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 "Port St. Joe -The Outlet'Port or the Aplaciiicdla-GhafttahocheeValley" VOLUME XV Single Copy 8c PORT ST. JOE, FLORIDA FRIDAY, JUNE 13, 1952 $3.00 Per Year NUMBER 38 Tense Excitement In Ancient City As Convention Opens Outlook Dark At Times for Successful Completion of Historic Document (Fifth of a series of articles on the rise and decline of the old city of St. Joseph.) We can imagine the tense excite- ment of the Saints as Monday, De- cember 3, 1838, the day set for open- ing of the convention, approached. When the delegates from East and Middle Florida arrived from St. Marks on the steamer New Castle, either late on Saturday or some time Sunday, the residents of the town knew that the long awaited day was at hand. When the meeting was called to order at 12 o'clock noon on Decem- ber 3, forty-six members were pres- ent ouitof a total of fifty-six. After a temporary organization had been perfected, one of the residents of St. Joseph, Rev. Peter W. Gautier, opened the -convention with prayer. Little work was done on the first day, except to examine credentials of the members. Then the conven- tion adjourned until the next day, thus giving the delegates and in- habitants a further opportunity to get acquainted. Many Influential Men Present The Saints'learned to know some of the '~ s- Inf lnrial nimn in. rhe. bi-tory of Amif-'ican Fih.,'iia prior to 1870. There s ere present at least two, probably three, future gover- nors of Florida--Rbert Raymond Reid, within a year to succeed Rich- ard K. Call as territorial governor; William Marvin of Key West, who more than 25 years later was chosen provisional governor at the close of the Civil War, and Thomas Brown of Leon county, probably the same man who was governor of the state from 1849 to 1853. The first'three United States sen- ators from Florida were members of the convention-James D. West- cott Jr.,. David Levy Yulee (his name at this time was David Levy) and Jackson Morton. Five of them sat in the :Secession Convention which declared the state no longer (Continuer on page 7) County 4-H Club Girls Attending Short Course Last Monday morning six happy 4-H Club girls and their home dem- onstration agent, Miss Ruth Milton, left for a week at 4-H short course which is being held at Florida State University, Tallahassee, June 9 to 14.

Too Hot To Write News, So We Clip From Our Contemporaries With the thermometer hitting in the neighborhood of 100 degrees or so during the week, Ye Ed finds it just too doggone hot to gather and wriie s~e s s'i we grabbed ip a pair ofi -hears and looked through" our exchanges fqr items 'to fill up the rag. .. F'instance, Joe Mal- pas of the Wakulla County News says: RIGHT NOW WE LOVE THOSE POTATOES We never were especially fond of potatoes, but right now we love 'em. We love 'em because it ap- pears that the spuds have gone un- derground in a big way. The farmer digs 'em up, and that is the last anyone ever hears of the things. In all of this planned economy, which is just another way of say- ing "you fool people have no sense and so we, the government, will tell you what to do and when"- some weird things happen. First, we have too many spuds and our all-wise Ibureaucrats take 'em out and dye 'em blue. Then we don't have any, and the folks who live off them are maybe supposed to turn blue. We dunno anything about the entire mess, but we do know that something is wrong-and our French fries are about gone. And up there in Walton county, Jim Griffin of the DeFuniak Springs Breeze has this to say: THE ELECTION'S OVER, LET'S FORGET ITI We have been .approached sev- eral times lately by people who want to say this, or that, about candidates who were defeated or who weren't defeated. We have refused one and all. We feel that the election is over. The people have spoken, as the saying goes, and- it is time to for- get-the whole thing, and everybody should be friends again. In the heat of an election, it is very easy to get mad with your best friend, or, in some cases, even with your wife, but once it's over we think every- one should forgive and forget. We're not mad with anybody, and we sincerely hope that those folks who failed to agree with us on our politics will forget it, as we have, and let's save out ammunition until next election. And now we hop over to Bristol, in Liberty county, where Alwin C. Weaver handsets the Bristol Free Presi: BRISTOL RRPSbMISEO. LOCAL TELEPHONE EXCHANGE Efforts of local citizens to se- cure improved telephone service for Bristol were rewarded .with the promise of .the installation of a telephone exchange and dial sys- tem by Joe Sharit, manager of the St. Joseph Telephone & Telegraph Company, at a meeting in the court house Tuesday night. Public inter- est in securing this service dates back to 1947 and this big step came only after diligent work. The results of a recent survey has been turned over to the tele- phone company, and this report shows that more than 1,00 tele- phones are needed in this area. Mr. Sharit agreed to place the required service in Bristol if as many as 75 subscribers in a one-mile radius of Bristol wanted telephones. Going still further afield, we hop over to Jacksonville and clip this from Sam Melson's Chronicle: SAYS PROPOSED ELECTION LAW IS GOOD THING Reports emanating from Tallahas- see that several unidentified legis- lators propose to sponsor a law making operation of a political poll for profit a felony, were greeted here with derision by Joe Abram, conductor of the Florida Political Poll and Survey, at whom the pro- posed law undoubtedly is aimed. "I am for it," Abram told the Chronicle, "because I operate my poll with subscribers, just like a newspaper." Friends of defeated candidates were said to be behind the sug- gested law, figuring that Abrams' state-wide issuance of a prediction that Dan McCarty would'win in the first primary was a valuable factor in McCarty missing that mark by 1.06% only of the total vote. Provisions of the new law would forbid taking of polls for profit; would specifically prohibit a polls- ter from soliciting money from a candidate; would make violation a felony with imprisonment up to one year and a day for an indi- vidual or a fine of $1000, or both; with a $5000 fine for a corporation. Port St. Joe Postoffice Shows Steady Growth First Quarter of Year Shows In- crease of $30,317 Over Same Period Last Year Postmaster Chauncey Costin re- ports that the local postoffice con- tinues to show a steady growth and cites the fact that office receipts for the March quarter amounted to $7,050.91, as compared with $5,- 297.31 in 19'51 and $5,093.60 for the same period in 1950.

A final report on his campaign expenditures during the race which ended in his defeat of Brailey Od- ham of Sanford in the May 27 run- off primary, discloses that McCarty spent a total of $251,960.37. Odham listed total expenditures of $141,275.19.

Our Country "=tC Right or Wrong TO FATHERS We, as a sentimental folk, must follow up that iday when Mother is crowned with laurels by .seeing that Father comes into his deserved own. It might have been more prudent to take the two Sundays, the one last month and next Sun- ,day, June 15, consolidate them and have "Par- ent's Day," when both loved ones divide the honors equally. But far be it from us to lessen .the profits of business! There would be the purchasing of one com- :bined gift for Dad and Mother, the buying of one card for the parents, the sending of one pot of flowers. The necktie and hosiery dealers would have to give the household appliance ,dealers a break, for how often Father has come in for a share of an electric waffle iron or dripo- 1lator. Many a dad has shares in a new lamp for Ithe living room and a half interest in a pair of .andirons at Christmas. We know of one fellow here in St. Joe who was satisfied with a bit of stock in a washing machine, and we believe he is looking for a family gift of an electric ironer from Santa's copious pack come Yuletide. 'So perhaps we should let Father have his day, undivided iifhonor, when such a deserving fel- low comes into ties and socks, shirts and pajamas, to share with no one, not even a grown son who wears the same size! What difference if colors are too loud, socks too large, shirt necks too small? All will work out. The idea is to give Father respect and tributes, to make him" know what joy it has given you to have him for a Dad, the love and fellowship of such a good guy. Next Sunday is the time to say it! COMMUNIST MEDICINE In a recent editorial the Washington Post said: "In considering the various proposals be- fore congress to give government medicine to various segments of the population, we have to keep in mind where such laws lead. ... .Our federal planners are jumping the British stage and moving straight to federally financed medi- cine, a la Russia." The Post then described the experience of a doctor who worked in the Soviet Union for 17 years and is now in the United States. In the average Russian community, he said, patients have no choice of physician-a bureau controls all medical practice and people are assigned to a given clinic. The clinics'are further divided into districts, each of which has a doctor and a nurse who are supposed to serve 2000 to 3000 inhabitants. During his office hours, the doctor is able to give about five minutes to each patient because of the crowd. On house calls he can spare about ten minutes. Hospitals are jammed. One result of this kind of political medical care is that the tuberculosis death rate in Russia is six times higher than in the United States. You can say that conditions would be entirely different here, even under tle administration's compulsory health insurance scheme. But the fact is-and history has demonstrated it over and over again-that a little bit of socialism, a little bit of dictatorship, always leads to more and more. There's one thing the typical bureaucrat can't get enough of-and that is power over the people. No major nation enjoys health standards as high as the United States. In none is better or more comprehensive medical care available to the masses of people. This is the achievement of free medicine working in a free country. Will we be blind enough to let the politicians force so- cialized medicine down our throats? It isn't so'hard to find a parking place on the streets since the St. Joe city commission passed that two-hour parking limit-especially if you're walking.

Carrington Ca- bell became a Florida representa- tive in congress.; At least five members of the fu- ture supreme court of the state were members of the convention- Benjamin D. Wright, Walker An- derson, Thomas Baltzell, Leslie A. Thompson and Albert G. Semmes. Not only were the future political and judicial leaders of the state at this gathering, but the two great- est newspaper editors of territorial Florida were delegates, Benjamin D. Wright, the able editor and pub- lisher of the Pensacola Gazette, and Cosam Emir Bartlett, the clever and kindly leader of the Apalachicola Gazette. Another able editor, Josh- ua Knowles of the Florida Watch- man of Tallahassee, was chosen as secretary of the convention, but he was' not a delegate. All in all, it may be truthfully .said that never before nor since have so many able men ,been gath- ered at one time in a Florida town, and that town not four years old. Allen Saves the Day The convention continued in ses- sion to January 11. 1839-a dura- tion three times as long as had been anticipated. Though the pro- ceedings- ordinarily were of little interest to the populace, there- were occasions when the attention of al- most everybody was aroused. Their delegate, Duval, lost the chairman- ship of the convention by one vote to Judge Reid, but as a partial com- pensation for this disappointment he was made chairman of the com- mittee of the executive department, and Richard C. Allen of the com- mittee on the judicial department. Thorugh all the sessions these two men played very prominent parts.

JO.E, GULF COUNTY, FLORIDA PAGE SEVEN FRIDAY JUNE 6, 1952 r re , WAW*~l TrHgSJtS,- 1 ,HoMe Demonstration Group Takes Gifts and Makes Tour of Asylum Activities and Work Performed At Institution Proves Enlight- ening To Many By MADALEINE WHITAKER Wednesday of last week twelve members of Home Demonstration Olubs' of Gulf county and two visit- ors made a tour of the asylum at Chattahoochee, taking with them ,many gifts and materials for the workshops, which proved a day of enlightenment for the majority of the group. They were ushered into the first building by Miss Parker, nurse in charge of occupational therapy, where they met Mrs. J. W. Dor- mann, head of the white female de- partment, and found that in that one building alone there were 1,840 patients. Mrs. Dormann, who has seen 30 years of service in care of the insane, is a gracious and lovely woman who holds out hope for even the most hopeless under her care. It is a locked-in city in itself, housing the mildly deranged to the violent cases. The visitors were al- lowed to visit every ward and found that the only restraint practiced / was the locked doors entering each ward. There are no straightjackets or padded cells. Every patient is treated as an individual and is ad- vanced from ward to ward as they are prepared to once more take their places Iback in their homes. The admittance center is in the R. A. Gray building and houses about 200. There you find the shock and other therapy treatments. The shock treatment is applied electri- city through the 'brain, and a vio- lent patient, knowing not even her name, will, after the second treat- ment, be able to identify herself and coherently relate details of her past life. Mrs. George, Lawrence conducted the group through the building and lectured upon advancement, of the patients until they reached the wonderful social center where pa- tients.-were almost-ready to leave for home.' There they wore their own clothes, sewed, played bridge, wrote letters, etc. Next was' the men's woodcraft department, where the visitors were allowed to buy some of the fin- ished articles, baskets, trays, door ornaments, lamps, chairs, tables, etc., which w e r e exquisitely fin- ished. One man could not read, write nor speak, yet he had been taught to run a small circular saw that cut out all the patterns. Along one side of the building there was a porch, heavily screened, where many walked back and forth in the sunshine filtering down thru the shade trees. The woman's sewing center was an intensely interesting place, and the most beautiful embroidery, that took hours of concentration, was being done. The healing power of that concentration was doing its wonderful work and bringing the women back to health and happi- ness. Miss Dora Fulgham is superinten- dent of nurses, and she cordially invites 'any group of people to come inspect, see and hear the things that are 'being done for the many who are confined at Chattahoochee; that love, kindness and constant watchful care are the orders for all who work under her. Those making the trip were Miss Ruth Milton, home demonstration agent; Mrs. J. A.

That is the challenge facing the physicians and ' public authorities of our state. The multiphasic survey to be con- ducted next month in Gulf county by the state board of health may be termed as a "health detective," screening the population of the county, searching and striving to locate Gulf county's share of this number. They are unknown because these diseases can remain undetected for a long time, and an examination by a doctor and laboratory tests are necessary to identify them.

The Oystermen, behind the hurl- ing of Cottie Hendels, held St. Joe scoreless for the first six frames while shoving over seven runs for themselves, one in the first and three each in the second and third. The Saints were in scoring posi- tion in the second and fifth innings but failed to make the grade. How- ever, all was forgiven in the lucky seventh when Susege, new Saint backstop, was walked, McFarland singled to left and Fleming got on with a long single to center which. allowed Susege to cross the plate. Bennie Burke was hit by Hendels for a walk to load the bases and Fish Herring lammed a hot one down the third base line to drive in McFarland and Fleming. Tommy Mitchell fouled out to the catcher and Belin singled to again load the bases. Bert Cox, who has been hit- ting regularly, doubled .to center to allow Burke, Herring and Belin to scamper home, making it 6-7. Cox went to third on a balk by Hendels and Susege was safe on an error by the shortstop, Cox coming in on the play te tie the score. It was three up and three down for both teams in the eighth, and in the ninth the Oystermen made two more runs on two walks and two errors.: St. Joe could have made it 9-9 in the bottom of the ninth had not Belin attempted to stretch a two- base hit to three after driving in Mitchell. Tom McDaniel started on the mound for the Saints, but was re- lived in the second by Bill Flem- ing after Apalachicola had scored three runs. Hendels went the route for the Oystermen. Strikeouts were few and far between, Fleming get- ting 3, Hendels 3, and McDaniel 1. The Saints defeated Blountstown 16-2 here last week annd are sched- uled to play a return tilt in Apa- lachicola Sunday. ---------- End Papers End papers hold the uneven hail ends together so that they may be easily rolled on home permanent curlers.
