Closed Season On

Fishing Rescinded

Games Commission Cancels Order
But Leaves Waters of Gulf
brr Under Usual Ban

The state game and fresh water
fish commission meeting in Talla-
hassee Monday, rescinded its order
of October 29 setting up a closed
season on fresh water fishing in
Northwest Florida during April and
May, the action being taken at the
behest of sportsmen of this, area
who protested that they had not
been taken into consideration nor
given an opportunity to be heard.
However, the commission left the
traditional two-months closed sea-
son 6n the Dead'Lakes and Lake
Wimico in Gulf county, and Mer-
ritt's Millpond and Ocheesee Pond
in Jackson county.
The commission originally had
ordered all fresh waters west of the
Aucilla River in Jefferson county
closed for the two spring months
because of representations that the
action would improve spawning.
John F. Dequine, chief fisheries
biologist for the commission, did
not go along with this finding, re-
porting that "an overwhelming ma-
jority of fish management special-
ists of the entire nation have con-
cluded that closed seasons on bass,
bluegill, shellcracker and.other Flor-
ida game- fish are not necessary to
insure adequate reproduction or to
prevent overfishing by angling."

County Citizens Empty
PocLets fmr PNo*. Fbnd

Appreciation for the gener-nus rei
sponse of the citizens,of Gulf county
who "turned their hearts and their
pocketbooks inside, out Ito con-
tribute to the success of the 1952
March of Dimes," was expressed
yesterday by Ted Frary, director
of the Gulf county campaign.
"The real gratitude comes from
the polio patients, on whose behalf
I thank you," Frary said. "Part of
your gift helps make provision for
their care; the other part helps fi-
nance research. All of us will share
in the benefits when science finds
the way of preventing polio."
While the campaign was officially
closed January 31, Frary added: "It
is not yet too late to join the fight.
Mail your contribution today to the
March of Dimes, postoffice box,572,

JOHN ,DICKEY SEEKING
SEAT ON COMMISSION

John C. Dickey of Oak Grove who
qualified with Clerk George Core
Thursday of last week, in this is-
sue of The Star announces his can-
didacy for member of the board of
county commissioners from District
5, the seat now held by J. F. Miller.
Dickey, who it0ifarried -and.has
tWo children, has been a resident
of this city for the past seven
years. He feels that one of his best
qualifications for the job is the fact
that he has had a college course in
civil engineering and is a surveyor,
which fits him well for keeping an
eye on road and bridge work in the
county.

mours Fbundation. She states that

,retary of State Boo Gray as canai-
Sdates for senator from the 25th dis-
trict and representative in the leg-
islature from Gulf county.
Ben C. Williams of this city has
the idea that he would like to wear
the state senatorial toga, and was
the last-minute qualifier in the 25th
district'race for which George Tap-
per of this city and Floyd C. Lister
of Wewahitchka had already quali-
fied.
Ben, who states he is "one of the
true sons of the old soil," having
been born in Port St. Joe on May
5, 1914, when this city was in Cal-
houn county (Gulf county was cut
from Calhoun in 1925), told the ed-
itor of The Star thkt "I believe a
man elected to public office should:
h b:the clhice of the people, and the
situation as- ft wa.. if either of the'
c'nididstes 'qualified had. .dropLed
out, the remaining one oitcEd have:
gone in without opposition,: wh hfei
do not believe would be in accord
with our democratic way of life."
Williams, who is married and has
two sons in school, is a member of
the Methodist Church, and is active
in fraternal. organizations, being a
member of the local Masonic lodge
the Gulf Coast'Shrine- Club of Pani
ama City, a member of the InterUi-:
tional Brotherhood of* Electrical
Workers and of the Brotherhood of '
Railway Trainmen.
The other last-minute' qualifier:
was Charles C. Wilson of this city,:
who came out as 'a candidate for
representative in 'the legislafitfer
from Gulf county. Only other, can-
didate seeking this seat is Cecil G,:
Costin Jr., local attorney.
"Uncle" Charlie, as he is known
to all, is a perennial seeker of this
legislative seat and held it from
1944 to 1946 when he defeated the"
incumbent, E. Clay Lewis'Jr.. by a:
vote of 898 to 678. He was'de-"
feated for re-election in 1-946 by''
George Tapper by.a close count of'
947 to 844; in 1948 Tapper-:wag's re-
turned to the legislature' without
opposition, but in the 1950 election t
Wilson again was a candidate and
was defeated by.Tapper by a vote
of 1,369 to.;682..We-have not yet re-
ceived an announcement from Mr.
Wilson and were unable to contact
him before going to press. How-
ever, we anticipate his announce-

Our Country Right or Wrong

LOOK OUT FOR THE 'SISTERS THREE'
The struggle for "the biggest job in the world"
every four years can be compared to a three-
ring circus. But the rumbling we are now hear-
ing in the distance suggests Shakespeare rather
than Ringling. For, coming up is an epic that is
complete with "signs and portents," the clash of
armor, Merlin the Magician, a rash of soliloquies
-even the Three Fates and their bubbling pot,
to symbolize this seething world-and a suspense
no lion-tamer could produce.
Will your friend (he ain't ours) Truman run?
Will Eisenhower run? Could Taft beat Truman
or could Eisenhower? Will Governor Ste-
venson of Illinois get the presidential nod?
Last March your friend (he ain't ours) Tru-
man said he had made up his mind. A couple of
weeks ago he repeated the statement. He said he
would have his name withdrawn from the New
Hampshire ballot-and Monday he said he'd let
it remain. In the meantime, of course, it could


have been unmade and made up again. At the
time of his State of the Union address we would
have said Truman wants no more of the presi.
dency. Recently he told newsmen he wasn't tired
of his job, he considered politics the greatest
game in the world-and loved playing the game.
He also said that he had never been elected to a
job he really wanted until 1948.
Last week Jim Lucas (or maybe it was one of
the Fates) scooped the press of the nation with
a story from the cozy fireside of a retired general
up in the snowy Maine woods, who charged his
messages to Truman from Korea were blocked,
messages which he felt would have prevented
differences with General MacArthur and his sub-
sequent ouster. Assigned to Korea by the presi-
dent for the purpose of keeping him personal)
informed, Major General Frank E. Lowe blames
the Pentagon for the failure of his messages to
get through. And the latest report from this
Temple of Efficiency, following publication of
the Lowe story, is that they're looking for the
messages.
- There has been no comment from the White
House at this writing. But, if there had ever been
the warmth of feeling and mutual admiration be-
tween the president and MacArthur that Lowe
assures existed most anything could hap-
pen including the most complete upheaval
in political convictions, loyalties and affiliations
(and foreign policy) that America has ever seen.

City Clerk Ben Dickens remarked to us Tues-
day, when the matter of governmental crooked-
ness in federal offices and the fact that govern-
ment is trying to take over everything came up:
"It looks like we'd better do something at home
to put the federal government in its place or
we'll be as badly off here as the Russians are."

of veterinarians in that area, cou-

St. Joe Sharks Win
Two and Lose Two

By JACKIE KENNEY
Last Friday the Shark cagers
defeated Altha 40-29, with Hall and
Roberts being high-pointers, and the
Sharkettes chalked up their big-
gest victory of the season, winning
over the Altha six by a 38-18 score,
with Williams and Campbell lead-
ing the scorers.
Apalachicola defeated both the
St. Joe girls and boys in two fast
games here Tuesday night. The
Sharks were beaten 49-37 and the
Sharkettes by a score of 38 to 30.
Williams and Kenney were high-
pointers for the girls and Roberts
and Freeman led the boys, with
Hall taking honors in defensive
ball-playing.
The local 'boys and girls meet
the redhot Wewahitchka cagers
here tonight at Centennial Auditor-
ium. Everyone is urged to turn out
for these games and to patronize
the concession stand, the money
from which is to be used for new
uniforms.

'Babblegabb' Comes
As New War Word

Every war pro luces one or more
new terms, such as "snafu" and
"goobledegook," for instance. The
latest is "babblegabb."
The definition: Babblegabb is the
multiloquence characterized by con-
sumate interfusion of circumlocu-
tion or periphrasis, inscrutability,
Incognizability and other familiar
manifestations of abstruse expati-
ation commonly utilized for pro-
mulgations complementing procrus-
tean determinations by. govern-
mental bodies.
Highly edifying but not as easily
remembered as the definition of
"snafu"-'situation normal, all fouled
up.
