George Gaskin, Jr., Dies
Of Heart Attack Monday

George Gaskin, Jr. .40, We-wa-
hitchka business man and sports-
man, died in a hospital in Panama
City Monday. He suffered a heart
attack several years ago.
Gaskin, a member of the Gulf
County School Board, operated an
apiary. He was formerly connected
with the state road department.
Gaskin was keenly interested in
high school athletics and promot-
ing fishing in the Dead Lakes.
Survivors include his widow, a
daughter, a sister, and five bro-
thers.


ed unanimously to kill the reso-
lution.
The present board probably
aroused more protest than any
other board in the county's his-
tory in their action to legalize
the sale of intoxicants in the
county on Sunday.
The action met with stiff op-
position by The Star, and many
civic and religious groups thrn-
out the county.
The commission, after a discus-
sion on the matter came to the
conclusion that, due to so much
opposition in the matter that they
would. bow to the will of the ma-
i -, g-4ad : e.t,,e,,i ,th ? acL .ot.--
Basil E. Kenney entered' -a me-
to the commission that the reso-
lution be cancelled and was im-
mediately seconded by George W,
Cooper. When the matter was put
before the commission for a vote,
all voted in favor of cancelling the
resolution.
The resolution had' stirred the
people to act in all parts of the
county and saw the birth of many
petitions to the commissioners to
amend their .action.
It was pointed out by the com-
missioners that the state law in ef-
fect in reference to closing hours
will be in effect in the county.

Kiwanians Entertain at Ladies Night


The Kiwanis Club entertained
the wives of members of the club
and their guests with a most de-
lightful dinner and entertainment
Monday evening as "Ladies Nite"
in the basement of the First Metho-
dist Church. The tables were ar-
tistically arranged with a profusion
of camellias. Each lady was pre-
sented with a corsage of the club's
colors.
C. W. Long, toastmaster, asked
each lady to remove one shoe and
put it in a hamper. The hamper
was passed to the men who drew
out one shoe. The owner of the
shoe was his partner for the eve-
ning. He kept the diners in laugh-
ter with his hilarious jokes and
stories.
A dinner of shrimp cocktail,
creamed potatoes, cold ham cuts,
green string beans, hot rolls, cof-


fee and cake squares with a blue
"K" on top was served, by the
Wesleyan Guild of the First Me-
thodist Church.
Robert King, president of the
club called for recognition of the
new officers. Ben Dickens was pre-
sented a gift by Harry McKnight
for his services in the club.
Dr. R. E. King, told of the new
project of the year and how it
would benefit our town. The pro-
ject is called "Kiwanis Tourist of
the Month". Each month at the
time of the club luncheon, the
highway patrolman stops a tour-
ist and literally gives them the
"Key" to the city. They are the
guests of the Kiwanis Club, for an
overnight visit with dinner at the
Motel, their car is cleaned and
filled with gas, the lady is guest
at the beauty parlor and the gen-


tleman is given the "works" at
the barber shop. In addition, they
are presented with gifts from the
local merchants. Last week's coa-
ple were from Oak Park, Ill., Mr-
and Mrs. George Rakitan, Appliance
Dealer. It was their first trip to

ed with the hospitality of' Port St.
Joe. Two pictures were presented

ture Company and a reel and rod
was given to Mr. Rakitan by the
St. Joe Supply Company. Last on

Adams, Mr. and Mrs. Jimmy Quinn,
Mrs. Catherine Buzzett and Mr.
Bissett, formerly of Birmingham,

SOMETHING'S MISSING
Port St. Joe is a mighty pretty 'lil town
with practically everything any town this size
and some towns that are larger than ours has.
We have a nice city hall, a nice Centennial Au-
ditorium, a modern up-to-date lighted ball dia-
mond, a tennis court under construction, a bath-
ing and fishing pier out into the bay, plenty of
paved streets, street markers and lights, a mo-
dern fire department, beautiful buildings and
a multitude of wide, clean streets. There is an


ETAOIN SHRDLU
by WESLEY R. RAMSEY

Our new president, Mr. Eisen-
hower, made.quite a speech Mon-
.day, didn't he? We heartily agree
with his policy of throwing those
countries to their own devices
that will not help themselves. We
B;nd of figured that income tax re-
duction was some time off though.
It just didn't seem possible to cut
it back all of a sudden like all
-the--politiciana said :hey would
duringg the cahipaign. It, takes mon-
ey to do everything and it it isn't
,coming in, you just ain't gonna
-have any to spend.

,We see where Senator Spessard
Holland is going to miss the Flor-
ida State Fair due to the fact that
he is leading a fight in,the senate.
A true Southerner. He's doing the
LiEADING. But he ain't going to
be the only one to miss the fair.
We're going to miss it and we're
not even a Senator and even had
two complimentary passes (of
which Mrs. W. H. Howell relieved
us after reading last week's col-
umn).

If you want to see something
real pretty, just come by the Star
office in about two or three years.
We planted three weeping willow
trees in our front yard this week
between our building and where
the sidewalk is supposed to be


I II


and hope to have some beautiful
trees in a few years.
Did you notice in our lead story
on the-front page of last week's
Star that the state board looking
into the possibility of raising the
teacher's salary that they didn't
think it was necessary to obtain
many teachers with master's de-
grees to teach in Florida's schools.
What we want to know, is why
not? Is it just because the state
may have to pay them more? Here
Florida has more money left over
at the end of the year than any
state around us and pays their
leac hers less -than; all,-.the ohier
states around us.
Just in case you.have a mistaken
idea that Mr. B. W. Eells has been
in a fight of some kind, you can
stop wondering along these lines.
Seems as if Mr. Eells had a wori-
some mole on the side of his nose
and had it plucked from its resting
place. The bandage only hides Dr.
Ward's handiwork.

As this is being written on Mon-
day, we can't help but wonder what
action the County Commissioners
are going to take at their meeting
Tuesday. (Of course it will be tak-
en and on our front page by the
time you read this).

The Junior Class of the High
School is going to be selling sub-
scriptions to the Star for a few
weeks now and are working on a
commission basis. So if they come


to see you and you are not a sub-
scriber of the Star, let them "write
you up" for a year. Just three skins
brings you 52 editions of Port St.
Joe's best newspaper. (of course
it's the worst, too, but we don't
think about that).

industry here to provide money for the town,
tourist facilities and many other things that our
town can certainly be proud of.
But we have one of the most vital parts of
any town missing. What is it? A cemetery. Why
nearly every hamlet in the United States has
one, but not our Port St. Joe. Why is this?
We understand that several committees and
organizations have been formed for the express
purpose of obtaining a cemetery for our town but
to no avail. What's wrong? Surely there are
many residents that live here now that want to
be buried here when they pass on. One of the
first things that the old city of St. Joseph did
was to establish a cemetery. Here we've been
steadily growing for the past fifteen years and
still are no farther along in this respect than
when we started.
Something should be done about this. If
hno group can bring, this need about then the
City council should be approached to take steps
to provide the community with thisinstallation.

Maybe it's time the word "lazy" became
respectable. Did you ever hear of a lazy man
going to a psychiatrist?

Duncan Stuart said: "What this world needs
most of all is a broader consciousness of the in-
finite brotherhood of human souls."

CAMPUS INN
News of Port St. Joe High School
By MARTHA COSTIN


Port St. Joe High School contri-
buted a great deal to the March of
Dimes. The official figure is not
in, but there were several out-
standing contributions.
The most outstanding contribu-
tion of the campaign was made by
SThe. 9-A Civics class washed
Agnes Culpepper as mistress of
ceremonies, -he basketball team
was auctioned to the students as
servants for a day. Patsy Wilder,
Boncile MdCCrmick, Martha Mil-
ler, Ann Kenney, Joe Addams,.
'rank Dennis, Robert Walters and
penny Roberts brought the sum of
$31.85.
The 9-A Cievics class washed
"ars and received the sum of $16.
Appreciation is extended to the
city and :the citizens for their fine
cooperation. .
Although the count is unofficial,
'there should be well over $50. We
did our part, did you do yours?
Student-Faculty Basketball Game
Coming tq Port St. Joe is the
greatest, most hilarious, and
breathtaking of all events. The


Junior class is sponsoring a bas,
ketball game between the faculty
and the high school's "slow" team.
(of course they wouldn't need a
slow team to keep up with Mr.
Ayers). The teachers will wear
uniforms like they used to wear in
the early 1900's. (fancy bloomer
type britches with black stockings
up to their knees). This great event
will be Thursday. February 5 at
the Centennial Auditorium. Don't
miss this great event, as there
never has and never shall be one
like it. Don't miss this grand op-
portunity, Thursday night.
"Salesmen"
The Junior class has become
salesmenn" of the week. They are
selling anything from Shark, boos-
ter tags to wrapping paper. Among
the long list of articles being sold
are Easter cards, assortment cards
for all occasions, stationery,, both
initialed and plain, wrapping ribbon
and mailing boxes. If you have any-
thing that you wish to- buy please
contact Virginia Swatts or any
member:of the Junior class, for the
sky's the limit.

The school was presented with
a loud speaker -system last Wed-

FISHING' and HUNTING'
Straight From A "Harper"
Named George

Huntin' is over for several
months now, so grease up the old
gun and put it safely away in a
wool-lined bag, so that it will be
ready to give you service next No-
vember.
Fishing proved to be disappoint-
ing to many people who tried their
luck on the Lake area--this week


end. Poor catches were reported
by nearly all parties. When there
is a storm disturbance in the air,
fish seem to sense such a fact.
Anyway they can't be caught at
such a time.
When Furnace Is "Furniture"
Because the household rumpus
room frequently houses the furnace,
the demand has developed for fur-
naces with exterior jackets that are
as colorful and attractive as furni-
ture. For the purpose, industrial
finish engineers have developed sp .
oial finishes in striking colors which
resist heat, scratching. and marring
and are easy to keep clean.

TALK ABOUT LUCK
Gus Creech came by the Star of-
fice the other day and reported
that he and Bill Addams were hunt-
ing up around Indian Bayou Sun-
day, and on their way back by way
of boat, they spotted a deer stand-
ing on the bank.
According to Creech, the buck
jumped in the water and swam
in front of their boat. Just as Gus
was drawing a bead on the 8-point
buck from a point-blank range he
happened to remember that the
season was out gently dlwered his
gun and wished the deer a few gen-
tle words of godspeed.
The undaunted hunters nearly
captured the deer alive as he scam-
per;ed out of the water back onto
the bank, but he got away.
That's just as Gus told it, is all
we know.

'"Horse Cocktails" Gon6
Ailing horses often used to get"a
kick out of life, before modern
scierin tcaine along with fancy pill
and wonder-working drugs. Some
veterinarians of the horse-and-
buggy. d aya considered "rum,
whiskey, brandy, gin, port, sherry,
-cl&(e.t, champagnegn, tou ale, and
lager- beer as particularly useful in
aiding the recovery of sick horses."
Today, penicillin, sulfa drugs, and
vitamin-mineral tonics have largely
replaced the cocktail hour for
equine patients.
