LIGHTNING PLAYS PRANKS
During the several severe elec-
trical storms hitting St. Joe during
the week the car of Rev. 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,

Bob's first bulletin, titled "Things A Candidate
Should Know," follows:
1. The limit of any contribution is $1000.
2. Certain businesses and corporations are pro-
hibited from contributing.
3. Every contribution must pass through the
hands of a duly appointed campaign treasurer or
deputy treasurer.
4. A campaign depository or depositories must
be designated by the candidate and all funds ex-
pended in behalf of such candidacy must be de-
posited therein. Detailed deposit slips with evdry
deposit must show the names and addresses of
the persons contributing.

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."

'Rackets' Are For
Suckers, Says Kay
Urges Investigation of Any
and All Promotions Be-
fore Donating
By RUSSELL KAY
I've heard of a lot of crooked,
lousy rackets in my time, but "Mi-
ami Business," official publication
of the Miami Chamber of Com-
merce, records one in its last issue
that ought to be labeled "The
Racket To End All Rackets."
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. He is
informed that President So-and&o,

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.
Dig a hole 'eight or ten inches
square, drop in a big handful of fer-
tilizer, mix well with the soil and


George Tapper and in Wewahitchka
from Judge Earl Pridgeon.
As Judge Pridgeon pointed out in
last week's Star, a law enacted by
the 1951 legislature gives personnel
of the armed forces a break as to
driving permits in that if they are
on out-of-state military duty, they
need not apply for a renewal at

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. Dees returned
Sunday from a two weeks' vacation

They were accompanied home by

Always ready to jump at a chance
for publicity, especially should it
be unfaovarble to Florida, the Los
Angeles Junior Chamber of Conm
merce Monday got off an, air ship-
ment of "gambusia affinis," small
fish that feed on mosquito larvae.
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-

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.
