ALLEN WITHDRAWS
FROM COURT RACE

Advised by his physicians that
because of a heart condition it
would be unwise for him to enter
a strenuous political campaign for
a seat on the supreme court bench,
William P. Allen of Tallahassee
has announced that he would
withdraw from the race.
This leaves two candidates for
the seat made vacant through the
announced intention of Justice
Whitfield that he would retire-T.

Dick Tracy Will Be

Seen In Serial Film

Fifteen Chapters of Exciting Ac-
tion For Port Theatre Goers'
Beginning Tuesday

"Dick Tracy vs. Crime, Inc.,"
with Ralph Byrd in the title role,
will start a 15-week run at the
Port theatre on Tuesday, January
27, where it will return every suc-
ceeding Tuesday.
According to the plot, Tracy is
summoned from Washington to
halt the depredations of a master
criminal known as "The Ghost,"
whose signature, after each crime,
is a thumbprint of "Rackets" Rea-
gan, a former crime czar who'was
executed in Sing Sing through the
efforts, of Tracy...
The Ghost is suspected of being
a member of the "Council of Eight'"
a body of citizens organized to rid
New York of Reagan's reign of
crime, but because, through the
genius of a mad' fanatic known as
"Lucifer," he is able to make him-
self invisible at times, he has .thus
far .been able to murder three
members of the Council without
his identity being known.
Dick Tracy embarks upon a long
and perilous campaign to expose
the Ghost by modern scientific
methods of crime deduction.
In the opening chapter the Ghost
demonstrates the full power of his
malevolence by dynamiting a vol-
canic fault in New York harbor
which, but for the bravery and
presence of mind of Tracy, would
destroy the whole city by earth-
quake and tidal wave.

Operators of small craft are ad-

They can co-operate also by re-
porting promptly anything of a
suspicious nature to the proper
authorities, naval officials said.

Our Country Right or Wrong

WALK MORE-SAVE YOUR AUTO!
FROM THE number of cars still scooting
about the streets of Port St. Joe-some
of them at breakneck speed-a lot of people
aren't taking the tire and automobile situa-
tion seriously, which they'll probably regret
later. If people will consider the car and tire
situation sanely, walk more and when they
have to ride, drive at a slower speed, the situ-
atidn should work out all right.
The automobile and tire dealers in Gulf
county, the ones who are really hard hit, are
meeting the situation with sanity and forti-
tude. If the general public co-operates, trans-
portation in this section should not be serl-
ously affected:
The use of second-hand tires and tubes and
retreads. along with such few new tires as
may dribble through the rationing system,
can keep every essential vehicle equipped
with adequate, if not ideal, rubber. Care in
preserving auto usefulenss can keep everyone
who feeds a car equipped with one that will
run. It may rattle, but it will run.
But these goals can be accomplished only.
if everyone follows a policy of driving only
when' necessary. The unnecessary miles you
do not drive this winter will. make it possible
for you to drive necessary miles next sum-
mer, next winter and maybe the following
summer.
Let your repair man keep your tires and
your car in the best possible condition and
you'll still be riding when a lot of other peo-
ple are trying to hitch hike. Another way to
help is not to ask stores to make special
truck deliveries of merchandise. If delivery
truck tires get worn out this year, there may
not be any deliveries next year.
The present severe tire rationing regula-
tions probably will be relaxed to a certain ex-
tent after they have accomplished their pur-
pose of bringing the war home to the aver-
age citizen-but don't count on them being
relaxed much. It is entirely possible that or-
dinary citizens who are not now eligible for
new rubber under any conditions may later
be made eligible to buy when tires are avail-
able and when dire necessity can be proven.
But don't' count on it too strongly.
Most of us use our cars a great deal more
than is necessary,'anyway, and a little walk-
ing isn't going to do us any harm-in fact,
it will do us good. A lot of people have pur-
chased bicycles for getting about town, and
most of them have discovered, much to their
amazement, that the bicycle actually is a more
satisfactory vehicle than an automobile for
going about their business. We may expect
to see a lot more bicycles about town shortly
and this seems to be the answer to the auto-
tire problem as far as use about the city is
concerned.

Nowadays if you want to buy a thing most
tremendously, it might not be a bad idea to
stop and ask yourself seriously-Why? And
-Is it worth what it will cost me? Then, af-
ter .you've settled these questions satisfac-
torily-- take the money and buy Defense
Bonds or Stamps.

Keep smiling-and buy Defense Bonds!


EXPECT SEVERE RATION PROGRAM'
The United States citizen faces a greatly
changed "way of life" for the year 1942, and
possibly several more years. Few citizens
now realize the magnitude their sacrifice
must be to win this war. But they will soon
come to learn how the war affects them di-
rectly, even though they are thousands or
miles from the actual scenes of battle be-
cause of rubber, tin, food and luxury short-
ages, higher prices they must pay for all
goods, immense tax bills they face.
Because of the scarcity of goods we must
look for a severe rationing program that will
make 1932 and '33, when money was scarce,
look like good times. Now money and jobs
are plentiful. Goods are scarce. Tires and au-
tomobiles are now rationed, and it won't be
long before many other things containing
rubber and metal will be rationed.
Biggest reason for this rationing necessity
is not an immediate shortage, but our gov-
ernment's pledge that 50 per cent of the na-
tion's productive effort will go into war
business. And that means .a.big percentage o0
raw materials will no longer be available for
civilian use. It is estimated that the total cost
of this war production will come to $1,000,-
000,000 worth of arms and equipment a week.
More than likely the public may have trouble
porcuring its everyday needs, let alone its
wants.
Here are a few things, in their broader as-
pects, civilians must watch for in the near
future: Rationing of second-hand cars and re-
treaded tires; the mandatory use of governors
on cars to restrict their speed, in order to
save gasoline; a complete .shortage of rub-
ber and elastic goods; a shortage of tin for
29 commercial articles-toys, some musical
instruments, art objects, ornaments and many
household items being among them; a ban on
a majority of aluminum products; an eventual
ban on all kinds of tin and other light metal
containers, so that every person may be get-
ting dentrifices, tobacco, cosmetics and other
merchandise in glass or paper containers; al,
eventual rationing of all kinds of machines
and tools; a drastic rise in the prices of re-
frigerators, washing machines, stoves, air-
conditioning outfits, radios, fishing tackle
and other items; copper, bronze and brass
will be unavailable for ornamental purposes,
screening or piping; a shortage of tea and
canned fish; a restriction on wool, silk and
nylon goods; a rationing of soaps and oils;
smaller and yellower newspapers and maga-
zines.
All this and more is expected to lead to at
least a 20 per cent rise in the cost of living
by next spring, according to Price-fixer Leon
Henderson. But there are ways in which the
average citizen can accept these fates of war
and still maintain a comparatively happy
home and high morale. There will be plenty
of food, and sensible buying and saving can
accomplish much for the family with a low
income. The wheat supply is ample. Chicken
and lamb are selling for less than a year ago
and, in most markets, beef is only a little
higher.
The average family must learn to eat more
stews, cut down on eggs, cheese and cream,
which are being used for our soldiers in great
quantities. The potential supplies of fruits
and vegetables are greater than ever, particu-
larly here in Florida. The prices of bread,
milk and sugar willlgo up, but this will be
due to higher costs of labor, freight rates
and packaging costs rather than a shortage
of the actual products.
Housewives should learn to set their tables
with the primary, common foods and experi-
ment with substitutes where the real article
is sky-high or unobtainable.

STrouble about drunk drivers is that usually
it's the fellow they hit who pushes up the
daisies.

Every motorist's a marked man today-if
he's got a '41 tag on his car.

Even hornets have good points.


SOMETHING ALL CAN DO


"Well," said my neighbor, com-
ing in ,tired from a day at our Red
Cross headquarters and flopping
down in my biggest chair, "Have
;ou heard the latest?"
"I don't know," I said. What?'*
"N'ow it's fifty per cent of the
Nool of the country that ha's been
requisitioned for the army. A few
days ago it was rubber. At this
rai:e, I don't see what's going to
happen to the homes of the United
States. Our standard of living that
.ve've always been so proud of is
certainly going to take a nose
dive!"
"Oh, I don't know." I
tried to cheer her up.
"Don',t know? You mean you
aren't concerned about all these
shortages? You're willing to have
your children grow up in a .
well, in a shambles?"
I looked around my pleasant
living room, with the late after-
noon sun coming in the windows.
"This. doesn't seem to me like a
s'lamlbles exactly," I said in de-
unse of my own home, "andi I
.hink it will still be fairly com-
fortable five years from now
whether I get anything new for it
or not. This house was well built
and it's going to last."
"But what will you do when
your rug wears out-or a chair
falls to pieces? And what are you
going to do for sheets for your
beds, and for pans in the kitchen


. and oh, for a hundred other
things?"
S"Get new ones when I need
them. Perhaps I won't feel that I
need them as soon as I would in
peace time. But there are a lot of
rugs and sheets and pans in the
warehouses of this country. It's
going to take quite a while for us
to use up all the goods that have
been stored up in 'this country
these past few years. And when
we do-wetl, we'll still get along,
I guess, because our manufac-
turers' are up on their toes, and
when one kind of material can't
be used, they'll find another that
can be."
"Synthetics, you mean?"
"Yes, and substitutes. If we
can't get wool for rugs for a few
years, our manufacturers will
make something else. for us to use
on our floors. Some new kind of
linoleum, perhaps, or a cotton rug.
S. I don't know what. But you
wait and see. This is a rich coun-
try," I told her, "and our indus-
trial system is adaptable. We're
used to a high standard of living
and we're going to keep it high
even if various items in it are
different.
"Besides our material com-
forts aren't everything, you know.
There's an old saying-from a
very ancient book-that 'man does
not live by bread alone.' Ma3ibe
it's time we found out about some
of those other things he lives by!"

Deathless Love,

Shadowing Fear,

Theme of Picture

Cary Grant, Joan Fontaine Teamed,
In Exciting Filim of a Reckless
Husband and Frightened Wife

One of the strangest romances
ever filmed comes to the screen
of the Port theatre Sunday and
Monday in "Suspicion," an un-
usual type of mystery picture
starring Cary Grant and Joan Fon-
taine.
The unique story revolves about
thl lives of Johnnie Aysgarth, an
attractive young ne'er-do-well, and
of Lina McLaidlaw, an unsophis-
ticated heiress whom Johnnie
woos and. wins, inducing her to
elope with him.
Not until after the honeymoon
does Lina- discover that her hus-
band hasn't a cent to his name
and is in debt. She makes him go
to work managing an estate for a
cousin, but he neglects his work
in favor of playing the races, "bor-
rows" money from the estate and
is discharged under a cloua.
Lina begins to realize the type
of man she has married-but she
still loves him, even when he ap-
parently attempts to defraud one
,of his friends. But when the friend
diies under mysterious circum-
stances which make it appear that
Johnnie murdered him to get his


break-up a senior girl's romance?
What about it', H. W.?
Watch out for those pine trees,
Gordon.
* Foy and Chris seem to be doing
okeh. Keep up the good work.
Jimmie T.* and Mary J.
Well, skip it,
It looks like some boys would
date a girl once in a while instead
of the way they are doing!

SLIGHT CHANGE
Sissy: "Yoiir boyItriend has a
new suit.'
Bernice: "No, he hasn't."
Sissy: "Well, something's dif-
ferent."'
Bernice: "It's a new boyfriend."

IMPOSSIBLE

my sentiments at school today."
Marigene: "I can't believe it!

money, Lina is terrified. Further
happenings lead her to believe he
is going to, kill her, too, in order
to obtain funds, yet she is so in
love with him that she can forgive
him even this.
How the strange affair reaches
its surprising climax and Its emo-
tional ending, puts the finishing
touch to; a thoroughly arresting
piece of screen fare in which sus-
pense is piled upon suspense in
breathless fashion.
