Tire Rationing

Board Is Named

In Gulf Count

'Names Will Go to State Board ai
To Washington for Final
Confirmation

George Tapper, chairman of tt
,Gulf County Defense Council, i:
:formed The Star yesterday th,
the names of three men had bee
sent to state headquarters to ac
as members of a Gulf county at
tomobile tire rationing board. Th
names of two alternates were als
-sent in in case one or more.
the first three named could n<
act as members of thle board.
While the names of those ai
pointed were given The Star, it i
not deemed advisable to public
them until final appointments ar
made, probably next week. Thi
Is a most important assignment
and the members will work witl
the chairman of industry and me
terlal resources, who is Basil E
Kenney.
-The board, primarily will be
charged with the, responsibility o
rationing automobile tires to civil
lan users, but later on this board
doubtless will be called upon t(
Handle the rationing of other es
aential supplies.
As stated last week in The
Star, no new automobile tires or
tubes may be sold before next
Monday, January 5, and after thai
date. they can be sold only to per-
sons holding certificates issued by
the local rationing board, and; their
job will be very largely that of is-
suing certificates for tires for
commercial vehicles necessary for
the maintenance of industrial ef-
ficiency and civilian health.
Included under this head: will be
vehicles required for the mainten-
ance of public safety and health;
passenger transportation equip-
ment, exclusive of private passen-
ger cars; and a limited' group of
essential truck operators. Sales of
new tires to owners of private
passenger cars will b- virtually
prohibited for the present. Con-
trols are also being developed
over the sale of retreaded, tires
and the retreading of tires.

Scouts Will Collect

Waste Paper Here

Collections To Be Made Twice
Monthly; Everyone Urged
To Co-operate

The Pensacola Council of the
Boy Scouts of America has re-
que'sted that the Port St. Joe troop
join in the national waste paper
collection campaign now under-
way.
As waste 'paper in small com-
munities does not mount up fast,
it has been decided to set aside
nrery other Friday, starting Janu-
ary 9, for the collection. Any per-
son or firm having a quantity) of
waste paper on hand is asked to
call City Clerk M. P. Tomlinson at
the city hall, leaving their name
and address. The Scouts will then
call for the. paper.
Newspapers, magazines and card-
boardi boxes are the main items to
be saved. Wax papers, tissues and
tinsel are not acceptable. The re-

this week was that funds had been
earmarked to double the present

field's capacity would boost the
cost to $14,000,000.
The gunnery school, which has
provided jobs' for a large number
of workmen in this section, is the
largest of nine being constructed
by the government and all build-
ings are of permanent type.

On City Hospital

Congressman Sikes Assures Mayor
Sharit That Project Will Be
Given Approval

Rumors have been rife ont the
streets of the city that work on
the Port St. Joe municipal hos-
pital, a WPA-city project, would
be discontinued since no fur-
ther funds were available.
Right now The Star wants to
put a quietus on such rumors, for

It is true that the authority un-

Port St. Joe and Gulf county
joined with the rest of the south-
eastern United States Monday
night in the first large-scale test
blackout, which was ordered by
the Third Interceptor Command:.
As the fire siren atop the Flor-
ida Bank building wailed and the
whistle at -the St. Joe. Lumber &
Export company blew at 10:30
Monday night, it seemed as, though
a huge blanket had been thrown
over this city and its environs.
Within the first minutR of the
five-minute warning period the
street lights blinked, out, neon
signs and lights in store windows
were cut off, the brilliantly lighted
facade and lobby of the Port the-
ater was darkened,, lights in resi-
Iences were extinguished and au-
tomobiles. on\ the streets either
dashed for home or pulled off to
the side of the road and extin-
guished their headlights.
I And as the siren wos shut off
and the mill whistle ceased its
mournful tooting there W as only a
full moon and the stars in clear
sky looking down on our blacked
out little city. The stress were
dese-rted, for -ev ryo.,, -;.. part of
the rehearsal, hid b.en ordered to
seek shelter. The moving picture
show continued, but no one was
allowed to leave the theatre dur-
ing the 30-minute blackout period.
At 11 o'clock came the short
wails of the fire siren and the stac-
cato, blasts of the mill whistle
ending the blackout with the "all
clear" signal, andl lights, again
were turned on by citizens who
had gotten a taste of wartime con-
ditions.
Air raid wardens stationed about
the city to check on lights reported
compliance almost .100 per cent
perfect. One warden stated that a
woman driving a car refused to
turn off the headlights, and con-
tinued driving after being issued
a warning. Non-co-operation of this
sort is decidedly unpatriotic and
unAmerican and in case of an ac-
tual war-time blackout would en-
danger the lives, of everyone In
the vicinity.

Our Country "-7 Right or Wrong

INTO THE NEW YEAR
IT IS with mingled feelings that we enter
this New Year of our Lord 1942-a year
that probably will be the most momentous
in the history of our nation, if not the world.
As we contemplate the events and trends
of the past three years, while we set foot on
the threshold of a new year, we realize that
men have never known toward what the
world was moving, despite their statements
that it was moving in this, that or the other
direction. No one can foresee what will oc-
citr in the' futtire. The past stands in the path-
of the present. Civilization has not changed
so greatly as we may imagine. There is hardly
any stage in world history when the same
state of things were not flourishing in the
same degree, and even in approximately the
same forms. Human nature does not change.
Much has been lost to the world in the past


three years, but much that is valuable has
been gained. Let us resolve not to lose sight
of these invaluable lessons as we progress
toward the realization of those aims and
ideals for which we strive during 1942. *\Ve
are not so selfish and materialistic as we were
less than a month ago-the common bond of
war has changed that. If we can retain our
idealism and humanitarianism as we push the
war to a successful conclusion we shall be
better men and women and we shall be more
deserving of the good things we all hope to.
achieve when this time of peril is over.

For the benefit of amateur strategists who
claim they can win the war overnight, we
would like to point out that distances on the
Pacific are vast-we know, for we used to
live in that neck o' the woods. For instance,
Manila is 6,221 miles from San Francisco and
more than 4000 miles from Honolulu. It is
only 1860 miles from Tokyo; about 1000 miles
from Saigon, and about 600 miles from For-
mosa where lie large Japanese land and sea
bases. The Philippines are-believe it or not
-a group of 7,083 islands and have -a coast-
line which is as long as our .Atlantic shore
from Bath, Me., to Miami,- Fla., plus the dis-
tance from Seattle, Wash.,..to. San.-Diego,
Calif.-a grand total of 10,850 miles.

Conserve your waste paper! Port St. Joe
Boy Scouts will call on you for it. From it
may be made paperboard boxes needed for
defense.

are wishing for you now. Loads of good luck,
loads of good cheer, and good health to you all.
