SETAOIN SHRDL

by WESLEY R. RAMSEY

It would look as if someone
spoke too soon on the proposed
route of the new road between
here and Apalachicola.
When it was rumored that tfhe
road would enter State Highviay
71 just this side of the new r;ail-
road crossing people of the town
bucked it because it was eared
that the road would just keep
right on going straight for Pan-
ama City bypassing Port St. Joe.
Maybe then it was an argument,
but looking afi the country that
such a road would have crossed,
we are inclined to believe that
it was lust pessimistic thinking.
A survey across this route would
see the road having to cross a
raithlad freight yard recently
constructed byAthe AN Railroad
and strug out all over creation
for the expressed purpose of
getting away from congested
highways to allow for more free-
dom in switching and maneuver-
ing cars. Then a bridge would
have to be constructed to cross
the new canal recently construct-
ed by the Paper Company and
then another draw bridge across
the intracoastal canal. All this,
not-to mention the extra miles
of road to be built since it would
have-to tie in beyond Highland
View to give any freedom from
residential area for traffic. No
sir, it just doesn't seem feasible
that the road could bypass Port
St. Joe. The cost would be just
too great when a perfectly good
existing highway stands and an
overpass at the AN tracks out
on Highway 98 it also in the
budget for this year. All very
confusing isn't it.

Did you know we wrote like
a college boy? We didn't eith-
er. But Miss Ruth Peeling, who
herself has been. to college, says
that we do. Miss Peeling made
a survey of weekly newspapers
in the State of Florida and con-
ducted what she termed "an in-
tensive study of editorial com-
position and subjects". Miss
Peeling said that our editorials
were Written on the college
level even though the editor has
only set foot on a college cam-
pus once in his lifetime-and that
was onee timeat the Florida
State- v-L.Sb.'i-hb bacek iin 14451
'hen wye trespassed on their
property for a few minutes to
watch a few goldfish swim in a
pool. Miss Peeling goes on to
say that our editorials are
"mildly interesting" and was
good enough to give us the, high-
est grade in this category. She
also stated that we wrote main-
ly about civic matters.
Of course we write mainly
about civic matters. 7This- news-
paper serves fiainly the eo-p le
of Gulf County and they are in-
terested specifically about news
cMncerning Gulf County. The
papers going out of Gulf Coun-
ty are to people who ate also
interested in receiving The
Star to read the news "back
home" Other news they can see
in daily papers. We thank Miss
Peeling for her diagnosis of our
editorial writing-now if shc
would just tell us if this is bad
or good and what should we do
about it, we would do with it
just what we did with the ori-
ginal bulletin-look it over and
then stash it away in file 13.

THEY WEREN'T ACCIDENTS
During the past week end the local fire de-'
partment was pestered with several grass fires.
They were not accidental grass fires. Thurs-
day afternoon, eight attempts were made to set
fires- on Long Avenue from Sixteenth Street to
the high school building and over by the cen-
tennial building. Foibr of these attempts took
hold and kept the department very busy for
about three hours. Were it not for the Florida
Forest Service coming to the assistance of the
local department with a plow to make a fire
break the damage stood a good'chance of run-
ning up into money.
Homes along Sixteenth Street and up to Gar-
rison Avenue were definitely in danger, both
from flying sparks and by the fact that the fire
might not be contained. Then over by the
Centennial Building a fire was set that end4n-
gered the Municipal HOspital.
The woods are very dry and these thought-
less assassins could very easily have done quite
a few people out of a home, not to mention the
possible loss of life.
We don't know if these people got a thrill

Fords New Ball-Jloint Suspension gives ymou th


Newest Ride on the Road


.?-:~ -


.. .


This revolutionary new Ford front suspension

soaks up road shock before it reaches'youl

Makes all riding and handling easier!


Seals out dirt. You can forget road splash because
dirt and water can't get into the ball joints in Ford's new
front suspension. Each of the four joints is effectively
sealed by a unique rubber-and-metal shield. This means
that contact surfaces of each ball and socket remain
clean-wear is kept to a minimum.
Keeps that new-car feel. You'll enjoy Ford's new-
car feel much, longer because ball joints are spring-
loaded to compensate automatically for any wear, Front
wheels hold alignment far longer than with conventional
systems. Ball joints can't stick or bind. Steering remains
consistently easy.


T-IE "OLD" ROADS won't seem the same with Ford's new
Ball-Joint Suspension "paving" the way for you. You'll
enjoy a softer, more level ride because Ford's new system
allows greater shock absorbing movement of the front
wheels. Handling is far better, too. That's because con-
ventional kingpins have been i .placed b1h simple, sealed
ball joints that won't stick or hind. No other car in Ford's
field can equal Ford's ride-because no other has Ball-
Joint Suspension.

Agile new performance, too, is yours in a '54 Ford
.. whether you choose Ford's new 130-h.p. Y-block V-8
or 115-h.p. I-block Six. And no matter which of Ford's
28 new models you choose \out enjoy recognized style
leadership--with clean, modern lines sparkling new
colors and harmonizing upholstery fabrics and trim.

Eliminates 12 wear points. Ford's Ball-Joint Front
Suspension eliminates 12 of 16 points of wear found in
conventional systems. Rubber-bushed supports at inner
ends of suspension control arms reduce the number of
wear points and insulate chassis from road noises.

stand in reducing needless wild-

Acting Governor Johns gave

pointing out that 58 p.er cent of
the unlawful fires were set inten-

felony penally for such violation.
The letter further revealed that
rural property, soil. and wildlife
are endangered by forest fires;
and highway accidents result from
the smoke, while the hundreds of
thousands who depend directly up-
on the forests for their, living are
'lso affected. He called up)on state
attorneys, sheriffs, county judges, |

serious crime it is.
