PORT ST. JOE A Progressive Community With a Modern, Progressive Weekly eNe~Wpaper t~~ THE STAR THE STAR Published In Port St. Joe But Devoted To the Con- tinued Development of Gulf County I "Port St. Joe-The Outlet Port for the Apalachicola-Chattahoochee Valley" --NUMBER Zb PORT ST. JOE, FLORIDA FRIDAY, MARCH 14, 1952 VOLUME XV Here is how the St. Joe Paper Company will get its water sup- ply to fill the needs of the greatly expanded mill, which will Me- quire 30,000,000 gallons of water daily as against the 9,000,000 gallons now used. Work has started in the section to the left.. County Commissioners Designate March 17-24 As Beautification Week Co-operating With State Beautifi- cation Week As Set By Governor Waren By RUTH MILTON The county commissioners of Gulf county, upon request of the state chamber of commerce, have desig- nated the week of March 17-24 as "County Beautification Week." A program for county beautifica- tion was set up Wednesday of last week in this 'city at a meeting called by Mrs. Joe Whitfield at the request of the state chamber. Many organizations were represented, and county officers elected at that time, being Mrs. J. Whitfield, chairman; Miss Ruth Milton, secretary, and J. C. Culpepper, treasurer. Since it will not be necessary to meet often, it was decided to have a group of city beautification offi- cers also. Port St. Joe officers are I. C. Nedley, chairman; Mrs. Frank- lin Jones, secretary, and Mrs. C. A. Brown, treasurer. Wewahitchka's chairman is Mrs. B. E. Parker, with other officers to be elected later. On the opening day of "Beautifi- cation Week," March 17, at 2:30 p. m., two camellia plants will be set (Continued on page 12) _--------- Tomorrow Last Day for Candidates To Qualify 'Those county officials who have no opposition to date are holding their collective breaths and keeping their fingers crossed as the dead- line for qualifying draws near. Saturday, March 15, is the last day on which candidates may qual- ify for the May 6 primary. Usually there are one or two last-minuters anxious to get into the swim, and this election year probably won't be an exception. CITY GETS ANOTHER GOB OF CIGARET TAX MONEY City Clerk Ben Dickens this week racked up another check in the amount of $1,702.58 as Port St. Joe's cut of the cigaret tax money col- lected during January within the city limits.

Entire amount collected in Flor- ida for January came to $1,672,586.

Our Country '--Y Right or Wrong REGISTER TODAY AND VOTE IN MAY The divinely inspired framers of our country's Constitution began its preamble with three words that reveal the purpose uppermost in their minds. It was their solemn intent that this should be truly a people's government where the majority would rule. :They began their declaration "We the people." They did not say "We, the congress" or "We, the politicians!" They said "We, the people." They meant ALL the people, rich and poor, old and young. Not only was our government established by "the people," but into our hands was placed the power to control, to change and even to dissolve it by majority action. The source of that power was the sacred right of free expression by our ballots at the polls. We now approach another election; it is a critical hour in our history. We are called upon to express our will in the selection of county, state and national leaders. It is the solemn duty of every good American to register and vote. Check with Mrs. C. G. Rish, supervisor of registration for Gulf county to be sure you are qualified, if you have any doubts. Remember, the registration books will close April 5.

Some of the energy in a lamp is lost by being conducted as heat through the gas in the bulb. With the higher wattage lamps, this loss is less in percentage, and thus more energy is used to make light.

Scheduled in the project to re- duce the undesirable roughfish in the fresh waters of Northwest Flor- ida are a series of shooting, gigging and netting expeditions, which should help improve sports fishing. The program works like this: When concentrations of rough- fish such as gars, suckers and mud- fish, are found, game commission fish management technicians will inspect the waters and determine the best practical method of de- stroying the species in that cer- tain area. The general public, sportsmen's clubs and civic groups will be told of the location of the area, the day and time that such a program will tqke effect, and the method to be used in eradicating the roughfish. All such operations will be super- vised by commission personnel. If the fish management men de- termine that shooting will be best to rid the waters of these species, then the public will be asked to bring their rifles and pistols and assist the game agency in the de- struction of the fish. If gigging is determined to be the best method, then the public will be allowed to gig the roughfish. The game com- mission has a number of gigs on.

A free drink of water in the village of Cottagegrove (population 172) is a hard thing to find these days. Even for the horses and cows. Under new rates just approved by the state public utilities com- mission, the community's water supply is authorized, effective immediately, to charge 25 cents a head each month for horses, mules, and cows that drink municipal water. Other livestock was excluded from the order. But OP Dobbin must pay. Utilities Commissioner John C. Hammer said he believed it was the first time the state had fixed drinking-water rates for animals, Hooking Rugs Proves Profitable Businoss For Small Maine Town TURNER VILLAGE, Me.-For its size, this community has contributed perhaps more to glamorizing polished floors than any other ham- let in the United States. Boasting scarcely 1,000 citizens. Turner Village is proud of being the home..of the oldest and largest hooked rug guild in operation. In a three-story frame building, some 60' employees-most of them women-turn out nearly a half mil- lion dollars' worth of hooked rugs annually. With the trend-toward smaller rugs and polished floors gaining momentum, folks of Turn- er Village hope to hit the million- dollar mark some day in the not- too-distant future. Most of these employees live on farms where they arise before sun- up to do the chores. By six o'clock in the morning they are hard at work in the Priscilla Turner Rug Guild plant. By noon they are through for the day and heading back home to complete their farm work. Their six-hour stint at the factory contributes to an output of rugs that are sold all over-the -world, including Europe, Australia and Africa, S'The Guld which Maine par- lance means partnership or corpo- ration, was organized in 1923 by Harvey James DeForest, a mechan- ical engineer who believed that hooked rugs could be turned out in mass volume. Until then, hooked rugs were rare, made principally of strips of discarded clothes and based on a hazy tradition of design. When DeForest organized his rug- 'hookers-about 30 strong-they set up headquarters in a grain and wheat mill near the Neziscot river falls. By developing equipment which Supped the production potential of a pair of rug-hooker's hands, DeForest rocked other ruggers back on their heels with an initial annual output valued at $25,000. Since then the production has expanded 20-fold. Turning out 75 patterns in sizes ranging up to 14 by 27 feet, these S. rugged, Majne. people ,have devel-. oped a new and profitable industry in this little "Down East" town. > '"<"' "---- Two Editors Are Banned From Council Meetings ELKTON, Md.-The town of Elk- ton, population.3,500, was the center of nation-wide attention recently when the editors of the town's two weekly newspapers charged they were banned from town council meetings. The editors joined in declaring the ban undemocratic and a threat to freedom of the press. The newspapermen reported they have been unwelcome since they reported that a' delegation of citi zens complained about rowdyism around a cafe and that the council had instructed the police to put on pressure and raid the place if neces- sary. The mayor had suggested that nothing be carried in the papers about it. At the next meeting the council went into secret session when the two editors appeared. The mayor is reported to have told the editors that the ban would continue.. --4=----*---- The first trucks in the U. S. were made in 1904 and about 700 were registered that year.

With the Firestone Supreme, blowout accidents .can't hap- pen because inside the tire is a safety .diaphragm, which holds a reserve supply of air to give you com- plete control ,of your car after the blowout occurs. PUNCTURES With ordinary tires and tubes punctures are dangerous too. A nail, a piece of glass, any sharp object and you can be caught inw dangerous traffic with a flat. With the Firestoneo Supreme, this can't happen because inside this tire . is a special puncture-sealing material which adheres- to penetrating objects and prevents immediate air loss, enabling you to complete your trip without interruption. SKIDDING .". With ordinary' MiC, you- ar 'always in danger of a bad skid, especially when driving conditions are slippery. With Firestone Supremes, you get maximum protection against skidding because there are more square inches of tread gripping the road. Special traction boosters and skid resisters in the tread further increase your stopping power because they give more bite and take a firmer grip.

He added, that the splendid co- operation of landowners and resi- dents of the, county has made it possible to cut the number of fires more than half this year, compared to the number last year. Hardy stated that 12 of the 33 fires this year were set purposely. The other 21 fires were caused by lightning and carelessness.

This is not so, since the intake pipe will be well away from the banks of the Chipola River, and the Cypress Creek area will not be dammed. In addition to this, protec- tive screens will be placed at the intakes. In fact, it should provide 'more fishing waters, for we're willing to bet that within a short time the new canal will have its quota of fish despite precautions to'ke'ep 'em out. We've seen it happen before. Incidentally, the 'ditch from the intracoastal waterway to the St. Joe city limits will serve as a reser- voir and settling basin to provide a 24-hour supply of water to -the mill.

JOE GARDEN CLUB One southern gardening magazine lists the following eight trees and shrubs as indispensable to provide beauty and color the year 'round in Dixieland: 1. Some evergreen tree, pine, cedar, magnolia or live oak. 2. Camellias. 3. Azaleas. 4.. Red- bud. 5. 'Dogwood. 6. Mimosa. 7. Crepe myrtle. 8. Deciduous holly. Many gardeners do not realize that gardenias, hollies, magnolias and dogwood prefer an acid fer- tilizer, like azaleas and camellias. Now is the time to start the heat- loving..summer annuals, in flats or seed' beds, .to have them ready to take their place in the garden when spring, blossoms begin to fade. Some that may be successfully planted now are zinnias, marigolds, asters, alyssum, dahlias, gaillardis, linaria, morning glory, petunias, salvia, ver- bena and sunflowers.
