JOE, FLORIDA THURSbAY, JULY 9, 1953 $3.d0 Per Year NUMBER 44 I I II --L ~u ETAOIN SHRDLU by WESLEY R. RAMSEY In this week's issue of the Star o some page or another, you will find a column by Russell Kay on "Americanism". In his column, Kay wonders why American people can not give correct answers to his- torical questions in quiz programs, but can name any movie star, base- ball park, or any other thing com- mon to the everyday way of life in America. We are going to presume that the reason is that American his- tory didn't have the advertising that the more familiar products in SAmerica have had. Which just goes to show you, if a product is good, you still have to let the pub- lic know about it before you can .make them familiar with it. And you must familiarize the public with a product before you can sell i. We learned history in school, bui nobody kept hammering history at us day in and day out, so we quite naturally forgot most of it. We read a very interesting ar- ticle in this week's Life Magazine, that we feel everyone should read. The article concerned the war in Korea, and through what means the fighting man could make him- self go into battle in a war that is all but forgotten by the home front. As the author put it, "This war in Korea is unpopular on thae home front. In' ohe-r words, it just tackc. mpour It t: j a-d-!rty . job that seems rt. ba no end or no definite beginning. But one thing for sure, the GI. over there knows why he is fighting. The peo- ple at home don't however. We received a letter the other day from the Coca-Cola Company urging us to please capitalize the word "Coke" when we use it in a news story. Another one of those guys who don't care what you say about them just so long as you spell their name right. Wallace Finlay up in Blounts- town has been crowing for the past few months about his gar- den. We don't -have a garden but we bet Wallace or anybody else can't produce the variety of weeds. flowers, grasses or whatever they are that we have growing in front of our shop. There is a large var- iety of weeds.. some people say some of them are bound to be flow- ers, and we know we have a weep- ing willow tree, because we plant- ed it. And it's growing too. In an- other four or five years we'll have shade in our front yard. Now, all we have to do is find the time to sit under it. Well, we see our friend, Ed Bar- tee is back in town to open up of- fices as a chiropractor here. Ed was the first boy our age we met upon coming to Port St. .Joe in 1940. We learned the location of all the local swimming holes from Ed and also the art of "worm grunt- ing". ------------- Visiting In Canada Miss Mary Ann McFar'and is vis- iting for the summer with friends and relatives in Bigwinin.

Sants Trounce Nov Ladies' Night I The Port St. Joe Saints shelled the Navy nine to the tune of 10 to 1 in the last few innings of the game Sunday, behind the hurling of Tony Salamone. The Navy nine held the St. Joe team to four runs until the last half of the sixth when their start- ing pitcher, Lindamood tired and had to give up the mound. Salamone went the route for the Saints chalking up a record of four hits allowed, four strike outs and four walks. Wright and Adams di- vided catching duties. Lindamood started for the Navy and worked well until the last of the sixth when he had to be taken from the game. He allowed the Saints seven hits, and two walks and received no strikeouts. Wat- kins relieved Lindamood and gave up six hits, and one; walk. Camp- bell took the mound for the Navy in the Eighth and gave up two hits and one walk. The Navy team'showed definite :igra of improvement in the game, but are still weak in the pitching department.

This past week we received some figures From George Core relative to the County bud- get and the approval of the tax assessment for the coming year. Among the figures were some figures offered for the St. Joe Fire Control dis- trict, in which we were particularly interested in. These figures show that non-exempt lands in the district are assessed at a total of $535,700. This year the Tax Assessor was instructed to levy the legal tax on homestead exempt pro- perty for the purpose of financing the fire con- trol district. The formerly homestead exempt property came. to a total of $227,800. Does :this figure sound right for all the homestead property from the Bay County line to the Frank- lhn County line and East to a degree iaark just above White City, excluding the city limits of Port St. Joe? We were under the impression that the homes in Oak Grove were worth that much. According to our estimating and figur- ing and estimating, this would make the homes in Oak Grove and Highland View worth less than : $1,000 a piece. This doesn't count the host of beach homes and Beacon Hill, nor the homes at White City. : As far as that goes, it seems like the other figure of non-exempt property is too low, also. That would make .the! whole of Gulf County property in this large district, with the excep- tion of the City Limits of Port St. Joe, worth 813,000 dollars. Tiht s a' mighty little bit. Now we realize that tax assessments are below the sale value of property, but why should they be. Why can't assessments be the same as market value and thenilage lowered to com- pensate. Now you say. .what'. the use of-that. We say that the reason t. for just such instances as the fire control district (using it for an ex- ample). At the present assessment, the district can't produce enough revenue to provide ade- quate services since the village is setby law and the county must abide by that law. There are numerous special local taxes that cannot produce, enough ,money ,,simply because they, have a set millage and the assessment is so low that the money just cIan6t' be raised. A raised assessment wouldn't mean that these special ;r\ ices -.would suddenly burst out with untold wealth, because the millage is set at a maximum amount and any millage under the maximum can be levied. If these figures 4re tie tirnder the present assessment valuation, kve hiink tlhe county should be assessed again and a new rating or what- ever they go by, be set up to take care of the situation. Here we are:.na k in the middle of 1953 and probably using the same tax assess- ments that were established when the county was established. ,Tkrt' O'ndea-V-f6- took at ifr THINK I'$ -WONDERFUL HW H .FRENCH GIVE EVERYONE A- CHANCE TO BE PREMIER Star Classified Ads Bring Quick Results I- ~;hr~.x ~ IL q -0 q CsP~ B5~ .' : ' is th f i h r nam for 0 ,,.

Last year there were two dore seasons-the first two weeks in Oct- ober and the last two weeks in De.- ember--thioughout the intire state. Sportsman in northwest Florida, particular in the areas of Franklin Wakulla and Leon counties, tkd that the same system be used again' this year because they .get an early flight of birds. They added .that most of these birds left by early November. However, Central Florida ihunt- ers protested the. errly season.be- cause they said the doves were inm- mature and 'that it encourages'vio- l'ations by"the killing'of other game before the openiig of the regular season. 'Frank Wilson, dove biologist, made a.repprt on his four years of studying the dove situation in Florida. He said that "hunters were harvesting Bnly:a small number of the dove population.' He recommended that the Com- missioners request a' longer doat shooting eason. a bag limit of tet per day-the daily limit wa.s eight last year. and'he kirged the comhri- ssion t6 continue the dove studies; The dove hunting seasoli is ',et by 'the Federal Agency becanI* ome. loves are migratory birds.

He went so far be~Yid fis' 'own time and place thA t uch :of what he wrote is as applicable' to problems of today as it was almost two thousand years ago. n many ways, much of Paul's 'writing seems to have been writ- ten in. our own age O0 What is more, the writings of Paul seem to reflect in greatness and purity, exactly the same ,"simplicity that is in Christ." . To those who would disparage Paul and say that he is over- rated, it is suggested that they concentrate on the positive, pxrae- tical teachings of the man in re- lation to Christian living. See them as the interpretation of Jesus as the Master of character and conduct. 1 The lesson from Ephesians contains one of the dramatic passages in which Paul describes the fruits of the spirit and the true nature of Christian life. . He draws a picture of the Christian soldier, equipped with the armor of God. He is a stead- fast soldier who is full of cour- age and fortified by prayer. Also, he gives us a picture of the Christian as a member of a group in which each part has its ,functions.- Where all parts are 'iWrkifie together for the glorify- ing of the body. This is an ideal description of society. A goal that men can strive for. *-" But the Christian simplicity of Paul finds its climax in his 'eulogy of love. - The man who wrote these words and 'lived the Gospel -which he preached will be great forever. He. will be great as a man in the story of history. But he will also be great as a Christian in the wider'scope of' God's kingdom itself. Such a man was.

Examples of this increased econ- -omic importance of Florida are given in this week's business review of the State Chamber's research and industrial division. The total in- come of Floridians grew from 1. 19 per cent of the national total in 1940 to 1.64 of national in 19,52. At the same time, cash income of farmers increased from 1.37 per cent to 1.42 per cent, but was slightly under the 1951 proportion. Bank resources in Florida -'were .76% of- national. in 1940, increasing to 1.23 per cent last year. Florida retail sales grew fromaG-.4G per cent to 1.93 per cent, postal receipgtIrom 1.22 per cent to 1.59 per cent and federal internal revenue collections in Florida from .07 per .cent to .93 per cent. Other measures, expressed in vol- ume rather, than value, were electric powr production from .9 per cent to 1.39%, ipasenger car registra- tion from 1,51 per cent to 2.22 per cent and telephones from 1.06 per cent to 1.7/ per cent.

It doesn't take a storehouse of knowledge to keep on the right side of the men who patrol the highways and streets of the state for the mot- orists sake. It's relatively easy for a motorist to observe and obey traffic regul- atory signs along the highway--- know and observe traffic safety ]laws', pleads the commander,'yoi increaseyour chances of a longer life'.

Maige Sec. ly.p. 4-16 TOO LATE TO CLASSIFY BY RUSSELL KAY Listening to a quiz program the other evening I was impressed with the pitiful lack of knowledge dis- played by some of the contestants relative to simple questions that every alert American should be able to answer unhesitatingly. While contestants had no diffi- culty in answering such questions as "Name three members of the pitching staff of the New York Yankees," or "Identify the loca- tion of Madison Square Garden, Shibe Park and Soldier's Field," they were stricken dumb and were still speechless at the bell on such questions as "Name three mem- bers of the Supreme Court of the United States," and "Name the 13 original states." It evidenced the weakness of our educational system in teach- ing the simple principles of Ameri- canism and our failure to do a real selling job for America in our schools and colleges. Young America can promptly identify Barbara Stanwyck but has forgotten, if it ever heard of, Bar- bara Fritchie. W\e know 'more about "Minute Maid" than we do 'Min- ute -Men." The name "Sheridan" registers as "Ann" and not "Phil." The prefix, "Old" seems more im- portant in connection with then name "Taylor" than "Zachary." It is heartening, in the face of this deplorable situation, to find that one of our institutions of higher learning has taken cogni- zance of the situation and has es- tablished a Department of Ameri- can Culture which now offers stu- dents a Major or Minor in the field of "The American Idea." The American Course was inau- gurated in the summer of 1951, with a seminar course on this his- tory of American Culture. By the fall of 1952 the complete course had been organized with 150 stu- dents enrolled. Special Americanism classes in- clude such subjects as The His- tory of American Institutions, The Bible and. Foreign Culture, Ameri- can Literature, Comparative Gov- ernment, Exposing the Fallacy of Communism, History of the Unit- ed States, Christianity in America, American Music, American Art, American Writers, American Cul- ture, and Management and Ameri- can Labor Relations. Florida Southern.College is the first in the nation to establish a course in Americanism. It is cer- tain to spread-to other educational institutions, and a few years from now Southern may point with pride to the fact that here 'began such an important advance in American Education. Florida Southern's plan of help- ing to make a stronger and great- er America by making stronger and better Americans has aroused the interest of many prominent citizens outside of the educational field. These folks recognize that a small independent college needs fund-s to build such a new deparc- ment. In the belief that Southern's leadership will. help encourage other colleges to give more thought to teaching Americanism, an "Americanism in Education Com- mittee" was recently organized under leadership of Samuel I. Fletcher of West Palm Beach to raise funds through contributions to further this worthwhile move- ment. The committee hopes to expand its activities throughout the state with a minimum goal of $100,000 to maintain and enlarge Florida Sou- Germanium is metallic in ap- thern's Department of American pearance, silver gray, and extreme- Culture.
