As Yellow Fever

Gains Headway


Death Angel Strikes Down
High and Low, Free
and Slave Alike

(Ninth of a series of articles on the rise
and decline of the old city of St. Joseph)
The summer of 1841 will always
be remembered in the traditions of
Florida:as the time when the dread
scourge, yellow fever, reached its
most malignant form in the annals
of the territory. St. Joseph was
hard hit.
Other places, notably Apalachi-
cola, had as high a mortality, but in
no other town were so many emi-
nent inhabitants stricken.
Many Notables Succumb
The wife of former Governor Du-
val succumbed on July 14th. The
fever seemed to single out for its
victims the representatives to the
St. Joseph Constitutional Conven-
tion of 1838. The other Calhoun
county delegate,, Richard C. Allen,
and the wife and sister of George T.
Ward, Leon county delegate, passed
away.
The publishers and their relatives
were also targets of the deadly epi-
demic. Joseph B. Webb, proprietor
of the Florida Journal, which had
succeeded the Apalachicola Gazette,

The new Methodist Church has

Participating will be two former

Hearing Scheduled

On Amendment To

City's Zoning Law


Would Boost Present Mini-
mum Construction Cost
Up To $5000

The city commission of Port St.
Joe will hold a public hearing on
proposed amendments to the pres-
ent city zoning laws which were en-
acted in 1938 and which today are
inadequate duie to the rising cost
of materials and labor.
The hearing is set for 8 o'clock
next Tuesday night at the city hall
and anyone desiring to present. any
matters for or against the proposed
changes will be heard at that time.
A copy of the new zoning plan is
on file at the office of City Clerk
Ben Dickens and may be examined
by anyone interested.
No changes are proposed in the
zoning restrictions applicable to
the business section of the city,
since this is taken care of by the
fire code. The changes will apply
only to the residential areas.
The minimum cost of buildings in
residence districts A, B and C will
be raised to $5000 for materials and
labor. Under the present law, the
minimum cost is $2000 in districts
A and C, tnd $3000 in district B.
Residence districts A, B and C
includes in general all areas south
of 5th Street and the area.bounded
by Long Avenue, 3rd StreFI.r'Wood-
)ward Avenue and 5th Street. -
No other changes are proposed in
the present zoning law.

Ever since The Star was established 15 years
ago, the merchants of our city have bemoaned
the fact that considerable trade goes to Panama
City and have continually urged the publisher
of The Star to write "Trade At Home" editorials,
which we have been doing consistently, and, to
practice what we preached, have done all of our
trading at home, even though at times prices of
articles have been higher. We knew. that if we
spent our money here we would get another
crack at it.
Now some of these same merchants have fallen
prey to high-pressure talk from the Panama City
News-Herald and for the past two weeks have
been advertising in that paper in a "special" two-
page Port St. Joe section, with a consequent
dearth of advertising in The Star. The only ad-
ditional circulation they get is in Apalachicola
and Carrabelle, since they 'can expect no cus-
tomers from Panama City, and we doubt that
they will secure sufficient business from those
two communities to justify the higher cost of
their advertising.
The Panama City News-Herald pays no taxes
in Port St. Joe, pays no city license, buys nothing
here, yet these bemused local merchants who


wonderful luck at Lake Wimico. have so loudly shouted "Trade at Home" pay

TAXPAYERS TAP

(Continued from page 1)
Cemetery road inside the city limits
of Wewahitchka was kicked around
for quite some time and was amic-
ably settled when Tapper stated
that the state road department will
call for bids on the project some
time in September or October.
C. G. Costin informed the board
that they should be "primarily in-
terested in keeping taxes as low as
possible.and that the proposed bud-
get would be a burden on the tax-
payers of the county." He further
urged them to try to reduce the
village or keep it at its present,
level.
Said T. H. Stone: "You may as-
sess taxes and put 'em on the book,
but when it reaches a certain stage
they cannot be collected, regardless
of what you do. I've seen it hap-
pen right here in Gulf county, and
so have a lot of you."
W. C. Roche, who at one time
served on the board, said: You
can't please everybody and there iVs
no use to try. There is one place
where you can pick up a large sum
and that is by re-assessing home-
steads in the county. There are
very few homes that are not worth
more than the $5000 exemption.
The commission has' the authority
to go over the tax assessor, and
that's where you will find plenty of
money for operation of the county."
Commissioner J. F. Miller asked
how come people who know these
things didn't come before the board
Monday when it was sitting as a
board -of equalization.-
H. H. Saunders of the St. Joe Pa-
per Company stated that the com-
pany and its affiliates at present is
paying about 70% of the tax bill of
the county and suggested that the
board adopt a budget that would
not exceed that of this year. "The
cost of labor, materials, pulpwood
and other items have gone steadily
upward," he said, "and within the
next few years, due to the present
expansion program, the company
will probably be paying 80% of the
county's tax bill, in addition to the
mounting costs."
J. L. Sharit was of the opinion
that taxes can be held at the pres-
ent level, especially so since the
state has taken over maintenance
of most of the county's roads, and
"I hope you can cut the budget
down considerably over what you
have laid out there."
Main bone of contention was the
proposal by the board for the pur-
chase of a dragline and machinery
transfer trailer to haul it about.
On the advice of Attorney Costin
no bids were opened for the pur-
chase of the dragline, but the "low-
boy" was purchased from the Sea-
brook Truck & Tractor Company of
Tallahassee at a cost of $3,570. The
board also voted to advertise for
bids for a two-ton truck to haul the
lowboy about from job to job.
The proposed budget will be pub-
lished in the July 25 issue of the
Gulf County Breeze and hearing on
the budget before final approval
will be on August 5.

laid, and we are looking forward to

blessed us with this inviting place
of worship. We are expecting many
of our friends to worship with us

ings together.
"We are indeed grateful to the
many friends who have helped us

To Leave On Trip To New Mexico

day for Dothan, Ala., to join a party

Our Country "i Right or Wrong

THE BIG BATTLE LIES AHEAD
Right now is a good time to confess that we
don't know who will be nominated on either the
Democratic or Republican tickets, nor who our
next president will be.
As a commentator on the national scene, such
an admission is probably unique, if not down-
right damaging. But our ideas on whom we
want for president are probably just as combus-
tible as anyone's else.
We want Eisenhower.. We think the nation
needs him desperately at this juncture. But, if
we can't have Ike, we want a Republican presi-
dent, for we seriously question the ability of the
United States to withstand much more Dealing
-New, Fair, Double or Under-the-Table.
With the conventions behind us, there will be
only two kinds of Americans-those who are for
socialism and the Fair Deal, and those who have
the deepest contempt for regimentation and
the editor of The Star belongs to the. latter class,
as you may have gathered from past editorials.

A DISHONEST BILL
'Congress has- voted down a social security bill
which would have increased old age benefits. A
house leader charged that a "pressure campaign"
conducted by the American Medical Association
was responsible.
This was at once answered by the' association
which said: "In all likelihood the increase in old


STARDUST and

MOONSHINE

We seem to remember when a
run in a stocking (especially one
of those slinky nylons) was con-
sidered a minor disaster. And now,
we learn, nylons-with-runs are treas-
ured more than those without! .
We might say there's a run on
runs, as it were.
How come? So the gentler sex
can turn their damaged hosiery into
flowers! 'That's right-nylon
flowers, for corsages and bouton-
nieres, for trimming hats, for hair,
ornaments and for dressing up gift,
packages-are being made like mad
from castoff, re-dyed nylon hose.
And where do we get our infor-
mation? Right from the horse's
ftouth-Miss Ruth Milton, county
home demonstration agent (say,
that doesn't sound just right, does
it? 'Sounds like we might be calling
Ruth a horse. Far from it! She's
really a nice looking filly). Any-
way, it comes right from the ,grass-
ioots where.every farm wife, house
wife and 4-H Club girl has been
brought up to consider waste a sin.
We've seen some of these beau-
tiful flowers, but don't ask us how
'the women make 'em, even though
it's said to be a lot easier than
tying flies, of which we've had con-
siderable experience. We un-
derstand that these nylon flowers
are going to be a new home-craft
feature at the Third Annual Gulf
County Fair next October, and that
the preserves, canned fruits and
vegetables, quilts, dresses, etc., will
have to move over and make room:
An while we men will still go


age benefits would have been voted without
serious opposition if the sponsors of the legisla-
tion had presented an honest bill to achieve that
purpose. The defeat of the bill was due to the
* fact that its sponsors sought to trick their fellow
congressmen by a hidden section in the act, de-
signed to establish a legal basis on which the fed-
eral security administrator could begin to exer-
cise political control over the care of the sick
and the practice of medicine. The bill was not
defeated by the American Medical Association,
but by the aroused members of congress who
had discovered the duplicity of the legislation's
sponsors.
The sponsors tried to slip in a, joker clause
which would have started us along the road to
socialized medicine or government-bossed medi-
cine. The advocates of that haven't been able to
get to first base by direct, forthright methods-
congress is overwhelmingly opposed to turning
the practice of medicine over to the tender mer-
cies of the bureaucrats and machine politicians.
So now there trying deception. In this instance,
the elderly people who receive social security
checks were the victims.


CAN WE STAND MORE 'SALVATION'?
Your friend (he ain't ours) "Rainmaker" Tru-
man admitted in his speech dedicating the Bull
Shoals Dam in Arkansas that he had broken the
88-day drought in that area, as the first rain in
more than a month sprinkled his. 30,000 hearers.
He also admitted with equal modesty that the
New Deal and'Fair Deal' had brought salvation
to this country. These policies, he said, "have
brought us out of the depression. They have en-
abled us to fight and win World War II. And
they are making usable now to be the strong
leaders of the fight for freedom against com-
munism in the world."
He didn't mention the Korean snafu, the loss
of China to communism, our defeat in the estab-
lishment of a workable United Nations, or that
we are no longer powerful enough to protect our
nationals abroad. Nor did he state'the price of
S"national policies, directed to meet human needs
aAd not just to meet private greed"' which is cur-
rently pegged at better than 30 per cent of the
national income, and still producing deficits to
add to a national debt of over $260,000,000,000
on which the taxpayers have to get up more than
$6,000,000,000 a year for interest alone!


for the preserves and fruits, we'll
certainly enjoy our new freedom
from hearing about stocking runs.

We had anticipated spending our
annual two weeks' vacation (July
3, 4, 5 and 6) at Stardust Lodge in-
dulging in fishing, loafing, reading
and sleeping, but we very foolishly
purchased an electric grass cutter
for the purpose of clearing off our
lot on the Dead Lakes at our lei-
sure. Leisure, our foot! .
We had no sooner got to Stardust
Thursday afternoon than our wife
had us "trying out" the hellish con-
traption, and off and on, with the
exception of about six hours Friday
morning when we went fishing, we
were cutting grass and if you
have never tried to cut wiregrass
a foot high and in solid clumps the
size of your two fists, you don't
know what you've missed! .
Well, anyway, we won't have to
worry about that three-quarters' of
an acre of grass for a couple of
months.

Reading Habits
Prof. Ellsworth Huntington of
Iale obtained statistics from 41
libraries covering the past 20 years
in an effort to plot the month-by-
month figures of non-fiction circula-
tion for these libraries as a crite-
rionr of mental activity. He found
regular cycles with maximum activ-
ity in late winter or early spring, a
minimum in summer, and a rise
with cold weather.

Uneese Waters
To make cheese wafers, cream a
three-ounce package of cream
cheese with the yolk of an egg.
Add salt, pepper, and a little grated
onion. Spread one-half inch thick
on wafers, place under the broiler
for a few minutes, and serve very
hot.


LETTERS
TO THE EDITOR


Dear Editor Bill--Thanks very
much for the.nice publicity which
you gave "The Southern Pine Story"
in The Star of June 27.
I think- that it behooves every
citizen of Port St. Joe to learn more
about this natural resource that
plays such a vital part in the lives
of so many people, not only in Port
St. Joe but throughout the South-
land. We, of the St. Joe Builders
Supply Company are trying to make
this story available to any and all
who are interested.
I especially appreciate your in-
terest because, as a member of the
trade promotion committee of the
Southern Pine Association, I was
privileged to make my small con-
tribution towards the production of
"The Southern Pine Story."
Very sincerely yours,
Harry McKnight.

r'all Freshening,
To avoid a milk surplus in the

bred cows to freshen in the fall.
As a result, dairymen have positive
proof that fall freshening is better
than at other times of the year.

PEOPLE FLEE CITY

(Continued from page 1)
devastation of the plague, life and
business in Apalachicola resumed
its normal aspect, but the glory and
prosperity of St. Joseph were gone
forever. The most remarkable re-
sult of the calamity, besides the
complete ruin of the town, was the
tradition that gradually developed
that the gallant city had been a
place of utter wickedness.
One can guess how this legend
arose. Here there had been a flour-
ishing place which had been crushed
in a most striking manner, as if
by divine wrath. The superficial
analogy of Sodom and Gomorrah,
and other wicked Biblical cities,
was so apparent that the tempta-
tion to use St. Joseph as an object
lesson to worldly-minded, amuse-
ment-loving persons, could not be
resisted. However, the town did
not deserve, any more than other
cities along the Gulf coast, the ap-
pellation of "the wickedest place in
the United States."
SIt had its race track and its pub-
lic houses where alcoholic liquors
were imbibed in quantities; the
sailors coming from all quarters
gave it a rough element; but there
is absolutely no evidence that it
was in any way abnormal in this
respect. In fact, all contemporary
accounts praise the industry and
liberality of its inhabitants. Some
of the mostcultured people of the
lower South lived here, and long
afterwards one of them, the mother
of R. J. Moses, wrote the following
in an almost mystical strain:
"St. Joseph in ruins is more dear
to my heart than any spot of more
worldly grandeur, so peaceful, so
healthful, it seems as if its very re-
pose led me nearer to my God, so
free from conventionalities and re-
straints, so gloriously stamped by
the Finger of God."

Let's Look At the Record

Says Retail Association

Gives County-By-County Breakdown
of Florida's Potential and Ac-
tual Vote In 1948 Election

The Star is in receipt of a com-
plete county by-county 'breakdown
of Florida's potential and actual
vote in the 1948 presidential elec-
tion from the Florida State Retail-
ers Association. This timely data
is the backdrop for the organiza-
tion's intensive state-wide "Get Out
the Vote" campaign already under
way.
The statistics show that while
registered voters numbered 1,000,-
503, only 577,763 votes were cast in
the 1948 election. Actually, only
38.8% ot persons over 21 cast bal-
lots.
In the county analysis, Gadsden
county was at the bottom of the
list in percentage of eligible voters
who cast 'ballots. Only half of the
registered voters went to the polls
and only 14.3% of eligible voters
did so. Union county, next to last
on the list came through with 19.5%
of all persons over 21 going to the
polling places. Of Gulf county's po-
tential 3,835 potential voters over
21, 1,574 went to the polls for a per-
centage of 41.1; actual number of
registered voters was 3,378.
'Strange as it may seem, Talla-
Hassee and Leon county staged the
third poorest "good citizenship"
perofrmance. Of Leon county's 16,.
000 registered voters, only 6,106
persons cast 'ballots in the 1948
presidential election. Only 22.1% of
all eligible voters bothered to ex-
ercise their right of. franchise in
the county which is the seat of
Florida's state government.
In contrast, Mayo and Lafayette
counties took top honors, with a
score of 62.1%. Cross City and Dixie
county were a close second with
61%.
