THE PEOPLE WIN
It is now Governor-Elect Spessard L. Hol-
land, and with his election to the governor's
chair it isn't only Holland who wins, but the
people of Florida, for at this time in our his-
tory, with most of the world gone mad, we
need a determined and courageous leader who
can awaken and unite our people so that we
can stand as one in defense of our homes, our
lives and our liberties.
Florida today needs leadership-courageous,
able, forceful and fearless leadership, coupled
with vision and a sympathetic understanding
of the crisis we face and the ability and ex-
perience, to meet it well prepared, and in
Spessard L. Holland we have that leader-
the peoples' choice.

THE CENTENNIAL EXPOSITION
The Florida Fair and Gasparilla association
at Tampa already is laying plans for a huge
Centennial Exposition in 1945 marking the
100th anniversary of the admission of Florida
into the Union, and the association is calling
utgn o 1e -tat e'.a. a: whole to give the fullest
co-operation for this event.
While in our opinion such an event should
be celebrated at Port St. Joe, site of the first
constitutional convention and birthplace of
the state, we do not have the facilities to
stage a celebration of this character on the
scale it should be staged and, therefore, we
should join heartily with the fair association
and give them our fullest co-operation.
Port St. Joe undoubtedly will receive much
publicity from this exposition and we should,
by all means, have some sort of exhibit at the
affair and our people should take an active
interest in promoting it.
Let's start planning for it now-not walt
until a, few months before the exposition to
develop our plans of participation.


LETTERS
TO THE EDITOR

Texas City, Texas
May 16, 1940
W. .S. Smith, Editor
The Star
Port St. Joe, Fla.
Dear Mr. Smith-A friend of
mine sent me a copy of your neat
and, enterprising paper. In 1902 I
was captain of the first sternwheel
steamer to ply the Dead Lakes and
Chipola river to the steel bridge.
In those pioneer days naval stores
and their supplies was the princl-
pal traffic.,
I made many friends and havb
always been interested in that sec-
tion. I later operated a boat out
of Carrabelle, and at three differ-
ent times edited newspapers In
Carrabelle. I know many people all
over the Third Congressonal Dis-
trict and know all the candidates
now running.
I enclose a poem if you would
care to use it.
Best wishes and regards,
IRA SASANORN, SR.
The poem follows:
Interesting Port St.'Joe Star
Is the best newspaper by far


NOW'S OUR OPPORTUNITY
With the present enormous demand for
airplanes in Europe, with President Roose-
velt's declaration that the United States needs
50,000 fighting planes, and with the aircraft
industry looking to the South for suitable io-
cations, opportunity indeed is knocking at the
door of Port St. Joe.
We are endowed with the finest year-round
climate in the world, and the land about the
city would lend itself admirably to compara-
tively inexpensive conversion into fine' flying
fields. In addition we have one of the finest
ports in the South, and the bay would lend it-
self for the testing of amphibian planes.
Already inquiries have been received here
from airplane manufacturers in regard to se-
curing sites, and we should follow up these
inquiries by providing all available data and
contacting those concerns that are looking
for sites in our state.

"FIFTH COLUMN" TECHNIQUE
As the big totalitarian states of Europe
continue the inhuman and methodical process
of crushing the "neutral" nations under their
iron heels, Americans are able to observe-
at a distance-the "fifth column" technique
in action.
Briefly, this technique involves the intro--
duction of spies, sabotage artists, and sympa-
thizers into a country with which your na-
tion is not at war. This "fifth column" gradu-
ally establishes itself in positions where it cant
do the maximum amount of damage once the
two countries in question go to war. We
wouldn't- be at all surprised if there weren't.
foreigners of this sort right here in Port St.
Joe right now waiting for "the day."
There have been frequent occasions since
when the phrase has been justifably applied
to happenings in troubled Europe. Washing-
ton is currently anxious to keep anything re-
motely similar from occurring in the United
States.
For' that reason, those who are sincerely
interested in the welfare of this country have
been looking with a narrow eye upon -any-
thing which would aid ard abet, however In-
innocently, "fifth column" activities.

June time will be milk.'time this year. The
entire thirty days will be given to observance
of National Dairy Month. "Drink more milk"
is the slogan for the month, and that is fine
advice for everyone.

The United States still watches bloody
Europe. But we should be keeping a close
eye on the Far East. For there is the most
immediate threat to American peace and se-
curity.

In Event of' War Their Status Will
Be Strictly That of Any
Other Civilians

During the period July 1 to 2t
Florida will enroll 1800 youngmen
for t he Civilian Conservation
Corps, according to announcement
yesterday by the state welfare
board at Jacksonville.
CCC selectees are in no sense en-
listing for military service, their
status being strictly that of civil-
ians, as the name of the corps inr
plies. Should the United States en-
ter the war, the status of the CC(
enrollees would be exactly the same
as that of other young men of
their age.
They would be no more subject
to draft than any of their friends
and brothers back home, and it
recruiting should be authorized
they would have the same privilege
of volunteering for military service
as other American boys. They
would have one advantage in the
event of becoming fighting men-
that of being in top physical con-
dition and therefore more able to
withstand physical hardships.

Popular Song Is

Called Bing's Best

Is Title Melody for "if I Had My
Way," Playing Sunday and
Monday at the Port

Bing Crosby's recording of the
title song for his new picture, "It
I Had My Way," playing Sunday
and Mond'ay at the Port theater, is
the best in the singer's career, in
be opinion of David Butler, who
produced and directed the film.
The song is a revival of an old-
'ime hit by James Kendis and Lou
'cein, and is one of the two solos
Ei:ig sings in the picture. The
o;.her is a new number titled "April
Flayed the Fiddle."
Bing and his youngest co-star,
little Gloria Jean, sing three new
duets, "I Haven't Time to Be a
Millionaire," "Meet the Sun Hals-
way" and "Pessimistic Character.'
In addition to the musical se-
quences, "If I Had My Way" con-
ta'ns many iomedy-drama higli-
lights. Charles Winninger and El
Brendel head the supporting cast
which includes such stars of yes-
teryear as Trixie Friganza, Grace
LaRue, Eddie Leonard, Julian El.
tinge and Blanche Ring.

ON AMOUNTINGN TO SOMETHING
ON "AMOUNTING TO SOMETHING?'


The new "hired girl" was due to
arrive that afternoon. Her brother
was driving her over rrom Pan-
ama City, and Grandmother was
getting her room ready.
"The Wagners are substantial
people," Grandmother said. "They
keep a clean house and pay theli
bills. I'm expecting this Milly to
amount to something. Now that
Poe girl tch tch .. just
look at the way she left her room!
I don't think she swept under the
bed the whole time she was here."
i Grandmother had never approves
3f the Poe girl. She had "ratted"
her hair and made eyes at the
aired mane and complained of be-
fhg tired on wash day even before
,I the sheets were on the line.
And by .the timeshe was hanging
-out the colored clothes, she would
stop and rest, on her way from the
line, on the bench under ti'e. apple
-ree and fan herself with her sun
'onnet.
A "hired girl" who got tired be-
fore the Monday washing was on
the line was just out of luck in
Grandmother's household. Because
after that there was dinner to get
o-or grandfather and the boys ana
:he hired man. A big -dinner of
:neat and potatoes and vegetables
'hat had to be brought in from the
garden, and a piidding or pie
cooked over a wood fire in the big
range. Afterwards there were
dishse to do, and the wash house
to scrub. Later on in the afternoon
tie. sweet-smelling clothes had to
be brought in off the line, then
sprinkled and tucked away in damp
rolls' in a big wicker basket. Then
there was supper to get and more
dishes to wash; chickens to feeu
and water and the mllK som stx
cows to strain .before the milk
things could be washed, and
scalded.'
Tuesday..wa .ironing 'day, and no;
matter how hot the weather,
Grandmother and the 'hired girl"
kept at it until it was done, their


irons heating on the big. cook
stove. Grandmother always, baked
bread on ironing day so that the
fire might do double duty.
Wednesday was cleaning day and
Grandmother was not content un-
til every square inch of carpet in
her big house had been swept and
all of the woodwork as well as the
furniture dusted and the, 12 oil
lamps given more than their daily,
cleaning.
Thursday .was .mending day .and
a girl might expect to get some
rest while'she sat darning sox and
putting big honest patches on torn
blue 'work shirts. Only that Grand-
mother always found. "extras!'. for,
mending day.
Friday mornings. GrandmotheL
spent weeding in her vegetable
garden and in the aftei-noon she
hitched old Cleo to the phaeton
and drove to the village to do her
week's buying.- The girl was ex-
pected to go along foi company
and to have a chance -to look
around the stores herself. It' was
her afternoon. off whether she
wanted to go or not!
Saturday there was so much
bustle and stir in Grandmother's
house getting ready for Sunday
that no one' ever had time to so
much as sit down even for fiv,
minutes. Bread and pies and cook-
ies were baked. Chickens were
killed and dressed;- vegetables
gathered and cleaned for two days
instead of one. And if company
was coming for Sunday dinner,
there was extra cleaning to do.
Grandmother worked right along
with the "hired girl," as was the
necessary custom in those days.
And it was no easy job for either
of them to cook and clean and
wash and mend dfor a household of
'six without a single piece of me-
chanical equipment.
In'those days before modern con-
veniences had'- transformed her
world, a woman, whether mistress
or maid, jolly well HAD to
"amount' to something."


Seed Sowing is an Art


Garden Fan Should Learn


When a gardener buys a packet
o- seed, usually it bears terse direc-
tions, such as "Sow in the open
ground when the weather is warm,"
"Sow in heat," etc. They sound
simple enough, but one accustomed
to sowing seed Wvould hardly agree
that it is as simple as it sounds.
Seed sowing is quite an art in it-
self, easily learned, but details must
be observed for full-success. For-
tunately, seed is the cheapest com-
modity on the market, and' proba-
bly more seed is wasted through
poor methods or careless work in
sowing than from any other reason.
Knowledge of correct methods of
seed sowing undoubtedly would in-
crease the good reputation of seeds-
men, who are all 'too often blamed
for ill success.
The seed in its function as the
originator of plant life is a small
body, often a very,tiny one, which
contains a microscopic plant called
the embryo with a. quantity of food
matter stored in the seed and often
in the thickened first pair of leaves
known as seedleaves or cotyledons
which differ from the true leaves
of the plant, which appear later.
Sometimes the stored food supply
is missing in seeds. The whole is
surrounded by a more or less hard
and thick shell or coating.
Under proper conditions the em-
bryo escapes from this protecting
cover and the mature plant results.
The escape is called germination.
At the start of germination, the pri-
mary parts that later become root
and stem thrust through the seed


covering, the root turning down-
ward and the stem upward. Mois-
ture and temperature are the two
factors that control germination,
and they are the two factors that
must be considered in successful
seed sowing.
In the mechanics of seed sowing,
the first point tF observe is never
to bury the seed too deeply in the
soil. If planted too deeply it may
be smothered before it can find
strength to thrust through the soil,
exhausting all the stored food sup-
ply of the seed in the effort. Deep
sowing is a most frequent mistake
and the commonest cause of poor
success with seeds. Cover a seed
with its-own depth of soil. This is
the best rule of thumb. Tiny sccds
merely lie on the surface
