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.

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.

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.
