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. ----- -----a --- OVERSTREET BEGINS TOUR OF STATE IN CAMPAIGN Expect Women to 'M ' Aid In War Work Will Gradually Release Men From Factory and Office Duties In Order to Swell Army W The government expects women to work in factories, on farms and in stores and offices wherever they can take the, place of men who are fit for the army -or navy n gradual mobilization of the na- t:on's fighting a d production powerr for total war. This statement was made by !rig.4Geh. Lewis B. Hershey, di- "sctor of the selective service sys- tem, and he added that only one thing would determine the even- ua'] size of the arm y-"it must be large enough to win this war.' "The selective service system will expect industry and agricul- ture to use to the maximum indi- viduals who do not possess the capacities for services in the armed' forces," 'Hershey said. "It will expect a gradual but con- stant substitution of women for men who are fit to fight." -----X----- FLORIDA BANK GROUP OFFERING .BQNUS FOR AXIS BATTLE WAGONS Announcement Is made by the Fioriada NatIonal Bank group that it would make a standing offer of an award of $500 which will be paid to the American aircraft pilot or group of, pilot destroying any- Japanese';..

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.

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.?

BUY DEFENSE BONDS 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. -----Ac----- Harold Palmer Visits Harold' Palmer of St. Mary's Ga., spent Saturday through Mon- day here visiting his parents, Mr. and Mrs. C.
