PORT ST. JOE A Progressive Community With a Modern, Progressive S Weekly Newspaper THE STAR "Port St. Joe -The Outlet Port for the Apalachicola-Chattahoochee Valley" THE STAR Official Paper for Gulf County, Devoted To the Continued Development of the Entire :County VOLUME XV 1-ORT ST. JOE, FLORIDA, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 1951 NUMBER 7 Two-Month Closed Season On Fishing In Third District Ruling Announced By State Game Commission After Request By Sportsmen Fresh waters of the entire third conservation district in Northwest Florida will be closed during the months of. April and May, accord- ing to an announcement by the state game and fresh water com- mission. The ruling was made last week after George Core of Wewahitchka and Guy Little of Wakulla told the commissioners that many sports- men were in favor of closing the waters in the Apalachicola River valley counties-Gulf, Bay, Liberty, Calhoun, Franklin and Wakulla- during the spawning period of the game fish. John F. Dequine, chief fish biolo- gist of the game commission, said there was nothing to substantiate a closed fishing season in Florida. as it had no practical use. He said tests have shown that waters open the year 'round offer better fishing. He added, though, that there was a .psychological valpe in a closed season in that anglers would think there were bigger and more fish in these areas after the season was opened again. Acting on this psychological value, and complying with the wishes of the sportsmen in the 3rd district, the .commission agreed to stop all fishing in the northwestern counties (of the state during 'itose' two months. For the past several years the only closed areas were Lake Wim- ico and the Dead Lakes. Cub Scouts Stage Hot Rod Races and Skating Show Despite the cold weather a con- siderable number of spectators were on hand Wednesday afternoon for the second annual Cub Scout hot rod races and skating event spon- sored by the Kiwanis Club and staged on Palm Boulevard back of the elementary school. Winners in the rot rod races, in which there were 20 entries, were H. Spaulding, driver, Billy Mazarol, pusher; Cecil Lyons, driver, Glenn Alligood, pusher; Tom M. Watts, driver, Billy Simmons, pusher. Winners in the skating contest were Jackie Mitchel, first, and Hig- don Swatts, second. SHARKS TAKE BLOUNTSTOWN FOR SECOND WIN OF SEASON The St. Joe Sharks chalked up their second win of the season Mon- day night at Blountstown when they defeated the Calhounians 7-6 in a game that was postponed from Fri- day night due to rain. Both teams made their counters in the first quarter, but Blountstown failed in the try for extra point. The Sharks scored on a long pass play, with the extra point coming on a pass. Neither team could score during the remainder of the game. The Sharks are scheduled to meet Graceville here tonight, and will go to Bonifay next Friday night. --- ----- ROTARIANS HEAR FORESTER J. Edwin Moore of the Florida Board of Forestry was the guest speaker at the meeting of the St. Joe Kiwanis Club Thursday noon of last week.

Our Country i Right or Wrong THE VICTIMS NEED "CARE" If the family next door were burned out of their home by fire, neighbors would rush to help -to offer whatever was needed. It is hard to realize the effects of a fire when the flames are 10,000 miles away. In South Korea millions of helpless civilians-many of them chil- dren-have suffered the conflagrations of war. Homes have been destroyed, all possessions lost, normal means of livelihood wiped out. At least 5,000,000 persons are homeless refugees. The various governments have pledged supplies to United Nations relief pools, but supplemental, individual aid is still necessary to meet the des- perate need for clothing, blankets and food. The Port St. Joe Junior and Senior Women's Clubs, in conjunction with the General Federa- tion of Women's Clubs, are sponsoring a Thanks- giving-season campaign to send CARE food and textile packages from Americans to Korean war THE STAR, PORT ST.

MARY KATE RUSS, Complainant, BUILD FREEDOM WITH YOUTH The "Build Freedom With Youth" program sponsored by the General Federation of Wo- men's Clubs and in which the Port St. Joe Wo- man's Club is joining, emphasizes sharing the responsibilities of American citizenship while en- joying its privileges. Only one thing is supremely important now, and that is to build together a new kind of world. It is this "togetherness" that is so important in this project, the fact that our young people are working together to promote some project of welfare for their communities in co-operation with members of the women's clubs and other civic organizations. It has been the community improvement as- sociations that has helped Port St. Joe and all small communities to promote and maintain li- braries, playgrounds with supervised recreational facilities and many other projects that pertain to the advancement of abundant living. But now what is sought is an over-all picture of the com- munity to determine its needs and to develop projects that will meet those needs. G. K.

Now it rests in dig- nified quiet at Torreya State Park, located 13 miles northeast of Bris- tol, but two and a half centuries ago, its launching must have com- pared in importance to that of some great ocean liner of today. Students who go to the Torreya park today have reconstructed the scene in the long ago when this great dugout was launched by a group of Indians encamped at the mouth of a small clear stream emptying into the board turbid Ap- alachicola. Undoubtedly, they say, great ex- Scitement accompanied the launch- ing, for it was a noble vehicle, hol- lowed out of a giant cypress log by fire and keen-edged stone tools, a log that had taken the combined strength and skill of a tribe to hew down and snake out of the nearby swamps. The Indians have long gone, but the evidence is unmistakable that this canoe became the means by which Indians for many genera- tions were carried back and forth across t he Apalachicola River, there where it sweeps toward the Gulf of Mexico between high banks. Then the white man came. and the canoe disappeared from its route, and for more than a hundred years it lay hidden. In June of 1936 a foreman of the CCC camp at Torreya State Park was crossing the ferry from Bristol to Blountstown and detected what appeared to be a hollowed-out log on a sandy bank. A closer exami- nation disclosed that it was a ca- noe, a dugout canoe in good state of preservation. It was carefully excavated out of the sand and mud and taken to the park. where it can be seen today as an object of historic interest and the subject of much conjecture. The canoe is 23 feet in length, 2 feet wide and 12 inches deep from top to bottom. One end is flattened into a platform, evidently for the steersman to stand on. Scientists calculate it was used as a ferry ca- noe more than 250 years ago. New Elections Laws Bringing On Talk Minor Candidates By-Passing Rules With Assertion No One Will Enforce It The political ferment at Talla- hassee bubbled only slightly this week, chiefly on what the new po- litical contribution law means or can do. Brailey Odham of Sanford, offi- cially announced candidate for gov- ernor, blasted potential opponents who, he said, have set up headquar- ters and are beating the bushes but won't comply with the law. Minor candidates for governor brushed off the campaign law, saying no one would enforce it. Secretary of State Bob Gray and Attorney General Dick Ervin have tried manfully to bring public un- derstanding of the law's quirks, but both seem to agree that en- forcement of the law is in someone else's hands. Newspapers and radio stations meantime were advised that the new law does not prevent indi- viduals from sponsoring and pay- ing for advertising on behalf of candidates, so long as the sponsor is known and he acts in good faith independently of the candidate.
