is Victim of 'Speed

Trap' In Bay County

Charges He Was Arrested After
Predicting Tapper Would
Win In.Senate Race

E. H. Vittum of this city asserts
that he was stopped by Constable
Lamar Braley of Bay county near
the Bay-Gulf county line Saturday
for allegedly passing a school bus
and that after Braley had asked to
see his driver's license and where
he worked, asked "what the sena-
torial race looked like."
Vittum said he told Braley that
in his opinion George Tapper would
win, whereupon, according to Vit-
tum, Braley said: "Well, I guess
you'd better follow me in." Vittum
"followed him in" and posted a $25
cash bond.
.Appearing in court Saturday, Vit-
tum was acquitted of the charges
by Justice of the Peace Ellis Davis.
'As a result of Vittum's arrest
Governor Fuller Warren sent a tel-
egram to Representative Tapper
stating that a special investigator
would be sent to Bay county to
check on the report that Braley is
"maintaining a speed trap and
using' his authority for purposes
not authorized by law."
Tapper says that he asked for/the
investigation following "numerous

cumbent, Tobe Gay, placed fifth in
the field of seven.

ond, John Dickey third and Foy

Two Youths Are Jailed for
Motor Company Robbery

Two local youths, Mack Gay, 17,
and Edgar Dees, 21, were picked
up by Chief of Police Buck Griffin
on a tip that they were the ones
who entered the McGowin Motor.
Company Friday night and made
off with $893.04 in checks and $391
in currency.
The two, who were picked up
Saturday by Griffin, had all of the
cash and the checks, most of which
were' paper' mill payroll vouchers,
in their possession.
SThey were-booked at the county
jail in Wewahitchka and were re-
leased under bond of $500 each.
They will come up for trial at the
'fall term of circuit court.

liams, perhaps, Gulf county went

Tapper in the race for state sena-
tor from the 25th District.
However, Tapper received a ma-
jority over Ben when returns came
in from the other counties making
up the district to give him, unoffi-
cially, 10,695 votes against Ben's
8,026.
In Bay county, Tapper received
5,847 and Williams 4,042.
Calhout county \vent for Tapper,

North Florida Counties

Give Sen. Russell Edge

People of Gulf County Join With
Neighbors To Out-Vote the
Kefauver City Folks

The people of Gulf county joined
with other North Florida counties
in backing Senator Richard Rus-
Sell of Georgia for president of the
United States to out-vote the city
folks of South and East Florida
who supported Senator Estes Ke-
fauver. Gulf county gave Russell
1,551 votes as against 466 -for Ke-
fauver. Other counties in the area
voted in about the same propor-
tion.
Kefauver appealed particularly
to voters in the large city areas
made up principally of Northerners
while Russell had the backing of
the "country" people, many of
whom came from Georgia and con-
sequently had a friendly feeling for
a fellow Georgian.
But be that as it may, the 27
counties that form the northern
portion of the state gave Russell
almost exactly the plurality by
which he defeated Kefauver-more
than 55,000 votes.

Scale Model Electric
Crane Is Masterpiece

By HARRY McKNIGHT
A scale model electric crane, re-
motely controlled, that made.boys
of men and would send any--mech-
anically-minded boy into ectasy, was
demonstrated to Kiwanians Wed-
nesday of last week at their regu-
lar dinner meeting held at. Iotel
St, Aoe by Norman Fischer, master.
mechanic of the Tidewater Con-
struction Company.
At the luncheon,. Fischer' was in-

a demonstration of his mechanical
marvel which he fashioned himself
from surplus war materials.
Standing about 36 inches high to
the tip of the boom and weighing'
about 35 pounds it was a perfect
replica of the huge crawler type
diesel -electric cranes now being
used by Tidewater in its operation
at the plant of the St. Joe Paper
Company and would do everything
that it is possible for a traveling
crane to do,-from moving buckets
of earth, turning in any direction,
traveling in any direction at the
same time, climbing to a loading
platform, picking up and moving
the platform at will, and, in fact,
doing everything but talk.
Using a 25-volt generator box for
power with all control wires con-
solidated into one cable leading to
a 12-control panel on its front sec-
tion, the crane was built purely as
a hobby by Fischer, who worked on
it approximately two hours a day
foy two years.

Tom McDaniel, vice-president of
the Wewahitchka, Kiwanis Club.

Our Country Right or Wrong

A MATTER OF OPINION
Thursday of last week C. C. Wilson and Cecil
Costin Jr., candidates for representative in the
legislature from Gulf county, held a sort of de-
bate on several matters pertaining to changing
the city charter of Port St. Joe, which wele pro-
mulgated by Uncle Charlie.
Since this is being written on Monday, we


don't know which of these gentlemen will be
elected, but we do want to put in our two-bits
worth, regardless.
Mr. Wilson, among other things, would 'have
the voters elect our city clerk, city judge and
chief of police. We wouldn't particularly mind
the city judge and chief of police being elected
by the people, but we wouldn't want to) see our
city clerk (who is also auditor) selected thusly.
For instance, suppose the editor of The Star
decided he would like to become city clerk and,
through the influence he might wield through
the medium of this newspaper, plus the support
of his friends, ran against Ben Dickens and beat
him. Well, to tell you truthfully, Ye Ed is one
heck of a bookkeeper, and if it came down to
making an audit, we'd be lost. Consequently, the
city's books would be in a horrible mess. We're
lucky/ to be able to keep our own books in a
pitiful sort of way, and if they balance to within
thirty or forty dollars either way, we're happy.
So you see what could happen should someone
with sufficient influence and friends and little
or no knowledge of\accounting be elected as our
city clerk.
No' we feel that the present setup, where the
city commission appoints a fully qualified man
to the position, is the best bet.

STARDUST and
MOONSHINE

While it's only a minor skirmish,
with the winner still in doubt, you
should know that the navy has en-
gaged the senate preparedness com-
mittee in the "battle of the paper-
weights." At the risk of revealing
classified information,. H. R. As-
kins, assistant secretary of the
navy, has reported the need of 48,-
000 paperweights per year. Any re-
duction, he indicated is a'case of
saving at the spigot and wasting at
the buag, snoe .if .paperw-eights are
scarce "individuals have a ten-
dency to improvise by utilizing
other office equipment for the same
purpose, which often results in
damage to more.expensive items
not designed for' use as paper-
,weights." It seems hardly
likely that anyone 'will';disci)ver
that if there were fewer papers
they wouldn't need so many paper-
weights or so much "other
office equipment," such as Waves
. .to fill out the 'papers and
then sit on 'em afterward.

Joe Malpas, general factotum and
presumably publisher of the Wa-
kulla\County News, seems to be a
bit frustrated. Sez Joe: "It is a
dirty shame-but no longer do the
canned milk cans have the little no-
tation; 'Punch Hole Here' on the.
top of the cans. For many. years
we have; on our good mornings,
dutifully: and carefully obeyed ii-
structions and punched the hole
'here.' And on the mornings when
we didn't feel so good, or were mad
at something or somebody, we'd
grab a can and punch the hole
where we doggone pleased. It was
fun to show our complete indepen-
dence by casting conventions to the
winds and'.just plain punching ....
Then in the spring, when we were
feeling plumb sassy, we'd flip the
can upside down and slap a hole in
the bottom of the can--f'n! But
not any more, for the can just sits
there with a bland and blank face,
frankly -telling you that it plain
don't give a whoop whether you
pdnch it, !beat it with an axe or
gnaw it open. ... Phooey."

Earth Temperature
While there is ample evidence
that the Earth's interior is hot, there
may be different estimates as to
the exact temperature. Probably it
is around 9,000 degrees F.

will be stationed with the marine

spend several days with his par-
ents before enlisting in 'the air

Just because you won Tuesday
doesn't mean you' don't have to
make a final report of what you
spent and where you got it.
The state attorney general has
ruled that the party nominees who
have opposition from another party
must start filing statements of ex-
penses and contributions as soon
as they have their official nomina-

to report does not stop, he said, un-

"This instruction can be more in-

Temkin. "Parents of prospective

Mr. and Mrs. H. J. Huntington of

Huntingtons, who are staying at
Hotel St. Joe, have been coming to
St. Joe for several years past, stat-
ing that they do so due to the ra-
riety of fishing, both salt and fresh
water, to be found here. Personally,
we're of the opinion that they done
got St. Joe sand in their shoes and
just can't stay.away.

VICTIM OF 'SPEED TRAP'

(Continued from page 1)
complaints that residents of th St.
Joe area were a target for discrimi-
nation by Braley," adding that the
constable "has shown particular
discrimination 'between my sup-
porters and those of my opponent
since the current campaign got un-
derway. A law enforcement officer
has a duty to the public to perform
and he certainly should not use his
authority to molest supporters of
his opposition."
Braley was reported to be a sup-
porter of Ben Williams of this city,
Tapper's opponent in the senatorial
race.
Braley, according to the Panama
City News-Herald, said he "would
welcome a visit from Governor
Warren's investigator," and would
open his record books to him at
any time.
According to the News-Herald,
Braley went on to say that "fur-
thermore, he will find that only
three persons from Gulf county
have been arrested by me since I
took office in January, 1950. One of
these three was William R. Tapper,
brother of Representative Tapper
from Port St. Joe. He was arrested
on February 17, 1952, on a charge
of driving while intoxicated."
Braley is said to have also de-
clared that from time to time since
the.'52, senatorial campaign got un-
derway, pressure had been brought
to bear on himn- "from sources
higher than that of Stgte senator"
6o support Tapper.' "This I con-
sistently refused to do," Braley is
asserted to have said. "Not that I,
have anything personal against
Tapper, but I consider this a free
country and I shall vote for whom.
I please."
It pays to advertise try it!


Convention' Delegates
To Be Voted On May 27
With the first primary out of the
way, decks are being cleared for
the struggle for delegates to the
Democratic national convention.
One slate, urged by former U. S.
Senator Claude Pepper, was nomi-
nally labelled for Richard B. Rus4
sell of Georgia, but Pepper himself
came out for Estes Kefauver just
before Tuesday's primary. Mayor
Jake Belip of this city will have
his name on the Russell slate.
The result for the coming 19 days
before the second primary May 27
will be a fight for control between
two groups of Democrats, neither
very clearly defined as to their in-
tentions in the national convention.
JEROME SHEIP DIES
AT APALACHICOLA
Jerome H. Sheip, 89, prominent
lumberman for many years in the
Apalachicola area and well known
in this city, died Wednesday of last
week at his home in Apalachicola.
Funeral services were held Thurs-
day afternoon from the Apalachi-
cola First Methodist Church with
Rev. Sidney H. White Jr,, officiat-
ing.

Wallpaper
When first used, wallpaper was
the poor man's tapestry. Later
wealthy people also, adopted it to
supplant the silk and velvet wall
hangings so popular in Europe un-
til the 1500's. The Chinese, who
were the first people to use paper,
were also the first to use it as a
wall decoration.

Unique Tourist Booth
Profits Georgia Village
SYLVANIA, Ga.-The small town
of Sylvania, which won third.place.
in last year's Home Town contest
sponsored by the Georgia Power
Company, is' out for top prices this
year.,
Ini its effort to capture the top
spot, the community is putting par-
ticular emphasis on tourist busi-
ness. A unique feature of the cam-
paign is a red brick tourist infor-
mation booth constructed at the
junction of two highways at a. cost
of $2,500. It is staffed by local po-
lice who give information to passing
tourists.
The building is equipped with
rest room facilities, a drinking foun-
tain, and is open 24 hours a day.
Other projects undertaken by the
community include new tourist
homes, a 32-bed hospital, a county-
wide health survey, and plans for a
bookmobile to be operated by the.
city library board for the benefit
of everyone in the county.

Wheels of Train Scatter
$10,000; Most Recovered
LAWRENCEVILLE, I11. Six-
teen thousand dollars scattered
over the landscape when a mailbag
was ground under the wheels of a
speeding train, w.s returned to
postal officials.
About 400 persons ran to the rail-
road yards and helped collect the
case, which was in ones, fives, tens
and twenties. One man turned in
about $1,400. A small boy took a
stack of bills home and told his
mother they fell from the sky. She
turned in the money.
A postal employee said about
$1,008 was missitig'from the $16,000.
but many bills were mutilated and
this might account for the missing
money.

Most people are befogged by fig-
ures, one kind or another.

No Closed Fishing

Season Next Year

After Hearing Interested Parties,
Game Commission Throws
Opep .All Waters

Following a hearing conducted
Monday in Panama City, the state
game and fresh water fish commis-
sion announced that there will be
no closed season on fresh water
fishing in Northwest Florida waters
next year.
Many persons at the Panama
hearing urged. continuation of the
closed season in future. The com-
mission's chief fisheries biologist,
John Dequin, recommended against
closing waters of the area, saying
that effect offishing during spawn-
ing season was negligible.
The Dead Lakes and Lake Wiih-
ico in Gulf county, and, Merritt's
Mill Pond and Ochessee Pond in
Jacksoncounty are now closed un-
til June 1.
A spokesman for Georgia and Al-
abama sportsmen asked the com-
mission to increase the number of
fish that can be taken from the
state from one day's limit to two.-
He asserted this district is the only
one making such a restriction.
A Liberty county fisherman pe-
titioned the commission to keep
slat baskets, legal for .catfishing'.:
Arguing for the closed season
were individuals from Bay, Jack-
son, Escambia, Wakulla and Lib-.
erty counties. Counties represented
favoring an open season were Wa-
kutlla, Leon, Madison and Washing-
ton. Apparently there 'wasn't. one
person from Gulf county sufficiently
interested in the matter to appear
before the commission.

St. Joe High, Sharks
Chalk Up Two Wins


The St. Joe Sharks defeated the
Blountstown high team 5-4 Tues-
day in a well-played ball game at
Centennial Field. Lamar Freeman,
ace Shark left-hander, held the Bucs
to three safeties, two of which were
of the scratch variety.
Benny Hudson, hustling back-
stop for the locals, had a good day
at the plate, garnering three hits
and driving in three runs.. Hildreth
Dunlap banged out two doubles and
a triple, the three-bagger almost
clearing the leftfield fence.
It is a matter of deep concern to
the Sharks that their star catcher,
Ed Creamer, broke a finger in prac-
tice and will be lost to the team
for the remainder of the season.
The Sharks routed the Carrabelle
Mullets' Tbursday afternoon of last
week 24-0. \ Billy Fred- Parrish, a
promising right-hander, turned in
the first shutout of the season for
the Shark :moundsmen. The entire
team hit the ball wellfand ran wild
on the bases in *posting the one-
sided win.

Good Paper Hitting

Stride After 50 Years

Publisher May Cash In His Chips,
But the Newspaper Will Go On
Serving lits Community

(Ed. Note-: The following was writ-
ten especially for the 50th anniver-
sary issue of the Newton (Iowa)
Daily News.)
Fifty years is a long time in the
life of a man.
In half a century a man can fall
victim to fallen arches, dyspepsia,
cynicism or delusions of grandeur.
Over that period he begins to feel
himself coming apart at the seams.
So do many governments, because
governments-like men-are sus-
ceptible to interior ailments.
But after 50 years a good news-
paper is just beginning to hit its
stride.
A newspaper, like the commun-
ity it reflects, is the sum of those
who make it--nd something more.
It has a vitality of its own. There
is no reason why good newspapers
and good towns should fail to grow
together endlessly, eve n though
those who make them must grow
old themselves and die.
The one thing a newspaper must
have to endure is freedom. Amer-
ica has had a free press ever since
its founding. That is the only rea-
son why today it has the greatest
press in the world.
It has been free for so long that
most people in this country take
their newspapers for granted. It
would come as a dramatic shock to
'them if some day they awoke to
find their newspaper could print
only items that had been approved
by a government censor.
Yet this is a daily fact to millions
of people living in dictator-ridden
countries. They are told exactly
what the dictator wants them to
know-and nothing more.
What is it like to live in such a
country? It is always to live in
doubt about :what is happening,
what really is: going on, not only in
your own country but in the rest
of the world. Truth and propaganda
become intertwined. Rumor- and<
gossip ride the land. The final re-
sult is that no sensible man can af-
ford to believe anything he reads.
or hears. All! he can ultimately be
sure of is how the dictator spells-
his name. .
In such countries newspapers that
try to remain free are ruthlessly
suppressed. A bought partisan press
'then voices, parrot fashion, any
nonsense those in power decree it-
shall print. This daily barrage-of
misinformation may stir the older
generation to rebellious disbelief,
but it twists to its own sinister pur-
pose younger minds growing up,
minds that never had a chance to
sift truth from falsity because they
never were exposed to truth.
A free world press is the only
real hope to world understanding;
a bought press is the greatest
barrier.
It is this liberty to tell the truth
that makes American newspaper-
men, by and large, so fiercely proud
of their craft. The mayor, the gov-
ernor,.i or the president can't tell
them: '"You print this-you don't
that." They write the news-as it
happens.
Often the best reporters are those
who refuse' o go to the big cities.'
They would rather make-their ca-
reers on newspapers in the. com-
munity of their choice. One of tlie
greatest, William Allen White, won
world fame in Emporia, Kan. It
proved a better springboard for
him than New York, Washington
or Chicago did for scores of his
contemporaries.
The size of a city has never 'teen
an index to the quality of its news-


papers-or of its newspapermen.
Some of the best have always been
located in small or medium-sized
communities.
; A man likes to feel that what
he has invested his life in is worth-
while-and will go on. Although
the average reporter doesn't spend
much time talking about it, that is
one of the privileges of newspa-
per work-it has continuity of life.
You may wear out, but the news-
paper will go on, serving its com-
munity.
All surveys today show that Am-
erican newspapers are of, higher
quality, are read more widely, than
ever before.- They probably will
continue to be, so long as they re-:
mdin free to be the voice of the
people.
