FREEDOM and Hllp Truth Fgt Communism is Truman Worth Three Millions? Figures Show That Upkeep of President Runs Into Staggering Sum By RUSSELL KAY Every political campaign brings forth the chest-thumping, finger- pointing aspirant for this or that office who climbs up on a stump and froths at the mouth about the salaries received by big corpora- tion executives. He sheds crocodile tears for the poor downtrodden working man and pictures him in a tumble-down shack or battered car as compared to the industrial tycoon who has a swank home in Palmn Beach and a chauffeur for his Cadillac. These indignant political shysters always "take in" a lot of poor dumb clucks who hoot and holler ap- proval. The demagogue never says a word about the amount of money the government takes back in the form of taxes on these so-called ex- cessive salaries, nor does he point out how many people are given em- ployment 'because of the executive ability, push and energy of these industrial leaders. Compared to our highest paid in- dustrial or business executive, a top-flight politician has got it all over them when it comes to riding the old gravy train. The Washington Times-Herald re- cently came up with some figures on what it costs to maintain the top man in government. If the poli- ticians want something to scream about next election, they might lay off the industrial tycoon and really go out after big game with their trusty harpoon. If you wonder why Harry wants to hang on to his job and doesn't find the task of being president too irk- some, you might mull over these figures awhie and maybe you'll come up with the answer. Here is how the Times-Herald breaks down the three and a half million dollar plus what is costs the poor downtrodden working man to maintain a president for a year: Truman's salary --............$ 100,000 Truman's tax-free expense allowance Truman's travel allowance White House office ex- pense (285 employes plus their expenses) ... 1,8 Executive mansion and (Continued on page 9) 50,000 40,000 83,615 ~-PI~ ~I~BIWIPI First PTA Meeting of Year Next Thursday Teacher of Twenty-five Years Ex- perience To Be Principal Speaker By MRS. RALPH SWATTS The Port St. Joe Parent-Teacher Association will hold the first meet- ing of the school year in the ele- mentary school auditorium Thurs- day, Sept. 20 at 8 o'clock. Mrs. Rush Chism, P.-T. A. presi- dent, has announced that an excel- lent program has 'been planned for this occasion, and she is looking forward to a record attendance. The devotional is to be given by Rev. Warren Lindsey of the Methodist Church, and music will be pro- vided under the direction of Mrs. Maxine Swain, music chairman. An added attraction will be the pre- sentation of the teachers in a novel manner. As guest speaker for this meet- ing, the program committee, headed by Mrs. Ralph Nance, has secured the services of Mrs. William R. Brearly, whose talk on "Know Your P.-T. A." will be an interesting highlight of the evening. The fact that Mrs. Brearly can boast of 20 years teaching experience as a prin- cipal in Princeton, N. J., and that she holds a P.-T. A. life member- ship presented her in 1945 in ap- preciation of her services, is assur- ance that she is well qualified to speak on the chosen subject from the point of view of both teacher and parent; A social hour will follow the meeting, at which* time: refresh- ments will be served by Mrs. John- nie Sykes and her hospitality com- mittee. For the benefit of those parents who can not leave small children at home, a nursery will be provided at the school. -4----- Local Nimrods Predicting Fair Hunting This Season Our perennial hunters in this sec- tion are predicting a fair to good hunting season this year from all indications. They say that stocks of quail and turkey look good, but that the squir- rel population seems on the decline. We imagine they gather all this in- formation while spending their time fishing and waiting impatiently for the hunting season to open. Just to refresh the memory of our local nimrods, we want to remind them that a "stamp" system will be uesd this year in taking turkey and deer. Each hunting license will be equipped with five stamps, and each f time the huntsman gets a turkey or deer he will be expected to tear one of the stamps off the license. And by the way, turkey hens will be protected this year, so watch your step. Motor To Thomasville Mrs. Clyde Gentry and son Al- bert motored to Thomasville, Ga., last Friday. They were accompanied by the Misses Doris and Trixie Griffin, cousins of Mrs. Gentry, who had visited here for a week. Accompany Son To College Mr. and Mrs. Cliff Chatham re- turned home last week-end from Clemson, S. C., where they accom- panied their son, Phillip, who en- tered Clemson College. They also visited in Norfolk, Va., with their son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. M. W. Purdue.

Belin, Tharpe and Smith Named As Commissioners Doc King and Watson Smith In Close Race; 661 Cast Ballots As was anticipated, a larger-than- ordinary number of electors turned out Tuesday to express their pref- erence as to whom should be named to the city commission, 661 of the 1,543 registered voters trekking to the city hall. The total number of ballots cast does not give a true picture, since of the 1,543 names on the registra- tion books, it is estimated that ap- proximately 200 are no longer in the city, having moved away or died. Mayor Jake Belin led in the num- ber of votes garnered, being re- turned as mayor-commissioner by a vote of 494 to 160 over his oppon- ent, Ben C. Williams. Watson Smith, seeking re-election to the commission in Group Two, had a narrow squeak, being re- turned to office by the close mar- gin of 34 votes. Smith polled 340 to Dr. Robert E. King's 306. The handicap event in Group One, in which four were entered, re- sulted in the 'election of Clifford "Windy" Tharpe, who polled 219 votes against Denver Miller's 105, T. S. Singletary's 160, and Ralph Swatts' 1,62. The city hall was really a popular place Tuesday night after the polls closed, with standing room at a pre- mium and cars parked solid for a block around the 'building. ------ ----- Tapper Says Port St. Joe May Annex Panama City Speaking before the Panama City Rotary Club last Friday, Represen- tative George Tapper told his lis- teners that Port St. Joe is growing rapidly, adding facitiously that St. Joe would probably annex Panama City in the near future if interven- ing Tyndall Field didn't pose a prob- lem. Tapper told of the expansion plan of the St. Joe Paper Company to triple its production, with the con- sequent employment of many more workers, and that the city probably would have a population of 10,000 in another 10 years. He also pointed out that the St. Joe Lumber & Export Company, which employs about 600, is also a big factor in the growth of the city, as is the Southeastern Pipeline Cor- poration terminus which results in more tonnage passing through our port than any other in the state ex- cept Miami and Port Everglades. He said that about 42,000 barrels of oil move through our port daily. ------_____ Service Officer Here Today Bill Linton, Gulf county service officer, states that he will be in St. Toe today from 5 to 7 p. m. at the Legion hall, instead of Saturday. Any veteran or dependents of vet- erans may see him then. ____-((_____- Visit In Sumatra Mr. and Mrs. C. W.

PORT ST.

Any motorist passing through one of these places was supposedly risk- ing an, arrest and fine if he didn't slow down to a creep. John Winslett, editor of the Jack- son County Floridian at Marianna, spoke.his mind recently about these "speed traps." His recital was in- spired by reports that Alford, in Jackson county, has become the newest city to arrest innocent mo- torists. "It is a known fact," Winslett wrote. "that many motorists have been stopped for passing through small towns and villages at 35 to 40 miles per hour, when the streets were practically deserted. The In- sistence on a 25-mile speed limit, and its strict enforcement, will give any small town the reputation of operating a speed trap, which it obviously is. And the existence of such conditions hurts not only the town permitting it, but the entire county and area." On the other side of the picture, Winslett reminded his readers that there is many a driver "who, ignor- ing a town simply because it is small, rushes through its main street at high speed, confident that nothing can catch or stop him. The natural resentment of the townspeo- ple is also easily understandable." Winslett goes on: "The town of Altha, in Calhoun county, was for years known and often avoided as a 'speed trap," but the nearness of the school to the highway made ex- tra caution necessary. You can't endanger the lives of children and. get away with it long anywhere. "A few years ago, a sign was erected (reportedly by members of the state road department) outside the town of Cottondale, which read, 'Warning-Speed Trap Ahead.'"The sigh was subsequently changed to read-'Traffic Light Ahead,' :but Cot- tondale got much unfavorable no- toriety which it may not have de- served. "Since passage of the bill appor- tioning the state cigaret tax to in- corporated towns and cities, many communities (Alford is one) have resurrected long-dormant charters and gone back into business as mu- nicipalities. Others, never chartered before, have sought and obtained charters, and are paying a good portion of their operating expense from the tobacco bonanza. With the added revenue from fast drivers, many of these may be able to con- tinue municipal operations foi an indefinite period. "Somewhere 'between the two ex- tremes of viewpoint lies a fair and reasonable attitude Itsis to.-:thini- terest of both th- small community and the traveling public to see that everyone's rights are respected. Whether it's Alford, Marianna, Al- tha, Cottondale or some other com- munity, there can be no permanent 'benefit from.the process of extract- ing 'toll' from travelers on a basis of legal technicality."-Washington County News. ---------- William Penn fostered freedom of the press in Philadelphia.

Our Country Right or Wrong WE RECKON THE DIPLOMATS SEE IT Everyone else seems to see it, and so we reckon our diplomats (and we use the word loosely in reference to some of them) see it also. And that is the way Russia is doing everything in her power to keep the world in a turmoil and block moves for peace at every angle. If they don't see, then they have their heads, buried in the sand. While Gromyko, at the San Francisco meeting, charged the United States with aggressive poli- cies and the Communists in Korea drum up fic- titious charges of truce violations at Kaesong, Rus- sian tanks are rushed into the Korean front and troops from Russia's satellite countries are being brought in to do battle in what apparently will be a new Communist offensive when Russia be- lieves the "truce" negotiations have been held for the length of time necessary to build up what she believes to be an unbeatable force on the Korean peninsula As we said, it's plain to everybody else what is going on, so let's hope it is also plain to our diplomats.

TEN YEARS AGO From the Files of The Star Pipeline Soon To Be Completed With legal 'barriers swept away by a decision of the Georgia su- preme court, the Southeastern Pipe- line Corporation will ask the Geor- gia highway board for permission to run their Port St. Joe-Chatta- nooga, Tenn., pipeline under roads in that state. The unanimous court decision dissolved an injunction re- straining the company from placing their tubing under highways and cleared away the last legal obstacle to completion of the line.

Working in committees, official delegates from 32 Florida counties made recommendations covering 15 phases of home demonstration work. County home demonstration agents and state specialists consulted with the committees. "The existing situations in each field were thoughtfully studied by these women, who formulated their recommendations in the light of their analyses," Miss Anna Mae SSikes, state home demonstration agent, said. "They considered the opportunities, problems, needs and resources in the studies." Recommendations were made in the fields of citizenship and civil defense, child care and family life, .food and nutrition, food production, food conservation, marketing and home industries, 4-H Club work, health education, safety and fire prevention, clothing and. textiles, community life and recreation, mu- sic and community activities, yard and community beautification, in- terior home improvement, and pub- licity Throughout all of the plans, the;, importance of co-operation with other groups and the necessity for assuming leadership in both the home and the community were stressed. In line with the civil defense pro- gram, committees approved spon- soring courses in home nursing, first aid, farm and home safety, health education, and similar prob- lems. Recognizing that in times of emergency a good home food sup- ply is of even more importance than during normal times, the state coun- cil urges increased production and conservation of food at home.' It also suggests more study and inter- est in providing, z:void r t, iitipus meals at the ...,w" :r ,....,: :ri.-" cost, avoiding hoarding and black mar- ket buying. "This group teaches that the home the center of a homemaker's life -not the circumstance," said Miss Sikes. "The plan proposed by the state committee encourages build- ing a better world through both fam- ily and community co-operation."

A little more than a quarter of a century ago,' for instance, 35 days and 28 or more hand operations were required to finish aI high grade automobile. Be- cause of the new improved finishes available today, both the time and plant area required for finishing have been reduced to a mere frac- tion of that needed 35 years ago.

In June of this year there were 69,323 aged persons receiving as- sistannce; 70,958 needy dependent children, and 3,322 needy blind. In addition to providing assist- ance to the needy aged, blind and dependent children, the welfare de- partment received 1,250 petitions for adoption for study and recom- mendation; 1,998 requests for ser- vices to children; 372 requests from unmarried mothers for social ser- vices; 8,876 requests from other agencies and institutions for ser- vices, and distributed surplus com- modities with a wholesale value of $1,382,213.87 to schools, state and charitable institutions. The foods came to Florida without any direct cost to the state. Because of insufficient funds, the report says, there will be limita- tions on services and assistance 'during the current two-year fiscal period. Less money is available for aid to dependent children; about the same for the needy aged, and about the same for the needy blind. Child welfare service will have to be curtailed. - Shower Cap Ever notice a dank, sour odor to your shower cap? The sure cure should be right on your bathroom shelf.

Send The Stai to a friend, Communities Cannot Expect Outside Aid In Event of Modern War Civil Defense Head Points Out That Nearby Cities Would Have More Calls Than They Could Handle "America's industrial plants, hos- pitals, schools and other institu- tions are a vital part of the nation's resources, and these establishments are especially vulnerable to the haz- ards of modern war because they are geared to peacetime activities and are, in the main, unprotected, it is pointed out in a manual titled 'Civil Defense In Industry and In- stitutions,' just released by the Fed- eral Civil Defense Administration," Col. R. G. Howie, Florida state di- rector of civil defense, announces. In the event of enemy attack, de- pendence could not be placed on outside aid because civil defense and community protective services would probably have more calls than they could handle, the booklet points out in a sharp warning to those who fall under this category. "To wage war successfully rests squarely on the shoulders of our industrial plants and their skilled workers, our agriculture potential, and the ultimate productive ca- pacity, and morale of these work- ers depends to a great extent on their safety and the safety of their families,", Col. Howie declared. "In order to maintain steady production and to provide safeguards for life and property; industrial plants and institutions must organize for self- protection. The best way to cope with disaster is to be thoroughly prepared to meet it, and any steps you take now to protect your estab- lishments will minimize the effects of a major catastrophe in peace and war." "Self-protection," as defined by this manual, is the concept of or- ganizing and training small groups within an industrial or other or- ganization to perform specialized services, such as policing or fire- fighting, to safeguard the plant and its occupants in time of disaster. The civil defense self-protection program is not expected to replace normal protection. It is designed to help any industry or institution ex- pand its services to meet large- scale disaster more effectively. The manual further advises that personnel whose natural talents and past experience fit them for spe- cific tasks and whose normal duties can be safely interrupted should be selected as key members of a self- protection unit. ---------- To Clean Milk Glass A glass of milk at bedtime is a fine nightcap habit.

Other increases would boost the rates on newspapers 30% over a three-year period and on magazines 60% over a like period. Charges for third and fourth class mail, and such special services as special delivery letters, also would be hiked by the legislation. The measure, intended to wipe out part of the postoffice depart- ment's huge annual deficit, naturally will come out of the pocket'of Mr. Average Citizen. Our solons up in Washington should take into con-- sideration the fact that a large por- tion of this deficit comes from so- called "franked" mail sent out post- age-free by themselves, thousands of tons of it a year, if the crap that comes into The Star office is any criterion.

That vital statistic may happen in Gulf county, or perhaps right here in Port St. Joe. Who knows?

BECK Botanist, Florida Park Service "Stop calling me a tree," the cab- bage palm might say if it could speak. "I'll have you know there's a difference. I'in almost a fifth cousin to a corn stalk." Everywhere the traveler goes in Florida, cabbage palms nod and seem to ask: "Don't you wish you knew miore about me?" The palms have butone growing spot-the !bud on the very top of the stem. This bud will bend to- ward the light-and. the trunk will keep that bend for the life of the tree. During storms or heavy rains, the wind or high waters knock cabbage palms nearly over. But it does not kill them. They merely turn their heads toward the sun and continue to grow, with just another bend added. Cabbage palms can be seen along the river at Hillsborough State Park, near Zephyhills, growing out from the bank, trunks horizontal over the water, heads turned up- ward. In high waters, nothing but the head shows and it bobs up and down in the river as if to greet: "Howdy, folks!" The cabbage palm has no tell-tale rings to give its age away, for its woody and growing tissues are not arranged in layers but in strings or fibers. As the palm grows older, it grows taller, but its trunk rarely grows wider. At last it becomes old and top- heavy and begins to bend under the wear and tear of many years in the open, often making a perfect semi- circle, as can be observed at High- lands Hammock State Park, near Sebring. Then it breaks somewhere -usually at the weakest spot in the arc-and its beautiful palm-fronded head falls to the ground. _____^_____ No-Unemployed Pay Passed Out Well, it looks like those two un- employed guys in Gulf county who have been drawing $60 to $80 down between them during the past two or' three weeks have finally got jobs, for during the week ,ending August 31 no unemployment com- pensation checks were issued in Gulf county, according to the state industrial commission. .Send The Star to a frlena. .Send The Star to a. friend.
