O. O. F. was observed, with Mrs. Henry Geddie in charge of the program.

W. C. Forehand was celebrating his 86th birthday the same day, so everyone joined in wishing him many happy returns of the day. The Rebekah Lodge is proud of his 50 years of service to Oddfellowship. During the social hour following the meeting, refreshments were en- joyed !by all. Next meeting of the lodge will be Thursday, October 11. Sunday School Class Enjoys Beach.

Our Country Right or Wrong THE THINKING VOTER SPEAK It is indeed gratifying to know that the think- ing people of Gulf county went to the polls and voted down the proposed pay raise for members of the school board and approved publication of the minutes of the county commissioners and the school board, together with all expenditures made by these two bodies, despite the fact that the election was set on a Saturday, an unprecedented and never-before-heard-of action. No longer will school board matters be kept in the dark, and, too, the taxpayers of the county will now know exactly where the money goes that is handled-by the school board and the com- missioners. While the county commissioners pub- lish, the minutes of their meetings, during the past several years they had discontinued listing expenditures, having discovered some flaw in the law that allowed them to do this. And speaking of publication of the minutes, we have learned that those working against hav- ing the school board minutes published circu- lated the false information that the reason the editor of The Star was urging the voters to vote for publication of the minutes was that The Star and the Gulf County Breeze were receiving $900 each for publication of the county. commission minutes, and that if the school board minutes were to also be published the two publishers would practically become swollen plutocrats at 'the expense of the taxpayers. We'll rise up on pur hind legs right now and scotch that lie. Had expenditures of the commissioners been published in the past these uninformed individuals would have discovered that The Star receives the munificent sumof $35 per month for publication of the commission minutes-a total of $420 per year-and that on al- ternate years The Breeze publishes the minutes for a like sum, the paper not designated as the TEN YEARS AGO From the Files of The Star Senior Class Elects Officers At the first class meeting of the year of the senior class of Port St. Joe high school Monday, the fol- lowing officers were elected: Mar- guerite Williams, president; John Lane, vice-president; Jack Joughin, secretary aid treasurer; "Bucky" Walters, editor "The Tattler"; Foy Scheffer and Marigene Smith, re- porters.

Advertising doesn't cost, it PAYS! Advertising doesn't cost, it PAYS! STARDUST and MOONSHINE Roy "Happy" Kemp, head rigger for the Tidewater Construction Co., passed up a golden opportunity to put thirty bucks in his jeans when he killed a three-foot rattlesnake in the Gibson .chicken yard at Beacon Hill last Saturday. The varmint had 12 rattles on its nethermost extrem- ity "Happy," proud of his feat, had his picture made with the corpse to send home to the folks in Norfolk, Va. "If I'd only known it," moaned the big game hunter, "I could have gotten $10 per foot from the Snakeatorium in Panama City. I just knocked my- self outa thirty simoleons." . That is an easy way to make extra cash on the side-or is it? He said the rattler was quite a novelty to him, since they don't have 'em up in Virginia where he hails from. Does classified advertising in The Star pay, or doesn't it? Well, W. H. Weeks out at Highland View KNOW'S it does. Last week he put a class ad in the paper to sell his stock of goods. "Business is getting too good,"' he told us. "I'm having to work too hard, and I'm getting lazy as a cooter'ri my old age, so I official county organ publishing the minutes free of charge as a public service so that the residents of the county might keep informed. And this sum is one of the lowest paid in Florida for pub- lication of such matter. Next year, any informa- tion carried by The Star in regard to activities of the county comrhission will be done so free of cost to the taxpayers, since The Breeze next year will be designated as the official paper. Had the pay raise for school board members passed, each would have received $600 per year plus 10 cents per mile traveling expense-from the pockets of the taxpayers-and then who would become the swollen plutocrats? YOUR FUTURE? According to a press dispatch we read the other day, if you are a 29-year-old average male, you can look forward to paying a minimum of $34,700 in taxes by the time you are 65-that is, if you don't work yourself to death in an en- deavor to raise that amount and manage to eat also. This average 29-year-old earns $4,300 a year, has two children and a mortgaged home. Of that $34,700 tax bill almost half-$15,684-will go for federal income taxes. The rest will be levied in the form of real property taxes, social security, gasoline tax, state incomebtax, various excise and "luxury" taxes (if he is able to afford any of the so-called luxuries), and so down the long list. The $34,700 figure, remember, is a minimum. No one can forecast the future with accuracy. In fact, if government goes on with the prodigal waste that has characterized it for a generation, the ultimate tax bill for the 29-year-old average man, and everyone else, will be far higher. On top of that, more government-induced inflation will sharply reduce the purchasing power of what little money we have left after the tax col- lector gets through. It is commonly argued that wars and the threat of more wars make these tremendous taxes in-- evitable. That's an easy alibi for the professional bureaucrats, but it won't hold water.

JOE, GULF COUNTY, FLORIDA FRIDAY, OCTOBER 5, 1951 Parcel Post Rates Go Up 25 Per Cent House and Senate Bills On Hike for First Class and Air Mail Now Being Compromised Most parcel post rates went up an average of 25% Monday, as those taking packages in to Chauncey Costin's postal emporium found to their surprise. The move was de- signed to put this branch of the postal service on a pay-as-you-go basis. It is estimated the increase will bring in an additional $100,000,- 000 yearly to cover a deficit which has annually ranged around that figure the last several years: The upward revisions were au- thorized by the interstate commerce commission last may after congress had rejected Postmaster Jesse Don- aldson's requests for higher rates and advised him to turn to the ICC under a little-used law which au- thorizes the commission, on request, to deal with parcel post. The parcel post changes cover general parcel post and catalog mailings (hard on Sears and Mont- gomery Ward). The ICC also au- thorized increases in book rates, subject to further study. The long- standing free mailing of books for 'the blind will continue. The changes raise the local rate for a 1-pound parcel from 10c to 15c and for a 70-pound parcel from 64c to $1.02.

JOE GARDEN CLUB Winter Lawn Beauty In the past few years many home- owners in the southern states have found the secret .to winter lawn beauty. This winter lawn program is simple and easy to follow. It will take only a few hours to put in your winter lawn. The winter grasses used are shal- low rooted and will not forage deep enough to injure or disturb the permanent grasses. To provide an ample supply of food nutrients, within easy reach of the roots of these winter grasses, it is necessary that a feeding of complete plant food be made. Here are the three simple steps to winter lawn beauty: 1. Early in the fall, cut the grass on your permanent lawn close and remove the clippings. . Apply a complete plant food evenly on the surface. Use 4 pounds per 100 square feet of area. 3. Sow evenly with winter rye grass seed, rake in lightly and soak down thoroughly. Water daily NOTICE!

It is pointed out that no regis- trant will be placed in Class III-A because he has a child which is not yet born unless, prior to the time the local board mails him an order to report for induction, .there is filed with the local board the cer- tificate of a licensed physician stat- ing that the child has been con- ceived. Registrants whose circumstances are those as outlined above and who have not presented this infor- mation to their local board, should do so at once. Some registrants now classified in Class III-A because of a wife alone may .be engaged in an essen- tial occupation and hold a key po- sitioh. If 'such is the case, and a re- placement is not readily available, this information should be fur- nished to the local board at once. Only Four Blind Persons In State Had Drivers' Licenses Out of the more than 3200 blind persons in Florida receiving assist- ance through the state department of public welfare, a recent study re- vealed that only four held drivers' licenses, Robert Bellows, who is a member of the District 2 board of the state department of public wel- fare, said yesterday. Bellows said he had been advised by the board of the results of the study, which involved a check of all those receiving aid to the blind against records of the department of public safety, where names of persons holding drivers' licenses are maintained. 'Some time ago there were reports that a large nunnber of blind per- sons receiving public assistance held drivers' licenses and were driv- ing on the highways. After these reports were circulated, the two de- partments got together and made the study, Bellows explained. Under new regulations of the wel- fare department, an applicant for blind assistance must be examined by a recognized ophthalmologist and must furnish evidence through the safety department that he does not hold a drivers' license before a grant will be approved.

Mrs J J errtt Right Depth of Planting Vital with Fall Bulbs PLANTING DEPTH I INCH 2 INCHES 3 INCHES 4 INCHES 5 INCHES 6 INCHES 7 INCHES 8 INCHES Keep This Bulb Planting Depth Chart. It Will Be Helpful to You. Fall bulbs should never be plant- ed in poorly drained locations. If your garden is low, lacking a place where water never stands, but al- ways quickly rums or drains away, then such a' place must be created by elevating a bed six inches or more above. the surface. Remember that newly turned soil settles; so heap it above the bulbs, an inch or two, to avoid leaving a depression when it packs down. The depths of planting given in the ta- ble may be considered minimums; deeper planting may often be ad- visable. One of the chief hazards for all bulbs is "frost heaving," due to alternate freezing and thaw- ing of the soil, which may lift shal- low rooted plants out of the soil. Bulbs planted so late they cannot make roots in the fall are likely to suffer from it; and large bulbs not set deep enough will often be in- jured. A mulch placed over the bulbs after the ground has frozen will keep the frost in, and reduce frost heaving. . When it is intended to allow tulips to remain where you plant them several years rather than dig them up after they have blossomed and their leaves have turned yellow each summer, they should be plant- ed two or three inches deeper than the normal depth. Deep plating may cause flower- ing to be somewhat later, so all bulbs which it is desired shall blos- som at the same time should be planted the same depth. The lilies which need deep plant ing (7 to 10 inches) are those thai make roots on their stems above the bulb. The madonna lily, whicl does not do this, needs shal- low planting, 3 to 4 inches down.
