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..

asked by teacher- groups.
The recommendation was made
public today by the Council, alo9g
with a number of others vitally a-

a week end session at a wool-

reports of subcommittees of this

They proposed that the State-

The council backed off from a
recommendation that homesteads-
be made subject to taxation for

The Council recommended state-

Members of the Council said they
felt the school system does not

"IT'S AN ILL WIND" .INDEED!
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

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-

sense to take the risk of-even one
more handicap-the status quo is
disturbing enough.,
But on one subject I backslide-

ETAOIN SHRDLU
by WESLEY R. RAMSEY


Things are kinda dull around the
house this week. Last week end
our wife's mother came up to visit
and the wife and children went
back with them to spend a week
visiting. Our eldest son and yours
truly are batching it this week.
We've just about got to where we
like burnt toast and hard eggs.


Boy, did they have a basketball
game out at the Centennial Audi-
torium last Friday night. Neck and
neck the score stood up to the end
of the game when the score was
tied. 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.

T. W. Smith Installs New
Officers For Kiwanians

When he took the oath of office
as President of the United States
at noon Tuesday, General Dwight
D. Eisenhower also became Hon-
orary President of the Boy Scouts
of America.
In a letter to John M. Schiff of
Oyster Bay, N. Y., President of the
National Council, Boy Scouts of
America, General Eisenhower said:
"Thank you for your gracious let-
ter inviting me to become Honor-
ary President of the Boy Scouts of
America following my inauguration
,as President of the United States.
"Having previously served on.
the Committee on International Re-
lationships, the National Court of,
Honor, and the National Executive
rard of the Boy Scouto. of'Amori-
can, I accept in all humility the
lheior which you proffer me. -t full
confidence that I can support the
aims and principles of the Boy
Scouts without reservation."
Like all his predecessors, in the
White House since 1910, President
Eisenhower will serve as Honor-
ary President of the Boy Scouts
of America during his term of of-
fice. He is the.second President to

By Col. W. S. Smith, Retired.
Mayor of Buckhorn


Reason for no column lately is
due to the fact that we've been too
busy fishing. With the Dead Lakes
up, we've just been sitting on our
wharf in an easy chair reading a
book and having two poles out-
one baited with a worm and the
other with a minnow. Catching so
many in this unorthdox manner
that we haven't even been out in a
boat. And, too, for several
days we had to hi ourself back and
forth to Panama City. where our
frau was in Bay Memorial Hospital
having pictures made of her liver
and lights, or some other of her
vital innards. She's apparently okeh
now', for she's beginning to get-a
bit cantakerous.

Saw about a dozen robins skitter-
ing about our yard last week, ap-
parbntly a harbinger of spring. Bet
they'll be surprised when they ar-
rive up north and discover sleet
and snow. Just like a lot of

Have been setting out a variety
of trees on our south forty (that is,
the south forty feet of our acre) and
when we mentioned to Gadi White
that we had put out three pecan
trees, he retorted that "Boy, pecan
trees are for young folks, not old
geezers like us." To which we re-
plied "We don't know about you,
Gadi, seeing' as how you're totter-
ing on the edge of the grave, but
we figure on staying alive for an-
other fifty years, despite the fact
that we already have one foot in
the grave." Gadi also accused
us of setting a bad example for all
True Blue 'Gators by setting out
trees, digging.and planting a garden
and such manual labor. "All that
sort of stuff is supposed to be done
by Sisters of the Skillet," he: re-
marked with some heat.

Dave Gaskin alo. stopped us on
the street and sonorously informed
us that we had set a bad example
by retiring, since shortly after we
had sold The Star and retired to a
life of leisure, C. F. Hanlon, pub-
lisher of the Gulf County Breeze,
went and done likewise. And
that will probably bring on compli-
cations, since we had already

Several items of business came

Board of County Commissioners
Gulf County

Gentlemen:
I wish to protest your recent ac-
tion in legalizing the sale of in-

I feel that this is definitely
against the best interests of the
citizens of Gulf County, and also
against the wishes of the majority.
Sincerely yours,
Alma Baggett

Teacher Pay Boost
(Continued from page 1)
lege degrees earned, rather than.
on equivalent years of work. For
example, it would take an actual
Doctor of Philosophy degree to get
Rank 1 rating.
Such specialists as vocational
education teachers, bandmasters,
physical education instructors and
coaches would not have to meet
the requirement.
Teachers with Master's and
Doctor's degrees still would get the
highest salaries under the Mini-
mum Foundation Program, and
counties could. raise them even
higher if they wanted to do it with.
local funds.
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.
Since then, teachers have begun
talking about even heavier in-
creases-some say $450 a year,
some $560--on the contention that
the .cost of living has continued
to increase since 195i and now
calls for more. money..
. It .would require constitutional
amendments to carry out tb~ Coun-
cil's recommendations for tiie abol-
ishment of scbdol trustees and. to
make the superintendents employee
appointed by county school boards'.
:. The Councii vote on recommen'-
dation of b6th fiieasures- Was di-
vided.
SOther recommendations of the
group would:
Provide that no county could
pay a teacher less than 90 per cent
of the state salary allotmentt for a
teacher of his rank.
Established stricter penalties for
failure of a county to comply with
the law which requires it to em-
ploy teachers for 95 per cent of the
instructional units for which it re-
ceives state money.
The legislators issued this state-
ment on the homestead exemption
question:
"The Council has considered the
matter as to whether it should be
recommended to the State Legis-

constitutional amendment allowing
homesteads to be taxed for sup-
port of public schools only.
"The Council feels that such an
amendment would not be adopted
and so will not recommend same.
The subject was considered be-
cause in certain counties the funds
contributed by the state were not
sufficient when coupled with the
county funds to provide the desired
minimum of educational facilities."

Surles pointed out that the pro-
