle. 'That club played 12 games and managed to lose them all. At last report, the league's future was in doubt. What happened? Clearly the fan weren't as inter- ested as they were in the good old days before the war. Some folks say paid players just don't pull the crowds in this section like the old volunteer teams could. Others claim baseball slowed down here when fishing picked up. Whatever the trouble was, it was getting in its licks at baseball in West Florida. After 50 years, the sport seems to be fading away.

In fact, in Georgia's Colquitt county the anglers are threatening to boycott Florida fishing and con- fine their efforts to the waters of Georgia. A leading fish Ibait dealer in that county reports that of the customers he has queried not' one intends to pay the $10. The leading sporting goods store in Moultrie, Ga., which the past year sold $6,906 worth of non-resi- dent Florida licenses in contrast to $2,947.50 worth of 'Georgia licenses to Georgians, reports opinion to be strongly against the higher fee,,but anticipates about half as many $10 licenses will be (bought, neverthe- less, as were $7.50 ones. A little item that these Georgia fishermen don't seem to take into consideration is the fact that Geor- gia charges Florida anglers $10.25 for a non-resident license in Geor- gia and $3.25 for a short-term li- cense. But then, of course, up there in Georgia they don't have any fish to speak of. The state fish and game commis- dent fishermen are free to fish any- where they please in the 30,000 named lakes and 1500 rivers and streams that are found in the great fishing paradise that is Florida." s t f f d A Scientific Oldsmobile Tune-up Will Add Miles to the Life of Your Car!

The spoken word is lost; the printed word remains. Our Country Right or Wrong PLENTY OF RED TAPE AND HEADACHES Merchants of Port St. Joe were putting up their OPS ceiling price signs this week, and while de- livering the signs, the editor heard various and sundry comments on the OPS-none of them at all complimentary. "If you think the man running a retail store is having an easy time of it," said one harried mer- chant, "he should read some of the directives put out by the Office of Price Stabilization concern- ing what we must do to confirm with this blame price control law. It wouldn't be so bad if they'd put the directives in simple language-but no, they've got to be full of turns and twists and big words that get a guy all tangled up." Others stated that there have been so many different orders issued by the OPS that it is next to impossible to follow them, and if it were pos- sible to confirm to all of them, it would take a separate staff of office workers compiling data and filling out a seemingly endless stream of forms and reports. Several of our local merchants informed us that they haven't yet made their reports to the OPS and posted their price lists because they just haven't been able to donform with the regu- lations in the time allotted them. These men aren't the callous law breakers they might seem to be. They're simply small operators who haven't the time, the staffs or the knowledge to comply with regulations which have puzzled some of the top experts on business management and procedure and which at times have stymied those who drew them up in the first place. All of these merchants want to do their part in the effort to check inflation, but about all they get out of it is more and more headaches-and as the red tape continues to unroll, the situation seems to be getting more confused all the time. The editor of The Star daily receives from one to four "releases" from the Jacksonville OPS dis- trict office noting changes in previous directives, new regulations, etc., etc., which, if we printed all of them would require the addition of at least four extra pages in The Star each week. This thing really is getting to be a pain in the neck to the small businessman. WHAT A DIFFERENCE! We listened to a couple of guys in front of the postoffice the other day griping about not receive. ing sufficient pay for the work they do at the St. Joe Paper Company mill, and thatthe govern. ment ought to pass a law making employers pay a higher wage. We noted that both were well- dressed and well fed, and one of them got into a 1951 Hudson and drove off down the street. Those two guys should live in the Soviet Union -that wonderful workers' paradise-where only those who are tired of living criticize the gov- ernment and its major policies, where the work- man is paid by the government, where the gov- Sernment sets the price of food and every article, regardless of what it is, from toothpicks to auto- mobiles; where only those who crack the whip ride in cars and live in mansions; where the cost of living is geared to the point where the work- ing class can afford few luxuries, and if they could, nine chances out of ten the luxury they might crave would be unavailable. Yes, indeedy, we should let guys like those two have a taste of working conditions in Russia. They'd be tickled to death to get back to Port St. Joe where if a man doesn't like the job he's hired to do he can quit and look for another place to work. He's a free agent here-free to do as he pleases, go where he pleases and work for whom he pleases. A HEALTHFUL PASTIME Did you ever plant a picture? If you haven't, you may want to join the in- creasing number of Port St. Joe home owners who this summer will "put a picture in a picture window." They are learning, through the Port St. Joe Garden Club, how to eliminate eyesores outside their windows by replacing them with scenes of natural beauty. It's not necessary to be a gardening Rembrandt to perform miracles with flowers, shrubs and trees. By correct use of greenery, it's possible to convert your yard into a private park. You can screen off an eye-offending view of a neighbor's garage, blot out traffic on a busy street or elimi- nate other uil-.i i. i'li scene.:Landscaping also can assure privacy and provide children a safer place to play. Not only do such picture plantings improve the outlook of any home, but they enhance the value of the property, make a whole neighbor- hood a more desirable place in which to live, and add to the beauty of Port St. Joe as a whole. Getting rich isn't so difficult. Just learn how to make money faster than you can spend it-from there on, it's a cinch. Grandpappy Smith says the old folks had it on us. They weren't always worrying because the family nag wasn't the latest model. Our engineers perform miracles, but are still building highways that don't curve when the drunken driver does. Keep smiling. some time to get used to'his suc- pagne over Gilbert Jr.'s head. STARDUST and MOONSHINE (Held over from last week) The resignation of Henry Drake as postmaster is being sprung on the people of St. Joe this week as a sort of Ibombshell, or perhaps a bolt from the blue, since everybody has apparently taken it for granted that he would go on and'-on serving in that capacity. In fact, we had all got so used to having him around it ws .just like an old dog around the house-always underfoot and nobody paying much attention to him. Hank has been cussed and dis- cussed by practically everybody in town, including the editor, and he probably has cussed and discussed everybody in town, including the editor. Anyway, we'll all probably miss the old codger (he won't ad- mit his age, though he says he hasn't reached the retirement age of 65), and it probably will take cessor, Chauncey Costip, behind the bars. Bet for the first month or so Chauncey will be greeted with "Just what are oou doing in there?" and he'll have something to say that eventually will wear mighty thin before the kidding ceases. ... One of the main reasons, we believe, for Mr. Drake resigning is the fact that after next Thursday he would no longer have been able to park his car in front of the postoffice for longer than two hours. G. A. Vizcarrondo had a baby (or rather his wife did), and Mr. V. made quite a production out of it. He was so certain it was going to be a boy that he came into The Star office three weeks beforehand with copy for a card to be mailed out, thusly: "There Will Be Some Changes Made At Our House! Gil- bert Anthony Jr., Has Arrived." He proudly passed out cigars on the day of the great event, and last Sunday the new arrival was offici- ally christened. We haven't learned yet who broke the bottle of cham- As we stated in this column some time back, we thought we'd ex- hausted the possibilities of the $1.00 haircut, but there are still reper- cussions.. About a month ago we were up in Georgia visiting rel- atives of Myrtice's and while there got a haircut, a tonic and a shoe shine in Hawkinsville all for a buck. We told George Cooper about it a few days after coming home. When we got a haircut recently at George's tonsorial parlor he said, "We can give you a 65c haircut, too -but it'll cost you a buck." Willie Mazarol says we really got him in dutch printing that piece in The Star last week about the loaf of French bread he brought us from New Orleans. Says a number of his friends, after reading it, jumped all over him for not bringing them a loaf, too. .... "Have written my wife to bring home a trunkfull when she comes home," sez Willie, "so that everybody will be happy."

All too seldom does the consumer realize that a good part of the final costs consists of processing and handling charges, taxes and profits for those who process apd handle foods an.fibers. Naturally, the more a product is processed and handled after it leaves the farm, the higher the proportion of final costs which goes to others than farmers. Based on recent prices, the bu- reau of agricultural economics of the U. S. Department of Agricul- ture has come up with the follow- ing interesting facts and figures about certain processed farm prod- ucts: If the farmer gave away the wool in a $50 suit of men's clothing, the suit would still cost $40.50. If he'd give away the wheat in a 16-cent loaf of bread, the loaf of bread would still cost the consumer 13.4 cents. If the dairyman furnished the milk in a 22-cent to 23-cent quart of milk absolutely free, it would still cost the housewife 11.5 cents. If the farmer would give away the beans in a 16-cent can of pork and beans, the can would still cost 14 cents at the grocery store. And if the tobacco grower gave away the tobacco in a 20-cent pack of cigarets, the girl behind the counter would still ask your for 17 cents for that purchase. To Spend Summer In Georgia Mrs. E. B.

The Saints took a two-run lead in the bottom of- the thirds but the Indians promptly made it 2-all in Their half of the fourth. The game rocked along 2-2 until the seventh, when the visitors chalked up two more, counters on three errors and a wild pitch. Their final score came in the ninth on a walk, a stolen 'base and a single. St. Joe didn't seem able to find. the offerings of the Indian hurler, and with several of the regulars missing, put up a rather weak ex- hibition. McCray on the mound for the Saints pitched a good game but received rather poor support from his team mates. Thursday night of last week a team from Eglin Field was downed 9-2 by the Saints, and- was sched- uled to play .again Sunday after- noon, but backed down. St. Joe was to go to Bonifay last night, and the Bonifay team will play a return game here Sunday afternoon. With but three..teams remaining in the West Florida League, Chatta- hoochee, Bonifay and Port St. Joe, league officials are endeavoring to set up sorne kind of schedule, which probably will include other teams. beside these three.

Tell the student, "Draw any money that you need for any college 'ex- penses, but no more than you need, an'd get passing grades." Then one last parting warning: "Now, no foolishness, or you and I are through." This honor system has worked without a hitch for over 20 years for a local businessman. The' man who invented it asked the News to withhold his name out of modesty. To him, this "blank check" scholarship plan does not seem unusual. He is only amazed that other businessmen have not hit upon the same idea as a means of serving and improving the com- munity. If others would follow his lead, he points out, all graduates of Okee- chobee high school would have an opportunity to get a college educa- tion, whether they could afford it or not. The local patron of impoverished college students estimates that his hobby costs him about $800 a year. He does not require the students to render an accounting of their ex- penditures, .but none of them have taken unfair advantage of his gen- erosity. The present holder of the unoffi- cial scholarship is a freshman at Florida State University. When he is graduated, the local businessman will pick another candidate and start him on a college career. "I only had an eighth grade edu- cation myself," the local business- man explains, "and I know the value of a college educatini"-The Olkee- chobee News. Vacationing In Jacksonville Mr. and Mrs. T. O.
