JOE, GULF COUNTY, FLORIDA FRIDAY, AUGUST 15, 1952 METHODIST YOUTH ACTIVE IN AFFAIRS OF CHURCH The Methodist Youth Fellowship of the local Methodist Church was host Tuesday night to a sub-district meeting. The program opened with an address of welcome by Lincoln Hall, followed with favorite songs by representatives of the various churches. Timothy Elder sang "The Holy City," after which John Bar- rier gave an inspirational talk on "He Gave His Life" and "The Lord's Prayer" by Carlton Philyaw. After the program, all went to the beach for recreation. Sunday night the youth took over the preliminaries of the service. Previously they had formed a youth .choir which will sing each Sunday night. Attendance at the meetings has more than doubled since the visita- tion conducted by the class. It is hoped this will be a challenge to the youth of other churches to be- gin taking an active part in church affairs. Dr. Joseph B.

Our Country Right or Wrong ADVANTAGE OF HOME RULE (Reprinted from Okechobee News) In November the people of Florida will vote upon a proposed amendment to the state con- stitution which would provide home rule to those counties which desire it. The amendment would allow the legislature to grant charters to the various counties, said charters having been rati- fied by the majority of the qualified electors of the county in a special election called for the purpose. Under the county charters, the electorate would have authority to regulate and govern themselves in respect to local and internal af- fairs not directly related to any state function or responsibility as established by the legislature. Nor could county charters in any way interfere with the courts created by the constitution or the judges thereof. Opponents of the amendment contend that its passage would end all constitutional government insofar as the counties are concerned, with noth- ing definite or concrete offered in replacement. This opposition fails to give credence to the fact that the courts are undisturbed in their authority and that every action of county government, be it under the provisions of alocal charter or of state law, is subject to .review by the judiciary. From the Files of The Star Volunteers for Dressing Station The Red' Cross project opened Monday in the Norton building on Reid Avenue to make surgical dress- ings, got off to a good start under the supervision of Mrs. R. V. Co- burn, with 47 women volunteering for the work. Quota is 50.000 dress-. ings to be prepared by Dec. 31. Bicycles Must Be Registered All bicycle owners of the city will phortlb be required to register their twe-Tyheel steeds at the city hall in aecoadance with an ordinance just passed 'by the city dads. Upon ar- rival of license plates, bike owners will be notified. This is not a reve- nue-raising scheme, since the fee will be 50c and the plates cost the city 23c, but is for protection of the bicycle owners. Fla-Raising At A. W. S. Tower A flag-raising ceremony will be held Sunday afternoon at the Air Warning Service observation tower when, with appropriate ceremonies the Kiwanis Club presents the na- tional banner to the post. ------ - Holy City of Tibet The lowest order of society in Lhasa, holy city of Tibet, are mem- bers of the ra-gyap-pa, whose duty it is to dispose of the dead. These people, who live in hovels outside the city, must follow the Tibetan religious custom of returning each body to the elements from which it originated-earth, fire, water, and air. Purse-Protection Rusty or clogged gutters and downspouts may allow water to cause expensive damage to a house. It is a wise measure,to keep them clean and protected with paint. Any county charter provision or action taken un- der such charter is subject to the test of con- stitutionality. The proposed amendment would, for the first time, give the individual county opportunity to control its own activities without having to ob- tain the consent of a legislature which might have little or no knowledge of the needs of that county. Yet the amendment has such safeguards included that the welfare of the public is fully protected. Efforts to arouse fear of the proposal cannot detract from the obvious advantage of the various counties being able to control their own government at the primary level. ON THE HORNS OF A HAPPY DILEMMA (Reprinted from Blountstowtn Record) We think it will give you pleasure. We know it should. Therefore we are reporting it in our usual spirit of good will. We feel that you, a lot of you, feel somewhat the same way. We are almost convinced that the best thing we can do, for the sake of this country that we all love so much, is to cast our vote for Eisen- hower. We do not mind voting for Ike at all. We believe him to be a good man. At the same time we want to emphasize that we are not voting against Governor Stevenson. If we follow through on our decision to vote for Ike it will be with real regret that we fail to vote for the Demo- cratic nominee. We like all we know about him. As you can gather, we think we are going to vote for Eisenhower. If we do, it will be because we feel that a change will be good for America. We are delighted that we can go along with good heart with the Republican nominee, and at the same time feel no despair if the opposition wins. Never, since we have been aware of what is going on, have the two major American parties nominated two men that we liked so well. We can foresee no great harm coming to our great country, and we can foresee much good from the election of either one of these good men. Yes, sir, we are in a delightful quandary. To hear some people tell it, all the world's , problems fade into nothing when matched with their brains. Perennial Flowers Prefer A Rugged Outdoor Life Growing perennial flowers from seed is so easy and satisfying it '. is surprising that so few amateur , gardeners try it.

JOE, GULF COUNTY, FLORIDA PAGE SEVEN Pulpwood Cutting In Florida Shows Gain Output of State Is Third Best In South; Nassau Fourth Ranking County During 1951 Florida's forests fur- nished 1,490,000 cords of pulpwood for usein the manufacture of paper and pulp. This total was 7.6% above 1950, and represents about two- thirds of the pulpwood volume con- sumed by mills now operating in the state. Florida ranked third among the Southern states in pulpwood pro- duction last year, being surpassed only by Georgia and Mississippi. Nassau county, the fourth rank- ing county in the South during 1951 in production, produced 116,202 cords. Among other leading coun- ties in the state were Marion with 86,210 cords; St. Johns, 66,973; Co- lumbia, 63,153; Hamilton, 62,293; Baker, 60,990; Bradford, 55,473; Jackson. 53.959; Alachua, 53.262; Clay, 50,561. In Northwest Florida we have Santa Rosa producing 47,159 cords; Calhoun, 29,393; Washington, 27.- 630; Gadsden, 27,168; Madison, 21,- 613, and Holmes, 20,107. Apparently Gulf county fell below the 20,000 cord mark and was not listed in the tabulation, but we can say with pride that thousands and thousands of the cords of pulpwood produced in the state during 1951 were processed right here in Port St. Joe by the St. Joe Paper Com- pany. Errors Will Creep Into Paper Regardless of Utmost Care Regardless of how hard we try to avoid them, errors will creep into The 'Star on occasion. Last week we had the county' school millage for Port St. Joe set at 151/ mills- and for Wewahitchka 13 mills, which is the way we un- derstood it from one of our county officials. We have been informed by Tom Owens, school superintendent, that there are no longer two districts in the county, 'but that the entire county is known as District 1. Con- sequently the village of 151/ will apply to both St. Joe and Wewa- hitchka. And, too, we had the Saints de- feating Tallahassee 10-6 when it should have been A0-2-which we knew all the time, having taken in the game. But we have a little con- solation in that we said further on in the story that "the Caps made one of their two runs in the bottom of the fifth." Any more errors anyone wants to see corrected?

WIMBERLY PONTIAC COMPANY Corner Second Street and Monument Avenue Port St. Joe, Florida THE STAR, PORT ST. JOE, GULF COUNTY, FLORIDA PRIbAY, AUGUST 15, 1952 PAGE SEVEN 'jP ,~ u : :I. PG G H SA R T O G I A STARDUST and MOONSHINE A couple of weeks ago we were horribly surprised and shaken to our foundation to discover that we weighed in at 186 pounds stripped, and, knowing that that was too much avoirdupoise to be carrying about on our one leg, decided to do something about it immediately, if not sooner. Glancing down at our pleasingly plump abdomen, we reached the conclusion that there was quite too much lard around our belt line, so we looked us up a chart on how to eat calories-or is it how not to eat calories? Studying this list, we discovered that we should have, as a semi- working man, about 1500 calories a day, so we began checking up on our average daily intake and dis- covered that we had been hitting around the 2500 mark most of the time. Now, if you think it's an easy matter to come right out and mow down a thousand calories in their prime, you've got another think coming. We found that the teaspoon of sugar we'd been having in our morning cup of coffee contained 25 calories, so decided to do away with it. But, somehow, coffee just doesn't taste right without sugar, so we now allow ourself about half a spoonful and chalk up 13 calories. Iced tea was very rank without su- gar, so we compromised in the same manner 'as with the coffee, giving us a gain in the beverage department of about 25 calories. For years we've been accustomed to having for lunch a bowl of soup and a slice or two of bread (that is all, believe it or not), so imagine our horror to find that thick soup, the kind we like, was rated at 300 and thin soups at 25. Now we're on bouillons and saving 275 cal- 6ries. The bread was rated at 75, and .crackers, wnhi:h we had some times, were 25 eacih. go we now in-' dulge in either one slice of bread or six crackers with our soup. No butter-it's rated at 25 for a small square (another 25 gain for our side). We love potatoes in any shape or form, but they rate awfully high- 100 for a small baked, 100 for a small sweet potato and 20 for each and every French fry. We have al- ways been a potato chip addict, but they're absolutely out, since they carry a calorie count of 10 each. When we do partake of one or two, we pick out 'the biggest ones. At times we used to sit down and drink most of a quart of ice cold You can always make money with a McCulloch! Wherever there's wood to be cut, there's profit to be made with a McCulloch chain saw. Blade sizes are available for every type of cutting operation, from felling giant red. woods to making fence posts.

We now ungraciously drink skim milk 'for 80 calories. Pie of any variety has been our favorite fruit, but no more, for the average restaurant slice packs a wallop of 300 calories. We never have been addicted much to cake, so the 150 calories per serving won't bother us. But fresh dough- nuts-man, oh, man! But they, too, are luxuries we can no longer af- ford at 200 calories per each. We generally have thrown olive oil into our salads, but now our wife has mixed us up an unsavory concoction of vinegar, salt, mustard and what we 'believe to be mineral oil. Anyway, we now prefer lemon juice on our salads. Our breakfasts now consist of a poached egg (75) on toast (75) and a glass of orange juice (50). We vary that occasionally by doing away with the juice and substitut- ing coffee (0) with half a spoonful of sugar (13). Unless we can steal a few cal- ories here and there occasionally, the matter of a 'bottle of beer is absolutely noescamatibus, since it rates 200 calories, and ale is 300. Anyway, the first week we lost three pounds and last week we knocked off another 2 pounds to bring us down to a slim 181. At Florida's Woods Fire Record Worst In U. S. The number of forest fires in the United States dropped 21% from 1950 to 1951, according to the U. S. Department of Agriculture, and the area burned over showed an even larger decrease, dropping from 15,- 518,640 acres in 1950 to 10,781,039 acres last year, which seems to re- flect an increased effort on the part of the American public to prevent forest fires. State and federal fire fighting or- ganizations reported a total of 164,- 090 forest fires last year, compared with 208,402 the year before. Florida, with 3,561,388 acres, led the states in acres burned last year and was also at the head of the pro- cession in 1950. Other states with more than 100,- 000 acres burned last year included California, 28'8,644; Oregon, 153,793; Kentucky, 251,693; Alabama, 378,- 018; Arkansas, 175,573; Georgia, 1,111,114; Louisiana, 470,839; Okla- homa, 943,993; North Carolina, 208,- 026; Mississippi, 1,084,135; South Carolina, 154,8'27; Tennessee, 185,- 827; Missouri, 910,960, and Texas, 429,214. -------r--- No Unemployed There were no persons in Gulf this rate we'll soon be requiring a county drawing down.unemploy- whole new wardrobe-which won't ment compensation for the week displease Glenn Boyles, Earl At- ending August 2, according to the chison or G.
