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; 13 grandchildren, and four great. grandchildren. Comforter Funeral Home of Por St. Joe was in charge of arange- ments. 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. -K VET OFFICER TO BE IN PORT ST.

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.

The spoken word is lost; the printed word remains. 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." -ED.

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.

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.

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.
