JOE, FLORIDA FRIDAY, MARCH 7, 1952 NUMBERR 24 VOLUME:XVNUM Kinks Are Being Ironed From City Mail Delivery Delays Caused By Lack of Proper Addresses, House Numbers, Receptacles City mail delivery got underway last Saturday in Port St. Joe, and from what Chauncey Costin, act- ing postmaster, tells us, it looks .as though eventually most everyone in town will get on the bandwagon. Cecil Conger, via bike, is deliver- ing the mail in the business district from First to Fifth Street, and in the entire residential section south of Fifth Street to and including Oak Grove. John Williams- is in charge of parcel post delivery in the city and also delivers mail to the col- ored quarters.... "We have been swamped since the service started Saturday," said Postmaster Costin.. "Frankly, I be- lieve it has gone over as well as could be expected under the cir- cumstances, and. I do believe that in the next week. or 'so all the wrinkles will be ironed out. "The biggest problem we have in the office is a lack of street ad- dresses. Seventy per cent of the mail that goqs out by carrier has to be checked against list and the street address put on 'the letter. .lhis takes about five-times as long, as it would if tlhe A t a dd-less were already,.u--it. I cannot urge patrons too,,strongly to request that their street address be used by their corresponednts. "The second problem we have is a lack of house numbers and mail receptacles. Numerous patrons have requested their mail to be delivered and when the carrier gets to their house there is no number or mail receptacle. This has resulted in con- siderable mail having to be brought back to the office. "As soon as these two conditions are corrected, I can assure patrons that their mail will reach them at a much earlier hour." A lot of people, including the ed- itor, were jolted the past week as letters for city delivery were put back in their boxes marked "insuf- ficient postage." Chauncey explains this by saying: "The postage rate (Continued on Page .2) Heart Attack Fatal To William Gallion William Gallion, 73, of Cham- pagne, Ill., died Wednesday night at the Port St. Joe Municipal Hos- pital as the result of a heart attack suffered February 23 at the home of -Mr. and Mrs. Jack Croxton of White City.

RALPH SWATTS If laughter causes one to grow fat, there should be a lot of fat people in this city following the "Womanless Wedding'" presented Thursday night of last week in the Centennial Auditorium by the Wo- man's Society of Christian Service and the Men's Fellowship Club of the Methodist Church. It was truly a hilarious affair! And from the standpoint of fi- nances, the wedding was definitely a success. Mrs. H. C. Brown, W.: S. C. S. treasurer, reports that after all expenses had been paid, $408.55 had been, cleared, which will be applied on chalint ui ri.Li e for the church." , The evening began with a splen- did program of hillbilly music by John Dickey's string band. Then, before the wedding started, Burnice Pratt and C. W. Long, dressed as a middle-aged woinan with her little girl, created a furore when they, with their basket of food and bottle of water; joined the audience as spectators. Eating and drinking and chatting, they settled first in opal nla and then another. until CANDIDATE ? ? GLENN R.

Humble Company Gets River Bottom Leases In County Also in Other West Florida Counties; Must Drill Within Two and One-Half Years At the first state auction of oil leases on West Florida land since oil was discovered near the border in Alabama, held Tuesday in Tal- lahassee, the Humble Oil Company bought the right to explore river bottoms and tributaries west of the Apalachicola River, paying $32,000 ifor the privilege, which was $7000 more than was offered by the Com- monwealth Oil Company of Miami which holds leases on about 900,000 acres of offshore water bottoms in the Gulf. The leases are in four blocks. One involves 22,563 acres in Gulf, Cal- houn and Jackson counties. Others are- for 11,407 acres in Okaloosa, Walton, Holmes, Washington, Bay and Jackson counties; 21,388 acres in Escambia, Santa Roa,"lOkakl6bsa and Walton counties, and 3,812 acres in Gulf, Jackson, Washington, Bay and Calhoin counties. The 10-year leases call for an an- nual rental of 10c an acre, with an automatic increase of 5% every year after the second. In addition, the state will receive one-eighth of any oil produced on the leased river bottoms.

State Court Cuts Alday'sSentence To ManslaUghter Slayer of Mose Hill Was Con- victed of First Degree Murder By Jury The state-supreme court Tuesday reduced the first degree murder conviction of Enianuel Alday, who on May 10, 1950, was arrested for the slaying of Mose Hill, deputy sheriff, to manslaughter on grounds that Hill entered the Alday home without a warrant, and directed the Gulf county circuit court to' find Alday guilty of manslaughter. Justices R. H. Chapman and B. K. Roberts dissented from the major- ity opinion, written by Justice Ter- rell, stating they were "unable to find in the record any extenuating circumstances calculated to justify this brutal murder." * Hill was killed when he went to a shack at Highland View occupied by Alday and his housekeeper, Mrs. Kizzie Pelts, being called by Mrs Walter Armstrong, daughter of Mrs. Pelts, who told Hill that Alday was drunk and was beating her mother. Alday used a rusty rifle barrel as a weapon, beating Hill to his knees first, and then raining more blows on his head with the weapon. Mem- bers -of a Florida Power. Corpora- 't'on line c rew., 'rociking. iear.by,-fi- nally subdued Alday, who had been: shot through the chest by Hill from his supine position, and both men were rushed to the Port St. Joe Municipal Hospital where Hill died that evening. Justice Terrell, in his opinion, said that the record showed that Alday and his housekeeper were in- toxicated but there was no indica- tion that they were disturbing the peace. "Nor is there a suggestion that they were guilty of any crime that would have authorized Hill to enter the home without a warrant of authority to do so," Terrell said. "A mission to check on a pair of drunks is not so urgent as to re- lieve a deputy sheriff from arming himself with a warrant when he proceeds to one's home to make an arrest." Chief Justice H. L. Sebring and Justices Thomas, Mathews and Hob- son concurred in Terrell's opinion. ---------S----- Infant Daughter of Mr. and Mrs. H.

"No vehicle we have ever seen can give our drivers more freedom in city traffic than our Dodge 1-ton truck. With our new Dodge, the payload is high. the cost per mile low." ' bigger payloads S. 1ANT to know why you can carry more pay- Sload with Dodge "Job-Rated" trucks? First, they've got better weight distribution. This means that bigger payload capacity is engi- neered into a Dodge "Job-Rated" truck. Many trucks carry too much weight on the rear axle, not enough on the front. But in a Dodge truck, the right proportion of the load is carried on each axle. Besides this better weight distribution, a shorter wheelbase provides easier turning, easier park- ing. Come in and try one of these payload-packin', easier-handling trucks for yourself. Get all the facts about hauling bigger payloads. Carry more! In Dodge "Job-Rated" trucks, the engine is placed forward and the front axle back -for better distribution of the load. You can carry bigger payloads-without overloading. Haul faster! Dodge "Job-Rated" trucks are powered by high-compression engines to give you top performance with rock-bottom economy. Big power gives you pull and speed that save time. Get longer life! There's a Dodge truck that's "Job-Rated" to fit your road and load condition -with load-carrying and load-moving units fac- tory-engineered to stand up on toughest service. ee_ Wb /oy Ao r /de 6es/ y /owa-cos roni- otan...

It was a beautiful wedding party -with Chief of police Buck Griffin as the rosy-cheeked bride, in white lace, carrying a bouquet of white roses and mignonette; Durel Brig- man as tke heavily. mustached dandy groom; Elmore Godfrey, maid of lhonor and Paul Ed'wli Ramsey as matron of honor; Leonard Belin, best man; Mark Tomllnson, Rush Chism, Hob BBringman, Bill Shuford, Massey Ward and Carol Warner, bridesmaids; Wayne Buttram, Wal- ter Duren, Jimmie Cox, Joel Mc- Leod, Bernard Pridgeon and Bobby Bellows, junior bridesmaids. These flirty-eyed young ladies, in their gorgeous evening gowns, their curls and their bouquets of red roses had never looked lovlier! Nor the young men dandierl J. Lamar Miller and A. L. Ward, in dainty white rose-decked dresses, tripped down the aisle (or should we say galumphed) scattering rose petals-two precious little flower girls! Robert King, in Little Lord Faun- telroy suit, carried the ring ( a pair of handcuffs) on a white satin pil- low, and Stevie Beatty and Ken- neth Broadnax Jr., carried the bride's train, which was something over 20 feet long. These little girls, were levies also. The busy groomsmen, B. B. Sciu son, J B. Harris, Bob DuBell and Gannon Buzzett, acted as ushers in seating the audience. Hubert Richards, master of ceremonies, was resplendent in "tails." The supporting cast consisted of W. H. Weeks as adint of the bride and J. H. Veasey as her uncle; Ed Eells, most becoming, as a neigh- bor, Mrs. Nosey; Percy Fleishel as Ulika Scratchfeed. a jilted sweet- heart; J. T.

The glamorous barbershop quar- tet, Warren Lindsey, Ralph Swatts, John Goff and Gordon Hallmark, a whistle-bait team, appropriately ren- dered "I Wish I Was Single Again." Nuptial music, including "Roll Out the Barrel," was played by the Queen of Farina, Alden Farris, and the nuptial knot (attention, Boy Scouts, sailors and salesgirls) was tied by the catalog by Reverend B. B. Conklin. After weeks of anticipation and one procrastination and one "come- uppance," the wedding was over- and -the happy couple were still "Mister and Mister." Attend Rebekah Meeting' S Mrs. W. H. Weeks, Mrs. A. D. Lawson, Mrs. C. W. Long, Mrs. E. C. Pridgeon and Mrs. Fannie Brown of Melody Rebekah Lodge attended a meeting of the Panama City Re- bekah Lodge Tuesday night.

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, just step up and lay your money on the line. After much cogitation and weighing of matters pro and con, we have reached the conclusion that the three-month rate for The Star shall remain at the present price of $127.15, and the six-month rate will be $1.50. --------------~~---~---- I Star Classified Ads Bring Quick Results Ready- Mix Concrete Build Your Own Sidewalks, Driveways, Floors!
