THE STAR "Port St. Joe-The Outlet Port for the Apalachicola-Chattahoochee Valley" TWENTY-SEVENTH YEAR PORT ST. JOE, FLORIDA, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 12, 1963 NUMBER 13 HISTORICAL FLOAT-Pictured above is the float entered in Saturday's parade by the Gulf County Historical Commission. The float depicted the signing of Florida's first constitution. Riding the float, acting out the part of the signers were, J. Lamar Miller, Jake Belin, Silas R. Stone, Charles B. Smith, Paul S. Fensom and W. C. Roche. Roche is the descendant of one of the signers of the constitution. -- photo Huge Crowd Enjoys Activity Of "Constitution Day" Here w *y Over 5,000 people turned out on crowds moved to the Centennial a cold, wiidy overcast day Satur- Building to observe "Constitution day to witness one of the finest Day" observances of speeches, a Christmas parades put on in Port free fish fry, horse show and band St. Joe. concerts.

There were many other fine floats in the parade that made the judging difficult, such as the American Legion's replica of the battleship USS Maryland, with the theme of remembering Pearl Har- bor Day. Speeches At the Centennial Building, Con- gressman Bob Sikes and Governor Farris Bryant made the featured addresses of the day. Sikes asked cooperation with President Johnson in carrying out his job as our new President. He pointed out that Johnson could be a great president if he would be president "in his own name". He urge stronger opposition to the "Civil Rights" bill. Sikes praised the efforts of Gov- ernor Farris Bryant in seeing the .realization of work starting on the Cross State Barge Canal and sug- gested that the new canal be nam- ed after Bryant. Governor Bryant pointed to the losing of state control over matters in this day. He stated that those who drew up the first Constitu- tion certainly disagreed on certain items, but they worked out their differences in a document to be governed by. The Governor said, "it is up to civilized people to take their differences to the con. ference table and not to violent action or war if the world of free- dom is to survive", FIRST PRIZE WINNER-Above is the first prize winning float of Vitro Services in the Christmas parade Saturday, depicting the spirit of Christmas.

Post Office Sets Long Hours for Christmas Postmaster Chauncey Costin nounced this week that the local post office would be open on Sat- urday afternoon, December 14 and December 21 (normal closing time for Saturday is 12 noon) to give patrons this additional'" time to make their Christmas mailings and to avoid the congestion which would necessarily occur on the fol- lowing Monday. Costin further stated that there would be no mail delivery on any Sunday between now and Christmas except for spe- cial delivery and perishable mat- ter. He stated, however, that mail would be distributed to post office boxes and be dispatched on Sunday as usual. Mail Volume Up Costin said the .number of par- cels being received at the local post office is in excess of the num- ber recorded for the same period last year and also Christmas cards were beginning to be mailed in substantial numbers which would indicate that local patrons are co- operating in the "Shop,and mail early campaign". Shopping and mailing early benefits everyone, the postmaster observed. Custom- ers who buy early get the pick of the Christmas stocks; the local economy is aided by the business activity created, and everyone-in- cluding the postal service-is hap- py about the additional time that early mailings allow. Early mailing also gives us time to get gifts and cards in the hands of addresses in good condition with less chance of damage or delay due to human er- ror. The postmaster also encouraged the use of ZIP Code in both return and destination addresses to fur- ther speed delivery.

"Little Taxpayers" Asks Court for Intervention The petition to call an election to decide on the question of whe- ther or not to re-locate the Gulf county seat, moved into the courts last Thursday. The petitioners for the election secured a Writ of Mandamus is- sued by Judge Robert McCrary of Marianna. The Writ, in effect, re- quires the County Commission to show cause why they have not yet called the election to decide the question. The petitioners secured the Writ feeling that the Commission has had more than ample time to verify the legality of the petition and call for the election. The petition is signed by Tom S. Coldewey, Robert B. Fox, C. G. Costin, Sr., and Roy F. Irwin as qualified taxpayers and electors of real or personal property in Gulf County. Another Group Intervenes On Monday of this week the "Little Taxpayers" asked the court for permission to join into the suit and defend the action of the Coun- ty Commission in holding off call- ing the election. Their intervention documents were signed by Claude Lister, Felton Smith, Forrest Rev- els, Harold Canning and Charles Morgan, all of Wewahitchka. 'Judge McCrary granted the "Lit- tle Taxpayers" the right to inter- vene. Originally Judge McCrary order- ed the County Commission to, ap- pear before him today to answer the Writ of Mandamus. After in- tervention of the Wewahitchka group, he delayed the appearance date to next Friday morning at 9:00 a.m., CST, at the County Court House. Gaskin Advises County Attorney David Carl Gaskin reported to the County Commission on Tuesday of this week of happenings concerning the Writ of Mandamus and the pe- tition to intercede. He also advised them of the new hearing date. He then advised the Board to have ready on December 20, their mas- ter list of tax paying electors of Gulf County to check the petition for validity. The meeting next Friday will bring the arguments of both sides before the Judge who will then de- cide if unnecessary delay has been effected by the County Commis- sion and will then probably in- struct them in their steps-to be taken. High School PTA To Meet Tonight The Port St. Joe High School PTA will meet tonight in the High School Auditorium at 8:00 p.m. The devotional will be sung by the High School Glee Club. After a short business session, the students will present this month's program.

The final skit will be a group of senior students who will discuss, 'The Question of Post High School Training". Attendance by the parents at the first two meetings of the school year have been very good. With the fine programs that have been prepared and the ones that will be offered throughout the rest of the school year, it is hoped that the membership will continue to grow.

THE STAR, Port St. Joe, Fla. THURSDAY, DECEMBER 12, 1963 How About Some Help for the President? Before the Pensacola, Florida, city council came a reso- liution authorizing the city manager to apply for a Federal grant to pay about one-third of the cost of a sewage-treat- ment works. One councilman immediately moved that the resolution be rejected because "all of us talk about the high cost of Federal Government and all of us talk about how they should curtail expenses I can't in all conscience vote for this and then turn around and talk about the excessive expendi- tures of the Federal Government." In reply, another councilman said that "this is all very noble, but we are contributing funds to the Federal Govern- ment and if we don't get our share of it they are going to distribute it to cities all over the United States." This was the view which prevailed, by a six-to-four vote. Which is 0one reason President Johnson is having trouble cutting the edeiral budget. There is a footnote, however. A couple of weeks later came a broader resolution which could have future impact. It asks Florida's Congressmen to pass laws eliminating Fed- eral aid such as grants for sewage projects and reducing Federal aid to municipalities and states generally. It passed, eight to two. This may seem inconsistent, but what it really shows is that in Pensacola as in other places in the nation, more and more people are wondering or worrying about the economics and ethics of the swelling pipelines from Washington. If still more'would do so, it could mean considerable help for the President in his tough task. -Wall Street Journal It would give us great pleasure to see the City Commis- sion of thie-City of Port St. Joe pass just such a resolution and. send it to Washington. It would please us even more to see such a resolution drawn up in model form by our City: Commission and forwarded to the League of Municipalities,' of which the City is a member, urging its circulation and -adoption and suibsei fint sending to Washington by other ci- ties throughout our nation. Such a step could be a beginning of the end of the 50c dollars we receive back from Washing- ton in the guise of "free Ogrants." Just Look Who's Casting Stones of Blame! It has amused us to see the "kindergarten tactics" of some in the placing of the blame in the recent death of Presi- dent Kennedy. Even the so-called "learned" among the politicians have laid the blame for the deed at the doorsteps of the South. on the backs of the "Rightists" and even a few have blamed the Communists (who share more of the so- called "blame" than others). It is sadly amusing to see the leaders of many of our most powerful bodies in the U. S. departing from another of the freedoms that we hold most dear that of a person being innocent until proven guilty (and we suppose this .free- dom would apply to groups as much as individuals). And now, in recent days, the FBI, after a thorough in- vestigation has declared that Oswald and Ruby . were both "loners". Both felt they had a job to do, regard- less-of how distasteful such "jobs" are to civilized human beings. But, getting back to this blame business. Who is to blame? Certainly, I, along with Rev. Neese last week, re- fuse to accept any part of the blame. But, who is to blame? If I were capable of casting such a judgment on someone, I would say that those very ones who are casting the blame aside are guilty those in power. Remembering that Oswald had shed his American citi- zenship and adopted Russian citizenship, who was the "statesman" who pulled the strings allowing Oswald re-enter the U. S., resuming his citizenship. He was an alien. Why didn't he wait his regular turn for immigration like others alien to our nation? What was the system that would allow such strings be pulled?' Find the answers to these questions, and, in our opinion, you will lay the blame (if the blame may at all be laid) at their feet. "Let he who has not sinned cast the first stone ."

(C( LURT SEAL) 4t-11-28 In too many instances these con- cerns are financing through their own offices under dummy financial institutions at exhorbitant interest rates. One specific case that was just handled here in Port St. Joe had the purchaser of a home pay- ing nearly 18 percent on his loan. Recognized financial institu- tions suggest doing your home or home Improvement financing through a government insured agency such as banks, savings and loan or Title I institutions. Of course, there are other legi- timate financial sources such as insurance companies, etc. If your home or home. improve- ment financing is not done thru one of these agencies, it would probably save you a lot of money and a good deal of trouble to in- vest a little money in the ser- vices of an attorney to read your proposed contract and advise you before signing. In one specific instance here in Port St. Joe, a Negro had been sold a home two years ago for $3,- 710.00. He has paid nearly $80.00 a month for two years on the home. Recently he wanted to refinance with a savings and loan institution to lower his payments. When the pay-off of his home was asked for from his financing agency, it was found that it would take nearly $4,200.00 to pay the home off-or $500.00 more than he paid for the home after making payments every month for two years. The services of a lawyer were obtained and legal fees resulted to threaten suit for usury against the concern who then dropped the pay- off value of the home down to $3,- 700 or right back where the man started two years ago. So this experience cost him $80.00 a month for two years, plus a lawyer's fee and he still owes the original purchase price of his home. Incidentally, his payments now, financed over an eight year per- iod rather than the original seven year period is now approximately half his original payment. He is now financing through a legiti- mate financial institution. . This same sort of deal is being worked also. It is worked especially by those concerns who advertise consolidating all your old debts in with your "home improvement" payments. Other gimmicks are charging exhorbitant interest rates for granting a financing period of 10 years for home improvement payments. Government insured institutions, under Title I will grant only a five-year repayment period. -Z-- In one particular instance, a man received a $2,500 addition to his home yet was persuaded to sign a mortgage for $5,000- to stretch his payments over a' 10. year per- iod. This article is being written to warn the public that such activi- ties are going on here in Port St. Joe and to warn the public to in- vestigate before they sign a mortgage for homes or improve- ments.

''ne counsel for the Petitioners area tne ibuar not to lelay tnls umaLer but to maaie a decision to- mignt to call an election to give the people of the County a chance to vote on the question. He assured the Commission that more than enough names were on the peti- tion. bt er te V tb rE C( C( PI ti PI (, The Counsel for the Little Tax Payers informed the Board that an election cannot be called at this time because the list that the Supervisor presented i n c 1 uded names that were not eligible and R gave several other reasons. Commissioner Player suggested that the Board request the Supervi- P sor to prepare an additional list D showing only the names of those ] that registered after August 27, 1963, and that those names not be considered in determining a mas- ter list; that the-Board must as soon after the additional list is presented and begin working on t the master list. He then said he was against tabling this matter, but thought it should be pushed as i fast. as possible. Commisisoner Graham said he thought the Board should continue to work on this matter without de- lay in order to assure the people this Board is doing everything it can in bringing this question to a head. Commissioner McDaniel asked if it would be legal to call an election at this time. Attorney Mayo C. Johnston, answered that it would not be legal. Commissioner McDan- iel then stated that the Board will have to call an election if one is called; that he feels it is going to Court regardless of the way it goes; that his personal feelings are at stake but he has to eliminate these feelings and do as he ought to do even though it is a decision that we must make whether we like it or not, that I am sorry I have to make this motion but to be fair to all the people in the county, I now make a motion that this Board call an election to be held on the same date as the May Primary Election. After receiving no second to this motion the Chair- man declared it dead. After further discussion, Com- missioner Player moved that the Supervisor prepare a supplemental list showing the names of those that were registerde after August 27, 1963, and that this Board meet as soon thereafter, as possible to begin work on a master list to be used in determining the exact number qualified to sign the peti- tion. Motion seconded by Commis- sioner Graham and upon vote was unanimously carried. Whereupon, the Chairman re- quested Mrs. C. G. Rish, Supervi- sor, to prepare the list as per mo- tion and stated that he will con- tact each member the day after the list is filed with him. L. Frank Graddy, Jr., filed the following report: The five General Insurance Ag- ents domiciled in this County have met as per your instructions of November 12, 1963, and the fol- lowing are the unanimous recom- mendations of this group: 1.
