Glenn happily reports the completion of this job and the fact that he is installing an air condi- tioning unit. A new stockroom balcony has been added in the rear, which al- lows for 360 square feet of addi- tional space, on the main floor. The inside of the store has been newly painted in a combination of white and a soft spring blue, with fixtures and trimmings in natural wood. The ladies' ready-to-wear and the shoe departments have been com- pletely changed and enlarged, with full-length mirrors in both depart- ments, and d res'sing rooms. All counters have been rearranged to make all merchandise more acces- sible and giving more aisle space. New and better lighting has been' added to make selection quicker and easier. Glenn regrets the inconvenience caused customers while this work has been in progress and suggests that you come in now for a look. He's got some "Back To Normalcy" specials on page three of this issue. Spend Week-end Here Sgt. and Mrs. James Herring of Camp Polk, Leesville, La., spent the week-end here with Mr. and Mrs. James Greer and Mr. and Mrs. Carl Zimmerman. Move To Pensacola Mr. and Mrs. A. D. Harris this past week-end moved to Pensacola where they will reside in the fu- ture. ------ ----- ----- ---- l n.Mr IN R AN ilDAT EVEN A SPONGE CAN ONLY ABSORB SO MUCH! For almost 15 years The Star has been but $2.00 per year to our subscribers, but now we are compelled to up the subscription rate to $3.00 per year, beginning April 1. Cost of paper, ink, labor (of which we are out of 'at the present), postage, machinery, type and type. metal, and everything else that goes into the production of a. news- paper, including food and clothing for the editor, not to mention the price of haircuts, have, in some instances, more than doubled. Even a sponge can only absorb so much, and The Star finds itself unable to continue' to ab- sorb these continued rises in the cost of everything. We will give our subscribers a break, however, in that we will allow them to pay their subscriptions two years in advance at the present rate of $2.00 per year. No matter if you have just paid up, if you desire to take advantage of this opportunity to save a buck or two, juststep up and lay your money on the line. And, too, if you desire to have your Star come to you by city mail service after this issue, send or bring in your street address, otherwise you will continue to get The Star through your postoffice box. ............4 Senior Class Play Set for March 14 Three-Act Comedy, "Lindy Lou," Is Replete With Laughs, Mys- tery and Romance By JANICE ROBERTS The senior class of Port'.St. Joe high school hopes that each of you will leave the dairk rf tlprclh 141th open on your social calendar, for on that date the clss$ will prei'Ent its annual play, entitled "Lindy Lou," at the high school auditorium at 8 o'clock.

Visitor From Georgia Mrs. R. R. Minus of Port Went- worth, Ga., has been visiting here with her daughter and family, Mr. and Mrs. George Wimberly Jr., for the past ten days. R. FOY SCHEFFE', Jr., candi- date for member of the board of county commissioners from Dis- trict 1, states that he is running for office because he feels that since Gulf county is his home that he should do all in his power to help it grow, and that he can more ably attain that aim by par- ticipating in governmental activi-. ties of the county. Foy, a resi- dent of Port St. Joe since 1939, with exception to time out in the armed service and as a prisoner of war in Germany, is married and has three children, is a mem- ber of the Methodist Church, the American Legion -and the .Ma- sonic order. Landowners of Gulf Will Plant 293,00 Slash Pine Seedlings Ranger Hardy Warns That They Should Be Given Adequate Protection From Fire Over 193,000 slash pine seedlings have been ordered from the Florida Forest Service nurseries at Munson and Olustee by landowners of Gulf county, according to County Ranger H. A. Hrady, and in addition to these, 100,000 were given to land- owners by the International Paper Company. "If you are one of the lucky ones who received your seedlings this year despite the decreased output of the nurseries, you should take mighty good care of them during this dangerous fire season," Hardy said. The majority of the seedlings will 'be in the ground by the middle of March, the ranger added.

Kiwanians View Film On Expert Bait and Fly Casting : Fishin' for Fun," a two-reel sound motion picture starring Ben Hard- esty, U. S. professional all-around bait and fly-casting champion, vas shown to an audience of some 50 * members and guests of the Kiwanis at Hotel St. Joe last week. The film presented a comprehen- sive exhibition in the art of fishing and casting. Hardesty, a plain and 'fancy fisherman who truly labors for love, was described by Ted Hu- sing, who narrated thd film, "as a guy who drops 'enmt in a teacup as far away as you can see it." The champion gave an exciting and dra- matic display of angling for trout, i bass, bonefish, sailfish and tarpon. SFor the salt water enthusiasts, the champ engaged in a battle to the finish with bait-slamming sail- fish off the Florida coast, and for the climax he exhibited a dynamic display of landing a 100-pound tar- pon on light fresh-water tackle in a colorful scene shot in the Shark River jungle country of Florida. Without a gaff and with bait-cast- ing tackle, Hardesty hooked, played and landed a beautiful silver king that battled him for more than an hour.

Our Country &W Right or Wrong PATTERN FOR MURDER Our interest, as conservationists and sportsmen of Gulf county, in the fate of the Granby Dam and the 100 miles of that historic fishing stream, the Colorado River, which the dam has de- stroyed, is not a matter of geography. Whether near or far from that debacle we must view it as a key operation that may well set the pattern for the extension of the Reclamation Bareau's high- handed disregard of congressional directives, to include our own favorite fishing streams here in Florida in its mad rush toward the devastation into which we are about to be launched. For 40 miles below the dam, the Colorado is today a stretch of dried hardheads, with only a trickle of water, according to a story in the March Sports -ifilhi Fishing is gone below, and in the lake above the dam, the water was so soupy last June that a pebble an inch under water was in- visible. No fish can live long there. The same thing may happen on the Apalachi- cola River with completion of the Jim Woodruff and the three other dams in that project, and if it does, our famed Dead Lakes will be nothing but a mudhole, its 80 square miles of the finest fresh water fishing in the United States reduced to practically nothing, leaving a few channels carrying the small flow of the Chipola River, as the height of the lakes is controlled by the flow of the Apalachicola River. This brigandage cannot be countenanced. If Reclamation gets away with this deal, it will spread this disregard of the public's interest to every stream in the country and our fishing will be a thing of the past. No new legislation is required to bring Rec- lamation to heel. Explicit directives from con- gress are adequate, if followed, to protect our streams from wanton destruction. But to date, Reclamation is completely disregarding these di- rectives. That is where we anglers come in thru our congressmen, to let Reclamation know who is the boss. To save our fishing, write the Florida congressional delegation today! 'TISN'T SO! Adnette McClellan, publisher of the Okeecho- bee News (incidentally, Ammon McClellan is also listed in the masthead of the News as pub- lisher), said last week: "We are deeply rooted' in this, our community, and we have cast our lot with you. We believe in this section. This is the best part of a great and growing Florida." The italics are ours, and right now we hasten to correct Adnette, for the best part of Florida is right here in the Florida panhandle, and particu- larly around Port St. Joe. Every time a battleship fires a salvo it costs the taxpayers $24,750. At last we've discovered what the term "financial boom' means! GARDEN NOTES PORT ST.

Allounts Wallace B. Finlay. publisher of the e . I received :h neigh 'ouring comlnlli- Blountstown County Record, against e e i $447.41; ties were: .. : ,, 111. $447.41; Attorney General Richard W.

Hutchi- $44413 county, $444.13. son at Panama City. Finlay asserts that the 1951 po- litical campaign expenditure law had gone far beyond constitutional limits of policing the candidates. and had put a muzzle on the press and the public as well. Ervin argued that the law was a reasonable use of the state's police power to end corruption among candidates. An additional 15 days was given *by Judge Hutchison to file briefs, and an early decision is expected. Probably Only Three In Race for Governor T-he closing date of March 15 for qualifications for governor may bring no new entries, and thus the field will be limited to three bona fide candidates, Dan McCarty and Alto Adams of Fort Pierce and Brai- ley Odham of Sanford. All are out beating the bushes this week as the first sound wagons swung into operation and ads began to appear in the newspapers. A federal jury convicted Bill Hen- drix, Tallahassee Klansman, of sending defamatory matter through the mails. He was sentenced to a year in federal prison on each of three counts and fined $750. The fine was promptly paid- by a by stander and Hendrix was freed on parole for two years. The convic- tion was for a misdemeanor, which does not disqualify Hendrix from making the race for governor. Neither Hendrix nor three or four other announced aspirants for the governorship have as yet paid their qualifyingfe es. ' -------r--~------ Combined School Bands Concert To Be March 4 The date for the concert of the combined Port St. Joe and Wewa- Shitchka school bands has been set for March 4, according to Bandmas- ter Daniel Temkin. The 65 miusi- cians will play some of the music they are preparing for the band fes- tival at Tallahassee in the near fu- ture. The concert, to be held in the St. Joe high school auditorium, will' ' egi! at 8:15'p. m. The fgatt!'e s*olost will be Tim Eider. whose cornet playing is ac- claimed far outside this area. Incidentally, thel.le Wll! 'be a tr' a for the eye as well as the ear, since *both bands will be wearing new uni- forms for the occasion The band members have worked hard to make this an interesting program. Admission will be 50C, ilil-Billy Bands-Legiitimate Expense for Office-Seekers Another crisis in the-pre-electiont campaign has passed with word- from Attorney General Dick Ervin that hill-billy bands are legitimate stage dressing for political speak- ings. Ervin ruled that such a campaign aid was permissible and commented that frequently in his campaign hill-billy music seemed to interest the audience more than his speeches calling attention to the state's need for his services.

THE STAR PUBLISHING COMPANY Phone 51 Port St. Joe, Florida STARDUST and MOONSHINE -w Today's the big day for those of you girls who're looking for a hus- band! This is the best op- portunity you'll have for another four years for today is Feb- ruary 29 and it's leap year! Why they call it "leap year" is more than we know perhaps because eligible men leap from the path of designing females. No satis- factory explanation has ever been offered of the custom for women to woo during leap year. However, in 1288 a law was enacted in Scot- land that "it is statut and ordaint that during the rein of hir maist blessit Megeste, for ilk year kuowne as lepe year, ilk mayden ladye of bothe high and lowe es- tait shall hae liberate to bespeke ye man she likes, albeit he refuses to talk hir to be his lawful wyfe, he shall be mulcted in ye sum of ane pundis or less, as his estait may be; except and awis gif he can make it appeared that he is betrothit ane either woman he then shall be free." There you are, girls! .Go out and git 'em! And notice that mulcted" clause in there! If the guy of your choice, be he "unbe- throthit," refuses to be dragged to the altar for a halter, you can nick him for "ane pundis" (about five bucks) if he's fairly well off-less if he's down somewhere near the pauper class. Bet there'll be a lot of bachelors become tempor- arily "bethrothit" sudden-like. All you eligible bachelors had better take to. the woods for a time, especially the most desirable ones we can think of offhand like George Core, George Tapper, Cecil Costin Jr., Mickey Stone oopss, we almost got Vic Anderson in here-but he's already got a ball and chain), Ar- thur Lupton, Police Officer M. A. Kelly say, come to think of it, there aren't so many unwed hus- bands as one might think, so bet- ter start early, girls, and get the pick of the available crop. . Happy hunting! Look at that handsome picture of Fdy Scheffer Jr., on the front page! Really, though, he does not come up to his billing. When you meet up with him in his cam- paigning for county commissioner, take a look at that double chin he's developing almost in the same class as Ye Ed's. Yeah, and do you remember that picture of bur estimable sheriff, Byrd Parker, we had in the February 1 issue of The Star? That was taken 'way back in '38. .. Somehow or other these candidates don't seem to want people to know how they really look might cause some of the voters to think again We understand that W. B. Fer- rell is temporarily laid up after losing a terrific bout with a sheet of plyboard. Seems Ben was fixing to do a bit of carpentering and while carrying the board across the shop it wangled a toehold or one of his feet and threw him flal on his face. ___---K--- HOME MAIL SERVICE (Continued from page 1) to their homes but that they ar not included in the delivery area.

"City delivery service is a mark of progress for our city, as well as a convenience to the patrons of my office who will receive it," said Chauncey. "Because of city delivery we have had erected very attrac- tice street signs so that we may now tell people where we live rather than directing them to some prominent marker in the city and advising that they turn right or left sent their request to the postal in- spector." Costin went on to say that street collection boxes will not'be installed by tomorrow, as he has not yet re- ceived the posts and locks for the boxes. However, he is advised that the installation of these boxes is not essential to operation of the service and that they will be set there and go so many blocks to the second white house on the left, but if they pass a vacant lot with a cow in it, they're on the wrong street. It has also caused a num- ber of streets to be opened and paved, opening up new areas for development. "We should be grateful to the postoffice officials who saw fit to approve this service for Port St. Joe, and also to Representative Bob Sikes, who has worked for its ap- proval and was instrumental in hav- ing the original survey made."

No more sweet water for them- they liked salt water. No trellises and pampering--they headed for the lands of the rolling sand dunes on the shores of the deep blue sea. Fortunately they are rugged char- acters, whose thick stems store wa- ter and food, and they have a pen- chant for taking root about every six inches of their length. Thus, they creep over the beach, holding tight with roots all the way to a hundred or more feet in length. If something cuts the vine, both ends keep on growing. Alike in most habits, the railroad vine and the goatsfoot vine dress differently. The railroad vine likes white flowers and heart-shaped leaves, while the goatsfoot vine pre- fers purple flowers and leaves shaped like the foot track of a goat. Blowing sand catches on these long vines across the beach and makes small hummocks over them which in turn catch more sand un- til a rolling sand dune takes shape. Next the vines start climbing the dune, twining and twisting over it. until the sand dune must feel like a fly caught in a spider's web. Finally, with the help of a few other plants, such a's sea oats and greenbriar, the sand dune is caught and held as a stationary sandhill. These interesting plants grow all along the coasts of Florida and in this section -may be seen at St. Andrews Park, near Panama City. -------------- St. Joe Sharks Playing In Cage Tourney At Malone The St. Joe Sharks basketball team was in Malone yesterday to participate in the district two class B basketball tournament.
