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 S of the Entire County r "Port St. Joe The Outlet Port for the Apalachicola-Chattahoochee Valley" VOLUME XIV FORT ST. JOE, FLORIDA, FRIDAY, AUGUST 31, 1951 NUMBER 49 I IIII No Tidal Wave Hit St. Joseph Says T.H. Stone Father of Local Man Was A Resident of Ancient City Ed Note--Occasionally we hear someone say "Wasn't Old St. Joseph destroyed by a tidal wave? That's what we have heard." The an- swer to this is definitely "No." We are re- printing the following article from the "Pro gress Edition" of The Star of April 8, 1938, for the edification of newcomers to our fair city. The legends being told that the ancient city of St. Joseph was erased from the face of the earth .by a tidal wave are not true, ac- cording to T. H. Stone, one of the pioneer settlers of Port St. Joe, whose father was, for a time a resi- dent of the old city. In 1812, according to the story passed on to Mr. Stone by his fa- ther, there sprang up on the shores of beautiful St. Joseph's Bay a little settlement called St. Joseph. Gradu- ally it increased in size until it boasted an estimated population of 10,500, being the largest city in Florida at that time. It soon became one of the largest seaports on the Gulf, and large docks and warehouses were con- structed to handle the various pro- ducts brought here from the in- terior by boat down the Apalachi- cola River to lola, from where a railroad, the Iola & St. Joseph, the first steam railroad in the then ter- ritory of Florida, brought them to St. Joseph where they were placed aboard sailing vessels and carried to points the world over. The city flourished; a large ship- yard was located on what is now the site of the Port Inn (now Hotel St. Joe); large business buildings were built, as well as palatial resi- dences and luxurious gambling es- tablishments. Then, some time after 1838, the year the state constitu- tional convention was held in St. Joseph, began the decline. Depopulated first by a depression which left nothing for the inhabit- ants to do to secure a livelihood, the rails of the railroad were torn up and moved to an out-of-state site. The yellow fever scourge then struck, and thousands died. In 1856 came a storm and the high winds blew down great numbers of trees. Going on westward it hung over the Gulf and for a time re- versed itself, blowing to the east and piling up the water in the bay, resulting in an extremely high tide which inundated most of the area. But there was no tidal wave. This story of a tidal wave, ac- (Continued on page 8) Schneiders Department Store Is Closing Doors In this issue of The Star appears a "Going Out of Business" adver- tisement by Schneider's Depart- ment Store, with practically every item marked down to cost or below. Read it and reap. Mr. Schneider is closing out his 'business due to ill health, and will make his future home in Jackson- ville. The Schneiders have 'been in St. Joe since 1937, and on leaving for the east coast city last Friday, Mr. Schneider told the editor, "I never hated so bad in all my life to leave a place as I do to leave Port St. Joe. I've made more friends here in the past 14 years than I have ever made anyplace else. I'm retiring from business due-to my ill health and that of my wife." Rev. 0. D. Langston Develops Hobby Makes Quills and Floats To Pass Time; Expects to Be In St. Joe Today Rev. O. D. Langston of Auburn, Ala., former pastor of the Port St. Joe Methodist Church, writes the editor of The Star that he has de- veloped a hobby of making floats and quills for fishing in order to pass the time. "After spending two years in bed and another on crutches and in a rolling chair, I became weary of reading," he writes. "I built five bookcases for my study while sit- ing in a rolling chair, with some help from a GI student who rents our apartment. 'hen I took up the hobby of making floats and quills. I am sending you 14 specimens of my work. The peg-top quill and the slide quill are my own invention. I have never seen either in any fish- ing tackle catalogue or anywhere else. After you try them I will ap- preciate it if you will tell me what you think of them." Rev. Langston states that ,he ex- pects to be in St. Joe this week-end, saying: "Mrs. Laugston and I ex- pect to be in St. Joe Friday after- noon to spend the week-end, prob- ably at Shirey's Motel, since it is the easiest place to get in and out with a rolling chair. On Monday we will go to Mrs. Beard's place to fish a couple of days. I have a brand new glass casting rod and an au- tomatic fly reel, and I expect to try both of them in the Dead Lakes and catch some bream add shell- crackers." Episcopal Bishop To Hold Service At Local Church The Rt. Rev. Hamilton West, D.D,. the bishop coadjutor for the Diocese of Florida, will make a spe- cial visitation to St. James' Episco- pal Church on Sunday, September 2. The purpose of this visit is to perform the sacred rite of confirma- tion, or the laying on of hands, at the 11 a. m. service. He will also be the preacher and the celebrant of the holy communion at that service and at an earlier service at 7:30 a. m. During his stay in Port St. Joe, Bishop West, in addition to holding these services, will attend a special breakfast meeting of the vestry of St. James' Church, speak to the Sunday school and conduct a simi- lar service of confirmation in We- wahitchka. The members of the confirmation class, which will be presented by Harry B. Douglas Jr., the summer missioner, are Eda Ruth Kilbourn, Bert and Michael Munn, Bobbie Porter, Bobbie Ward, Eddie Rich- mond and Mr. and Mrs. Gilbert Viz- carrando. Applications for P. M. Available Application 'blanks for the posi- tion of postmaster for Port St. Joe are now available at the local post- office. Aplications must 'be on file with the U. S. Civil Service Com- mission, Washington, D.'C., not la- ter than September 18, 1951.

SSt. Joe To Be Closed Tight For Labor Day Observance All business houses of Port St. Joe will be closed next Monday in observance of Labor Day. Bet- ter buy extra groceries for the long week-end. The St. Joe Paper Company will also close down Monday in observance of the day, and during Tuesday and Wednesday the usual overhaul jobs will be done, with the mill going back into pro- duction Thursday. Workers at the St. Joe Lumber & Export Company mill also will have the day off. Looks like a lot of bream, shell- crackers and bass will meet their doom during the long week-end. Wm. P. Boyd Named As District Forester Succeeds Edward Green; Will Aid Woodland Owners With Their Management Problems The appointment of William P.

No New Entries In Commission Race Today Last Day for Registration of Qualified Electors; Election Is To Be Held September 11 As the deadline for qualification passed at midnight Monday, August 27, no further candidates tossed their fedoras into the ring in the race for two seats on the Port St. Joe city commission. SAs it now stands, electors will have a wide selection in Group Two with Denver Miller, Ralph Swatts, T. S. Singletary and Cliff Tharpe seeking the seat to be vacated by Commissioner B, B. Conklin, who has expressed no desire to be re- turned to the board. In Group One we have but two entries, 'R. E. "Doc" King who is seeking to unseat Watson Smith, who is asking re-election. Likewise in the mayor commis- sioner race there is little variety, being Jalte Belin, present mayor, seeking re-election, and Ben C. Wil- liams, the challenger. The election is to be held Tues- day, September 11, with the polling place at the city hall. The polls will open at 8' a. m. and close at 7 p. m. Today is the last day for qualified electors whose names are not al- ready on the -books to register. The registration books are at the city hall and are open from 9 a. m. to noon and from 2 to 5 p. m.

Poitevint and daugh- ter Judy motored to Jacksonville last week-end to accompany Miss PoitevinA's sister, Miss Helen Jack- son, to Bain'bridge, Ga.

Nicholas, of Apalachi- cola, assistant state service officer, will be at the city hall on Wednes- day, Sepbember 5, from 8:30 to 11 a. m. for the purpose of helping vet- erans or their dependents in filing claims for compensation benefits or shoving their insurance problems. ---- ---- Will Leave for South Florida Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Hutchinson and the twins expect to leave Sat- urday for South Florida where they plan to make their future home. Opening Day of School Finds 933 StudentsOn Hand Increase of Possibly 250 An- ticipated Before End of Term Opening day of the Port St. Joe schools Monday found 310 students registered in the high school and 623 in the elementary school, an in- crease of 150 over opening day of last year, according to school of- ficials. J. J. Veasey, assistant principal at the high school, states that the increased enrollment has caused some overcrowding and as a result the lunchroom is being used as a study hall three periods daily. In addition, the faculty is shy two members, a librarian and a science teacher. Miss Mary E. Stanley of Miami has been secured as librarian and will report next week. Edward Eells is filling in as science instruc- tor until a regular teacher can be secured, and Mrs. T. J. Mitchell is acting as librarian. "The high school plant was built to accommodate 300 students at a maximum," said Mr. Veasey, "and while the enrollment of 310 does not seriously overcrowd us, we an- ticipate a possible enrollment of perhaps 400 before the end of the term, due to the expansion program at the paper mill, which will bring a considerable number of new fam- ilies to the community." H. E. Richards, principal of the elementary school, as yet has no overcrowding problem, with the ex- ception of the lunchroom facilities, which are proving inadequate. He states that opening day found 623 students enrolled, and informs us that the present school plant is capable of taking care of 650 .chil- dren. He, too, lacks a complete faculty, needing four, a music teacher and one each in the first, second- and sixth grades. "I have exhausted almost every possibility in an effort to fill these positions," said Mr. Richards, "and I still have feelers out, but from every indication it looks as though we will have to get by with the present faculty." Principal Richards also antici- pates an increased enrollment in the elementary grades, possibly as many as 150, before the end of the school year, which would result in serious overcrowding. ------<------ Gas Tax To Give Week-end Windfall To State Treasury Labor Day week-end travel on the state's highways is go4ig to mean a $483,000 bonanza in gasoline tax collections for the state treasury, according to official estimates. The holiday is expected to chalk up a new week-end travel record in Florida, with 796,000 cars on the roads traveling some 103,500,000 miles and using 6,900,000 gallons of gasoline. The state treasury's windfall from the week-end motoring spree will come about through the seven cent per gallon state gasoline tax. The federal government will take an ad- ditional $103,500 from Florida mo- torists 'by virtue of the 1c federal tax on gas. -----(-- -- Visitors From Alabama Mr. and Mrs. L. B.

Our Country S Right or Wrong IT'S THE PRINCIPLE OF THE THING The greater portion 'of the newspapers of the nation, including The Star, have been leaders in the fight against socialized niedicine apd gov- ernment-controlled or influenced medicine. On the part of The Star (and we can rightly assume that other papers acted solely from the same mo- tive) this was done as a matter of principle-not because of any particular personal worry as to the welfare of the doctors. Every editor worth his salt knows full well that socialized medicine would be a long step toward the totally social- ized state which your friend (he ain't ours) Tru- man seems to be constantly working toward. And he knows that it would inevitably result in a sharp decline in the standards -of medical ser- vice, especially in the all-important fields of re- search and preventive medicine (Doc Ward, Doc Hendrix and Doc Bartee will back us up on this). The experience of England has proven this. Even the proponents of the compulsory gov- ernment health.insurance scheme admit that it has no chance to get through congress now, thank goodness. But don't let that lull you into a state of apathy. It'll be brought back-again and again. And it only has to pass once to start the destruction of free medicine as we know it. Any socialistic measure must be beaten every time, without fail. The old saying, "Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty," was never more valid than at present. When the present generation, who pays the taxes, which the politicians in the District of Confusion are throwing away to'lazy people, die, we don't know who is going to pay the taxes then-they will all be "beneficiaries"-who is go- ing to' contribute the dough?- Certainly not the politicians.-Bowling Green (Mo.) Times. Senator Kerr of Oklahoma says: "I haven't any more ambition to be president or vice-president than I have to become a mother." The gentleman will probably never become either.-Fort Payne (Ala.) Times-New Era. Our forefathers objected to taxation without representation. Now, we would be glad to get taxation without misrepresentation. England (Ark.) Democrat. She first has a coming out party-after that they're staying out parties. Any man who works like a dog should have the right to growl. A true friend is a fellow who knows you real well and still likes you, anyhow. Keep smiling-and buy Defense Bonds. GARDEN NOTES PORT ST. JOE GARDEN CLUB Here are tips to help you extend the life and beauty of your cut flow- ers: Cut flowers should be kept out of drafts, since circulating air dries them faster. Always cut stems un- der water. Remember that water moves up the stem into the bloom through definite channels; these openings are very small-even air bubbles may block them. Cut flowers should be kept in lukewarm water, because they take it up more rapidly than cold water. Slightly acid water will also give longer life. You can get this simply by adding a little vinegar or com- mercial preservative. You've prob- ably noticed when you put flowers in, plain water that a slime forms after a day or so. This is due to bac- teria which clogs up the stems. The acid slows down bacterial growth. Hide the Stakes When stakes are used to support ;plants, they-should not show. A support which is lower than the plant is usually sufficient, and can be hidden in the foliage. Strawberry Plants Old strawberry plants with the tops. clipped off after the fruit has been harvested produce many more berries the following season than those left unclipped. Use of 2,4-D for control of weeds in strawberries has made it more practical to carry over old plants. S e4 Electrical Contracting and Repairing SEstimates Cheerfully : * Given * % ST.

JOE, GULF COUNTY, FLORIDA PAGE SEVEN ADDITIONAL SOCIETY (Continued from Page 2) .Wesleyan Guild and W. S. C. S. In First Joint Session Thursday evening of last week the Wesleyan Service Guild and the Woman's Society for Christian Service of the Methodist Church held their first joint meeting, being the first of what will 'be a quarterly event. 'The meeting opened with a cov- ered dish luncheon at the church. The Ouild served tea and was in charge of program arrangements. After the social hour, the meet- ing was called to order by the Guild president, Mrs. A. S. Chason, who opened with prayer and ex- pressed appreciation for such splen- did co-operation. Mrs. R. A. Swatts gave the response on .behalf of the W. S. C. S. The program was then turned over to Mrs. James J. Veasey, vice- president of the Guild, who led in the opening hymn, "Does Jesus Cik.re?" Two violin duets by Mrs. Swatts and Mrs. Ed Ramsey, ac- companied at the organ by Virginia Swatts, "Be Still My Soul" and "Sweet Hour of Prayer," called the group to worship. SMrs. B. G. Burke gave a reading, "The Busy Woman," sent to the St. Joe group by Mrs. L. W. Tubb. It was most fitting and very true to life. The theme for the evening being the 23rd Psalm, a quartet made up of Ann Kenney, Ruth Lynn Ram- sey, Etta Catherine Martin and Vir- ginia Swatts, sang "The Twenty- third Psalm," Mrs. Swatts accom- panying at the organ. Mrs. Chason gave a reading, "The Twenty-third Psalm," by candle- light, the worship center being a 'beautiful painting, "The Master's Face." On either side of the paint- ing two tall white tapers burned, being the only light in the church. while God's message was brought. The group then sang "Living for Jesus" and closed the program with the Lord's Prayer. Rev. W. L. Lindsey asked the Father's blessing on the group at the social hour and commended the good work of the church women. A real fellowship was then enjoyed and a deep spiritual atmosphere rested over the group. The Woman's Society of Chris- ian Service will be in charge of -the program the last Thursday in November when the ladies again gther. c t It r VIRGINIA HAGOOD GIRLS' AUXILIARY MEETS MONDAY The Virginia Haogod Junior Girls' Auxiliary of the Baptist Church met at the church Monday afternoon for the regular meeting with 20 mem- bers present and three visitors, Mrs. Morgan Johns, counselor's helper, Trena Campbell and Sharon Gay. The meeting was opened with the watchword and allegiance, followed by several songs. All the girls and the counselor, Mrs. E. R. DuBose, participated in the program on the work of Southern Baptists in South America. The girls were happy to have a W. M. S. book loaned to them of sketches of pictures of different phases of work carried on by the ,Baptist people, made by Mrs. E. C. Caeon, W. M. U. president. Velarie Roberts at this time passed her maiden step, receiving her arm 'band patch. The meeting was -closed with sen- tence prayers. MEARES-DORMANY Mir. and Mrs. G. K.

Middlebrooks The Methodist Men's Club met Tuesday evening with 57 present and enjoyed a delicious supper served by Circle Two of the Wo- man's Society for Christian Service. Dr. A. E. Middlebrooks of Mari- anna, superintendent of the Mari- anna district, was the speaker of the evening, taking as his subject "Finding Joy In Your Work." His message was very inspiring, and everyone profited'by it. The speaker stressed the need of joy and enthu- siasm and zeal in our work. A business session followed, at which time discussion was held on continuation of work on the new church 'building. The interest shown by all present was very encourag- ing.

Many of the old buildings were torn down for the salvage they pro- duced, while some were moved to Apalachicola where a number are still standing today. No buildings were demolished by a "tidal wave" as some stories relate.

G. Por- ter, manager for the Florida Power Corporation in St. Joe, warns, point- ing out that the greatest danger lies in fallen wires. "We build our lines and equip- ment strong enough to withstand winds of great force, 'but in spite of all we can do, trees fall, lightning strikes and services go out during hurricanes," said Rich. "We'll do everything possible to get your service back on as soon as it is safe to do so. Two-way radio between our St. Joe office and cars and trucks helps us to get your power on faster." Porter urged that the following rules be observed during hurri- canes: If your power should go off, no- tify the local office immediately, but call only once so as not to tie up the telephone. Beware of lines that have fallen to the ground. Notify the power company immediately, stay away from the lines, don't try to move the wires with sticks or brooms, and don't go near wire fences on which lines may have fallen. If you have a home freezer and the electricity should go off, don't open the doors. The freezer will protect the food for 36 to 54 hours if the doors are kept closed, and up to 72 hours if the freezer is full. Dry ice placed in the freezer on boards, not directly on the pack- ages of food, may be used to pro- tect food if the power is off longer than 36 hours. Usually service is re- stored in a matter of a few hours. If your lights grow dim but con- tinue to burn, notify the local of- fice, and open the main switch into the house to cut off the electricity, y nursuay t uu p. ,. in masonic hall. Mary B.
