JOE, FLORIDA, FRIDAY, JULY 13, 1951 NUMBER 42 II Postal Receipts. On Rise As Costin Takes Over Office Show Increase for Year End- ing June 30 of $1,282 Over 1949-50 Receipts of the Port St. Joe post- office are on the upgrade as Chaun- cey L. Costin takes over the duties of acting postmaster, replacing H. A. Drake, who retired from the po- sition after 32 years of service. Figures as prepared by Postmas- ter Drake for the fiscal year ending June 30 show that there was an in- crease of $1,282.32 over the same period last year. Gross receipts for 1950-51 were $20,828.66, as com- pared to $19,546.34 for 1949-50. Mr. Drake points particularly to the fact that practically all of this increase over the previous year oc- curred during the quarter ending June 30, receipts during that time being $5,227.41 as compared with $4,098.07 for the same period last year. Acting Postmaster Costin, who has been a resident of Gulf county since 1910, having resided in this city from 1910 to 1930, in Wewa- hitchka from 1930 to 1943, and at Beacon Hill from 1943 to the pres- ent time, states that it is his inten- tion to move back to St. Joe just as soon as he can make suitable dis- position of his cottages and store at Beacon Hill.- .,. Mr: Costin is..agraduate of the Port St. Joe high school, class of '28, attended Georgia Tech for the 1928-29 term, and attended the Uni- versity of Florida for the 1929-30 term. He served as superintendent of schools for Gulf county from 1932 to 1941 and was employed by the National Youth Administration from January of 1941 to June of 1942 as area student work officer, having his offices in Jacksonville. In June of 1942 he was employed in the time department of the Wain- wright Shipyard at Panama City, holding that position for a year, at which time he moved to Beacon Hill.

Action Urged To Safeguard Mullet Food Fish Are Fast Disappearing Off West Florida Coast, Says Conservationist State Conservation Agent D. O. Boyer this week warned that the old Florida standby-mullet and grits-might soon be a thing of the past if something isn't done to pro- tect the supply of fish. He said the mullet are fast dis- appearing off the west coast of Florida just as sponges did a few years back. He suggests that the state legislature hold a special ses- sion, if necessary, to lengthen the closed season on the fish. The pres- ent closed season is from Decem- ber 10 to January 20.

Our Country Right or Wrong RUSSIA TELLS US Remember when General MacArthur wanted to call upon the Chinese Reds to meet for a con- ference to end the Korean war? He was damned by the politicians, including your friend (he ain't ours) Harry Truman, told he had exceeded his authority, and was yanked from his command. But when Russia's Malik says "Let's see what can be done," immediate steps are taken to dis- cuss some sort of truce. And yet Russia, all the while has been proclaiming loudly that she has had nothing to do with the Korean situation- was merely sitting on the sidelines to see what would develop. Isn't it about time we stopped letting Russia call the shots in this cold war turned hot? Why don't we take the initiative and put the decision for war or peace in Russia's hands? The editor of The Star listened to a radio TEN YEARS AGO From the Files of The Star Alex Hill Dies In July 4th Crash Alex J. Hill, '31, died Saturday morning in a Panama City hospital from injuries received July 4 when his car crashed into a truck while en route to the Fourth of July cele- bration at Panama City. Mrs. Hill and George Lunsford, also occu- pants of the car, were seriously in- jured, while Mr. and Mrs. R. C. Hodges and baby, Miss Alma Wood, Miss Juliette Darcey and Charles Pridgeon, other members of the party, received minor cuts. N. B. Smith Called By Death Napoleon B. Smith, 64, passed away at his home Wednesday morn- ing from a lingering heart ailment. Funeral services were held Thurs- day at the Southport cemetery.

Stone- Bryan Announcement is being made of the marriage of Miss Marie Edith Bryan, daughter of. Mr. and Mrs. Robert B. Bryan of Wrightsville, Ga., to Nobie Higdon Stone, son of Mr. and Mrs. T. H.

No More River Junction The little city 6& River Junction, incorporated in 1921, is no more, for the qualified voters went to the polls Tuesday and voted 213 to 52 to abandon the name and incorpor- ate as Chattahoochee. Personals Miss Mary Johnson has been se- lected by the Epworth League to attend the young peoples' assem- bly at Huntingdon College, Mont- gomery, Ala. Mr. and Mrs. Chauncey L. Costin and daughters of Jacksonville spent several days here last week as the guests cf Mrs. R. A. Costin. forum Sunday night in which Republican and Democratic senators heatedly discussed the so- called Korean "incident." The Republican sena- tor wanted to know why the battle line was drawn at the Yalu River, why Red bases in China had not been bombed, why the huge reservoirs supplying electric energy to the Reds had not been destroyed when they fell into American hands, and other questions. The Democratic senator whooped and hollered and said the bigwigs in Washington knew what they were doing, that they were only "policing" Korea, and that all they had hoped to get in Korea was a stalemate. Does a stalemate appeal to you readers of The Star? It doesn't appeal to your editor. If that is to be the sum and substance of the fighting in that godforsaken country and the basis for a negotiated peace, thousands of American lives have been wasted in a poor cause, including three of our own young men from Port St. Joe. The Russian-backed Red Chinese probably will settle for some sort of armistice, agreement, or whatever you care to call it, but, like other agreements signed by Russia, it will not be kept. Russia, as has been proven time and time again, thinks nothing of lying, and of violating both the letter and spirit of solemn agreements, so we *shouldn't expect anything from any agreement reached on the Korean situation.. Russia cannot be stopped with "agreements" or pious words. There is only one thing she can understand, and that's bombs and shells. So long as this "co!d war" goes on in the present tenor there can be no stability and safety in the world for anyone. The barefoot boy of today is the taxpayer of tomorrow, and the taxpayer is the barefoot man of tomorrow, from present indications. / O WIW GARDEN NOTES PORT ST. JOE GARDEN CLUB --Q Watch Out for Borers The greatest difficulty in ccmbat- ing borers is that we often do not suspect trouble until the plants are practically dead, then it is too late to do anything about it. Best means of detecting borer trouble is close inspection of plants every couple of weeks. As socn as little holes are noticed in the bark of trees, dahlia stalks and shrubs, it is a good indication that borers have made their entrance. Here in the South the following plants are often attacked by borers: Squash, cucumber, melons, corn, peach, plum, dogwood, deoder ce- dar, lilac, roses, dahlia, iris, pines, oaks and azaleias. Borers do not at- tack healthy plants. They seek the plants that are weakened by star- vation, drought, winter injury, in- juries and carelessness of wood dis- posal. Be careful not to break the bark of trees with garden tools. Control method depends upon the kind of plant affected. Spray corn, dahlias, iris and shrub stems with DDT to prevent entrance of these pests.

Deadline Is Near On GI Training Service Officer Warns Veterans To Hop To It If They Want To Get On the Bandwagon But 12 days remain for veterans to take advantage of vocational training offered under the GI Bill, says Bill Linton, Gulf county ser- vice officer. The legislation provides that vet- erans discharged on or 'before July 25, 1947, must be in actual training on or previous to July 25, 1951. To initiate GI Bill training by the cut- off date means the applicant must actually begin training rather than file application before that date. Linton calls particular attention to the fact that the necessary cer- tificates, if issued within the last few days prior to July 25, might not, after receipt by the veteran, afford sufficient time for most vet- erans to start their training. He emphasized that actual starting of training, and not merely enrollment in a school or training establish- ment; is required if the government is to bear the costs of the training under the GI Bill. Linton further stated that each veteran should assure himself, by inquiry'of responsible officials, that the school or establishment he seeks to enter is approved by the state of Florida and by the admin- istrator of veterans affairs, as both such approvals are required if the (SEAL) My commission expires July 11 RALPH E.

Coopers and the Loydds Enjoy Deep Sea Fishing Mr. and Mrs. George Cooper of this city met Mr. and Mrs. Murry Loydd and three other couples from Opp, Ala., on the Fourth of July at Fort Walton for a deep sea fishing trip. Only ones not suffering from. mal- demere (seasick, to you) were the Coopers and Mrs. Loydd. Murry said this was one time he was glad his wife was along, otherwise there would have been no fish in the Loydd larder, since he wasn't at all interested in fishing. However, he reports that he did recuperate suf- ficiently to enjoy the return boat ride to terra firm. Mrs. Cooper and Mrs. Loydd took top honors, catching the first fish of the day. However, Mrs. Cooper says she won't take time out next time to eat lunch, for while she was masticating a sandwich, etc., her husband brought in three choice grouper. The Coopers reported about 50 pounds of snapper and grouper, while MRS. Loydd caught 9 nice snapper.

COMFORTER FUNERAL HOME 24-HOUR AMBULANCE SERVICE 601 Long Avenue Phone 326 Day or Night Son of Stansberry's In Serious Condition Word was received here this week from Mr. and Mrs. Robert F. Stans- berry, formerly of this city, now of 960 Fisher Drive, Houston, Texas, that their two-year-old son, Robert Joseph, had been placed in a hos- pital for the third time since May 29 of this year. The youngster is suffering from nephrosis, a form of kidney trouble that medical authorities seem to know very little about or how to treat it, and the outlook for the little fellow's recovery is a fifty- fifty chance at this time. The doc- tors at the Herman Hospital in the Teas city informed"Mrs. Stansberry that they could not tell her just how long the child would need to remain in the hospital; however, they hoped to be able to tell her more about his condition in the next three weeks, as they were go- ing to use th. newest drugs in treating him. The little fellow doesn't seem to suffer any pain, but is made very uncomfortable at times' by the tre- mendous amount of swelling thru- out the body, which is, a marked symptom of the disease. Mrs. Stansberry will be remem- bered here by her many friends as Maxie Ferrell, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. B. Ferrell. ------: - WONDER WHY?

WA Ll Hunting and Fishing License Sales in Gulf Amount To $18,917 Figures From County Judge Earl Pridgeon's Office Show Gain Over 1949-50 Fiscal Year Fishing and hunting license sales in Gulf county proved to be big business during the fiscal year just closed, County Judge Earl Prid- geon's report reveals. Total sales during the 12-month period came to $18,917.75, a gain of $5,025 over the 1949-50 fiscal year. Judge Pridgeon says the sale of fishing licenses appears to be about the same as last year, as far as out- of-state sales are concerned, and he believes there will be little, if any, drop in sales of non-resident li- censes this year on account of the boost in price from $7.50 to $10.00. Fishing and hunting is a prime source of revenue for a consider- able number of Gulf county resi- dents, particularly in the northern part of the'cointy. TIDES FOR ST.
