Port St. Joe's high school band, shown here marching down the main
drag in Tallahassee. joined with over 1500 musicians from high school
bands in Florida and Georgia,in celebrating the second annual Florida
State University Band Day in the capital city Saturday. October 4.
Although small in size as compared to some of the other-bands, the St.
Joe 'band made up for it by its smart appearance during the parade and,
night football game. It was the first time that the local band, under
the direction of Daniel Temkin, attended the annual affair, and from
comments of band members, they certainly want to go again next
year. However, all was not so gay, for during the rehearsal at the foot-
ball field in the afternoon one -St. Joe girl collapsed from the heat and
during the parade another dropped out. The big show was saved for
the football game, when all 27 high school bands and the F. S. U. band
paraded, played and went into formations on the gridiron at half time.

They expect to be in Germany for
three years.


"The popular vote has been de-
clining in our country ever since
1880," said Anderson. "'Never has it
been so important for voters to ex-
press their views-and to reverse
this alarming downward trend. The
voters must get to the polls-and
we new car dealers are determined
to help-with transportation for all
who need it."
Arrangements have been made to

Methodist BUll Game

Uproarious Shindig

Wesleyan Sluggers Defeat Hens By
Score of 12 To 5 In Weird
and Hilarious Tilt

Despite a rather chilly evening, a
large crowd turned out Thursday
night of last week to witness the
style show and ball game staged at
Centennial 'Field by the Wesleyan
Service Guild and the Methodist
Men's Club to raise funds for com-
pletion of the new church.
The style show, with men dressed
as women doing the modeling, went
off in fine style, although it didn't
get half the applause and laughter
as the softball game which followed
between the Wesleyan Sluggers and
the Hens.
The Sluggers team was composed
of Jo Ann Wise, Mrs. Warren Lind-

(Held over from list wee'kJ
Korean veterans who wish to
take advantage of the newly-en-
acted Veterans Compensation Act

armed forces after June 27, 1950,
and has a discharge' other than dis-
lhonorable. (2) He has been in ser-
vice at least 90 consecutive days or

ployed, he can apply for benefits
under Title 4 of the federal law.
(4) If he lhas no benefits coming to

immediately for benefits under the
federal law.

be unemployed at the time of fil-
ing, he must be ready. willing and

To Be Seen At Third Annual Gulf County Fair


CAMPUS INN
News of Port St. Joe High School
By MARTHA COSTIN

Top Skits
Top talent of our high school was
shown Wednesday of last week in
classroom competition. Each class
presented a skit and the top ones
of junior.high and senior high were
chosen to be given in the talent
show held last Friday night.
The junior high's skit came from
7-B, which presented a radio pro-
gram. Tootsie Jammes g-ave a very
educational lecture on "Little Bo
Peep," and everyone swooned upon
hearing the sensational song, "Ju-
nior Birdmen," that is sweeping the
country. Kenneth Hurbut gave an
up-to-the-minute report on news in
the world of sports to conclude the
program.
The number one spot in senior
high was captured by the sopho-
more class in a comical episode of
what would happen if girls played
football. Benny Roberts, acting as
narrator, got a pass (not a ball)
from Ann Kenney, the live wire
from Sopchoppee.
These are just a sample of the
talent we have.
Floats for Hallowe'en Fete
The students are working hard
on their floats for the Hallowe'en
carnival parade on Saturday, Oc-
tober 18. This is a project spon-
sored by the student council. The
floats will *be judged and the. win-
ning class will be awarded a prize.
No School Monday
The students were very happy
last Monday because there was no
school due to a ,teachers' meeting
in Tallahassee. Regular classes re-
sumed Tuesday, but everyone en-
joyed their extra holiday.
Talent Show Big Success
The student council is indebted
to the following for their contribu-
tion toward making the talent show
last Friday night the success it
was: Pat Hall, scenery; Mrs. H. E.
'Richards for use of the auditorium;
Jimmy Greer, for the fine emceeing
job; St. Joe Paper Company 'for
paper; St. Joe Lumber Company
fpr lumber; The Star for tickets;
the cast for the excellent job, and
all of you who turned out to back
us up. We thank you all!

Fish and Game Losses
In State Worry Sikes

Congressman Sees Florida Losing
Ground As Mecca for
Sportsmen

Speaking before th e Okaloosa
'Sportsmen's Club at Crestview re-
cently, Congressman Bob Sikes said
.that 'Florida is being outstripped
by many states in the development
of game and fish resources," and
that "we are in real danger of be-
coming a 'have-not' state unless
more realistic policies are followed.
"At one time Florida led the east-
ern states in game and ,fish re-
sources," he continued, "and as a
result; .Florida was a sportsman's
mecca. Now, too frequent small
catches and empty game bags are
causing sportsmen to take their va-
cations and their money elsewhere.
"Our present wide open hunting
and fishing.policies.will in time pro-
duce a sportsman's desert. Within
a generation, unless thefie is a
change for the better, hunting and
fislhng will largely be the privilege
of the rich, who can afford their
own reservations and their own
lakes. I don't think that's what the
people of Florida want.
"I regret to say that the first in-
terest of the game and fresh water
fish commission appears to be to
sell licenses. Their policy of per-
mitting commercial basket fishing.
stripped many streams of the state
of game fish. That finally has been
stopped by an uproar from sports-
men. But, commercial seining is
now'authorized on the ground that
some areas are overstocked. Sports
fishermen throughout the nation
are looking for overstocked areas
and they will bring in many times
more money and favorable publi-
city to-an area than commercial op-
erations.
"Nearly every state possessing
good hunting and ntiii:, today has
recognized the fact that the present
great number of sportsmen, plus
easy access to hunting and fishing
areas, has made it necessary to cur-
tail season and bag limits. As a re-
sult, they have more game and fish.
and sportsmen are better satisfied.
"Much of Florida's game and fish
conservation program is good," he

To Speak At High School I Available for Visitors

By MARTHA COSTIN According to a report received
Adlai Stevenson and "Ike" Eisen- from the state hotel commission,


shower, along with their vice-presi-
dential running mates, as repre-
s- ented by students, are scheduled
to make major addresses at the St.
Joe high school next week, but a
definite date has not been set.
Preparations are being made by
the campaign managers of the can-
didates.
The ninth grade civics classes
have been divided into two parties
and candidates chosen for each. Ed
Creamer will fill the job of Eisen-
hower, with Pete Duperouzel as his
running mate. Paula Duperouzel
will be Eisenhower's chief aide and
preparation has begun for his ap-
pearance next week.
The Democrats have chosen Mar-
that Costin to run on their number
one spot, with Marietta Chafin as
John Sparkman. Buddy Seymore
has been named as campaign man-
ager for the Democratic candidates.
This should be an interesting
campaignn and will give students an
opportunity to voice themselves in
the coming election.
