JOE, FLORIDA FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 1952 $3.00 Per Year NUMBER 10 Sharks Take A Thriller From Bonifay Eleven Game Filled With Many Thrills; Sharks Tie For Second Place In Conference Port 'St. Joe's Sharks won a thriller from the Bonifay Blue De- vils last Friday with a score of 26 to 13. Bonifay led off in the touchdown department with one in the first quarter with 'Birnes carrying the ball, but failed to convert for the 'extra point. '. McCall crossed the goal line in the second quarter for 'St. Joe with Dennis, kicking the extra -point to put the locals in front by one point. Williamson of the Sharks thrilled the crowd with a 52-yard broken field dash in the second quarter but time played out before the Sharks could push across another tally in the first half. During the halftime period, both Sthe Bonifay and Port St. Joe High School bands took the field for very impressive half time cere- monies. The Bonifay band used the jazz theme for their pageant, and the local 'band depicted a trip down through Florida to the Keys and back up to the home port. As in the first half, Bonifay crossed the line for paydirt on the second play in .the second and it looked bad fOr the Sharks. Bur. lhey, sialc t'u'a i rally anA started on the march. In the third quarter Ri- chards pushed across' a touchdown and failed to convert to make the score read 13-13. In the third 'quar- ter Bonifay again found their way across the goal with a thrilling run by Barnes but the play was recalled because of holding by, a Bonifay player. - In the third period Williamson of the Sharks intercepted the ball during a Bonifay play and carried it to within one foot of the goal 'before 'he was brought down. in a flying tackle. 'The Bonifay line showed their stuff then and held the blue and gold to the one foot line for three downs but the St. ,Joe boys managed to push the pigskin over on the fourth down, to put the Sharks in the lead 19 to 13. In the fourth period thd Sharks received their only penalty of the game and received a 15-yard (Continued on page 8) P.-T. A. Chapter Receives Convention "Blue Ribbon" The P.-T. A. president, Mrs..

OUR POLICY Our policy for The Star, noW that we are the new owners, isn't complicated or hard to under- stand. We are simply going to do our best to produce for Port St. Joe a truly "home town" news- paper. We sincerely hope that with the help of our many read- ers and subscribers, we will be able to do this. We believe in printing -the NEWS AS IT HAPPENS, and we will strive to do this at all times. We will err, as we are cqmpara- tively new to the editing game having had just a smattering of experience in this particular field. The Star has always, and will continue to stand for what is right for the community as a whole. This newspaper is dedi- -cated to the community and will remain a community service. The Star is an independent newspaper and will never be bought or persuaded to do harm to any innocent person. We will uphold the right and condemn the wrong to the utmost of our ability. We feel that we will succeed in our goal for a bigger and bet- ter newspaper for Port St. Joe, as we were started in th'e right direction some nine and.a half n years ago by a most competent teacher. We have seen nojie, yet, that could beat him. We are talk- ing, of course, of-our.. w'-rc$'tor Bill. He says he is going to write and travel, .but we say ie just didn't have time enough to play l with his now-famous electric train time will tell. WESLEY R. RAMSEY Editor and Publisher Friday's Game Sees Prowess of Many Fine Young Players Real Talent Is Shown By Local .Boys On Gridiron: People Urged To Back Team By HARRY McKNIGHT For the sake of the records a couple of errors in last week's story about the St. Joe Sharks footballei's are to be corrected. It was mentioned. in my story that Dennis and Jammes played guard, when it should have said that their positions are at end. Both of these boys are developing well. Jammes is a newcomer to the squad and will be lost to them af- ter this season as he is moving' away. Dennis is seeing his second full year of action and is fast be- comihg adept at place kicking, having been responsible for a number of boots between the up- rights for extra points this season. Besides playing his regular po- Smathers States Policy In Talk Here Monday Assures People of Full Representation In Washington Promises Close Harmony With Fellow Senators George Smatlhers, Junior Senator from t~he State of Florida, gave an interesting and entertaining talk to an invited grbup of Port St. Joe businessmen and Democrats at an informal barbecue dinner held Monday night on the Centennial Auditorium lawn. He spoke to above 200 people after a,sumptious feast of barbecued ribs and chicken.

Mayor Jake Belin started the program by presenting Gulf Coun- ty's Representative-elect Cecil G, Costin, Jr., who in turn introduced state Senator-elect George Tapper. Tapper then introduced Mr. Sma- thers. The Senator started off his ad- dress by congratulating both Costin -and Tapper on their victories in the past election. Smathers made the remark that he didn't see how Costin could lose an election in this section as he understood that Costin had more relatives here than the Williams family. Smathers said that in his opinion "you'll see George Tapper do more than -just being Senator from this area. Smathers expressed his regret that he didn't get to this part of the state more often and compar- ed the length of the, district that he had to cover, besides taking care of his duties, in Wslhlinglo.. ,as great .in. lngthr as the distance. *from- sacleonvile. to Philade pila. He assured the crowd that he had every part of his district strictly in mind when he was on the legis- lative floor and that they could be assured of full representation at all times- The Senator said that he and other representatives from Florida, Congressman Bob Sikes and Sena- tor iSpessard Holland, are work- ing strictly hand in hand and not bucking each other. He made as- surances that the Southern sena- tors and congressmen were going along hand in hand to further the interests of the South. Smathers made the statement that $10,500,000 has been allotted for the continued development of the Jim Woodruff Dam project and that the work would be carried on despite the change in adminis- tration. He expressed the belief that the project would be a tre- mendous boost for this vicinity. (Continued on page 8) Gilliard Home Damaged By Fire Sunday Afternoon The top story of the B. C. Gil- liard home on Monument-Avenue was totally demolished by fire Sunday in the middle of the after- noon. 'The bottom story suffered heavily from water damage. The Gilliards were out of town at the time and the fire was dis- covered by a neighbor only after the fire had made a good start.' Prompt action by the local fire department saved the bottom from being completely destroyed and removed most of the furniture in the lower floor. ST. JOE HARDWARE CO.

Chamber- lain, federal aid wildlife co-ordina- tor. Basing an opinion upon the sta- tistics gathered in the survey, Chamberlain forecast a record harvest of ducks and geese this year for Florida's waterfowl hun- ters. In this section, commission pi- lots spotted large populations of ducks at the mouth of the Escam- bia River, in the northeast, east, and southeast corners of Chocta- watchee Bay, and in many lakes in Holmes, Washington and Leon Counties, with the largest concen- trations reported in Lakes lamonia and Miccosukee, near Tallahassee. The St. Johns River Valley, Lake Okeechobee and the Kissimmee River Valley, favorite resting places for the migrant birds, still top the list of best duck shooting areas with thousands of varied species of ducks using these wa- terways. Good prospects were also out- lined by Chamberlain for goose hunting which formerly was con- fined largely to the coastal areas of northwest Florida but which this year kas spread over other sections of the State with unusu- ally large numbers of Canadas be- ing reported in South and Central Florida regions. "Wakulla, Leon and other coun- ties between Dixie and Franklin are still the major goose hunting places, but some Canadas can also -be found in'South Florida." The game biologist predicted one of the best seasons in the last decade for sportsmen interested in shooting the. migratory 'game birds. "Our duck and goose popu- lations have not yet hit their win- ter peak. and when they do Flor- ida will 'be able to offer the sports- men excellent duck and goose shooting opportunities," he added. This year waterfowl hunters will have ten extra days for the shooting of these birds with the season opening five days earlier than last year and ending January 10, five days later than the 1951- 52 season. Regulations this year also allow a person to kill a daily limit of 321 Reid Avenue PORT ST. JOE, FLORIDA NOTICE!

People who live here from day to day, month after month, are likely not to be aware of the constant improvement in our comfort- able, yet aggressive, community. Since we have returned to Port St. Joe to make our home after a five year absence, one of the first things that struck us is the growth and improvement that has taken place in our "home town". We think that the new city hall is one of the best and certainly the most needed improvement here. Certainly any town this size should be proud of our beautiful city hall. A new business has opened here, another firm opened up there, new highway projects, hospital improvements, better school facilities, improved facilities for church and Sunday Schools. And here we want to congratulate the Methodist congregation on their new and beau- tiful church building at the intersection of Monument Avenue and Constitution Drive. What does all this indicate? It indicates that Port St. Joe is progressing steadily and normally. It is the type of growth that means firm establishment and continued improvement. Occasionally our people grow restless. Things do not seem to move along fast enough and The Star is glad that they feel that way about it. Nothing is so disgusting as a self-satis- fied citizenship without aspirations, fixed pur- pose or ambition. Port St. Joe is growing today-every day- maybe not as fast as most of us would like to see it grow-but this community is moving forward. The only sensible, worthy thing for us to do is*to keep hard at work, never yield to tem- porary disappointment should we fail to accom- plish as much as we desire; remain ever alert to advance and general interests of our com- munity, adding a little here and a little there.

W. S. Smith, Retired Mayor of Buckhorn Well, folks, it feels good to be in the same class with W. W. Barrier, Nick Comforter and Frank Brown, all of whom have nothing to do but drift uptown and sit around the po- lice station chewing the rag with our mastodonic police force. We have just learned, through our godd friend Harland Pridgeon, new tax collector for Gulf county, that Stardust Lodge is located right smack kerdab in the middle of the thriving town of Buckhorn and that since the recent demise of Bud Brockett that we have become sole owner of the title of "Mayor of Buckhorn.' We never did care much for politics, but since this honorary title, along with "Colonel" con- ferred on us by three governors, doesn't require any politicking or campaign promises, we are happy indeed to accept the honor .... We have also heard rumors that the True Blue 'Gators have their eye upon us membership in that exclu- sive organization. That would auto- matically make our wife a Sister of the Skillet with all the honors that go therewith, such as chopping the wood, hoeing the garden, baiting our fishook, etc., not to mention paddling the boat while we fish leisurely. ... Anyhow, we know we are going to enjoy ourselves just doing nothing for a time after de- voting better than 15 years to con- cocting such tripe as this for the edification of readers of The Star. The latest ruling of the internal revenue bureau states unequivoc- ally: "It is the opinion of this of- fice that American -beauty never becomes obsolete." And the tax- gatherer's corollary is-it therefore can't be depreciated for tax pur- poses. To go back to the be- gining, the head of a model agency in which 25 youthful models are stockholders, tossed a new tax prob- lem in the bureau's lap when the head of the agency explained that the firm's sole corporate and cor- poreal asset is the beauty of its members, and couldn't they deduct for tax purposes, therefore, beauty depreciation resulting from "age, exhaustion, obsolesence or other- wise?" In combining gal- lantry with duty the official ruling ,of the 'bureau would cause a Solo- mon to blush: "It would appear," the bureau opined, "that the value of such corporate assets, which value is undisputed by this office, may not be depreciated." No, young ladies, your glamor is no "Is it true what they say about Dixie?" THIS YEAR, tourists will spend several billion dollars in the South. They have become the South's fastest-growing crop. They come to enjoy our wonderful climate; to see our mountains, lakes and beaches . our wealth of scenery and spots of historic interest. And, because of our world-wide repu- tation for "Southern hospitality," they expect a smile as warm as our sunshine. J. LAMAR MILLER, Agent No one has done more to encourage and facilitate tourist travel in the South than those STANDARD OIL dealers whose stations dot the highways from the Ohio River to Key West. Down through the years they have secured trip-routings, furnished road maps, provided the on-the-road conveniences which made the tourist's stay more pleasant shown that "It's true what they say about Dixie."

In its fifty years of ser- vice, the Society has helped more than 60.000 children. Two of -these children were Jane and Peter. They were bright, well- developed a.t t a c t iv e children. They lived in the 'same boarding home for a period of observation before going into adoptive homes. They were between five and six months of age when the above picture was taken. Perhaps you can detect something of their per- sonalities from their facial ex- pressions. Jane's mother was a 19-year-old girl who came from a good, snb- stantial family living in a small city in Florida. She and Jane's father had gone together for two years and had planned marriage. Unfortunately, he was sent to Ko- rea and Jane was born eight months afterwards. The mother still had hopes that she and Jane's father might marry and establish a home but this hope was de- stroyed when the father was killed in service. Jane's mother had loved her, and it was very hard for her to decide to let the child go for adoption. Jane's expression seems to reflect her knowledge that she was a loved baby. Peter, on the other hand was _the youngest in a family of four children. His father deserted the family shortly before he was born. for a while the mother tried to struggle along and take care of her children by going out to work, but leaving the children at the mercy of poor help just didn't work out.

Little Walter Wilder cinched the game in the last quarter with a thrilling run right over the backs of the St. Joe and Bonifay line- men and ran twenty-five yards for the last touchdown of the game. The extra point was chalked up with a pass and St. Joe left the field with a 26-13 lead over Boni- fay. Last Friday's game put the Sharks in a tie for second place in the Northwest Florida Confer- ence. In strictly conference play, the Sharks have won two and lost one. Coach Craig stated to the Star that all the teams that the Sharks-have played this year are not in the conference and that-the local team would have had to play five conference teams to be eligible for the conference playoff. *------yt------ Mr. and Mrs. D.

The Senator said he did not see this as an endorse- ment of the Republican party by Florida voters and foresaw no drastic change in the operation of the government. Smathers vehemently denounced compulsory FEPC and upheld States Rights with the same vigor. He said the only way to meet the means of FEPC without forcing it down the public's throat was thru education. He lauded the South on their recent progress in inter- racial relations and declared it a 'step forward in carrying out the democratic principles on which this c untry was founded. He urged the Democratic party to re- turn to the principles of the father of the Democrats, Thomas Jeffer- son, and to abide by his beliefs which are plainly written down in his draft of the Declaration of In- dependence. He declared these principles to be the -only salva- tion of the country and the Demo- cratic party. In closing Smathers declared himself a conservative and a mid- dle-of-the-roader. He pledged him- self to the upholding of policies that would better our country and the Southland and declared he would never surrender to any half way measures or injurious policies.
