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

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.

For the sake of the records a
couple of errors in last week's

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-

having been responsible for a

Mayor Jake Belin started the

state Senator-elect George Tapper.
Tapper then introduced Mr. Sma-

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.

Congressman Bob Sikes and Sena-
tor iSpessard Holland, are work-
ing strictly hand in hand and not

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.

By Fire Sunday Afternoon

The top story of the B. C. Gil-
liard home on Monument-Avenue

Sunday in the middle of the after-
noon. 'The bottom story suffered

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.

Waterfowl In State

In Great Numbers

Large Duck Population Spotted
In This Section of the State

A recently-completed aerial sur-
vey by pilots and waterfowl biolo-
gists of the game and fresh water
fish commission has revealed
heavy concentrations of ducks and
geese throughout the entire state,
according to Edward B. 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-

"-''" Right or Wrong


PORT ST. JOE HAS GROWN
Do you observe that Port St. Joe is growing?
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.
Cities don't grow, it has been said. They're
built.


more depreciable than the brains, Pecan Crop
eyesight and general stamina of The Alabama 1950 pecan crop is
tired old retired editors like us who not as large as in some other years,
being estimated at 7,150,000 pounds
sit up all night writing pieces like of improved varieties. In 1949 12,-
this! 700,000 pounds were harvested.

STARDUST and

MOONSHINE
By Col. 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."

Home Doing Magnificient Job of Caring For and
Finding Good Homes For Unfortunate Children


November 17, 1952 was the Gol-
den Anniversary of the founding
of the Children's Home Society of
Florida. 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. Finally, the mother de-

Arrows .Sings
Arrows used in modern archery
are generally crested. That is, they
have bright painted rings near their
vanes so that, when two or more
archers are shooting at the same
target, each one can identify his
arrows. These stripes, which are
painted on, must be uniform in or-
der to present a neat, attractive ap-
pearance. The paint is brushed on,
using special lathes to rotate the
arrows.

seen lots of action already this
year, but hitherto mostly in a sup-

A definite movement is now un-

we will all be proud of. Every citi-
zen is being given the opportunity
to identify himself with this pro-
ject, so don't let yourself be left
out of the picture, Mr., Mrs. and
Miss Citizen. Put the new athletic
field in your budget now as you

loss due to the illegal use of hands.
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.

Smathers
(Continued from page 1)
Senator Smathers said he didn't
believe the good Florida Demo-
crats deserted the party and "went
Republican" in the recent election,
but merely voted for the most
popular man of our time, General
Eisenhower. 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.
