Funeral Services Held
For Mrs. Pitie G. Price

Funeral services were held Mon-
day at the Cypress Creek Church at
Kinard for Mrs. Pitie G. Price, 67,
who died at the Port St. Joe Muni
cipal Hospital Saturday night. Mrs.
Price had been a resident of Kinard
for the past 50 years and had many
friends throughout Gulf and Cal-
houn counties.
Survivors include two sons, Jun-
ior of Kinard and J. C. of Port St.
Joe, one daughter, Mrs. Carl Good-
son of Port St. Joe, one brother,
Dake Gaskin of Panama City; one
sister, Mrs. Martha Land of Kinard;

Comforter Funeral Home of Por
St. Joe was in charge of arange-

SAccording to J. L. Sharit, super-
intendent of the Apalachicola Nor-
thern Railroad, there will be a to-
tal of 15 switching tracks across
the highway where there are now
two and that future expanded oper-
ations of the St. Joe Paper Com-
pany, which the tracks serve, will
incessitate at least a total of six
to seven hours a dau switching
across the highway.
According to Sharit, this future
i:e-up of traffic between thif, ci;v
and Panama City and +i,-up of fu-
:ure tourist traffic through here
over the new short-cut now being
constructed to South Florida, nec-
essitated the railroad's proposal to
the State Road Department that
the overpass be built with the rail-
road bearing part of the expense.
Sharit said that even today the
traffic tie-up on this highway is
enormous and dangerous, with the
danger to be multiplied many times
with the new tracks across the
highway and cobsts~t ai ; r.-acrs
the highway by ha1lvly .loaded
trains.
Sharit assured all property own-
ers in the vicinity of the proposed
overpass will be provided with
adequate outlets and inlets to the
highway. Present plans call for the
automobile road into the Paper
Company parking lot to go under
the underpass and run parallel
to the railroad tracks.
Plans are now in the process of
being drawn up and Sharit expects
the Road Department to present the
plans to the railroad within two
weeks for approval and is hoped
to start construction in the very
near future.

Rev. Harry Douglas Addresses Scouts

At Court of Honor Ceremonies Monday


Rev. Harry Bell Douglas spoke
before a large attendance of par-
ents, Scouts and invited guests last
Monday night at the Boy Scout
Court of Honor meeting held at the
Scout Hut.
He spoke on the relationship be-
tween the work of the Scout and
the home life and pointed out that
without the help of the parents,
Scouting would be meaningless to
the Scout, but by both working to-
gether, it becomes an interest and
desire on the part of both. This, in
turn, makes Scouting one of the
most outstanding organizations in
the United States today, with out-
standing leaders directing it.
Twenty four, Scouts received
their Tenderfoot Badges present-


ed to them by Assistant Scoutmas-
ter, Larry Kingsbury.
Cpl. Gene Chism, an Eagle Scout,
presented the merit badges, Percy
Fleishel presented the 2nd class
awards and Rev. Harry Douglas
presented the 1st Class Awards.
J. Lamar Miller presented the Star
Awards and John Simpson, Scout-
master, presented the Gold Award
to W. W. Barrier, in the absence
of his son, John Barrier.

A TOUCH OF DEMOCRACY
In the past few years it has been the rule
more than the exception for state representatives
congressman, senators and other assorted spe-
cies of the growth known as "politicians" to
"represent" the people as the politician saw fit,
without asking any, save a chosen few, of their
constituents about their opinions and wants
for their community. But now, right smack in
the middle of all this "remote control represen-
tation" we-have our state senator and state rep-
resentative, George Tapper and Cecil G. Cos-
tin, Jr., coming right out in the open and ask-
ing the people of the county just what they want
il the way of legislation for our particular cor-


ner of the state.
This is being written before the meeting
will take place but we trust there will be a
large delegation at the city hall to express their
views and we hope even further, that the sena-
tor and representative follow up all worthwhile
suggestions.
All through the annuls of history, we have
read of nothing but corruption in our govern-
ments. Some of the most famous men in his-
tory had some of the most corrupt regimes of
anyone in history. Believe it or not, but accord-
ing to students of history and government, cor-
ruption in government is slacking off.
We know that what we see now is pretty
grim. But at least we do see or know what is
going on and are taking steps to correct it. Some
of these'steps seem to be blundering steps, such
as the ones being taken by our national govern-
ment, but they are steps. If the will of the
people is strong enough and their will is known
in no uncertain terms to their representatives in
government, the mess will be straightened out
or the people will do something about it.
Yes sir, Senator Tapper and Representative
Costin are stepping just a little out of line of
the politicians trodden path of secrecy, but let
us hope than they step farther out of that path
and strive to give us a little old-fashioned
honest government.


Bacon said: "He that defers his charity until
he is dead is, if a man weighs it rightly, rather
liberal of another man's goods than his own."


LETTERS
TO THE EDITOR

Monday, March 2, 1953
Editor THE STAR
Dear Wesley:
Like most of us here, I enjoy the
nice publicity that Port St. Joe and
2
area receives from the Panama
City News-Herald. Only recently,
they ran a' good story on the com-.
ing development by Sinclair Oil
Company.
Then, some misguided reporter
comes along and spoils all the good
feeling which good publicity pro-
motes by 'making the completely
unfounded '' statement that the
sands on our beaches are far, far
down the list in comparison wich
the whiteness of that of Panama
City as well as other Florida cities
of neighboring states, which they
specifically, mentioned.
I don't believe that the majority
of our friends in Panama City
share that belief. In the first place,
most of the other cities which he
mentioned would not even com-
pare with Port St. Joe. In the sec-
ond place, I am wondering just
where does oui poor reporter con-
sider that Panama City Beaches
end and Port St. Joe beaches be-
gin. Could it be that he (or she)
might be taking in the shore line
all the way to Highland View?
Aside from that section of beach
south of us, where the big muddy
tends to discolor the sand, I know


of no strip of sand north of High-
land View that would not compare
with Panama City beaches. Per-
haps our friend is trying frantically
to lure some of the tourist trade
back that is surely and not slowly
coming our way. Or perhaps he
(or she) is using, such publicity
to cover up sime of the not-so-fav-
orable points of his (or her) sec-
tion.
It's a good thing. that nothing
was said about the sand around
Fort Walton and Santa Rosa
Sound. Maybe Panama City has
already annexed that, also. How
about it, neighbors?
Yours truly,
HARRY McKNIGIHT

'Dear Harry Probably they fi-
gure that beaches go along with
that old saying about the meat be-
ing better "higher, on the hog" and
figure the sand ought to be better
"higher on the coastline."

ETAOIN SHRDLU
by WESLEY R. RAMSEY


We were in receipt of a very in-
teresting letter this past week. We
received a notarized letter from
Damon Peters from the colored
quarters proclaiming the fact that
he was in no way connected with
the. nurwbers racket. We think it
would be a good idea for all of the
prominent colored citizens ito go on
record with the same statement.
We are also of the opinion that
these same leading colored citi-
zens should join. in the effort ito
cleanse their part of town of this
stigma.
You know, a racket like that
can't operate without customers.
If the leading colored citizens
would take steps to educate their
citizens from this practice and try
to ferret out their operators they
could raise their esteem in their
fellow citizens eyes.
PThe whites coulrld stand a little


Due to the fact that the first
part of the week was so all fired
beautiful we were of the opinion
that spring had sprung so we wan-
dered out front to breathe a little
fresh *air and noticed, that our
weeping willow trees recently plant-
ed in front of the shop here had
just busted out all over with tiny
green leaves. Then were sure that
spring had sprung. Well later on
in the day we journeyed to the
front door again to savour some of
that good clean air (untarnished
with paper mill smoke) and no-
ticed :that the leaves had disap-
peared and we were ready to re-
port a miracle when we discovered
that they had been neatly plucked
off by two little mischevious hands.
If those trees live through this,
they will live through anything.

We are one of the privileged few
now. We saw Mark Tomlinson the
other day with a cigar that was
lit.

Persons interested in the con-
troversial toll highway question

cen)ber entitled "Toll Highways:
The Florida Proposal" highly in-
Ibrmative.
It is written by Merrill J. Rob-
erts, associate professor of trans-
portation and economics, is un-
baised and whether you are for,or,
against toll highways you will find
it worthwhile reading.
In his carefully prepared survey,
Professor Roberts points out that
highway inadequacy is nationwide,
plaguing virtually every state, and
not peculiar to Florida alone.
Detailed studies of this state's
highway system reveals a discour-
aging picture of accumulated defi-
ciencies with bleak prospect for
their correction. Effective moderni-
zation of our highways to meet
present day needs would require
an outlay of nearly a billion dol-
lars during the next three-years.
Available revenues under our pres-
ent system will only produce about
one-fifth of this amount.
In 1951 the Florida State Primary
System consisted of 9,572 miles,
representing 18 per cent of the to-
tal ;mileage. This network, how-
ever, handled 55 per cent of the
traffic and had 80 per cent of the
deficiencies anticipated over the
next .two decades.

redesign and reconstruction became

Allocation of road funds by both
state and federal government does
not encourage construction where
most needed but has resulted in a
sprawling, disconnected system of
county roads which serve isolated
needs, while the primary system
that is called on to carry the bulk
of the traffic suffers.
If Florida is to solve its-highway
problem which is' daily becoming
more acute, it is apparent that she

of toll or in increased gasoline
taxes. If all motor vehicle taxes
went for road construction it would
still prove far short of the need,
but in Florida motor vehicle taxes
are diverted to other uses to the
end that the motorist is paying
more than his share of taxes.
Increased motor traffic, both
tourist and industrial, reveals the
fact that our economic future rests
on our ability to provide adequate
highway transportation facilities.
Our great ,tourist industry, citrus
industry, cattle industry as well as
countless lesser industries all de-
pend on highways for their future
growth and development.
It is apparent that we must turn
to a means of providing highways
that will not involve-widening and
straightening those that now pass
through heavily populated areas
where right-of-way costs would be
exorbitant. We cannot continue to
route arterial highways.through the
center of town but must find new
routes for throughways that can
be acquired at a minimum of cost.
Every day we delay means the tax-
payer must pay more.
It is a serious problem and one
that every citizen and taxpayer
would do well to study.
