Our Country -~" Right or Wrong

TWO FRONTS
From The Industrial News Review
THE UNITED STATES must fight on two
fronts.
First, there is the military front. Ameri-
can soldiers, sailors and airmen are fighting
and dying in the Pacific. They are living up
to the highets traditions of this nation's mili-
tary history. They must be given the finest
battle equipment in the world, and they must
be given it in lavish quantity. All the re-
sources of this nation, human and material
alike, must be used to that end.
Second, there is the home front-and part
of that home front is right here in Port St.
Joe. We have said, time and again, that we
are .fighting to defend and perpetuate free-
dom. .That is true. But the defense of free-
dom at home, as on the war front, demands
more than lip service. It demands straight
thinking from all. It demands a people who
will look squarely at the facts, no matter
how unpleasant they may be. 'It demands the
kind of, national toughness that knows pre-
cisely what we are fighting for, and that will
permit nothing to stand in the way of vic-
.tory on the home front no less than the
military front.
There is nothing dramatic about these
statements. They are simply homely truths.
The winning of this war-and the winning of
the peace that follows--will depend on how
well the American people understand them.
There has never been such unity as this
country has at present. Every Americani
stands solidly behind the president in the
peldge to wage war until international gang-
sterism is destroyed. The spirit of the na-
tion is one of grim, uncompromising determi-
nation. But let all remember that the home
front is as vital to war and to the perpetua-
tion of our way of life as the battlefront.
There will be subversive influences on both
fronts. Only an awakened, aware people can
prevent their depredations.
We fight for freedom, then. And we must
fight for it all the way-fight for it here
in America, no less than in the broad reaches
of the oceans and the lands beyond.

The world's best inventive brains have
pushed us ahead with wonderful strides the
past 50 years. Now the Japs, the Germans
and the Italians are trying to set the world
back 150 years.

The editor of The Star is saving rubber
by cutting down his fishing trips from four
or five a week to one a month-and if that
ain't sacrificing we don't know what is!

A Port St. Joe grass widow says a bache-
lor is a hardboiled rat who has cheated some
good woman out of a divorce with alimony.

rest of the nation digs out of its snow banks.

Buy Defense Bonds and "Ax the Axis"!


COST OF VICTORY HIGH
Big and important figures describe this
country's need in men, materials and money,
according to a rough outline drawn by the
army and navy.
Briefly, the picture is this: The army will
need an aiir force of 2,000,000 men; a heavily
mechanized land army of around 7,000,000
men; a navy of 1,100,000 men, including the
air force; a huge merchant marine to trans-
port and to supply forces in operation, just
about twice the size of that originally
planned. The cost in dollars to the United
States will be approximately $150,000,000,000.
Those figures are far from being trans-
lated into reality, but they paint a picture
of what the U. S. citizen must do. The im-
mediate purchase of defense bonds and
stamps will prove a starter toward building
this great fund, and it is the duty of every
citizen.
Starting tomorrow there will begin a new
drive designed to treble throughout Florida
the sale of defense bonds and stamps. The
campaign will seek from every citizen a
pledge specifying an amount than can be in-
vested regualrly for this purpose.
This is an appeal that every Floridian
should heed, for in doing so, not only does
the individual help provide those war sinews
needed so urgently by the nation, but by tak-
ing advantage of this safest investment in
the world he provides substantially for his
own future as well.
The new campaign will require indivkidhl
sacrifices beyond anything we have experi-
enced hitherto. So for the honor of Florida,
which already holds an enviable stamp and
bond purchasing record among the states,
and for the cause of America's freedom, don't
fail to do your part!
The cost of victory will be high. It is the
duty and the privilege of every American to
help pay for it.

WEATHER REPORT
For the duration of the war, weather re-
ports have been cancelled due to the fact that
they might give vital information to the
enemy. So the Brighton, Mass., Citizen car-
ried the following "weather report":
"For Japan and vicinity: Heavy showers ot
bombs, with scattered clouds of planes, prob-
ably followed by parachutes, a rapidly gathet-
ing cold anger, starting in the United States
coastal regions and spreading throughout the
United States is moving toward the west
with increasing speed.
"Long range prediction: Complete inun-
dation of Japanese islands, followed by tidal
wave destroying military crops in Germany
and Italy."

LET'S START WALKING
No more tires for the old jaloppy. And
what's more, no more new jaloppies.
What are we going to do about it? Be
patriotic and start walking for a change. It
will do us good. Most of us are getting too
soft anyway, through too much easy living.
We need a little exercise, and walking places
instead of driving will do more than give us
exercise and toughen up those .flabby muscles
-it will make us grit our teeth, cuss the
Japs and serve to prepare us for other sacri-
fices that are sure to come in the future.

The family bar of soap will be one of the
war's casualties. There will always be soap
(we hope) but shortage of imported oils,
principally coconut, will keep a lot of foam
out of the American washtub.

- Economy is the one best bet toward solv-
ing the grim March 15 income tax sn r''t,,
looming up in the distance.

SOLDIERS CAN TRAVEL ABOUT
COUNTRY WITHOUT MONEY

A soldier can travel the length
and breadth of the country with-
out a cent of cash under a new
plan recently adopted by the quar-
termaster corps.
SThe plan, through the issuance
of meal tickets to small groups or
individuals, insures the soldiers
plenty of food while traveling, as
each ticket is, good for $1.00 per
meal in dining cars and 75 cents
in restaurants. The tickets are is,
sued by the quartermaster of the
post or camp at which the soldier
is stationed and. specifies the
route and destination of travel.
The tickets will be cashed by
the 'finance officer named on the
ticket when mailed, to him. This
plan takes the place of the old
system of giving soldiers money
with which to ibuy; food while
traveling and insures-That the sol-
diers will be well fed, as the
tickets can not be exchanged for

When Acid Indigestion, Gas on
Stomach or Heartburn make you
feel uncomfortable or embarrass
you, try Alka-Seltzer, which con-
tains alkalizing buffers and so
helps counteract the associated
Excess Stomach Acidity.
But the relief of these minor
stomach upsets is only a small
part of what you can expect
Alka-Seltzer to do for you. You
will find it effective for Pain Re-
lief in Headache, Neuralgia, Colds
and Muscular Aches and Pains.
It contains an analgesic, (sodium
acetyl salicylate), made more
prompt and effective in its pain-
relievlng action by alkaline buffer
salts.
When hard work or strenuous
exercise make you feel tired and
dragged out, enjoy the refresh-
ing effect of a glass of sparkling,
tangy Alka-Seltzer.

DOn'T WASTE


Use All the Sugar You Like... But Don't Waste It


If that third spoonful of sugar remains
In the bottom of the cup use only
two the next time.

If the waste of sugar be eliminated there will be plenty for
all our wants and needs


The Government has wisely taken steps to insure sugar at
reasonable price to the consumer. In this war there will be no
repetition of "two pounds a week at 30 cents a pound".


Supplies on hand plus those which may be expected to arrive
safely in the country will care for all our needs during the
near-term future. Should the war continue, it is reasonable to
expect that limitations and restrictions on home produc-
tion will be removed and thus permit provision of facilities
to meet our needs.
