He pointed out that if the roads were not paved under the issue, costly assessments would have to be born by citizens to re- pave city streets. City Attorney Cecil G.

He stated that he had assurances from the Road Department that the streets could be paved. He said that Nelson was still sticking by the limitations of secondary road funds to connecting links and farm to market roads. "The definition of a connecting link is very vague", said Costin. Costin said that all Nelson wanted was an assurance that the program was legal before giving it his stamp of approval.

All plant material, whether in pots or grown outdoors must have been grown by the exhibitor at least sixty days preferably ninety days before the show. This gives you a chance to have your plants or specimen in blue ribbon condi- tion. All sign of insect damage, dirt or spray material should be remov- ed from plants and blossoms and foliage specimen material before exhibiting. This adds to the ap- pearance of your display and the overall beauty and quality of the show. So let's have the entire show in clean tip top shape for 1958. There can be no plant material appearing on the State Conserva- tion list exhibited in any form ex- cept on its own root and used for educational purpose.

The spoken word is given scant attention; the printed word is thoughtfully THE STAR, Port St. Joe, Fla. THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 1958 EDITORIAL The time has come again for the people of Port St. Joe to stand up for their needs. The County Commission is meeting in Port St. Joe tonight at 7:30 P.M. at the City Hall to ascertain "What the people of Port St. Joe want" insofar as the proposed County Road construction bond issue is concerned. Let us pause right here and say that we are in favor of a bond issue. As it now appears, in a few years the state will do away with secondary road payments for construction of County road construction. If Gulf County has their funds tied up partly in a bond issue, the state will be obligated to pay them off -- and Gulf County and Port St. Joe will have paved streets. The Commissioners have been given many opinions as to what they can and cannot spend their state secondary road funds for in the way of roads. Some opinions say they can spend the funds in any way or anywhere they desire -- even inside the limits of incorporated cities. Some say they must be limited as their road construction plans may not include any road except farm to market roads or highway connecting links. Gulf County has very, very few farm to market roads. The sources of informa- tion for both arguments are impressive for their being in a posi- tion to know which is right and which is wrong. Why the dif- ferences of opinion we do not know. Perhaps, as someone has said, nobody has gone to the trouble to test the law and see just which opinion is right. As was reported in this paper several weeks ago the Com- missioners were going along with the advice that they could not construct roads within the city limits. Contrary to our edi- torial of some three weeks ago -- they were acting on what they thought to be sound advice. And perhaps the advisor thought so, too. Later opinions from the Road Board, the Governor and the Attojney General of the State of Florida now offer the opinion that the County CAN build the roads in the .city. The former opinions offered the County also came from high up offices so one can easily see their delima. Tuesday, the Chamber of Commerce unanimously offered the resolution printed on page one of this issue to the Board. The Chamber members (tax-payers all) urged the adoption of the roads listed for the bond issue. The County still is not sure -of who is right and is reluctant for the matter to go to the Supreme Court if they are wrong. Our City Commission and,the Chamber of Commerce is urging that the County test this law. There would be no cost to the county in the testing. Now, where you the citizen fit into the picture, is that the County Board will meet tonight in Port St. Joe to hear your wishes in the matter. .This newspaper urges that you attend and make your wishes known. This newspaper urges that you stand behind the City Commission and the Chamber of Commerce in asking that every street in Port St. Joe be included in this bond issue for resurfac- ing and paving. There is no need to point out to you that all the streets in Port St. Joe need paving. The only other way to do it is through property assessment. This means of paving financing would cost property owners approximately $90.00 to $100.00 cold hard cash out of the property owner's pocket for every lot he owned. So you see, it is to your advantage to see that this matter is carried out as the City Commission desires. Your presence to- night will help you and your City.

The missionary, who first went out to the Congo in 1925, reports that his work involves such diverse activities as supervising mainten- ance of misison station machines and cars, directing laborers in car- pentry and masonry, training Con- golese in mechanical and construc- tion skills, directing the student-aid work of the mission, and maintain- ing station business and finance re. cords. During the year prior to his return on furlough, Mr. Watt was acting secretary and treasurer for the entire Congo misison of the Presbyterian Church, with more than 170 missionaries and hundreds of Congolese workers. Mr. Watt and his wife, the for- mer Miss Geongia McKay of Ameri- cus and Thomasville, Georgia, have spent approximately 25 years in the Congo. For a period from 1938 to 1947 for health reasons they were not on the field, and during that period Mr. Watt was in the whole- sale fruit and produce business in Americus. He is an elder of .the Americus Presbyterian Church. A native of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Mr. Watt originally went to the field from Charleston, West Vir- ginia. -------------- LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Wesley R. Ramsey The Star Dear Sir, I have noticed with great interest the Church Crusade that is now in progress here in Port St. Joe. The figures that have appeared in your newspaper show that all churches have increased their attendance. This Crusade is of more impor- tance than some people realize. This program is conducted by lay- men of the churches. Men who stand out in front of the masses and l'et people know they are men of God, men who are not ashamed of the part they take in religious activities are to be admired. In times such as these we must return to our Maker for that feel- ing we cannot get through material things. Security in old age is not the only objective of life. We must prepare in this short stay on earth for the life beyond the grave. I want to express my thanks to you for supporting this program arid having a large part in making it a success. The American Legion has a pro- gram called "Back To God" in which we try to show our relation to God and country. We of the American Legion believe if we are in line with God, our country will continue to be the greatest country on the face of this earth. R. H. "Bob" ELILZEY Cmdr. American Legion Willis V.

Hello! By .R. GLENN BOYLES National Institutes of Health Bethesda, Md. Greetings to friends in the Sunshine State: This is being written from'Mount Airy, N. C. (the Granita City) where I stopped overnight to say howdy to the two people response ble for my being in this world. My father (past 88 years), my mother (past 81) are both perky and heal- thy, going about the days work about as usual with less speed than '50 years ago. Mom still mixes the groceries well and I'm eating al- most as high on the hog as I did at home in old Joe. Speaking of eating here's a special lunch menu: Before yo suatrt on a trip, lay your hand on your wife's shoulder, look her straight in the eye, (sorta like you did before you married her) speak softly but firmly ask her to hustle up two or three assort- ed home style, St. Joe sandwiches and slip a couple slices fresh, home made cake in the sack put it right in the seat beside you and when you're a couple hundred miles up the country and stopping to gas up, git you a quart of cold milk . unlax, rear back and put the chin slippers to work methinks it's 'better than a Waldorf-Astoria menu! (Can you imagine a dry goods merchant trying to sell lunch menus?) , Will you bear with me while I mention two or three highlights in addition to the best one of being home with fl molks in St. Joe My face is red as I admit visiting -the St. Joe museum for the first time, .a small, but most interesting and entertaining spot. Mrs. Eunice Brinson, the pleasant and capable hostess is interested in her work and most helpful. St. Joe can be rightfully proud of this historic at- traction ... it's worth your while to muse awhile there Had a 'as- ual chat with Mayor Sharit that left this sort of feeling in me: "St. Joe, the light is green turn on the steam and let's go". It's my opinion that our little city will continue to move forward accord- ing to the amount of loyalty, devo- tion and plain hard work necessary to make progress anyplace. Sun- day afternoon had a pleasant drive out to Indian Pass Beach and a cup of coffee with Mrs. J. T. Mc- Neill and J. 0. Bragdon in Miss Gypsy's cozy cottage by the sea. The years have slowed Mrs. Mac down (as well as the rest of us) but she's still her smiling, humor- ous self and there's rest and peace out there. Got a little low down on the seafood business from J. 0. Would it be in order to say that Indian Pass, quaint and interesting, is another one of St. Joe's assets and attractions along with St. Joe Beach, Beacon Hill and Mexico Beach? Just as I was leaving town bump- ed into W. C. Forehand of Highland View. W. C. at 92 is going about his business as usual. It does some- thing to one just to shake the hand of a guy like that (one asks ones' self: "Reckon I've got a chance?") We can be proud of our neighbor, Highland View. Hardworking, for- ward-looking folks are on the move there! Friends, I'll close with this little re-minder: Please turn your dial to 1570 every day at 6 p.m. (except Tuesday and Saturday) and listen to Boyles Dept. Store's Sunshine News program over WJOE. Excit- ing, money having Dollar Days con- tinue through this week you'll get the latest news of the Sunshine State, too! Now for some home style buckwheat pancakes they go well twice daily here! This col- umn will come from Maryland next week.

(* photo) Gobbler Season Set For Gaskin Reservation For First Time This Year The Gaskin Area will have a pany and the Game .and Fresh Wa- gobbler season this spring for the first time since the Area has been opened to hunting. The Gaskin Area will be open to gobbler hunting from March 29 through April 6, with hunting allowed one-half hour before sunrise to twelve noon each day. On this special hunt, regular saeson turkey kills will apply on a hunter's limit of two per day and three per season. A Public Hunting Area Permit is required in addition to a hunting license for a person to participate in the hunt on the Gaskin Area. Hunters who purchased a Public Hunting Area Permit for the regu- lar hunting season, will not be re- quired to purchase an additional permit for the gobbler hunt on the Gaskin Area. The Public Hunting Area Permit must be in the hunt- er's possession as long as he parti- cipates in the hunt and may be pur- chased from the county judge or designated agents. Special Gaskin Area regulations for the gobbler season that were ,not included during the regular sea- son are as follows: (1) possession of buckshot shells prohibited; (2) rifles prohibited; (3) no dogs al- lowed in the area; and (4) hunt participants with guns will not be allowed on .the Gaskin Area before one hour prior to sunrise and must be off the area by one p.m. Hunters will not be required to check in and out ,but will be check- ed in the field. The hunt headquar- ters located at CCC Roads 11 and 101, will not be operated during this special hunt. It is requested that turkey kills be reported to field technicians and local wildlife officers. During the regular season's hunt on the Gaskin Area, a total of 31 deer and 11 turkeys were killed. This is an increase of two deer and nine turkeys over the previous hunt- ing season. Over 600 Public Hunting Area Permits were purchased by hunters in Bay,' Calhoun and Gulf counties to hunt on the Gaskin Area during the regular hunting season.
