PORT ST. JOE A Progressive Community With a Modern, Progressive A Weekly Newspaper ------ THE STAR THE STAR Published in Port St. Joe But Devoted To the Con- tinued Development of Gulf Cb6nty' . "Port St. Joe-- The Outlet Port for the Apalachicola-Chattahoochee Valley" VOLUME XVI Single Copy 8c PORT ST. JOE, FLORIDA FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 1952. $3.00 Per Year NUMBEB.9 Gulf County Aids In Naming 'Ike' I President of U.S. Gives Him 460 Votes And Stevenson 1,714; Okehs L School Amendment While Gulf county remained in the Democratic column Tuesday, it contributed its bit toward carrying Florida: for Eisenhower by giving him 460 votes while Stevenson got 1,714 of the 2,175 ballots cast. This was one. of the largest votes ever' rolled up in Gulf county. In the 1948 presidential election a total .of 1,580 votes were counted, with 1,219 go- ing to Truman, 209 to Thurmond, 146 to Dewey and 5 to Wallace. Returns yesterday from practic- ally all of Florida's precincts gave Eisenhower 553.524 votes to 435,429 for Stevenson, and as the count neared completion the state vote was rapidly nearing the million mark. The highest vote ever re- corded in Florida was 737,000 in the primaries last May. In the governor's contest, Gulf county gave Dan McCarty an over- whelming vote of confidence by chalking up 1,718 votes for him against 62 for Harry S. Swan, his Republican opponent. Almost com- plete returns throughout the state gave McCarty 654,861 votes to 208,- 062 for Swan. 'The Star did not list the names of all candidates on the ballot, county, state and national, since none had opposition and conse- quently all were elected. However, U. S. Senator Spessard L. Holland received 1,567 votes and Congress- man Bob Sikes chalked up' 1,584. Gulf county went along with the rest of the state on the 11 constitu- tional amendments, okehing No. 1, -the school building amendment, by a vote of 775 to 362 and turning thumbs down on the other ten. While we have incomplete fig- ures on the no-fence amendment affecting all counties west of the Apalachicola River except Frank- lin, we understand it was voted upon favorably. Gulf county gave the proposition 37'5 favorable votes and 359 against. Bone In Throat Almost Fatal for Local Woman Mrs. H. A. Campbell Undergoing Treatment In Atlanta Hospital For Punctured Esophagus Mrs. H. A. Campbell, wife of H. A. Campbell, local druggist, is in an Atlanta, Ga., lhospital undergo- ing treatment for a punctured eso- phagus caused when she swallowed a chicken bone Monday night of last week. The puncture became infected and Wednesday afternoon she was rushed to Tyndall Field in the Com- forter'ambulance where a C-45 Air Force plane was waiting to' fly her to an Atlanta specialist, the punc- ture having become infected and caused an abscess. She was accom- panied on the flight to Atlanta by her husband. The special plane was arranged by Tyndall officials after it was learned that the only hope of saving Mrs. Campbell's life was to get her to Atlanta as quickly as possible. Mr. Campbell informed The Star yesterday that his wife had been operated on and the infection drained and that the doctors at Emory Hospital state that her gen- eral condition is good. ,TJ2, 4 AMERICA LIKES IKE UNOFFICIAL GULF COUNTY RETURNS The Star is indebted to George Core, clerk of circuit court, for the fol- lowing unofficial tabulation on Tuesday's election in Gulf county: Candidates and Amendments For the next four years the official acts of this nation will be sealed by the signature "Dwight David Eisenhower." But to all America he will still be "Ike"-President Ike, now that he's received the ultimate promotion that only the people, by their individual, soul-searching decision could confer. Few men in the world's military history have risen from obscurity to the pinnacle of their profession as swiftly as our president-elect. And probably no general before him ever commanded such a mighty host under such organizational difficulties and in the face of so many national prejudices and jealousies. But through it all, as his authority grew and his prestige mounted, he remained just plain "Ike." This, we like to,believe, is.the basic, underlying _reason he could blow on the emnbei's, of'utter defeat in the Lowlands and France and kindle from them the flame of confidence that swept across Europe to consume the Nazi might. Because he's just plain Ike, his fellow citizens have made him president. That's why they listened respectfully to his heroic efforts to become an orator. But they didn't want words. They hungered for leadership and thirsted for forth- rightness. They wanted a man who could face squarely the bleakness of Korea, the rising tide of Communism that threat- ens to engulf the globe, foreign aid policies that can de- stroy the aider Without giving strength to the aided, and do- mestic policies (including "the mess") that undermine the self-respect, the strength, the very freedom of the last really free people on earth and bit by bit build a battle plan and execute if in the face of the terrible odds appeasement has raised against us. In Ike, the American people have such a man. And they have a man, too, that they would like to invite home to din- ner-whether they live in Port St. Joe or Kalamazoo, Mich. Sgt. Parker Completes Administrative Course Sgt. William J. Parker, son of Mrs. Tom E. Parker and the late Mr. Parker of this city, recently completed an administrative course at the army's 5th general hospital in Stuttgart, Germany. ISimplification of paper work at the hospital was stressed during the course in a program to conserve manpower, material and money. Parker, who entered the army in September 1948, is assigned to the hospital's, medical service. He lives in Fellbach, Germany, with his wife, Mary. Expected Here On Furlough T/Sgt. and Mrs. Claude Cowart and baby of Warner Robins, Ga., are expected to arrive this week- end to spend a 30-day furlough.here with Sgt. Cowart's parents, Mr. and Mrs. E. Y. Cowart. He will leave December 13 to report to Camp Stoneman, Calif., from whence he will go to Alaska for a tour of duty. Special Officer To Enforce Parking On Reid Avenue Beginning December 1, the city will rigidly enforce the two-hour parking regulations on Reid Ave- nue, and a special police officer will be assigned whose sole job will be to see that motorists ob- serve the parking law. He will pay special attention to the 15-minute parking zones in front of the post- office. So, folks, after December 1 watch your parking time on Reid, for it will cost you money-up to $5.00 maximum for each violation. Visitors From Georgia Mr. and Mrs. Howard Farr and Mrs. Nancy Cooper of Ochlocknee. Ga.. arrived Tuesday for a week's visit here with Mr. and Mrs. George Cooper and expect to do some plain and fancy fishing while here. Mrs. Cooper is Mr. Cooper's mother and has passed her 90th birthday. Mrs. Farr is Mr. Cooper's sister. ui For President and Viice-President- Stevenson Sparkman 281 224 52 Eisenhower Nixon..-- 39 33 3 For Governor- Dan McCarty (Dem.) --255 209 52 Harry S.

Our Country .-- Right or Wrong FAR FROM DEAD It isn't enough to temporarily block socialis- tic measures and then forget about them in the happy hope that they're buried forever. For socialism need win just once to become so firmly established as to be next to impossible to unseat. The cause of freedom must win every time. The editor of The Star has been ranting against socialized medicine for several years past, and that is the issue in point of this editorial. It is obvious that the administration's compulsory health insurance bill is in the doldrums. Con- gress wants no part of it, the Republican party strongly opposed it, and the Democratic party officially ignored it when framing its campaign planks. Yet its advocates have not given up the fight. They are biding their time, and in the in- terim they are trying to whittle away at the-struc- ture of free medicine through a series of little- publicized bills which would give federal bu- reaus a strong hand in directing certain phases of medical practice and education. The plan to partial subsidize medical schools with our tax money is an excellent example. Superficially, it has an appeal-its backers urge that there would be no strings attached and that freedom of'iedu- cation would be guaranteed. But the fact re- mains that those who do the paying always call the tune-and that is doubly true when a group of politicians are involved. Every sampling of public opinion has shown that the American people are overwhelmingly against compulsory health insurance, socialized medicine, or anything else that would subject the doctor and the teacher to the bureaucrat. But those who have tasted the heady wine of politi- cal power have small respect for the thinking of the people. They are masters of camouflage and of devious tactics. Socialized medicine is far from dead. It is lying dormant for the moment-and it must be watched with a clear, cold eye if it is to be kept that way. NOTHING BUT THE BEST We would like to report that erection of the inaugural stand at the east portico of the capitol in Washington is progressing splendidly. The job was only started 15 weeks in advance of the ceremony on January 20, and will cost a mere $99,700. It will be an exact duplicate of the one they built last time. To rent a knock-down stard, erected from prefabricated members, would be too quick, easy and economical. Every morning you are handed 24 golden hours. They are one of the things in this world of high prices and high taxes that you get free of charge, whether you want them or not. If you had all the money in the world you couldn't buy an extra hour. If you were the meanest beggar in the world you could not be deprived of a single minute. Wasted time is even a greater calamity than wasted money or wasted health. Either of these you may regain but hours, days, months and years are gone forever. This is printed on Tuesday, but regardless of whether the lying, hypocritical Republicans or the unscrupulous thieving Democrats place their man in the White House, our country probably will continue to exist for another four years des- pite the dire predictions of both parties. City taxes are now due, and City Clerk Ben Dickens Jr., says: "You should smile when pay- ing 'em." Mebbe he's right, but that would be just about as hard to -do as to whistle while Doc King is pulling a tooth. Your friend (he ain't ours) Harry S. Truman brought to his just-completed whistle stop tour all the deference, the deep logic, the profound wisdom of a hog caught in a gate.

"This will save our sending a truck and crew to check such a fire when they maiy be needed else- where on a wild fire," he said. The new law, passed by the last legislature, makes persons who set wildfires, or let their own fires get out of control, liable for property damages and cost of suppressing the fires, in addition to possible criminal prosecution under an older law.

A. Hardy. "While we do hope any burning will be done properly, the Florida forest fire laws do not prevent land- owners from burning their own wood lands as they see fit," he said. However, Hardy points out, the law does require landowners who are going to burn their lands to give notice to neighbors one to 10 days before the burning is done; provide fire lines, manpower and equipment to control the fire at all times; watch the fire until it is completely out, and prevent its es- cape to neighbor's land. The law does not require land- owners to report their burning to the Florida Forest Service Ranger Hardy added, however, he says, he would appreciate the co-operation of all landowners in reporting when E. P. Sholtz of Pensacola will be the guest instructor and the public is invited to attend. There will be -no admission charge. The club hopes the residents of the city and surrounding communi- ties will take advantage of this op- portunity to get some ideas and in- formation that will improve our homes and community during the coming holiday season. 1950 Buick "8" 4-Door with Dynaflow.

Then Hunt Marsh Hens Hunted Comparatively: Little, ;But 60,000 Bagged Annually In State; Season Closes November 13 Don't overlook the marsh hen,.is the advice of the state game and fresh water fish commission, which states that although the species is not as popular as quail, dove and turkey, hunters are missing some real sport if they haven't been get- ting their share of hunting these birds. The season opened Septem- ber 15 and will close November 13. Not being a nimrod, the editor of The Star can't say as to how plen- tiful these 'birds are in this section, but they are said to be found in some numbers in most areas of the state, and since we have some salt and brackish marshes here- about which offer food and cover, we have our suspicion that they are available. Strictly a mash bird, the clapper rail (that's the high-falutin' name for 'em) hides so successfully in the high grasses that it is difficult to flush except when the wind brings flood tides. Marsh hen hunt- ing during normal tides is a strictly haphazard affair (it says here). Hunting is generally done with a boat-pushed, pulled or paddled through the marsh at high tide. Gen- erally one man handles the boat while the other does the shooting. The hunters go from one clump of grass to another from which the birds may be flushed during high water. Once bagged, the birds should be soaked overnight in a strong solution of salt and water before cooking (sounds suspicious- ly like the "mud hens" we used to get in California had a strong fishy flavor unless soaked). The daily 'bag limit this year is 15, and shooting hours are from a half hour before sunrise to sunset. Hunting from a motorboat, inboard or outboard engine, is prohibited. The marsh hen is a medium-sized bird. 12 to 14 inches long, with moderately long legs, neck and bill. The upper parts are a dark grayish olive brown, the breast and stom- ach are grayish :buff, and the flanks are barred with 'black and white. Although it may be seldom seen, the marsh hen is heard readily enough. At low tide especially, al- most any sudden noise will set off a clacking chorus thru the marsh as one bird after another joins in. While preferring to run or walk about, marsh hens can swim as well as fly. In fact, if not killed cleanly, they often escape by diving and swimming under water. Surprisingly, in view of the fact that there is comparatively little of the kind of hunting done, it is esti- mated that some 50,000 to 60,000 birds are killed each season in Florida. ------- 0(.- ----- HEART ATTACK FATAL (Continued from page 11 Meadows of Dan, Va., Mrs. Robert Jones of Montgomery, Ala., and Mrs. Z.
