Contact Mothers Ready
"When the residents of Port St.
Joe turn oh their porch lamps or,
put a light in a front window to-
morrow night .to tell us that they
want to give to the March of Dimes,
there will be a 'contact mother' on
her way to'accept donations. All of
our -workers know the urgency of
the polio fund appeal if we are to
protect our children from this dread
disease."
Hopes for Vaccine
Mrs. Norton pointed out that re-
search to produce a safe and ef-
fective vaccine against 1polio has
reached a point where we can at
least hope for an eventual victory
over infantile paralysis.
"We cannot afford to fail now
at this crucial. stage of research
progress to provide funds to con-
tinue t he scientific campaign
against the disease," she sadi.


Student Council

Convention Postponed


'::The 'Student Council Convention,
originally scheduled for January
S 12: and 13, is going to be pogponed
i until a later date. A tentative Idate
.is set for April 24 and 25.
All activities for which students
from severalschools will be excus-
ed must be registered on the Flor-
ida Activities Calendar. This comes
under the department of Lafayette
coun- Galden who is.executive secretary
from of Florida Activities Association.
iected All activities should be sent in be-
dicial fore March so that the Calendar
ved a Commttee can list them. Because.
rough the convention was not registered
'-el4.-Q amtih ,after. that.-deadline, another
orney date must be given for the conven-
tion.


construct a new soft-water system
for the city of 'Port St. Joe.
The Commission had recently se-
cured an engineer's recommenda-
tions on the type construction need-
ed to supply the city with adequate
supply of soft water to replace the
old system which produced only
hard sulfurous 'water.
The Commission deliberated on
the recommendations and cut the
original estimate made by the firm
down a considerable amount.
Included in -the bond issue will
be funds to pay off a $159,320.00
debt made by the city when the
original water and sewage system
was installed in 1538.
Repairs To Dispoeal Plant
One of the projects to be car-
ried out in the proposed construc-
tion- will be the renovation of the
city disposal plant y'hich is in need
of several minor repair jobs and to
make it efficient at a top peak.
The new water system will con-
sist of a pumping station on the
banks of the fresh-water canal op-
erated by the St. Joe Paper Com-
pany carrying water from the Chi-
pola River to the local plant. The
City has made I~irc ..ii.'.- to buy
water from the pap'r..'" .i.any and
pump it into the city's mains. The

T Te. City plans to .iii 1 .c
lines to the-new High School build-
ings and water and sewage to the
museum which will be constructed
in the near future at the Monument
Park.
All of the new construction will
amount -to approximately $156,000
of the $315,320.00 bond issue.
Payments Over 20 Year Period
The bond issue will cost the city
approximately $25,000.00 per year
with interest to be around four per-
cent. The Commission plans to re-
tire the bonds with revenue from
the water, system and by allowing
40 percent of the utility tax to the
fund. This portion of the utility
tax is now allowed into another
portion of the city budget for the
year of 1954 but when the budget
is redrawn, the 40 percent will be
earmarked for the purpose of re-
tiring the water and sewage bonds.
The indebtedness will last over a
period of 20 years. The Commis-
sion states that they can now see
a guaranteed supply of money to
retire the bonds and foresee a
growth in the two sources of re-
venue earmarked for retiring the
bonds so they are reasonably cer-
tain of meeting all of the payments
on time and possibly ahead of time
in the near' future.

CAMPUS INN
News of Port St. Joe High School
By MARTHA COSTIN

Thought For The Week
An old man going a lone highway
Came at evening, cold and gray,
To a chasm deep and wide.
The old man crossed in the twi-
light dim,
The sullen stream held no fear
for him;
But he turned when he crossed on
the other side,
And built a birdge to span the tide.
"Old man" said a fellow pilgrim
near,
"You are wasting your strength in
building here,
Your journey will end with the
passing day;
You never again will pass this way:
You've crossed this chasm deep
and wide, '


Why build you this bridge at eve-
ning tide?"
The builder lifted his old grey
head
"Good friend, in the path I've
come." he said
"There followeth after me today
A youth whose feet must pass this
way;
This chasm which was naught to
me,
To this fair youth may a pitfall be;
He, too, must cross in twilight dim
Good friend I'm building this bridge
for him."

.i The spoken word is given scant attention; the printed word

the printed word thoroughly convinces. The spoken word
is lost; the printed word remains.

AND IN THIS CORNER .
The editor of The Star is extremely happy
to observe the high caliber of the candidates
-who have-announced to date for the local politi-
cal offices. It has been our fond hope for the
past few months since the smell of an election
began to permeate the air that men ,of high
moral standing would announce for office. 'We
are writing this not to suggest that.the men we
have in office now are not desirable but we do
bold with the opinion that some of the officials
are undesirable; possibly not as individuals but,
some candidates just didn't have what it takes
to hold a public office.
We sincerely hope that any other candidates
whoever they might be that might come out are
of the caliber as those announced to date. As
this is being written only three candidates have
avowed their intention to run in the coming.
elections. In the county commission race we
have R. F. "Fritz" Scheffer, Sr., offering for
the position being vacated by B. E. Kenney, Jr.,
who is ineligible to run again for his district due
to the fact that he has moved out of the district.
In Wewahitchka, E. C. Harden,' Sr., has come
out for the position being vacated by J. S. Dan-
iels, who as far as we know this early has not
offered yet for re-election. Can you think of
a better brace of candidates?
In the State Representative race Cecil G.
Costin, Jr., is offering for re-election on his en-
viable record that he made in the last session
of the legislature. At present, he has no oppo-
sition, but he may have before the week is out.
So you see, Mr. and Mrs. Voter, you have
a chance to elect some first-class men to public
office, that isif you have re-registered to vote.
The registration books leave Port St. Joe
February 1 and-after that date it will be neces-:
sary to go to Wewahitchka to re-register, which

HEADS UP!
This is going to be a good year for eclipses
-according to scientists of the General Electric
-Company. Following that total eclipse of the
moon on anuary 18th, enthusiastic eclipse-watch-
ers will be happy to know the year will provide
four more!
If you happen to be in a hundred-mile-wide
path starting in northeastern Nebraska and ex-
tending northeasterly across Minnesota, Wiscon-
sin, Michigan, across Ontario and Quebec to
the coast of Labrador, and even on a ship in
the right spot on the Atlantic, you will see a
total, eclipse of the sun on June 30th. In the
central and' eastern part:of the country, you will
have to be satisfied with a partial eclipse. On
July 15th the moon, after its complete blackout
in January, will give a partial eclipse as an en-
core., The sun will put on two more perform-
ances during the year,, but you'll have to ar-
range to go to South America for a good look.
These will not be total, however, so maybe you
We might. also mention that there was a
-partial eclipse of the income tax this year.

"We must have the courage to stand against
undue governmental paternalism and the cow-
ardly cry that 'the world owes me a living'. No-
body owes us anything for crops we do not
grow, goods we do not produce, or work we do
not do." Secretary of Agriculture Benson

"If your morals make you dreary, depend
upon it they are wrong. I don't say 'give them
up" for they may be all you have; but conceal
them Ifke a vise, lest they should spoil the lives
of better and simpler people."

It may be a couple of weeks or
so before the West Coast of Flor-
ida catches up with the East Coast
in development, but I'm here to
tell you that the area from Tampa
South to Naples is moving at a full
gallop.
Almost anywhere you go along
the coast you'll see bulldozers clear.
ing land, ditch diggers throwing up
dirt, graders working on new roads
and your ears will ring with the
song of the hammer and the saw.
Tampa, 'St. Petersburg and the
Gulf Beaches have all run together
until you can't tell where one
leaves off and the other begins.
The Sarasota-Venice area extends
Irom hither to yon. with folks buy-
ing property like crazy.
.Mail order lots are back at $10
down and $10 when we catch you.
A new development is South Ven-
ice, located between U. S. 41 and
the Gulf, where lots are being sold
at $200 each, but the buyer must
take two and the promoters are ad-
vertising in metropolitan newspap-
ers throughout the country and, I
understand, doing a land office
business. It has all the earmarks
of the famous boom days.
Mail order customers, however.
are urged to visit the property and
see for themselves and if they are
not entirely satisfied with their in-
vestment they can get their money
back, .provided they make the in-
-spection within 90, days. Restric-
tions call for the construction of
homes in a price range of from
$6,000 to $13,000.
Naples lays claim to the title of
the fastest growing community in
Florida and I'm inclined to go
along for it certainly is, stepping
out. You can buy good lots and
business property in the town, but
you had better lave a sizable
chunk of high-powered folding
money.
If you want tQa .ove eight miles
north of the town you will find an

you can buy, build and wait for the
