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. --------------- WARREN TO SPEAK AT WEWAHITCHKA TODAY 'Governor Fuller Warren will be in Wewahitchka today at 6 p. m. on his county-by-county t6ur of the state. He will make his talk in front of the courthouse. Hillbilly music by Toby Dowdy's Dixie Lily -Band will precede the governor's talk. 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. (Continued on page 9) 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 (Continued on page 7) -----Fire Depart Fire Department Lister Is First To File Campaign Statement Floyd C. Lister of Wewahitchka, candidate for the state senate in this district, was the first to file a campaign statement with George Core, clerk of the circuit court. He reported he put $100 of his own money into his campaign fund and has spent $30 for his. qualifying fee and $37.50 for copies of the 1947 and 1949 state house of representa- tives journals. 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.

LETTERS TO SANTA CLAUS 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- lahassee and Pensacola. She should be driving a green DeSoto sedan, California license 4Z-8060, hitched to a dark green "Roll Along" house trailer, license 753-581. He describes his wife as 38, at- tractive, 'blonde, 160 pounds, blue eyes, friendly disposition. She often wears slack or shorts and may not be traveling alone. 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 :November 7 a Pensacola policeman reported seeing a woman fitting her description. Bennett flew to Pensa- cola, carrying pictures of 'his wife, and the policeman identified her picture.

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.)

By MILLARD CALDWELL ,, Federal Civil Defense Administrator', 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. This does not mean that our Air* Force is ineffective.

There are two simple reasons why you save money when you buy an Inter- national pickup truck. 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 truck gives you. For example-the COMFO-VISION CAB is "the roomiest, most comfortable cab on the road." The Silver :-- Diamond engine is an outstanding devel- opment of the world's largest exclusive truck engine plant.

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.

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. ----.---- Din't Worry Don't worry about America's fu- ture.

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 -&-.

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.

JOE, FLORIDA iiiiim iiiiiii 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.

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.
