Apalachicola and St. Joseph
Vie With Each Other In
Civic Developments

(Sixth of a series of articles on the rise
and 'decline of the old city of St Joseph.)
PART II
In this saga of the rise and de-
,cline of St. Joseph we must now Yre-
trace our steps and consider the
rivalry between the towns of St.
Joseph and Apalachicola after the
Lake Wimico & St. Joseph Railroad
Began business in September, 1836.
While the preliminary work for
the development of St. Joseph as a
rival to the parent city was being
so successfully carried out, the sup-
porters of the latter place were not
idle. At the beginning of 1836 the
Apalachicola Land Company do-
nated $20,000 to be used to deepen
the western channel and the har-
lbor, thus permitting all vessels to
come within seven miles of the city
and those of a maximum draught
of 12 feet, to the wharves. At the
same time the company gave $1000
to the city for purposes of genera!
improvement, and $5000 to defray
the expenses of filling up the hol-
lows and grading the streets.
In order to counteract the iriflu-
ence of the energetic St. Joseph
Telegraph. tne officr-i,' of the cioml-
paro inr ranked thri etablishmerint oo
a new paper, tile Apalachicola Ga-
zette, and engaged as editor and
ostensible proprietor, one 'of the
ablest veterans of Georgia journal-
ism, Cosam Emir Bartlett.
Ready for Commercial War
Consequently the fall of 1836 found
the rivals ready for a bitter com-
mercial war. The records for the
years 1836 to 1841 are too meagre
to be entirely satisfactory. The out-
come of the rivalry in the winter
of 1836-37 seems to have been a de-
cided victory for the older town, al-
though St. Joseph may have fared
better than is apparent.
Our only source of information is
the partisan Gazette. According to
the Apalachicola paper, 18 steam-
ers -were plying between that town
and Georgia-an increase of three
or more over the preceding year.
The total number of vessels that
arrived 'between November 1, 1836,
and January 31, 1837, amounted to

Temkin Tells of


Vacation Trip To

British Columbia


Shocked By 'Music Machines'
In Reno; Caught By Cold
Weather In Oregon

(Ed Note: Following is an interesting ac-
count by Daniel Temkin, director of the St.
Joe school music department, of his trip to
Vancouver and Powell River, B. C.)
Vancouver, B .C., June 11.
Dear Ed-Several of your read-
ers have expressed interest in our
trip to Powell River and Vancou-
ver, British Columbia, .where Geo.
B. Hills Jr., now lives.
We left St. Joe on May 24, and
the next morning we narrowly es-
caped being submerged in a flasti
flood at Biloxi, Miss. Further down
the road were miles of oil derricks
and fat cattle between Shreveport,
La., and Dallas, Texas, then desert
and mountains to Boulder Dam
Nevada.
Shocked By Mechanical Bands
Next were Las Vegas and Reno,
the brightly-lit honky-tonks devoted
wholeheartedly to the single and
singular sin of gambling. One es-
tablishment is Harold's Club in
Renp which houses a museum of
the wild west. On display is a col-
lection of disguised sword canes,
concealed pistols and other treach-
erous weapons. These were used
both by "gentlemen" in Europe and

horrifying are a number of coin-op-

such as callio.pes, player pianos and
mechanical bands.

For Lost 2-Year-Old

Son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Raf-
field of Highland View Found
After All Night Search

Mr. and Mrs. Charles Raffield of
Highland View decided to go floun-
dering Monday on East Bay in Bay
county, and took their 2-year-old
son, Charles, with them. About 6
p. m. Mrs. Raffield discovered the
child was missing, but thinking he
was with her husband, was not par-
ticularly worried. When she asked
him if young Charles was with him
he replied in the negative.
After searching in the vicinity
without result, they 'called in the
Bay county sheriff whp organized a
hunt that lasted through the night
and well into Tuesday, with soldiers
called in from Tyndall Field, and
local residents taking part. Crash
boats were also sent from Tyndall.
About 10 o'clock Tuesday morning
Carl Raffield and M. C. Wood car-
ried nets to the locality to drag the
waters of the bay, but about that
time (11:30) little Charles was dis-
covered in the woods huddled up
against a stump, none the worse for
wear with exception of mosquito
bites. /

Multiphasic County


Health Survey Is Set

For July8th To 24th


Four-Way Checkup Will Be
Offered All Persons 15
Years and Over

Residents of Gulf county are re-
minded of the opportunity that is
going to be theirs starting July 8
and continuing through July 24, to
participate in a modern public
health feature, a multiphasic health
survey or combined health test,
which has been described as a
"Four-Way Health Checkup" (not
to be confused, of course, with a
four-way cold tablet).
Dr. Terry Bird, health officer for
Gulf county, said yesterday that the
rolling laboratories from the state
board of health would offer X-ray
facilities and blood testing services
to all persons 15 years of age and
over who desire them. All or any
part of the tests may be taken.
"These combined health tests have
been offered i4 Florida and have
proved highly successful," said Dr.
Bird. "It offers an excellent oppor-
tunity for Gulf county residents to
protect themselves against such
diseases as tuberculosis, anemia,
diabetes and general diseases. In
addition, the X-ray examinations
sometimes reveal such, things as
heart .int.:'r aiilt. tumorsand,
c-erLIT ibrioriinal ouindions which
itay appear in the X-raiy fil
Dr. Bird strtI:s-d that thie exami-
nations are "entirely voluntary, and
the results are confidential." If,
however, any portion of either test
warrants further examination, the
physician of your choice will be no-
tified and you will be advised to
call him for an early appointment
to discuss the findings.
Sponsors, in addition to the Gulf
county health department, includes
private physicians of the county,
the Gulf County Tuberculosis and
Health Association, Parent-Teacher
Associations, churches, civic and
fraternal groups, and industrial es-
tablishments. The Florida State
Board of Health is furnishing the
equipment and technicians-for the
survey.

Every morning for breakfast, when I am lean

,Charles Lewis Aboard Lost Carrier
Word was received here this week,
from Charles K. Lewis, son of Mr.
;and Mrs. D. B. Lewis, that he is
-now on the west coast and that he
-was aboard the aircraft carrier USS
:Lexington when it was sunk in the
battle of the Coral Sea.
S Parker Skipper
Announcement has been made of
the marriage of John Parker of this
city to Miss Wilma Lenora Skip-
per, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Geo.
:Skipper of Vernon, the ceremony
having been performed last Sunday
anornin'g'at the home of the bride's
parents.
\ Birth Announcement
Born, Saturday, June 13, to Mr.
and Mrs. Maurice Burch, a daugh-
-ter, at a Panania City hospital.
Add Similes
The editor was talking with Rev.
'0. D. Langston the other day and
he made a remark that tickled us
immensely and which we will add
,-tWe 'ber m as nervous as a wiggle-iail

Velaue Approves St. Joe Pipeline
After voting down the proposed
gasoline pipeline from Port St. Joe
to Jacksonville last week, the house
-of. representatives in Washington
Wednesday passed favorably on the
:project when it was brought up for
-econsideration. The 220-mile line,
as approved, would be 8-inch and
-would be built of used pipe to be
'excavated froin lines in Texas not
:mow in use. It could carry approxi-
anately 35,000 'barrels of petroleum
products daily.
Rubber Salvage Drive Starts
Residents of Port St. Joe began
]Monday making a 'direct contribu-
tion toward winning the war by as-
7em'bling all the old scrap rubber
.around their homes, garages and
:yards and turning it over to local
killing stations where it will be
3pieked up by salvage trucks.

ren's office, the state railroad commission, the
beverage department, the fish and game com-
mission, and other bureaus, all seeking free pub-
licity in order that the voters will think they're
really "on the ball." I have eaten ream on ream
of congressmen's speeches. Editor Bill could
practically print The Star from the useless stuff
that is mailed here in envelopes marked "Offi-
cial Business."
To me, this is really an era of prosperity. I
am sorry to report, however, that Editor Bill,
who feeds me, seems to be losing his temper. He
throws my food at me and cusses the "red tape
and bureaucracy that is hampering the 'unde-
calred' war in Korea," and also the fact that
newsprint is getting scarcer and scarcer and the
price continues on the upgrade.
I don't know what he's talking about. From
the stuff I've been eating, it's hard to tell that
there's a war going on.

When Furnace Is "Furniture"
Because the household rumpus
room frequently houses the furnace,
the demand has developed for fur-
naces with exterior jackets that are
as colorful and attractive as furni-
ture. For the purpose, industrial
finish engineers have developed spe-
cial finishes in striking colors which
resist heat, scratching and marring
and are easy to keep clean.

Brown Sugar
Brown sugar should be substituted
for white sugar weight for weight,
not measure for measure, because
brown sugar is lighter in weight per
volume than is white sugar.

where we slipped up. We'll never
forget how proud Dr. Goode Farrior
was when he marched up and got
the prize for the largest stump-
knocker entered-his weighing just
a grunt over a half-pound."
Whoever heard of anyone keep-
ing stumpknockers-even the two
and three pound ones? But then,
we've know Earl for lo, these many
years, and he thinks he's lucky to
catch stumpknockers. Of course, he

RIVAL CITIES
(Continued from page 1)
the preceding year the number had
been only 48. The malicious Gazette
announced with -great glee in its is-
sue of December 31, 1836, that two
steamers were aground in the Lake
Wimico channel.
Decide On Second Railroad
The promoters of St. Joseph
realized the disadvantages under
which they were laboring. With a
spirit that is not surpassed by any
modern business firm which is will-
ing to scrap costly machines for
more modern ones, they decided to
construct a new railroad from the
town. to the Apalachicola River at
Tennessee Bluff, where the town of
lola was soon to develop. This new
road would have two advantages
over the old one-the treacherous
Lake Wimico would be avoided and
the transportation distance between
St. Joseph and Georgia would be
considerably less than between Ap-


28 miles from the new town and 70
from the old one-while the Lake
Wimico route made St. Joseph more
distant from the cotton fields than
Apalachicola.
The Saints never wasted much
time translating their plans into
deeds. By the end of August, 1837,
The Times announced that $50,000
had been paid to Mr. Chaires, the
contractor, and that 10 miles of the
railroad had been graded and the
requisite timbers prepared. How-
ever, there was no possibility of
completion of the work for the sea-
son of 1837-38.
Apalachicolians In Building Splurge
The Apalachicolians, not to be
outdone by their rivals, had planned
an ambitious building program. The
Gazette announced in March that
there were now completed or in
process of construction, 2000 feet
of continuous brick stores on Wa-
ter Street-each three stories high
and 80 feet deep.
The second season of commercial
competition between the cities, the
winter of 1837-38, found Apalachi-
cola retaining her supremacy, al-
though her rival's efforts to divert
trade were much more successful
now, than in the preceding year.
* While the Saints were exporting
more than 30,000 bales of cotton, the
total shipped by the older town ex-
ceeded 50,000. St. Joseph was un-
doubtedly making inroads upon Ap-
alachicola's prosperity, but in doing
so, the railroad company was com-
pelled to lower its freight rates to
such an extent that the income was
barely sufficient to meet operating
expenses, and no dividends cpuld
be declared on the original invest-
nment. The question seemed to be
which town would be willing to en-
dure the cut-throat competition the
longer.

TO'TH E EDITOR


Fort Knox, Ky., June 10.
Dear Editor Bill-I have just re-
ceived my Star this afternoon and
went through it once, but I always
-go back and read everything in it
as it makes me feel closer to home.
I am sure you remember th'e ar-
ticle in The Star a few months ago
that was sent out inadvertently and
you had to correct about my gradu-
ation from Officer Candidate School
-well, after 22 weeks of hard work
it is finally coming true on June 23.
I will be home on June 25, so, if
you will, I would like for you to
hold my Star 't the office until I
get my new assignment. I will pick
it up at the office while I am home
and also pay up and renew my sub-
scription.
Now that the fishing season has

Regards To theHills
To come back to Vancolver--the
citizens of this city keep their
lawns and yards flowered and man--
icured neatly enough to please the
most fastidious garden club.
We carried regards from many in
St. Joe to Mr. and Mrs. George, B.
Hills. They were happy to see any-
one from their home town, and
they read The Star faithfully. They
have five spare bedrooms in their
large, solidly built and well-land-
scaped manor, and will be glad to
put up anyone from St. Joe. Sarah
Ann was interested in our elemen-
tary school, where she taught the
first grade.
George is all wrapped up in his
work. He has degrees in mechani-
cal and chemical engineering, and
he and a specialist in economics
serve as the technical advisors to
the mill management. The mill's
staff of 30 engineers have drawn
plans for a $10,000,000 expansion
now well under way. Under consid-
eration now is a new paper mill to
cost about $70,000,000. It will be lo-
cated at Kitimat, a brand new city
of 50,000 'being 'built 500 miles north
of Vancouver, centered around al-
uminum mining and fabrication.
George is leaving Saturday to in-
spect Canadian east coast paper
mills for his employers.
The shades of night do not fall
here in June until 10 p. m. An hour
and a half later we departed after
a real English "tea and scones" re-
past. Before leaving we took a peek
at their sleeping 7-months-old boy,
who is just as chubby as George.
