LETTERS
TO THE EDITOR
Port St. Joe, Fla.
Dear Editors Bill and Myrtice-
Here is ny check for $4 for The
Star-we wouldn't want to miss It.
Steve says it's the BEST newspa-
per we get (others: Florida Times-
Union and Panama City News-Her-
ald). What he likes most are the
"fillers."
Ruth Smith.
Serint, Texas
Dear Editor Bill-We don't know
just :when. our subscription runs
out, but we sure want to take ad-
vantage of tile offer you've made
about the two years for $4. Hoping
to see everybody in St. Joe when
:e take our summer vacation.
Mr. and Mrs, Eafie Tolbert.
Silver Spring, Md.
Pear Editor Bill and Mrs. Smith
-We finally remembered to send
a little do-re-ni so we won't miss
getting the news from 'way down
.ihre. Around here the people call
Ma-ryland a southern state, but it
iseeis like "way up north" to us.
I have often wondered if you two
spend much time in that nice house
you built out on the creek? It is
hard to find a place in this area as
quite and peaceful as that and
nany other fishing places near St.
Joe.
Best wishes to you both.
Adalyn, Joe and Carol LeHardy.
Long Beach. Calif.
Dear Mr. Smith-Enclosed is a
check for $2 to continue our sub-
scription for a year. We do appreci-
ate your continuing to send us the
paper even after our six months
subscription ran out, which I be-
Ilieve was last month. Thank you a
lot-we wouldn't have wanted to
miss a single issue.
Paul Charlesworth.
SAttorney General To Appeal
Decision On Campaign Law
Attorney General Dick Ervin is
preparing to appeal to the state su-
preme court the decision of Circuit
Judge Hutchinson of Panama City
holding Florida's campaign spend-
ing law unconstitutional because it
violates constitutional freedoms.
The suit was brought by Wallace
Finlay of Blountstown at the re-
quest of the Florida Press' Associa-
tion. The decision of the lower
court was sweeping in its denunci-
ation of the restrictions in the cam-
paign spending law.
A similar suit in Hillsborough
county resulted in exactly the op-
posite decision. This also will be
appealed by the press association,
and the two may be joined in argu-
ment before the court.

Our Country 1q'kr Right or Wrong

WE'RE STILL SKEPTICAL
We can't tell you how delighted we were to
hear over the radio Saturday night that your
friend (he ain't ours) Harry Truman had finally
broken his Sphinx-like silence and announced he
would not seek re-election. However, we're still
skeptical, and he's probably open for "drafting."
Harry apparently has heard the voice of the
people and rather than run the chance of being
defeated, decided to bow but while still the
champ. We like to feel that, in a small way thru
our editorials, we had something to do with his
decision, for thousands of other small newspa-
pers throughout the nation, like The Star, had
been pounding away at Harry and his cronies
with loose morals who could do no wrong in the
presidential eyes.
We'll bet one of the most disappointed men in


the world today is Joe Stalin, who'd been play-'May Be Unlawful for

Baby Dies
Enoch Edward Sapp, 12-day-old
son of Mr. and Mrs. C. W. Sapp of
this city died Tuesday at the home
of his parents. Funeral services
were held Wednesday, with inter-
ment in the Nettle Ridge Cemetery
near Blountstown.
Registration Called for Oldsters
Old-timers, middleaged men and
the majority of veterans of World
War I in Gulf county will soon have
an opportunity to do something
about the present war, as the gov-
ernment has ordered those falling
in the age group between 45 and 65
to register for service on Monday,
April 27. Very likely the majority
of them will be assigned to essen-
tial work and not be taken into
the armed forces.
First Aid Classes To Start
Instruction in gas defense was
completed this week 'by the Gulf
County Defense Council in its pro-
gram of civilian defense training,
and next week will see the course
in first aid get underway.
Tire Allotment for April
Tire and tube allotment for Gulf
county for the month of April, ac-
cording to B. E. Kenney, head of
the rationing board, is as follows:
Passenger car tires 5,.tubes 15; re-
treads, 24. Truck tires, 30; tubes,
30; retreads, 12.
Personals
Fred Perry will leave next week
for Camp Blanding, where he will
be inducted into the army.
Ferrell Allen is the new clerk at
the postoffice, replacing Russell
Cawthon, who was called back as a
reserve officer in the army.
Bill Edwards will leave this week
for Camp Blanding to be inducted
into the army.
When Jake Belin demonstrated
that gas mask at the defense soun-
cil school Monday evening he re-
sembled a mule wearing a feed-bag.

Fowl Pox
Once fowl pox strikes a poultry
farm, outbreaks are almost certain
to occur there year after year un-
less the birds are vaccinated.

From Ships to Planes
During World War II, many of the
products from International Nickel's
rolling mills went into ships for a
two-ocean navy; emphasis has now
been directed to jet plane produce
tion. This has produced a corre
spending shift in the types of the al-
loys coming from tha Company's
three rolling mills-at Huntington,
West Virginia; Birmingham, Eng-
land; and Glasgow, Scotland-in the
direction of the unique high tem-
perature resisting alloys presently
required.

Largest Nickel Supply
As in World War II, the defense
requirements of Canada, the United
Kingdom and the United States are
supported by a supply of Canadian
nickel which far exceeds the supply
believed available to countries be-
hind the Iron Curtain. In fact it can
be said that as a result of what the
Canadian nickel industry has done
in developing its mines and proc-
esses, the free world has over-
whelming nickel superiority.

GARDEN NOTES
PORT ST. JOE GARDEN CLUB

You'll get an added feeling of ac-
complishment out of gardening-
and it will be cheaper, too-if you
grow your own flower and vege-
table plants from seed: The two
most important points for success
are (1) Give your seedlings sun as
soon as they are up, (2) Don't let
your seedlings dry out.
Buy good quality seed of the va-
rieties you want, and follow these
stepby-step directions:
Before sowing your seed, disin-
fect them with a dust available at
your seed store. Tear off a corner
of the seed packet, take as much
dust as will stay on the tip of a
pocketknife blade and insert in
packet, close opening and shake
vigorously for a few seconds.
A small, shallow box, say about
22x14 inches, will start a good many
plants. Pieces of broken clay pots
or shells over drainage cracks in
the bottom will prevent clogging.
Spread soil lumps over bottom be-
fore filling with soil mixture. Mix
equal parts of sand, soil and peat


moss or rotted leaves. Pile mixture
high in box. Press down .firmly
along sides with hands to prevent
cracks around edges from carrying
away water. Soil porosity is more
important than fertility in making
seeds grow quickly.

about % inch below top of the box.
Wet thoroughly and allow soil to
settle for about an hour.
Next, mark off straight rows,
about 2 inches apart, so your seed-
lings will get plenty of air and light.
Furrows needn't be more than %/

Those Entering Halls of Learing
for First Time Must Have Birth
Certificates and Be Immunized

Sp:ing is a good time of year to
begin preparing children .who will
be entering school for the first
time next fall, the state board of
health reminds parents.
Dr. Wilson T. Sowder, state health
officer, said that such children
would need a birth certificate and
should be immunized against cer-
tain diseases which will offer more
of a hazard when the child associ-
ates with a larger group of chil-
dren which he will encounter dur-
ing his school days.
"In many areas," he stated, "pre-
school clinics or 'round-ups' of the
young children are staged by the
schools, county health departments,
Parent-Teacher Associations and
other interested groups-to help pre-
pare the school-age child for associ-
ation with fellow-pupils.
"Birth certificates can be ob-
tained through county health de-
partments or from there state board

Ripley P. Eullen, assistant arch-
aeologist of the Florida Board of
Parks and Historic Memorials, ex-
plains that these "tourists" are
dated by the types of tools and im-
plements found in state excava-
tions and mounds. That some came
from what is now Georgia is proved
by vessels of steatite or soapstone
brought by them. This rock, which
was quarried to make these ves-
sels, is not found any nearer.
"Early settlers of the Everglades
developed tools made of shell and
bone," says the archaeologist, "be-
cause suitable stone was not avail-
able. Many were of the same types
and forms as those made of stone
in the north. They also used shark
teeth as carving tools."
Having reached Florida, some of
these "tourists" settled down, got
said in their sandals, and became
permanent residents. Hundreds of
years later their descendants met
the first Spanish, who named them
Timcua, Calusa, Jaega, Tequesta
and Ais Indians.
