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.

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.

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). ------c----- THE LOW DOWN0 ----- frpm --- WILIS SWAMP *Hyving, in mxy: sashaying, around the country, iput in .some time liimbing lec'rkic light poles around North Dakota- trying to ind short circuits .in smoky roundhouse wir- ing from Cieburne.

HERRING, Owner Phone 363 Port St. Joe 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."

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.

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.

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.
