PORT ST. JOE A Progressive Community With a Modern, -Progressive Weekly Newspaper THE STAR THE STAR Published In Port St. Joe But Devoted To the Con- tinued Development of Gulf County "ParSt Joe The lOuitt Port for thle Apalachicola-C-hattattho chee Valley" I VOLUME XV Single Copy Sc PORT ST. JOE, FLORIDA FRIDAY, MAY 30, 1952 $3.00 Per Year NUMBER 36 Old St. Joseph Is Incorporated and Paper Established Effort Made To Move County Seat From Apolachicola To New Town (Third of a series of articles on the rise and decline of the old city of St. Joseph.) While the railroad was being com- pleted, the promoters were not idle in other directions. The shoals' at the mouth of Lake Wimico were re- moved and the channel widened. The sale of the lots of the new town was, announced for December 14, 1835. The settlement was incorpor- ated by an act of the legislative council of 1836. This provided for the establishment of a free school, for the support of the port, for the regulation of taverns, markets and quarantine, in addition to prescrib- ing the form of government. .The Bank. of St. Joseph, -with a capital of $1,000,000, and the-St. Joseph Insurance Company, with a capital of the same amount, were also incorporated by this session of 'the council. It must be added, how- ever, that both of these enactments were annulled in July of 1836 by: the United States Congress. First Issue of Newspaper. The necessity for advertising for the successful development of the new enterprise was not forgotten. 'Ithehome office of itbh publiciry de- -partment was appfrenily The Ao- vertiser of Apalailficola, -till in tbe hands, of R. Dinsniore Westcott.. In November, 1835, he issued tle first number of the St. Joseph Telegraph, although he probably still had his publication office in Apalachicola. Sooil afterwards the two papers were merged, if indeed the old jour- nal was not permanently suspended before the new one appeared. Some time before March 10, 1836, The Telegraph was moved to St. Joseph. Westcott and his superiors were extremely energetic in adver- tising the town, and it must be ad- mitted, their rival, the 'Apalachi- cola Land Company, was just as in- dustrious in decrying it, with the result that every Florida newspaper ,of the period and many in. adjacent states were filled with material re- lating to the enterprise. SSo many communications poured in on the editor of The Floridian at, Tallahassee that he gave notice he would publish no articles about Ap- alachicola and St. Joseph except as paid advertisements. Before the end of July, 1836, Westcott was super- seded by Peter W. Gautier Jr., a man whose name was destined to become so closely allied with St. Joseph in the popular mind that whenever people spoke of the one they also thought of the other. Gautier was the best stylist among the newspaper men of the terri- tory; he was keen, shrewd and de- cidedly hot over-scrupulous. His pa- per, the name of which he changed to the St. Joseph Times in Novem- ber, 1836, became the most quoted sheet in Florida, chiefly because of (Continued on page 5) Visitors From South Carolina Mr. and Mrs. Joe TriDp and son Welch of Denmark, S.

O. An- derson and Robert Bellows of this city, members of the board.' A number of possibilities for as- sisting children are offered through the program. The welfare depart- ment is required to assume full re- sponsibility for .planning for the runaway child's return and for de- termining the best home plan for him. Sometimes it may be better for the child not to'-be returned to his home, the community from which he.came, or. to relatives, and there the welfare department will have to work out some other ar- ranngemenit. Funds can be used only after every other possible source has been exhausted. Par- ents, relatives and agencies in the child's home community have the -first responsibility. The age limit of children running away from their Florida home and found within the state who can be helped through the program is 18 years. Under the federal law, where an inter-state problem exists, the 'age limit is 16 years. The entire program is designed to strengthen the ties between run- away children and their families. and homes, or to provide some suit- able living arrangement for the child, the local board members con- cluded. SPORTSMANSHIP AWARDS (Continued from page 1) bers of the senior class Individual Imedallion awards are made to a boy and a girl selected by their fellow students. An attrac- tive sportsmanship plaque for per- manent display also goes to each participating school. Space is pro- vided on the plaque for engraving the names of the two students se- lected each year by the school. 'Emphasis is placed on sports- manship in its wider educational aspects, including activities in the school room, on the athletic field and playground, in the school com- munity, in the' immediate home en- vironment and in the church and home community.

Our Country Right or Wrong TODAY IS MEMORIAL DAY Today is Memo ial Day, and we pause to honor the men who, in their own minds, have .died to defend noble causes. Men who have thus died have not passed in vain. They have died as brave men, and it is:proper that we should honor them' Memorial Day is an outgrowth of the War Between the States and was first observed na- tionally in 1868 by the Grand Army of the Re- public. Time passed! and the Mexican War, the Spanish-American War, World War I and World War II took their toll of American manhood, and their graves were decorated on Memorial Day. And today our American youth are again fight- ing the battle of freedom in Korea and the names -of those who fall in this "undeclared" war, will go on the ever-lengthening Memorial Day roster. Throughout the world today, from the small ,country burying ground to minagnificent Arlington National Cemetery, are the graves of men who have fought, bled and died, for noble causes and ideals.: They have died that -we might live in -unity and peace. and to us-theli\ irn -is charged the responsibility) ot carln ing on those causes ind ideals and living in unity among ourselves and' striving to live in peace with other nations. Let us stri\ c to carry on so that they shall not have died in \ain. -. AAryway,' the race for governor was a liim- dinger and apparently, from the vote, the best' man won. Minutes of Boad of Public Instruction Wewahitclhka,: Florida o May 13, 1952 The Board of Public Instruction, Gulf County, Florida, met on the above date in regular session, with the following members Present and acting: Fennon Talley, chair- man; James H.

The superintendent informed '/the board ,that he hail I~ien requested'to bring before them the p:.-il.hit.i of the board adopting a policy concerning pupils marrying and re- maining in school. After much discussion the board decided to be governed by a letter the superintendent had received from the state. department of education concerning the le- gality of the board adopting such a policy. 'The letter is as follows: ' "Section 230.22 (1), (2), Florida Sta- tutes, authorizes school boards to determine and' adopt such policies as may be con- sidered necessary by them to provide'for the efficient operation and general improvement of the county school system. "Such'policies, of course, should not con-. flict *with .eitcnr lur, II a pupr-l under ieer,. '. i .I'5T -.f age mnCer- s.Aoui. be a conflict with'the c(onpul3. r.il e.tai.:.r, law: (Sec. 232.01). : "Both laws and" state board regulations are silent. on',the matter of married pupils attending school: Even if such a policy were made applying only to pupils sixteen and above, the board might subject itself to a init in the court of law on -constitutional grounds for abridgement of rights. An added 'ground might he 'ri: influence.'of custom. unless pupils are guilrI of grave misconduct or persistent violation of established rules (see Section 230.28 (8-d)) there is a serious doubt if the' policy referred to could lbe successfully' defended. It is not known if there is any adjudication in other states .covering your question. There is apparently none in Florida." I The, board' adopted a-salary scale granting in cl'ir.:.om rel-h.'r- a salary increase of ,,ppr..,mt~-l,1 5.li,,r above the annual in- .:remeont Upon the 'recommendation of the trustees 'the board appointed Wilson Holiday and THE STAR, PORT ST. JOE, GULF COUNTY, FLORIDA BUY A POPPY "In Flanders fields the poppies grow." Thus runs a line from the immortal poem of'Colonel McRae. Poppies did grow in Flanders fields, and the scarlet flowers but reflected the blood of those who fought and bled for an ideal. Most of the fighting was in vain and the ideal sank behind the horizon of the world like the setting sun when the war was over, but the suffering and misery occasioned by that conflict did not die with the last whine of a shell across no-man's land. It goes on year after year, in humble homes, in hospitals-wherever victims of World Wars I and II live, and exist upon the bare necessities of life while a nation eager for gold and gain forgets that men ever suffered and died' for an intangible something to make the world safe for democracy. SToday the ladies of the American Legion Aux- iliary, assisted by the Girl Scouts, will be on the streets of Port St. Joe offering scarlet poppies for sale. The little flowers made by disabled vet- erans will mean little in the lives of the average civilian, but they are emblematic of the sacri- fice, the suffering and misery of battlefields which left in their wake not only the dead buried in Flanders fields, but men broken in health and relegated to the ranks of those unable to carry on in life equally, with their comrades whose health was unimpaired in the service of their country. Returns from the sale of the poppies will be 'used to aid needy ex-servicemen and their fam- ilies, but there is still much to be done by way of providing some of the things in life which have been denied because of war disability or subsequent disability. To buy a poppy today is a sincere and kindly gesture for those who have suffered because of service to their country, and their loved ones who, are standing by through adversity and de- spair, hoping and praying for brighter days. You can make the days brighter for someone by giv- ing as much as you can in the purchase of a poppy today. One cynical excuse is gi %en for 'extending the price and wage control law and presenting OPS with a new lease on life. It is that this is politic- ally expedient, partic~Alrly in a general election year. when most of our alleged: statesmen are leaning over backwards trying to please all the voters and alienate none.

The regulations permit those who have registered for sugar ration books to receive additional sugar for canningnot to exceed one pound for each four quarts of finished canned fruits. They may also receive one pound per person per year for the purpose of making jams, jellies, preserves and fruit butters. -----------. OLD ST. JOSEPH (Continued from page 1) his wit and cleverness. Try To Secure County Seat ,When men of prominence and in- fluence engage in a costly under- taking and eriter into such bitter rivalries as did the Apalachicola Land Company and the promoters of St. Joseph, the scene of action will almost inevitably be at times transferred to the political arena. The "Saints," as they were popu- larly called, immediately attempted to retard the development of ihe old town through legislative enact- ment. With the representative, E. J. Wood of Franklin county, which at that time included in its boundaries the two towns, taking the lead, a pill was rushed through the legisla- tive council of 1836 removing the county seat from Apalachicola to St. Joseph. This was undoubtedly a case of "cast-iron nerve" on the part of the Saints, for the construc- tion of their town had hardly begun 4t the time when the law was ap- proved on January 17, 1836. But alas! Sometimes fortune does not' favor the bold. The national congress annulled the law.

White, the territorial delegate to congress, who'was interested in the Apalachicola Land Company, being one of the trustees appointed to sell its lands. White did everything in his power to thwart the growth of St. Joseph. The attempt of 1836 was not the last one to remove the seat of county government from Apalachicola. The bill was re-enacted in 1837 with the following rather caustic preamble:- "Whereas, the Legislative Council of the Territory of Florida at the last session upon a petition of the inhabitants of Franklin County S. .enacted and declared the City of St. Joseph to be the public site of said county; and, whereas, the COMFORTER FUNERAL HOME 24-HOUR AMBULANCE SERVICE S Phone 326, Day or Night 601 LONG AVENUE Port St..

Porter in "The Jo- setta Memorial Histories of Apalachicol:(." records this, and many other such graphic tales of yesterday. This article is published in The Star through the courtesy of Mrs. Porter, a resident of our fair city. This ar- ticle is from a copy of The Times dated February 1, 1902.) The Apalachicola Northern Railroad We have noticed in the newspa- pers that there is "a well defined rumor" that the above railroad, pro- jected from Apalachicola to River Junction, 'will be built in the near .future. And this "well defined ru- mor" places the distinguished name of Col. John M. Egan-, former presi- dent of the Central of Georgia rail- road, as being interested in and "be- hind the enterprise." And Col. Egan's name has usually been the synonym of success in ev ery railorad enterprise and achievement with which it has been connected. What the completion of this en- terprise means for the present good and ultimate success of Apalachi- cola as a great commercial port, every citizen' has been long well aware. With the plans already in progress for the deepening of our harbor, which will be doubly accel- erated by the certainty of the com- pletion of the railroad, no one can for a moment doubt that our town will at once enter upon a period of new life and prosperity. In the olden times, Apalachicola was the third cotton port of the gulf, receiving and shlippifi over 200000'balesi annually. Then our wharves were piled with cotton, our compresses at work, giving em- ployment to all who desired to la- bor. Watdr street was alive with industry: incoming and .,ut.- 'i, river steamibodr IUL- (i..iuil I- .. loading and' 'in.l'aing rh r.i nii :l, - ing bells and hoarse whistles, add- ing life and zest to the busy com- mercial scene. And those good, old days will come again. The opening, of this new railroad and its attendant op- portunities for business prosperity, and individual thrift and enterprise will enliven the old town and cause it to 'outstrip the:days of its ancient splendor. Therefore, let us "stare fate in the face" with renewed en- ergy and hopes that are bound to be realized. Visiting In California Mr. and Mrs. T. G. Alsobrook left this week for Lemon Grove, Calif., to visit their son and family, Mr. and Mrs. Ben Alsobrook.
