THE 4K STAR Published In Port St. Joe But Devoted To the Con- tinued Development of Gulf County THE STAR "Port St. Joe The Outlet Port for the Apalachicola-Chattahoochee Valley" PORT ST. JOE k Progressive Community With a Modern, Progressive Weekly Newspaper VOLUME XVIII Single Copy 8c PORT ST. JOE, FLORIDA THURSDAY, MAY 26, 1955 $3.00 Per Year ETAON SHRDLU by WESLEY R. RAMSEY Everytime we come up with a little article about what the County is going to do in their Salk Vaccine program the na- tional scope of the vaccination program always changes on Wednesday night just as we are putting the paper into the mail sack. We read a piece the other day that stated that those children that had contracted polio after being vaccinated were far less than the 1 per cent that the vac- cine was supposed to lack from being 100 per cent effective, ac- cording to the number vaccinat- ed. Of course you have heard that old saying, "You're as young as you feel". Cap'n Bob Bellows must be feeling pretty young these days. We saw him sporting around in son Bobby's MG sport car the other day as big as you 1.1aa o. It looks like Gulf County is going to grow what with the em- ng a0aexion of Mexico Beach to our borders. This will be a big factor in advertising Gulf county as the place to go for that summer vacation what with a bigger stretch of some of Florida's best beach property and our already famous fresh water fishing lakes and streams. Your editor is like every other human. He likes to see people believe like he does. Take for instance Congressman Bob Sikes. He along with your editor be- lives that for these past years that the bulk of the money that our government insisted on send- ing abroad should be going to our neighbor South America and practicing that old saying that "Charity begins at home". But we believe that "charity" spent south of the border would be in more reality the "loan" that is be- ing sent abroad. A loan is paid back someday: S Now Sikes comes along and takes another strike at the world today. In Wednesday's paper he declares that Russia lured us into this position of supporting the world to get our bank ac- count in a favorable condition (for them) to wage a world economic warfare. Sikes says that Russia is girding herself and her slave labor to flood the mar- ket with cheap goods that our nation now manufactures and sells abroad. Without a world market our economic situation would be sad -to say the least. Something is going to have to be done about the tarrif sit- uation to remedy this predica- ment before it happens. Far- mers have now stacked up loads of products because of the lack of a world market and the same can happen to our manufactur- ing giant and then it would be back to the bread line. Rev. and Mrs. Luther Carden and son, Byron of Livingston, Tenn. have been the guests of Rev. Car- den's parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. I. Garden. They left Monday for Fort Lauderdale and Tallahassee where they will visit with Mrs. Carden's mother and slater. They will return to St. Joe before returning to their home in Livingston.

A bill to slice the Mexico Beach area from Bay County and add it to Gulf was introduced in the Students Receive House by Rep. Cecil Costin of Gulf County. The measure was immediately sent to the County and Municipal government Committee of which Costin is chairman and was expect- ed to come out of that committee late yesterday evening. According to Costin, the bill is slated to come before the House of Representa- tives today for action.

Bay County legislators had been contacted previous to this week's action as to whether or not- they would oppose the awarding of the Beach property to Gulf county. They implied that they would not oppose the -split but would not go on record with such a stand until the Bay County Commissioners had sanctioned the split.

THE POPPY Long before the first World War, the poppy had become indelibly imprinted on the minds of Europeans as a flower of significance. Anciently, the red poppy symbolized death, and by the ancient Romans was dedicated to Somnus, the deity of sleep. In more modern times, in western Europe where the poppy grows wild, battlefields fur- aished rich soil not only for its flourishing but for the rise of all kinds of superstitions concern- ing it. During the first World War, history repeated itself, and blood again flowed in Flanders Fields. Soon the poppies forced their way through the battle-torn earth into the sunlight. The poppy was the one touch of beauty which survived amid the hideous destruction of war. The sol- diers of all nations came to look upon it as the living symbol of the sacrifices of their fallen comrades. Even before the men had returned from the war, the perfect little poem of Colonel John McCrae had winged its way around the world, -- I scarlet poppy covered the earth where many ot them fell. But wherever they fell, on battlefields all over the world, the poppy is their memorial flower and is worn in their honor, as it is in honor of those who gave their lives in the Korean War, halfway around the world from Flanders Fields. The benefits of the American Legion Auxil- iary's memorial poppy reach out in many direc- tions, bringing help and hope into lives blighted by war. Veterans in the hospitals and workrooms who make the poppies for our Auxiliary are given beneficial employment which enables them to contribute to the support of their famil- ies or to accumulate a small stake for the time when they must face the fight to win back a place in the economic life of the country. Oth- er disabled veterans and needy children of vet- erans benefit fro mthe Auxiliary/ rehabilitation and child welfare activities financed by Poppy Day donations. On Poppy Day, as we place memorial flow- ers ove rthe hearts of millions of our citizens and enshrine the memory of the great sacrifice made for our country by our war dead, we will con- tinue to "Keep the Faith" with those who lie in "Flanders Fields." ry Gay, Barbara Ann Porter, Sha- ron Wilson, Gail Anderson, Boyd NEWS FROM Meritt, ,Paula Lovett, Barbara OAK R Young, Linda Kay Webb, Jerry Hill, OAK G LO E Carol Mears, Tommy Anderson, By HELEN NORRIS and the honorees, Mary Frances and Remoney Porter.

Lama rMliler of the Gulf County Oil Industry Information Committee. The questions deal with what determines gasoline prices, why three are so many brands of gasoline, monopoly charges, the fu- ture of oil as affected by atomic energy, 'and "myths about a 100- mile-per-gallon carburetor." "Local competition determines gasoline prices," said Mr. Miller. "The individual dealer's gasoline prices tend to stabilize at a point where margin of profit and volume of sales strike the most favorable balance." He pointed out that this process and the fluidity of consum- er buying habits produce small but distinct variations in local and nation-wide gasoline prices. "In the Gulf County area," he said, "there is a price spread of four cents a gallon. Prices may vary up to As to whether the many brands of gasoline are "all the same," Mil- ler said, "Definitely not. Each com- pany makes many different gaso- lines." "If all gasolines were the same, it would be necessary to develop variations. Otherwise, it would be impossible for each driver to get good performance, as he now can, from his own make and model of engine, anywhere, under any con- dlitions, in any weather." On the question of monopoly, Mr. Miller pointed out that hetre are some 42,000 oil companies in this country, plus about 200,000 service stations operated iby some 190,000 separate and competing concerns. He asserted that monopoly "could never have built today's American oil industry." "During the past '25 years," he said, "oil companies have increased production by 158 per cent, and have developed literally hundreds of new and (better products. The price of their most widely used product, gasoline, is only 7.3 per cent higher (except for taxes) than it was in 1925. And the power this gasoline delivers is 50 per cent eight cents per gallon nation-wide, higher than it was in 1925. And the This is to call your attention to the fact that our new Super Market and Standard Oil Service Station, will open on May 27, at 7:00 a.m. and remain open until 9:00 p.m. It is located on Highway 98, on corner opposite Highland View Elementary School.

If you were brought under social security by the 1954 ainendments, you should first of all find out just what this -means to you and your family, Carey pointed out. Many people do not realize that the social security law provides basic insurance protection to the worker and his family In old age retirement and to the worker's fam- ily ,at his death, regardless of age Many people past 65 do not realize that the payments can start at age 72 even though they have not re- tired. Further, it should -be emiha- sized that no benefits are ever paid until a claim is filed for them. Your second duty is to make sure you understand old age and survi- vors insurance so that you can pro- tect your rights under 'social. se- curity. If you are an employee, you are not doing all 'that you could to protect your rights unless you have a social security account number card, have shown it to -y0 r0 - ployer and made sure he copied your name and number correctly, have shown it to your family and told them to contact the social se- curity office in the event of your death, 'and finally check your so- ' cial security record at least every 3 years to be sure that it is correct. If you are self-employed, your duties .are similar. You, too, must obtain a social security account number car4d- If your incottA : . returns are made for the calendar year, your return for 1955 is due between January 1, 195,6 and April 15, 1956. You must also during 195'5, keep (business records that will enable you to file an accurate social security tax return fli ht--r--. year. Finally, you must file such a tax return with the District Di- rector of Internal Revenue and pay the social security tax. If you do not perform these du- ties as you should, Carey continued, you run the risk of losing your so- cial security payments or getting less than you should. If you want more information on your rights -and duties under social security law, the A,n City social .security office *'S Mercer Avenue, will be gla . swer your questions and eo e you a leaflet that explains t 0 e .. e It's a 200-horsepower performer- Most powerful at its price!
