THE STA-R Published In Port St. Joe But Devoted To the Con- tinued Development of Gulf County ---- ---, --- THE PORT ST.. JOE Progressive Community With a Modern, Progressive I Weekly Newspaper ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Port St. Joe -The Outlet Port for the Apalachicola-Chattahoochee Valley" VOLUME XVIII Single Copy 8c PORT ST. JOE, FLORLDA THURSDAY, MAY 19, 1955 $3.00 Per Year NUMBER 42 I I I.I..........' III ETAOIN SHRDLU by WES4LEY R. RAMSEY Can you imagine it raining in Port St. Joe after so long a time? We had a paper salesman call yesterday who said that up in North Florida and South Geor- gia, people are out walking in the rain grinning like monkeys. We're not a farmer, but we were right glad to see it. Our friend, Jiggs Zingarelli in Apalachicola has quit. He has ceased publication of the Frank- lin Press. When he started the paper, anyone could plainly see he was an extraordinary news- paperman. Even unorthodox. He proved it by quitting without a bankrupt sale forcing him to. Jiggs' paper was well read and we hate to see him go. We do envy him the free loafing time he will have now. We have a little piece here by Wallace Findlay up in the city of Blountstown plucked out of his column, "Musings", and we quote: "Money is generally fascinat- ing, but if I wanted to talk about it, I would have to bring in some of my friends who have it, and they might resent it. "You know how it is with mon- ey. No one wants to admit hav- ing any, even if he lives in a twenty thousand dollar home, has a new car, and takes two weeks off each year. It's a strange thing. I'll bet I would be differ- ent, if I could just qualify." Don't you know JUST what he means? Boy Scout Circus Set for Tomorrow Tomorrow night the annual per- ball Park, beginning at 8:00 p.m. formance of the Boy Scout Circus sharp. will be held in the Centennial Base- Costin Lists The Week's Activities County Representative, Cecil G. Costin, Jr., reports that the House passed a bill Tuesday setting up a 3-day non-resident fishing license for the State of Florida at the cost ci $1.00. Previously out-of-state persons must pay $3.00 for a license that was good for one to 14 days. Costin also reported that the House has passed the Lieutenant Governor Bill. Costin said that he predicted that the bill would have a hard fight to get through the Senate. "The reason for this", says Costin is that the President of the Senate is now delegated to sit in the Governor's seat should the Gov- ernor die in office". The proposed Lt.-Governor bill would require that, a candidate for Lt.-Governor have his name linked with that of the Gubernatorial candidate that he wished to serve with, printed on the ballot. The Lt.-Governor would also be delegated some of the responsi- bilities of the Governor at the des- cretion of the Governor.

Last year the city called in the last seven bonds on the is- ,.-. sue, thereby saving the City a con- ., siderable amount of money in in- ., : terest. This year the Commission s attempting io take up only five. These bonds taken up are in addi- tion to the ones that will regularly come due at this time. n The City is able to take up the i extra bonds, thereby saving inter- tcst since the Utmilities Tax has been pledged to this fund and can be spent for nothing else.

Al .... -f 1- 1. .. 1 ' sponsor the clubs and give the city a sufficient amount of teams to re- ceive a Little League franchise. The local league will consist of teams sponsored by the St. Jde Paper Company, The Kiwanis Club, St. Joe Motor Company and the Rotary Club. Each sponsor had to put up $200.00 to enter the Little League set-up, purchase uniforms and equip the team. The sponsors will also carry insurance on each of the boys on all the teams. According to Little League rules, each team will be composed of 15 players and all players must be be- tween the ages of eight and 12 in- clusive. Any local boy of these ages is eligible to play. Williams states that he expects to have more than the needed 60 boys tuin out for the teams. He regrets that the set-up can handle only one league, which is compris- ed of four teams in this, the leagues' first year of operation, but he states that plans are already going ahead to form another four-team league next year. "In fact," says Williams, "We already have several sponsors to finance these teams next year". Little League officials are now hunting a field to play on. Accord- ing to Little League regulations they must have their own field. The Little League field is just slightly smaller than a softball diamond and must have a fence so that the little fellows can knock honle-runs. The Little Leaguers approached the City Commission in this matter and found that the City would go along with them for obtaining and con- structing a diamond. The first practice session of the Little League teams has been set for tomorrow afternoon at 5:00 p.m. The boys will meet at the ball park and go to the Higlh School playground for their practice ses- sion. The first Little League game has been tentatively set for June 10. Managers and assistants ha'e teoa named as follows: Coy W;l- liams, Frank Smith, Jimmy C).-. W. 0.

Softball Contests Now In Progress The interest in softball has been lagging somewhat this year because of the poor playing fields, but the tournament which started May 10 seems to have put new spark into the teams. In the boys tournament four games have been played. The first game was between 11 and 10-A. The 11th grade won this game. The 11th grade captains are Jimmy Marlow, John Pope and Owen Pres- nell. 10-A's captain is Travis Jones. Srunnir 'with di 6ossbe4 ON FROM j 13 l'th Conrnueo i, hop- -- r, hc i h sli. l.
