'Kid's Day To Be

Observed In City

September 27


Plans for Annual Event Be
ing Completed By Local
Kiwanis Club

"National "Kid's Day" will be oh
served Shturday, 'September 27, in
Port St. Joe as well as in hundreds
'of other communities throughout
the United States, Canada, Alaska
and Hawaii.
'Mickey Stone, president of the
FPort St. Joe Kiwanis Club, says
the annual observaince'is sponsored
by Kiwanis International and the
National Kid's Day Foundation,
Inc. 'thousands of Kiwanis. Clubs
'annually observe the day in co-op-
eration with Kiwanis International
"Plans for the fourth annual cel,
ebration of National Kid's Day here
are almost complete," Mickey went
oni "In keeping with the purpose of
the 'day, which is to attract more
attention tq the problems, of under-
privileged youth and to raise funds
to meet these needs, our entire pro-
gram is designed to provide ma-
terial help for less privileged chil-
dren in our community."
Mickey stressed that Kid's Day
is not a commercial vehicle. "The
only ones who benefit by it are un
derpriyileged boys and girls," he
explained. ".All funds raised through
Kid's D[ a ,.-rivities ,1 'ii- nain in
our community to be spen' iundei
the supervision of Kiwanians and
other, organizations interested in
Sthe youth .of the community."
Kiwanis International has been
active in youth work for 37 years
and-Kid's Day is now one of the
.principal activities of the organiza-
tion. "Look how well Kiwan is clubs
..on Kid's Day in 1951," Mickey
pointed out. "More than a million
youngsrers- benefited fro m the
'$432,7S1 raised by Kiwanians on
that day."
T he St. Joe club president cau-
tioned against a possible tendency
to. overlook youth problems because
of the tense national political cam-
paigns and world conditions. "We
m'ust.do better this year than ever
before. Kiwanians and other civic-
minded residents of Port St. Joe
will have an opportunity through
,National Kid's Day to join' with mil-
lions of fellow Americans in ob-
srrving.a day set aside especially
l fteIping youth."

Enrollment In

County Schools

Is On Upswing


Total Number of Students To
Date Is 2065, Increase of
221 Over 1951-52

The way school attendance in
Gulf county is rising, it begins to
look as though a continuous build-
ing program will have to be insti-
gated to provide room for/the stu-
dents.
Superintendent Tom Owens has
provided The Star with. figures for
the entire county for .the 1952-53
term, but since he brought them in
Monday, the figures have changed
-at least in Port St. Joe-and both
Principal H. F. Ayres of the high
school and Principal H. E. Richards
of the elementary expect enroll-
ments to rise still further.
In 1951 the St. Joe elementary
school had an' enrollment of 641-
as of Wednesday it was 750.. The
high school enrollment in '51 was
310 and today it is 365. This is a to-
tal of 1,115 students for the two
schools as compared to 951 in 1951,
or an increase of 165.,
The Wewahitchka high school in
1951 had an enrollment of 243 and
today it is 257, while the elemen-
tary enrollment last year was 145
compared to 166 today. This is a
total for the two schools of 423, as
against 388 last year-an''increase

The Negro schools in Port St. Joe
show an increase of 41 students
over last year, Washington high
school having an enrollment of 269
as against 265 last year, and the
elementary school 147 as against
110 in 1951. In Wewahitchka the
negro school shows a decrease of
20 students, 110 this year as com-
pared with 130 last year, but Su-
perintendent Owens expects this to
be canceled out within the next few

Local Band To Take Part

in 'BandDay' At F. S. U.

Students Will Parade Streets of
Tallahassee and On Gridiron
At Football Game

Band Director Daniel Temkin an-
nounces that the St. Joe school
band will join with approximately
1000 other brilliantly uniformed
school bandsmen to perform in
massed formation on the Florida
State University gridiron at Talla-
hassee on October 4, when F. S. U.
celebrates its second annual band
day. Invitations for the event have
'been issued to bands in Alabama,
Georgia and Florida.
At least 30 bands, with their di-
rectors and chaperone's, will be
guests of the university for the
football game between the F. S. U.
Seminoles and the University of
Louisville.. At the half-time period
they will take over the field to pro-
vide a show which, for sheer spec-
tacle, should exceed anything pre-
viously presented on a Florida Uni-
versity gridiron.
As a prelude to their massed
demonstration at the evening game,
the youthful bandsmen will stage a
pre-game parade in the afternoon
through the Tallahassee business
district.


Chandler and

Nedley Retain

Board Seats


Largest Turnout of Voters To
Be Recorded Return In-
cumbents To Office

A smashing turnout of 79.3% of
the city's qualified electors turned
out Tuesday to return I. C. Nedley
and Franklin W. Chandler to their
seats on the board of city commis-
sioners. Of the 853 qualified voters
listed on the registration books, 673
cast ballots-660 at the polls at the
city hall and 13 absentees, accord-
ing to the city commission, which
sat Wednesday noon as a canvass-
ing board.
This seems to have been the
largest vote, percentage-wise, that
has ever been polled in the city.
With some 1200 names on the regis-
tration list for four years previous,
the total vote was: 1948, 412; 1949,
677; 1950, 350; 1951, 661. Of course,
these figures do not actually-dlepict,
the exact state of things, since a
large number of those registered
had moved away from the city or
died, and that cut down the per-
centage.
'This off-year city commissioner
go-round gave I. C. Nedley 237; W.
H. Howell 119, Jack Fowler 124 and
Ralph Swatts 174 in Group 3. In
the Group 4 race between incum-
bent Franklin W. Chandler and Dr.
R. E. King the score was close,
with Chandler counting-328 to Doc
King's 306.

Two Men Die In

Fall From San Bias

Lighthouse Tower


Painters, Tied Together With
Rope, Hurtle 100 Feet
To Sand

Two men met violent death Tues-
day afternoon at Cape San Blas
when they fell from the topmost
point of the lighthouse tower to
the sand below, better than a hun-
dred feet, one apparently dying in-
stantly and the other managing to
hang on to life for another hour,
though terribly crushed.
The two, Angelo G. Tzuoanis, 61,
a native of Greece, and Frank M.
Wiley, 28, both of New Orleans,
were contracting painters and had
been repainting the lighthouse the
past two weeks, the job to have
been completed Saturday. They
were working on the light housing
at the time of their death and were
tied' together with a rope as a
safety measure.
About 4:30 they had decided to
call it a day and started to come
down off the tower, according to a
witness who had casually glanced
up as he passed the structure. A
moment later he heard a loud, wail-
ing scream, but thought it sounded
like a dog," had ,been, struck by a,
small bulldozer working on the res-
-ervation.-Sho: i;l. afteI 'aii'i e [ .two-:
bodies Vere dii.u,o.-red. Tthe watch
of Wiley was shattered, with. the
hands pointing at 4:35.
According to W. P. Comforter,
local mortician, Wiley was still
breathing when he arrived at the
scene, and he was placed in a
trailer attached to a coast guard
jeep and brought out to the ambu-
lance which could not get to the
lighthouse due to deep sand. He
was placed in the ambulance under
oxygen and rushed to the Port St.
Joe Municipal Hospital, where he
lived until' 5:30. Cause of death ap-
parently was a crushed skull. The
ambulance returned later to 'bring
in the body of Tzuoanis, who, from
indications, died instantly.
The body of Tzuoanis was claimed
Wednesday by his brother 'part-
ner in the contracting firm,, and"
was taken to New Orleans. The
body of Wiley was carried to Mari-
anna yesterday for shipment to
New Orleans, where his wife, who
is in a hospital suffering from in-
fantile paralysis, resides.
The Comforter Funeral Home of
this city was in charge of local ar-
rangements.

City Rakes In $1,974.96
For July Cigaret Taxes

City Clerk Ben Dickens Jr., has
received a check for $1,974.96 from
the state beverage department for
the cigaret tax collected within the
city limits for the month of July.
This was about $600 less that was
collected for June and brings the
total received for the first seven
months of 1952 to $14,339.04, which
represents a heap of smokes.
Amounts received by neighboring
communities were:* Wewahitchka,
$463.32; Panama City, $16,444.58;
Apalachicola, $1,233.65; Carrabelle,
$670.64; Blountstown, $1,714.75, and
Liberty county, $520.88.
Total collected in the state for
July was $1,424,127.32, of which
$230,334.33 went into the general
revenue fund and the remainder
was distributed to eligible incor-
porated municipalities.

Rain in many areas of the Cotton
Belt has damaged the seed, lower-

fact, coupled with an increase in

to result in a severe shortage of

Our Country Right or Wrong

"FREEDOM FALTERS"
Ike has sounded his battle-cry. "There is only
one issue in this campaign," he told a rafter-
raising, aisle-jamming overflow crowd in Phila-
delphia, "that's the mess in Washington."
This was the "formal opening" of the Eisen-
hower presidential campaign, and it followed on
the heels of a two-day areial warmup Southern
tour, where an estimated 500,000 persons in At--


lanta, Jacksonville, Miami, Tampa, Birmingham
and Little Rock heard and cheered the invading
general who had been promised "a corporal's
guard" for his audience by the Democrats. The
Southerners," he told his Philadelphia hearers,
"stand ready to rise up in their wrath" to remove
the present administration. "I'll remember those
Rebel yells for a long time," he added.
"Seven years after victory in World War II,"
he said, "we are perilously close to World War
III. .. Seven years ago we had won the great-
est crusade for Freedom, and today Freedom
falters and Communism crusades."
In blaming the Korean War on the administra-
tion, a roar of applause greeted his charge that
Washington had "abandoned China to the Com-
munists. In paying tribute to our troops in Ko-
rea, he declared: "Let us determine now that we
will establish a government of which they will
be proud when they return.
"In this atomic age, victory is impossible in
global war. The only way to win World War III
is to prevent it. Don't say to me," he demanded,
"'The job is too big.' Since when has any job
been too big? Let's get going!"
In short, Ike took Philadelphia lock, stock and
Liberty Bell.- The Quakers and the Pennsylvania
Dutch like their talk simple and blunt. They like
a soldier whose Holy Grail is Peace.
It could be a lot of us do.

Forest Service Looking
For Pine Cones, Seeds
"Hope Expressed That Youngsters
Will Work To Aid Develop-
ment of Forest- Resources;
New is the time to collect slash,
pine cones and seeds, according to
Ed Howard, district forester for
Northwest Florida. He. expressed.
the hope that many youngsters and
adults would use their spare time
'to collect mature pine cones. "Next
year's seedling crop depends on
seeds collected this September," he
explains. "The Florida Forest Ser-
vice urges people to use this op-
portunity- to help develop our for-
est resources."
The forest service will pay for
Sirature, healthy slash pine cones at
the -rate of 90c to $1.25 per bushel,
delivered at the Olustee nursery.
Clean seed properly handled will
.be bought at $2.75 to $3 per pound
delivered. Pine cones are ready to
pick if they will float in water. To
be acceptable they must have an
even brown color and must be free
of disease and worms. Lots of 100
or i pie bushels of cones will be
)- -Icked up by the forest- service
on notification that they are ready.

Beverage Dealers Must
Observe Closing Hours,
J. S. Shirey, district supervisor
of the Pensacola district for the
state beverage department, Satur-
day issued a warning that the de-
parment would crack down on vio-
lators and "strict enforcement" of
closing hours will -be enacted.
Ssaid 'Shirey: "Notice is hereby
given to all dealers licensed to sell
intoxicating beverages and cigarets
in Bay, Gulf, Jackson, Holmes, Cal-
houn and Washington counties that
we are expecting them to abide by
the law, 100 per cent. If the law in
your county states that the closing
hours are from 12 midnight Sat-
urday to 7 a. m. Monday, we are
asking you to abide by same."
Heretofore the Pensacola office
has found it difficult to enforce the
laws in all counties, but a district
office now has been set up in Pan-
ama City to take care of the abeve-
named six counties.

Change Made in
Duck Bag Limit
Two Day's Bag Limit May Include
But One Wood Duck; Motors
Can Remain On Boats
The tightening of one regulation
and the loosening of another fea-
tured the revisions of the federal
regulations for the taking of migra-
tory game birds in Florida this
year.
A revision in the 1952-53 regula-
tions states that the daily bag limit
of ducks this year is four, and pos-
session eight, only one of which
may be a wood duck. Last year the
possession limit on ducks was two
,days' bag, which included two wood
ducks.
The other regulation permits the
shooting of migratory game birds
from a boat or other craft having a
motor attached if "such craft is
fastened within or tied immediately
alongside of any type of stationary
hunting blind."
In previous years it has been il-
legal to hunt with the motor on the
,boat, and before shooting was per-
mitted the sportsmen had to undo
the motor and place it on the floor
of the boat.
Sportsmen for years have con-
tended that the regulation prohibit-
ing shooting of migratory birds
while in a boat with a motor at-
tached was unwise, for "it's worth
your own -life to try and take off a
motor while you're in the boat on
the water."


STATE'S INDIANS


(Continued from page 1)
of the survivors were rounded up
and transferred to the new Indian
Territory west of the Mississippi
River.
Seminoles Originally Creeks
Other Florida counties with sig-
nificant Indian populations include:
Dade, 88; Bay, 20; Brevard, 13;
Charlotte, 10; Durval, 14; Escam-
bia, 31; Gilchrist, 9; Hillsborough,
27; Jackson, 8; Palm .Beach, 10;
Orange, 11; Polk, 20; St. Johns, 24;
St. *Lucie, 51, and Volusia: 11.
Florida's Seminoles were origin-
ally Creek Indians who separated
from the Creek Confederacy and
overran Florida after the destruc-
tion of the Apalachee and Tumicua
tribes by the English in 1702-03.
Their warlike qualities got them
in trouble twice with the United
States. In 1817-18, a U. S. force un-
der the leadership of General An-
drew Jackson invaded the then
Spanish-held state to curb their
border raids into Georgia.
By a treaty signed in 1832 they
pledged themselves to move to the
new Indian Territory in the West.
They repudiated that treaty and
touched off the seven-year war in
1835.
U. S. Still At War With Indians
Of special interest to historians
is that the United States still is
technically at war with the Semi-,


*r1/


nole Indians. A .peace treaty has
never been signed with the Red
Men who fled to the sanctuary of
the swamps.
Florida has three Indian reserva-
tions in the state:. Big Cypress in
1lendry county and Brighton in
Glades county, both near Cle~wis-
ton, and Dania, in Broward county
near Dania.
But while Florida's Seminole In-
dians still have largely maintained
their traditional aloofness from the
white man's ways, they are begin-
ning to show a more friendly inter-
est in the power of the white man's
medicine, if a recent health test
staged by the Florida State Board
of Health is any reliable indication.
More than 95% of the Indians on
the three reservations old enough
to take the test showed up for the
examinations. Of the 281 tested,
only one showed evidence of syph-
ilis, four showed evidence of dia-
betes, while 42 had indications of
nutritional deficiency, as shown by
blood tests.

LETTERS
TO THE EDITOR

Andalusia, Ala.
Dear Editor Bill-I certainly en-
joy; reading The Star every. week,
but haven't been, getting any "fish-
ing dope" lately from you. Every
time I hear from Gus, the fish are
biting, and when I come down and
don't catch any, he tells me they
bit yesterday. Consequently, I am
disappointed and'beginning to doubt
Gus' word. How about giving us a
little fishing 'dope each week so we
can.plan ahead to come down and
catch a few.
Best regards to you, and may you
catch the "limit" every day.
CHARLES CREECH.
Well, now, Charles, it's generally
