Attempt Made To

Burn Large Tract

Of Gulf Co. 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.

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.

"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. How's the tem-
perature in St. Joe? The seafood
is excellent and we have been din-
ing sumptuously on fresh salmon
an dswordfish steaks, fried clams
(delicious!),.- scallops and lobsters
-haven't Yet found any alewives
but are still looking.
The further north we get the
poorer become the beds. Here at
Wells. Maine, the mattress was so
swaybacked when it took our com-
oined weights (Myrtice sez ndver
mind quoting figures) that it al-
most touched the floor. Couldn't
sleep on our stomach, as our foot
almost touched the back of our
head, s had to sleep almost jack-
knifed Haven't yet unbent our
spine.
Thirty now, have to get up early
to hit Portland early and avoid
the' heavy traffic.

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. How-

It's costing you money now!

Each day, the car you now drive drops in value. It will never
be worth more toward a new Ford than it is this minute.
And with Ford, you'll get the car that depreciates less ...
the'car that holds onto its value longer.


Tt may cost you-money later!

Unless you own a recent model Ford, or an expensive ear,
chances are that it will be made obsolete by a new model.
But, in the low-price field, Ford is the only V-8 powered
car .the only car with Ball-Joint Front Suspension .. .
the only m'odern-styled car. These advanced features mean
that the '54 Ford will still be an up-to-date car with
good trade-in value for the future.

For example, the eager action of Ford's brn.u. new 130-h.p.
