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

Mrs. Tom E. Parker and the late

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.

Sharks' Fifth Victory
The St. Joe Sharks defeated the
Blountstown Tigers by a score of
25 to 6 in their fifth victory of the
season last Friday night. In the
first few minutes of the game, Rob-
bert Walters scored for the Sharks'.
Other touchdowns for St. Joe were
made by Ronnie Chism, Freddy Mc-
Call and Benny Roberts. Joe Red-
fern made the lone counter for the
visitors.
The Sharks trek to Graceville to-
day for their third conference game


performance during half time at
the football game last Friday night
centered around the presidential
campaign. Marching in front of the
band were two students carrying
placards with drawings of an ele-
phant and a donkey. The band ren-
dered "Who," followed by a short
skit demonstrating candidates try-
ing to outtalk each other using cor-
nets. Following the skit, the win-
ner of the presidential election was
announced. The band marched off
the field playing "There'll Be A Hot
Time In the Old Town Tonight."
The Blountstown band also took
the field and formed an "S" for St.
Joe. and then played the Blounts-
town alma mater.

and where they are going to burn
land. "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.
Report all woods fires to your
county dispatcher at White City,
telephone number 1-long, on forest
service telephones, or get the op-
erator on commercial phones to
connect you with the dispatcher;
ask for St. Joe Tower.

I Must, However, Give Advance No-
tice, Provide Fire Lines and
Prevent Fire Spreading

Contrary to what many landown-
ers may think, they can legally
burn over their own lands "when,
where and how they want to," says
County Ranger H. 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.

the local Eisenhower-for-President
headquarters during the campaign,
was considerably startled Monday
morning when she came to unlock
the door. Suspended from a hook
over the door was a big rancid
chunk of sowbelly with the buttons
on bearing a sign: 'Repu'blican
Ham." She cut it down but didn't
say how she disposed of it. After
all, with pork so scarce right now,
that's her little secret.

Looking for A Thrill?

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.
