"Port St. Joe-The Outlet Port for the Apalachicola-Chattahoochee Valley" TWENTY-FIRST YEAR ,ORT ST. JOE, FLORIDA THURSDAY, JULY 24, 1958 St. Joe Asked To Provide Harbor Facilities County Agrees To Lower Mills To 13 The group of taxpayers from Port St. Joe who objected to the original draft of the County budget for the year 1959, won out in their pleas for "holding the line" on taxes Tuesday of this week. After much discussion, the County Board agreed to hold the County millage at the 13.8 mark that it was last year. Since last Tuesday, when the request for a lower budget was asked for, the County Board has had several meetings and worked hard over the budget, which they felt was all necessary, to bring the tax burden in line with what the taxpayers in the County felt they were able to pay. The taxpayers were led in their quest for a reduced millage by H. elude all special millage taken up H. Saunders, representing the St. by the St. Joe Fire Control Dis- Joe Paper Company; H. C.

Chamber Welcomes Two New Industries The Port St. Joe Chamber of Commerce gave its official "Howdy Neighbor" to'the Michigan Chemical Corporation Tues- day nighatat the Centennial Building. The Chamber entertained the vice-president of the concern along with their chief engineer, the manager for the local plant and the engineer who was to de- sign the new plant. At the same time the Chamber members learned of another small industry that has already moved into Port St. Joe. Announcement of the intention of the Michigan Chemical Corpora- tion to construct a sea-water mag- nesium oxide plant here in Port St. Joe, was made by The Star two weeks ago. Tuesday night, it was announced that the Crawford-Hutchings Manu- facturing Company, formerly of High point, N. C., had moved into Port St. Joe and was now in the process of getting under way. The new plant will manufacture furniture parts from hardwood and will utilize some of the old St. Joe Lumber and Export Company ma- chinery, building area and man- rower. Bill Hutchings, who is now in Port St. Joe and a partner in the firm said ,that the company is now Int the process of securing a supply of hardwood lumber and will begin operations in just a -few short weeks or even days. He said that the concern will begin operations with about a dozen men and in- Stnds to grow in volume and man- power. Hutchings said that the lo- cal plant will manufacture rough- cut furniture parts and plans are now to enlarge into finished parts Michigan Chemical Welcomed Chamber President George G. Tapper gave a short welcome ad- dress, in behalf of the Chamber in wlpoin~ th MiniinOpi AN EDITORIAL Opportunity Knocks At Our Door For the umpteenth time in almost as many years, Port St. Joe has been told by outsiders what lucky stiffs they are to have our fine natural deep Water harbor and what a po- tefitial the area has due this port being so nice as to be lo- cated right in our back yard. But, always in the past, we have merely smiled and said, "yes, we are lucky, we could probably make a pile of money for our town with that port -- we'll have to develop it someday." We have even gone to far as to create a Port Authority and then have let the matter die again. Now, Port St. Joe has been approached by the Bain- bridge, Ga., Chamber of Commerce to please, (pretty please if you must) develop your port facilities so we can give you some lucrative business. In effect, the Bainbridge men said, "We have the business all lined up for you all you have to do is provide the facilities." We'll guarantee you, if the St. Joe Paper Company or any other firm should walk in our door and say, "Wesley, get your shop ready, we are going to give you our business," We can tell you we would make the utmost haste to make ready for what we would consider a windfall. Here Port St. Joe is offered just such an opportunity by the City of Bainbridge and by new industry locating here that they can use our fine natural harbor. What are we going to do about it? Are we going to wait on some other port to develop and take this business? You can bet we have the best location to offer, or the- business wouldn't come looking for us they would be hard to get. We believe in seizing the opportunity and doing all possible to build Port St. Joe up as a water shipping city. Water shipping built New Orleans, Mobile and many other great port cities. It can do the same for us, too, if we will but prepare ourselves and give it half a chance. Port Would Be Outlet For Three Rivers' Water System Otis Pyle Is In School Board Race 'Otis Pyle, .of Port St. Joe quali- fied Tuesday just before noon with the Circuit Court, George Y. Core, to seek election as School Board member from District number Five. Pyle will oppose Fennon Talley, who is now Board Member from' this District and seeking re-elec- tion. Pyle has long been associated with school activities in Port St. Joe and Gulf County being an ac- tive member of the PTA fo-: sev. eral years and a past president of that organization. Three years ago, when the Gulf Countinuing Educa- tion Association was former wita the purpose in mind of bettering the teacher pay situation iu Gulf County, Pyle served as president of that organization. 'He is a member of the Ftrs-t Baptist Church in Port St. Joe, and is employed as sales manager of the Floyd Chevrolet Company. Pyle stated that one of his aims Is for the School Board to hold periodical meetings with leaders in each school in Gulf County to get their problems and needs first hand for close study by the Board. Loan Aproved For Dead Lakes Dam Construction TALLAHASSEE-A onmeback by West Florida's Dead Lakes as one of the state's top sports fishing resorts appeared assured lues- day when the Internal Improvement Fund trustees agrea' to advance $100,000 to help build a tumbler dam across the Lakes. -Only a few years back the Dead Lakes which spread across Gulf and Calhoun counties were tamous for the size and quantity of the bass, bream and shellcrackers taAt.n by sports fishermen. Then drought and construction ot dams in the Apalachicola '-iver dropped the level of the Dead Lakes nearly to the point of extinc- tion. The fish population dropped right along with the water level. The Dead Lakes aren't true lakes, bat overflow water from 'he Chi- p;'la River. The 1957 Legislature appropria- ated $100,000 for construction of a dam at the mouth of the chain of lakes, but made the appropria- tion contingent upon $100,000 be- ing raised at the local level. The dam will hold the present water and rain runoff water to restore the lakes to their former level. A special fishing permit fee and levy of one mill on Gulf and Cal- houn property were authorized to supply the matching money needed by the counties. The two counties have banked about $23,000 from the $1.25 special fishing permit and the property levy. But to speed the project, the weicmingthe ichian Cemicl trustees agreed to lend the coui- Corporation to Port St. Joe. He ties up to $100,000, to be repaid gave praises to Harry H. Saunders as the man "most responsible" for bringing the concern to Port St. Joe. Tapper then called on Saun- ders to introduce the visiting MCC officials. Saunders first introduced Fred DeMaestre, who is vice-president of Michigan Chemical. DeMaestre in turn introduced the other mem- bers of the Michigan firm's team that has come to Port St. Joe to work out the engineering of the new firm's plant. He introduced Wendell Dunbar, chief engineer of MCC, Mark Fremodig, who will be manager of the local concern and who DeMaestre had only the high- est of glowing praises for and Jim Deason, representative of Cunning- ham and Webb, engineers of De- troit, Mich., Who will do the de- signs for the new plant. In Big Demand DeMaestre explained somewhat and finished knocked-down furni- the operations of the coming new ture for shipment. (Continued on Page 4) over a 10-year period. In addition to, the dam, the trustees instructed Director Van Ferguson to work out plans for dovetailing into the dam con- struction, the building of a high- way to the .dam and a bridge across it. This will come out of Gulf County's share of the secon- dary road funds. The Road De- partment expects to let the bridge contract next month and the dam contract sometime in August or September. Representative Cecil G. Costin, Jr., headed a delegation consisting of G. U. Parker of Blountstown, William Linton, Chairman of the Dead Lakes Commission and Har- land 0.

Brogdon is a long-time resident of Gulf County having come here at the age of 13 from Jackson Coun- ty. He is a tour foreman in the pulp mill at the St. Joe Paper Com- pany and makes his home in We' wahitchka where he raises cattle on a small farm. Brogdon said that after his three years of active service on the school board he is still actively interested in the system. He vowed that if the voters were considerate enough to return him to this important pub- lic office, he would continue to give the school system his attentive, close and serious attention. He pledged that he would continue to assist the Board membership in spending the taxpayers' money as wisely and as carefully as was with- in his power. Boat Club Plans Sunday Cruise The St. Joe Boat Club will take a cruise Sunday up the Intra- coastal Canal to Apalachlcola and back. The group will leave the Fifth Street pier at 10:00 a.m. and will cruise to Apalachlcola where they will eat dinner. The group will cruise back to Port St. Joe Sun- day afternoon. Attend Funeral J.

Firemen Coached On Aircraft Fires The Port St. Joe Volunteer Fire Department received instruction at Tyndall Air Force Base, Thursday, July 17. On this date, Tyndall was host to fire departments of sur- rounding cities in Northwest Flor- ida whose cities are in the light pattern of Tyndall aircraft. Fire- men from Tallahassee, Chattahoo- chee, Quincy, Wewahitchka, Pana- ma City, Pleasant Hill and P'ort St. Joe were in attendance. The course of instruction dealt with plane iden- tification and the proper method of shutting off all power on jet planes. Most instruction was on the pro- per manner to release the pilot from the plane. All jets have auto- matic ejectors for the pilots to be ejected from his disabled aircraft, and if a plane crashes and the pilot is still in the craft this presents a problem of getting the pilot out without further harm to the pilot and also without harming the would-be rescuers. Chief Biggs, Tyndall's fire chief advised all attending to assume that a craft that crashed in our area is armed with some sort of missile or rockets or possible both. He warned the firemen to proceed rescue work with caution. He also advised that these weapons must be fired in order to do the job they are intended to do, but with heat from a fire an explosion of great (Continued on Page 4) Bainbridge Man Says Sea Port "Must" For Developing River Ports At a special meeting of the di- rectors of the Chamber of Com- merce and members of the Harbor Development Committee and Indus- trial Development Committee, E. J. Willis, President of the Bainbridge Chamber of Commerce and Deasy Rahn, Bainbridge Port Authority Director explained how Bainbridge developed their water facilities, and how they established the first terminal on the Three Rivers Sys- tem. They told of the plans for fu- ture development of this system. Plans are being made to build dams to insure a proper water level on the Three Rivers' System. Their reason for being in Port St. Joe, was the need for a deep water sea- port.

Frank Chandler Resigns From City Commission In a letter to The Sta- t.'is week, City Commissioner Franklin W Chandler made public the fact that he was resigning his position. as City Commissioner for the City of Port St. Joe. Chandler's letter said, in pawt: "It is with deep regret that I am tendering my resignation as City Commissioner of Port St. Joe. Because I have accepted a position with Marathon Southern Corporation I am no longer able to continue in my position as City Commissioner. "I have enjoyed living in Port St. Joe for the past 20 years and serving on the commission for six of the past eight years. I am still deeply interested in the welfare of the people there and if I may ever be of service to you in the future please let me know." Home Form Hospital John Clements is now home from the hospital following major sur- the Port St. Joe Chamber of Com- merce, said at this point that Port St. Joe, with its deep water har- bor, is a natural to fit into this system. The need for the deep water sea- port is to attract traffic through the Bainbridge Port from South America, West Florida.and the Gulf coast states, and the West. IBoth Mr. Willis and Mr, Rahn agreed that Port St. Joe looked like the deep water port that was need- ed. Mr. Willis noted that a deep wa- ter sea port would greatly increase the barge traffic and tonnage thru Bainbridge. In making their origin- al report on the feasibility of a spoxit at Banlibridge, they stated that they expected 37,000 tons to be shipped through the port. Mr. Willis reported that in the year ending June 1958, 75,428 tons were shipped through the port or more than double that which they anti- cipated. It might be pointed out that the port hasn't been in opera- tion but for a short while. It was noted that this total could have been increased, had there been suf- ficient storage warehouses avail- able. These warehouses are sche- duled to be built shortly. Mr. Rahn said that he expected 173,000 tons to be shipped through the port this year. In developing the Three Rivers System, additional dams are re- quired to maintain water level throughout the system. Upon com- pletion of same, would open ports of Columbus and Augusta. It is an- ticipated that these two will be in operation within ten years. Further necessitating the deep water out- let here in Port St. Joe. The Port Development Commit- tee of the Chamber of Commerce is going to work closely with the Port Authority of Bainbridge to further develop the Three Rivers System with Port St. Joe as the sea water port for the system. Mr. Willis suggested that a city, county planning board be formed. That the city set up a zoning plan. He noted that cooperation of the City Council, the County Commis- sioners and the Chamber of Com- merce is essential. "Cooperation is the key to action", he said. William (Bill) Roemer Opposes Clyde Brogdon _ William (Bill) Roemer, Sr., qual- ified Monday of this week to seek election as School Board member from District One, opposing mem- ber Clyde Brogdon, who is seeking re-election. Roemer makes his home in Hon- eyville where he is very active in the Methodist Church. He came to Gulf County in 1946 and is employ- ed in the machine shop of the St. Joe Paper Company. Roemer was born in Germany and came to America to make his home in 1925, when he was 21 years of age. This is Roemer's first try for pub- lic office. The candidate said that frankly he wasn't too familiar at this time with all the many details handled by the School Board. He said that he will do his best, thru hard work to better the school pro- gram, teacher standards and econo- my in school operation. "I am not criticizing the way the schools are run now," said Roemer, "But I be- lieve that the schools, as well 'as anything else, can't get so good that they can't stand improve- ment, and this is what I will work i for." gery. He is improving slowly but steadily. He would like for his friends to visit him. NUMBER 43 I c - ---- - TAR, Prt t.

Planting Improved Permanent Pastures Good, improved permanent pas tures are a must in a modern cat- tle operation. Cattle must have roughage and improved pasture grasses are one of our best and cheapest sources of roughage. So It will pay you to evaluate your pasture-cattle situation thor- oughly now. If you need more per- manent pastures, the warm, moist summer months are good periods to start a new pasture. But be sure to plan your procedure carefully before planting. You need to give special consid- eration to pastures you establish by sprigging-such as Pangola, Bermuda and other Southern grass pastures. Attention to six points will help you do a better job of pasture es- tablishment: First, be sure you have a source of strong, live planting material. The best way to do this is to plant your own small increase nursery. Of course, you would have to do this about a year before you plan to use the sprigs. In planting such a nursery, se- lect the most favorable site, but avoid old crop land where weeds are a problem. One acre can plant 100 acres of pasture if you plant at two or three different dates. Fertilize your nursery liberally, but don't use too much nitrogen. Second, lime and fertilize the new pasture properly at planting. Follow proven recommendations for applications of these materials. Third, make your planting by sprigging in moist soil, during the period when it rains frequently. Plant the sprigs as deeply as pos- sible, but be sure that the tips are exposed. You can plant with a disc harrow or special planters. For the fourth point, delay graz- Ing the newly planted pasture for awhile, until the new sprigs begin to grow. The young plants need time to become established and develop an extensive root system. Fifth, if weeds grow up before the grass, use a mowing machine or chemicals to eliminate thia cost- ly competition. Finally, be sure to add nitrogen as the new pasture becomes estab- lished to keep it growing rapidly. After about two months, apply about 100 pounds of ammonium ni- trate or 200 pounds of sodium ni- trate. Remember, rapid establishment of'your new pastures means quick- er dollar returns from grazing them.

Once Indian ter- ritory, many Indian burial mounds and other traces of early Indian occupation have been found here. The very name Okaloosa comes from the Choctaw language meaning "black water." Except for timber cutting, the scenic beauty remains untouched in the county's interior, with the tourist trade found only on the coastal beaches. In progressive Okaloosa County, and throughout Florida, the United States Brewers Foundation works constantly to assure the sale of beer and ale under pleas- ant, orderly conditions. Believing that strict law enforce- ment serves the best interest of the people of Florida, the Foundation stresses close cooperation with the Armed Forces, law enforcement and governing officials in its continuing "self-regulation" program.

GLENN BOYLES National Institutes of Health Bethesda, Md. DEAR SUNSHINERS: In the effort to find a subject or today's column, somehow, my thot turns to traveling. Maybe it's con- nected with my traveling home re- cently and back here again. No doubt the deep desire to travel home again tomorrow, for keeps is also in the limelight. It is our plan and hope to do this about December this year. It's a wonderfully refreshing thought. Will you think along with me on :his subject of traveling? You'll agree 'traveling' is a tre- mendous and most important activi- ty and industry in this country and the world. It's far SLoo big to Cover in 1 a small column i and we'll only try to hit a few high "' and low spots. Wre might think First of the ways, ,- means and rea- s A sons for travel. ,B M oa the ground in the air -. on BOYLES'" the deep, distant waters, even underneath the ground for business pleasure and sundry reasons. An endless stream of humanity surges in and out . and on airports, railroad sta- tions, bus stations and highways. A good birds eye view would prob- ably look like millions of bees working in a hive, or industrious ants hauling in their food supply. It is, indeed, a whopping business as well as an interesting and edu- cational adventure for all mankind. Even the lonely foot traveler con- tinues his weary trudge, trusting and looking for a lucky lift towards his destination if he has one. All the risks and dangers in travel- ing are submerged by the desires and necessities to get some place as fast as possible. In the process it's a startling and sobering fact to see the death toll continue to rise and it behooves each traveler to exercise the utmost safety pre- cautions on all occasions. Our own traveling has been limited to rela- tively short distances and mostly> in the eastern part of the U. S. While it has always been unduly tiresome to this writer It has also been filled with interest and ad- venture most of the time. We have many pleasant memories of vaca- tion trips and visits to our native states (,North Carolina and Virgin- ia), along with some thoughts of 'the difficulties involved. The best trips were when the family quartet was present. A foursome, at least, is desirable in many of life's exper- iences including pleasure and busi- ness sometimes two's a com- pany! Traveling alone is not always conducive to one's pleasure even when necessary. In a car it's a fine advantage to have the second dri- ver when the distance is several hundred miles. This occurred re- cently when the wife and I left home on July 8 and arrived in Maryland the evening of the 9th with an overnite stop at Columbia, S. C. It's peach and watermelon time in Ga. and S. C. and my wife was tempted at every roadside stand and truck bargain prices . we're still feasting on these de- licious fruits of the sun, tree and vine,. even peach preserves. The cooler weather farther north added lo the pleasure and comfort of the journey. Now, we know that one can get worn out, annoyed, stuck; busted and disgusted traveling. In fact we got stuck on the first eve- ning meal and my (Scotch) wife suggested w. ecould get a better- deal by negotiating the main meal at noon with a burger or frank in the evening. Now, those of you -who insist on the main evening meal well, you'll pay the price and take a greater risk (is our opinion) Anyway you take it tra- vieing has its goods and bads. May- be one of the worst parts is just being absent from home, friends and seeing only strange faces from all walks of life. You'll note on a plane, train or bus the tired, anxious, maybe sad faces, while others are eager, happy and glad. For some, travel- ing is commonplace for others it's a novel adventure filled with interest and pleasure. Some are traveling of a sad necessity and others make their livelihood tra- veling. Truly, it's a big business. Some travelers may be just gett- ing away from where they were, looking for the proverbial pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Maybe later they return to the doorstep that was left and find far greater satisfactions, riches and rewards just where they had not been seen before. maybe unaware at the beginning of the journey I that the best things of life are Apply for SS Cash not to be found in the air, on the y . highways or seas, in other places |f You're Eligible and distant lands, but in a ' HOME where LOVE reigns su- Individuals under the Florida preme.

Melted" butter or margarine are absorbed by bread and are not recommended for spread- ing; before preparing sand- wiches, make fillings and gar- inishes, refrigerating them if 'necessary; wrap sandwiches individually to prevent flavors or fillings from mingling. It may sound unbelievable, ;but there are recipes for ghost burgers, sweetheart sandwich- ies, and clown, sailboat and top 'hat sandwiches. To make your FOOD 4th of July complete, there is the firecracker roll sandwich. The ingredients of this list- as you might imagine-are far too numerous to list. Americans large, medium and small-will eat one billion, five hundred million meals outdoors in 1958. In their picnic pursuits, they will consume 10% billion buns during the current year-and just about that many hamburg- ers and hot dogs. And all this is in addition to the 40 million loaves of bread sold each day, and to the mil- lions of pounds of pies, cakes, cookies, cereals and crackers. These figures come from E. E. Kelley, Jr., president of the American Bakers Associa- tion, who has a firm belief that outdoor eating, whether it be strictly a family affair or one including company, helps build family and community relations.

He re- ported that his firm had always been able to sell all they could pro- duce in their other plant in St. Louis, Michigan, with a guarantee that they could sell more if it was available. He told the Chamber that MCC had examined the coast from Port St. Joe to Texas and found Port St. Joe to be best suit- ed to their needs. DeMaestre had nothing but high praises for the friendly at- mosphere that he and his people had encountered in Port St. Joe. "This definitely had a deciding power in our decision to build in Port St. Joe. We like to do busi- ness where we are wanted. And we feel that we are wanted here." DeMaestre said that the new plant will employ about 60 people when it first goes into operation and about 90 to 100 when it is ex- panded in another two years. "Most of the labor will be local people trained by .the company with about a half dozen key trainee men brought in from other area-, said DeMaestre. The Chamber wined and dined representatives of the two manu- facturing concerns on mullet, cole slaw, pickles, bread and coffee. Ed Smith Reports On Key Club Meet Ed Smith, Key Club President at the Port St. Joe High School gave tha Kiwanis Club a report on the Key Club National Convention held in Chicago recently. The local club had sent Smith to the week long convention. Smith gave the club an insight on the enormity of the convention by saying that it would be impos- sible for anyone to attend all the meetings. Smith said that the Con- vention was well attended by all sections of the U. S. and was very informative in the work of Key Club activities. The convention started at 10:00 a.m., Monday, July 7 and lasted un- til Friday. He gave descriptive ac- counts of the trip to Chicago and back and also told of some of the sights the boys" had seen in the "Windy City". Smith staid that on the Key Club- bers last night at the convention, members of the convention staged a talent show. He said that actress Kim Novak was on hand to kiss the winners and "broke up the show". 'Visitors at the club meeting Tuesday: Bill Cowden of Port St. Joe; Fritz Varm of Chatom, Ala.; Bill Depford, Leland Frye, Albert Logan, Sam Pittick and Otis Pad- gett, all of Marianna. -- - Classified Ads Midget Investments With Giant Returns THE STAR PHONE 7-3161 WALL ELECTRIC COMPANY, FOR EXPERT Electrical Repairs and Contracting ( DIAL BA 7-4331 C SEE THEM AT BUZZETT'S- SDRUG STORE. THE STAR, Port St. Joe, Fid. Rotary Told of Need For Port The Port St. Joe Rotary Club heard from a well-informed out- sider what has been talked about here for the past 25 years-that the greater part of Port St. Joe's future lies in the development of her fine natural harbor for ship- ping facilities. E. J. Willis, of Bainbridge, Ga., pleaded with the Rotary Club and Port St. Joe to develop its harbor for the handling of foreign shipping and for a transfer point for river traffic in freight. "We have the fa- cilities to handle the river traffic and the customers wanting to ship" Willis said. "All we need is a deep water sea port to take in foreign and long distance freight for the transferring to river vehicles." This is what Willis wants Port St. Joe to do-develop its port for wate.- freight and act as a terminal for river and sea traffic to and from Bainbridge, Ga., and other inland ports due to be constructed on the Three River's System. Willis said that our port and deep water were our "ace in the hole" to''future greatness. "Peopile beginning to realize that there is a definite need for cheap vater transportation, and the swing to this method of drayage is greater every day". Willis said that water traffic carries big loads cheaply and therefore is in.demand. He stat- ed that competition is keen for wa- ter transport and getting keener and the best route will get the trade. Willis said that the Bain- bridge, even though not in full op- eration, had already more than doubled the tonnage it was expect- ed the port would handle. Guests of the club were B. R. Hawks, Brewton, Ala.; Hub Robin- son, Evergreen, Al'a.; B. S. Gordon, Panama City; Marty Begley, Rich- ard Porter and Harry Saunders of Port St. Joe. ---- -- - JOB PRINTING THE STAR PHONE 7-3161 WEDDINGS Our Hallmark Cards to congratulatee the bride and groom say "you care / enough to send the very/ best."
