Very Bright Beef Cattle
Future Predicted In
Marketing Report

Florida produced fruits and vege-
tables in outstanding volume last
year, but the prices and profits
picture was not as bright.
The State Marketing Bureau an-
nual report, released in Jackson-
ville Monday by Frank H. Scruggs,
market news specialist, said vege-
tables showed a good increase in
value and miscellaneous fruits a
,moderate increase, but the big
volume item-citrus-had a de-
crease.
Total production for the 1951-52
season was 375,599 carloads com-
pared to 331,989 in 1950-51. The
gross value was $367,136,000 com-
pared to $385,116,000 for the pre-
vious year.
Vegetable volume of 114,905
carloads with a gross value of
$158,754,000 was the bright feature
of the past season. Miscellaneous


fruits had 26,105 carload volume
and $18,259,000 value.
Citrus production was 119,100,-
000 boxes with a gross value of
$190,123,000.
Scruggs predicted a very bright
beef cattle future for the state
and said federal estimates show
more beef cattle in Florida now
than total cattle six years ago,
In 10 years Florida has increased
beef cattle numbers 7.0 per ceiit to
1 million. The average value of
all cattle a head is $119 almost six
times greater than in 1940.
"Since Florida has relatively
light soils and cannot as yet
strongly compete with grain areas
for feeding steers, one of the
soundest types of cattle marketing
has been the selling of calves,"
Scruggs said.
However, he reported low grade
or inferior types of cattle make up
75 to 80 per cent of the numbers
sold.

Florida Abolishes 'Hiway Patrolmen'

In Move to Simplify Dept. Desk Work


The Floridia Department of
Public Safety abolished its high-
way Patrolmen on New Year's Day.
Whoa there! for a minute, and
let's do a little explaining before
you get the idea that the state is
without the uniformed men who
protect my life and your's on the
highway.
After almost 13 years of oper-
ations, the Department of Public
Safety now designates its former
Patrolmen as "State Troopers",
and that was effective January 1.
It was all done for the sake of
the elimination of over-lapping ter-
minology, such as districts within
districts, and Patrolmen being cal

will be automatically advanced to
"Troopers" instead of "Patrolmen".
and those who are still patrol re-
cruit trainees will be known as
"Patrolmen."
Authorization for the terminolo-
gy change was given by the Execu-
tive Board a few days ago in a
special meeting.
Actually the inner operations
and advantages of the terminolo-
gy change means very little to the
average man on the street.
Patrol Director H. N. Kirlkman
expJlaned that the change is pri-
marily to increase efficiency of
the Patrol's operations in its re-
ports and book work.
Nonetheless, to the motorist, the
primary change to remember is
that it is no longer "Patrolman
John Doe", but rather "Trooper
John Doe."

have often wondered just how ef-
fective it is and how much waste
circulation has to be considered.'.
One thing for sure, when you go,
in for calendars you have plenty-
of competition and unless you are-
prepared to send out good ones
you would be better off putting,-
your money in newspaper or mag-
azine advertising.
While I am compelled to use-
calendars like everybody else, *7
can't say that I like the fool things:
any more than I like clocks. They
are constantly reminding you ot
something and getting iii your ha i.
They herald the first-of the month
and that means a flock- of- bibL-.
the landlord and similar unpleasan.-
tries; they also advise that it is
the last of the month and that.
means balancing the books, geti-
ing out the bills and a lot of extra
work that interferes with your-
fishing.
They are the backbone of "Days'"
and "Weeks" and "Months" that
are officially proclaimed for this:
and that. Fathers Day, Mothers.
Day.. Pay Day. Apple Week, Boys.
Club Week. Dairy Month and a:
hundred others. If there is a day,
week or month left on the calendar-
that hasn't been designated or de-
dicated to something I don't know
what it is, and if anybody took the-
fool things seriously they woukl.
be so blamed busy observing this-.
or that they just wouldn't have
time for anything else.
Then there are birthdays and7
anniversaries to contend with, to
say nothing of March 15. A guy
jumps out of bed in the morning
ready for a good day's work andi
he says to himself, this is Mon-
day. He comes down to breakfast:-
and the little woman is in a pout
and asked if you- have forgottemr
what day this is.
"Sure, I know what day it is,"
he blurts out, "It's Monday." Them
she bursts into tears and he learns
the hard way that it's their wed-
ding anniversary or the canary's;
'birthday or something.
He picks up his morning paper
and learns that it is also Ground
Hog Day, Pay-Your-Doctor Day-
and the beginning of National
Wear Suspenders Week. And the
good old reliable calendar reminds
him that it is also the day his note
comes due at the bank.
-Sometimes I wonder-what it was-
like before the days of so-called
civilization, when therd were no
clocks or calendars and the Stone
Age man would get up in the morn-
ing and find himself with a nice,
brand new day on his hands that
didn't have a lot of labels tacked
on it or wasn't messed. up witl
seconds, minutes and hours.
But I got clocks and calenda-r
and I'm stuck with 'em, so all I
can do is say "Happy New Year"'
and hope for the best.

Justice Dept. Drops

Du Pont Charges

WILMINGTON, Del.,-Crawford
H. Greenwalt, president of the Du-
:Pont Company, today noted that
rhe Department of Justice had
:made no public mention of the fact
"That it had withdrawn a criminal
:antitrust charge, filed. in .1948.
against Du Pont in the Federal
.iDstrict Court in Pittsburgh, Pa. He
was referring to the dropping of an
indictmentt accusing the company
:and a retired employee, Henry
2Lackey, of conspiring with six oth-
er companies to fix prices, dis-
'c^ounts and terms of sale of wood
finishes.
"Although the Antitrust Division
-showed no distaste for publicity
at the time the indictment was ob-
zained, it seems now as though
its attitude has changed," Mr.
Greenewalt said. "It is now ap-
parent that if anybody is going to
tell the public that this case
against Du Pont was dropped, it
wiN have to be the defendant.
Other companies concerned in
the proceeding elected to plead

IT'S A SURE SIGN
Ever since the inception of the aid to Eu-
rope, various politicians and groups of politi-
cians have taken a stand on this matter either
for or against with miles of paper containing
facts and figures for both arguments. It is a
good sign that they are at least taking an inter-
est in where our money goes, yours and mine.
Nevertheless, arguments or no arguments, the
United States has continued since the close of
the second World War to pour money, machin-
ery, foodstuffs and armaments into the Euro-
pean countries in order to .help put them on a
self-sustaining basis.
We believe that most of the countries of
Europe appreciated this aid enough to help
champion the cause of democracy in that strife-
ridden continent, where methods of manufac-
ture and agriculture have remained as they were
hundreds of years ago in many of the countries,
even with the pace of today's living which calls
for mass production and phenomenal crop yields
to feed the growing world population.
The United States has done its bit toward
helping European people to become educated
in the better and faster method of producing
things and food.
Within the last few weeks reports have
come over the radio and through the newspa-
pers that some of the populace of Europe are
complaining that we are trying to cram our me-
thods down their throat and trying, through
financial aid, to get a strangle hold on their
nation's economy. Some of the columnists have
laid this complaining to the fact that Europe
was once a sick continent and that she is now
becoming well enough to complain about her
state of affairs. Is this a sign that Europe will
try to stand on her own twvo feet before long

without American aid, or at least, a reduced
program of American aid? We hope so. The
American taxpayer can stand that reduction in
taxes that is going to keep Europe alive finan-
cially.
Most of us, have seen only the grumbling
of Europe. Around us today we hear the great
majority of the people complaining b,,iit tli,'h
prices;,about how little the dollar is \,'lth iind
About how they have to struggle to get along.
They say they yearn for the good old days.
.Ah yes, "the good old days",' when nine
tenths of the home; in the country didn't have
' inside plumbing. "The good old days" when
only a very few had automobiles, of earlier, a
horse and buggy: "The good old days" when
only the well-to-do were able to enjoy the ma-
gic of a play or other performed entertainment.
"The good old days" when people had to go
to the woods and chop wood to keep warm in
the winter or just freeze. "The good old days"
when people had to raise most of their food if
they wanted vegetables to eat or in some cases,
anything at all to eat. "The good old days"
when the man of the family worked six days a
week, ten hours a day for $25.00 a week, if he
was lucky. Sure it went a lot farther, but there
was nothing to spend it for but groceries and
house rent.
Today, practically every family has an au-
tomobile, a radio or two, take two or three trips
a week to the movies, spend the week end off
with relatives or friends or just seeing sights,
we eat better than any nation on earth, three-
fourths of the homes in the United States have

ETAOIN SHRDLU
by WESLEY R. RAMSEY


We were royally called on the
carpet the other day. Mr. Durel
Brigman had inforncd us the first
of last month that we should stop
by his place of business each
month to collect his bill and save
him the price of a three cent stamp
which we agreed to do, since as he
pointed out, we went right by his
front door twice a day to the post
office. Friday we stopped in to
do as our customer had bidded us
do and ran right smack into a
verbal onslaught. "Some newspa-
per man", says Durel, "has to get
up at 4:00 a.m. Monday in the.cold
and answer a fire cal; to the quar-
ters; stand out in front and freeze
for two hours while one of the
stubbornest fires in our history
was going on; oil lamps and oil
stoves exploding right and left
and all of us getting wringing we:
and smoke filled eyes and freezing
nearly to death, and you forget to
put it in the paper". So help me
that was the first time I had
thought of it, excepting of course
the night when it was all happen-
ing.
We'll agree that we are getting
bad. At four ayem in the morning
the whistle gets us out of a warm
bed and 'we stand by that burning


house until it burns half down be-
fore we ever get thawed out (we
say stand by for our official title
with the FD is plug-turner-oner
and spot-light manager among oth-
er things). Anyway, here was this
house burning to beat the band
,Kiiil an occasional oil lamp and
an oil stove 'tank blowing up every
re.. nllinti'- to add spice to the
il:.-nti, and sort of nudge the
flames along every few minutes or
so and with every stitch of; hose
from both trucks off and in play
the firemen did a wonderful job.
There was a house on either
side of the burning one not over
30 feet apart, at. the most and
neeitier of these were allowed to
catch fire for even a few minutes.
Nothing burned but the house
that started the whole ruckus. We
think that speaks exceptionally
well for our fire department; es-
pecially at that hour of the morn-
ing.

Sometime in the very near fu-
ture you will see your STAR come
out on Thursday instead of Fri-
day, which has been the publica-
tion date ever since it was started.
The reason for the change is two-
fold. First, so that the merchants
that use the STAR'S columns for
advertising their merchandise may
have three days of week end ad-
vertising and sale and also be-
cause of the fact that a great per-
centage of the news that happens
either happens on a week end or
the first of the week and a Thurs-
day dateline will therefore make
the news items carried in the
STAR of a more recent, nature.
All we are waiting on is an OK
from the post office department
for the change on our mailing per-
mit and we will change over im-
mediately. We hope to have this
change in effect by the first of
February. Watch the front page
for the definite date of the change-
over.

Wanta housebreak your puppy?
Just a rug in his dog house and
he'll house break himself. Honest
injun-we have it straight from


. OTTO-


the dog's mouth. A dog will not.
soil his own bed and will soon
unconsciously house break himself.

Please, please, don't ask our
young son to come up and see you.
Tuesday morning, policemannBEd
wards came by the 'office to pick
up some parking tickets we had
printed and asked our son to come
.see him and. explained where he
stayed around on Reid Avenue in
the police shed. Well come Tues-
day afternoon our son disappeared
and we couldn't find hide nor hair
of him anywhere. Yep, you guessed
it, we finally found him around at
the police shed is;irz; with.po-
liceman Edwards.

Boy, Tuesday was our day, sales-
men on top of salesmen coming in
and disturbing our progress on
this week's issue of The STAR.
Maybe we'll roll out on time in
spite of them.
One of them came by in a de-
mofistration van with an automa-
tic job press erected inside and
demonstrated it to us. Made our
mouth water. All that was stand-
ing between it and us was a few
paltry dollars. 3700 of them in fact.
Like dangling a bone in front of
a dog.

We wondered why we hadn't re-
ceived Ex-Editor Bill's copy for
his Stardust column this week un-
til we heard the water was up
around Buckhorn. Look out fish!

We had three good pictures to
go in this issue of The STAR but
Delaney Studios in Panama City
didn't get them developed in time
to get them to the engraver. Oh
well, what did we expect, we only
took them to him last Friday and
only gave him to Tuesday to get
them out. Maybe he thinks we own
the joint to expect such service.

If your child is going to have a
birthday party, give us a' call ahead
of time so we can make arrange-
ments to get a picture of it for
the paper. No charge, just give us
a call and we'll do the rest.

You have heard of fellows locking the barn gate after the
horse is out. It's like buying a used car and looking it
over after you have signed up the deal. The best time to look
at a Used Car .. is before you buy it. That is why we insist
that you thoroughly examine USED CARS at our place and

drive them and always be perfectly satisfied with the

The Glorious Few
There are people who carry life's
burdens
Their own and some others
besides
There are people who stand in
their places
And who stand there whatever
betide.
When the kingdom is calling for
workers
Or the city is calling for men
Or some cause is seeking support-
er ,s a
These people will answer just
then.
There are two kinds of people--
you know them
As you journey along life's track
The people who take your strength
from you
And the others who put it back.
