As recommended by the postof- fice department there will be three carriers, two on bicycles and one to travel by truck for parcel post deliveries and pickups. There will b'e two carriers who *ill leave the office at 10 a, m. daily on foot and cover the business district and part of the resideunal district. In the aft!rnoorn they will make deliveries on Ibiciycles. starting about 12:30, onei covering South St. Joe and Oak rroVe and the other covering the colored quarters and the Kenney Mill section.

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 actual service will depend upon re- ceipt of supplies and equipment from the department; availability and.certification of carriers; lease of a truck for the transportation of parcel, post; streets in the area put in condition for truck and bicycle 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 ,.erected at each intersection, and -numbers.placed on each house and businesss establishment. If patrons S Y~the office 'are not sure of the i41.fper number assigned to their House, this'information can be ob- -tained by calling City Clerk Ben (Continued on page 10) ---- 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.

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: TO VOTE for the Act, mark a cross (X) in the square at the right of the words "FOR THE ACT". TO VOTE against the Act, mark a cross (X) in the square at the right of the words "AGAINST THE ACT'. CHAPTER 27301 (No. 822) House Bill No. 1399.

SMITH, Editor PHONE 51 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- HELLO, WORLD'!

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 Hospital Auxiliary Since its Inception Has Exceptional Record of Accomplishments At Municipal Institution The quarterly meeting of the St. for permitting the auxiliary to Joe Hospital Auxiliary was held rummage in her building each Thursday afternoon of last week on urday.

Fleishel stated that th $276.40 had been spent to weather- the board and furnish the north porch. It was voted to send a note to Da- mon Peters thanking him for pur- chasing furniture and assisting in C ra ' buying blinds for the north porch. Durel Brigmann donated a lamp for this porch.

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 t, ... ippery at all; people around here are just STARDUST and MOONSHINE c , 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. . Met a couple of mighty nice young fellers Friday night in Dean Smith of Johnson City, Tenn., and Jimmy "Slim" Gibson of Ashieville, N.

JOE, GULF COUNTY, FLORIDA 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 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.

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. ADDITIONAL SOCIETY (Continued from Page 2) FIRST MEETING OF YEAR FOR PORT ST.

I 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. lis on your printing is a sign of quality.
