PORT ST. JOE A Progressive Community With a Modern, Progressive Weekly Newspaper ,;^ THE STAR lUE SURE c YlOientka dew, "Port St. Joe- The Outlet Port for the Apalachicola-Chattahoochee Valley" 'OLUME XVI Single Copy sc PORT ST. JOk, FLORIDA FRIDAY, OCTOBER 24, 1952 $3.00 Per Year NUMBER 6 Amendments To Constitution Are Loaded, Says Kay tbntain Dynamite, and More Can Be Said Against Than for Them By RUSSELL KAY While most newspapers, includ- ing Th.e Star, have published in. full the text of the several constitu- tional amendments that voters will be asked to pass on in the general election, these were printed in type So small and couched in language so technical that the average per- son won't read them, and if they did, wouldn't understand them. Take Amendment No. 1, for ex- ample. It authorizes the issuance of bonds for school construction and earmarks a large but indefinite part of the state revenue from au- tomobile license taxes for a period of 30 years for their payment. Admitting the need for school construction, I don't like this busi- ness of earmarking state funds and the repeated attempts that are be- ing made to get around the state constitutional limitations on state indebtedness. The original purpose of motor vehicle taxation was for the construction of highways. If we keep diverting this tax money taken from the motorist to. other pur- poses it means that our road build- ing. pr.bgram. will suffer. Whfle these lund'. dc. not go fot roads but are turned into the state gen- eral revenue fund, it sees to me that if we are going to earmark them f or anything, it certainly should be for roads. 'This particular amendment is ex- tremely long and technically word- ed ,and would be virtually impos- sible for the average voter to know the full significance of it, particu- larly since it will be put on the bal- lot in brief excerpts and not in full. Counties now have authority to issue bonds for school construction under certain limitations and when approved by a vote of the people. This amendment by-passes these restrictions ,and concentrates tre- mendous powers in the hands of of- ficials in Tallahassee. Another step toward centralization of govern- ment. In making their decision, .voters should consider all aspects of this proposal and not be swayed solely by the plea that it will help the schools. Amendment No. 2 would add three additional supreme court jus- tices and extends the power of the court. Here is another lengthy and technically involved amendment. If adopted it would make the Florida supreme court one of the largest in the nation :in number of justices. What we need is not more high-sal- aried justices but rather a stream- lined court procedure for greater efficiency and to speed up court ac- tion. This should be done by legis- (Continued on page 8) At Air Training Base In Texas Aviation Cadet Thomas A. Owens Jr., of this city is now stationed at the air force -base in Laredo, Texas, where he is receiving instruction in the T-28 conventional type one- engine aircraft as a preliminary phase of jet fighter training. He will put in three months on the T-28 and three months on T-33 jets. The T-33 is a two-seated version of the famed F-80 "Shooting Star." It has a maximumn speed of around 600 miles per hour and is capable of operating at altitudes in excess of 45,000 feet. Large Crowd Views Hallowe'en Carnival Attractive Floats, Costumes, Games Of Skill, Food Booths and Amateur Show Mark Day The annual Hallowe'en Carnival sponsored by the Port St. Joe Par- ent-Teacher Asociation last Satur- day, was the usual big success and brought forth a large crowd which jammed the carnival grounds both afternoon and evening. The event opened at three o'clock with a parade from the elementary school ground to the carnival site. The parade was headed by the high school band, followed by the usual marching contingents of children and a number of floats entered by school classes. First -prize for the best and most original float went to the 9-B class, of which Mrs. Eula Pridgeon is the teacher, the theme being developed around buried treasure. Second prize went to the senior class, Miss Kathleen Jeter, instructor, for the float best depict- ing the Hallowe'en theme, this be- ing a group of witches gathered around a large kettle, apparently concocting witches' brew. Prize for Tapper Urges Consolidation of Universities State ienaztor -liect of This City Suggests Ohe Head for Both Branches Consolidation of the University of Florida at Gainesville and Flor- ida State University at Tallahassee as a single university With a branch in Gainesville and one in Tallahas- see is advocated by George Tapper of this city, state senator-elect from this district. George, who is a member of the legislative reference council, made the proposal at a civic club lun- cheon in Panama City last Friday. Under his plan the two branches would be administered by one pres- ident, with a vice-president at each institution of learning. He went on to say that such a step would eliminate what he.re- ferred to as "costly duplication of specialized courses and graduate studies" in the two institutions. It the prettiest float went to tlhe 7-B would also improve the curricula, class, of which Mrs. Jackie Price is he said. the teacher. Judges of the floats Tapper acknowledged his plan were Mrs. George Cooper, Mrs. Jim "will cause great moaning, groan- Bobbitt and Mrs. Buck Griffin. ing and gnashing of teeth by the Prize for the most original cos- alumni of both universities," but tume went to Mary Farmer, who was dressed as a South African na- tive and prize for the most original costume went I,.

Before the volunteers could re- turn to their businesses or jobs, the siren sounded again at 1:15, and off they went to extinguish another grass fire in front of the Presby- terian Church on Sixth Street. The crew was back at the station at 1:'30, which is an average of 15 minutes per fire. Chief Durel Brigman says the new siren is about installed and it is -hoped to test it out shortly. Visit In Alabama Mrs. John R. Smith of this city and aunt, Mrs. Ruth Hodges of Marianna, spent last week-end in Birmingham, Ala., with the former's brother and wife, Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Miller. They were accom- panied by Mrs. J. C. Laney, who visited her daughter and family, Mr. and Mrs. H. 0.. Yelverton. Week-enders From' Georgia Dr. and Mrs. E. M. Griffin and children of Bainbridge, Ga., spent the week-end here with Mr. ,and Mrs. Roy F. Gaskin. Mrs. Griffin will be remembered as the former Miss Evelyn Taunton of this city. Here From Washington Miss Fran Thomas arrived Wed- nesday from Washington, D. C.' for a few days' visit here with her sis- ter and family, Mr. and Mrs. Hilton Lewis. She expects to return to the capital city next Monday. added: "I offer these thoughts in all sincerity and as a business-like approach to the problem."

While polls have not always given the true picture, it is nevertheless a matter of record that the Florida Political Poll, which has oper- ated since 1948, has a score of 23 winners and only two losers. At the same time the poll was conducted on presidential' candi- dates, opinions on several other is- sues were asked for, and results of this poll are equally :interesting. They show that 96% are opposed to the federal government's control of tide lands; 81% are opposed to socialized medicine, and 73% feel that congress should continue the right to filibuster. According to information reveal- ed by the poll, if the election had been held on October. 20, Eisen- hower would have carried the state with a comfortable margin. Whe- ther the situation has changed or will change to any degree between now and November 4 is problem- atical. But we can be sure that the vote in this state will be very close and all indications right now point 'to Eisenhower carrying Florida. Men and Women's Cage Teams To Be Organized Basketball Enthusiasts Are Urged To Attend Practice Sessions Monday and Thursdays Basketball prospects met Tues- day night at the Centennial Audi- torium with J. D. Clark and Joe Dowd of the Kiwanis Club (we had Dowd a Rotarian last week, but he says while he may look as old as a Rotarian, he's still a Kiwanian) for the purpose of organizing one or more cage teams, both men and women. The practice schedule, as set up, has the women meeting at 7 p. m. each Monday night and the men on the floor Monday and Thursday nights. It is hoped to arrange with outside teams for practice games by November 15. The men's team played only a few games last year and there was no women's team. However, the ladies plan to have a full season this year. Anyone interested in playing on either team is asked to come to the Centennial Auditorium on practice nights. It is hoped to set up a local league with four or more teams, but if this cannot be done, efforts will :be made to join the Apalachi- cola Valley League. Ladies reporting for practice on Tuesday night were Dorothy Wil- liams, Edith Garrett, Martha Wil- son, Betty Faircloth, Loretta Dow- den and Inez Avant. Men present were Bobby Gibson, Jimmy Harri- son, Harry Dowden, Clyde White,' Ed McFarland, Bill Flemming, La-, mar Freeman, Clyde Wells, Jimmy Pitts and Joe Branch. Managing coaches are Paul Player and Henry Chason. It is the hope of the players to have a full season of scheduled tilts and a tournament at the end of the season. Campaign Meeting To Be Staged By Junior Women Saturday night, November 1, will see the Centennial Auditorium con- verted into a convention hall when the Junior Woman's Club sponsors an election dance. Opening time is 8:30 and admission is 75c. The music and floor show of Len- nie Goss and his nine-piece orches- tra from Tyndall Field will be fea- tured, and there will also be ballot- ing for favorite presidential candi- dates and speakers, for both Demo- cratic and Republican tickets.

Cold Weather Cuts Attendance At County Fair Agricultural and Livestock Displays Show Great Advancement The weather man provided an ideal day Monday for opening of the Third Annual Gulf County Fair, and the midway was crowded dur- ing the day and night, but Tu.eday found a cold wave enveloping this section which took the temperature 'way down by that evening- and kept folks away from the fair in droves. Wednesday also turned out to be cold, with a slight drizzle at times, and as The Star went to press Thursday the sky was still over- cast, but Old Sol was making a valiant attempt to break through and disperse the gloom.'. There are some excellent agri- cultural and livestock displays en- tered this year, both of which indi- cate the great advances made in Gulf county along these lines with- in the past few years. Judging of both livestock and the other displays was done Wednes- day, and while Miss Ruth Milton, county home demonstration agent, had promised us names of winners in her department, she had not pro- duced as we went to press. In the livestock exhibit, Danny Brogdon of Wewahitchka carried off the grand champion ribbon for his registered Brahman bull, and Rudy Gaskin of Wewahitchka took the top award for the grand cham- pion cow with a sleek Hereford. Blue ribon for the best native cow and calf went to Charlie Mor- gan of Wewahitchka, and he also took a first and second ribbon for Hereford heifers. Coy Brogdon, also of Wewahitchka, won second place in the cow and calf division. Lawrence O'Brien of this city, carried off top honors in the swine exhibit with his Duroc boar, with Pat O'Brien, also of St. Joe, taking second place. Tom McDaniel of Wewahitchka was awarded a blue ribbon for his one-year-old Duroc boar. Leo Kennedy of this city carried off a blue ribbon for his sow and litter, and Charles Starling and Don Lanier of Wewahitchka received first awards for gilts. Awards in the agricultural dis- play were made as follows: Mrs. Roland Hardy, Overstreet, pecans; Doris Buttram, Port St. Joe, pump- kins; Mrs. W. G. Harden, Wewa- hitchka, pears and chickens; Mrs. J. A.

Harris Drew won a six-year term on the Florida su- preme court bench by 1,528 votes in last week's special election. Complete officials returns from all counties, tabulated in the office of Secretary of State Bob Gray at Tallahassee, showed Drew got 63,- 791 votes to 62,263 for his oppon- ent, Circuit Judge Vincent C.

(Reprinted from Blountstown Record) As all of you who have been reading this paper know, we are firmly convinced that both candi- dates for president of the United States represent an improvement over what we have been offered in the immediate past. Judging the two able as- pirants by the standards men apply to other men to judge their worth, both end up very well. Admitting the above to be true, and we doubt that any of you will deny it, the inevitable ques- tion arises: What is the difference between a vote for Ike and a vote for Adlai? We think the question is important enough for us to try to answer it. The Democratic party is the party which has engineered our long trip down the road to "Statism" during the past 20 years. This trip, which began during a depression, with a small national debt, has resulted in more prosperity for the average man than any of us felt possible back in 1932. As a nation we are better fed, better housed and more healthy than we have ever been. Even the opposition cannot deny this. Against this we have seen the dollar shrink in value, the individual harassed by his govern- ment, the open espousement of such things as "socialized medicine," government in business and similar excursions into fields that we think are not the province of our government. Perhaps the worst of all these things have been the bland setting up of class against class by a government which was founded on the idea that "all men are created equal."-t is ironical that the eager back- ers of these strange theories pay lip service to Long Tom Jefferson, a man who contended "that TEN YEARS AGO From the Files of The Star Test Air Raid Gets Approval Everything is all set for the big "air raid" on Port St. Joe the night of November 6, as the Gulf County Defense Council has received an okeh for the test from the state de- fense council.

That motion could be another hunter. government is best which governs least." .Now, and we must say this, we are not among those who feel that all which has been accom- plished has been bad. Nor do we feel the Re- publicans will bring about a return to all we think right. We do, however, believe that the Re- publicans are more committed to what we think is the right way than are the Democrats. That is why we are inclined to think they are more truly our party at this time than Truman's party is. It's that simple. THIS MIGHT DO IT! Long after the smoke of battle has drifted over the horizon and the dust has settled: historians may recall the 1952 election as, the biggest turn- out of voters in the nation's history. If advice, urging, and modern sales promotion can bring about a rebirth of civic consciousness, the polls from border to border and coast to coast could be utterly swamped under a sea of votes nearly twice as large as 1948 when only 51% troubled to cast a ballot. In adding their voices to the rising clamor of the press, radio, pulpit, fraternal and labor organizations, American business, big and little, is throwing all the forces of advertising be- hind the call to duty: "Vote as you please but VOTE!"

SUPER-MARKET I CS Port St. Joe, Fla. FRIDAY, OCTOBER 24, 1952 THE STAR, PORT ST. JOE, GULF COUNTY, FLORIDA PAGE FIVE PAE IXTE TAPOT T JEGLFCONTFLRIAFRDAOCOBR24 15 Dog#e Announces A4' New '53 Car The most dramatic changes in the 38-year history of the Dodge passenger car was unveiled in Port St. Joe Thursday, October 23, when Dodge Division of Chrysler Corpor- tion introduced its sensational 1953 "action car." The ne w, completely restyled Dodge with a powerful 140-horse- power Red Ram V-Eight engine went on display in the showroom of the McGowin Motor Company. Sweeping changes in both styling and chassis features plus the un- precedented efficiency of the new engine were announced by W. H. McGowin, local Dodge Plymouth distributor. New beauty and a smooth flow- ing effect were achieved, McGowin revealed, by flavoring the lower, softer lines and increased glass area with a touch of continental design. These attractive styling changes are being offered in the entire 1953 Dodge line which con- sists of 10 different models, Mc- Gowin said. The 140-horsepower Red Ram V- Eight engine is featured in the Cor- onet series, while the popular and dependable six-cylinder engine is retained in the Meadowbrook and Meadowvbrook Special series. The Wayfarer is not included in the '53 Dodge lineup. The highly-touted new Dodge Red Ram V-Eight engine is compact in size and light in weight. It pro- duces more horsepower per cubic inch of displacement than any other automobile engine in volume pro- duction today. Dodge's efficient new power plant is -based on design principles used in high-output aircraft engines. Its horsepower is 140 at 4,400 r. p. m. Displacement is 241.1 cubic inches. It develops this high power output on regular grades of fuel despite its h1igh-compression ratio of 7.1 to 1. More than a dozen other major changes were listed by McGowin. "Body beatuification and the Red Ram engine are definitely high- lights of the all-new 1953 Dodge," he declared, "but there are many other significant features, such as the wide choice of transmissions. And there is. a new steering ease and maneuverability achieved by a more compact chassis design, a new suspension system and an improved steering mechanism." McGowin said that four different types of drive were being offered. They are the new Gyro-Torque drive, to provide lightning response without shifting; Gyro-Matic drive, which offers smooth and easy no- shift driving; automatic overdrive, which provides a fourth "cruising" gear for greater gasoline economy; and standard drive, for those pre- ferring to do their own shifting. An improved control-arm arrange- ment on the front suspension sys- tem causes the 1953' Dodge to resist tilting on turns. And new, softer, two-inch-wide rear springs with fewer leaves contribute to a more comfortable ride. A modified frame design is responsible for increasing the resistance of the car to twist- ing strains of the road. Also level- ing the riding qualities are the time tested Oriflow shock absorbers. Mr. McGowin pointed to the "ac- tion appearance" and beauty of the 1953 Dodge which is marked by lower, longer and more smoothly flowing lines than any previous model. The long, low fender line is continuous from front to rear .and is accented by a softly-blended "kick-up" on the rear fender. Driver and passenger visibility is considerably improved by the use of a one-piece curved windshield and a larger wrap-around rear win- dow that achieves an effect of "watch tower" visibility. Ornamentation on the 1953 Dodge has been completely changed. The hood is one-pie'ce without a center- strip. In order to retain some con- tinuity of Dodge identification, the grille styling, while entirely differ- ent from 1952, still incorporates a touch of the previous model. To promote greater engine efficiency on V-Eight models, the hood medal- lion combines identification with the functional feature of an air scoop to supply cooler air for the carburetor. The rear-end styling of tie 1953 Dodge has a low, sleek continental appearance. Unusual" features in- clude a stern-side gasoline filler pipe cap, mounted directly below the left-hand corner of the trunk lid. New easy to operate pull-type door handles retain the rotor-type latches. On the inside there is a redesigned instrument panel with new style control knobs. Interior styling of all models is highlighted by new fabrics with smart stylist patterns for seat cushions. Door panel trim -has a new and modern touch. Both hiproom and headroom have been further increased. Vent- wing latches are redesigned for easier operation. A wide range of bright, new col- ors and two-tone combinations are available to complement the beauty of the 1953 Dodge. adv. -- -- - County Petroleum Group To Hold Reorganization Session A reorganization meeting of the Gulf county petroleum industries committee will. be lfeld at 10:30 a. mn., October 28, at the Port S&t.

JOE, GULF COUNTY, FLO2IDA PAGE SEVEN ' FIAOCTOBER 24, 95 I / IIT TPG AMENDMENTS LOADED (Continued from page 1) lative act, subject to review by the legislature every two years, not by constitutional amendment, which is cumbersome and difficult to change. Amendment No. 3 is another dilly that is loaded with dynamite. It would drastically change the pres- ent constitution relating to county government. Under the present con- stitutional provisions we have a uniform system of county govern- ment which is subject to change only by constitutional amendment or under the provisions of general state laws, except in some minor situations in which special acts are permitted. Under the far-reaching provisions of Amendment 3 most of these re- strictions are abolished completely and county government could be come almost completely under con- trol of special ,acts of the legisla- ture. Nothing could be more dan gerous, for such acts are usually passed with no consideration, but rather as a legislative courtesy to local Iegisaltors. This could easily lead to county government by a lo- cal clique and political boss control instead of orderly systematic con- trol by general state laws. Amendment No. 4 would author- ize an additional circuit judge for Leon county. Maybe one is needed and maybe not. The average voter doesn't know and isn't inclined to go to the trouble to find out. The same situation applies to Amendments 5 and 6. These two t amendments would create two new senatorial districts-one for Mon- roe and one for Bay and Washing- * ton counties-increasing the power of the small county against the - metropolitan areas. We now have 38 senators, do we need 40? S Space in a single column does not permit a review of all 11 amennd- ments that voters are being asked to consider in November, but I have tried to give you some highlights on a number of them. As far as I can see, these amend- ments for the most part contain a lot of dynamite, and there is more to be said against them than for - them.

A report is- sued by the American Forest Pro- ducts Industries last week showed 3.561,3SS acres of Florida woodlands were, J)urned last year by 25,392 fires.

Despite Florida's heavy fire loss the nation's fire protection record was the best in history. Only 10, 780,622 acres were burned.
