Hospital Auxiliary Lists Activities


The Hospital Auxiliary, formed
over a year ago by Mrs. Robert
Tapper and a group of civic-minded
women of the city, who saw the
need for such an organization to
aid in any way possible the Munici-
pal'Hospital, is steadfastly becom-
ing one of the city's most outstand-
ing organizations. Membership in
the auxiliary is composed as nearly
as possible on an equal number
being chosen from each church de-
nomination and from various club
workers in the city.
Officers elected for this year are
Mrs. J. Lamar Miller, president;
Mrs. A. P. Wakefield, Rummage
sale chairman; Mrs. Percy Fleishel,
treasurer; Mrs. Albert Ward, sec-
retary; and Mrs. Gannon Buzzett,


to hold office for the period of one
year.
Jn listing their accomplishments
in the past, which was brought
about from money collected from
the rummage sale, dues of the
members and the annual Hospital
Day silver tea, the Auxiliary has
assisted the city in buying metal
awnings for rooms with front ex-
posure; furnished waiting room
and porches with furniture, end
tables, pictures and mirrors; as-
sisted Damon Peters in furnishing
the north porch with furniture and
tables; purchased an incubator, la-
bor room bed, linens, baby blan-
kets,- curtains, silverware, water
sets, bed lights, footstools, coffee
services, trash containers, emer-


flower chairman. Each are elected agency room table, flower contain-


ers, bed trays, potted plants and
mirrors and installed awning win-
dows and blinds for the south
porch.\
Mrs. A. P. Wakefield, rummage
sale chairman is making an urgent
plea for anything that- can be of
use, either in wearing apparel or
in the home, especially for chil-
dren's, clothing.
This plea is being made due to
the fact that rummage which had
been collected was destroyed when
the building collapsed in last Sat-
urday's storm.
Please call Mrs. Wakefield *at
31-J or contact any one of the mem-
bers and the rummage will be pick--
ed up. Future location of the sale
has not been decided upon, but an
announcement will be made in
next week's issue of The Star.


City Dads To Adopt A



Building, Zoning Code


Volunteer Firemen See
Action Five Times In Week


The Volunteer Fire Department
was kept on its toes this past week
with a total of five fires.
Last Wednesday morning the
depArtment was called on to ex-
tinguish a blaze 'in J. L. Fuller's
garage behind his home on Long
Avenue. Mr. Fuller, by the way, is
a member of the Volunteer Fire
Department. Ironic, isn't it.
Saturday morning about 10:00
the department was alerted by a
mattress that had caught fire in
the colored quarters and at ap-
proximately 10:30 a blaze in a trail-
er at the Municipal Trailer Park
called the boys to duty again.
Yesterday afternoon the depart-
ment was called out by a grass
fire on 7th Street and later the de-
ment was called to the Colored
Quarters at Kenney's Mill where
two houses were completely des-
troyed. A lack of water and no
available fire plugs hampered the
operation of the department but
the blaze was confined and allowed
-to burn itself out. -
*-K
Sharits F~eturn Home
Mr. and Mr.<. J. L. Sharit have
returned home after spending t)i'
week end in Jacksonville and St.
Augustine. While in St, Augustine,
they visited with Mr. Sharit's bro-
ther and family, the A. L. Sharits.


City's Rapid Growth Shows
Need for Strict, Carefulhy
Planned Codes.


The Port St. Joe City Commis-
sion last week voted to adopt, a
new building and zoning code for-
the city.
Mayor Belin stated that the rapiir.
growth and the anticipated growth'
of the city demanded that a new
building and zoning code be pui
into force immediately, if not sooan.-
er.
The Mayor said that the Coar-
mission is receiving copies of the.
building codes of several cities anS
that they will select the good points
of each and secure the services of
an engineer to draw up a code to
meet the highest of safety staa-
dards for the city to go by.
The MIayor said that the coe~&
and zoning code will assure th i
growth of substantial and attrac-
tive residences and houses of bvis-
ness in the future and might ave- .
require some changes in presaeme
structures.
It was agreed by the Council andf
Mayor that the City was growiw--
-too rapidly and with the new addi-
tien tto -;,e ,p er mnill. tli'. additio..
al gro tlrWsould be too great ,'
hazard to othe City if not construet--
ed to a strict code.
Details of the codes are not avafl-
able yet, but as soon as they 'are.
they will be published in thte tar-

LET'S GET ON IT, BOYS!
'Some two weeks ago, the County Commis-
,~ioners of this county rescinded a law made by
them to legalize the sale of intoxicating bever-
ages in Gulf County, thus making the sale of
*said beverages on Sunday illegal. The Council
acted on public opinion in the matter.
By this action, the Council decided to fol-
Iow the state law concerning,the open hours of
establishments dealing in the sale of these bev-
Serages in question. The state law provides for
T:he closing of all such establishments at mid-
iaight Saturday night with the provision that
they shall not be re-opened for business again
. ntil the following Monday morning at 8:00
. m


This law is ndt being carried out in Gulf
:,County! We made the rounds of part of the es-
.lablishments dealing in alcoholic beverages in
:'e county but outside of any city limits Sun-
).day, and some of them definitely were open for
:,'.and doing business. Now, as far as we are able
-.to ascertain, the State Beverage Department is
itupposed to have the job of seeing that these
-'establishments close during the legal closing -
ourms, and stay closed until it is lawful for them
fe open again.
The Sheriff of this county is known to ev-
%ryone big enough to tip a coke bottle much less
those who are big enough to tip a whiskey bot-
tie. To send the county Sheriff out on a job
:suach as this is sheer nonsense. He couldn't get
within five miles of the place without the op-
erators knowing it and of course, they would
-set the stage for complete innocence by the
Nme the Sheriff got there.
Nevertheless, we are of the opinion that


ETAOIN SHRDLU
Sby WESLEY R. RAMSEY

"reeellll, we got ourselves invit-
'ed out to a sumptious feast by the
Botary Club last Thursday. A very
:good meal and all for free. Also
Swe were privileged 'to view the
SSilm brought here by the St. Joe
Lumber and Export Company on
the life and work of the lumber in-
4 ustry. That little old shingle that
is nailed bn some houses has cer-
'-ainly come through a lot of hands
and processes.

SWe dropped in the St. Joe Fur-
'aIture and Appliance Co., the other
-day to try to talk up some adver-
tising and sat in awe to the speil
' &y John Blount concerning his
newly discovered ulcers. He is as
aroud of those ulcers as Columbus
was when he discovered America.
S n his words, he is a martyr doom-
e~- to a life of milk, crackers and
soup for the duration of his pets.
P_ S. We didn't get the advertising
--yet. His resistance is getting
weaker though.


the Commission should request the State Bev-
erage Department to send some plainclothesmen
down here, especially on Sundays, to crack down
on this violation. We have the law down in
black and- white, now, so let's see that it is en-
forced.
We 'could call the names of those we saw
open, but that wouldn't be fair to the ones we,
didn't get around to catch in the act. If we cap
catch them, we know some strange beverage
department men could do likewise.
If it isn't stopped soon, and carried out ad-
cording to the law, this editor is going to start
finding out who is getting the pay-off to allow
these establishments to stay open when they are
supposed to be closed. When we find out who:
it is, if it- is, then' they are going to see their
name printed right here on this page in 72 point
type, which is big enough for anyone to see
without glasses.
The job can be done, and it must be done.
If the laws on the book are not carried out, the
book just might as well be thrown in the ash
can.


to the quarters to answer a fire but
it was only a mattress on fire. We
were back to the fire house. in less
than fifteen minutes. Then in an-
other fifteen minutes the whistle
blew again for a fire out in the
trailer park. If there had been a
serious fire in the quarters, the
pumper would have still been there
and by the time arrangements
could have been made to get it to
the trailer park chances are that
several other trailers would have
caught fire. At the present time
only the pumper on the Dodge fire
trucle works ahnf in a big fire the
city pressure just isn't enough to
operate the effective nozzles the
fire department now has. The city
is now just too big for only one
pumper'and a hose carrier. Both
trucks are to be made pumpers and
hose carriers. Maybe your fire in-
surance will drop now. We know
your fire protection will be even
more effective now.
Did you hear this past week
where Great Britain told us we
better not do anything drastic with-
out her approval. Do "you reckon

WILLIS SWAMP

I delve today into the law. This
is not to be a poppin'-off on "hap-
pus cappus," to-wit, whereas, "cor-
pus cristy" and hocus-pocus type
of legal vernac that sounds as if
the great man using such, really
was "there" and knew what he
was talking about. The angle I am
messin' with is, how can we afford
so much law.
Now, to put a finger on the sore
spots. The paper says that the
"wise nfien of the west"-law en-
thusiasts-there in' Sacramento,
California, in 12 days of their leg-
islative rodeo, dropped into the law
hopper 5405 proposed laws-1000
the last day. Those sunny Cal.
folks must be a rough and tough
bunch if it takes more than 5000
new laws each 2 years to keep 'em
in line and out of jail or in jail.
Either that or they are letting their
State Congress make monkeys of
'em. Any citizen of that Misi Lem-
on Juice land who could find time
to read 5000 new measures, lot
alone paying any attention to same.
he is a wizard.
How you gonna fix it, says Hen-
ry. Easy I says. Make just 2 laws.
One law to repeal 100 books full
of present laws, and pne law that
would slap into-jail any political'
gent who. would even propose one
new concoction.

IN MEMORIUM
This paper, and it's editor, feels a'
great sorrow in the death of Dr. L. H.
Bartee.
When we first came to Port St. Joe.
in 1940 from our home in Shamrock, Okla-
homa, the first boy we met was Edward
Bartee, and Edward introduced us to his:
grandfather, Dr. Bartee,.:we were 13 years
old at the time. Since that time we have
come to look upon Dr. Bartee as a personal
friend.
With our first job at the age of 15 de-
livering the Panama City News-Herald'
Dr. Bartee was one of our first and best
customers. When we assumed the owner-

,were again privileged,to have Dr. Bartee
as a "customer" of our paper.
Now, it has befallen on us the sad
task of writing his obituary in this week's,
issue of our paper, as the good doctor
slips "Across The Bar"..
.He' has befriended and prayed for
many of us in this town, including this
writer. Now let us utter a prayer for him
and his bereaved family.

Cherry Tarts Provide Neat

o Washington Birthday Treat


Whether the legend about George
Washington and the cherry tree is
founded on fact or fancy, it gives
children and grownups plenty of
thoughts about cherries in Fpb-
ruary. 0
George' Washington Tarts make
an excellent treat for youngsters
and dessert for grownups on Feb-
ruary 22, and they are easy to pre-
pare when made with self-rising
flour.
Self-rising is the flour that re-
" duces oven failures almost to the
vanishing point, because the bak-
ing powder ingredients and salt are
expertly mixed into quality flour
by the miller. It makes baking
easy, since it is necessary to add
only shortening and liquid to make
a pastry.
Decorations can be a little tree,
reminiscent of that one Washing-
ton so honestly confessed cutting
down with his little hatchet. Or
they can be a hatchet, or even a
Washington tri-cornered hat cut out
of Dastry or made with whipped
cream.

stirring constantly. Remove from

allow to cool. Pour into previously
baked tart shells and chill. Garnish

*If frozen cherries are used, re-
duce sugar to % cup.
To make pastry tarts:
Measure flour into small mixing

Rotary Club Sees Film On
Southern Pine Industry

J. Perce Fleishel presented a
moving picture before the Rotary
Club luncheon meeting, Thursday.
The picture produced by the
Southern Pine Association, entitled
"Lumber Manufacturing In The
South", portrayed in detail the
manufacturing of lumber, beginning.
with the growth of the trees to
maturity,, then the harvesting of
the timber crop by felling the ripe
trees, transporting the logs to the
saw mill, then the manufacture
and processing the lumber into the
finished product.
It was most interesting, particu-
larly to the local citizens who are
living in this vast timber growing
area where reforestation is so in-
tensely in practice and pine tim-
ber for pulpwood and sawlogs is
this territory's principal crop.
Franklin Jones, club president
presided and presented visiting Ro-
tarian Walter R. .McCormick, of
Redmond, Oregon.
Guests were Leonard Belin,
Terry Hinote and Wesley R. Ram-
sey.
