Forest An attempt was made by an un- known person or persons Sunday night about 11:30 p.m. to fire the woods all the way from Port St. Joe to White City. Only one of the fires, caught up however, across 'the highway from !he Gulf Hardware Warehouse and was promptly extinguished by the local Volunteer Fire Depart- ment. The attempt was made by throw- inm lighted flambous, which had been placed on the highway, which is being resurfaced, over into the grass and brush along the edge of the woods in spots ranging all the way from the railway crossing East of town to White City. A passing motorist reported the flaming pots being in the woods to the local fire department and Charles Wall, assistant chief of the department and W. K. Settle- mire, of the St. Joe Land and De- velopment Company investigated the matter and removed the dan- ger. County Ranger H. A. Hardy sta- ted to The Star that had the fires caught up, untold numbers of Guif County acres would have burned. langer Hardy expressed the opin- ion that due to the dry weather, had the blazes caught up, they prQbably would still be burning. No clues were found as to who might have attempted the arson. Motel Business In Floridq Is Booming The motel business in Florida, one of the fastest growing in the State, represents today an invest- llr-nit of some $246 million. At last 'inl'le in.1953. there were 4,111,i motels 'in Florida, a whopping increase cif,247 per cent in sei en years. Nationally the nun- l oer of motels has increased 150 per cent since 1946, the Florida State Chamber of Commerce sta:- od this Week. This week's business review of '.he State Chambe:'s research and industri, l division places the gr~s income of Florida motels at $87,- 500,000 last year. Approximately $13 million was paid in wages and salaries to employees, not includ- ing owner-operators. Indicating Florida's growing sum- :ner tourism, the number of em- ployees at motels last year showed only a 5 per cent winter-summer variation. Motels with less than three units and trailer parks are not included in these tabulations. Guests of Hunts Mrs. Pat McGuire and daughters Linda, Patricia and Joan were guests of Mr. and Mrs. B. F.

IT'S DELINQUENCY Whether it's caused by juveniles or old- enough-to-know-better-iles it's still delinquency or madness to cause a person to carry on acts such as have been carried on for the past few weeks. Someone has deliberately set out to burn all of the woodlands of Gulf County or a great 'part of it at any rate. Last Thursday the fire department was called out three times to extinguish grass fires out by Goff Town. Everyone of them was caused by somebody deliberately kicking one of the many flambous placed here for warning purposes during road construction, over into the roadside grass. A fire of this nature in this particular location is not too dangerous, except for danger to a few homes. The first time was considered accidental. The next two times were just too much even for "co-incidence". Sunday night, the most dastardly trick ever pulled by youths or grown trash was pulled out on the White City road, which is also under construction. About midnight, when everyone was home in bed, a lonely motorist reported a brush fire across from the Gulf Hardware ware- bouse. On answering the call the fire depart- mrent found that the flambou artist had been at work again. While on the call another motorist stopped at the fire and reported flambous set out in the woods all the way to White City! Upon investigation, four of the burning pots were found set in brushy areas between town and White City. Can you imagine anyone wanting to be so destructive as to want burn the forest, which the whole County depends on for livelihood? If these "incendiary bombs" had gone undiscov- cred for another hour, by now half the County forest would be burned or still burning. Even a sadist can go too far. But the dis- gusting part of the whole matter is that the per- petrators of this plot are probably otherwise so- called "respectable" people. Such an attempt should not go unpunished if the guilty parties a-e ever found. How anyone can be so cruel, destructive and just plain dumb as to pull a trick like this is beyond the imagination of any decent person. THE COURTHOUSE IS TOO SMALL Part of the "Presentations" put out by the past session of the Grand Jury brought to light that the Grand Jury meeting room was too small for that body to meet in without sitting in each other's lap. This brings out the uncomfortable fact that our Courthouse, which was built back when the County was carved from Calhoun, is just not big enough to house the growing County government office needs of this growing county. I Next year the County retires the last of the bonded indebtedness incurred by the building of the courthouse. When that final bond is paid it will mark the freedom of debt of a building that -the County has outgrown. Probably thoughts will then turn to the is- suance of a bond issue to add on to the present courthouse, whose only good construction fea- ture is that a good breeze blows through it at all times. In addition- to adding extra space, the old courthouse will practically have to be rebuilt to make it the first class building it should be. The courtroom is like sitting in an echo cham- ber-you can't understand a thing that is said. The plaster is ruined on practically all the walls, and from appearances of the plaster, the build- ing is settling and leaks.. The only departments with plenty of room are the courtroonr and the rest" rooms. -I concerning the trial of Homer Gof. a correction made concerning the Your paper stated that I was tried false item.

EWIS & SONS GARAGE Highway 98 Phone 6 Port St. Joe, Florida '-- IN EO AL "Sadr o h igh hy' GOIN' PLACES By Col. W. S. Smith, Retired. Mayor of Buckhorn WELLS, MAINE-Leaving out of the Catskill Mountains area last week, we headed directly for North Adams, Mass., home of the Lucius Coody (brother of our. wife) tribe which is slowly converting that area to a pebel state (Lucius being a Florida cracker) mainly through assistance of the stork. After a judiciously short visit there we headed out over the Mohawk Trail, Nova Scotia bound. We hit the Atlantic shore at New-., buryport and drove slowly down High Street between the stately mansions of former sea captains and shipowners, for this old city was a center of fishing, shipbuild- ing, distilling and West Indian trade; in fact, it is told that one "Lord" Timothy Dexter sold 42,000 bed warming pans in the West Indies! Just out of Newbhityp. p t we hit the New Hampshire state line and about 16 miles further on we were in Maine-quick trip through one state, no? Those 16 miles is the entire coast line of this state. 'Seems the state got its name from a John Mason who lived in Hamp- shire, England, and was given a grant in 1629 of "that part of the mainland of New England between the Merrimack and Piscataqua Ri- vers." Just before we left New Hamp- shire we visited Portsmouth, the only seaport in this state, which has had a navy yard ever since the Revolutionary War. It was here that, in 1905, was signed the Treaty of Pprtsmouth which ended the Russo-Japanese War. Strictly speak- in most of the present-day navy yard is not in Portsmouth, but on r carby islands in the Piscataqua River in the town of Kittery, Maine. And now that we've mentioned Kittery, we might add that from this port to West Quoddy Head, the most easterly point in the U. S., is 220 miles in a straight line, but the high-water line of. the Maine coast, including an estimated 4000 islands is 3,478 miles. The food and the weather up here are both good. The nights in Mas- sachusetts were around 53 degrees and*in this section, the lows have been around 48 and 49. We've been sleeping under one or two blan- kets all the time.

Western Auto Associate Store PORT. ST. JOE, FLORIDA J. A. Whitfield, one of the leading local producers, is also a director of the Florida Honey Packers Assn. H-e said the Gulf County beemen had harvested "a good average op" of tupelo this year, produc- ing approximately between 300,000 and 325.000 pounds. Whitfield esti- -mated the entire tupelo crop for 1954 at approximately one-half mnil- lion pounds. Whitfield said the tupelo crop, just as all other farming, is de- pendenr on many factors to deter- mine whether it will succeed. '"Sometimes a heavy shower of rain during the height of the tupelo "flow" can dislodge millions of opcn blossoms, causing untold dam- age to the crop," he added. Tupelo beemen go to a lot more trouble and expense after their -priize crop than do most other Flor- ida honey producers. Because of the desolate locality of the tupelo gum swamps, there is hardly any means of transportation into this country except by river barges. And after the tupelo season is over, there is no other blossom crop in the swamp sufficient to support the Lees. Therefore, after the tupelo "farm- er' robs his hives, he must do one of two things. He may either under- take the expensive task of feeding his charges, or barging them out to the mainland and then hauling them to new forage. Most of the owners transport their bees to high- er regions of this state or to Geor- gia for the late summer blossom cops. Most farmers welcome the bee- man and readily give him a "lo- cation" because they Have come to realizee the value of the honeybee, especially in pasture development programs. For instance, good pas- tures depend on legumes such as clovers for supplemental vegeta- tion. If the clover crop is expected to re-seed itself adequately, profuse pollenation must take place. A sin- gle acre of White Dutch clover in bloom has been estimated to con- tain about 800,000 blossoms. It would appear obvious that here is a job for nature's little pollen car- riers. Dr. V. E. Stewart of the state chemist's office in Tallahassee, in charge of the 'certification program, .aid some 15 or.20 tupelo producers have, had their 1954 crop sampled and bested for purity. Working with Dr. Stewart in the laboratory has been Dr. Alice Baker and F. N. McMillan. testing individual sam- plings. According to McMillan,.the sam- ple is tested for tupelo content as based on tupelo pollen present, amount of moisture, presence or absence of granulation or fermen- cation and other chemical tests such as for excesses of sucrose, which is a technical name for commer- cial sugar. the chemist said. Dr. Stewart said there is still much work left before perfecting scime standard method of cer- tifying the tupelo samplings.
