The group was made up of David Chandler, screen writer; Genevieve Aumont, imported French actress; election, those voting numbering 8.296. Proponents of the track had ob- tained a conditional permit for a track from the state racing board, which had to be approved by the voters before a track could be built and operated. Under state law, two years must elapse before another application for a dog racing track permit can be filed. Yard Beautification Contest Winners Are Announced By Club Judges Find Selection of Most Out- standing Projects A Dif- ficult Proposition Winners in the "Yard Improve- ment" contest sponsored by the St. Joe Garden Club were announced at a joint meeting of the Gladiolus and Azalea Circles held Thursday of last.week at Hotel St. Joe. Eighteen of Port St. Joe's citizens entered this contest, and the judges found it most difficult in selecting the three winners, since twelve had completed the job they set out to do, which all amounted to great .m- provement. Points on which the contestants were judged were (1) general land- scaping, (2) condition of the lawn, (3) condition of the shrubbery, and (4) the elimination of unsightly spots. Consideration was also taken of the amount of work done, greatest amount of improvement, and the amount of money spent on outside help. After eliminating seven more of the contestants, the-judges awarded the prizes to Mrs. George Patton, first, $25; Mrs. Garland Lawrence, second, $15, and Mrs. Basil E. Ken- ney Jr., third, $10. Honorable men- tion went to Mrs. J. C. Culpepper and Mrs. George Cooper. The Garden Club points out that this contest was very beneficial to ,t community, aiding in making it attractive to visitors and- a-more beautiful place in which to live. -_-----_- St. Joe Sharks Lose To Bristol Bulldogs 20-0 Meet Bay High Baby Tornadoes Tonight At Centennial Field Under Lights By JACKIE KENNEY The small but fast Bristol eleven outplayed the St. Joe Sharks.in an exciting game last Friday night. The first quarter was a.give-and- take battle, with Mitchell Larkin of Bristol crashing over in the begin- ning of the second quarter for the first score. The rush play for extra point was made by Junior Phillips. The second Bristol touchdown and extra point were also made by Phil- lips.

Ordinance Calls for Re-registration of City's Voters Will Get 'Dead Wood' Off Books; New Commission- ers Are Seated At the regular meeting of the city commission, the city dads heard the first reading of an ordinance call- ing for re-registration of all voters within the confines of Port St. Joe. The ordinance provides for the registration books to open Wednes- day, November 7, and remain open from 9 a. m. to 12 noon -and from 2 to 5 p. m. every day except Sundays and holidays, until 10 days prior to the holding of the next regular mu- nicipal election. It is estimated by City Clerk Ben Dickens that of the 1,540 names on the books that about 400 of them are "deaid wood," having left the city or died. He figures that usually about two-thirds of the qualified electors turn out for an election, which is generally about 750, or ap- proximately half of those registered. Final reading of the ordinance will be on October 16. The two new commissioners, Clif ford Tharpe and Watson Smith; and Mayor Jake Belin were duly in- stalled, after which the budget for the ensuing year, as published, was adopted. Ralph E. Rich; past commander of Willis V. Rowan Post 116, Amer- ican Legion, and president of the Gulf County Fair Association, ap- peared before the board with a re- quest that the license for the car- nival being sponsored by the Legion be Waived. His request was granted, but the board insisted on assessing the city admission tax. Only other matter of importance coming up was the request of the West Florida Gas Company to in- stall a storage tank in the alley near Rich's Super-Market on prop- erty owned by E. J. Rich. Since the gas company has not given a defi- nite proposal in regard to the mat- ter, the commission tabled it until details are forthcoming. ---r---- Girls' Football Game Is Scheduled Wednesday The sophomore class of the Port St. Joe high school is sponsoring a girls' football game at the school gridiron next Wedntsday.

Our Country Right or Wrong PIG CANCELS WELFARE CHECK One of the nastiest pieces of bureaucrat ar- rogance we've seen in a long time is that of the federal government holding back Florida's old age assistance fund allocation because of a new state law permitting a person to have a garden, one cow, one pig and ten chickens for his own use without getting his welfare check cut. Previous to passage of this law a considerable* number of old folks who had chickens, or a cow,; or a pig, or perhaps all three, were warned by district welfare offices to get rid of them. In fact, we had a couple of cases like that right here in Port St. Joe, and if our memory serves us correctly, we editorialized rather strongly about it at the time. What do those mealy-mouthed bureaucrats up in Washington think the old folks are going to do, just sit around and twiddle their thumbs and wait for the Grim Reaper to take ITEN YEARS AGO From the Files of The Star Surfacing of Road Finally Approvea Good news, finally! The road de- partment announces that 4.6 miles of Highway No. 6 between White City and Cypress Creek will be re- surfaced. This stretch of road for several years has been the bane of motorists using it, and those with false teeth have been compelled to remove them for safety's sake when coming to this badly rutted section. In fact, it is so rough that H. M. McClamma avers that at times his milk for 'delivery to St. Joe is churned to butter in passing over this stretch.

The greatest quantity increases were in the South Central, South At- lantic, and East North Central re- gions, in each of which over two million tons more fertilizer were Used in 1949 than in 1939. The great- est percentage increase was in the West North Central region, which used more than 11 times as much. Two states of that region-Iowa and Minnesota-together doubled this increase by using 22 times the quan- tity. 0 Wit; this great increase in the use of fertilizer in our important farm areas, it behooves the farm- ers of the United States to be sure Sthqt they make the proper and best possible use of this fertilizer. Even these figures giving increase in ton- iage don't tell the whole story be- cause of the increased percentage of plant nutrients, in each ton of fer- tilizer during this period, so that instead of 2-1/7 timzs as m'.ch it is more nearly 2% times in effec- tiveness. We need to make sure that we know when to use fertilizers, how to apply them, and what the fer- tilizer needs of our soils and crops are. We need to know and under- stand commercial fertilizers if we are to get all that we can from cur fertilizer dollars, as well as frcm our seed dollars and the dollars used in other ways to improve our crop yields. Most farmers know that commer- cial fertilizers are not a substitute for the use of lime, contouring, seed of high quality and of the right vari- ety, manure, and, good crop rota- tions. Instead of being a replace- ment, commercial fertilizer is a supplement to manure and soil- building crops such as clovers and alfalfa. By following these other good soil-building practices, we can then make the best use of cnr-m-r- cial fertilizer lb--- ~L As far as the piant or the crop is conceded, commercial fertilizers may differ greatly. We need to know fertilizers to make the right selec- tion for the crop and soil. Three different major plant food elements are contained in commer, cial iertilizer--nitrogen, phosphor- us, and potassium. All of these elements are found in the soil, but sometimes there is too small an amount in an available form; that is, the plant cannot get enough for the best growth and yield. In that case we can often add commercial fertilizer of the right kind with profit. Each of the three ele- ments has a certain job to do in producing the crop. One cannot sub- stitute for the other. No amount of phosphate added will correct a soil that is too low in potassium or ni- trogen. Just as soils differ greatly in ap pearance and productivity, so do they also differ in the kind of fer- tilizers they need. Thisis the main reason why the amounts and the grades of fertilizer used by farmers in different soil areas are so differ- ent. In addition to the major differ- ences in fertilizer needs among the general soil areas, the soils within any one soil area even within a soil type also differ markedly in their fertilizer needs, depending upon cropping history and general soil management practices used. Fertilizer experiments cannot be carried out on every farm. In many cases, however, a farmer can make some fertilizer tests in a field by the use of broad strips of land differ- ently fertilized. Farmers can often be mutually helpful by participat- ing in such simple tests. Chemical soil or plant tissue tests made in a central laboratory are often very helpful as a guide to more economical fertilizer practice. Ask your county agent where to have such, a test made, and how to take the samnle. S yaunt- CL -s they can seat 38,024 more people.

He urgel grocers to make candi- dates for governor and the legisla- ture take a firm stand: 1. Against taxes o; necessities of life (food and clothing) and against further taxes on consumers. 2. Against elimination of reduc- tion of the $5000 tax exemption on homesteads. 3. For legislation prohibiting use of "loss leader" items to attract shoppers. After praising the association for its fight in 1949 and 1951 to prevent the legislature from including food items in the sales tax, lie warned that the forces who want "a gen- eral sales tax," where all items would 'be taxed, "will not be satis- fied with defeat. They will try to tax exempted items in 1953. They tried to do it in 1951." He said the most popular amend- ment ever added to Florida's con- stitution was the one exempting for tax purposes all homesteads up to a value of $5000. "It has brought more benefit to more people than any other amend- ment," he stated, "but despite this fact there are forces that want to abolish the exemption. If they can't repeal it, they want to weaken it. -Some of them want to reduce it to $2500 or allow homesteads to be taxed for school purposes. "If they are going to change it at all they should raise the exemption to $10,000," he said, adding that a home which cost $5000 when the amendment was adopted costs al- most $10,000 now. The governor then took a slap at the practice of using "loss leader" items in merchandising. He told the grocers that this practice works a hardship on them. "It creates an unfair advantage, and I'm hopeful that the next session of the legisla- ture will'have a smaltbusiness com- mittee in each house to.go into this matter. "The American practice is to live and let live," he concluded. "Just because you've got strange resources doesn't mean you should use them 'to drive out the weak. This 'loss leader' business is a tendency in that direction. The first shipment of nitrate fer- tilizer from Chile reached'the U. S. in 1830.

In a 'breakdown on the overall state hunting prospects, Frye said that dder and turkey populations are on the increase throughout the state.

On migratory bird hunting, Frye stated that he was expecting only an average dove season this year, even though the resident dove pop- ulation in Florida is unusually high. Reason for this is that the migra- tory dove population in Northern states has decreased considerably which will have an effect on the Florida hunting.' Duck hunting should be about the same throughout Florida, or slightly better, than it was last year, de- pending 'to a considerable extent on weather conditions in the North, said Frye.

GARDEN NOTES PORT ST.

It is the time, too, when every gardener, as he plants these treasures in the good earth, affirms anew his faith in Divine Goodness which will bring forth from seeds and !bulbs the green, leaves and gay blossoms locked away in these tiny emllemp of im- mortality. October is one of the best months for seed planting. It is also the im- portant time \to plant bulbs for spring blooming. Copious rains of last month have put the ground in excellent condition to, plant flower seeds in the open ground where they are to grow. Of course, in spite of mixing the tiny seeds .with large amounts of vermiculite or sand to make them spread out, ,they still come up so thick that they must be thinned out. These little plants may be moved to other beds or borders and with a little help from a transplant- ing solution will never know that they were disturbed.

Here' why Fordomatic pfs them all in the past For the past year, auTomotive writers, engineers and owners have been raving about a new kind of automatic driving ... and here's why you get it . ... ..... All the power you need when you need it! It gives you instant "GO"! fie ^ h Itpractically drives itself! --^ .^as^. The automatic drive some cars offer you is a torque converter which multiplies torque with- out the use bf gears. Its advantage is a smooth low of.power. Its disadvantage is a smaller Sange of torque multiplication which requires hnore power from the engine and an uneco- nomical axle ratio which increases costs. Other cars offer an automatic drive that uses automatic gears (as illustrated In simplified form at right) instead of a torque converter. The advantage here is more "go," more con- ,rol and greater economy. The disadvantage s that this system is not as smooth, nor as jerk-free as a torque converter. See our selection of USED CARS /fASo Yes, Fordomatic has a * torque converter plus automatic: gears. It brings you only the advantages of both drives. Unlike cars with only a torque converter (which start and cruise all in one drive gear), Fordo- motic starts fast and smooth in Intermediate Gear then shift itself into Drive Gear. jokkkftu Lri.E Fordomatic Drive optional on V-8 models of exira cost.
