There have been rumors going

but Superintendent Tom Owens in-
forms us that these improvements
are on the docket, but will be made
from present funds on hand.
"It is imperative that we build
these new schools and ma:.- addi-
'tions to our lprcencr .selonl plants."
said Owens, "since enrollment has
increased each year since the last
building program, and impending,
industrial expansion in Gulf county
indicates further and greater in-

new facilities will be overcrowded
within'a year or two at the present

Judge Lewis Speaks Before
Baptist Bible Class Meeting
Members of the Men's Gideon
Bible class, the ladies' Royal Hearts
class, their families and a number
of guests enjoyed a fellowship buf-
fet dinner Monday evening at the
First Baptist Church.
A fitting tribute was paid to H.
G. Harvey, retiring teacher of the
Gideon class, who has resigned to
devote his time to the pastorate of
the Highland View Mission Baptist
Church. A gold watch and chain
were presented to him by Otis
Pyle, class president, on behalf of
the members, expressing their ap-
preciation and esteem.
Guest speaker was popular Cir-
cuit Judge E. Clay Lewis Jr., of
Panama City, a former St. Joe resi-
dent, who has spoken here on many
previous occasions. Lewis was in-
troduced by the program chairman,
Cecil Costin Jr., and was warmly
received. His address was both
timely and inspirational, dealing
with the problem which confronts
us today, the insecurity which ap-
pears in this fantastic age of infla-
tion and greed and crime. Judge
Lewis' answer to the situation was
the only obvious one-a return to
Christ and the principles which He
taught and lived and died for.
A gracious and welcome guest in
the person of his wife accompanied
Judge Lewis.

Our Country


i Right or Wrong


ABOU BEN ADHEM NEW STYLE
Your friend (he ain't ours) Harry S. Truman,
the old high school paper editor from Indepen-
dence, Mo., made a little speech to 3,300 other
school editors at the Waldorf Astorial hotel in
New York last week. For the benefit of those
who wondered (and are still wondering) why
he made a round trip from Key West for the
purpose, he said: "I came because the future of
this great republic of ours depends upon.young
people like you,"
i Quoting the Colden Rule as "the basis of all
great moral codes," the president said that as a
result of the government's efforts in the past 20
years "more and more people have been able to
have better living conditions."
"We have been reducing inequality, not by
pulling down those at the top, but by lifting up
those at the bottom," he said. He didn't explain
that his administration had already spent a good
big hunk of all the money his hearers would
ever earn.
In closing, he said: ... if we accomplish the
purpose which we propose to accomplish, it
means the greatest age in the history of the
world, arid you will live in the most peaceful
time the world has ever seen."
He offered no ideas on what to do about the.
war we have on our'hands right now. We ex-
pect some of the president's earers will ponder
his words further, when they get their draft calls.


S NO VOTE IS A VOTE AGAINST IT
A fine point of law is going to make it rather
hard for the school board's bond issue to pass-.
unless Gulf county freeholders are interested
enough to help put it over.
Here's what the-laws says: "A majority'of those
voting must be for the bonds." But-and this is
the catch-more than half of the freeholders have
to vote in the election for it to be legal (51% to
be exact).
In other words, if you stay home next Tues-
day, you will be really voting against the bond
issue. Now we aren't going to make a flat state-
ment and say that if you don't vote you are agin'
better schools. It would be rather silly to make a
broad statement like that. At the same time, we
don't mind telling you how we feel about it. In
our opinion, the bond issue represents a chance
to give our boys and girls what they should have
had long ago-better educational facilities.
That's why we're concerned with this catch in
the law. The people who oppose bonds won't
have to lift a finger to fight the election. Thdse
who are for them will have to get busy and vote
-and get their friends to vote.


LETTERS
TO-THE EDITOR


Editor The Star:
In their estimates for the cost of
the proposed construction program
for schools in Gulf county, the Gulf
county board of public instruction,
the 'superintendent of schools for
Gulf county and the survey staff of
the Florida State Department of
'EdIu-ati;:n have not provided any

PUSHES FOR CLEAN GOVERNMENT .
Reprinted from, the Pensacola Journal STARDUST and
George Smathers' Florida's junior senator, is
attracting attention by the work which he is do-' MOONSHINE


ing for governmental reform. First his proposal
for direct presidential primary nominations elici-
ted a great deal of comment, most of it favorable.
Now he is engaged, with a group of his col-
leagues, in pushing a six-point "clean govern-
ment bill." He chalked up one of the points as
accomplished when the senate approved the Tru-
man reorganization plan for the bureau of inter-
nal revenue. Then he set to work immediately to
strengthen the civil service, under which the
new collection officials will be placed.
Smathers defends government service and
points out that most government workers and
officials are competent, honorable and with a
high sense of responsibility, but it is the story of
the one rotten apple in the barrel. "We must pro-
tect the good fruit," he said.
The junior senator now is pushing the other
five facets of his bill to clean up government.
They are:
1. Mandatory jail sentences and large fines
for bribery.
2. Striking at the "tax fix" by outlawing inter-
vention in such matters by anyone except tax-
payers, their counsel or associate.
3. Extending definition of bribery to cover of-


'Way back in the January 25 is-
sue of The Star we reprinted a few
words from Earl Sellers' "Brain-
less Babble" column in the Wash-
ington County News (Chipley) in
which he said: "This has nothing
to do with that shiftless fellow-
publisher down in Port St. Joe who
a while back claimed we looked a
lot like we were 63. He couldn't
help what being cooped up in that
town all these years has done to
him."
At that time we challenged Earl
by saying: "We still claim you look
to be 63, even though we know you
are about our age. We challenge
you to loan us a cut of you to be
published alongside that of the
handsome and young-looking editor
of The Star in order that' our read-
ers may see that our point is not
taken in vain."
Having received no reply to our
challenge, last week we threw the
word "Coyvard" in his teeth, and
boy, that brought results by return
mail! Here is that Chipleyite
who would rather fish than work
(as who wouldn't) .but this

S 1934 when he was running for city
transactions and others involving public funds, dog catcher at Chipley
5. Revocation of pensions of government of-
ficials or employes convicted of misuse of au- __li_
thority or influence. .


This is a good program which merits support.
We feel certain that he will be assisted by his
Florida colleague, Senator Holland, even though
the senior senator opposed the Truman reorgani-
zation plan.
Senator Holland disclaimed any interest in po-
litical patronage, but he did not think the senate
should surrender its responsibility to confirm
collectors for the several states and that the new
plan would leave Florida without a district of-
fice, making it m ore difficult for Florida tax-
payers to confer with the district head.


TYRANNY THROUGH IGNORANCE
One of the best signs of the times is the angry
attention that is being given to the president's
proposed budget. Individuals and newspapers
the country over have been denouncing it as an
economic monstrosity which is practically be-
yond understanding.
As an example, Life criticized congress for
having lost its powers over our national purse-
strings, and said: "Congress had better pass some
self-reforming adts and give itself these powers.
Otherwise the federal budget will remain the in-
comprehensible sign of America's creeping re-1
treat from political self-control to tyranny thru
ignorance."
That phrase, "tyranny thru ignorance," should
stick in the mind of every reader of The Star
who has the slightest interest in honest, efficient
government, and in the preservation of economic
and political freedom. It is the same thought the
editor of The Star has been pounding at off and
on for the past two or th-e; years.
When the people and their elected represen-
tatives are basically ignorant of matters affect-
ing their welfare and very survival, the stage is
all set for the appearance of the tyrant. The pro-
posed budget is just one more grim example of
how a nation can destroy itself from within.

Keep smiling-and buy Defense Bonds.

Ship Sinks On Leaving Port
The S'S Vamar, of Panamanian
registry, sunk Saturday at the chan-
nel entrance to St. Joseph's Bay af-
ter sailing with a cargo of 300,000
feet of lumber from the St. Joe
Lumber & Export Company. It is
understood that as the ship listed
the crew cut loose the lumber on
deck in an effort to right her. The
crew of 18 was picked up by the
pilot boat and brought back to St.
Joe. It was noted that the ship had
a slight list as it pulled away from
the dock, and authorities have ex-
pressed the opinion that it was to
be sunk purposely at the channel
entrance to block entry to our port,
which at present is handling huge
amounts of gasoline and oil.

ALTO





ADAMS?


ALTO ADAMS THE CITIZEN -
was born 53 years ago in Wal-
ton County, the son of a cotton
farmer. Enlisted in the Navy as
an apprentice seaman during
World War I. Worked as a
janitor at college to earn money
fLr hard and fees. Was gradu-
ated from the University of
F:orida with a law degree and
admitted to the bar in 1921.

ALTO ADAMS THE LAWYER -
began practice in Pensacola, 3
years later moved to Ft. Pierce.
Though no fire-eating orator, he
became a highly successful trial
lawyer. Kis friendliness, frank-
ness and convincing logic held
the attention of juries as well
as judges; established a wide
reputation for painstaking
thoroughness and bulldog tena-
city.

ALTO ADAMS-THE CATTLEMAN
-a man of vision with faith in
!orida's fuGtre, he invested
vwisely in the infant cattle in-
dustry. By applying good busi-
.ess principles with sound econ-
omy of operation, he became a
man of independent means.

ALTO ADAMS-THE JUDGE-was
appointed Circuit Judge for the
Ninth Judicial Circuit in 1938.
Quickly his reputation as a jur-
ist spread. In 1940 was ap-
pointed Supreme Court Justice
and was three times re-elected
without opposition. As Justice
displayed an amazing faculty
for stripping away legal techni-
calities and getting to the sub-
stance of complex legal prob-
lems. Based his decisions on
common-sense as well as law.


ALTO ADAMS CHIEF JUSTICE
SUPREME COURT -promptly re-
vealed an unusual ability for
administration and organization
which won hearty approval of
his fellow justices. His quiet,
unheated approach in court con-
ferences made him a favorite
with his colleagues and his
short, simple, to-the-point opin-
ions made him popular with all
who knew him.

ALTO ADAMS -- THE MATURE
LEADER became a candidate
for governor because he is
against the flagrant disregard
for morality and the reckless
waste of public funds that
characterizes government today.
Alto Adams pledges honesty and
integrity at all levels, real econ-
omy, and a frank return to gov-
ernment by the people under
the constitution. Every voter in
Florida is proud our state has
developed a leader like Alto
Adams. Our state demands his
great ability, his mature leader-
ship, his devotion to fundamen-
tal Democracy and his thorough
grasp of governmental prob-
lems.
