Nimrods Set for


Hunting Season


Prospects Look Good for Best
Season In Years; Wardens
To Enforce Regulations

With their guns cleaned and oiled
and their dogs in the pink of con-
dition, local nimrods are straining
at the leash waiting for opening of
the hunting season next Tuesday.
Reports are that this will be the
best season in years. Deer and tur-
key hunters are promised especi-
ally good prospects, while squirrel,
quail and migratory bird hunters
will have as good or better hunting
than last year.
The state game commission em-
phasizes that wildlife officers will
be more alert than ever this season
to apprehend any violators of the
game laws. "Under the law," the
comrmission-points out, "each hunter
is entitled to his fair share of the
game, and no more. Any sportsman
should be willing to abide by laws
that help conserve game for future
as well as present use. Those who
are not willing are stealing game
that belongs to other people."
Many hunters are killed or seri-
ously injured each year by some-
one's failure to observe rules of the
sport, -and caution should be ob-
served at all times. Hunters should
be particularly sure that they ac-
tually see where and at what they
are shooting.

FISHY NEWS
By THE OFFICE CAT

With the trout running in the
bay and canal, the Izaak Walton
tribe are really having sport. Sun-
day, at the intersection of the Gulf
county canal and' the intracoastal
canal the boats were so thick you
couldn't stir 'em with a stick .
and they were really catching the
speckled trout and a few redfish.
Bream fishing has gone by the
board, what with the influx of the
'trout and low water.
Johnny Adams and a friend came
'back from Panther Swamp with two
5-pound redfish and 57 pounds of
trout, using shrimp for bait.
Lieut. Russell Grant of Tyndall
Field was displaying a nice string
of speckled trout caught at the
Highland View canal bridge.
Kenneth Brodnax told us of 18
choice redfish he caught Thursday
night of last week at the oil dock
with shrimp and cut bait.

Campaigning Ain't


Gonna Be What It


Wuz In Years Past


Clerk George Core Says It Is
Important That Law Be
Complied With

George Core, clerk of the circuit
court, requests everyone who in-
tends to announce for public office
in the spring primary to be,sure to
come to his office in the courthouse
at Wewahitchka and fill out the
necessary papers, because it is very
important that they comply with
the new election law.
There was a day when an aspir-
ing politician had only to pay his
qualifying fee and launch an inten-
sive campaign of 'baby-kissing, fish
fry attendance and handshaking.
Now, with the new Florida election
law in force, it's an entirely differ-
ent story.
First, upon his announcement or
qualification, the office-seeker must
execute an "Oath of Candidate."
This 'binds him to his political
party and asserts he is qualified
for the race. Further, it must list
the names and addresses of his
campaign treasurer a nd deputies
and the name and address of his
campaign depository, which may be
any bank authorized under state
laws to transact business in Florida.
Next, the candidate must execute
a "Loyalty Oath," affirming his sup-
port of the Constitution of the
United States and his rejection of
communistic doctrine.
Then, before he gets into that
part of the pre-election vote solici-
tation requiring money, he must (or
his campaign treasurer must) make
out a "Campaign Deposit Slip" list-
ing the names and addresses of all
contributors to the aspirant and the
amount each gave. This is used in

Floyd C. Lister of Wewahitchka,

He reported he put $100 of his

AACS Observing


13th Anniversary


'Loran' Detachment Located
At Cape San Bias Part of
of Worldwide Network

A lot of people in Port St. Joe,
including the editor of The Star,
have become acquainted with the
men who are stationed at Cape San
Blas as a detachment of the Air-
ways and Air Communications Ser-
vice (boy, that's a mouthful), but
very few of us know exactly what
they are doing down there on the
sandspit south of this city nor ex-
actly what the AAGS is.
Yesterday marked the 13th anni-
versary of AACS, and Major Earl J.
Kovara, commander of the outfit,
has gathered some information that
The Star is passing on to you, our
readers.:
The 1858-2 AAOS detachment at
Cape San Blas is one of two detach-
ments assigned to the 1858th AACS
Loran Squadron at Kessler Air
Force Base, Mississippi, and is one
of several such detachments in the
area, forming a chain.
This "chain" is actually a navi-
gational facility for use by both sur-
face ships and aircraft, but since it
is a United States Air Forces oper-
ation, its primary purpose is to pro-
vide an accurate navigational aid
to planes of the air force. During
hurricane season, this facility is
used to track and position any dis-


T turbance by reports sent in by air-
Makes Three RuS craft assigned to follow it.
The operation and maintenance of


Blazes Caused By Exploding Kero-
sense Stove, Flooded Oil
Heater and Backfire

The St. Joe fire department was
called to Highland View Thursday
morning of last week when one of
the W. C. Forehand cottages occu-
pied by Mr. and Mrs. "Red" Woods
caught fire when a kerosene stove
exploded. Mrs. Wood's had gone to
the home of her next-door neighbor,
leaving the stove lighted. The fam-
ily lost all their possessions.
Fire Chief Durel Brigman stated
that less damage would have been
done had residents of Highland
View co-operated better in carrying
water to the fire truck, there being
no fire plugs in the community. He
ures better co-o nneration if ron-.


the electronic equipment is-.very
complex because accuracy of two
millionths of a second is required.
Comparing this to an ordinary
watch, it would mean it could only
gain or lose one second in six years.

BRUCE STEVENS of Tampa, an-

governor of Florida. Sez he: "In
announcing my candidacy, I do
so conscientiously, sincerely, and

Californian Looking for
Missing Wife in This Area

A California man who followed
the trail of his missing wife across
the U. S. is searching for her in
this section of Florida and has of-
fered a $100 reward to the person
who can help him contact her. The
reward is on deposit with the Flor-
ida Highway Patrol, which is co-
operating with the husband.
The man is A. H. Bennett and he
said that his bride of nine months
is possibly somewhere between Tal-

He describes his wife as 38, at-
tractive, 'blonde, 160 pounds, blue

wears slack or shorts and may not

Bennett asks that anyone know-
ing the missing woman's where-
a'bouts phone him immediately, col-
lect, at Tallahassee 2 4260. "Do not
inform her, in any way," he urged,
stating that his wife is mentally
unwell.
Bennett said his wife drove off
from Los Angeles on August 28,
taking their car, trailer and $1000
in cash, leaving him homeless and
an unwilling bachelor.
Following tips, he traced her to
Little Rock, Ark., in October. The
trail got cold again, and then on

reported seeing a woman fitting her

and the policeman identified her

Our Country Right or Wrong

CLOCK WRONG, BUT NOBODY CARES
(Reprinted from the Wakulla County News),
A couple of weeks past we mentioned that Wa-
kulla county was the only county, perhaps in the
world, where the courthouse clock was always
wrong and nobody gave a whoop.
One man called. our hand-as he felt that it
was intended as a slap at the county. Brother,
we are, in our own way, bragging. We, now that
we have become accustomed to it, are plumb
hog-wild about this complete disregard for time
that is so evident here. It is unusual and we love
it.
A perfect example of this was demonstrated
just this week when a visiting friend of ours
looked up at the courthouse clock. Said clock


quietly stated it to be 12:05. The guy said, "Gosh,
I didn't know it was that late." We told him
not to pay any attention to that, as it was possibly
only about ten-thirty. But the guy, being a slave
to time, just had to know what time it was. We
took him into Strickland's Grocery, and the clock
there, which hasn't run for many years, was at 4
o'clock. This didn't help a bit, and so we checked
in and looked at the one on the wall in Moore's
barber shop. Albert explained that the current
had been off for a couple ofhours during the
night and he had set the clock by guess, but it
was "about right."
The poor guy, being a slave to clocks and hav-
ing to know what time it was, finally cut his visit
short. Us, shux, who cares, we have learned that
time is something to use in order to live, go fish-
ing, or just mess around and relax, and we have
learned that time is not something controlled or
governed by a fool clock. And we, for one, do
not want that IBM clock on the courthouse fixed.
We like it just the way it is-never right.
Bet the IBM people's faces ,4ould be red if
they knew that one of their clocks was satisfac-
tory because it was always wrong.


People who want everything "guaranteed" in
this world have to take the surrender of freedom
that goes with it. The only organization that can
"guarantee" is the government, and the only way
the government can guarantee is to put us all in
a virtual chaingang and divide the potatoes we
raise.-Neligh (Nebr.) Leader.

Another problem faced by the military is how
to get a plane off the assembly line before it be-
comes obsolete.-Jluncau (Alaska) Empire.

U. S. Must Build Civil Defense

General Hoyt Vandenberg, Chief of Staff of the
United States Air Force, has made a startling state-
ment one which most Americans find hard to
believe. He had said that at best we could knock
down only 30 out of every 100 enemy planes attacking the
United States. That means that at least 7 out of 10 would
get through. Despite our traditional attitude that "it can't
happen here," we must believe these facts.

There are two simple reasons why you
save money when you buy an Inter-

First, you get lower operating and
maintenance costs.You get a pickup truck
that is engineered throughout to do more
work for less money.
Second, you get longer truck life. Even
the smallest International pickup truck
has the traditional stamina that has kept
Internationals first in heavy-duty truck
sales for 19 straight years.
You get these all-truck savings right


along with features that no other pickup

Engineers Not Yet Ready
To Go Ahead With Bay
Improvement at Apalach

A project recommended by army
engineers for Apalachicola Bay has
not yet been accepted as feasible
'by the board of engineers for rivers
and harbors, according to wor4 re-
ceived from Washiogton this week.
The project recommended by the
division engineer provides for, a
channel 10 feet deep and 100 feet
,wide in Apalachicola Bay across St.
George Island to within 300 feet of
the Gulf shore, thence increasing in
width to 200 feet at the shore and
continuing with this width to the
Gulf, and for two rubble-mound jet-
ties, each about 740 feet long, to
stabilize the channel, all at an esti-
mated federal first cost of $228,700,
with $15,000 annually thereafter for
maintenance in addition to that.
now authorized.
It is the belief that the improved
channel would not at this time be
used to the extent estimated by
the division engineer.
A hearing will be held in Wash-
ington by the board of engineers on
December 10 to allow all parties in-
terested in the project to submit
statements and arguments bearing
on the need for the justification of
the government undertaking the im-
provement recommended by the di-
vision engineer.

STATE'S SEMINOLES
GET FREE CAR TAGS
The Florida cabinet, following a
long- established custom, Tuesday
voted to give some 175 free auto-
mobile license tags to the state's
Seminole Indians. The tags bear
the words "Seminole Indian."
Governor Wanren remarked, "Do
you suppose as a condition to re-
ceiving free tags we could negoti-
ate a peace treaty with them?"'
The Seminoles technically are still
at war with the United States, as
they never have signed a peace
treaty even though Florida's Indian
Wars ended more than a century
ago.

GIRL SCOUT NOTES
Girl Scout Troop 2 met Tuesday
at the Scout Hut, at which time
Girl Scout equipment .catalogs were
given to each girl. On Friday all
the girls are to meet at the home

The scouts are to do a community

State Now Traversed-

By Diagonal Route


Road Board Announces Approval
For First Federally-Numbered
Highway On the Bias

Something new in the field of
highway development came to pass
for Florida yesterday as Alfred Mc-
Kethan, road board chairman, an-
nounced approval of the first fed-
erally-nun~bered route to traverse
the peninsula diagonally.
McKethan said the route number-
ing committee of the American As-
sociation of State Highway Officials
has agreed to the extension of High-
way 98, which passes through Port
St. Joe, from its present eastern
terminus at Apalachicela to West
Palm Beach by way of Newport,
Perry, Cross City, Brooksville, Lake-
land, Frostproof, Okeechobee and
Canal Point.
The new route will be designated
on the 1952 state highway maps to
be released for publication in De-
cember. For the present, the new
through high ay will 'be routed
through Tallahassee and down the
peninsula because the .Perry-New-
port cat-off is still under construc-
tion. The Okeechdbee-West Palm
Beach leg of the route will also be
designated as temporary on the '52
maps because the relocation of the


road there, via Indiantown in Martin
county, is projected.
"We deem this new development
a great stride in highway progress
in Florida," said McKethan. "While
Highway 98 extended is the first-
federal diagonal route obtained for
the state, it follows a policy the
state road department established
several years ago of designating
diagonal state routes as short cuts
to save driving time and distance
for motorists."
Highway 98 extended will travel
common with US 19 south from
Tallahassee to Chassahowitzka, in
Citrus county, State Road 700 from
there to Bartow in Polk county, US
17 south to Fort Meade and east
from there to Frostproof to recon-
nect with State Road 700 to West
Palm Beach.
Original US 98 connects up Ap-
alachicola and Pensacola. It was


completed within the last,20 years
and opened up the north Gulf coast
for. development.

Terrifying Robot-Debuts

In "Other World" Story

One-Man Army-Police Force That
Patrols the Universe To Keep
Peace Among Planets

Meet "Gort," the terrifying giant
robot who roams at will in "The
Day the Earth Stood Still," exciting
science-fiction thriller now playing
at the Port Theater.
"Gort" is supposed to be a one-
man army-police force that patrols
the universe to maintain peace
among the planets.
In "The Day the Earth Stood
Still," the robot accompanies space
visitor Michael Rennie as his ser-
vant-bodyguard in their travels to
Earth where together they threaten
the war-torn planet with destruc-
tion.
"Gort," the product of a planet
5000 years more advanced than the
Earth, is neither animal, vegetable
or mineral. He is almost nine feet
tall, has a 10-inch Cyclops eye, s
impervious to gunfire and boats
impregnable strength.
He walks like a man and appears
to think and act with human i telli-
gence, although he doesn't talk.
With his powerful electronic eye he
can disintegrate guns, mel tanks
and heavy weapons and A dissolve
human flesh. He can reIv'e men
from the dead, knock down brick
walls and has a fluid nletal skin
which cannot 'be pierced by any
known weapon. '
It's a "must" picture.1

CAMPAIGNING AIN'T

(Continued from page 1)
depositing funds with the listed
campaign depository. It is made out
in triplicate.
Now, the candidate can spend no
money except through a three-sec-
tion draft on his depository. The
form (of which The Star has a
copy) includes an order authorizing
a campaign" expenditure, giving the
amount and its purpose, signed by
the campaign treasurer or candi-
date; a certificate to be signed 'by
the claimant of the expenditure
showing the service performed, and
finally the order for payment, also
signed 'by the treasurer or candi-
date and directed to the depository.
The entire sheet must be presented
to the depository by the claimant
in order to obtain his money. No
services may be paid for in cash.
As a sort of double check on the
candidate's purity, he also is re-
quired to make pre-election reports
to the clerk of the circuit court not
later than the first Monday of each
month preceding the election, after
he has announced or qualified. This
is a sort of balance sheet compiled
from the candidate's copies of his
deposits and payments. It must list
the names and addresses of all
persons paid any money and the
amount and purpose of the expendi-


ture, also the names and addresses
of all contributors, together with
the amount of their donations. Both
the candidate and campaign treas-
urer must sign it.
Only one rule has been retired-
there is no longer any limit to the
amount of money a candidate may
spend in his race, but he must now
make sure he knows where all of it
comes from and where all of it
goes and make three copies of
everything.
The candidate may spend his di-
nero for employing clerical help,
sending out campaign literature,
traveling, qualifying fees, printing,
stationery, office rent, preparation
of lists of voters, newspaper or
other forms of advertising and gen-
erally the normal expenses of any
political race.
One "don't" forbids candidates
paying for the privilege of address-
ing a club or organization.
Now, if anyone still wants to run
for public office, with all the trip-
licate forms to be filled out and
bookkeeping to be done, just go up
to Wewa and get in a huddle with
Clerk George Core.

Cost of Accidents
Accidents cost the nation a mini-
mum of $7,500,000,000 in 1949. That
figures out at $14,000 a minute
around the clock.

Circus attendants say that the
polar bear suffers less from extreme
heat than do the cat animals-
tigers, leopards, and lions.

Florida Shrub Called
'Vegetable Porcupine'

Needlepalm Is Rated As One of
Florida's Most Beauti-
ful Shrubs
By CAROL H. BECK
Botanist, Florida Park Service
It is scandalous to call the needle-
palm, one of Florida's most beauti-
ful shrubs, a "vegetable porcupine."
But the needlepalm's short and
stubby stem, which rises out of the
ground for only a few feet, re-
sembles a large porcupine, and it is
so covered with long needles that
even a mockingbird could not find
a resting place on it.
Since its stem grows'only a foot
or two above the ground, the bot-
tom leaves arch to touch the ground
while those in the center of the
plant are upright, making a beauti-
ful dome-shaped plant about 10 feet
high.
The large fan leaves of the
needlepalm blend the daintiness of
a fern with the tropical luxuriance
of a palm, for they are cut com-
pletely to the base, deep green on
the top, silvery on the underside.
The needlepalm loves the deep
shade of other trees and does its
best under their protecting limbs.
Not only is the appearance of the
needlepalm's stem something like
a porcupine, but also it has one
animalistic habit rarely found in
plants. The good animal mother
hides her babies, but the good plant
mother usually scatters them as far
as she is able to do so. The needle-
palm, like an animal mother, hides
her small black flowers in that nest
of needles. When the bright red
seeds are ripe, they too stay hidden
there, and only squirrels, with the
highest I Q can figure out a way to
get these seeds, which often rot in
their bed of needles.
Since the seeds so often rot, the
plant must find another way to re-
produce and does. It resorts to the
familiar plant trick of sending out
underground etems to start new
plants in new locations.
The needlepalm can be observed
at Florida Caverns State Park, near
Marianna; Torreya State Park, near
Bristol; in the ravine of Gold Head
Branch State Park, near Keystone
Heights, and in Highlands Ham-
mock State Park, near Sebring.

"That fact is the quality of Kaiser

Altp Adams Tosses Hat
Into Political Arena

Alto Adams, as predicted, has
entered the race for governor, and
Wednesday, in four brief sentences,
announced his candidacy.
'The former supreme court justice
from Ft. Pierce said: "As of this
day I am a candidate for governor.
Flagrant disregard for morality and
reckless waste of public funds have
led me to this decision. We need a
revival of common-sense leadership.
I am prepared to supply that leader-
ship."
Short, concise and to the point-
probably one of the shortest politi-
cal announcements ever made.

Our Country Is Safe
Yes, chilluns, our country is safe
so long as Senator A may make
faces at Senator B, Senator C stick
his tongue out at Senator D, Sena-
tor E push Senator F and Senator
F push back. Our only danger is
they might enact some legislation.

Certification Number

Is Best Assurance of

Clean; Healthy Oysters

Health Board Urges Buyers To Pat-
ronize Reputable Dealers and
Look for Number On Can

The housewife's best assurance
of clean, healthy oysters is the cer-
tification number on the original
container, says the. state board of
health.
Certification numbers are assigned
to oyster produces who comply
with state regulations regarding the
harvesting and handling of oysters
from the beds in which they grow
to final delivery to the consumer.
Certified oyster house in Gulf and
Franklin county, .as listed by the
state health board, are. as follows:
,Port St. Joe-Indian Pass Sea-
foods.
*Carra'belle-Monroe Taylor Sea-
foods.
Apalachicola Bragdon McNeill
Seafoods, United Seafoods, Polous
Seafoods, J. O. Anderson, Franklin
Fish & Oyster Co., Thompson-Grif-
fin Seafoods, Horton Seafood Ser-
vice, Miller Fish & Oyster Co., Kir-
vin Brothers Seafoods.
Eastpoint-M. C. Goodson Sea-
foods Co., A. L. Tucker, Joe Barber,
Smith's Oyster House, Moore Sea-
foods, C. E. Miller & Sons, Daniel
Brothers Seafoods, H. Jones & Son
'Seafood Co.
"In spite of state laws designed
to assure a safe, clean product,"
says George W. Gehres, shellfish
sanitariam with the state board,
"we still have a few. illegal opera-
tors who are 'bootlegging' shellfish.
This 'bootleg' product is potentially
dangerous, for such shellfish are
generally taken from beds in which
pollution exists. Some types of pol-
lution can produce serious illnesses.
"The housewife who patronizes a
reputable dealer and who looks for
the certification number on the or-
iginal can or container can have as-
surance that she is' buying safe
seafood:"
Florida oysters, said Gehres, com-
pare favorably in taste, appearance
and nutritional value with oysters
produced anywhere in the world.
"They are a good addition, to the
family diet, but they can be danger-
ous, like any other food product if
taken from unsanitary growing
areas or subjected to careless or
improper handling methods."
Oysters and other shellfish are
produced at 26 cities and communi-
ties about the state, with the center
of operations located at Apalachi-
cola. In our neighboring city, the
state board of health works in co-
operation with the state board of
conservation in a project designed
to improve Florida's oyster culture
and production.
