Owens and, in addition a number of scholarship awards, trophies and Even before the decision of the medals were handed out. supreme court was given,. the Lake Wimico & ,St. Joseph Canal Com- pany had been incorporated by the legislative council of Florida to connect the lake with the bay. Now the work was rapidly pushed. In May, 1935 parties were dispatched to explore the lake and, naturally, their reports were very favorable. Another party began sounding the -channel of the bay. At about the same time, surveyors started to lay out the new town, which was to be called St. Joseph. The plan of the place provided for wide streets "in order to give a free circulation to the sea breezes," which would make it healthy and salubrious. The streets were laid out at right angles and had such characteristic names as Bay, Commerce, Palmetto, Mag- nolia, Washington and Columbus. On June 13 the subscription books of the canal company were opened .at Apalachicola, and in a few min- utes the entire stock was taken. It is significant that the ApaiaLhi- colians held 'three-eighth, of' the stock, It-. ,tcj:'Le. ~a L i of-k *:'',us, Ga., another three-ie htlh. while re- mauling quarters were bought by Tallahasseeans.

We can readily imagine why t ey' were, interested. Their investments in Apalachicola were. threatened by the decision of the federal tribunal and hence their feelings were similar to those of the\residents of that city. The pur- chase of one-quarter of the stock by persons in Tallahassge proves that the venture was also a child of the economic conditions then pre- vailing over the, entire country. Period of Speculation This Was one of the recurring periods of intensive speculation and overdevelopment, which economists now recognize as one of the phases of a business cycle. Everywhere there was a wild orgy of real es- tate development, aided by cheap paper money issued by banks with enormous capitals. The chief finan- cial institution of Florida was the (Continued on page 5) -.----..4----.. Midnight Fire Destroys Beacon Hill Residence The Port St. Joe fire department was called to Beacon Hill at mid- night Saturday to fight a fire that completely destroyed the home of Mr. and Mrs. Loston Carter. Ori4in of the 'blaze is unknown. Mr. and Mrs. Carter were in We- wahitchka at the time. Part of the furniture was saved by neighbors, but $265 in cash was destroyed.,To- tal loss was set at approximately $4500. Due to the' co-operation of the St. Joe fire department and Beacon Hill and St. Joe residents, the fire was prevented from spreading to' adjoining houses.

Confessions of Four Solve Many Local Robberies 'Teenage Youths Admit To Entering Sixteen Estab- lishments of'City Chief of Police Buck .Griffin last week cleared up a large number of cases of breaking and entering in this city during recent months when he arrested four 'teenage youths who confessed to entering 16 business establishments. The four were Tommy Dobbs, 16; Marion Smith, 17; bon Davidson, 16, and Gerald Land, 16: Dobbs and Smith' were place under arrest Saturday and Davidson and Land were picked up Monday. The case was solved by Griffin after a revolver stolen from the St. Joe Hardware Company was iden- tified after it had been sold to Billy Rish, driver of one of the Guilford Dairy's milk trucks. Two other re- volvers and a blackjack were in possession of the boys, who were placed in the county jail and have been released on $500 bond each.

Fund, Are Awarded Total of $9000 Set Aside for Benefit of Eighteen Students in \ Four Schools In December of last year, the St. Joe Paper Co. set up a $20,000 fund for scholarships to be awarded to boys and girls of;employes of the company or its subsidiaries, both white and colored, who graduate from high school and desire to fur- ther their education. The fist of .these -scholarship awards were made Wednesday eve- ning at graduation exercises of the high.school when the names of 18 young men and women were an- nounced as having been selected by the committee named to admin- ister the fund, which is made up of Joseph V. Dowd, chairman, W. S. Quarles and Mrs. C. R. GArraway Jr. B. B. Scisson, principal of the high school, is an ex-officio member of the committee. Of the 18 awards made, six went to students already in colleges or universities, Harris Harvey, Myrtle Simpson, Sarah Philyaw and Mary McFarland, teaching; James Phil- yaw, general, and John Simpson, chemical engineering, all of whom are from this city. Other awards made in Port St. Joe were Velma Johnson, Betty Jo Tharpe and Amelia Durant, busi- ness and secretarial; Robert Gib- son, engineering; Moulton Free- man, ROTC-general, and William Quarles, general. Scholarships go- Ing to colored students of Port St. Joe were Naomi Gant, beauty cul- ture; Alonza Fennell, brick mason; Ernest Washington, carpenter, and Wiley H6pps, electrician. One scholarship went to Craw- fordville, Patricia Lambert, nurs- ing, and one tp Billy Frank Lester of.Wewahitchka, who plans to take a course in accounting. Value of the,18 scholarships was $9000, and Chairman Dowd states that the names' of two more stu- dents for out-of-state scholarships are being considered. Tuesday's Ballot Will Cointy Teachers 'Be Puzzle To Voters Get o Get Salary Boost Three Groups of Russell Delegates 50 To National Convention Will $1 Year Require Careful Study T ir y With three different groupings of Russell candidates for delegate to the national Democratic conven- tion, next Tuesday's ballot will pre- sent the worst puzzle in years- that is,. to Democratic voters; us Republicans won't have to worry since this is strictly a Democratic primary election. -On the ballot are nearly double the required number of delegates either pledged to or friendly to Richard B. Russell for president, including Mayor Jake Belin of Port St. Joe. In one combination the state Democratic executive com- mittee has announced its slate. In another, Jerry W. Carter, former national committeeman, has listed what he considers "true blue" Dem- ocrats who will stand hitched, and in still a third, Senator Russell himself has named those he prefers ,to see elected. 'Mayor Belin has received word from the state Democratic execu- tive committee that he is among the chosen for the Third District, along with Mrs. Beatrice Cawthon. State-at-large delegates are W. N. Coleman, C. Farris Bryant, Frank O. -Taylor Jr., and H. L. Mathis. Approved as female delegates are Mrs. J. D. Alderman, Mrs. M. B. Fuller, Helen M. Maser and 'Mrs. Edward:Van Wagenen.

Shirey is a patient at the municipal hospital this week. SFull Time Workers Appointed and Standing of Married Pupils Discussed Gulf county classroom teachers were granted a cost-of-living in- crease in salaries at the last regu- lar meeting of the county board of public instruction. The increase will be approximately $150 above pres- ent salaries. Many of the other counties of Florida had previously revamped their teacher salary schedules to provide cost-of-living increases, and action by the Gulf county board is good news for local teachers. The increased salaries will not become effective until the beginning of the next school term. Among other matters taken up by the board was that of adopting some, sort of policy in regard to students marrying and remaining. in school. After much discussion, the board decided to be governed by a letter Superintendent Owens had received from th& state depart- ment of education concerning the .legality of the board adopting some sort of policy. The letter stated that the statutes auhorize school boards to deter- mine and adopt 'suph policies as may be .:,.ri:-idere-i- ui-,-:..;s: by them to pr1idje r L hie euicient operation and general improvement of the county school system, but that such policies should not coh- flict with existing laws, pointing out that if a pupil is under 16 years of age there would be a conflict with the compulsory education law. The state department noted that the law is silent on the matter of married pupils attending school, and if a policy were adopted apply- ing to pupils 16 and above, the board might subject itself to a suit in the courts on constitutional grounds for abridgement of rights. The board re-appointed 'the fol- lowing full time workers in schools of the county: Marguerite Hardy, Anna B. Adams, Mrs. H. C. Harvey, Minnie G. Patterson, Essie Williams and iMyrtice Zipperer, lunchroom workers in the Port St. Joe elemen- tary schbol; Mrs. Pat Bray, Mrs. C. R. Smith and Ella Beard, lunchroom workers in the'Port St. Joe high school, and Mrs. C. F. Hanlon, Mrs. L. C. Joines and Mrs. Gordon Al- ford, lunchroom workers in the We- wahitchka high school.

The roughest, toughest, most unpredictable (and perhaps most significant) political fight in American history would seem to be coming up. The storm that has been rumbling for 20 years is about to bust. 'The ominous clouds are over us now, and thereds something more than heat-lightning to come. It will be thrilling to watch .. but kind of skeery, too. The forces of wrath are always ter- rible in action. Somebody always gets hurt. And it could be all of us. We are referring, of course, to the forthcoming presidential campaign. Trouble with a man and his wife living as one, they can't decide which one. Now is the time of the year when the "dear peepul" are dear to the hearts of the politicians. From the Files of The Star .

Consider Closing Coast Roads The state defense council, meet- iug in' Tallahassee tomorrow, will take under consideration the mat- ter of closing all Atlantic and Gulf coastal highways to driving after dark. The action, if taken, will be to prevent the silhouetting of ves- siels by car lights, making them. visible to any possible lurking sub- marines, two of which are known to be in the Gulf at present. No Synthetic Rubber for Civilians Residents of St. Joe are warned not to be misled by reports that synthetic rubber production will soon provide new tires for joy-rid- MUGWUMPS NEEDED (Reprinted from the Cleveland Plain Dealer) What this country needs in November is a great army of mugwumps. Webster defines a mugwump as "a bolter from the Republican party in the national election of 1884; hence an independent in politics." The definition also goes on to say that "the bolters in 1884 were charged with regarding themselves as superior to their party in character and intelligence, and were called mugwumps." But today the definition of a iugwump would be "a bolter from the so-called Democratic party, which is no more like the Democratic party of old than day is like night." One would not be required to possess too ex- emplary a character to feel superior to the pres- ent Democratic party and the present adminis- tratipn, which has-been riddled with special priv- ilege and downright crime. One would not have to be a mastermind to feel superior in intelli- gence to an administration which has botched almost everything it has undertaken. It will be very. easy this November to be a mugwump. Your friend (he ain't ours) Harry Truman of Missouri will be a delegate to the Democratic national convention, it is reported, and will be the first president of the United States ever to sit down onfthe floor under a state banner. He will make a speech before the nominee is se- lected, but it won't be the keynote speech. Pre- sumably 'he'will nominate the Fair Deal as a companion and guide to his successor. .Of Course, if they should start shouting "We want Harry!" you can't tell' what might happen!

With its large appar- ent assets any project which inter- ested its stockholders was bound to be a success, even if temporary and .fictitious. The interest of the banks in.St. Joseph is often brought to light Thus in 1836 it was claimed that the :presidents of the Union Bank of Florida, .of the Bank of Columbus, and of the Commercial Bank of Ap- ,alachicola and the ex-president of the Bank of Marianna, were finan- cially interested in the town. In the same year Ben Chaires, a banker and planter of Tallahassee, was president of the Lake Wimico & St. Joseph Canal and Railroad Com- pany. This. close connection be- twgen the banks and the town must always be remembered by those who wish to understand its history. Railroad Started The next steps taken by the pro- 'moters were the. construction of a railroad from Lake Wimico to the bay and the erection of terminal fa- ,cilities at both ends. Towards the close of October, or at the very be- ginning of November, 1935, it was reported that 100 carpenters and 20.0 laborers were employed on the railroad and. :at tao or three hun. dried imoreo- wer'e daily expected from the north. The exabt date of completion of the railroad is not known, but in an advertisement dated August 13, 1836: it was announced that the storage houses and wharf on Lake Wimico were completed, that those on the bay were almost finished and that the railroad, with passenger and freight cars and two improved Baldwin locomotives, was ready for work. Formal opening of the new road probably occurred on Monday, Sep- tember 5, 1836, for the newspapers of Florida and Georgia given an ac- counts of the events of that day thus: LOCOMOTIVE'S IN FLORIDA On Monday, th' 5th inst., a Lo- comotive drawing a train of 12 cars containing upwards of 300 passengers passed over the rail- road: connecting the flourishing town of St. Joseph with the Ap- alachicola River. The trip, a dis- tance of eighth miles, was per- formed in the short space of 25 minutes. The engineer is confi- dent, from the superiority of the road and engine, that the route can be .'accomplished in eight minutes.

This bill for government at all levels amounted to 31% of the total earnings and income from all sources of the people of Florida in 1951. In other words, 31c out of every dollar you earned went to government. The 1951 government-cost total included internal revenue collec- tions of $514,006,933; an estimated $170,000,000 in "hidden" federal taxes< $227,287,159.in state taxes; $88,535,409 in county taxes, and $65,494,500 in municipal taxes. The comparable 1950 full tax, to- tal is reported as being virtually $170,000,000 below last year's fig- -ure (if that's any consolation to ydu). Compared with 1940, the 1951 total is greater by 503% while the income of Floridians increased but 289%. The increase in taxes since 1940 has 'been accompanied by a grow- ing proportion of taxes paid to the federal government. In 1940 fed- eral revenue collections and "hid- :den" taxes accounted for a little over one-third of all taxes paid in Florida. Last year the federal gov- ernment's share of the total tax; "take" was 64%. State taxes made up 21%, and local taxes 15% of the total.

Odham Speaks Here Briefly Wednesday Outlines Proposed Project To Four- Lane All Main Highways of Florida Devoting but 15 minutes to a talk here-Wednesdsay afternoon, Brailey Odham, candidate for governor of Florida, failed to take any verbal cracks at his opponent, Dan Mc- Carty, but did pass out pamphlets showing wJieie McCarty was 'way off the beam. He told' of his proposed project for four-laneing all main highways of the state, including Highway 98, and stated that 'the estimated cost of $372,000,000 could be paid off over a period of 30 years by setting aside two cents of the state gas tax. "This project could be worked out on this plan and by eliminating the slush and graft that now goes on, in our.roaid construction," he said. And while on this-subject Odliam said that state contracts are not put up for competitive bidding, but that if he is elected governor he will see to it that all bids- will be on ,a competitive basis. "Just be- cause a man'ffIs a member of the legislature is ho reason for him to get state contracts without bid- ding," he added.' In replying to a question in re- gard to the state sales tax, Odham said that thd 'tax is not fair, but that it is here to stay, "but if I am elected I can assure you that it will not be raised and that there will be no tax on the food you eat nor on the first $10 worth of cloth- ing you purchase." ---?--~------~ Visit in Lake City Mother's Day Mr. and Mrs. A.
