PORT ST.

JOE, FLORIDA, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 19, 1951 NUMBER 4 Florida Civil Defense Head Blasts Apathy Gulf County Representative To Tal- lahassee Meet Says Howie Avers Civil Defense Is Here To Stay George Core, who Thursday of last week attended a regional meet- ing of civil defense representatives in Tallahassee, reports that Col. R. G. Howie, state civil defense direc- tor, really blasted off in regard to apathy of the public in general to- ward civil defense, stating that this state is as much a critical area as any in the nation, and that "whe- ther you like it or not, civil defense is here to stay.", "Some people think that Joe Sta- lin will concentrate on San Fran- cisco, New York, Chicago or Birm- ingham," said Howie, "but we just don't know. The federal government don't know. Russia can bomb all of the United States, including Flor- ida, any time it wants' to, and from several different directions." Howie noted that Florida has 1400 miles of coastline and 70 air strips, not to mention a number of large industrial centers, and said: "We are taking the stand that the entire state of Florida is a critical area." "I consider that Port St. Joe is a critical area," said Core, in com- menting on Howie's remarks, "with the paper mill, the oil terminal and the big St. Joe Lumber and Export Company mill.

A. Bower. Padgett had a bit of a time en- listing, as he had no birth certifi- cate, the school house in Ponce de Leon having burned with all birth records. However, through know- how of air force officials a birth certificate was secured for him. Incidentally, Sgt. Bower states that the Port St. Joe high, school list of eligibles is exhausted, with the exception of George Harper, and he's got his eye on that young man. The rest of our local high school graduates are either already in ser- vice or attending college. 'Sgt. Bower is in St. Joe every Monday from 10 a. m. to 1:30 p. m. at the postoffice, City Commission Has Lackadaisical Session The 'city commission had a short and sweet.meeting Tuesday night, with little of interest coming up. The ordinance calling for the re- registration of all voters in the city was adopted, and a lease signed with the St. Joe Land & Develop- ment Company for the use of the lot at the corner of Fifth Street and Garrison Avenue as a temporary trailer park, the sum being $10. The site will be used as a trailer park by the city for a period not later than 30 days after completion of the paper mill expansion work, or not later than December 31, 1952, whichever date falls first. The city dads authorized repairs to be made to the roof of the Cen- tennial. Auditorium, materials to cost $163.90 and the work to be ,done by A. W. Murphy.

Getting off to a fast start, the Sharks shoved over a touchdown a few minutes after the kickoff when, on the third play of the game Bob Walters ran 35 yards to the Bay three-yard marker and Bobby Gib- son, quarterback, went over on a quarterback sneak. Later in the pe- riod a pass, Gibson to Fred McCall, was good for 40 yards and another touchdown. In the second period, Lincoln Hall took a 'pass from Gibson on the Bay 25, and another toss by Gibson to Marion Smith put the ball in posi- tion for a score, and Gibson went over again on a quarterback sneak, passing to Hall successfully in the try for extra point. McCall made a spectacular 50-yard end run for the fourth touchdown. In the third period Smith inter- cepted a Baby Tornado pass on his own 40 and ran for a touchdown. Hall converted on a pass. The final counter for the Shark's.was scored by i ,cC a 1. i" ,, .-'. . The visitors scored their only touchdown late in the game on a pass taken by Douglas Warren.

Big feature of the festival, which is sponsored by Willis V. Rowan Post 116, American Legion, will be the Lee Amusement Company's big midway replete with shows and nine big rides, not to mention the booths for peanuts, popcorn, cotton candy and candy apples so dear to the' hearts of the kiddies. Main show on the midway is the Wall of Death, featuring Curley Sayres and his hell drivers. An- other big attraction will be Drex Barnes' "Monkey Land," featuring Tampa's dest-dressed monks. Big Bertha and her 27 Jungle Babies will also prove to be quite an at- traction, as will the famous Tracy Midget Village. Displays of various sorts will be placed in the American Legion hall. There will be no livestock, display this year, due to lack of facilities. There will be no admission to the fair grounds and everyone is invited to come early and come often dur- ing the six big days and nights. Gene Chism Named As West- Point-Candidate Grady E.

The editor of The Star was figuring up his in- come tax payment the other day, our withhold- ing tax payment, our old age benefit tax pay- ment and our state three per cent sales tax pay- ment preparatory to mailing out the necessary checks, and we began speculating on how high taxes .can safely go without destroying our free economy. It isn't that we mind so much paying these taxes, but we begrudge the time it takes from our business to keep the books, and especi- ally right now when we have no help. Those who have a head for figures agree that when taxes take more than 25 per cent of income they generate dangerous inflation-and, brother, we've certainly got that right now! If this is the case, then we'uns had better stop, look and listen, for the new federal tax bill just passed will re- sult in 32 per cent of income being used for government. We're certainly beginning to witness the fact that taxation and confiscation can become much the same thing. Why should a man take a chance on some venture or other when, if he succeeds, the government will gain most of the profit, while, if he fails, he must stand the entire loss~' And why should anyone work hard in an attempt to get ahead when the rewards of success be- come constantly smaller? First it was "soak the rich," but now tax rates have gone the limit in the upper brackets, so the so-called "little man"-with an income in the $5000-and-under brackets-is the sole remaining source of substantial new tax revenues, as you working men will soon find out. The irony lies in the fact that the government's drunken-sailor spending policy was started and has been carried on in the name of helping the "little man." You fellows who work for wages can keep that in mind next time you open a tax- depleted pay envelope. Waste and prodigality can destroy a nation just as it can destroy a family-and if your friend (he ain't ours) Harry Truman has overlooked any way to waste the taxpayers money we have yet.to hear of it.

Some "eye-opening" facts for every American motorist: Have you ever talked to a Kaiser owner? Six-years agoiwe.'at Kaiser'erazer began with the belief that Americans wanted a new kind of automobile. With no preconceived prejudices, we started from scratch to bring the public a new and better car. Today I wish you could sit with me and read the letters that come in daily from many of our 600,000 owners telling of almost unbelievable mileage without a single repair bill, and of driving day after day at more than 20 miles a gallon. Most of them say the 1951 Kaiser is a brand new adventure in economy, safety and great performance! That's why I'd like you to talk to a friend or neighbor who drives a Kaiser.

JOE GARDEN CLUB Scene on the midway of the Lee Amusement Company which will be in Port St. Joe all next week as a part of the Gulf County Fair to be staged October 22 to 27. This car- nival features nine rides and a number of shows, including "The BOY SCOUT NEWS TIM ELDER, Scribe Troop 47 of the Boy Scouts of America met Monday evening at the Scout Hut, at which time Scout- master J. T. Simpson welcomed all the new members after Scouts Wal- ters and VWilks led us in the Scout oath and laws. New items discussed in general were those connected with the Scout Circus to be presented in St. Joe for the first time next spring. Mr. Simpson assured us that the whole community was backing us and that two businessmen's organi- zations were making every effort to see that we have full co-opera- tion of the city in this undertaking. For this we are deeply grateful and shall do our utmost to give the peo- ple of Port St. Joe one of the most entertaining shows they have ever witnessed. Of course it will take a lot of work, and we are "digging in" for the big task before us. Along with this discussion, or- ganization was initiated for the on- coming years. In the Senior Scouts, Ferrell Allen Jr., was elected patrol leader of Patrol 2 and Tim Elder was elected to the same post in Pa- trol 1. Other leaders elected were Bruce Parker, Cobra Patrol; Rob- ert Nedley, Flying Eagle; Jimmy Howell, Flaming Arrow; W. L. Smith, Panther. With such leader- ship as these future men of tomor- row our troop can't help but suc- ceed, but not without the help and suggestions of the citizens of this community. Assistant Scoutmaster Ed Eells started the senior members on a new merit badge study of rocks and minerals. In this study we will learn of the general nature of the geology of the surrounding terrain along with being able to identify different minerals of importance. Scoutmaster Simpson asked .11 to urge boys who had not been out for scouting to be with us and join in the fun of scouting. If you have a son between the ages of 11 and 21, send us the boy and we will return to you the man. Once a month the troop will have a feast at the Hut for its members, and the patrol holding tlie honor banner for the month will be served by the other patrols. The meeting was closed in form and the scoutmaster led in the scout 'benediction, which we wish to share with you: "May the Great Scout- master of all scouts be with us un- til we meet again." More than one billion miles of thread is used each year 'by the New York City dress industry. W* ***********0*Z r Electrical Contracting and Repairing : Estimates Cheerfully * Given 0 ST.

Advertising Doesn't Cost It PAYS For the Southern gardener, Octo- ber is one of the busiest months of the year. There is a lot of planning to be done right now. Check the new rose and nursery catalogs and make lists for orders to be sent in later. Anticipate changes in your perennial, shrub and rose plantings and make out lists of the new ma- terial you will need. Don't make the mistake of burn- ing the leaves that are falling this month. Your soil needs them all. Use them to mulch the plants that need it, then pile the remainder of of the leaves in the compost bin. There's hardly an end to the amount of this material you will be able to use to advantage in your garden. Now is a good time to pot daffo- dils, tulips and hyacinths for forc- ing. After potting, place them in a cold frame or plunge them into the earth outdoors, to be brought in- doors after four to six weeks. Chrysanthemums, roses and dah- lias should be at their lovely best Come in for A Game of Pool, and Then Try Our ... OYSTERS ON THE HALF SHELL and remember, we still have that Draft Beer on tap ST.
