Alton Mc- Kithen was struck Monday after- noon by lightning, causing damage to the radio aerial and knocking off a hub cap. The car was parked in front of his home on Third Street. About noon Wednesday lightning crept into the Creech Bros. Laun- dry through a power line and melted the wires supplying juice to a 3 h. p. motor. No damage resulted to the motor and it was placed back in service within two hours. tivities. Should this effort be successful, residential credit controls would be relaxed, allowing smaller down pay- ments by purchasers on new dwell- ings. At present the down payment on a house costing in the neighbor- hood of $9000 is $1900 based on 10% on the first $5000 of cost and. 35% on the next $4000. The down payment jumps again when the cost passes the $9000 mark. Should the city be declared a vi- tal defense area, the down pay- ments would be about 10%. Robert Bellows recently appeared before the city commission with a request that the board take neces- sary action to have the city de- clared a vital defense area, and the .".-.....il .t.. -. ,"- '3 ing resolution, a copy of which has been sent to the chairman of the Defense Production Administration: WHEREAS, The Defense Produc- tion Administration has provided a procedure for designating critical defense.areas in which special ac- tion may be taken to assure the provision of housing and other fa- cilities needed for military'person- nel or defense workers required to be brought into such areas to carry out essential national defense ac- tivities; and, WHEREAS, The St. Joe Paper Company, a Florida corporation en- gaged in the manufacture of paper, corrugated containers and other products of paper essential to the conduct of national defense activi- ties, and with its principal mill site in the city of Port St. Joe, Florida, has secured from the federal gov- ernment a certificate of necessity for expansion purposes, authorizing an expenditure of $25,000,000 by the said company for such purposes; and, WHEREAS, Said company is now engaged in said expansion program, and it is estimated that approxi- mately 60% of the total production of said company will be channeled into national defense activities; and, WHEREAS, There is at present an acute shortage of housing facili- ties in the city of Port St. Joe for workers coming into this area to meet the labor requirements of said company under its expansion pro- gram, and it is anticipated that such lack of housing facilities will become more serious with the in- flux of larger numbers of workers needed to meet future labor require- ments under the expansion pro- gram;: and, WHEREAS, It is necessary that housing facilities be made available for workers-required to be brought into this area to meet the labor needs of said company in order that serious delays in production sched- ules may be avoided, NOW, THEREFORE, Be It Re- solved by the city commission of the city of Port St. Joe, Florida: 1.

Thanks for the offer, Russell, but we've done plenty of tarpon fish- ing down around Fort Myers, and also along the ditches by the Tam- iami Trail, where we went after 'em with a fly rod. Boy, that's real sport! We could top your 45-pounder, but don't want to em- barass you Why don't you get Earl Sellers of the Washington County News to go out with you- he might appreciate a fair sized fish for a' change. Harlee Branch, editor of the Pan- ama City News-Herald, who some time back editorially expressed a desire to some time meet .the editor of The Star, had this to say: SJournalism professors would prob- ably call "rewrite" on this one, but a Northwest Florida editor has come up with a unique way of rat- ing the newspapers of this section. W. S.-Smith of the Port St. Joe Star has also worked up a test. It's simple to use, and Editor Smith says it's a sure-shot way of telling the good papers from the bad. "We discover that there are ap- parently just two types of country editors in this section of Florida," Smith disclosed. "There are those who fish and those who apparently don't fish.' "A close check reveals that the rags put out by the do-fishers are all of excellent quality," Smith goes on. He said these papers are "well edited, newsy, full of advertising, and beautiful typographically. The papers of the don't-fishers--well, we don't want to stick our neck out, so we won't say it." No new scientific theory is worth a hoot, of course, if the inventor can't give some examples to show that it works, so Editor Smith ha"s rounded up a few test cases just to show he knows what he's talking about. "Take Joe Malpas, publisher of the Wakulla County News," says Smith. "His "paper is practically filled with fish stories, almost to the exclusion of any other news. "Earl Sellers of the Washington County News at Chipley fishes at least three and a half days a week -more if possible--and does-he reel off the fish tales! "And, of course, here in Gulf county, we have C. F. Hanlon of the Gulf County Breeze at Wewahit- chka, and yours truly of The Star, both of whom would rather fish than work (and generally do) and then tell their readers about it." Smith concluded that do-fish ed- itors "have a more rollicking out- look on life, and generally, from their writings, don't give a hoot and a holler about things that worry and depress the don't-fishers." -----K------ Stuck Food When food sticks on enamel cook- ing utensils, it may be soaked loose with water or by boiling a weak soda solution in them.

Editor Williams of Bonifay turns out an excellent paper indeed, with very juicy ads. He runs a rich edi- torial page and has a scathing pen when he sees fit to use it. "Alvin Weaver of Bristol turns out one of the oldest weeklies in Florida. Another thing, Smitty -and this may be a shock to you- Alvin has probably caught more fish than all you fishers put to- gether. If you ever have trouble getting a mess, I suggest you call him and arrange for a real thrill."

It happened in Baltimore, but it could just as well have been staged in Florida. From the standpoint of pure lowdown cussedness it is on a par with gypping widows and or- phans or stealing pennies from a blind man's cup. One D. H. Mayer placed what ap- peared to be a perfectly legitimate classified advertisement in a Balti- more paper which stated that carP peters were needed for a big de- fense job in Kentucky, excellent working conditions and good pay. Applicants were instructed to apply at a certain room in a downtown hotel. As applicants arrived-and plenty came-they were told to wait and they would be interviewed shortly. When about 25 had gathered, a smiling gentleman explained that it was necessary for them to undergo a physical examination, and they were escorted into another room and told to remove their clothes. After disrobing they were taken to still another room where the physi- cal was supposed to occur. The nice young man who had es- corted them stepped out to call the doctor. They waited and waited and waited, but nothing happened. Fi- nally one of the applicants tried the door leading to the room where they had left their clothes. The clothes were still there, but when 'They examined them they found that their wallets and valuables had been removed. Mr. Mayer had de- parted and left no trace. Somewhere, some day, one of these 25 applicants is going to run into Mr. Mayer again, and I'm bet- ting that when this happens, Bro- ther Mayer will wish he was some- body else. Another racket more often en- countered by the average business man is the telephone solicitation. High pressure boys come into a community, approach some local civic group or organization and of- fer to help them raise funds for some local charity. They are smooth operators and explain that they do all the work and all they want is the endorsement of the Kiwanis, Rotary or whatever group they con- tact-it costs no money, they let the club have all the credit and it is all for sweet charity. Once they get the backing of an organization they go to work on the' phone. Just about every business- man in town receives a call.

IH Drivers' Licenses Expire October 1 Will Be Available From All County Judges September 1; New Permits Will Be Blue Drivers' licensing time is creep- ing up again, but there's no chance to get one until September 1. That is the word from Thomas King, su- pervisor of the licensing division of the Florida Department of Public Safety. King said that the 1952 licenses, which are of the usual size conveni- ent for the billfold, will be blue in- stead of the present orange. The printing remains the same. The supervisor said the licenses will be dispatched to the county judges in plenty of time for the September 1 opening sale date. But they will not be issued prior to that date. The 1951 licenses expire at mid- night October 1, after then the 1952 license is the only valid auhoriza- tion for the piloting of a vehicle. The licensing fees remain the same-$1 for regular licenses and $2 for chauffeur permits-and may be obtained in Port St. Joe from In the flower world, lilies are much in the news today, and now is the season ,for planting them in Florida. Try Easter lilies, the lazy man's flower. They are almost immune to pests and disease, withstand frost, but not freezing, and give a wealth of bloom in the season when we welcome the breath of spring. They are dormant during the hot season when there are more things to do than we have time or strength to do. They multiply rapidly and need separating only every third year. One of the earliest and best var- rieties is the Bermuda Easter lily. Buy only the best bulb from a repu- table dealer to insure disease-free stock. Set out from mid-August un- til late October. 'Set two feet apart in sun or partial shade. They look well in groups of three to five among the shrub borders.

JOE, GULF COUNTY, FLORIDA Tidelands Measure Is Vital To Florida Senator Holland Outlines Benefits of Bill Recently Passed By House U. S. Senator Spessard Holland, in a radio broadcast Saturday night from Washington, D. C., termed passage by the house of represen- tatives- of the so-called tidelands bill one of the most interesting re- cent developments in- congress. Pointing out the bill's particular importance to Florida and to all other states bordering on salt wa- ter, he said the measure will pre- serve to each state the title to the underwater areas irrounding it. In Florida's case, and, incident- ally Gulf county, such title would extend from the low water mark on its shores out three miles into the Gulf of Mexico on the west and the Atlantic Ocean on the east, the state boundaries established by the state constitution. Holland pointed out that the mea- sure is not confined to oil rights in these off-shore areas. "The same principle applies to all minerals that may be discovered, as well as to deposits of shell, sand, rare minerals reclaimed from sand, and likewise to fish, oysters, sponges, and even the title to underwater lands upon which piers have been built into the ocean or Gulf," "So far oil has buen discovered only in the off-shore areas of Texas, California and Louisiana," said the senator, "but aside from the pros- pect of discovering oil elsewhere, the other states which are so vi- tally affected, including Florida, have other property rights whose preservation is of great importance. "Particularly is this.true, in Flor- ida, where we have the longest coast line in the nation and where large areas of shallow water are in- cluded within our state, particularly between the mainland aid the long line of keys which extends from the mainland near Florida City to Log- gerhead Key, some 70 miles west of Key West. "The battle in the senate will be a long and bitter one, but at pres- ent it appears that 'this will not take place until next year, during the second session of the Eighty- second Congress. I introduced the senate bill on this subject, in which 34 other senators, including Sena- tor Smathers, are co-introducers," concluded Holland. Home From Vaeation Trip Mr. and Mrs. N. E.

The president of the organiza- tion, in explanation to the Miami mosquito control office, said that "most Southern Californians would not know a mosquito if they saw one," but the fish were kept by lo- cal health authorities "for dlistribu- tion in newly-developed areas of the country" (meaning Florida, na- turally). Fred Stutz, Dade county mosquito control chief, said if there's one thing Florida doesn't need it's gam- *busia affinis. "The Everglades is the natural home of the gambusia -the water is thick with them. In fact, Louva Lennert, who used to be state sanitary engineer for Florida, first introduced the fish to Califor- nia. They grow wild in Florida, but Californians have to cultivate 'em." He added that he was asking the state game and fish commission to look into the shipment, because "there's no telling what those Cali- THE LOW DOWN ---- from ----- WILLIS SWAMP Editor The Star: I barges in on enny subjek, and the questshun fer airin' today is- "Iffen the U.S.A. is ever to be licked who will do same?"

Smokey Says: -_ 4 i an All you have to do-is see that your match is out! fornia fish might bring in with them." Stutz also termed "ridiculous" the report that mosquitoes here are the thickest in 25 years. He said the present infestation is "nothing to compare" with that which followed the 1945 hurricane. The president of the Miami Ju- nior Chamber of Commerce tele- graphed the president of the Los Angeles Jaycees that the samples of "California game fish" would be returned. "It would be inhuman to put these specimens in the same waters with our great game fish which have made Florida fishing famous. We employ more scientific methods to quickly relieve the oc- casional influx of mosquitoes which occurs only when the smog blows from California way." The telegram said the reason for the mosquito infestation "is that "this has been the greatest sum- mer tourist season in Florida's his- tory and the'insects, not to be out- done by intelligent, fun-seeking hu- mans, find Florida a most enjoyable place to be -in summer." "These fish would not even be a good meal for our scrawniest mos- quito," the telegram concluded.

NEW AUTO TAGS WILL BE ORANGE ON BLUE Florida's 1952 automobile license tags will have orange letters on a blue background. Tests show that orange, blue, black and yellow will stand up better without fading un- der the Florida sun than any other colors. The state prison tag plant at Rai- ford already is at work on a total of 1,287,000 tags which will go on sale January 5. All cars -must be adorned with the new plates by February 20 of next year. The motto will be changed from the present controversial "Keep Florida Green" to "The Sunshine State," which the 1951 legislature adopted as a permanent slogan for license plates. ------- ------ CRITICAL DEFENSE AREA (Continued from page 1) Advertising doesn't cost, it Corner Williams Ave. and 4th St. Notice!
