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, JULY 27, 1951 NUMBER 44 ......~C~ ~I = FII i sl-I'|- Work Progresses New Money Orders On Mission Lik Streamlined Affairs Can Now Be Cashed At Any Post- In C o Rate office or Deposited In Banks e As If They Were Checks Paving Project Being Pushed Thru Wakulla, Jefferson and Taylor Counties A survey of the long sought "miss- ing link" in the Gulf Coast High- way from Road 365 at Newport to Highway 27 at Perry shows that the $2,000,000 project is now about half complete and that it is hoped to be thrown open some time within the next 12 months. Completion of this section of road -long sought by residents of Gulf, Bay, Franklin and Wakulla coun- ties-will cut 18 miles off the dis- tance from Port St. Joe to Perry and eliminate the necessity of go- ing north from Crawfordville to Tal- lahassee and back down Highway 27 to Perry (a distance of 70 miles) for motorists driving to Tampa or other South Florida points. In addi- tion, it will be important to coastal defense in a national emergency. The new road will open to travel a section of Florida previously in- accessible to any but the hardiest hunters, fishermen and loggers. It passes through country where De- Soto; Naravez and Ponce de Leon explored in vain for gold and riches more than 400 years ago. This area also was the locale where two American generals, who both later bem.im.; y-e,.ldelti of the United States, fought Indians. Gen- eral Andrew "Old Hickory" JackL son chased the redskins through the piney woods and cypress swamps biak in 1818, and 112 years ago, General Zachary Taylor, then com- manding federal forces in Florida, also "fit" the Indians there. Greatest portion of the road is in Jefferson county, while the two end sections are in Wakulla on the west and Taylor on the east. Most of the highway is being con- structed through what state road department engineers term "almost impassable swampland." But old tram roads and trails are providing the roadbed in places. Number of Local Firms Are Ignoring State Law In talking with George Core, cir- cuit clerk court, the other day, the editor of The Star was informed by that genial soul that a number of firms and individuals in Port St. Joe are operating their businesses illegally because they have not yet complied with the state law that requires all fictitious trade names to be registered at the court house in Wewahitchka. In other words, all persons not engaged in business under their own names are required to register their business namewith the clerk of the' court. We informed George that this was really a shocking state of af- fairs and- that we would place the matter before our readers. Anyone who. has not complied with this fic- titious name law may drop in at The Star office and we will see that they are fixed up in the proper manner. Home From Vacation Mrs. Verna Smith and Miss Sarah Kelly .returned Thursday of last week from a two weeks' vacation trip tp points in Louisiana, Alabama and Mississippi. While in the Peli- can State they visited'with Mr. and Mrs. John Lane. Patrons of.the Port St. Joe post- office now find the new and more convenient' money order available at Chauncey Costin's stamp em- porium in the Masonic building. Principal changes in the new sys- tem, as explained to Ye Ed by Fer- rell Allen, make it possible to have a money order cashed at any post- office in the country, or it may be collected through any bank in the same manner as the depositing or cashing of a check. The new money order appears in the form of a punched card (similar to government checks) instead of the customary slip of blue paper, and purchasers will fill out the same form and pay the same fees as has been required in the past. The regulation that mbney orders must be cashed at specific postof- fices has been eliminated. Under the old system, it will be recalled, a (Continuer on page 7) Dry Weather Boosts Forest Purple Heart Awarded Posthumously To Roy Evans, Killed In Korea Mr. and Mrs. J. C.

Roy, 22 years of age at the time of his death, entered the service in June of 1947 and was sent to Korea in January of this year. He .was a member of the First Rahger Air- borne Division.

C., headed by Senator Holland, has asked a senate subcommittee to restore $5,261,343 which the house cut from flood control and naviga- tion appropriations for the state. Holland told the committee Flor- ida's projects are all vital to na- tional defense, but the state is will- ing to accept any across-the-board reduction voted by congress. He said the house, however, cut Flor- ida's projects 27.5%' w)iile th over- all reduction for all projects in the army civil functions bill was only 19%. One project, the Jim Wood- ruff Dam. at Chattahoochee, is ac- tually a tri-state project affecting Georgia and Alabama as well as Florida, Holland said. Among the Florida projects cut, the senate group was asked to re- store $200,000 cut from the $2,350,- 000 intracoastal waterway project, and' $700,000 removed from the $7,- 000,000 Jim Woodruff Dam project. County's Small Claims Court Is Now Functioning Businessmen ,Miy Now Col- lect Debts Without Hiring Attorney Gulf county's small claims court, created by local legislation in the recent session of the state legisla- ture submitted by Representative George G. Tapper at the request of businessmen of the county, has be- gun operations, with County Judge J. Earl Pridgeon presiding. Purpose of the court is to assist in the settlement of claims of less than $100 without hiring an attor- ney to file suit. A businessman or person holding such a claim may now merely file the claim with the court and the defendant will be duly notified. Settlement is made through the court. Judge Pridgeon points out that he is furnishing his office in the court- house at Wewahitchka for the work as required by the law; which also requires him to act as judge of the court. He says thlis new court was no idea of his, but was enacted by the legislature at the request of businessmen of the county. The fee for filing in the court is $2.50 (in advance), except in pro- ceedings of garnishment, attach- ment, replevin or distress, in which case the fee is $5. According to the law, judgments of the small claims court become a lien on the real estate of a defend- ant, situated in any county, from the time of filing in the office of the clerk of the circuit court of a transcript of the judgment. Appeals may be had from judgments re- turned in the small claims court to the circuit court. Jury trials may be had upon demand of the plaintiff or the defendant. Service Officer To Be Here Veterans of St. Joe and vicinity who need assistance in obtaining 'benefits under the GI Bill may re- ceive expert guidance from Pres- ton L. Nicholas, assistant state ser- vice officer, who will be at the city hall on Thursday, August 2, from 8:30 to 11 a. m. it Provides for Levy On Ducats Of All Types; Final Pass- age Set for August 7 At the regular meeting of the city commission an ordinance was read for the first time providing for the levying of taxes on admissions to all types of entertainment, includ- rig moving picture shows, circuses, traveling shows, theatrical perform- ances and other entertainments of' like character, prize fights, boxing and wrestling matches, and other athletic contests and exhibitions in- the city of Port St. Joe for admit- tance to which a charge is made. The ordinance will not apply to any performance, contest or exhi- bition in Which local school chil- dren perform for the benefit of their school or athletic association. It provides for a tax of Ic on each admission exceeding 8c but not ex- ceeding 25c; 2c on each admission exceeding 25c but not exceeding 50c, and 3c on each admission ex- ceeding 50c. The tax is to be paid by the purchaser unless the ticket seller elects to absorb the tax. For violation of any provisions of the ordinance a fine of not more than $100 may be imposed or im- prisonment for not more than 60 days, or ,9 .i' -such fine and im- prisonment in the'discretion of the municipal judge. Final reading of the ordinance will be heard at the meeting of the city commission on August 7, ac- cording to City Clerk Ben Dickens. Provision for the ordinance was made in a special bill at the recent session of the state legislature which was put through by the city due to the fact that a similar or- dinance in effect for several years was declared unconstitutional by the courts because its provisions were not incorporated in the city's charter. The special legislative bill was a change in the charter to al- low such taxation. ----~-----4 - Mrs. Tapper Receives Jolt During Electrical Storm During a rather severe electrical storm last Friday morning which hovered over our city for some time and during which several bolts were released by Thor, god of lightning, Mrs. Robert Tapper received quite a severe shock when one of the bolts apparently hit a power line. Mrs. Tapper was in the act of moving an electric lamp at the mo- ment, and the shock caused a numbness of her right arm. Accord- ing to word Wednesday, she is fine and suffered no ill effects from the experience other than fright. Several hot water heaters were also burned out by the bolt, and employes in the Florida Bank build- ing report that a ball of fire wan- dered harmlessly about after the bolt hit.

First, it's a federal law passed by the Pure Food and Drug Administration for the protection of the public's health and safety. Second, many persons are allergic to pencillin and break out in rashes. Third, if pencillin is not taken in proper dosage a person may build up a resistance to it and then, when it is really needed for some serious illness, it will have no effect. Fourth, sufla drugs are very toxic unless precau- tions are taken and administered properly.

Our Country Right or Wrong LET'S ELIMINATE THE PESTS By a vote of six to three the supreme court has ruled that a community can, if it so pleases, for- bid door-to-door peddling of merchandise and magazines. At present some 500 towns and cities have such restrictions, and the test case reaching the supreme court came from Alexandria, La. It was brought by the direct selling industry, which claims to do an annual business of about $1,400,000,000. Those bringing the case said much about free- dom of the press and freedom of speech, but the majority of the court recognized another and un- written right-the.freedom to be let alone. The court, in its decision, spoke sympathetic- ally of "the hospitable housewife, peering around her chained door" to find out who rang the bell, and what for. It was brought out in the hearing that doorbell ringers could be dangerous char- TEN YEARS AGO From the Files of The Star Building of Pipeline Proceeds Work was resumed this week on the Port St. Joe-Chattanooga pipe- line when the way was cleared by congress which passed legislation allowing pipeline concerns to se- cure rights-of-way .by condemnation proceedings.

Soule, but each time City Attorney Clay Lewis stated that while the city could pass such an or- dinance, chances were that it would be declared unconstitutional. Now that-the highest court of the land has ruled that such a regulation is legal, it behooves the businessmen of our fair city to appeal to the city dads to pass immediately such an ordinance. It would be for their own good, since every year they lose thousands of dollars worth of business to these fly-by-night door-to-door peddlers. Incidentally, such an ordinance cannot apply to the sale or soliciting of orders for the sale of milk, dairy products, vegetables, poultry, .eggs and other farm and garden produce. The three major catastrophes in the United States were the Chicago fire, the San Francisco earthquake and the failure of a haberdasher in Independence, Missouri.-The Co-ordinator. Newspapers in Russian dominated countries have about as much say-so as a man who has married a redheaded woman. A good way to retrench would be to quit pay- ing salaries to the unemployed who occupy posts in public office. It may be strictly our imagination, but the girls with the better figures seem to like vaca- tions at the beach. Quit looking at the thermometer during this warm weather-it oply makes you hotter.' POWERED VALVE-IN-HEAD BLUE-FLAME FOR THE JOB DESIGN COMBUSTION Automobile Liability Insurance Rates Up Already in effect are increases for automobile liability insurance rates, set by the state insurance commissioner because of "stagger- ing" losses in the last half of 1950 and the first part of 1951. Average increases: 30% for pri- vate passenger bodily injury, 20% for private passenger property dam- age, and 9% for commercial bodily injury. The commercial property damage rate was not changed, says Frank Hannon, local insurance agent, and there is no change in the rates for protection of the insured's own car, fire, theft, deductive collision, etc. So when your..premium for car insurance comes due, don't be sur- prised to find it upped $10, $12 or $15.

To make matters worse, almost every national magazine as well as our own local newspapers tell us of outrageous waste of tax monies on every level. Government offices are over-burdened with employees who are not needed. Bureaucratic officials exert more and more authority over the lives of citizens, maintain costly lobbies and public relations staffs to try and impress us with their import- ance and 'bamboozle congress into giving them more and more au- thority and larger and larger ap- propriations. Office holders, from the president on down, don't want economy in any department but scream for more and more money fof more and more boondoggling. Small fry poli- ticians see the "Big Boys" in gov- ernment getting away with it and follow suit in'our states, cities and counties. America's wealth and resources are being squandered at a fearful rate and yet the poor dumb tax- payer who pays the bill remains indifferent or actually eggs the spenders on by howling for some service that he feels will bring him or his family some special benefit, overlooking the fact that countless others like him are doing the same thing, and while he may derive some benefit from the service he is so anxious to get, he is going to pay many times over for other services to other people who mean nothing to him. We hear a lot of silly talk about "security". We listen to bureau- cratic propaganda about "free" ser- vices. Hog-wash and bolony! Wealth comes only from produc- tion. When we fail to produce we go broke. A lot of poor dumb, simple folks seem to have the idea that money the government throws away is some sort of play money. They overlook the fact that the govern- ment, federal, state, county and city, produces nothing. It has no money. It can't get any money un- less you work like a dumb ox and provide it out of your earnings. Over the years, all branches of government have created more and more bureaus to provide more and more so-called services. They send out reams of costly literature and press releases to keep us sold on these services and try to get us to approve more which they keep in- sisting are "free". President Truman with his social- istic "Fair Deal" program wants more and more of your money to throw down new ratholes. GoVer- nor Warren, following in his foot- steps, howls for more tax money and wants to saddle this state with a state income tax on top of all the other taxes. The people, they claim, want more services from the government. All right, Mr. Taxpayer, how many of the costly alphabetical bureaus now rbeing- operated; with your money did you personally ASK FOR? How many congressional or legislative committees .have you gone before and demanded that these services be provided and. begged, that. the- money to operate them be taken away from your pay envelope or your bank account? It won't be long before your big hearted Uncle Sam will be digging into your pay envelope again and taking another healthy slice from your pay. You say you don't like it. But you won't do anything about it. On top of that you are going to pay more money for gasoline for your car, more money for your cigarets and if you enjoy a nip now and then, more money for your nightcap. All these increased taxes mean more and more money for the poli- ticians and 'bureaucrats to play with. It's your money. You worked and produced to earn it. But you aren't interested in what is done with it. You hand it over and then look on it as money you are no longer interested in. Some day maybe it will occur to some taxpayer that he is being gloriously gypped and he will get up on his hind legs and demand a lot of this foolish government spending be stopped. Maybe some day enough of'you will get hurt to the point whire you will go to the polls instead of going fishing and vote for those candidates who will pledge themselves to reduce ex- penses, cut out unnecessary bu- reaus and give you something for your money. And.maybe, if you can find such a candidate you will keep 201 MONUMENT AVENUE an eye on him after election and make darned certain that he keeps his promises. I say MAYBE, because I doubt it seriously. But until you do, you can expect to pay more and more and get less and less.

You Couldn't Make a Smarter Buy! BEFORE you make any kind of deal on a new car, remember this: One of the most important things you buy when you buy a new car is its name! Just think for a minute what the Pontiac name means: It means a, car so thoroughly good it will give you years of pleasure. It means performance so satisfying you will look forward to every minute behind the wheel. It means a car so beautiful it stands apart from everything else on the road. The name Pontiac on your car means you are buying from a dealer who takes pride in the car he sells, the service he providesaand his place in the community. When you can buy all those things for the very low price of a Pontiac, what smarter buy could you make? Come on in and we'll talk deal- you'll be surprised how easy it is to become a Pontiac owner.

M. Kaufman, director of the University of Florida's school of forestry. He said this state has 21,- 400,000 acres of commercial forest lands, but its lumber cut has been steadily decreasing since 1909 until the demand for timber products is greater than the supply. In spite of the falling timber stands, forestry is the third largest industry in Florida. The tourist trade is first and agriculture sec- ond. In 1948, Florida's forest prod- ucts were valued at $232,000,000. Solution to the state's dwindling forest stands is sustained yield management, Kaufman said. With such management he thinks the timber growth can be increased at least eight-fold. Kaufman predicts that such a program ultimately will require 1000 foresters in Florida and an- other 1000 for forest industries. "In Europe," he said, "where tim- A PLEA (Continued from page 1) brains that are put into helpful ef- forts in the community were put into making the Sunday school the efficient and efficacious agent it should be, I believe that problems such as juvenile delinquency would be non-existent. ext Sunday's lesson is on "Tem- perance," 1 Corinthians 8.
