Dock and Slip At White Real Histor y of -.. ... _ City For Use of Public Road Department States Facility Is Being Used As Private Anchor- age and Fee Charged for Use Representative George G. Tapper informs us that a certain party at White City has been claiming the slip and dock at the canal bridge as his private property and has been charging people for use of the facility. "I have worked on this for some time' with the state road depart- ment," said George, "and I would appreciate it if The Star will ad- vise the public that they should not pay any individual for the use of this boat landing." G. L. Dickenson of Chipley, dis- trict engineer for the state road de- ment, wrote S. D. Hall of Panama City, maintenance engineer for this area, as follows in regard to the situation: "When the White City bridge was built in 1947 the road department constructed a slip for small boats on the west side of the highway north of the canal, and also con- structed a small wooden dock along the east side of the slip. "It has been brought to my at- tention that an individual is using this for a private boat anchorage and is requiring people to pay a fee for the privilege of tying up their boats. Please have a large substantial sign prepared and in- stalled at this location advising the public that this is a public boat anchorage." S -L-------4--,---i->- Open House Saturday At Cape San Blas.

Old St. Joseph Began In 1835 Dissatisfaction With Original Land Company Led To Founding of City (Editor's Note: This is the first of a series of articles on the old city of St. Joseph from an article writ- ton by James O. Knauss for the Florida Historical Societ& and pub- lished in The Star in -1938. Each article will be related to the pre- ceeding one and the entire series, when completed, will give an ac- curate history of the rise and de- cline of the ancient city.) Florida has a number of places within her borders that were once the sites of flourishing settlements of which nothing remains at the present time except overgrown; ruins. None of the others that flour- ished since the beginning of the- American occupation of the state equal in human interest and his- torical importance the town of St. Joseph, located on the bay of the same name, a short distance west of the Apalachicola River. Here there occurred one of the most stirring fights made by man in a courageous but futile effort to surmount overwhelming natural and human obstacles. A study of the struggle reveals many important events in the state's history. Here the first steam locomotive in Flor- ida: was- operated; "irO'bhaf'iy t; first (surely the second) railroad. of the region .led to the town; the first .and only constitutional con- vention in territorial lays was lVld here; and the -first important rep- ortorial work by Florida journalists was done in connection with this meeting. In addition to these pioneer events, a consideration of the town's his- tory sheds light on the economic conditions of the Apalachicola re gion (extending into Georgia and Alabama) in the late thirties, and early forties of the nineteenth cen- tury; on 'the financial outlook of the territory during this period, and on the political problems en- gaging the attention of the inhabit- ants. It would, therefore, seem well worthwhile to sketch the circum- stances surrounding the growth and decline of St. Joseph. History of Town Began In 1835 The real history of the town may be said to begin on March 17, 1835, when the supreme court of the United States gave an unanimous decision in the case of Colin Mitch- ell et al, vs. the United States. This case was concerned with the ques- tion of t'he ownership of 1,250,000 acres of land in Middle Florida.

Our Country i Right or Wrong PSYCHOLOGISTS AT WORK The treasury department check-writers are' working fast and furiously to catch up on income tax refunds, now about 3,900,000 checks behind last year's schedule. Some 8,000,000 checks were mailed in April and it is expected that 9,000,000 will go out in May. It it's any comfort to you, this year's refund checks average nearly $10 more than last year's, andare expected to total $2,100,000,000 as com- pared with a flat two billion last year. But to us the whole procedure is not only silly and expensive, but downright vicious, a sig- nificant item in the overall Fair Deal Socialism. Deny the salary or wage-earning taxpayer the right to pay his own taxes in a respectable, re- sponsible way with his own money. Take it away from him before he gets it by making his boss a federal tax collector without compensation. Then give him back the small change and maybe the guy will think the government is wonderful! The worst of it is, the idea seems to work. ... When you get back a piece of'something you never had, it's like finding it! SSeems we've heard on-ie\~hl-re th;at there's a reason for everything. Wondei- if that covers -nrn-iinkht-; WHY BE AFRAID? That lead editorial we carried May 2 headed "Which Candidate Are We For?" in regard to the gubernatorial campaign, brought in a lot of comment from our readers, mainly "Aren't you sort of afraid to come out like that? We'd be afraid of making enemies, losing some friends or losing our job." No, we're ndt afraid to come out and tell ex- actly where we stand. We would have taken a definite stand on our local state senator and rep- resentative races, not to mention tlhe county com- missioner set-tos and the tax assessor races, but all of these folks we believe we can count as our friends, and we didn't want to hurt their feelings. Practically all of them, we believed, were honest and sincere, and while we definitely had made our selections as to whom we would cast our ballot for,'that was our business. Had there been any idea in our mind that any of the candidates were dishonest or had some ulterior motive in their mind, we would have openly opposed them. But to get back to that being afraid. There seems to be too much of that sort of thing today. People are becoming afraid to think freely. They shrink from expressing viewpoints they think by some turn of events may prove unwise at some future date. They prefer, instead, to play it safe. It has been brought to our attention that dur- ing last week's election two persons, one a man on a stretcher and the other a woman in a wheel- chair, had to practically force election officials to allow them to cast their ballots, the officials maintaining that no one could go into the vot- ing booth with them. This seems to have been a case of a little authority going to the head. There are exceptions to all rules, and particularly when it comes to voting, for every American citizen has the right, which cannot be denied him by even the highest tribunal of the land, to express his or her opinion at the polls. Let us hope that no such incident will occur in the future. About the only way 'a bachelor' makes a good husband is jealous. SHOWDOWN IN KOREA?

'When the last returns were tal- lied last week, Bailey found he was in third place, 12 votes behind Lu- cius Pelt. Marion Knight led the ticket for representative.

Douglas fir region forests, has proven its value with a record of fifty years of durability, versatility: and beauty. REAL HISTORY (Continued from page 1) lie & Company, starting activities in Florida when England had pos- session of the territory between 1763 and 1784, had later obtained per- mission of the Spanish government to purchase this large tract of land from the Indians in order to indem- nify the company for losses suf- fered. This transaction with the na- tives was completed by a series of treaties between 1804 and 1811. When Florida became a territory of the United States, the question of the legality of these purchases arose. After litigation extending over a period of seven years, first in .the superior court of Middle Florida and then in the supreme court of the United States, a de- cision was made, as stated above, by he 'latter tribunal in favor of the successors of Panton, Leslie & Company. In the 14 years of American sov- ereignty over Florida before the case was finally adjudicated, immi- grants had settled in the disputed area, apparently without paying any attention to claims of the company. The chief settlement in the con- tested district was Apalachicola, of whose history prior to 1835 very little is known. Its location at the mouth of the Apalachicola River seemed to insure a great future for the infant town, since the stream appeared destined to become the main commercial outlet for the rich cotton district of Western Georgia and Eastern Alabama. The enthusi- astic settlers probably dreamed of a city that would rival New Or- leans. In 'May, 1833, a newspaper, "The Advertiser," sure sign of a boom in those days, was started by R. Dinsmore Westcott. Commerce increased so rapidly that 40,00 bales of cotton were shipped from the harbor in 1835, and numerbis steamers plied up and down the river. Suggest Founding of New Town The bustling, thriving and opti- mistic Apalachicolians were not in- clined to pay- tribute to the people to whom the United States Supreme Court had allotted the land. They looked about for a way to escape supporting the Apalacicola Land Company, an organization started by the successors of Panton, Leslie & Company, and yet not lose, the profitable trade of the region. Somebody suggested the found- ing of a rival town on St. Joseph's Bay, some 28 miles' to the north- west. Since Apalachicola was at tlhe extreme western limit of the Forbes Purchase, the new settlement would not be within the jurisdiction of the hated company. It was, how- ever, located in such close proxim- ity to the river that the enthusias- tic malcontents believed they could divert the stream's commerce and thus ruin the old town'. The project vas one that might have made reasonable men in more normal times hesitate. It was not only a question of erecting a new town, with wharves and other trad- Ceramic and Glazed TILE Expert Workmanship Come In and See Our Display of Samples DOSSAT TILE CO.

A bayou, called Lake Wimico, ex- tended from the river to within a distance of eight miles from the proposed city. This lake, .it-was be- lieved,,would furnish an easy pass- age for steamers, after some dredg- inig had been done. The intervening land could be crossed either by a canal or a railroad. In addition to these obstacles there also seemed some doubt whether the bay was deep enough for ocean vessels. How- ever, the promoters were undaunted and began the most remarkable un- dertaking that Florida had seen up to that time, or was destined to see for' many, years to come.

The visitors were weak in this department, using four or five moundsmen during the course of the game. The first three Oystermen to bat went out one-two-three and St. Joe scored one run in the first on an error when Leonard Belin hit to the shortstop. Wilson was caught at second on the force but a wild throw to first by Cooper allowed Bennie. Burke to scamper home from third. Apalachicola tied the score in the second when, with two out, Harmon was handed a walk, went to second on a balk by Meharg and crossed the plate on Maxwell's liner which bounced over the head of Bucky Walters at short. The Oystermen made It 5-1'in the third on a single, a walk and three two-base hits. In the sixth the Oystermen again scored one on an infield blooper by Cooper who went to second on an overthrow to first and came home after Bahkster was walked and Bennefield singled to 'center. The Saints made it 9 to 8 in the last of the sixth. Burke took his second walk when hit by a pitched ball, Wilson stretched a two-bagger to three bases on the throw from left field to the plate which caught Burke for the first out. Mitchell In the fourth the Saints tied it was handed a free pass, after which up when Walters, and "Fish" Her- ring singled, Meharg placed a liner down the first 'base line to bring in Walters, Burke was hit for a walk to load the bases, Wilson hit thru short to bring in Herring and Me- harg and Burke came home after the catch of Tom Mitchell's. long fly to right field. Not to. be outdone, the visitors cami back for two in the top of the fifth on a two-bagger by Bank- ster and singles by Bennefield and Grantham. Belin singled to drive in Wilson. Bert Cox' was safe at first on a high fly to right field, but was out at second on the force as Walters hit through, short, but Mitchell and Belin came home on the play. Jim- mie Adams. Saint backstop, singled to place Walters on third, and Her- ring drove in Walters with a neat single to left field. Bobby Howell relieved Cotty -Ten- dels on the mound in the seventh and was nicked for singles by Wil- son and Mitchell and a two-bagger by Belin, Wilson coming in, on Be- lin's bingle to make the score 10-8. The bottom of the eighth was a heartbreaker for Apalachicola, as St. Joe shoved seven runs across the plate. The visitors started the disastrous frame with Miller on the mound, a Brooklyn boy who is sta- tioned at Cape San Blas. He was replaced after giving up four hits and walking two men to let four Saints cross the plate. The Saints were aided in making these runs by costly errors by Apalachicola. Bert Cox, right fielder accounted for two of the counters on a long single to left field. The Apalachicola rooters present took heart and shouted lustily in the top of the ninth when a last- minute rally was started with a single by Harmon and a two-base hit, by Maxwell, Harmon crossing the plate when the pitcher was safe on a wild throw to first. After Billy Howell flied out to Walters, Max- well came in from third on Perry's slow roller down the first base line, Perry -being out. Cooper singled to right and Bankster singled to left to bring in Howell for the third run. Wagner was handed a walk by MoDaniel and the game ended as Harmon flied out.

O. An- lerson and Robert Bellows of this city, who are members of the Dis- trict 2 welfare board. Grants for the aged have been continuously paid at the maximum provided in federal and state requirements. Revised laws and regulations af- fected many persons receiving as- sistance. The expanded old age and social security programs probably resulted in many no longer needing public assistance and stricter reg- ulations and legal requirements were responsible for others no longer being on the rolls, making additional funds available for those meeting requirements, they said. May grants are 'being increased to the maximum allowed by law- but still are short of actual needs in many instances, the board mem- bers said. A widow, for instance, with no other income or living re- source and with three young child dren, obviously would need more than $63 a month, although that is the maximum which can be granted through the welfare department. The increases were based on ac- tion of the state welfare board, which some time ago approved grants up to the legal maximum for the biennium as funds became available.. ----- ------ Entertain Students At House Party Mr. and Mrs.B.

The bureau reported over one million small town families spend more than three billion dollars annually in retail buy- ing. The report, 25th in a series of state studies, shows 1,096,100 families in New York living in places of less than 10,000 popula- tion. The net spendable income of these ron-city families is $5,218,779,000 a year, accounting for $3,373,637,000 in annual retail sales.

Petunias Border This Front Walk. Foundation plantings of ever- greens, which were the conventional treatment.in front yards throughout .America for twenty years prior to World War II, are now conceded to be out of fashion. Sunshine and flowers are being returned to front yards from which they were so long excluded by over- planting. Modern houses with their picture windows and complete ab- sence of visible foundations, do not require a continuous band of green to conceal a high foundation and ."tie the house to the ground" as the landscape designers used to say. They get down to ground level and seek to unite indoors and outdoors in one area of comfortable and pleasant living space. To relieve the appearance of the house from bareness, a frame about it is desirable. This is now being supplied in mpst cases by flowers, with a' few shrubs or evergreens used as accents at the house cor- ners, where two walls meet, and at, similar focal points. Annual flowers are extensively -used to border walks, and at the base of the house walls. Flowers do not produce shade, but require sun- shine to make them grow. There is a wide selection of dwarf growing, compact and bushy annuals which: are suitable for, tew, ctlorfl bor- ders, which present a gay' picture bdth to passerby, and those who look out the picture window. Illustrated is a curving wal-k, planted with a border of petunias. These are of-a large flowered, single fringed variety. They will bloom all summer, without the necessity of picking off faded blossoms, because this type of petunia does not pro- duce much seed. unless pollen is spread in the blossoms by hand. An- nual flowers will continue to flower until they produce-seed; which 's the reason faded flowers of mos: varieties should be picked ofl, be- fore shed forms. Seed catalogues list hundreds o' annual flowers, including all the colors of the spectrum, which can be used for front yard flower gar- dens. Zinnias and marigolds, which next to petunias are the, most popu- lar of all, have a surprising number of forms and colors which will serve this purpose. Asters, of all colors except yellow, blue ageratum and anchusa, white and purple alys- sums, garden pinks and carnations. the annual coreopsis which is listed as calliopsis, calendulas, sky-blue cynoglossum, blue lobelia, nastur- tiums, pansies, violas, annual ph.ox, salvias, red and blue, and verbena;s, all serve excellently to provide color in the front yard. Striking effects can be achieved by using a color 4cheme;which har- monizes with li!.-. .ouse and plant- ing flowers in na-.-zes ,.i Oe color, so that each rn-i st a rn j out in har- monious contract with the others. You'l Be Free From Taxes Next Monday By Then You Will Have Earned Sufficient In 1952 for Local, State and Federal Levies "National Tax Freedom Holiday" -th-e first day this year on which a man can call a dollar his own- falls on next Monday. May 19. All the average American has earned from January 1 to May 19 he must pay out in taxes-local state and federal. This is merely another way of saying that' our overall tax load has increased to the point where it now takes 38 cents out of every dollar we earn. Out of each hour we work, the pay for 23 minutes is taken by government, in direct and hidden imposts. The situation calls to mind the concession to freedom granted Prussian serfs centuries ago--their masters allowed them to work for themselves two days out of each week. . 'Never before have Americans had to work for more than four and a half months to pay their taxes. In 1920 they began working for them- selves on February 26. By 1940 the date had advanced to March 27. In 1951 "National Tax Freedom Holi- day" was observed on April 28, with formal recognition by con- gress, in a concurrent resolution of senate and house. In 1951, when local, state and federal taxes were taking 32 cents out of each dollar the average Am- erican earned,/ the concurrent reso- lution of congress provided that 'Tax Freedom Holiday" be symbol- ized as a day of relief throughout the land with "such demonstrations as may seem appropriate, including a prayer for deliverance." This year, more effective and vigorous congressional action is anticipated. Believe it or not, but-you people of Port St., Joe now pay more money for taxes than for all the food you eat. Mussolini took 40% Phone 238 of his people's income. Hitler took 50%. Stalin is taking 70%. All of the income of all of the people in all states. west of the Mississippi River won't be enough to pay the bills of the federal government alone as budgeted for the year ahead.
