On his trip back toward town Kelley saw the boys, walking away from the corner of the highway and Kenney's Mill Intersection and recognized them as boys that he was keeping an eye. out for. ,Kelley proceeded toward town and before .he got halfway to first street hIe noticed a glow back be- hind Lewis's Garaig'. He stopped and saw that it was a fire. He then raced for town and reported the fire and then raced back to- ward the scene of the fire. Hie found the boys hotfooting it toward town and picked them up under 'suspicion of setting the fire to cause distraction in order to break into someplace in town, as they had a reputation of doing such .hings. Upon questioning after the fire hiad been extinguished the boys ad- mitted robberies in several sur- rounding towns and several at- tempts to break in here in Port St. Joe. The boys denied setting the fire to cause diversion on the part of the police department but they were booked with suspicion of the action.

BOMB NEWS SOUNDS SCARY BUT DON'T GET EXCITED If news over the week end about the deve.l- opment of weapons of destruction gives an accurate summary o, the situation, the .world is really making "progress . It means that our gre0 lab oratorns of science are producing just about anything and everything the political leadership of the Worldl desires, but making absolutely no contribution toward giving mankind the one thing that is most needed-the will and the way to 0 ive to- gether in peace and harmony, and enjoy the marvelous gifts of the Almighty. Within less than a century we have moved in the manufacture of weapons to kill each other from.the simple cannon and muzzle-load- ing rifle to the atomic and hydrogen bombs which are powerful enough to destroy everything within an area covering 100 miles in every di- rection from the place where they are exploded. (So says Senator Wiley of Wisconsin about the newest U.S. bomb). As to Premier Malenkov's claim that Rus- sia has solved the mysteries of hydrogen-bomb production, and thus overcome the monopoly formerly possessed by the United States, he may be telling the truth. Certainly there has been no lack of help in that direction from Communist agents operating in secret places in England and the United States. These spies have kept a steady flow of secrets about our scientific dis- coveries and activities going to Russia. Experience has taught, however, that any one of the top men in the Kremlin hierarchy could give Baron Munchausen a big handicap, and still make him look like a beginner in weav- ing stories about impossible achievements. This holds good for mdst of the Russians with reference to their laboratory activities. The feature of Malenkov's statementt to his cheering henchmen is that he admitted that the United States once had a monopoly on the hy- drogen bomb. He would have been more in character if he had mn.de sarcastic reference to the U.nited States getting a start on the H-bomb ,wich PRussian' perfected and had been pro- ducing for years. His statement cor.tains nothing, therefore, to get excited about. Keep in mind that MNalen- kov and lis crowd are on the spot, and they are trying to regain strength lost since Stalin's death.

RAMSEY Since we have heard the first person cast *a critical eye in our direction and say, 'Hey bud. aintclha losing a little weight?" We will ad- mit we have been on a di4e. Dr. Ward said we'weighed too much and put us on a lean meat and rabbit food diet the other week to trim off a little excess "muscle". It is agony too. Imagine getting up in the morning and breakfasting on a 'half a glass.of fruit juice or skimmed milk, 3. prunes or a bowl of cereal (with no sugar) and all the ice water you want. You ever try eating cereal without even a teeny spoonful of sugar? If you had to eat it that way General Mills would go broke. Then comes lunch and a lettuce leaf, a spoonful of cottage cheese and a bowl of fla- vored water called soup. No bread, no potatoes, we are indeed sad. Now supper is more like living. A piece of broiled -steak or roast, and plenty of green vegetables. No beans or peas, though. Still no bread and a glass of tea with sach- rin- taking the place of sugar. We will admit that Ithis is shaving the pounds off, though. Last Saturday evening, we sorta forgot that old diet for about an hour. We journeyed up to Wewa- hitchka about four o'clock last Sat- urday afternoon to join in the par- ade celebrating the arrival of their new fire truck there, being a fire- man in good standing with the lo- cal department, Those Wewashitchkans put on a parade to welcome that new truck that wouldn't wait. The 'high school band was on a truck playing just as loud as they could, combination fire and police chief Jack Connell led the parade in his car with si- ren wailing, followed by the fire- truck with its siren wailing. There were at leapt a half dozen fire chiefs from neighboring .towns in the parade and some had sirens on their cars and they were also kicking up a fuss. That parade was long and noisy and like any first rate parade, it ended in a downpour of rain. The weatherman was kind in one respect however, he waited until the parade was ending to make it rain. After the rain, the factory repre- sentatives from the company which manufactured the truck put on an exhibition. And as they wanted the exhibition to come off without a h itch, it didn't. They had a length of brand new hiosee sieuii up a knot like a lighlte' kn6t, which we ix-sl-t g-i.ne was -ery elmbar-rasing to me. The p'nlump on, the t uck unprin:1ed1 itself- a few times which must have been embarrasiag also. but out- side of that it was an imnuress-v demonstration. Wewahitehka has a nice fire truck and you could tell Saiturday that they were proud of it. Every kid at the demonstration got a ride around the block on top of the truck. After the parade and demonstra- tion (those Wewa people put on a feed with St. Joe mullet and Wewa hushpup'pies. We usually don't care especially for mullet but brother, those were good. It may have been this starvation.diet we are on had us a little extra hungry, but bro- ther, we went back for seconds on 'that grub. We know of at least three other mlllet 'eaters on the lo- cal fire department too. CiAy Clerk Woodrow Henderson ate at least a half dozen mullet and fire c:-ief' Paul Player didn't exactly play around.' Every time we would ccnme up for air from our plate, we'd see both Player and Henderson c ro- ing back with another plateful of that "St. Joe Chicken". Heiiry Geddie, also representing .the Iccal department, just never did leave the 'tubs containing the food. Said "What's the use messing up a ipiate, when I can just stand here". It can 'go down on the record that the St.. Joe firemen umade pigs of themselves at ,the Wewahitc'lka fire department fish fry. We understand Harland Prid- geon had charge of preparing the 275 pounds of fish. with all of-he trimmings, and he did a good job. We are now anxiously awaiting the day when Wewahitchka adds fire truck number two to their de- partment. ------------- Spiders are not intects, but arachnids, having four 'pairs of legs and bodies divided into, two parts.

THURSDAY, AUGUST 13, 1953 THE STAR. PORT ST. JOE. GULF COUNTY. FLO1410A PAGE FOUR T, I P FIVE -I STARDUST and MOONSHINE By Col. W. S. Smith, Retired. Mayor of Buckhorn Since quite a few of our fans of past years have asked us what has happel-ed to Stardust and Moon- shine, we decided we'd have to get out 'an occasional column in order to keep -them happy, despite the :fact that it might interfere with our -fishing, loafing, reading and occasional gardening activi- ties . - While building Stardust Lodge, we built 'a small nook at the end of the'carpont which we intended to eventually make into a sunporch . .,. Now Myrtice has hatched the idea of combining the carport and ,the proposed sunporcb into one .sunporoh the length of the house and adding on a iew carport (no 'telNing how far this could go, with .one sunporch and, carport being added ad infinitum). "Impossible," sez I, settling my- Self more comfortably on the couch, h\ h my pipe in my hand and The F%',~r a,.r,, my knee (one knee, of course) .. I imagine I looked irritatingly smag and self-conscious since I had just made out checks .tor the month's bills, and an income installment check for Uncle Sam. "We've got too many incidental ex- penses and our regular monthly bills to take care of, not to men- tion Itthat contemplated trip to Massachusetts and that washing machine you want." "Yes," ishe retorts, "but you've been talking about going back on a diet .since you've again hit 186, THURSDAY, AUGubi 16, 0500 so see 'all I could cut down on the -grocery bill .. and especially since we've been catching so many fish." "Yeah," sez I, "you could cut down on, food so much to get that sunporch that it would be injur- ious to our health." "Oh, yeah?" she comes back, "but I can eat 'economy meals' without swelling up in the middle like you do." "I'm sorry", I retorted, adjusting The Star .a bit t cover up my grow- ing paunch, 'but we must face the fact that we're eating beyond our budget-and trying to escape real- ity only brings trouble." "Well," she says, "I can make money selling Christmas cards." "In July?" I smilingly retorted. "Well, theli, I can cook pies and cakes and sell them," she said. "You know I'm -the best cook in Gulf county, and you've said many a time thhat my pieg ought to bring a couple of dollars each, and that my cakes are'out of iths .world." So I have no retort no resort she is the best cook in Gulf county in all Florida, when you come right down to it .. So, what do you think? Yes it looks as though we'll have the new living room-sunporch and the new carport shortly. A man just kain't win! ------+------7 ENTERTAIN WITH BUFFET Mr. and Mrs. J.

Pancakes made with self-rising flour are easy to make, for the baking powder and salt are scien- tifically mixed into the flour by the miller. And they are good to eat and good for you. In addition to many vitamins, enriched self-rising flour contains bone and teeth-build- ing calcium, which is particularly needed by growing children.

You get more power on less gqs That's because Chevrolet's two great valve-in-head engines are high-compression engines. In Powerglide* models, you get the most powerful engine in Chevrolet's field the new 115'-h.p. "Blue-Flame." Gear- shift models offer the advanced 108-h.p "Thrift-King" engine.

But conditions remaining as they are- the report indicates that the in- according to a recent report by trusion problem is also prevalent the Division of Water Survey and in the areas of Escambia, Bay, Research, State Board of Conser- Levy, olusia and St. Johns Coun- ovation. The division, (headed by Col. A. G. Matthews, has for many years pursued the pressing problem of salt water intrusion in Florida. The 1953 bulletin was compiled by University of Florida chemistry professors A. P. Black, Eugene Brown and J. M. Pearce. Provide Yardstick Col. Matthews, having spent a number of years in Key West dur- ing 'this southernmost Florida city's pr4iacicqieduct era, said he was quite sensitive toward the business of salt in ithe state's 'fresh water supply. In submitting the bulletin to the board, Col. Matthews pointed out that its. chief purpose was to pro- vide a yardstick for measuring future encroachment of salt waiter into the ground water supplies of areas adjacent to 'the Florida coastline. He said, "The growth of munici- pa!iie.s, the expanding industrial Porus 'Formations The Black-Pearce-Brown report, using the G0hyben-Heizberg princi- ple, describes the theoretical basis for salt water intrusion in highly .technical terms. However, it can be expressed fundamentally as fol- lows:. Salt water infiltration results in coastal lowland regions where the ground water supply is separated from the sea by porous formations. The sea water, being heavier than fresh, has a tendency to displace fresh water when the two come in contact with one another. Infiltration varies near coastal regions with the density or weight of sea water. Sea water becomes diluted to some extent around the coast because of ,tihe fresh subter- ranean springs and rivers, and streams'. Salt water may be depressed, ,that is, kept below .the fresh ground water supply to depths of approx- imantely 40 feet below sea level for " each foot of, fresh water lying..; 'above the level of the sea. The bulletin reports tha it t may be safely assumed that in. coastal areas where the fresh water head is maintained at a minimum height, for example four feet above. sea level, the maximum height to which salt water will rise in the underlying formations will. be' 160 feet below average -sea level. By Two Routes This, so-called "piezometric" sur- face is higher in inland areas than around. the coast and salt water oocurs at such sites only at great depths. At coastal levels, sea wa ter may invade the fresh both' lat- erally (from inlets) and vertically (from the underlyh~g sea) when the fresh water head is sufficiently lowered. Among those factors. listed as be- ing responsible for salt water in- trusion' are: increased demands by municipalities, agriculture and in- dustry. In addition to these, ex- cessive drainage, 'lack of protec- 'tion against tidewaters in. bayous: and canals, improper location, .of wells, variable rainfall without suf- ficient surface ,storage for droughts, and uncapped wells also play high- ly important roles in depleting the fresh water supply. The 1953 report indicates that steps are being taken to provide systematic planning ,and scientific development 'of Florida's fresh wa- ter supply for future years.
