last Saturday that he would be a

In announcing his candidacy ant
the planks of his platform, Frasev

neglected opportunity," and I
elected he would exert every el

state's natural resources.
"I believe we should advertise
our attractions and opportunities,'
he added, "and I am confident the
solution to virtually all our cur

bringing more people, new bus!
-less and more money to the state
"This would be the.answer, not

but also to the individual's eco

not necessarily expensive.
"In the course of my cam
paign," he concluded, "I will leave

Roller Tactics By Defeating
Carrabelle 16 to 7

Coach Tommy Owens' St Joe
Sharks went on the field last Frt-
day with the firm determination
to continue their unbeaten path to
a conference championship. Their
opponents, the Carrabelle Mullets,
also had some such hopes before
the game, but it didn't take th
local aggregation long to dispell
any such notions.
In the first quarter the Sharks
carried the ball to the 30-yard lini.
on a series of end runs, and then
Max Maddox made a beautiful run
for the first touchdown. Al Schnei-
der was called back to try for tht
extra points. His try for goal was
good, and the score was St. Joe

CITIZENS VISIT


STATE HOSPITAL

SGo Through Chattahoocee Insti-
tution After Attending State
C. of C. Directors Meet

A party of Port St. Joe citizens
consisting of Jack O'Keefe, C. A.
Tovey, "Doc" Corbin and J. L.
Kerr, attended the regular quar-
terly meeting of the Florida State
Chamber of Commerce board of
directors, of which Mr. Kerr is a
member, held Friday of last week
at the state hospital in Chatta-
hoochee.
Preceding the meeting tf the
directors a trip was made through
the hospital grounds, with the
place of honor in the motorcade
being given Port St. Joe. Dr. J.
H.,Therrell, superintendent of the
hospital, acted as guide to direc-
tors and guests on their tour of
the grounds and buildings.
The grounds are very extensive,
being three miles wide and flve
miles long, with a major portion
occupied by the many buildings or
which the hospital is composed.
It is very gratifying to learn that,
with nearly 5000 patients, no dis-
tinction in treatment is made be-
tween the charity inmates and
those whose care is paid for by
other than the state.
There are over 16,000 meals
served daily at the hospital, and
in serving this number of meals
there are over 48,000 pieces or
tableware used. The food required
is 1400 pounds of steak, 1000
pounds of bacon, 550 pounds of
black-eyed peas, 2500 pounds ot
potatoes, 125 pounds of coffee, 650
dozen eggs, 35 bushels of fresh
apples, 600 pounds of prunes,
4000 pounds of fresh turnips, 2000
pounds of fresh tomatoes, 800
pounds of cake, 15,000 light rolls
or biscuits and 200 gallons or
canned fruit for pies.
A special building is provides
for 26 desperate inmates, each
having killed one or more persons
before commitment to the hos-
pital.

Andrew Jackson. known as Fort

Motorists Sub j e c t

To Arrest If Caught

Without License

County Judges Noti/ied to Issue
Cards Without Examination
Until Further Notice

Governor Fred Cone last weet;


notified Sheriff Byrd Parker, that


October 15 was the deadline for
motorists to secure drivers' li-
censes, stating that the people
have had ample time to purchase
licenses and that he did not in-
'end to extend the time.further.
The governor requested Sheriff
Parker to co-operate with County
Judge Thos. R. L. Carter and with
the motor vehicle department and
arrest any person found driving
without a license after October 1M.
He said he hated to take this aw-
tion, but due to the fact that funds
from the sale of drivers' licenses
are coming in so slowly, it would
be several months before he would
be able to set up the state road
patrol.
County Judge Carter was notb-
fied by D. W. Finley, motor, vehicle
commissioner, that contrary to re-
ports being circulated, it is not
necessary that an applicant for a
drivers' license be examined mere-
ly because he failed to secure his
license prior to October 1. He in-
structed Judge Carter to issue li-
censes to all *persons applying for
the same until further j~otice.
However, he t4vised the judge-
that persons not having licenses
after October 15 are subject to ar-
rest if apprehended while operat-
ing a motor vehicle on the high-
ways of the state. "..

Those who have a hankering for

President Roosevelt set the date
for Thanksgiving Day up a week,
naming November 23 as the date.
Now Governor Fred P. Cone this
week, disregarding the action of
the president, officially proclaimed
November 30 as the date on which
Florida will observe the holiday,
giving us two Thanksgiving Days
if we so desire.

Bellows Head of


Red Cross Drive


For Gulf County

Local Chapter Chairman Says
Membership Drive Will Be
Greatest Since World War


Robert Bellows of this city was
elected chairman of the Gulf
County Chapter of the American
Red Cross held last week at the
Legion hut. J. R. Hunter of We-
wahitchka was named first vice-
chairman; E. H. Horton, Port St.
Joe, second vice-chairman; Lillian
Ferrell, Port St. Joe, secretary,
and Mrs. Robert Tapper, Port St.
Joe, treasurer.
Committee chairmen named by
Chairman Bellows were: Roll call,
Mrs. Basil E. Kenney, Sr., and dis-
aster relief chairman, J. L. Sharit.
Mr. Bellows stated that the Red
Cross is faced with a growing de-
mand for assistance to the stricken
populations of Europe's warring
nations and a need for strength-
ening its domestic operations and
that the membership campaign
this year will be the greatest since
the World' War.-'
"Prior to the outbreak of hostil.-
ties in Europe," Bellows said,
"the American Red. Cross planned
to appeal for a million more mem-
bers in an effort to strengthen i-t
services in this country. Wai-,
however, has" Idrat. i(l-..,. rv
,sponsibilities of the Red Cross to
a point where even greater mem-
bership support is needed to meet
the appeals from abroad, tnd I
have set the goal of the Gulf
County chapter at 400 members."
The success of the roll call this
year, which will continue through
November 11, will gauge me
amount of assistance the Amerf-
can Red Cross can give the sick
and injured of war, and the com-
fort that can be brought to refu-
gees and other non-combatants
fleeing the danger zones, Mr. Bel-
lows said.
Mrs. Beatrice Vines, field rep-
resentative of the Red Cross, was
present at the meeting and spoke
interestingly on problems con-
fronting the local chapter.

Friday afternoon.

local field last
The invaders


put up a great fight, but is seems
they couldn't cross St. Joe's goal
line but once.
Coach Tom Owens made. only
one change during the whole game
when he substituted Billy Ham-
mock for Ed Hufft. The starting
lineup was: Max Maddox, left
half; Ed Hufft, right half; John
Lane, quarterback; Al Schneider,
left end; Phonzo Gilbert, right
end; Glenn Grimsley, center.
The coach has promised the
boys a trip to the home-coming
game in Gainesville, but he has
a string attached to It-they have
to be passing in all their studies
to go.
The band seemed to be a great
help at Friday's game. It seemed
that every time they started play-
ing, St. Joe would gain ground,
and when they stopped Carrabelle
would gain.
The team goes to Tallahassee
today to take on the highly-touted
Florida High aggregation. A win
today will virtually assure the St.
Joe team the conference cham-
pionship.

ANNOUNCE CANDIDATES
FOR STUDENT BODY
At last Friday's chapel pro-
gram, announcement was made of
candidates chosen for president
and vice-president for the student
body election to be held soon. For
the presidential chair we have Al
Schneider and P. K. Johnson,
while vice-presidential candidates
are Murnice Taunton and Jimmy
Weatherly.
The band concert for chapel
program was opened with "She'll
Be Coming 'Round the Mountain,"
and the second number was
"Home on the Range" with an un-
expected quartet consisting of
Max Maddox, Ed Hufft, Al Schnei-
der and Glenn Grimsley. Following
this the band swung out with
"Hail. Hail, the Gang's All Here."

HEAR TALK ON HOOKWORM
Tuesday morning the students
of the Port St. Joe schools were
honored to listed to Dr. Carter In
an 'interesting talk on the hook-
worm disease. The doctor stressed
the points of how one catches
hookworm, where the hookworms
dwell, and treatment.

EDITORIAL
Why Don't They Teach THIS
And THAT?
Some of our citizens in Port St.
Joe cannot seem to realize that
this is a small growing town and
that our schools cannot possibly
be given as many elective sub-
jects as the schools having 700 to
1000 students.
There has been some "kick'
about not teaching this subject ana
that subject, but it must be re-
membered that in order to have a
standard class there has to be at
least 10 pupils to a class, not any
less than that number. The state
doesn't supply teachers enough to
instruct three or four students
alone. So you can readily see why
there are but a few elective sub-
jects being taught.
Another thing that seems to be
bothering some parents is whether
or not this is an accredited high
school. To which we answer that
the high school of Port St. Joe IS
an accredited school, approved by
the state board of education. Ru-
mors that have been circulating
is just misinformation that has
been picked up somewhere.
So, parents, students and all
citizens, instead of spreading all
these untrue things and complaln-
ing about our schools, let's be
loyal and help improve it all we
can. Buck up and be yourselves!

AL SCHNEIDER ELECTED
PRESIDENT OF SENIORS
The senior class met Tuesday
morning for the purpose of elect-
ing class officers, and Al Schnel-
der was elected, as president;
Opal Greene, vice-president; Mary
Guertin, secretary and treasurer,
and Margie Kirkland, class repre-
sentative to student council.

selected for the Hallowe'en carni-
vat, being Max Maddox hnd Mar-

PLANNED DICTATORSHIP


HAVE YOU HAD YOUR OYSTERS?
Oysters came in several weeks ago, to the
great joy of all gourmets-a fact that per-
haps we should have called to your attention
at that time. "In oyster dl.-i:, there is noth-
ing to fear; taste on the first day, you are
good for a year."
But if you have an unsatiable appetite for
the bivalves, don't let it worry you if you
didn't cat an oyster that first day of Septem-
ber, for "By chance the first day puts them
out of your power, eat double the quantity
every hour; the effect will assuredly prove
near the same, and cure every ill that the doc-
tors can name."
Of course, we know that oysters are not a
cure-all for disease-they are a food, and
what a. delectable food!
According to a lot of people around Port
St. Joe, the only way to eat an oyster is
right out of the shell, and that if anything

all over the front page.
I mentioned to my wife that 1

and gals, I have more fun talking'
and writing' about 'em than any-
thing else. 'Course everything Is
kinda funny to me, but I guess
any lazy guy has more time to see
the funny sights, and not be a

some of 'em are better than a
show. But the keen ones, you don't
see them out there doin' all the
monkey shines, like crowdin' the
men outa the bar rooms, ana
showing' off. These wise ones they
are over at the cooking' school,
finding' out something about how
to season up the old, roast so as
to help 'em, maybe, captivate for
themselves a permanent me-

Christ is King both of this 'orla
and of His Spiritual Kingdom. Ai4
church memb-ers are Hi's ubjectrs.
In any country, during war time,
all citizens are required to help
their country, and the giving of
aid or encouragement to the
eriemy makes them punishable Dy
death as traitors.
Church members make them-
selves as guilty before God as any
traitor when they in any way in-
jure the church or any member
or minister. They thus classify
themselves with Judas Iscariot.
Are you a loyal church member
as shown by faithful attendance,
giving, and harmonious working?
Are you boldly fighting for Christ
your King, or are you letting
others injure the church and its
work by criticism and you do
nothing to resist them? Be a loyal
soldier of your King.

Tulips Ideal to Paint

-Spring Garden Picture


A Colorful Planting of May-Flowering Tulips.


._ A box of colors will paint no pic-
ture more beautiful than a box of
tulips. Nor will any artist find a
palette of colors more brilliant or
diverse to work with. In a fashion
they are nature's gift to the gar-
dener, whose sense of artistry may
be expressed and recreated each
spring 'as he paints his garden
picture with them.
Simple to look at and to work
,with, they furnish unending ar-
rangements of brilliant color begin-
ning in the earliest spring months
Sand continuing through May, which
.is tulip time in most states.
Few flowers are so satisfying to
work with as the tulip. Its growth
is dependable, and one can almost
:bet on the height it will attain. The
,colors have none of the capricious-
ness of seedlings, and can be relied
upon according to the catalog de-
scription. If planted at the same
,depth and in soil of the same na-
ture, they will all blossom togeth-
er, almost on the same day.
'Their gay colors, which contrast
so strikingly with the bleakness of
winter, come in a range which is
almost complete. Clear white, with
buift a tiny speck of pink,' is the
;beginning. Then comes the roses,
yellows, reds, orange, bronze, lav-
enders and violets, some of the lat-
ter being so deep they are almost
:black. Only blue is lacking.
The Darwin, breeder and cottage
types may be all planted at the
same time in the fall. Although
they are distinctly different strains,
they have characteristics much
alike, and are all May-flowering
types.
The basis of classification is blood
relationship and family resem-
blance. Ther.: is no reason why
*varieties of all these different
classes should not be grown in the
Same bed, provided colors are chos-
Sen which look well together; and
it0a hard to find a colot clash
among the May flowering tulips.

All of these garden classes are
hybrids; that is, they have been
developed from native species.
Most of the native species are May
flowering. Many are still grown in
rock gardens and for naturalized ef-
fects. As a rule they are smaller
and less hardy and, of course, of a
much less interesting color range
than the hybrids which represent
several centuries of plant breeding
for improvement.
Being one of the oldest of garden
flowers with a recorded history, the
tulips have an interesting back-
ground. The eldest of the garden
types are the breeders. No one
knows from what native species
they came. But they were grown
by the Dutch breeders of the Six-
teenth century for the purpose of
producing, by the process known as
"breaking," the gayly striped va-
rieties now called bybloemans and
bizarre. These striped varieties
were highly valued and speculating
in them caused the financial crisis
known as the tulipomania.
The breeder tulips were never so
highly valued for their own merits
as they now are, when modern taste
considers their rich but somewhat
dull colors, in which tones of brown
are usually present, most desirable
in the garden.
Darwin tulips were an introduc-
tion late in the last century, sup-
posed to be hybrids of breeder
tulips, but the origin was kept se-
cret by the introducers. They are-
characterized by soft pastel colors,
always with white overbloom, in-
cluding a remarkably complete col-
6or ra!Wge, but lacking entirely so
far, good yellows.
Cottage tulips are brighter in col-
or, not so tall, and not so large as
the Darvt*m and breeders. They
are usually later and they have
brilliant yellows. The flowers as a

Education Brings

Respect for State

Conservation Law

Program Found to. Be More Ef-
fective Than Campaign
Of Arrests

R. L. "Bob"' bowling, state so-
p'ervisor otf conservation, said he
believes an educational program Is
more effective than a campaign
of arrests in enforcing respect for
the state conservation laws.
This statement was made in
connection with annual reports hIs
office in Tallahassee is receiving
from field agents who ha-e been
carrying out just such instruc-
tions. One agent who agrees witi
Dowling's idea of obtaining public
support of the program is H. J.
McCormick of Lynn Haven. Mc-
Cormick, in co-operation with G.
L. Warren of CarrabeTle, patro.t
Gulf, Bay. Okaloosa and Walton
counties.
McCormick's annual report said,
"I am receiving 100 per cent co-
operation from boat. owners, sea-
food dealers and fishermen." Ree-
ords for his territory bear this
out, says Dowling.
Newspapers, business men, pub-
lic officials, civic organizations
and those engaged in the fishing
industry are friendly and helpful.
This is particularly true in Gurl
county.
McCormick's enforcement wor
has been directed at illegal fish-
ing, culling of oysters to prevent%
the sale of undersized oysters,
collection of licenses, and the
closing of the 30-day season on
salt water trout. This work has
been accomplished with few ar-
rests and a minimum amount of
friction and hard feeling.
Supervisor Dowling said he is
gratified with results in the Bay-
Gulf county area, and appreciates
the support of those who are co-
operating with the field agents for
a return to prosperity of all fish-
ing Interests.

The Low Down
from

Willis Swamp


Editor The Star:
With the war crowdin' even the
divorces and murders out of the
news, its not so hard to savvy wny
we don't pay too much attention
to Uncle Samuel when he borrows
another 10 or 20 million just to
pay interest on money which he
borrowed, before.
Borrowin' money to pay interest
on other borrowed money, brother
that IS borrowing .
How Uncle Samuel manages to
keep outa the calaboose while the
SEC puts other guys in for too
high financing it is kinda mysti-
fyin' to me.
But most of us, I reckon, are
kinda like the young duc when
he graduated from the University
of Florida. On the day he gradu-
ated the professor said to him,
young feller, you are now finishli.
here and there is just one thing
you don't know-you don't know
yet that you don't know anything.
I guess maybe one of the things
that professor had in mind must
been politics.
Yours with the low-down,

The Florida Federation of Labor
planned Saturday the formation
within the next few months of a
statewide political committee to
take an active part in approaching
state and national election cam-
paigns.
The step, directed at placing
the labor movement in the state's
political field as a unit, was taken
at Daytona Beach by the federa-
tion's executive board.
The group will be composed of
"union members and those who
are in active sympathy with and
sarport the objectives of organized.

Teacher Fund To

Start Next Month


Teachers and State Will
tribute To Build Up
Pension Fund


Con-


Florida's teacher retirement pro-
gram will get off to a belated
start next month. The legislature
provided for the program to be-
gin July 1, but Attorney General
G. C. Gibbs ruled that a start in
December is legal because the du-
ties imposed on the trustees are
continuing.
Teachers and principals will
contribute a part of their salaries
each month, beginning in Decem-
ber, and state appropriations will
help build up a pension fund.
Retirement benefits will not be
available to those who immedi-
ately become eligible until the
state pays its share. Governor
Cone states the treasury is in no
position now to take care of the
$200,000 a year appropriated by
the 1939 legislature, which finally
adopted the program.
