PORT ST. JOE A Progressive Community With a Modern, Progressive Weekly Newspaper THE THE STAR | Official Paper for Gulf County, Devoted To the Continued Development of the Entire County "Port St. Joe-The Outlet Port for the Apalachicola-Chattahoochee Valley" VOLUME XV FORT ST. JOE, FLORIDA, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 1952 NUMBER 20 Closed Season On Fishing Rescinded Games Commission Cancels Order But Leaves Waters of Gulf brr Under Usual Ban The state game and fresh water fish commission meeting in Talla- hassee Monday, rescinded its order of October 29 setting up a closed season on fresh water fishing in Northwest Florida during April and May, the action being taken at the behest of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, Port St. Joe." -- ------ 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. ------------- Neil Poitevint To Walk Again Mrs. T. 0. Poitevint returned home Sunday night from Wilming- ton, Del., where her small son Neil, who was stricken with polio three weeks ago, has been entered in the Alfred I. duPont Instiute of the Ne- mours Fbundation. She states that the doctors assured her that Neil will .walk again annd that he will receive the. very best attention pos- sible.

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.

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."
