PORT ST. JOE A Progressive Community With a Modern, Progressive Weekly N.ewpappr 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 for the Apalachicola-Chottahoochee Valley" VOLUME XV Single Copy 8c PORT ST. JOE, FLORIDA FRIDAY, JUNE 20, 1952 $3.00 Per Year NUMBER 39. Rival Cties Start Bitter Cut-Throat Cowmercial War 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 Recreation Program Has Many Activities Strong Compelt n Being Shown By Oak G ;e and Town Baseball Teams The summer recreation program for the young folls is well under way with many activities in pro- gress, the latest being erection of. two ping-pong tables under the pines 'behind the Centennial Audi- tbrium. A ping-pong tournament is scheduled to begin in a few weeks for two age groups, boys and girls under 12 years of age and boys and girls over 12. A badminton court will be set up in the same location within the next few days. Strong competition has been ex- hibited between t h e Oak Grove baseball team, managed by Walter Wilder, and the town team, man- aged by Bobby Plair. Two games of a series of scheduled tilts have al- ready been played and both were won by the Groveites. The second game was a real thriller, with Oak Grove winning by a score of 3 to 2. Oak Grove's lineup has included Ronnie Young, Wilford Elliot, Rob- ert Nedley, Walter Wilder,'-Buddy Hutson, Billy Johnson, Gene An- derson, Buddy Love, Ronnie Han- lon, James Knight, Jimmy Wilder and John Stephens.

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.

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. ------fc------ Boys' State To Convene At Capitol Next W4ek, Two St. Joe boys, Bill Rich and George Hill, sponsored by the Am- He is survived by 'one daughter, erlcan egion and Kotary Club, re- Mrs. Sylvia Mae Mc3Iurray of spectively, will go to Tallahassee Clarkstown, Wash., and the body is tomorrow where they will join 300 being held at the Comforter Fu- other Florida high school boys and neral Home awaiting word from her set up their mock government of as to disposition.

I am fat, happy and contented for Editor Bill feeds me well. Every morning for breakfast, when I am lean and empty, he starts stuffing me with govern- ment reports and pollyanna propaganda. Shortly after noon I get a bushel of long-winded reports from Washington, and by evening, when Myr- tice comes around to empty me, I am stuffed fatter than a Strabourg goose with junk that was meant to be printed. Editor Bill calls it "crap." I have devoured tons of printed matter from the OPS (sometimes five lengthy releases a day), TEN YEARS AGO i iFrom the Files of The Star ,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 a train barrel." 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. -----+r----- Modern Apples People who complain that modern apples dor't have the taste of the ~ld varieties are suffering mainly 2-from faulty memories.

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. Bob Harris, the Graceville rural mail carrier who visits St. Joe's beaches every summer, says the 40-hour week hardly gives him time to read all the postcards.

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. you won't believe this-she alone loaded two fish stringers with stumpknockers. Some of them were big enough to keep, too. "It was along about this time that the local Jaycees had a fish- ing rodeo on. We landed several three-pound, stumpknockers out of this particular hole we mention. Of course we had a lot of smaller ones ranging from two pounds down. A few under a pound. We thought of entering one of our larger ones, but With its amazing economy of up to 30 miles on a gallon--your Henry J can save you more than 300 gallons of gas over the average car-every year. That's real penny-a-mile economy! Su '1349 See your Kaiser-Frazer dealer today just fooled around and didn't. That's 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 brings in an occasional :bream or shellcracker that accidentally gets tangled up with his hook. Per- sonally, we don't keep any stump- knocker that can't pull us out of the boat. Acting Postmaster Chauncey L Costin hopped on us last week it regard to that head saying that pos tal revenue at the local P.

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. alachicola and Georgia, Iola being ('Seventh installment next week) Come in for a Money avinSurprnse!

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.
