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.

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.

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?

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

milk, but that, too, is out, for it
rates 160 of the varmints for a
glass. 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

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.

Air Force Searches for Jet
Plane Near Apalachicola
A crew of U. S. Air Force men is
making a search of the Gulf off Dog
Island, near Apalachicola, to locate
what has been identified "as an,
air force jet plane.
Seems that a couple of weeks
ago a fishing party found the craft
and endeavored to tow it to land,
but couldn't make it. The fisher-
men stated they couldn't tell whe-
ther or not there was anyone in the
plane.
The air force has set up head-
quarters at St. Teresa and has a


radio command post set up at the
Panacea bridge. Boats and planes
are being used in'the search.
Joins Family For Vacation
Capt. J. L. Bates arrived Thurs-
day of last week from Oklahoma
City, Okla., to join his family here
for a month's vacation.
Daughter Visiting
Mr. and Mrs. E. L. Lowery had
as their guest last week-end their
daughter, Miss Willa Dean Lowery
