The voters of Gulf county will go to the polls next Tuesday for the purpose of okehing or rejecting a proposed 7-mill levy for the next two years for operation of county schools and to name three trustees for two-year terms. Two years ago voters of the county passed favor- ably on a levy of 3 mills for opera- tion of the schools. The increased millage is deemed necessary due to anticipated increase in school at- tendance during the next two years. It is customary to elect three trustees at these elections, but as there are but three names appear- ing on the ballot this year, there will be no competition. Those quali- fying were Floyd Hunt of this city and R. D. Lister of Wewahitchka, present trustees, and Joe Dowd, also of this city. Jake Belin, one of the present trustees, is not seeking re-election. The county is divided into five trustee districts, but only three trl,. taee are elected ht nn twov nf Officers Destroy 500-Gallon Still Near White City State Installation Capable of Turning Out 150 Gallons of Moonshine Weekly Deputy Sheriff J. G. Hersey and State Highway Patrolman G. E. Jor- dan are making quite a name for themselves in tracking down and destroying moonshine stills in this neck o' the woods. In fact, we un- derstand that a number of distillers of illicit liquor are threatening to transfer their activities from Gulf county across t he Apalachicola River to Franklin and Liberty coun- ties due to the activities of these two gentlemen. Officers Hersey and Jordan dis- covered a 500-gallon still Saturday morning in the swamp about a mile northeast of White City which they estimated was capable of turning out 150 gallons of mooshine a week for imbibers of that potent stuff. They destroyed the still-and about these can be elected'from the same 500 gallons of mash made up in .district. Hunt is in District 4, Lis- eight barrels. ter in District 2, and Dowd in Dis- "It was the neatest layout I've AIi I,A I" al TJ.P- "RTvrv."- trict 3. There are no candidates from Districts 1 and 5. Polling places will be the St. Joe city hall for the south end of the county and the city hall in Wewa- hitchka for the-north end: .' Only qualified electors may par- ticipate in this election, a; qualified elector being anyone who pays taxes on real or personal property and who is otherwise qualified ac- cording to law.

Deputy Hersey picked up a 100- gallon still last week about 10 miles south -of Port -.St. Joe,..near -Depot Creek. There was but one barrel of mash at the still. The latter part of September Of- ficers Hersey and Jordan came into town with'the remains of a 500-gal- lon still they had destroyed in the swamp near Simmons Bayou, south of this city. -----_ ------ Visitors From Blountstown Mr. and .Mrs. James Holt and Pete McFarland of Blountstown vis- ited in St. Joe last week with Mr. and Mrs. Ed Frank McFarland and Mr. and Mrs. Fred Maddox, LOOK FOR THAT PAY CHECK CUT You people working for wages withheld prior to October 1, 1950, wilprobably think the bookkeeper when the last tax boost went into made a mistake when you receive effect. your pay checks or pay envelopes And on top of the depleted today and tomorrow, for it won't be pay check, higher excise taxes have the usual amount you've been get- been slapped on a lot of widely sold ting. items, such as cigarets, gasoline, But it won't-be a mistake: autolpobiles, liquor and some house- Your friend (he ain't ours) Presi- hold appliances. dent.

Presentation At Annual Carnival Bill Hedri of TallahasseK Based On 'Snow Whit' 400 Klux Klan leader and a candidate for governor, is making a "farce" of Florida's new election code, ac- cording to Dick Ervin, state attor- ney general. As an announced candidate for governor, Hendrix is required un- der a new election law passed by the last legislature to file weekly reports of the money he has spent on his candidacy and the contribu- tions he has received. Hendrix .has refused to name a bank through which his campaign funds will flow, as required by the law, on the ground it would violate his religious tenets to do business through a bank. His second "report," filed with Secretary of State Bob Gray, listed his expenditures for the period Oc- tober 22-27 at $6.50. He said $5 was spent for an advertisement in a Jacksonville weekly for a campaign treasurer "who is not afraid of be- ing smeared by the Jews, who has at least 10 years experience at com- plicated election laws." He listed $1 as spent to pay for having a radio, commentator "re-gassed" and "sent 50c to Chattahoochee for one brain" for a Tallahassee political writer. He reported contributions of $4.60 from persons he listed as Tutsie Doe, Umpty D e,' Jess Steinberg, Joe Fish'bein, Stinky Lipschitz and Baby Doe. Hendrix concluded his report with "Slow week, ain't it." He also sub- mitted a report showing total cam- paign expenses of $1,685.86 and to- tal contributions of $1,785.89. The contributors were listed as John Henry Doe, Joe Doe, Samuel Doe, Sara Doe and unknown friends.

RALPH SWATTS Now is the time for all good men -and women-and boys and girls -to give their attention to the plans of the Parent-Teacher Asso- ciation of Port St. Joe for the an- nual school carnival to be presented tomorrow. To those who about this time last year watched P.-T. A. in the pro- cess of ushering into the city a mul- titude of witches, goblins, dragons, black cats and numerous other in- spirations of horror, this year's pre- sentation of Fairyland should be a welcome change. For months plans have been in the making, and as announced by the carnival chair- man, Mrs. Jack Swain, in the Octo- ber meeting, are really something about which to write home. The carnival will open on the Centennial grounds at 4 p. m. to- morrow. Fun booths will include a hall of horrors, in charge of Mrs. J. H. Geddie and. Mrs. B. C. Gail- lard; two fish ponds in charge of Mrs. B. E. Rawls and Mrs. T. E.

Some lucky little girl and- boy will win prizes. Food being the road to a man's heart-or to a womans-or to a boys' or girls'-P.-T. A. has made ample provision that this road may be well traveled. The cake sales will be in charge of Mrs. Welton Roche, Mrs. E. P. Lapeyrouse and Mrs. Walter Richardson; pies, Mrs. Sue Sapuding and Mrs. Carol War- ner; Mrs. Paul Fensom and Mrs. Carl Zimmerman, hot dogs; Mrs. Thurland Poitevint, coffee;.

He has made a special study of Sunday school work, and is well qualified to, lead in these studies."

Mary Harris, 14 and weighing in at 140 pounds, dropped by at the Legion Auxiliary hot dog stand and remarked to her mother, Mrs. Kath- ryn Harris: "It's getting emptier and emptier," referring to her change pocket, to which we re- marked: "We thought you were re- ferring to your tummy." Mrs. Ed Ramsey ordered a bowl of soup at the stand about that time, and the only spoon available was one about the size of a soup ladle bet it would hold half a cup .... "You can't get that in your mouth," said we .... "Wanna bet?" said Mrs. R .. And the bowl of the spoon and half the handle went into her mouth .... She should be a feature attraction at the coming P.-T. A. carnival as a sword-swal- lower. Doc King asked us if we had a cigar for sale. Told him "No," but that we'd give him our last one. "A life-saver," quoth Doc. "When I get to be president-of the Kiwanis Club, that is-I'll re- pay you threefold." All of you readers are witnesses... Doc owes us three Tampa Nuggetts when he becomes "President." We financed a ride for Miss Faye Parker on "The Plane," a ride that made us shudder just to watch it percolate, and when she got off we asked here how she liked it.... "Oh, it's supersquendacious," she replied breathlessly. Monty Gentry asked us if we had any passes left, as he was waiting for his girl friend, Wanda Kenning- ton to show up and his finances weren't any too good. We told him we'd see that they had a ride on the ferris wheel He followed us around the grounds for about an hour, and as we were seated under the "Airplane.Swing" talking to the operator and watching the cars whiz by overhead, we heard a joy- ous shout: "Editor Bill! Editor Bill! She's here!" He could hardly wait, but we didn't want to duck under those swinging thingumabobs and take a chance on getting knocked into the middle of next week, so he had to prance around impatiently until the machine came to a stop, then we were herded to the ferris wheel. Saw Gus Creech with two of his daughters, Kay and Cecelia, on the ferris wheel Every time it swung over, the lights would re- flect blindingly off Gus' bald pate. . He should emulate Jack Benny and get himself an assortment of toupees. Visitors From Massachusetts Mrs. Hershe L.

The editor of The Star is secretary of the Gulf County Fair Association, the charter of which is owned by Willis V. Rowan Post 116, American Legion, he is also adjutant of the post and con- siders himself a fair Legionnaire. We are explain- ing all this because what we are about to say is going to rile some folks-paricularly members of the local Legion post-but somebody should say something about' it, and We've sort of become accustomed to sticking our neck out. What we are referring to is the bringing in of large carnivals as a part of the annual fair which take from our community five or six thousand dollars, perhaps more, during the week they play here. This hurts our local merchants, our local theater and other businesses, but it particularly hurts the working man who goes out on the mid- way and spends more than he should before he realizes it. We've belonged to Legion posts which spon- sored fairs and a number of them brought in a small outfit having about three rides and no "gyp" joints or honky-tonk shows. They them- selves operated a shooting gallery, wheels, knock- down-the-milk-bottles, dolls, etc., and the greater part of the money realized from the carnival went to the Legion post, which in turn spent it in their home town. We think it's a, good idea. But we are opposed to some carnival company dodging fair and just city, county and state li- censes and amusement taxes (although the city dads did this year insist that our city tax be col- lected on all admissions) simply by billing them- selves as a fair and getting some non-profit or- ganization to loan its name in exchange for free licenses and a percentage on the operation of the show. Why should our local theater, with its payroll, costly operating expenses, a considerable amount invested in our city and civic co-operation mani- fested, through benefit shows, contributions to local charities and team work with our civic or- ganizations be penalized by competition in the amusement field by carnivals which are granted free licenses? Let's just stop a moment and ask ourselves "Just what is a fair?" Is it a carnival company plus a small display of home-canned fruits and vege- tables, fancywork, etc., or should it be a complete display of all the resources of our county, some- thing that we can view with pride and say: "All of that and more makes up Gulf county." True, the carnival that played here last week was clean and did not carry the usual bunch of gyp games manned by fast-talking artists who would take a gullible customer for everything but his shoelaces, but despite that it did take out of our city thousands of dollars that should have gone into the tills of our business people-the people who pay taxes and assist in making Port St. Joe the up-and-coming city it is. We've had our say-you can take it from here. "I'm going to give you the maximum punish- ment," the judge announced to a crestfallen de- fendant. "I'm not going to putyou in our nice jail.

IN RACE FOR GOVERNOR STARDUST and MOONSHINE Denver Miller made a conquest on the midway of the fair last Fri- day-a gal in a scanty green satin gown. .. To you folks, and in order to keep Denver out of the doghouse, it was a cute little monk (boy or girl-don't ask us) in the Monkeyland show. .. She'd tear around the tent, but always come back to him. A relation, per- haps, Denver? We printed some handbills for Glenn Boyles off his ad last week, and there was an error on it, being "Gingham Gowns $1.00." It was Glenn's own copy, but we were in a hurry and didn't call him to read proof. He called us up and re- gretfully said he couldn't use 'em. S. We had intended not charging him for them, but as we passed by his store Friday, we noticed that he had marked a 2 over the 1 and was using the dodgers. We informed him that we were going to charge him half .price for the job.... You should have heard his pitiful story. Seems there was a wan, hungry- looking young woman came into the store begging for a pair of shoes for her tattered little ragamuffin son. She begged with tears in her eyes for a pair of shoes ... And big-hearted Glenn gave her the shoes in return for marking 500 twos over the $1.00 on the dodgers. . Peculiar thing, though. All of the writing was the same as Glenn does. Mrs. Estelle Mosely was working at the Legion Auxiliary hot dog stand at the fair one morning last week. Said she had to let her house work go, but to keep her husband placated (seems he doesn't believe in women letting the housework go) she yanked the sheets off the bed '.and_'-told' him' she, was airing them. Earl Sellers, author of "Brainless Babble" in the Chipley News, at times is like us-too lazy, or just can'. think of anything to write on. S. So he reprinted an editorial of ours we ran a couple of weeks ago on taxes, "Stop, Look and Lis- ten!", saying, in part: "We were inclined to be slightly on the lazy side this week-again-so have called in help. The help comes in the way of an editorial clipped from our friend Bill Smith's paper down at Port St. Joe-The Star. We could have written a week and not said more than has been said in this truth-revealing editorial- and, of course, everyone' knows it is the truth that usually hurts (and taxes are certainly getting to the point where they really hurt). "The article expresses right to the letter our feeling. We, too, are one of 'Uncle Harry's' bookkeepers and it is cramping our style some- thing awful--especially when we don't get to go fishing any more than we do for having to stay around and put in overtime as a govern- ment bookeeper without conipensa- tion (here he quoted our edit). "Smitty said there that Harry Truman wasn't HIS friend. Truth is, Bill, Harry isn't anybody's friend, wouldn't you say? That is, unless he's Harry Truman's friend. We did what we could last election to do something about it, but guess there just wasn't enough of us good old Dixiecrats to make any difference. "Time's a-comin' agin next year -maybe weuns Dixiecrats can try again. However, in all probability not enough will be done-for we will all be too weak from the old tax-bleed by that time to exert enough effort to even be noticed."

Waves as high as 50 and 60 feet have been observed in the South Atlantic Ocean off the Cape of Good Hope. On June 15, 1950, an Emergency Board appointed by the President under the terms of the Railway Labor Act-an Act largely fathered by the unions themselves -made its recommendations on certain wage and working conditions ("rules" in railroad language) which had been in dis- pute between employes and the railroads. More Than 90% of Employes Accept Since then, terms equal to or better than the Board recommendations have been accepted by about 1,200,000 railroad em- ployes-more than 90% of the total of all workers. They are represented by 20 of the 23 standard railroad unions. Less Than 10% Refuse But three unions-with about 130,000 men, or less than 10% of the total-have refused to accept, even after months of negotiations. These three unions are the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen, and the Order of Railway Conductors. These are three of the so- called "operating" unions. Already the highest paid men in the industry, their leaders demand still further advantages over other workers. In all, there are about 270,000 operating employes. But not all of them, by any means, are represented by BLE, BLF&E, or ORC. As aSmatter of fact, less than half-132,000 to be exact-are in these three unions. More than half-about 140,000-are in other unions, principally the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen. What makes the whole situation so hard to understand is that these 140,000 op- erating employes are working under wages and rules which the leaders of the other 130,000 say they cannot agree to. What Do the'Railroads Offer? They offer these three unions the same settlement which was contained in a Mem- orandum of Agreement signed at the White House on December 21, 1950, by four brotherhoods and the railroads. Later these brotherhoods sought to repudiate this agreement. But on May 25, 1951, the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen signed a. complete agreement carrying out the Annual Apalachicola "Harbor D y' Festival Set for November 13 Governmental Leaders and Busi- nessmen of Area To Gather For Big Event The chamber of commerce, city commission and the harbor advis- ory board of Apalachicola are again sponsoring "Harbor Day" in our nearby community.

But leaders of three unions-with only about 130,000 men, or less than 10%-still refuse, after more than a year of negotiations, to accept similar wage and' rules agreements.

Under the terms of the agreement, yard engineers, firemen and conductors would now be receiving a wage increase of $.34 an hour ($2.72 a day) and road engineers, firemen and conductors would now be re- ceiving an increase of 19% cents an hour ($1.56 per day). Large sums of retroactive pay have already accrued and if the agree- ment is carried out, will be paid promptly. What About "Cost of Living" Increases? The VWhite House Agreement includes an "escalator" clause under which wages will be geared to changes in the Government's cost-of-living index. Two such increases -April and July, 1951 -havealready been paid to the 90% of railroad employes cov- ered by signed agreements. What About the 40-Hour Week? The White House Agreement calts for the establishment of the 40-hour week in prin- ciple, for employes in yard service. The employes can have it any time after Jan- uary 1, 1952, provided the manpower sit- uation is such that the railroads can get enough men to perform the work with reasonable regularity at straight time rates. If the parties do not agree on the question of availability of manpower, the White House Agreement provides arbitra- tionby a refereeappointedbythePresident. What Else Do the Union, Leaders Demand? The continued quibbling of the leaders of the three unions has to do principally with rules changes, which have already been agreed to by the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen. Of these, the principal one seems to be that having to do with so- called "interdivisional service"-runs which take in two or more seniority dis- tricts. The union leaders would bar progress and efficiency in the industry, and better service to the public, by maintaining a situation where they can arbitrarily stop a railroad from establishing such inter- divisional runs. The carriers propose that if a railroad wishes to set up an inter- divisional run, the railroad and the unions should try to agree on such run and the conditions which should surround its es- tablishment and if the railroad and the unions can't agree, the matter will be sub- mitted to arbitration. But the three union leaders still refuse. Rules Can Be Arbitrated The railroads have not only offered these three unions the same rules agreed to by the BRT and covered by the White House Agreement, but have even agreed to.sub- mit such rules to arbitration. The Industry Pattern Is Fixed With the pattern so firmly established in the railroad industry, it seems fair to sug- gest that the leaders of BLE, BLF&E, and ORC stop their quibbling and take action to make the railroad labor picture 100% complete. Certainly today's eco- nomic and international situation calls for a united front. And certainly no good rea- son has been advanced why these three unions should be preferred over all other railroad employes. We are publishing this and other advertisements to talk to you at first hand about matters which are important everybody. Yes, it certainly seems to be finally about time that the leaders of the three unions stop their delaying tactics-their quibbling. But the leaders of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen, and the Order of Railway Conductors continue to refuse. They continue a course of dillying and dallying. It is definitely time to THE STAR, PORT ST. JOE, 'GULF COUNTY, FLORIDA PAGE FIVE FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1951 tu PMGE ISI THE SF Politicians Seeking To Run Their Show Behind Iron Curtain Taxpayers Should Drop In- difference and Raise Up On Their Hind Legs By RUSSELL KAY My father was a patient man. He would admonish us kids for leaving our roller skates on the front walk, or marbles on the parlor rug where someone was bound to stumble over them, but he seldom lost his temper. It was only when we would lie or try to hide our wrongdoing that he would blow his top. On such oc- casions, he would take stern meas- ures. An attempt to hide or falsify a report card was an offense he would not tolerate. The average citizen and taxpayer is a lot like my father. Patient and long-suffering they will stand for a lot before becoming disturbed enough to put their foot down. Just as indulgent parents are inclined to laugh off childish laxities on the grounds that "boys will be boys", the average citizen watches the pranks of politicians and, while he may not always approve, shrugs his shoulders and says "politics is poli- tics." Because of the apathy and indif- ference of most people today, a lot of public officials, through sharp practice or downright dishonesty, have brought discredit upon them- selves and their administration. Honest mistakes and stupidity have given way to deliberate crooked- ness and cupidity. When an inquisitive press or grand jury uncovers the facts, they bitterly resent such intrusion and seek. ways and means of curbing this interference. Following in the steps of the dictator, they try to hide their misconduct behind secret sessions and closed doors. 'More and more, public officials in all branches of government are seeking to run their show behind an iron curtain by excluding the press from their meetings and giv- ing out only such information they choose to give. They entirely lose sight of the fact that they are public servants, elected by the people or serving un- der those who are. They contend that their actions are their own business and, without any hesita- tion, withhold public information.

JOE, GULF COUNTY, FLORIDA Port St. Joe, Florida FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1951 1 A Better Mousetrap By John Bdlling T WAS ABOUT to doze off into an after dinner coma, when the ad first caught my I futee ieye. There was no S nu fancy display : Fiction about it. In fact, ad u it was in the want lad columns and I only noticed it because it had been set in heavy type. It went somehow like this: HERE IT IS AT LAST! I BEAT A PATH TO OUR DOOR, FOLKS! 'KILLIT' IS GUARANTEED TO KILL RATS AN MICE. DOUBLE YOUR MONEY BACK IF YOU FAIL TO KILL RODENTS AFTER FOLLOWING THE SIMPLE INSTRUCTIONS! There followed a name and, ad- dress, and a request to send one dol- lar for a genuine 'Killit. The thing was guaranteed. What could I lose? I took the paper to the kitchen and showed the ad to Mary. She in- 'sisted that we didn't have any mice or rats, but I said maybe not, but it would be nice to have a guaran- teed mousetrap anyhow. I wadded up a dollar bill and .stuck it in an envelope and addressed it to the Killit people and made a special trip to the post office to mail it. A. ,, ' .----~y I showed the ad to Mary, but she insisted that we didn't have any mice or rats. Later I got to thinking about it. I hoped that Killit would not be a cat-we already had one Scat, and there just isn't room for another one in our two. by four apartment. But then, they couldn't send you a cat by mail, could they? I thought of a buddy of mine, Bill Stout. He was a chronic smoker- you know -the type. The world is ihis ashtray. He had already started- several expensive fires by laying down cigarettes and forgetting where he'd put them. He had-seen an ad in the paper for an ashtray guaranteed to snuff forgotten ciga- rettes. Just the thing for him. He'd ordered the thing, and when.it came in the mail he had found out why it had been guaranteed-it had to be filled with water. How we'd all ,laughed at Bill for being caught by slick advertising, BUT how could a mousetrap be guaranteed .to kill if it didn't do just that? No, I wa' safe enough from the. hilarity of ,our crOWd. I.f I bought a lemon and the story hap-,. peried to leak. ,olst .- should' never hear the. .e.nd of it,. particularly from Bill. I reumeltibef h6ow mad he'd, been when I laughed 'at himt;. But a mousetrap guaranteed to ki4W -there was no- way of getting around it. I tried, to ftigre out what the thing would be like ]asicall; a mousetrap, doesn't appear capable of much change. I mean to say, the thing 4& all know' as a mousetrap is sound, and seems about the only way to go about catching mice short of running after them. That same Sunday night I had dreams about mousetraps. I'm one of those guys who can al- ways remember his dreams with crystal clarity. The mouse- traps I had entertained In my subconscious during the night, while they had seemed pretty "good at the time, were complete washouts in the harsh light of day. Most of them were Rube Goldberg affairs, and none of them would have worked. I began to forget the beastly mousetrap though Mardidn't.Ap- THE STAR, PORT ST.

Figures just released by the state board of health bureau of vital sta- tistics showed more birth certifi- cates filed during September than in any other month in the state's history. September is traditionally a heavy month for births, vital statistics records indicate. During the Sep- tember just past, the number of birth certificates recorded with the agency totaled 7,075, as compared with 6,061 the previous month of August. Of this number, 10 made their debut at the Port St. Joe Mu- nicipal Hospital. The "low" month for birth regis- trations so far this year was April, with 4,922 births recorded. May was next with 5,007 registrations noted. Other birth registrations by months included: January, 6,400; February, 5,340; March, 5,794; June, 5,047; July, 5,428.
