Scouts Observing

43rd Anniversary

The observance of the 43rd an-
niversary of the founding of the
Boy Scoutsof America opened Sun-
day with most scouts attending a
special Boy Scout service at the
St. James' Episcopal Church at
7:00 p.m.
The theme of the service was in
keeping with the anniversary .of
the Boy Scouts, including special
music and sermon by the Rev. Har-
ry Douglas. Riev.-Douglas spoke on.
"Forward On Liberty's Team". He
'emphasized the fact even though
there are over a million and a half
members of the organization, each
fellow has his part to share in free-
dom. He brought out that in
Christ's teaching we are taught
freedom within the world, within
the nation and then within our-
selves. As soon as an individual
realizes that he is important, then
the effort for any cause, this being
freedom, becomes important too.
Those Boy Scouts that participated
in the service were W. L. Smith
who read the lesson; Robert Ned-
ley led the scout oath; Jackie Da-
vis and Ralph Swatts acted as
ushers; Frank LeHardy' and Jm-
my. Fuller, Flabearers .and, Bert
Muan and Ronald-Taylor were the
acolytes.
Tuesday -morning Port St. JqA
and Gulf Copnty began ,their fi-
nance campaign under the direc-
tio. 9pf J. L NIaar'. Miller. with a
k ekof "irAkfi~ apt hotel St.. Jle.

the Sharks. trailing by a score of
13-30.

OUR PUNISHMENT?

Some six or eight years ago there was a discussion
brought before the County Commissioners to th6 effect that
since there was two newspapers in the county and since the
Commission paid, with county funds, to have the minutes
of the Commissioners meetings published and paid at the
rate of $35.00 per meeting, then the Commissioners should
divide the task and the reward between the two papers,
thus making The STAR the official County-Organ one year
and the Gulf County BREEZE the official County Organ
the next year, and so on.
Evidently, this arrangement suited everyone fine since
it went for these six or eight'years without a hitch except for
a short period when the Commissioners decided to let both
papers publish the minutes and divide the $35.00 between
them. This only lasted for a few months, however, before
returning to the original plan.
Now comes the year 1953 and, the STAR'S year to be
the official County Organ. The first month of this' year,
The STAR was the official County Organ. Then came the
action by the Commissioners that The STAR opposed and
as of this month, The STAR is no longer the County Organ.
Now if the Commissioners want to be as childish as this
it's all.right with us. If they are not men enough to take
a little criticism in the manner they should, they should go
back to kiddie cars and sand piles.
On top of all that, just when has it become permissable
for the Commissioners to change the flow of the COUNTY'S
money when. THEY PERSONALLY, have been attacked.
Commissioner Whitfield made the motion to make the
BREEZE the County Organ in our stead and the motion was
secondeFb by Commissioner Daniels, both of Wewahitchka
and the motion received Va Vte sufficient to carr.
.:. .Mayle we should-ha\ e. kept our mouth slht and said
-nothing about their incident like: the BREEZE, who as 'yet'
has published nothing about-their outrage, except the fact
that they rescinded their action. But, that isn't running a
newspaper, that's just printing one.
You will notice that we did not say in so many, words
in this editorial that the only reason that we were deprived
of our turn at serving ts the County Organ, was because of
our stand in the recent action by the Commission, but you
have to admit, it sure smells that way.

Ranger Reports Forest Fire
On Increase In Gulf Co.
For-t ,re :curTeuI,:e in 'Gulf
,C.unty is in,:rea3ing. County Ran
ger H. A. Hardy said Tuesday.
.,Statistcs compiled by the Gulf
County Florida Forest Service Fire
Control Unit show that 45 fires
have burned '1,046.1 acres of tim-
berland during the six-months per-
iod from July up through January
1 of this year. Last years record
for the same period shows that '31
fires burned 313 acres of land.
A decrease in the amount of rain
and a number of killing frosts were
two of the major.f:ac'urs contribut-
ing to the big i'nrease in. fires,
County Ranger Hardy said. Frost
kills green undergrowth, making it
highly inflammable, the ranger
pointed out.
"Florida's worst season for forest
fires is during the dryr fall and
winter months," Couity Ranger
Hardy said. "All residents of Gulf
County should use extreme care
with fires in the woods during the
months ahead."

PRAYER IN GOVERNMENT
(The following editorial was published in
the Oelwein (Iowa) Register. We believe that
the public will welcome such action by the new
government as is brought forth in this editorial.
ITherefore we are printing it for your edification.
-The Editor).
Those of our readers who have been receiv-
ing confidential letters from Washington will
agree with this observation. There are several
reporting services to be purchased including'
Kiplinger, Babson and others. On many things
they disagree, but the persistence of one obser-
waiion comes as one of the finest things to hap-
pen in the White House.
We refer to the constant evidence that the
?resident and his cabinet are religious men.
Reports persisted that left no question about
'Eisenhower's belief in the.real need of prayer.
l1he men he selected, without a variation, are
.deeply religious men.
We have heard from ministers and lay-
~en alike: "What our government needs, what
Ute United Nations needs is application of the
Colden Rule and the Sermon on the Mount in
igh ci-cr es--practical applied Chri tianity in
government to as great an extent as poss-
." This wo rl'd reduce vilification, vindictive-
ness, bitterness between minority groups.
hne report'this week pointed out that Mar-
ti'Durkin, new Secretary of Labor, was "deeply
idigious," that he already has won the warm
seem of the President. Other reports indicated
the same about the other cabinet officials.
Word has now leaked out that the first
meeting of the new cabinet opened with prayer.
According to one eye witness, Eisenhower quiet-
ly called on Ezra Benson, Secretary of Agricul-
ture, to pray. This was not arranged in advance.
It was not for publicity purposes. It was a quiet,
spontaneous revelation of the existence of hon-
est, religious convictions in the hearts of the
men highest in our government. This is not the
first time such evidence of Divine need has
been expressed by our leaders. More often than
not, our Presidents and cabinet men have been
deeply religious. But there has been a post-war
development of "temporalness," if we may coin
a word, in government which seems to have
directed a trend based on political and personal
expediency. "What will benefit me most?"
"What decision is the most politically expe-
dient?"
What is to be' seen in Washington's top
echelon today reveals signs that the prayers of
Christian people all over America are being
answered.

WE DISAGREE, SENATOR
A couple of weeks ago the STAR carried
a story on recommendations for a raise in teach-
er's wages that were set down by a committee
of which our own Senator George Tapper was
a member. The committee recommended a
$300 per annum raise to a grade "3" teacher and
a very low percentage of a raise for higher grade
teachers. In the words of the committee "we
don't see the need for hiring teachers with the
degree of "doctor" in our schools, especially in
any numbers." Right along about here we dis-
agree with the Senator and his fellow committee
members.
.: The way we see it, the State of Florida and
the counties therein should spare no expense in
hiring the best brains available to teach our
coming generations. Above all, teachers should
be given the financial incentive'to seek higher
degrees and to better prepare themselves to meet
the task of teaching. At present, no teacher
dares undergo the expense of receiving their
doctor's degree. We interviewed one of the lo-
cal teachers, and it was reported by this teacher
that under the proposed wages, it would take
four years to pay the teacher back for the ex-
pense incurred during one semester of work on
a doctor's degree. By the time work was finished
on the doctorate, the teacher doubted if life
would be long enough to receive full remunera-
tion.
We congratulate Senator Tapper and his co-
workers for finally undertaking the task to raise
the teacher's under-pay; but Senator, please
don't lower the standards for teachers any more.
With all the money the State of Florida had left
over last year,.it looks like they could encourage
the hiring of teachers with higher degrees and
pay them more. Either that or cut the taxes. Idle
money is no good- Personally we had rather
see the improvement in teacher standards and
pay than a tax cut and feel that' every parent
feels like we do.
Senator, we received -a compliment to you
'' iA e nail tle other day from~the Florida Tax-
payers Association, Inc., for your work on the
Legislative Reference Council and Research Bu-
reau, which is dedicated to saving the taxpayers
money. Now don't ruin things by failing to
stand up for more teacher pay for higher de-
grees and encourage the hiring of said teachers
with higher degrees instead of going in the oth-
er direction. We're going to wind up one of
these days with no teachers if things continue to
go along in their present line.


THE DUB HAS BEEN FLUBBED
No doubt, you have.read in the papers and
heard over the radio for the past-few days of
the report made by General James A. VanFleet
about the bumble in Korea. According to Van
Fleet thle Communists could have been beaten
several times since 1951, but because of the start.
of truce talks and orders from on high, the ar-
my's hands had been tied and as a consequence
the Communists have reinforced their position
and fortified their positions untilit will take
considerably more lives to rout them now. Ac-
cording to Van Fleet the conflict could have al-
ready been over if some arm chair ameteur gen-
erals hadn't flubbed the dub; or could it be that
they just didn't care.
Those guys should be sent to Korea and
let them enjoy the comfort of a foxhole and a
bunker with hercules heat, (powder that is).

down in the vicinity of Frank Han.

and left our title at home with all
the figures necessary to get said

There's two people in this town
that will never slip up 'on you.
They are Charley Wall the friendly


leather. You reckon he's making toward Honey's Cafe. Now we did- electrician and "Pete" Comforter,


the friendly undertaker. You can
hear their belly-laughs half way
across town.

We got word from Cecil Costin,
'Jr., that the city dads are 'cogitat-
ing on the matter of modernizing
the city's building and electrical
wiring codes and bringing them up
to safer and more modern stan-
dards. That's the stuff, boys, keep
up to date.

Us firemen had our ;i-monthly
supper this past Tuesdvg night at
Honby's Cafe at which Fice Chief
Buck. Griffin, was La guest. We see
now how he. keeps his boyish fig-
ure. In 11 minutes and secondss
(more or less) he had downed a
king-size steak garnished with
MANY french fries, lettuce and to-
mato, onions, pickles and what-not.
Frank Hannon went around after
the dinner was over with a paper
sack gathering up left-overs for
his pup. I bet that dog enjoyed
that!

We journeyed out to the St. Joe
Lumber and Export Company last
Friday morning in quest of some
job printing and Floyd Hunt offer-
ed 'to take us through the saw
and planer mill and show us the
sights. We readily took him up on
it and immediately set out to en
joy ourselves. That is quite an op-
eration out there. AILthat business
is built around one saw. But how
that saw moves! At the time we
were there, Foy Scheffer, Sr., war
acting as sawyer (I reckon). He
was chomping up those logs at the

rate of about one a minute. Just
think, a log a minute and as he
cuts, the sawyer must be figuring
all the time how to get the most
boards out of a log..,And even with
this expertness and care, you would -
be surprised' at the ,amount of.
waste there is in a log that is cut
up for lumber.
We found out that the local lum.
bar mill did more than just make
plain house-building lumber. They
make everything from bowling al-
ley floors to shingles and every
kind and shape of lumber that you
cai think .6f.,:'i
That poor janitor out there; as
fast as he would sweep, the saw-

floor and he would just have to

Fort Pickens One of Newest and Most

Interesting of Florida's State Parks


By ADMIRAL WILLIAM SINTON,
USN (Ret.)
One of the most difficult state
parks to reach but one of the most
worthwhile to see is famed Fort
Pickens across the bay from Pen-
sacola. It is located at the site of
the first white settlement in Flor-
ida though no ruins or relics of
that settlement now remain. It c.n
be reached only by water or by
"jeep" along the beach from Santa
Rosa Beach. A road to make this
park accessible is a "must".
The present fort is one of four
beautiful brick structures built be-
tween 1830 and 1850 to protect the
deep water, strategic port of Pen-
sacola which then was the location
of a major Navy Yard-now the U.
S. Naval Air Station at Pensacola.
It is pentagonal in shape With a
bastion at each corner and was
complete with covert dry ditch and
glacis. It was designed for 250 guns


at times it declined to a single
caretaker.
Besides the fact that it is a beau-
tiful example of the masons art
with marvelously rounded ceilings
of "rubbed brick" it has had several
"historic moments". In January
1861 the only United States troops
stationed in the Pensacola area
were 50 men under Lt. A. A. Slem-
mer, U. S. A. Southern forces were
being assembled in the area and
Lt. Slemmer knew there was no'
possibility of defending the forts
On the mainland should the Con-
federates attack. As soon as word
arrived that the Alabama forts had
been seized, Slemmer decided to
evacuate the mainland and estab-
lish his garrison at Fort Pickens
since that fort completely com-
manded the harbor and Navy Yard
and could be reinforced and sup-
plied from the sea. He successfully
spiked the guns of Fort Barrancas

is the use of Fort Pickens to cam-

After World War II, the War De-
partment declared a number of
coast defense facilities surplus,
among them all four of the Pemn-
sacola Bay Forts and in 1949 Fort
Pickens was placed under the jant
isdiction of the Florida Board. of
Parks and Historic Memorials. This
board is now doing an outstanding
job preparing the area for visitors,
but until we get a five mile roaT
built along Santa Rost Island,
these visitors will be restricted to
those able to visit the island by
boat, hikers, "jeepers" and channel
swimmers. Regular boat service is
available during the summer and
we who love and appreciate this
historic memorial hope that you'll
be able to visit it by road in tfie
very near future.

drew Pickens of 'South 'Carpliaa

Edmonds Urges

Floridians To

Show Patriotism

Taking up a challenge from Pres-
,ident Eisenhower's inaugural ad-
,dress, Dr. J. Ollie Edmunds, presi-
,Adent of Stetson University, DeLand,
rarges all Floridians to "sound off"
,about America and the freedoms
we cherish so the American way of
iLe may spread to the farthest cor-
ners of the earth and bring peace
,to the world.
"The phrase which challenged
-se more than any other was: 'We
:.are called as a people to give tes-
.timony, in the sight of the World,
to our faith that the future shall
belongng to the free' Dr. Edmunds
said.
Our first PreiSdent had this
4aith, he said-the patriots who
signed the Declaration of Indepen-
Idence also had it as did the men
who wrote our Constitution.
"During the two World Wars our
gatriotism flamed h ig h. Faith
was the sustaining factor of our
lives. But in the aftermath, our
patriotism cooled .. while we
,dosed others were working found

"But, thank God, we are awake
again. We hear a new Commander-
in-Chief saying 'a people that valu-

which he believes will make the
future "the future of the free".
They are:
(1) "We as a nation should face
realistically the hard fact that the
United Nations in its present form

(2) "Our Government must use

means to help the captive peoples
of the world get out of the fix they

(3) "Our Government should put

Paying More For

Food Than In '52


Housewives are now paying
about three percent more for pro-
cessed fruit and vegetables than
they were last June when all'price
controls on these items were lift-
ed by Congress, A. Reid Mann,
Florida Director of the Office of
Price Stabilization, revealed Mon-
day.,
Mann said the OPS recently
compared 69 comparable processed
fruit and vegetable items advertis-
ed by a large chain store with those
of six months earlier, before Con-
gress decontrolled them.
-The check revealed that more
than 20 percent were selling at
more than their old ceiling prices,
the Director explained.
Inflation will be as big a threat
in 1953 as it was during the past
year, Mann said, and he urged ev-
ery American' to learn all they can
about inflation, its causes and con-
trol.
"Communism is still a threat to
the free world and as long as this
menace exists there is little reason
to suspect that our defense mobil-
ization program will be greatly
slowed down," the Director dis-
closed.
"In 1952 the cost-of-living index
broke record after record. Employ-
ment and spending were at all
time highs and there probably will
be very little change in 1953. Con-
sumers and business alike feel that
prices and costs are too high.

foods, apparel, rents or miscellan-
eous items could have a noticeable
effect on the overall cost-of-living
index. Every one percent change in
either direction means a difference
of more than $2 billion in our cost
of living.
"Despite Congressional exemp-
tion of many items from price cgon-
trol your price stabilization" pro-
gram has done a good job up until
now, but it's only half completed.
The OPS has saved the govern-
ment and consumers alike millions
of dollars and the program has

Fire Fighting Attracts

Big Field Day Audience
MIDDLEBURY, Vt. Approxi-
mately 3,500 persons attended the re-
cent Addison county field day, the
largest attendance in the history of
the event.
With emphasis on rural fire pre-
vention, protection and control, field
day goers thronged to the big tent
where they witnessed blazing build-
ings, actual explosions, all in minia-
ture, showing how easily common
carelessness can bring about dis-
aster.
The volunteer, fire department of
the small town had the spectators
on their toes as a small building
saturated with gas and oil was
ignited. Another building within
three feet quickly caught fire and
the only protection at hand was one
pack pump, a fire pond and one
bucket.
The fire department was sum-
moned and arrived minutes later
in a pick-up truck with a portable
-pumper, -two lines of hose and a
handful of men.
.The-demonstration was planned
to show how a garden, hose, or a
pump could keep a fire in check,
while other assistance was called.
It also showed the importance of
action during the first five minutes
of a fire, the value of a farm pond,
how it could be reached with a
portable pumper and how any small
town, with a handful of interested
volunteers, can add to the protection
of rural homes in case of fire.

Corn Meal and Molasses

Offer Valentine Treat


The versatile corn meal that
kept America's colonists alive dur-
ing their first winter in this coun-
try makes a delightful Valentine
treat when combined with mo-
lasses, or sorghum, cinnamon,
ginger and milk to make an Indian
Pudding. Topped with vanilla ice
cream, it is an attractive and
healthful dessert, especially for the
youngsters.
Indian Pudding is almost as old
as America, itself, for it was an-
other use of corn meal developed
by the early settlers. Even early-
day recipes specified milk as the
liquid, and the addition of an egg
to increase the healthful qualities
of this dessert.
The ice cream, of course, is a
more modern touch, but it is an
outgrowth of the earlier practice of
serving Indian Pudding with cool
cream, or a hard sauce, poured
over it. This dessert may be served
warm or cold, no matter what
topping is used.
Men like Indian Pudding with a
big scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Children will regard it as a special
Valentine's Day treat if the ice
cream is first shaped in a heart
mold.
