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. Flowers are blooming in Florida as the rest of the nation digs out of its snow banks. When he is freshly plastered and she is freshly painted, they don't need a decorator. 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.

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.

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.

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.
