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- Sharks Lose Thriler To Carrubelle Monday The Port St. Joe Sharks were de- feated by the Carrabelle five Mon- day night by a margin of four points, the final score being 51-47.

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.

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.

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. r'-l I -II -I-----. I o THE STAR, PORT ST.JOE,.

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.

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.
