SMITH "Standing Room Only" was what 'greeted late comers to the' Talent Show last Friday night in the eld- mentary school auditorium spon- sored by the Spanish Club of the high school. For a change, the show Opened on schedule time, with B. B. Conklin emceeing. The tap dances of little Elizabeth Brown and Margaret Lois Blount -brought down the house, and the snake dance by Eda Ruth Kilbourn -was an unusual feature of the show. ,Bruce Parker,. the talented blues' singer, was brought 'back for two encores, and Tim Elder, trumpet soloist, playing "When You and I Were Young,'Maggie," was brought back foran encore, playing "Whis- pering."

His talk was made in the high school gymnasium due to the inclement weather, and a large crowd was on hand to hear his words. Warren, who was introduced by Representative George Tapper of this city, said that after his term of office expires he would be a "fugi- tive from public office," adding that "instead of running for future po-, litical office, I will be.running from it. I have achieved the ultimate of my political ambitions," The governor's talk at Wewa was the 63rd of 67 he made in an'effort to bring the "true story of my ad- miniistration to the people of Flor- ida and correct any mnisunderstand- ing created by a few 'foreign-owned' newspapers."

Conducted by the Gulf County Health & Tuberculosis Association, the 1951 Christmas Seal sale, to raise funds for the anti-tuberculosis work of the association during, the coming year, opened Monday 'and will continue until Christmas. "Santa Claus, t he traditional bearer of gifts, is a particularly fit- ting motif for the seal," said Harry Saunders, chairman of the seal sale campaign. "Although we still live a tremendous job ahead of us 'be- fore tuberculosis is under control, the gifts of the American people'in the form of Christmas Seaop.ur- chases through the.years have niade possible great progress against the disease. "Santa Claus on the seal also points up the fact that with the purchase of 'Christmas Seals, each one of us is actually giving our- selves a certain measure of health insurance, for'with Christmas Seals we help finance services which are offered to protect us against the dread disease, tuberculosis." ." Stating that the silirit of unsel- fish giving "has always character- ized the people of Gulf county," Saunders said he was "confident that the Christmas Seal sale will be a success, because the people of our county are- actively behind the tuberculosis association as it works to halt the spread of a disease which kills more people than all other infectious diseases combined." Spinal Mfiti gtis Ffatal for Highland View Girl Janice H. Butt, aged 7, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Butt of High- land View, died' Wednesday night of last week at the Port St. Joe Mu- nicipal Hospital as the result of spinal meningitis.

One of the biggest catches of mul- let ever recorded here in a 24-hour period was brought in between 2 o'clock Thursday afternoon and 7 o'clock Friday morning of last week near the entrance to the canal at Highland View by the Gulf Fish- eries and the Kilbourn Fish Com- pany of this city and the Cook Fish Company of Panama City, which sent two-boats here:for the strike The crews worked throughout the night to bring in the fish. Better than 198,000 pounds of the valuable food fish were hauled in and it is estimated that several thousand pounds more werepicked up by individuals. In fact, the city was flooded with mullet and A. V. Pratt of the Gulf Fisheries reports that a number of enterprising indi- viduals who had garnered two or three hundred pounds of fish en- deavored to sell them back to him. Some of the fish weighed five to six pounds each and practically all were loaded with roe, both red and white. The greater part of the catch went out on refrigerator trucks to four of our neighboring states, Al- abama, Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina, and to Ohio. Wholesaling at from 16c to 19c per pound, the estimated value of the catch was 'between $32,000 and $37,000, according to Mr. Pratt. Re- tailing at from 25c to 30c, the even- tual consumers would pay between $49,000 and $60,000, not'counting the roe, which sells at a consider- ably higher price. Hauls like this are the commer- cial fisherman's dream, but they occur very seldom. ~---K Gene Farris Awarded Medal In Korea Action Word was received here Tuesday by Mr. and Mrs. W. F. Farris of Kenney's 'Mill that their son, Cpl. Ernest Gene Farris, has received the French Croix de Guerre for ser- vices as a forward observer in the capturing of Heairtbreak Hill and Bloody Ridge in Korea. Gene was serving with a French infantry di- vision in the fighting. His parents were under the impression that he was in a rear area at the time. Cpl. Thomas F. Farris, who also served in Korea, writes that he will be present at the Christmas dinner table this year, as he was leaving Japan on November 18 for home after having spent 1950 on Okinawa and 1951 in Korea. The two brothers met while in Korea. ~~r~S~Sa, y` i98b ~!L~\. Work Is Started On First Units of 100 Dwellings for City First Steps Taken By Local Concern To Relieve Pres- ent Housing Shortage Work was started this week on eight dwellings on Woodward Ave- nue between 13th -and 16th Streets by Model Homes, Inc., a recertly- formed local concern headed by Robert Bellows as president, Mrs. W.

An effort had been made \o have Port St. Joe declared a critical de- fense area in order that down pay- ments.would be lower and critical materials would 'be easier to se- cure, but the effort was a failure. The. houses, to be two and three- bedroom affairs, will be built, of a variety of materials--frame con- struction, concrete block, stucco and "brickcrete." All will have oil heat- ing units, electric range, refrigera- tor and hot. water heater.

About '5 o'clock Tuesday after- noon the fire siren again sounded for another fire in the colored sec- tion when two small houses belong- ing to Mr. Sheffield were discovered a'blaze. One was completely de- stroyed and the other damaged to the extent that it will be torn down, as was a third house in the row which caught from the first two.

The new law cancels out the heretofore imposed 20% federal tax on admission to high school athletic games, which should be good news to our local schools, as a 20-cent "take" by Uncle Sam out of every dollar of admissions at times has meant the difference between a profit and a loss on some events. The new .bill also gives a Ibreak to civic organizations that sponsor shows, fairs and other entertain- ment on a non-profit ,basis for char- itable purposes, since the 20% levy is also lifted on admissions of this type.

It's a holiday that has become so typically American that we have forgotten the hardships and the fortitude of the Pilgrims and the real reason for setting aside a day of Thanks- giving. Primarily, our Pilgrim forefathers came to 'America to worship God "each according to the dictates of his own conscience" and to escape re- ligious persecution. Woven into out American way of life, the freedom of worship is one of our "inalienable rights" which cannot be destroyed under our democratic form of government. Founded on religious faith, our republic's standard of living and its production under the free enterprise system is the best in the world.

Our Country "Right or Wrong TAXES COST MORE THAN FOOD You readers of The Star who work for wages have undoubtedly noticed the larger bite taken from your.pay check since November 1 when the new tax levy of your friend (.he ain't ours) Harry .T;uman went into effect. But perhaps what you didn't know is that you are paying more for taxes than you pay for food! Mebbe you don't believe that, but here are some recently compiled figures-and they were compiled before the new tax rate went into ef- fect: In 1940 the nation spent .$17,700,000,000 for food and paid $12,700,000,000 in taxes. Last year, by contrast, the food bill was $52,500,000,- 000 and the tax bill was $57,000,000,000. Your guess is as good as ours as to what it is today and what it will be next year. You don't actually know of all the taxes you pay. Some are paid directly in income, property taxes and similar levies. Others are paid indi- rectly, as in the "case of excise and so-called "luxury" taxes. Others still are hidden in the cost of every service and article you buy-even the bread you eat has-about 20 hidden taxes. in it, although you can't taste 'em. All told, taxes to- day are taking close to a third of your income. Such heavy taxation is undermining the incen- tive to work and take risks; the ability and will- ingness of people to go into business for them- selves; it is eliminating opportunity for the indi- vidual and for business; it causes inflation, with consequent loss of confidence in the value of the dollar; it has burdened the low-income group with a weight of taxation which, up to now, was known only in the days of the greatest despots. Today it is you, the "little man," who must bear the main burden of taxation. You, and you alone, out of your pay check, must pay for the bulk of any new tax increases. Are you, the working people, going to continue to let the government waste your money by the billions, while your take-home pay shrinks and shrinks because of the tax collector? There is only one solution-write to your con- TALENT SHOW (Continued from page 1) Louis Blues." Miss Hazel Burnette, presenting a red-hot tap dance to'the tune of "Waiting for the Robert E.

It' had been previously wet down in- side by the firemen on the other run: Brigman stated that it prob- ably caught from the other fire and had been smouldering for some time. Three motorists were given tick- ets for running across fire hoses during the day. Chief Brigman states that at re- cent fires the ptlblic has been ob- structing, passage of the volunteer firemen in getting to fires and is asking the co-operation of everyone in this matter. "The firemen carry no sirens on their cars." said Brig- man, "and the only way they have of asking for the right-of-way is to bear down on their horns. So when you hear a car coming with the horn sounding steadily, please pull over, as it means the man in the car is a fireman trying to get to the fire."

Meanwhile the gard- ener's more highly evolved mind is visioning stately lilies, gay tulips, gentle pansies or the riotous abun- dance of annuals.'blooming in every hue of the rainbow, for cutting or to adorn the garden. The hardy annuals aren't daunted by frost, and very few are injured by the light freezes that we might have in sunny Florida. Chrysanthemus should be coming into 'bloom. Pinch off all but one bud to stem fbor larger flowers and hold plants to two or three stems. If quantity, not size, is important, leave 'em alone and feed with a quick-acting fertilizer. ST.

Among the most important planks mentioned 'by Warren was an ex- panded road improvement plan; his campaign to remove livestock from the state's highways;- instituting the "taste test" for Florida citrus; the return of pine tree prosperity, and selling Florida as a year 'round tourist attraction. Warren said'the'success of his administration would not have been possible except for the splendid co- operation of the Florida legislature, and commended Representative Tapper for his untiring efforts in assisting to carry out his plans.
