Material At Concert

Solo Numbers, Glee Clubs, Bands,
Brass Sextet and Barber Shop
Harmony On Program

High school musicians, in their
concert to be given next Tuesday
night at 8 o'clock in the high school
auditorium, will present a variety
of material.
At the last concert, Tim Elder
played his cornet, and those who
heard him then are not surprised
that he has qualified for the all-
state festival. At this concert Jane
Allemore will perform the piano
solo that earned her the same high
honor.
The junior glee club will sing a
lullaby and also Stephen Foster's
"Jeanie With the Light Brown
Hair," these being the numbers
performed at the glee club festi-
val, and the junior band will play
several numbers to display their
progress.
A brass sextet consisting of a
trombone, three comets, baritone
and bass, will play some interest-
Sing tunes and a second small group,
who have styled themselves "The
Hungry Five," will play music in

Program for Adult

Education To Open

Florida Institute. To Offer Several
Courses ftr Those Seeking
Self-Betterment

The Gulf county branch of the
Florida Institute located in this
city announces the launching of an
adult education program which is
to be held in the grammar school.
Courses to be offered will include
English, mathematics, science, gov-
ernment, geography, history, busi-
ness English, bookkeeping, typing,
economics and child care.
Registration will begin Monday,
April 28 and continue through Wed-
nesday, April 30. All of those who
wish to further their educational
standards here have an opportun-
ity they shouldn't miss.
"In every community, large and
small, adults are in need of further
education- education for living,"
said William Rasmussen, director
of the institute. "The most imme-
diate needs of adults (those over
21) are in family life education, oc-
cupational training, citizenship ed-
ucation and personal adjustment.
"As a result of the expanding de-
fense program and consequent la-
bor shortages, the inducement of
good wages and improved working
conditions, many now will want to
develop skills, and these can be
achieved through adult education
classes," added Rsmussen.

He is survived by his widow, Mrs.
Gertrude Chafin of Panama City;
three daughters, Miss Edith Cha-
fin and Mrs. Wilson Stevens, both

Whaley of this city, and two sons,

Audit Shows City


of Port St. Joe Is

In Good Condition


Estimated Income for Past
Year Is Exceeded
By $2,333.33

The annual audit of the books of
the city of Port St. Joe has just
been completed by D. A. Smith &
Company, certified public account-
ants of Jacksonville, and indicates
that the city is in good condition
financially. Copies of the audit,
which covers the year 1951, may
be inspected at the city hall by
anyone interested.
A cursory examination of the au-
dit shows that the city has current
assets of $130,563.97 and fixed as-
sets in the amount of $1,083,138.66,
for a total of $1,430,431.75. Liabili-
ties, present and future, amount to
$569,615.13.
We find in the water and sewer
fund that a total of $34,227.52 was
paid by residents of the city for
these important services.'
The municipal hospital didn't do
so well, having an operating loss
of $10,204.27 for the 12-month pe-
riod. However, this shows some im-
provement over 1950, when the loss
came to $14,769.15, a decrease of
$4.564.88. Biggest items for opera-
tion of the institution were nurs-
ing service, $17,959.83; food, $12,-.
531.51; drugs and medical, $9,106,
and bad debts, $9,843.34. This lat-
ter item was up $1,843.71 over the
previous year.
On the collection end, property
taxes brought in $69,644.03; city
licenses, $8,359; amusement taxes,
$803.62; gasoline taxes, $9,396.14;
cigaret taxes, $21.302.99; fines and
forfeitures, $3,897.50; permits and

Revenue


State


Dan McCarty, Ft. Pierce grower
and cattleman, spoke in Port St.
Joe yesterday afternoon at 1:45,
coming to this city from Wewa-
hitchka and going on to Apalachi-
cola.
McCarty particularly hit the con-
servation plank of his 26-plank plat-
form in his talk here. He pledged
his full co-operation to the Florida
Forest Service and the agricultural
extension service in promoting for-
estry to keep pulp mills in opera-
tion and sawmills going.
He also called for the removal of
the Florida Game & Fresh Water
Fish Commission from politics. He
pledged his assistance in working
with sportsmen of Gulf coun'.' in
getting enough game for "your chil-
dren, my children and adults alike
to hunt."
"Some of you have been asking
me about my stand on old age pen-
sions, homestead exemption and
aid to the blind and dependent chil-
dren," he told his audience. "I am

Ask Overpass for

New Railroad Yard,

A. N. Would Eliminate Grade Cross-
ing At New YArd'1Under
Construction

Due to expansion of the St. Joe
Paper Company mill, which will
call for additional space both for
storage and for increased loading
and shipping facilities, the Ap-
alachicola Northern Railroad Com-
pany, as you may have noticed, is
constructing a new yard east of
the city on the WVewahitchka road,
which will partially occupy land
formerly used for a city dump.
With work on the project pro-
gressing rapidly, the company has
made an appeal to the state road
department to construct an over-
pass on the highway at that point,
pointing out that it would con-
tribute much toward safety of traf-
fic on the highway.
J. L. Sharit, A. N. vice-president,
who appeared before the road de-
partment board, said the company
would give the necessary right-of-
way for such an overpass, because
its construction would give much
more space for cars and eliminate
much switching, in addition to re-
moving many of the hazards that
would result from operating over
grade crossings. He added that per-
haps a detour of the highway could
be built around the crossing if the
construction of an overpass did
not seem practical.

Baseball Is Assured

For St. Joe This Year

Four Teams Already In Loop With
Possibly Two More; First
Game Set for May 7

Baseball fans of St. Joe have
been worrying considerably as to
whether or not we would have a


Promises of This and That
Made; One Speaker Hurls
Charge of 'Termites' In
Our County Government

Your editor finally got around to
attending one of the county politi-
cal rallies, that at White City.last
Saturday afternoon which was pre-
sented under the sponsorship of
Cecil E. Glass and Carter Ward.
We had been hearing that some
hot and heavy oratory had been go-
ing on at these gatherings, but we
were disappointed Saturday, the
only passage out of the ordinary
being a reference to "termites" in
our county government.
Floyd Lister acted as emcee for
the affair and introduced the sen-
atorial candidates first.
George Tapper informed his lis-
teners that he is standing on his
past record as representative and
pointed out that he has worked
continuously for the people of Gulf
county and will continue to work
for the betterment of Gulf county
and the other three counties in the
district if elected.
"There's a rumor beingcirculated
that I'm against homestead exemp-
tion," he said, "but I want to scotch
that by saying the law is in the
state constitution and me nor any
other legislator can do away with
it. It can't be changed except by
the people themselves."
Ben Williams, the other sena-
torial aspirant, said "I'm not ask-
ing you to send me to Tallahassee
to do what I want to do, but to do,
what you want me to do.
"I am not controlled by big busi-
ness, but am the people's candidate
and if elected I will unlock the
gates in Gulf county put across the
CCC roads by the St. Joe Paper'
Company so that you and me and
our children can go out in the piney
woods and fish in the streams and
ponds which are now cut off from
access by the paper company."
Holding forth on the state sales
tax, Ben said he would repeal the
tax on clothing costing over $10
and was opposed to any increase in
the sales tax.
Representative Candidates

Well, we can now assure them that
their worries are over, for negotia-
tions have been completed for a
Gulf Coast League loop.
In addition to Port St. Joe, the
teams already in are Apalachicola,
Blountstown and Tallahassee. The
loop may be swelled to six teams
if Tyndall Air Base and the Navy
Countermines Station come in. A
meeting was held at Blountstown
last night to discuss this possibil-
ity. First game for the Saints will
be on Wednesday, May 7, with the
Apalachicola Oystermen.
Leonard Belin, who will be man-
ager of the Saints, informs us that
the teams this year will be made
up strictly of local talent and that
practice will 'be held every after-
noon at 5:15 at the 'ball park. He
asks anyone interested in trying
for a place on the team to turn out
at that time.

Commission Meeting Advanced
Due to the fact that the regular
meeting date of the city commis-
sion falls on election day, May 6.
the meeting has been advanced to
Tuesday, April 29, at 8 p. m. Any-
one with any business to bring up
is asked to be present on that date.


matter of teachers' salaries, sales
tax and such are not the real is-
sues, but that "the real issues are
the things that come up in Gulf
county."
"I make no promises," he said,
"but I will earnestly strive for en-
actment of laws that would work
for the interestof the people of our
county."
C. C. Wilson, his opponent, ar-
rived late and spoke briefly, saying
among other things that he appre-
ciated the vote received in White
City in the past, "even though it
was negligible."
Tax Assessor Aspirants
The tax assessor candidates were
next in line, starting off with B. B.
Conklin, who informed the gather-
ing that "If elected I will conduct
the duties of tax assessor in a fair,
impartial and businesslike manner,
and will be in my office at all times
I am supposed to be there--and no
man can pledge any more than
that. After my four years you can
pat yourself on the back for elect-
ing the best tax assessor you ever
had."
Sammy Patrick, incumbent, was
brief and to tle point, saying, "I'm

POLITICAL RALLY
(Continued from page 1)
grateful for the support of you peo-
ple in the past. As you know, I've
always looked out for those having
homestead exemptions and wtill do
so in the future."
Felton "Preacher" Smith, third
candidate in this race, was not on
hand to present his case.
District 1 Commission Candidates
Six of the seven candidates for
county commissioner in District 1
were on hand, Henry Bozemanbe-
ing the first. "I'm promising the
same thing as the other six-fair,
square and impartial administra-
tion of county affairs. And 1 won't
promise to 'open any gates' put up
by the DuPont interests."
Roy Connell told of his 1S years
spent off and on as a commissioner
and said members of the board
need ability and character. "In my
time on the board I've seen men
there with ability but no character
and vice versa. I believe I have the
ability and the character."
Cecil E. Glass said he would do
his best to handle the business,of
the county "as I have labored for
my 12 children. There have are a
termites in our county government
but With the proper light on these
termites they will disappear, and I
promise to shine that light on them
if elected."
Jack Taylor merely asked for
support and told his listeners to
ask anyone who knew him about
his character and ability.
'Doc Whitfield said he merely got
up on the platform to let the voters
see him. "If you like my looks and
think I'll make you a good commis-
sioner, just vote for me on May 6,"
he said.
Tobe Gay, incumbent merely re-
quested the people to re-elect him
.if they thought he had made them
a good commissioner.
Tom McDaniel, the seventh can-
didate was not present.
District 3 Commission Candidates
J. C. Arbogast started off the
commissioner candidates for Dis-
trict 3; -3 yn, that he wasn't a
politician and "I can't make any
big promises, but if elected will do
the very best I know how. Inciden-
tally, I believe the county can op-
erate on present revenue and we
don't need any new taxes."
George Davis followed, giving a
definition of a politician. "A poli-
tician," he said, "is one who runs
part of the time for public offuie
and part of the time running to
save his own skin. I'm thankful I'm
not a politician! If elected I can
only promise one thing-to serve
all parns of Gulf county in an im-
partial manner."
Parker G. Hart said: "I believe I
can make a good commissioner and
serve fairly and impartially. I want


any or all of you to tell me to my
face where I hae failed to serve
xy u if elected to this office.''
John Story: "!I'm just an average
man who wants to serve for the
good of the people of the county."
Pete Strange. incumbent: "The
only promise i made during, the
last campaign was to be fair to all
and I have been a man who has
tried to do his best while in of-
fice." He stressed the road work
done in the county and the fact
that the millage has been lowered
since he went into office.
District 5 Commission Candidates
The District 5 aspirant were next
to stagger to the microphone, with
George Cooper first. "I've been
skinning your faces and your poc-
ketbooks for the past 15 years," he
said, "so you know me too well for
me to try to tell you of my capabil-
ities. Only thing- I can promise you
is a fair and impartial administra-
tion of county affairs."
John Dickey: "Im making no
promises-unlike most politicians.
I would like to make a few changes
in our county government, and I
particularly would like to preserve
the old cemetery at St. Joe and
also see a cemetery at St. Joe."
Foy Scheffer Jr.: "I am with the
people, of the people and for the
people of Gulf county, and if I am
elected I will still be with you, of
you and for you."
J. F. Miller, incumbent, started
off by saying "There's not much
left for me to say. I never have
heard so many candidates who
weren't making promises, but I've'
heard so many promises here to-
day that there's nothing left for me
to promise." He pointed oht that
all the new paving on county roads
does not come out of county funds,
according to a rumor, but from 80%
of the 7-cent gas tax refund to the
county "and so this paving is paid
for by those driving cars." He con-
cluded by saying, "I've got a name
for being honest, and I ought to
know, as I put it out myself."
One School Board Candidate
Carter )Vard was .the only can-
didate for school board member on
hand. "There's no use in me mak-
ing any promises." he said, 'cause
I probably couldn't keep 'emr if I
did. The only thing I'll promise you
to to work hard for our schools."

Our Country Right or Wrong

THE LITTLE GUY IS GOING CRAZY
Your friend (he ain't ours) President Truman
is getting ideas of grandeur similar to those held
by the late Adolph Schickelgruber (Adolf Hitler
to you).
Being queried by newspaper men after his
grab of the steel mills as to whether or not the
president could also seize the nation's newspa-
pers and radio stations, he replied that under
similar circumstances the president of the United


States has to act for whatever is for the best of
the country. "That is your answer," he added.
This crazy little guy apparently didn't take
into consideration the fact that the steel mills
are not organs of public opinion, while the news-
papers are, and, as one editor pointed out, if
the president could take over the newspapers
and radio stations, he would also have the power
to seize farms on the basis that the cost of food
is too high. He could tell the farmers that the
government is taking over their property and
setting prices on food.
And, just to show you that he's getting nt-
tier than a fruitcake, the other day he told the
Rural Electric Co-operative Association that the
use of advertising is socialistic in nature because
it is deductible as an expense for income tax
purposes, and therefore the public pays much of
the cost. If your friend (he ain't ours) Harry
figures that utility advertising is an expense
borne by all taxpayers, and by that token social-
ism, he must, by the same reasoning, consider
all business which advertises as socialistic.
Just how crazy can a person get?

Trouble with most of our "relief" agencies is
that the bigwigs get the relief and those who
really need relief get the leavings.

A real politician is one who can throw his hat
in the ring without endangering his scalp.

Ford's the Class "A" Winner

Run -
wf Ford Mileageor 3rd Consecutive Year!



New Ford Mileage Maker SIX Thriftiest in its Field!


Again this year ... as in the past two years Ford was first in
gas economy over all other cars in its price class in the Mobilgas
Economy Run. In this toughest test, a stock model Ford Six equipped
with Overdrive (optional at extra cost) averaged 53.855 ton-miles per
gallon and 25.463 actual miles per gallon.
This was a very special triumph for Ford's All-New MileageMaker
high-compression Six. For now, with its new design providing 101-
horsepower and free-turning overhead valves, Ford is definitely
pound-for-pound the most economical low-priced car to run! Yes ..
Ford's thrift was clearly proved by the 1,415-mile grind from Los
Angeles to Sun Valley. And a very important factor contributing to
this victory is Ford's Automatic Power Pilot which squeezes the last
ounce of power out of every drop of gas.


*The AAA Contest Board determines the wminnr by "ton-mlle per ollon" formula
to insure equal chance for all cars in each class regardless of sixe and weight.
Ton-miles per gallon equals the car weight (including posengers) in tons, multi-
plied by number of miles travelled, divided by number of gallons consumed.

a new hospital for the insane at
Chattahoochee than one "who built
a new supreme court building at
Tallahassee."
One of the highlights of his talk
was his stand on agriculture. He
said: "The progress of agriculture
in Florida is vital to the state's
growth. My administration rill be
dedicated to close co-operation with
agricultural interests of the state.
I favor the removal of the state
gasoline tax on gasoline consumed
in farm equipment not used on the
public highways, and in commer-
cial fishing boats."
He hit hard at the governmental
economy plank of his platform, call-
ing for a "ceiling on state taxes."
"Our folks just can't stand any


more topside efficiency in govern-
ment, we can run the government
on existing revenue."
A cost-of-living pay increase for
teachers also seemed one of the
primary thoughts in the candidate's
mind. He said that teachers must
be paid on a level that will com-
pete with private enterprise to as-
sure "your children and mine" of
an educational future.

fare board passed on 120 applica-
tions for public assistance during
their monthly meeting held Wed-
nesday of last -eek at Quincy, ac-
cording to Robert Bellows, a mem-
ber of the board.
The board approved one applica-
tion for old age assistance one for
aid to dependent children, and one

Mrs. W. O. Anderson of this city
is also a member of the board.
There are several eligibility re-
quirements which must be met be-


fore a person can receive assist-
ance from the welfare department,
Bellows pointed out. All of them
are considered when board mem-
bers review applications. The ma-
jor consideration is the question of
need, since the amounts of all
grants are based on that.

of The Star, Earl said:
"We acknowledge with thanks
and appreciation to Editor Bill
Smith of the-Port St. Joe Star his
kindness in carrying the correct
picture of this miserable insect af-
ter sending him the wrong one a
week earlier. While he carried our
picture along with his, we do ap-
preciate his having placed ours
above his, for we never did like
cigar ashes in our hair. And that's
as .sure what would have happened
as heck, had he placed his picture
over ours, for in his picture he was
chewing on a cigar which from all
indications was literally dripping
with flakes of ashes on the burning
end.
"Bill would have done right to
have let well enough alone and
printed only our picture in that
last outburst-but then if too many
of his readers become unhappy
about tire comparison, he can make
a hasty retreat to that new addi-
tion to his shop and become a rail-
road man while things are cooling
off."
That last line is in reference to
the paper storage room we added
recently and which our wife claims
we built especially for our "St.
Joseph & Lake Wimico Railroad &
Oanal Company," which occupies
,Me greater portion of the available
floor space. Apparently Ray
Adams of the Capital Paper Com-
pany, who covers Chipley in his
rounds, had infqrniEd the aging
Earl of our predeliction for trains.
Ear-l- o


Slitical family knows it's true, and
you know it's true. If they do not
think that I have the proof of this
and many other things, then the
courts are open to them."
Adams was speaking of a secret
memorandum he revealed to a Mi-
ami audience earlier, which he said
linked associates of W. H. Johns-
ton with a plan to construct the
turnpike without competitive bids,
without approval of the legislature
and without approval of the people.
Adams also promised to "take
state employes out from under the
lash of the politicians" through his
plan of reorganization of the execu-
tive branch of government.
"The day Alto Adams takes of-
fice, the ward heel system will be
thrown out of state offices," he as-
serted, adding that state employes
would know that tleir positions
would be secure -just as long as
they done a good job.

formed us that he had just returned
from a trip to Seguina, Texas, a
distance of 1067 miles as the Brod-
nax flies. "Made it in 22 hours going
and 16 hours coming back," he
proudly said. There's a man
we don't want to ride with-or per-
haps we should say "fly"-for when
we got to figuring, that return
flight was made at 66.687 miles an

The other day we were talking he must have been hitting around

Otto could save himself rings around his eyes by letting
us put new rings in his car. When your car starts taking
an extra quart of oil every time you go into a filling sta-
tion .. then it's time for NEW RINGS. And remember,
the money you save on oil and gas, plus the pleasure
you have in driving a car with lots of PEP and POWER
will more than pay for the ring job.

McCARTY HEADQUARTERS
IN OFFICE OF SILAS STONE
Mrs. Pearl Brown, an active sup-
porter of Dan McCarty, is quite
worried over the fact that very few
people know that there is a Mc-
Carty-for-Governor headquarters in
St. Joe, so we would like to inform
all and sundry that the headquar-
ters for Mr. Mc. are located in the
law office of Silas R. Stone on Reid
Avenue.
Mrs. Brown states that the wo-
man's division plans to keep the
office open every afternoon from
1 to 5 o'clock.

Mrs. Pridgeon Named As
Gulf County Tax Collector

Governor Fuller Warren Tuesday
named Mrs. Emily Pridgeon as tax
collector for Gulf county to fill out
the unexpired term of her husband,
the late Edd C. Pridgeon.
She is the 173rd woman to be ap-
pointed to public office by Warren
in fulfillment of his 1948 campaign
platform to give women more rec-
ognition in governmental affairs.
She is the 20th widow the governor
has appointed to succeed to posi-
tions held by their husbands.
The state attorney general said
Wednesday that it is up to the
Gulf county Democratic executive
committee to pick a nominee to run
for tax collector since Mr. Prid-
geon had been the only qualified
nominee and had no opposition.
The attorney general said the
committee could either appoint a
successor or hold a special pri-
mary election.

the style popular among wandering
street bands 50 years ago, and
though they may not look hungry,
they will endeavor to sound that
way.
A group of seniors who have
made a hit in school assemblies
will put on a skit called "The Shoe
Shine Boys" which contains little
music but much hilarity.
Four girls, billed as "The Beauty
Shoppe Quartette" will render a
feminine version of "barbershop"
harmony.
And, of course, the senior band
and glee club will share in the pro-
gram.

Let There Be Light
The Florida Power Corporation
this week began installation of the
new street lights for the city. The
lights are on long brackets extend-

much more powerful than the old
installations. At present they are
being mounted on the power poles,
but later will be transferred to

BREAKS LEG WHEN THROWN
BY WILD, SNORTING STEED
S. B. "Bill" Shuford suffered a
painful accident Tuesday afternoon
at his home on Garrison Avenue
when he set out for a ride on his
son's motor scooter. Coming out of
his driveway he hit a sand bed and
the scooter threw him and, Bill
said, stomped him a couple of
times, breaking his left leg.
Bill, who was in the municipal
hospital Wednesday, was visited by
E. L. Hobaugh, who said: "Shake
hands with another old fool," Ho-
baugh having broken his leg last
year on a motorcycle.
A lot of people apparently don't
realize they're getting old and spa-
vined.
