PR COPYc PtR COPY THE STAR MONEY TALKS-L-et's keep it where.we can speak with it; once in awhile-Trade with your home town merchants! "Port St. Joe-The Outlet Port for the Apalachicola-Chattahoochee Valley" jORT ST. JOE, FLORIDA TWENTY-SECOND YEAR ____W-WUS- 1- % < W <- ETAOIN SHRDLU by Wk i.tEY R. RAMSEY Nobody cbani accuse our dear "Un- cle Sam of being a bully. Our Uncle is far from that. In fact, some nations may' just give him the opposite label. We' wonder if it ever occurred to John Foster :and "Sam Snead" Eisenhower, that the Germans are telling :thblr conquerors just what they will do. As I understand, we are officially still at war with Germany as long as we occupy the nation. We are their 'victors and it would seem to me that itiwould.be up to the U. S.. to do the telling about the status of Berlin and not the lis- tening. Of course, that's just one p"er- son's opinion on the matter. We. noticed in the minutes of the County Commission at their last meeting that the County Board 'talked about the advisability of doing all of the County's purchas- ing that was possible within Gulf County. A more needed resolution, we cannot think of. Between the County and the School Board, over a million dollars of money Is spent by Gulf County each and everyy' year. Gulf county's economy could well use that ex- penditure.. We -especially noted Commission- er Strickland's objections on the grounds that some materials are not readily obtainable in Gulf County and that they should be bought wherever obtainable in or- der to keep things operating. We' agree with Commissioner Strickland that things should be kept running as well as possible. 'But what Mr. Strickland, as well as a. lot of other people, forgets is that Gulf County merchants can order what they 4 .N.. av. In stock just as easily, and in a lot of In- stances, easier, than the County can do so. Gulf County merchants usually have a much more efficient system of ordering, a greater choice of items. and prices, and gelnreally quicker "services than the county can get. We think this should be kept in mind. We don't think any operation of the county would be jeapordized by waiting a few days for something to be ordered. And we believe that should this policy be carried out 100% in Coun- ty buying to keep their dollars in Gulf County, about the second or third time they went back after something, they would find that County merchants would have their particular items in stock. A merchant, no matter where he is, is not going to stock an item or items that he cannot sell. And how Is a County merchant' going to know what the County operations need, unless they re- ceive a chance to supply them? This idea of informing all coun- ty divisions to purchase their needs in the county was shelved until a future meeting, but we hope that it will become an actuality at their next meeting. It will, put a mighty good taste in County merchant's mouths around tax collecting time. We see by the papers where Governor Collins and some of his men are talking about limited in- tegration in Florida to strengthen Florida's assignment law, We don't know about that being such a good idea. In our opinion, the Supreme Court is slowly but surely backing down from its stern actions of last year and the first half of this year. As an example, we see where they are not now saying that their edict said, "schools must integrate" The wording that the Supreme Court is now giving to their edict is, "No school supported by' tax money (public funds) can deny its services to a citizen"-Or words to that effect. This, and the Court's acceptance of Alabama's school placement law, leads us to think that they are going to soften up the pressure in areas where years of inrooted custom are being de molished. (We believe that this is a time to sit tight and wait. GO TO CHURCH SUNDAY S. Annual Chur ence. SCrusade Um w -.-Here -?; FIRE CHIEF CHARLES WALL (right) presents G. F.

Joe and placed Bibles in every room at the Municipal Hospital. Deloy Barineau, of Tallahassee, and a representative of the Gideons came to Port St. Joe last Friday and placed 37 whole Bibles in the hospital. The Gideons place Bibles in pub- lic institutions such as hospitals, hotels, and motels throughout the world. The Bibles are presented free of charge, and are 'paid for by donations made to the Gideon So- ciety, which is made up entirely of Christian laymen. The Gideons made the local pre- sentation at the request of the Port St. Joe Ministerial Alliance. The Bibles were presented in a brief but impressive ceremony at which Mr. Barineau explained the work and mission of the Gideons. Present at the ceremony were: Rev. Harry M. Punt, Rev. Allen R. Price, Rev. C. Byron Smith, Rev. E. L Gilliland, Rev and Mrs Cecil Lundy, Rev. James Hill, Mrs. Richard Saunders, Mrs. R. H. Mc- Intosh, Mrs. George W. Cooper, Mrs. W. M.

You know, it's too bad we didn't lick the living daylights out of the yankees back in the sixties. Things would have been much better now. We would have made a reasonable, even a generous peace, and the reconstruction of both nations would have been orderly and peaceful. Of course, we have made the boogers pay for all of our stuff they busted up, but we would have made friends with them and of them, and the two nations would have stoo dshoulder-to-shoulder against the world in a strong alliance. And everybody knows a strong alliance is better than a mess of a union where one part has no respect for the rights and wishes of the other part. We Confederates, then, would have been better off as an, ally of the US. We would have been eligible for all sorts of aids, grants, giveaways and not-to-be-repaid loans. Good old Uncle Sam would have fallen all over himself to build us some dams, roads, schools, libraries, industrial plants, and most anything else we wanted. We could have charged big rents on air bases, rocket- launching stations, navy yards and Ike's vacation grounds. We could have kept Mr. Dulles brink-walking by day and night, and called for summit meetings every week end or so. 1 We could have had whatever kind of schools we wanted, and our laws would have been the laws we wanted and if Mr. Warren's supreme court didn't like 'em they could lump 'em. In other words, we would have run our business to suit our- selves and the yankees would have paid the bills for us. That's what they are doing all over the world or as much as they can get to. It would have suited the yankees better also. We would have kept our sensible congressmen and senators down south where they wouldn't have interfered with the liberals'. Them there spendthrift yankees could have scattered the taxpayers' mony high, wide and handsome with both hands. Come to think of it, that's what they are doing anyway. -- Pike County, Georgia, Journal Only one thing we would like to add to the above editorial. If we had won in the sixties, we don't think those liberals' could be able to scrape up enough money for loans, grants, etc., by this time to support us in the style we have become accustomed to, had it not been for our sensible Senators and Congressmen. Next War Fatal to All It's official now: World War III definitely would be fatal to mankind. Not that we didn't have a gnawing awareness of it before, but it's been officially proclaimed by a nationwide organi- zation of some 2,200 scientists and engineers of all fields. This organization, the Federation of American Scientists, says that the United States, Russia and Great Britain now have enough nuclear bombs in their assorted stockpiles to. wipe out every person in the world. This, of course, would not be from the explosive effects of atomic bombs alone. We have already been informed that only a paltry 80 to 100 million persons in this country would be killed immediately by an all-out nuclear attack. It is the radiation from these explosions that would really clean up the place. If the aforementioned sundry stockpiles were all set off say the scientists, they would cover the earth with a blanket of radiation intense enough to wipe out all human beings on land. This nation has just celebrated its traditional Thanksgiv- ing. The fact that we were around to celebrate it was reason enough to observe it.

To choose which careers and colleges will be repre- sented, the Council has each pupil who it to attend fill out a form and send it in. From these, speak- ers are chosen to come and lecture on their profession or college. Citizen of the Month Each month the faculty nomin- ates three people from Senior High and three people from Junior High for "Citizen of the Month". The student body then votes for the one of their choice and the winner is announced the following assem- bly. The nominees are students who show good conduct, friendliness, and a willingness to help others. District Convention Approximately two months ago the district Student Council Con- vention was held in Tallahassee at Leon High School. The delegates from Port St. Joe were Sonny Eells and Richard Thompson. A great deal was learned from other schools about an iitra-club council, a hand- book, and making money.

A truly luxurious gift is useful and dur- able; if a gift is useless, it's not a luxury-it's a waste. These gleaming gifts for the sportsman or sophisticate are as durable as they are bcautin-', since they are all made of stain- less steel.

"Your Home Furnished Complete, At Payments You Can Meet" "Why must we have .min- isters? They stay dressed up all the time, read lots of books and make life hard by their preaching. Why should we have preachers anyway?" So spoke a hard-working man re- cently in caustic tones. It is a good question. Why should we have ministers? The New Testament answers this question by stating that God intends for us to have min- isters. The Bible plainly says that God "gave some, apostles; I and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers" (Ephesians 4:11). The Bible also calls it "a good work" (1 Timothy 3:1). In this good work the pastor preaches in the worship services, officiates at weddings and funerals, administers bap- tism and the Lord's Supper, visits the sick, comforts the bereaved, counsels with those who seek his help, guides the young, encourages the a'-ed, and directs the varied activities of the church. He coy-on.'ates with every commnii' r- tl-e workers in ever ' in the church. The pastor is to l:s pc-opje what a shepherd is to his sheep. The Lord Jesus, "that great shepherd of the sheep" (He-A brews 13:20), says to al pas- tors (shepherds) what he said to Peter, "Feed my lambs," "Feed my sheep" (John 21:15- 16). Pastors are moral and spiritual leaders. People ex- pect their pastor to give them help in understanding and liv- ing out what the Bible teaches, both as a pr'eaher and a teacher. The pastor is not a priest to act as a mediator between man and God; only the Lord Jesus Christ can do that. "There is one God, and one mediator be- tween God and men, the man Christ Jesus" (1 Timothy 2:5). The pastor cannot forgive sins, nor can he act as God's agent in the forgiveness of sins, Here again only Christ can act. "Be- ing justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ" (R,-nans 5:1). In dedicated, God called preachers, Baptists have found r"-a who are friends, counsel- (-rs, and guides; men who have fed "the flock of God. taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind; Neither as being lords over God's heritage, but being ensamples to the flock" (1 Peter 5:2-3).

This large group of smart; thrifty Florida shop- Vers, with their common in- terest in trading stamps, can be thought of as a huge "wom- an's club" with membership throughout the state. Of course this "club wom- an" gets wonderful things for her home and family through such favorites as S&H Green Stamps. Through her thrift and diligence she provides "extras" for her family. And although she may seldom think about it, her active sav- ing is enormously good for business in our state. Last year, for example, trad- ing stamp companies pur.

In the light of these facts it would seem that not only Florida women, but every- body in the state can ib thank- ful that the trading stamp is a part of our way of life. ::: This message is published as public information by THE SPEr.RY AND HtUTcINsoN Company, originator 62 years ago of S&H Green Stamps. garding the Board and the Mosquito Control Project Supervisor. Here are some of the details: BULLDOZER PURCHASE Having advertised for bids on a bulldozer, the Board got responses from three firms, one selling Cater- pillar equipment, one selling Allis- Chalmers equipment and one sell- ing International equipment. Without the trade-in, the quota- tions broke down thus: Allis-Chal- mers, $17,292; Caterpillar, $20,300; International, $16,000. Thd Board discussed detail's of the equipment under consideration with Lloyd Whitfield, County Road Superintendent. Result of the dis- cussion was that the Board, having agreed to keep the old bulldozer (a Caterpillar) also decided that (1) because of familiarity with Cater- pillar equipment, (2) interchange- ability of parts, (3) and the good operating record of the Caterpillar bulldozer, to purchase the Cater- pillar equipment. The Board was in agreement that the advantages to be derived outweighed the fact that the Catterpillar bid was he high bid. Commissioner A. J.

Strickland observe that at times delay in getting what was needed immediately made it nec- essary to purchase outside the county. Price said he thought the Board should spell out its purchas- ing policies in detail and put them in writing. Strickland suggested that at a later meeting that matter be considered in detail and that the Board invite interested parties to be on hand for a discussion. Harden's motion received unan- im1ious support. HEALTH CLINIC LEAKS A copy of a letter fro architect Tom Daniel to the Lark Construc- tion Co., both of Panama City, was read to the Board by the Clerk. From the content, it seems that the Board has informed Lark that leaks, that he had promised to cor- rect, but, to date, hasn't, exist in the Wewahitchka Health Clinic.

He made this proposal, he said, in appreciation to people at the southern side of the county for their cooperation on the road, dam, and bridge project. According to Max Kilbourn, County Engineer, that sum will use up approximately one year's county Secondary Road money-or, the 1959-1960 allotment. Chairman Croxton urged the Board to defer any hasty decision that would tie up road funds for one fiscal year in a limited area. He reminded the Board that in the next session of the Legislature it was posisble some change in the applicable law might qualify a num- ber of streets in the county for pav- ing which cannot now qualify. He used his home district, White City, as an example, where, he said, some road building was critically needed but under the present law did not now qualify. Were there a favorable. change in the law, the presumption, naturally would be that Croxton would press for an early correction of some White City street conditions. In the interests of Board har- mony, Strickland withdrew his mo- tion, agreed to table the matter for further deliberation. Streets affected by the Strick- land proposal would be eight streets in Port St. Joe, the Jones Homestead Road, Oak Hill Ceme- tery Road. MOSQUITO POLICY Price presented a list of recom- mendations for the Board to con- sider in arriving at basic policy between the Board and the Supervi- sor o fthe Mosquito Control Pro- gram. The Board accepted the pro- posals, but declined to act until it reviewed them in company with the Supervisor. _------------ .- --. .----, -.. .- -... OPEN DAILY, 2:46 P.k. ....

Homes for those in low-to-mid- dle income brackets are planned, in a master over-all strategy which includes lakes and lagoons, docks, schools, shopping and civic cen- ters, marina basin, country club and yacht club, sewage disposal plant, an airport and heliport, and a 465-acre Industrial Park. There are 24 miles of highway frontage on U.C. 28. Goldman, whose hobby is look- ing for land and who spends his time roaming half the world in search of it, pointed out this area to Marian Waiss Williams, of Eag- les Nest Point in Belleair, develop- er in Belleair and Belleair Beach. Syndicate This began a syndicate including Clearwater attorney William Wightman, who is also trustee, John Rowe and William Tanney, his law partners; Harold LeMas- ter of 'L & S Bait Company here; Horace Hamlin, Jr., architect; Bet- ty Wickman, wife of well-known "Bob" Wickman of Clearwater; Dr. Crego Smith; Douglas Loeffler, businessman, H. E. Tipton of In- dian Rocks Beach and E. G. Shin- ner, retired Chicago businessman and banker. What proved surprising about this area they bought, six miles south of Port St. Joe and eight miles west of Port St. Joe and eight miles west of Apalachicola, is the fact that this "sleeper" has more facets than the Kohinoor dia- mond, and is worth a lot more. It had no power. It had not much in population and it had no indus- try a little while ago. That .pctur&e has changed. In January of 1957 when the New York Times ran an article titled, "Florida Panhandle, Industry's New Frontier", the public first be- gan to become aware of what was going on. Power is no longer a problem now. Three dams have been com- pleted and a fourth, the Columbia Dam, costing $10,000,000, will be completed in 1961. Florida Power has just brought in lines to service the missile tracking stations (which created a shortage of homes al- ready) and Houston Corporation's much-publicized gas pipeline is in. Industry on the Go ,Industrial development has also started, especially along the water- ways-that of the $5,000,000 Michi- gan Chemical Corp. plant, which is CITIZENS' FEDERAL SAVINGS and LOAN ASSOCIATION of Port St. Joe (Two Years Old December 18, 1958) Enjoys Happy Christmas Thanks to the dear hearts and gentle people of this splendid area of our state CITIZEN'S FEDERAL has total of more than $1 0oooo, INSURED SAVINGS MONEY Belonging to more than NINE HUNDRED wonderful people In turn, has in safe loans to home and business building owners more than - $900,000.00 in this area SA o CITIZENS' FEDERAL wishes each ds all a joyful Christmas and .3o1/ prosperous New Year Savings received oy the 10th earn from the first--YOU CAN EARN FULL SIX MONTHS PROFIT JUNE 30th CITIZENS EDER AL SAVING w w w wwI~Qi~l~; s~ making magnesium oxide from sea- paying breezes.
