S'"City delivery will be inaugurated
in St. Joe, Oak Grove and the Ken-
ney mill section at the very earliest
'possible date," said Costin. "Date of

travel the year around. Service will
not ,be held up until all streets are
put in condition, but service may
not be extended to streets that are
not accessible to bicycle travel un-
til such streets are improved.
"In addition, street signs must be

Kids Warned By Griffin To
Go Easy With Peashooters

Chief -of Police Buck Griffin has
received complaints from irate res-
idents that a considerable number
of kids about town have been doing
target practice on pedestrians and
'motorists with pea-sooters, using
'china berries and other like berries
for ammunition.
"Thi- will have to stop," quoth
the chief, "otherwise I will be com-
pelled to pick up offenders and
hale them before their parents for
proper parental .chastisement."
..S, kids, take a second think as
ou are tempted when some unsus-
pecting citizen bends over to tie
bi1 shoe. If-may mean trouble.

- Two Local Boys Enroll In G. M. A.
Donald Ramsey, son of Mr. and
Mrs. Ed Ramsey,"has 'enrolled in
Geoigia .Military Acadlemy. at Col-
lege Pairk, Ga., as a junior in high
school. Jimmy Philyaw has also
enrolled at q. M. A. as a senior.


EDITORIAL
The editor of The Star, as you may have noted, is opposed to
straight salaries for members of the Gulf county school board, be-
ing of the opinion that with salaries attached to the job it would
bring out candidates who would be primarily interested in what
they could get out of the job rather than what they could put into
it for the benefit of our school system. We are highly satisfied with
our present board members, feeling that they are filling their po-
sitions from a sense of duty to the community.
Certain interested parties here in St. Joe who rather consider
themselves "king-make.rs" and have a few fingers in every election,
whether it be city commissioner, school board, county commis-
sioner, representative or what not, have tried talking to us in an
effort to change our stand, not only on the school board salary
measure, but on the publication of the school board minutes. But
they had no manner of putting the so-called "pressure" on us as
we understand they have done in other instances. They can't with-
hold their advertising from the columns of The Star nor can they
cut off their job printing since none of them advertise and all of
their job printing goes out of town. And even if they did try some-
thing like that, we'd have told them where they could go, as we're
as independent as a hog on ice.
Pointing out, in regard to.publication of the school board pro-
ceedings and vouchers paid, that it would embarrass our school
teachers by having everyone know what pittances they received,
we informed them that everyone knew our teachers were under-
paid and that they certainly are entitled to more money and that
we had in the past and would in the future do all in our power
to help them get a raise. We also suggested that rather than pay
school board members $50 a month that this money be appropri-
ated for teachers' salaries and distributed pro rata among our
county teachers. Wouldn't be much, but it would buy a little sow
belly and beans.
Funny thing about the whole situation, we haven't heard a peep
siderable number of parents, particularly the women, have com-
out of any of the present members of the board, although a con-
mended us on our stand against salaries.
Let's keep the school board pay system the way it is at present
by voting against the pay raise. And let's have publication of the
school board proceedings in order that we may know what is go-
ing on in circles of learning and where our money goes that the
school board handles.
Below is the ballot you will be asked to cast in tomorrow's elec-
tion. We urge you to mark it as you see it here:

Parent-Teacher Association Hears Interesting Talk
By Retired School Principal At First Meeting of Year


Port St. Jo.e, Florida
September 20, 1951
Dearest Clyde-It is very late, but
I must tell you about our Parent-
Teacher Association meeting held
this evening. It was the opening
meeting of the year-held in the
elementary school, and I was simply
thrilled at the interest shown. No
actual attendance count was made,
but I feel sure there were well over
200 present, and the nicest thing
about it was the *fact that they all
really seemed to enjoy every min-
ute-even the business session.
Our new president, Mrs. Rush
Chism (and are we lucky to have
her!) gave a nice welcome address,
,and Maxine Swain, our music chair-
man, pepped up the audience with
a motion song, "The More We Get
Together." This was followed by
the devotional, given by Rev. War-
ren Lindsey, which gave inspira-
tional tone to the evening.
We certainly have a nice lineup
of workers this year. They were an-
nounced as follows: Music and art
chairman, Mrs. Jack Swain; pro-
gram, Mrs. Ralph'Nance; publica-
tions, Mrs. W. E. Whaley; study
group, Mrs. Ed Ramsey; hospital-
ity, Mrs. Jonnie Sykes; spiritual
life, Rev. Warren Lindsey; member-
ship, Mrs. S. B. Shuford; library
service, Mrs. Jaon Robert Smith;
room representative, Mrs. John G.
Blount; health, Mrs. A. L. Ward;
first aid, Mrs. E. C. Musselwhite;
finance, Frank Hannon; exceptional
children, Miss Fanny Brown; visual
aid; Miss Katherine Nix; legisla-
tion, Cecil Costin Jr., (he gave an
explanation of the two locya bil*. to
be;voted on'Saturday); teacher rep-
resentatives, Messrs. Scisson, Rich-
ards and Veasey, Mrs. Edith Stone
and Miss Margaret Smith. Mrs.
Doris Whealton has been appointed
corresponding secretary.
As is usual in a first meeting, the
faculty members were introduced.
And was this a surprise! On being
introduced they were asked to come
to the front. They did so-reluct-
antly. But their reluctance was
changed to smiles of appreciation
when each of them, to the tune of
"How D'y Do, Dear Teachers," was
presented with a nice gift from the
president dainty organdy aprons
for the ladies and handkerchiefs, I
believe, for the gents! The teachers
were most appreciative, and I heard
one of them tell Mrs. Chism that
she should have been president for
"lo, these many years."
In the business session we voted
to sponsor the school carnival again
this year; to take up "Education for
'CivilDeferise'"as a project; to con-

school, and to sponsor open house
at the high school in November, in
celebration of National Book Week,
and at the elementary school in De-
cember, when a school art exhibit
will be held.
Our guest speaker for the eve-

ning was Mrs. Wm. R. Brearly, a
retired school principal of the New
Jersey schools, who is now living
on the beach at Indian Pass. Her
topic was "Know Your P.-T. A."
(she holds a P.-T. A. life member-
ship), and she began with the state-
ment that it was lack of under-
standing between the home and the
school which led to its organization.
In discussing its objects and poli-
cies, Mrs. Brearley suggested that
"committees be diversified not
clannish"; that teachers must not
be called upon for too much P.-T. A.
work; that P.-T. A. be non-partisan,
but get behind voters and urge
them to study legislation that they
might vote intelligently; that the
P.-T. A. keep out commercialism;
that P.-T. A. be non-sectarian, "but
don't leave God out," she said. "In
this chaotic world only faith, work
and prayer will bring us out of con-
fusion."
The speaker also suggested that
teachers know the home background
of their pupils, and that parents
discipline children at home before
sending them to school. "The Golden
Rule," she added', "applies both at

Our Country '" Right or Wrong

PACK OF LIES?
Your friend (he ain't ours) President Truman
has strongly defended his proposed federal bud-
get, contending that no major cuts can be made
in any part of it without endangering the welfare
of the nation (the welfare of the nation, appar-
ently in this case, being those hundreds of thou-
sands of political hangerson on the government
payroll). In a recent speech he took his most
aggressive position yet, when he stated in his
usual cocky manner, that charges of waste and
extravagance in the federal establishment amount
to a "pack of lies."
Your friend (he ain't ours) Harry has every
right to his views, even as you and I. But if he
is correct in this instance, the country certainly
is full of "packs of liars," including the editor of
The Star, and they abound in the Democratic as
well as the Republican party. Senator Byrd, for
instance, holds and substantiates his position with
masses of facts and figures- that the budget
could be reduced by something like $8,000,000,-
000 without harming any essential government
activity. Senator Douglas has waged a gallant
but losing battle again p:-barrel spending


which cannot be defended except on vote-seek-
ing political grounds. The Hoover commission,
which was entirely non-partisan, showed pre-
cisely where billions are being wasted in the ad-
ministration of the government. Only a few of
the Hoover commission recommendations lave
been adopted, and those that have been are of a
relatively minor character.
Truman's stand is logical only if we assume
that centralized government must do everything
for everybody, from putting their diapers on
them when they're brats to wiping their nose in
their old age when they're too feeble to lift a
handkerchief. In essence, this assumption says
that the people are incapable of taking care of
themselves, and that, consequently, they must be
wards of the state. That is a philosophy of defeat
and despair, and no nation could accept it and
retain its strength and freedom.
Unbridled government spending is a cancer
that can destroy the richest nation, and your
friend (he ain't ours) Truman is apparently the
irritating agent that is developing the cancer.


FACE IN THE DIRECTION YOU WALK
(Reprinted from TIME)
There were too many pratfalls in the Penta-
gon's terrazzo and waxed corridors. The com-
plaints were duly referred through channels to
the General Services Administration, Department
of Buildings Management. Naturally, the situa-
tion called for a survey. That called for special
equipment. So the matter was referred to the
National Bureau of Standards, Division of Re-
search and Development. There a machine was
built, and labeled "Sigler Pendulum Impact Type
Slipperiness Tester."
This device, designed to "determine the coeffi-
cient of friction which is an index of relative
slipperiness," was delivered to the General Ser-
vices Administration, Department of Buildings
Management survey team. The team surveyed.
After weeks came a report. Freely translated
from the Pentagonese, it said: "The floors aren't

We were under the impression
that a WAC Corporal was one of
those tall, slim rockets they fire
off the Florida east coast, and so
we were rudely awakened Monday
when a WAC Corporal walked into
The Star office in the person of
Cpl. Mildred E. Levins, WAC and
WAF recruiter from the Panama
City recruiting office. .. She
filled the bill as far as being tall
and slim, but there the resemblance
stopped. Besides she had a
different sort of paint job.

fellers Friday night in Dean Smith
of Johnson City, Tenn., and Jimmy

mill addition. They were what
could be called exact opposites ....
"Slim" live-d up to his name, while
Dean reminded us of Man Mountain
Dean, except he didn't have the
whiskers. He was bulging with
muscles. You folks will like
'em, so when you see them on the
streets-or, for that matter, any of
the men imported on the mill ex-
pansion program say to 'em in

envelope in which his wife sent us
a billet doux: "Please put a note in
the paper that Annette oughter be
able to read the subscription rate
on the editorial page of The 'Star."
S. To which we reply that it.is
none of his business what his wife
said in the letter-and she wasn't
paying her subscriptionn. What she
wrote is strictly between her and

PREVENT BARK BEETLES'
To prevent attacks by bark beetles"-,
on live trees, it is advisable to cut
down and remove pines that are
killed by lightning or other causes
as soon as possible after they are
discovered. If the trees that are
killed cannot be removed and'util-
ized a soon as they are cut down,
it is well to peel off the bark. Top
branches also should be chopped
into small pieces and spread in the

Caldwell Not To Be
In Race for Governor

Millard F. Caldwell, national ad-
ministrator civil defense, has taken
himself out of thie 1952" cntest for
the governorship of Florida. He said
he regarded the privilege of serving
as governor from 1945 to 1949 as "a
high and appreciated honor, but one
such experience is enough."
Caldwell said he wasn't going to
take any part in the coming cam-
paign but' mentioned the names of
threemnien who might get his per-
sonal'vote, should they run-Comp-
trollei C. M. Gay, Supreme Court
Jusr_,i'e Alt.) Adams and State Sen-
ator Henry Baynard of St. Peters-
burg.
The ex-governor left little doubt
that any of those three would be
.his preference over Dan McCarty of
Fort Pierce whom he supported in
1948 against Fuller Warren.

Gubernatorial Candidate
Would Legalize Gambling

Dale E. Spencer of Kissimmee,
Democratic candidate for governor
running on a "kill the sales tax"
platform, said he would advocate le-
galizing certain forms of gambling,
if elected, to replace the sales levy.
Spencer, son of a minister, said it
was "absolutely preposterous" to
tax a housewife for scores .of neces-
sities while thousands of dollar
are exchanged by gamblers' hands
daily without the slightest bit of
revenue reaching the coffers of the
state treasury. He said Florida
could reap tremendous benefits if
it established controlled gambling.
He has not said what forms of
gambling he would advocate legal-
izing.

Study On Use
of Scrub Oak
Land Planned

May Result In Discovery of
Economic Use for Trees
On 3,000,000 Acres
A search to discover a profitable
economic use for the 3,000,000 acres
of sandy scrub, oak land scattered
thruout Florida has been launched
by the Florida Forest Service, ac-
cording to State Forester C. H.
Coulter of Tallahassee, who said
that Governor Warren and members
of the state cabinet have agreed to
release $20,000 of state funds to
match a $20,000 federal grant to set
up a research station somewhere in
Northwest Florida.
The 1951 legislature authorized
the appropriation, to match federal
funds in creating the forestry re-
search station near the area of Cal-
houn, and Washington counties.
Coulter said that the federal cash
was assured and,-that the project
was expected to get underway nexAt
month.
The lands concerned'in the study
are of the sandy soil type found in
vast.areas throughout Florida. Or-


place.
The University of Florida is con-
ducting studies to 'find a use for the
scrub oak, but it has yet to interest
concerns in the oak as a profitable
raw material. The research station
will be devoted to finding a profit-
able use for the estimated 3,000,000
acres covered by the oak.
About 1,000,000 acres of this land
is found in the West Florida area,
which includes the counties of Gulf,
Waslington, Calhoun, Holmes, Wal-
ton, Jackson, Santa Rosa, Okaloosa
and Es'cambia.
State Forester Coulter said the
proposed station's research would
benefit the entire southeast, since
the "dry, thirsty soil with the deep
water table" is found throughout
the south. The question, he said,
involves finding the "ways and
means to regenerate the area, whe-
ther naturally or artificially."
The station personnel, he stated.
would first checks the soil. Then,
looking over the area, they would
find a typical.forest.and pick a site
representing all types of the scrub,
oak, growth. This area they would
attempt to secure either by long-
term lease or other means, and the
research would begin.
The project will require the ser-
vices of three .full-time men, plus
the assistance, of specialists on
planting, soil .management and
cattle 'grazing.

Three Scoring Opportuni-
ties By Fumbling

A large crowd turned out Friday
night at Centennial Field to see the
St. Joe Sharks go down to defeat
at the hands of the Quincy Tigers
'by a 12-09.count.
The Sharks, rated as the under-
dog, put.up a grand battle and the
tale might have been different if
they hadn't muffed three scoring
opportunities by fumbling at crti-
cal moments. The visitors made
their two touchdowns in the first
and third periods.
Bobby Gibson, Shark quarterback,
made two long passes to Lincoln
Hall, left half, but failed to get into
scoring position. Tim Elder, Marion
Parker and Ed Creamer showed up
well in the line and Billy Gailliard
turned in a good performance at
end.
Other Northwest Florida results
were as follows:
Cross City, 26; Apalachicola, 0.
Marianna, 36; Florida Industrial
School, 6.

GARDEN NOTES
PORT ST. JOE GARDEN CLUB

September is the time to plant
one of the most valuable and easi-
est grown perennials .the.here-
mocallis. .Also;.called the daylily,
iot iffrs. theb gardener -continuous
blooms from May through August.
The blossoms individually last only
for one day, but another will open
to take its place the following day.
This perennial will grow in the
sun or in partial shade and can be
grown in most all parts of the U. S.
The soil requirements are such that
with an application of complete
plant food they will thrive in most
all soils. Daylilies have no serious
insect or disease .problems. Surely
the home gardeners will welcome
this beautiful, easy-to-grow plant in
their gardens.
The fleshy roots of the lilies
search deep for their food. Two
feet is none too deep to prepare the
soil for them. It should be rather
.amp and well supplied with plant
fog. When the planting holes or


c nt food per 25 square feet, or 1
rounded tablespoonful under each
s'Blant. One stem should-be a part of
each root division planted. Plant at
exactly the same depth they were
growing.

than last year.

look it over before it comes up for
final approval.

ous funds are as follows: Police de-
partment, $11,400; scavenger de-
partment, $10,820; executive de-
partment, 2,120; fire department,

ance, $24,256; park maintenance,

POSTMASTER GIVES

(Continued from page 1)
Dickens at the city hall."
One of the big requirements for
city mail delivery is that patrons
must install mail receptacles or a
door slot not less than 30 inches
from floor level. Business houses
should have receptacles or slot for
service when they are not open for
business.
"In order for the city delivery ser-
vice to operate efficiently," con-
tinued the postmaster, "it is neces-
sary that mail received for delivery
bear the. house number and street
address of the patron. Therefore,
patrons should immediately informi
all of their correspondents of their
house number and street address
and ask that these be used'in ad-
dressing mail to them."
Proposed location of collection
boxes is as follows::
Small letter collection boxes on
Long Avenue in front of new high
school; in front of Hotel St. Joe;
corner Tenth Street and Long Ave-
nue; corner Avenue C and Maih
Street in the colored quarters.
Large collection boxes in front of
postoffice; corner Niles Road and
Long Avenue in Oak Grove; corner
600 Street and 800 Street in Ken-
ney's Mill.
City delivery service is a big step
forward in the progress of Port St.
Joe, and the co-operation of every
resident and business man is urged
to make it successful.
When's it coming? Can't say for
sure, but if yqu see Postmaster Cos-
tin, Ferrell Allen, Wilbur Smith or
John Simpson breaking in new bi-
cycles you'll know it is just around
the corner, since Chauncey informs
us that the bikes are on order.
