JANUARY 16, 1953 $3.00 Per Year NUMBOEE'lSS II II Five Road Paving Jobs Assured For Gulf County New Road Assured Between Port St. Joe and Apalach To Save Distance of 11.7 Miles; State Aid Asked The Gulf County Board of Commissioners, in a special meet- ing Monday, passed on five moves for better roads in Gulf County The action came in the second gathering of the newly, installed Commission body, with all five projects expected to be in the operating stages within a year. Fire Department Has 3 Calls On Week End / The Port St. Joe Fire Depart- ment had a busy week end. last week answering a total of three calls on Saturday and Sunday with two of these being on Sunday. 'Saturday afternoon the depart- ment was called to the colored quarters to extinguish a blaze that resulted from an overheated chim- ney with the damage not too ser- ious. Sunday morning about 11:00 a.m. 'the department was called to High- land View to extinguisih another :blaze resulting from an overheat- :ed chimney with the damage being confined to the chimney area. Sunday night the department was called again to Highland View to. a]iwer:.a- bla2.-,fthin was already- covering half of the house involved.- -quick and positive action by the department localized the blaze to its original confines and had to be allowed to burn itself out in one section of the house due to the lack of water in the Highland View area. The only water avail- able was the fire truck tank full, a 'forest fire truck tank full and a shall stream from two garden hoses. When queried as to the probable cause of so many fires in such a short time, Durel Brigman, local fire chief replied, "The only cause I can think of is because I bought a new pair of shoes Saturday that I didn't want messed up". Seal Sale Ends With $1511.03 Collected The 1952 Christmas Seal Sale campaign ended up with a total collection of $1511.03 in compari- son to $1136.00 collected for last STop among. the list of road im- provements was the proposed re- surfacing of state highway 71 to run from the county line to Port St. Joe. The county is asking the state to do the paving job. Among shorter stretches of pav- ing will be the surfacing of the road connecting Jehu Cemetery in Wewahitchka with the paved high- way. Another project is the paving of First Street in Highland Vie.v. Also it was decided to pave four cross streets in Beacon Hill con- necting the county road running parrelel with the highway to the highway. The biggest job of road build ing was brought up and approved for the county to take steps to pave a short cut from Port St. Joe to Apalachicola cutting the dis. tance between the cities practically. in half. The ir'..po:ed highway wwill'un 'frtay- hle 'Port St Se cit '"iTh 'in a direct line- across the.swaimp to the 'oyster city. and will follow the same approximate line of tra- vel that tracks of the -palachicola Northern Railroad travel. This proposed road will cut 11.7 hkiles off the distance between the cities and will be built practically in a straight line in keeping with the modern trend toward straight wide highways., The main purpose of this. road is to tie in with the highway now un- der construction between St. Marks and Perry and with the improved shorter route from Panama City to Pensacola, offering a faster, bet- ter and shorter route for northern tourists to the southern part of the state, particularly Tampa. This will mean a greater tourist trade through this part of the state. GEORGE TAPPER fS ON APPROPRIATIONS BODY Four northwest Floridians, one of which is George G.

IT'S A CRYING SHAME No doubt, you have seen column upon col- umn written about the deplorable state of the teacher's salaries in this and other parts of the state and nation. Well, here you are going to see part of another column written about it. You, like we have done many times, prob- ably glanced over the editorialist's efforts and shook your head, sighed and probably said, "Yes it is a shame that they aren't paid anymore than what they are". We honestly didn't know that they were paid so little in comparison with the magnitude of their task and responsibility in connection with the shaping of our children's fu- ture, until we set the list of County School Board Warrants for this week's issue of THE STAR. It is a sad state of affairs, when a person gives up at least four long years-of their life to train for this service not counting the cost of spending those years in training 'and most of them are "rewarded" to the tune of about $30.00 a Week. How many of us would work for that after undergoing all that training and expense? We bet that there are colored men with less than three years education working in the wood yards at,the paper nilll that make asi'~uch or more as some of the teachers do with a higher standard of pay, as far as teacher's pay goes. We now realize, that when we were.going to school under some of these same teachers and working afternoons and week ends here at THE STAR, we were making more than the teachers that were preparing us for this job. Just a little snot-nose kid making more than his trainer. We now have a solution to the problem the County Commissioners are having in distribut- ing its gift of race track funds from the state. Instead of trying to re-divide the funds between the cities of Port St. Joe and Wewahitchka, why don't they give the teachers a raise and apply these funds to the proper fund to permit this raise in pay? Legally, the money is supposed to remain in the use of the COUNTY anyway, and not the cities. We think that both cities could do without this money better, than the school teach- ers. Maybe they could deviate some parts of other funds for this use also. Just read that list of warrants, found on page 14 of this issue. You know the teachers and how much they know. Now just take a gander at the pittance they get in return for it. It's a crying shame! A STITCH IN TIME We know this is strictly against the rules of governmental procedure, but we noticed the other day that Reid Avenue paving is showing signs of wear and tear. It's busting out at the seams and everywhere else too. In short, it's cracking up. Don't you agree with us that NOW is the time for City Council to start looking into gett- ing it fixed before it gets so bad that it ruins the underside of a few automobiles and maybe cau- ses someone to fall and hurt themselves? We know, there's no holes, yet, but just glance down the next time you cross Reid Ave- nue and look at the- cracks all over its surface. Let's not sit back and let it get in the shape it was back in 1942 when it was practically worth a broken neck to walk across. TRUMAN BLASTS KREMLIN Many times this newspaper has gone to bat against Mr. Truman. Maybe he deserved it and maybe not, nevertheless it went against him. In this one instance it is going for him because this particular instance warrants it, as you will see from the following editorial taken from the Brantford, Ont.,'.Canada, Expositor: "For three years after the death of President Franklin D. Roosevelt, Harry S. Truman, his successor, seemed uncertain of his duties. His de- cisions were not clear-cut and his policies, either in the domestic or the foreign field, were indefin- ite. He seemed to be groping his way, learning as he went, in the most important single job in the world. The overwhelming vote of confidence in his administration, recorded by the people of the United States in November, 1948, changed Truman overnight. No longer was he the bumb- ling, apparently harassed and bewildered ad- ministrator. His newly-acquired display of self- confidence became almost overwhelming and has, at times,'proved embarrassing even to his colleagues. The way in which he campaigned for Governor Adlai Stevenson was an example of this. Within recent weeks, Mr. Truman has lashed out at President-elect Eisenhower, calling his trip to Korea "political demagoguery." He has also criticized General Douglas MacArthur for suggesting that he knew of a way in which the Korean War could be settled and offering his plan to the forthcoming administration. On this score, Mr. Truman was justified, to a certain ex- tent, when he said that it was General MacAr- thur's duty as a soldier to bring his plan at once before the present administration. President Truman has also spoken out strongly within recent weeks against the policies of the Kremlin. In an address to the National War College in Washi ton, he accused Russia of using the United States as a target for "the most shameless, cynical and terrible campaign of vilification ever conducted against an entire people anywhere." '' He said that the Soviet leaders had noW ap- parently realized that they could gain nothing. from war but catastrophe and have turned to a policy of trying to drive a wedge between the United States and its allies. He urged the people of the United States to meet the present phase of the Communist challenge, as they have met others in the past. "We must make a real effort to overcome the things that tend to divide us from"our allies. If. this is.done, if we are able to preserve unity and/confidence among the free nations, we need not be panicky today about the state of the world. We are not on the losing side. The world is not about to collapse around us." Perhaps his remarks about the attempts of the Communists to divide the free world will serve to improve relations among the nations of the west. The Communists are proficient at di- viding countries and groups of countries. Since the free west is well aware of this Red policy, it should not succumb to it. Squabbles between Great Britian and the United States, for example, should be kept to a minimum. Closer liaison among the nations represented in the Korean War if a realistic war policy is to be followed there. Then, too, the nations of Western Europe should remain united in their efforts to prepare defenses against the threat of aggression from the east. While President Truman's foreign policy may be open to criticism, he is to be commended on his appeal for unity. The hope is that his words will not fall on deaf ears." "If you want to see pure Socialism mixed with give-away programs, take a look at social- ized medicine and socialized electrical power. These things do not make for free men." HERBERT IOOVER "Here in the United States .. our bullets are ballots and the only heads that roll are those which figuratively topple as the people demand a change peacefully-and get it. It's a good system. Here's hoping we can continue to keep it. Revolutions like these are good ones. They keep a country strong, healthy and sound." -Mount Airy, Md., Community Reporter / 0Copyrighted Material * AN Syndicated Content ' Available from Commercial News Providers" AZ4 ETAOIN SHRDLU by WESLEY R.

Several' people have asked us if we intend to keep the three months subscription rate at $127.50. We think we will keep it there because we might find someone who wants it for just three months bad enough to pay the price. We wouldn't mind selling about a dozen of them. On top of this past hectic week we see by the funny papers where Little Orphan Annie made up the pages and ads in the "Futility" pa- per while old Tom was on a New Year's bender and she has only been working in the joint for two weeks before. And here we have wasted over ten years in the busi- nes and just barely manage to gei the rag made up and make it look like something, even now. Must be that we're just dumb.

Says he was born a Democrat, raised a Democrat and voted Democrat every time he ever voted except one time and he has been sorry of it ever since. He says we should know which time that was. Next time he comes out to re- pair something around your house you ought to get him started. Some very interesting listening. This modern age! We were by Mr. Eells Firestone Store after an ad the other day and Byron Eells was in there mixing paint. In a paint mixing apparatus, no less.

Fire- stone, Jr., warned the nation that unless concerted action is taken now in an all-out effort to modern- ize the nation's highway system, the traffic problem will be so acute we will suffer tremendous losses through a complete breakdown of our transportation-system. Already the system is approaching' bank- ruptcy.

Comparatively little was done, he points out, to expand our high- ways to meet the steady growth of traffic, and the situation is growing worse instead of better.

Motor travel in Flor- ida will increase and both industry and agriculture, if it is to grow and expand, must have facilities tor fast, safe motor transportation. Our greatest need today is for a iong range program designed to give this state a permanent arter- al' system, engineered to stand, up with the least possible mainten- ance. This cannot be accomplished v, thin the term of this or any sin- gle administration. According to es- timates of experienced engineers and road building authorities, it will take-from ten to fifteen years even if we start today with a planned program. Its accomplishment will be speeded if -politics is kept o'ut of the program, and capable compe- tent engineers are retained on the job regardless of who is road chair- man or governor. Some states that have been most successful with their road building programs have found that continuity of program can best be achieved by appointing road board members on staggered terms so that no single governor controls the board, and holdover members are prepared to carry out the long range program. Under such an arrangement, at the out- set, one member would be appoin.- ed for two years, another for three, another for four, another for five another for six. As these initial terms expire, all subsequent ap- pointments are for six years. Under such a plan there is les concentration of power in the in- dividuals, greater freedom from political domination of a governor and greater continuity of the over- all long range program. It is a mis- take to change road department personnel with every change in po- litical fortune. Able engineers and technicians should be free from any political influence and concerned only- with giving the taxpayer the s ft- roads possible at reasonable cost. *.- This article is not written as a reflection on any administration or any board. Florida has been most fortunate in the calibre of men who have served in the past, and the in- coming board appears to be an ex- cellent one. The problem today is a serious one and demands the most careful study and consideration. The 1953 legislature can take action to pro- vide for Florida's road building fu- ture by setting up safeguards that will insure continuity of program and purpose, not only for the pres- ent administration but for those to follow.

Spring spreads slowly over the North American continent. In Florida planting time is three months earlier than in Minnesota. This makes it impossible for gar- odeners throughout the country to celebrate a national garden week, which would fit the season in all states. To obtain action in unison among all who are interested in practicing and promoting home ,gardening, the American Coun- cil of Horticulture has devised a .moving spring festival, known as Planting Time, which follows the sun as it'travels north from Jan- uary until March. Based on records of the U.S. department of agriculture the country is divided into four zones. In each the average date of the, last killing frost is approximately the same. One month before this date is selected as Planting Time in that zone. Seeds of hardy va- rieties may be sown; hardy plants x* 'maybe transplanted; tender va- rieties maybe started-under pro- tection, and merchants of garden goods should make these avail- able to their customers., ,Since it is considered imprac, tical-to divide a state into several zones, each state has been cbn- siderbd as a unit, and assigned a Sdate for the beginning-of "Plant- AUXILIARY MEETING TIME AND PLACES LISTED The Intermediate R.

JOE, GULF COUNTY, FLORIDA PAGE S2VE3~ Comptroller Gsy Holds Up Payment, Of Warren Road Board Attorney Fees SComptroller C. M. Gay hesitated T.e:sday at immediate payment of $32,000 in special attorney fees laid on his desk by the' outgoing Warren Road Board. . They -included a 'fee of $15,000 to Tampa attorney Pat Whitaker for defending, a convict camp cap- tain who .was accused of civil rights violation and fees of $17,000 to three other 'lawyers for repre- senting Gov. Warren and Road Board members .in the Kilgore kickback conspiracy case. Gay said he is in doubt about his legal authority to issue checks for the payments, and "I don't believe we'll get any. definite an- swer tonight (Tuesday). , "I'm just going, to take them under advisement. If everything's in line we'll pay them. If there's any reason why we shouldn't we'll hold them up." A new Road Board took office at noon Wednesday, and it might be left to it to decide whether to press for payment of the bills. The Warren Road Board sub- mitted bills of $9,000 from former Gov. Doyle E. Carlton, Tampa, and $3.000 from Charles A: Savage, Ocal,' for defending the board members against S, L. Kilgore's civil'suit f6r $300,000 on a conten- tion that he lost his job for resist- ing a conspiracy to extract kick- backs on road material purchases. The Road Department also sub- mitted a bill for $5,000 from Wel- don G. Starry, Tallahassee, close friend and advisor of the gover- nor, who represented Warren in the case. The litigation -lasted only a few days more than a month. Gay said he was questioning whether any portion of the bills were for services still to be ren- dered and whether he had author- ity to make advance payments. Some of the bills in the Kilgore case were dated a week before the litigation ended. Whitaker represented prison n camp Capt. L. P. Jones in a hear- ing before U.S. District Judge Wil- liam..J. Barker, who held the civil rights charges against ..him .were an invasion of state rights. The case will be appealed; The State Cabinet recently au- thorized the Road Board to. em- ploy William C. Pierce .to represent four other convict camp .officials against similar charges, and later broadened the authority to cover hiring Pierce to represent Jones in the appellate courts. Ho al- ready has been paid $4,125. Savage, who submitted the $3,000 fee bill for special services in the Kilgore case, is on the Road De- partment payroll as an attorney at $300 month.

Florida Population Increased 259 Tons If the stork's wings are bent like those of a tired seagull it may be because Florida's residents are producing babies at the record rate of more than 500,000 pounds per year. The Florida State Board of Health ran across this interesting bit of information while statisti- cians in the Bureau of Vital Sta- tistics were really looking for something else. They were seeking to determine the average weight of all babies born during 1951, and how many were unde-weight, average or over- weight, figures of importance to the medical profession and public health workers, says State Health Officer Wilson T. Sowder. Here is what they found: Tr- average weight' of all ba- bies was nearly 7 pounds, 6 ounc- es. There was no significant racial differences; white babies average 7 pounds 5.8, non-white babies 7 pounds,- 5.2 ounces. Of more than 70,000 babies born in 1951, eight per cent, or 5,869, were considered underweight, tip- ping the scales at less than 5 pounds, S ounces. A total of 57.505 or 82 per cent, were considered in the normal weight range of from 5 pounds, S ounces to 8 pounds, 13 ounces. Ten percent, or 6,737 were considered overweight as they registered 8 pounds, 14 ounces or more. In the overweight group were 210 who could quality for the 'heavyweight' class, weighing in at 11 pounds, one ounce or more. By contrast, in the 'lightweight' class, were 90h ba- bies scaling less than 3 pounds, four ounces. Which was the heaviest and the lightest? The bureau declines to say. "In order to arrive at that in- formation," says Bureau Director Everett Williams, ."we would have to check through more than 70,000 birth certificates. We do not be- lieve the relative significance of the information would justify the cost." There were three sets of trip- lets, all colored, born during the year, while 697'sets of twins saw the light of day, or about one 'et of twins for every 100 births. The total weight for all babies born during 1951 was approximate- ly 517,800 pounds, which figures out to about 259 tons of brand- new Florida citizens. HEMINGWAY'S WOMEN!...

Even the mem- bers who serve on the appropria- tions committees are at best only part time budget experts because they must devote much time to the hundreds of constituent interests which demand attention. In addi- tion. congressional staffs are to- tally inadequate for the job of as- sembling adequate information on budgets. The Congress is jumpy from press and radio criticism of the costs of the legislative branch of government and putters along with a one cylinder machine. Big- ger staffs with proper training could help save billions. "Steps must be taken toward this end. The nation is running in the red, year after year.

Taxes are at an all time high. They cannot be in- creased and steps must soon be ta- ken toward at least some reduc- tions. "A pyramiding national debt de- mands action before it is too late. But when we talk of the need for action we fte this startling fact. About 85%o of the annual budget is for. the costs of war. Defense budgets have for years been sacred rows. No one has wanted to accept t-he responsibility of putting his judgment on defense needs ahead of the opinion of that of military experts. I'm afraid some of them took advantage p th_ sitgatiol. In any event, they asked for anii secured appropriations for costly installations, some of which could have been postponed had the mili- tary been content to use existing bases which were considered 'ade- quate for the emergency demands of World War II. The result has been military budgets higher even than in World War II when four times as many men were in uni- form. The. military must take its share of the cuts, too. Enterprising- staff officers can make reductions without injuring national .defense and that is. particularly true in new: construction. In any event Congress must regain defense cost control. "Another major problem facing: the 83rd Congress is restoration of a proper balance in income between farm families and non farm famil- ies. Prices to the farmer have been dropping steadily in recent months. yet prices to the housewife have gone down but little and in many instances are higher. Meat in fact 'is lower to the producer but higher to the consumer. The fellow in be- tween: is taking a bigger slice. It. may help to drop controls and I think Congress is prepared to do that. It appears, however, that more realistic guarantees must be writ- ten into law to keep the farmers' share of the national income at a fair level, without penalizing the consumer. "It is time to stop foreign aid other than military assistance. Counting all funds, we have given to foreign countries since 1940 eighty-seven billions, little of which will ever find its way back. I hope the new Congress will put stronger emphasis on decentraliza- .tion of government, stimulation of world trade, local development of. natural resources, and a reasser- tion of constitutional authority in international treaties. "There is strong likelihood that the Southern Democrat-Republican. coalition will cease to function as effectively as under the previous administration. The republicans be- ing the majority party may feel less need for the votes of their southern colleagues,, and antici- pated absence of administration pressure for free spending and so- cialistic legislation will remove the chief reasons for the coalition. "Absence of an announced pro- gram by the republican party may foreshadow considerable inactivity in Congress. However, the desire of members of the FloIida delega- tion for sound, middle of the road legislation points to an honest ef- fort on the part of the Florida mem- bers to be cooperative with Gen- eral Eisenhower's administration and to make the session as pro- ductive as possible. "The Constitution gives to mem- bers of Congress no voice in such matters as Korean War policies, but I as one congressman will wel- come more positive efforts on the part of the administration to bring that fruitless struggle to a close," Sikes concluded.

"The entire purpose of our As- sociation since its formation im !193q," states H. J. Malsbergeri. General Manager, "is to help grow- trees on the other fellow's lands.'" 'More than one hundred conser- vation foresters currently employ- ed by the industry to provide for- estry services to landowners wilE discuss their problems on the at-: ternoon of January 20. Three pan- els are arranged, one of which is- to outline.a new method of sampl- ing pulpwood cuttings to check compliance with voluntarily ac- cepted cutting standards and thsi other two will cover the fields of publicizing the Association's con- servation work and how manage- ment services are provided by the various members. The discussion on the latter two panels will be lead by eight conservation foresters,. .which provides for representation of two from each of the Asseoia- tion's four working areas. A dinner- meeting of delegates representing, each member mill will conclude the activities for January 20. 'The annual meeting on January. 21 will likewise be divided into four panel discussions with eleven panel members participating. These panels following the reports of the President and the General Mana- ger, will cover activities in the fields of information and educa- tion, management services to land- owners, and how the industry lets the .landowner and public know- what it is doing in encouraging the wise use of the tree crop. Tlia concluding panel will outline how the Association dtermines the progress and effectiveness of the entire conservation program es- gaged in by the pulp and paper in- dustry. President Earl Porter and[ Vice-President A. G. Curtis will be the moderators for these panels- Nine of the speakers leading these discussions are industrial foresters employed by the merm- ber mills of the Southern Pulp- wood Conservation Association, and one forester employed by a pulpwood dealer. The remaining speaker is Stanford Smith, Secre- tary-Manager of the Georgia Press Association and instructor in jour- nalism at the Atlanta Division of the University of Georgia. Mr. Smith's contribution to the pro- gram will be a presentation of practical methods of telling the industry story through the news- papers. Mr. Smith's varied exper- ience in this field, including re- porting for both daily and weeklY papers, will be of particular assis- tance to the industry personnel responsible for this work. At the conclusion of the paneT discussions Wednesday afternoon,, the members will meet in a busi- ness session. Following that, the newly elected Board of Directors will meet to elect officers for 1957.

FLORIDA, 'PAGE TWELVE FRIDAY, JANUARY 16, 1953 LaIt wrLej nwail tneir nwia eiw - 1" In the shadow of Africa's Mt. Kilamanjaro, Harry Street (GREGORY PECK), big game hunter and novelist, awaits death from a hunting wound. Convinced that help will nev- er come, Harry reviews his life and the women in it. (1) He thinks of Helen (SUSAN HAYWARD), the wealthy widow who married him because she was lonely and who made it possible for-him to return to Africa. Now, as she stands vigil near him, he torments her with his past. (2) There was Cynthia (AVA GARDNER), his Paris love who spurred him on to his first successful novel. Deeply in love with Harry, she followed him -to Africa for big game. (Coming to the Port Theatre, January 2S, 29 and 30). (Continued From Page 4) .ETAOIN SHRDLU he said he sold 15 quarters of beef in two days. A lot of cows. 'Maybe we're harping on the sub- ject of the fire department too much, but we cannot help marvel- iag at their speed and efficiency especially for a volunteer outfi-t. T'he other Sunday a call came from Highland View that a house was, afire and the fire department was there within five minutes. The back half was ablaze all over, inside and out. Now there is no water system at Highland View that the truck can draw from, so it was necessary to work fast but to conserve as much water as possible. Well the outcome was that with less than 700 gallons of water (the truck car- ries 300) the fire was put entirely out and wasn't a11owed to spea-d from its original confines. Think it's easy. try it. We would urge you to come and watch the fire depart- ment on the next job but you would be in the way. This is the largest issse of your newspaper ever published without a special occasion to help it along. We hope to keep it to and even above this mark. With .your help, we can. Thank you every oie.
