JOE, FLORIDA FRIDAY, JANUARY 30, 1953 $3.00 Per Year NUMBER 2A Sharks Defeat Bristol and Lose To Blountstown Sharks Go To Sopchoppy For Tonigit's.Game The Port St. Joe, Basketball Sharks proved that they are an ex- clknt defensive as well as offen- sive, team in their game with Bris- tol last Friday night at the Cen- tennial Auditorium. The Sharks nosed out the boys from Liberty County with a score of 67-66 after a fast, hard, anything-goes game that kept the spectators on the edges of their seats all the way. The Sharks spent most of the game a -point or two behind the Bristol boys but were fighting hard all the way to gain the lead, using every trick in the book, and some that were not, such as a pass from one end of the court to the other from Frank Dennis to Benny Rob- erts to tie the game up with Bristol. The score at the half time stood in favor of Bristol by five. points. In the second half, Benny Roberts, Frank Dennis, Robert Walters, Billy Gilliard, Billy Fred Parrish, and $oe Addams went to work and bad the score tied by the end oif the .game. This resulted in the game going to an extra three-min- -jte period fn which the Sharks managed to come up.with enough vointtS to taklethe.'galine. Robprris'id itn 'ints made. with J tb. with: Walters as follownup with 13. For Bristol, Sqhuler starred: with 44 points followed by Stoute- meyer racking up 13 points. The. Sharks journeyed to-Blounts- town Tuesday night to meet the, Tigers of Calhoun County and to. reet defeat for the second time this year at the hands of ,the Ben- gals. The Blountstown cagers, guard Roberts heavily to soften hi! ter- rific scoring and to hold the Sharks final score down. The Tigers defeated the Sharks by 44-56 score. Roberts led the lo- cals in the scoring department with 17 points and Dennis second with 10. For the Tigers, Smiley led in the point department with 10 and Bright came in second with 8 tallies.. For their next game, the Sharks will meet Sopchoppy at Sopchoppy tonight. White City Family Is injured In Wreck Sat.

Both Beauchamp and Shirah thought the .steam was gone out of the valve and opened it to make some alterations and repairs. When the. alve was opened, live steam gushed out on both the men and scalded them severely about the face, neck and chest. Both were carried to the Municipal Hos- pital by the Comforter ambulance. where Shirah was treated and re- leased and Beauchamp was confin- ed to bed.

Ordinarily, -there's not much good you can say about hatred. But we in America can thank our lucky stars that Russia hates us. Right after the last war, and on into the "Good old Uncle Joe" period, we were ripe for plucking. We liked the Russians. Of course, now and then, we would get a little annoyed by things they did, but after all, weren't they our allies? Didn't we fight shoulder to shoulder with them for, so we thought, the same principles? To say anything unkind about them then was not only tactless, it was ungrateful. Many bigwigs and littlewigs, now blushing, thought the Russians pretty no- ble-and sent them warm overcoats. Americans were "conditioned"; no nation was ever more mellow. If the Russians had followed up their opportunity their political termites, busily at work on our foundations, might have sold us a "benign" brand 'of Communism. Instead, Russia smothered all this good will and started hating us to our faces. How could Stalin have been so stupid? Was Commu- nism coming loose at the seams? Had too many Russians had a peek at the outside world? Per- haps Anton Chekhov, the Russian author, threw some light on the matter when, a half a century ago, he wrote: "Love, friendship, respect, do not unite a people as a common hatred for something." Stalin needed a hate, and it had to be a big one! A PAT ON THE BACK We received a verbal pat or two on the -back last week for our editorial and we won't pretend it didn't feel good, especially since it was our first one. We want to say here and now that we did not write the editorial to be a smart-alec or a crusader. We are not cut out to be either. It was written strictly in the light of ourself being a citizen of this county and what we felt in the matter. We don't intend making a practice of throw- ing our weight around. The PRESS weilds a power that cannot be denied. If it is misused it can have disastrous effects. In fact, the press can do more harm than good and has in many instances due the leadership of crusading or smart-alee editors. We are merely going to up- hold what we think is right and good for the county and our city. If it goes against Joe Blow, that is just too bad. This newspaper is going to hop right astraddle of the neck of anyone who tries to misuse the rights and the wishes of the taxpayer, and therefore boss, of this county and city. It makes no difference how big or how small that person may be, if he goes detrimental to the betterment of the locality in which we live .he will hear about it through the media of this paper. Let us urge each of you, right now, while you are thinking about it, to go down to either of the drug stores in town and sign the petitions there for the purpose of asking the County Commissioners to repeal their recent resolution concerning the sale of alcoholic beverages. We hear a lot about "social security" but not so much about "spiritual security". Yet, who would trade social security for spiritual secur- ity? The principle behind both is the same: you have to put in before you can take out. Thomas Carlyle said: "A man lives by be- lieving something; not by debating and arguing about many things." A better name for our free enterprise sys- tem would be the individual courage system. "Times that try men's souls" usually produce souls that shape men's times. and roams the house all night. Have you noticed that hotrod Ford Glenn Boyles is driving around, gutted muffler and all. If you folks are interested in do- ing anything about it, each of the drug stores in town has a petition on their counter for you to sign protesting the action by the Coun- ty Commissioners on their recent resolution allowing the sale of li- quor on iSunday in the county out- side of 'any city limits. There are quite a few names on them too. Somebody must be agin it. One of our favorite pieces of free literature that comes through the mails is a pamphlet put out by Stetson University by the name of "Whatsoever Things". There are some real thought provoking para- graphs in this little pamphlet. If you get a chance at one, set down and read it from cover to cover. It'll be well worth your while. If you plan to go to the Florida State Fair next month, how about coming by. the STAR office and pick up these two free admission tickets sent to us for use by our THE LOW DOWN ---- from ------ WILLIS SWAMP To get me perturbed and agitat- ed is not too easy. Worry is bad medicine-it is likely to do noth- ing for you beyond maybe putting' another furrow in your brow. And with the scant margin of comeli- ness most of the spavins in my age group possess, it is not horse sense to take the risk of-even one more handicap-the status quo is disturbing enough., But on one subject I backslide- I am fireworks and audible when some gent arises and says, "citi- zens of this community, what we should do is take over the water works, the lights, the gas-let the people have the profit."

In the extra period we saw samples of wrestling, boxing, foot- ball tennis, volley ball and base- ball used by both teams in an ef- fort to gain that one bxt.:a point. The story had a happy ending with St. Joe coming on the tall end of a 67-66 score. We acquired a cat last, week. A big pure blood tom cat. Some- where along the line its ancestors came in contact with a maltese on one side of its parenthood and as a result; our cat is grey. So far we know he can eat a prodigious amount of dog food, cat food, ta- ble scraps, fruit, bread or anything edible that. happens to come Ms way. It is a friendly cuss though. There's only one thing that he doesn't like, and that's having his tail pulled. Other than these attri- butes, he's just like any other cat.

Your multi-colored phillodendron is one of these. Fortunately, artificial light will satisfy a large part of the plants' needs during the winter months. We follow the practice of putting our plants under a table lamp during the evening hours. Such plants as ferns, ivy and wandering jew, and such bloom- begonias do much better in a north light where the sun rarely touches them directly. Flowering maple, spider plant, fuchsia and primrose do very well in the west sun of a late afternoon. Your annual tuber- ous or bulb plants are those that require most encouragement from the sun, and they put out their best under a southern exposure. Speaking of African violets, probably the favorite of all indoor plants, don't believe the "old wive's tale" that water should nev- er touch the leaves. If any plant needs clean leaves, it's the African Violet. They should be washed with a fine spray of warm water, dried gently with a soft cloth and placed ing plants as African violets and in the SHADE. The leaves should be brushed gently and regularly be brushed gently and regularly with either a soft brush or another leaf. Blooms should be picked as soon as they begin to fade to keep the plant from expending useless energy on seeding. These are only the highlights of indoor plant care, and may we em- phasize the most important points again; keep them in a window where they can gain the advantage of what coolness comes through it and keep the air around them moist. Don't keep your house too warm or dry, it isn't good for you either. Careless brush burners caused 12 per cent of the wildfires in Florida last year.

For example, it would take an actual Doctor of Philosophy degree to get Rank 1 rating.

The Council recommendations would raise the state, allocation for a teacher with a Bachelor's degree from -$9550 'a year to $2,800, a Master's degree from $3,00 to $3,200 and a Doctor's degree from $3,600 to'$3,700. Council's research staff esti- mated it would take $30 million of extra state money during the next two years to give teachers the raises recommended and to take care of normal growth of the school system and increased quali- fications of teachers. Gov. Dan T. McCarty and most lawmakers are coibmitted to giv- ing teachers a pay raise of $300 this year. ,A bill asking for an increase of that amount for every teacher was approved in the clos- ing days of the 1951 legislative ses- sion but failed enactment because the House and Senate could not agree on a way to finance it.
