S'The 'local cagers took Altha here Tuesday night 15 to 9 to chalk up :'the third straight win, having de- featedi Apalachicola 22 to 12 and Frink 17 to 15. The Sharks go to Kinard tonight to meet a team that has been playing all year and has won 11 out of 12 starts. Tuesday night the local boy will meet the strong Bay High team of Panama City at the Cen- tennial auditorium at 8 o'clock. At the conclusion of this. game 'the St. Joe Paper company quin- tet will play a Panama City town team. The usual admission will cover both games. CRASH ROLLING CARS SPECIALTY It's exciting? And how! Crash rolling of automobiles is a specialty for which Jimmie Lynch and his Death Dodgers are trained. in this event, an example of what to expect at the Florida State Fair in two 'performances Wednesday afternoons, February 4 and 11, the driver circles the track, races up an elevated rampway with two wheels, twists his steering wheel and-presto, loops *his car end- over-end and side-over-side, demolishing the machine. Many other daring automobile and motorcycle stunts are scheduled for the show. Expect City Will A. E. Conklin Go On New Time P saes Away Daylight Saving to Conserve Elec. 'triity 'Becomes Effective iFbriiary 9 In connection with the congres- sional mandate that the nation go on daylight saving time beginning February 9, it is expected that the city of Port St .Joe will foiloaw suI. andi.on that -morning we all will rise -an hour earldir. We say "it is expected' the'city will change to the new time be- cause nominally Port St. Joe is in the central time belt, but due to the fact that the terminal 9f the Apalachicola Northern railroad is located here, the city has always observed eastern standard time. Superintendent J. L. Sharit says the railroad will change to the new time at 2 a. m. February 9, and it is anticipated that people generally, and the business men in particular, will adopt the new time in conformity with the railroad. In such a case, the time relation we now observe.in regard to We- wahitchka and Panama City will remain as they are-both of those cities being on central standard time. ---------- VIC ANDERSON JOINS / U.

LEWIS HEADS PRESIDENT'S BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION With the enlistment of George Tapper in the army air corps, E.

Our Country :.,, Right or Wrong GET IN VHE SCRAP That is the fighting watchword all over Florida right now as citizens join in a nation- wide effort to increase the flow of vitally needed scrap and waste material into produc- tion channels. With many steel furnaces cur- tailing operations because of the lack of scrap iron, and with paperboard mills sounding des- perate cries for more and more waste paper, residents of Port St. Joe and Gulf county are urged to co-overate fully in the effort to get these materials out of hiding and into the hands of the manufacturers of the essentials of war. Our war factories need more and more of scrap metal, waste paper, old rags and old rubber._ Scrap metal makes the steel, brass, copper, lead and other metals for the planes, guns, tanks and ships we must have for vic- tory. Waste paper makes new paperboard to ship munitions,, clothing and food for our fighting men at home and .overseas. Old rags make needed materials for emergency build- ings, wiping rags for war industries and re- worked textiles. Old rubber makes new rub- ber for our motorized forces-for planes, tanks and battleships-and for essential civilian needs. All communities are a rich mine in all of these, and Port St. Joe should be no excep- tion. In dumps and backyards, in attics and in stores, there is undoubtedly several hun- dred tons of material lying about idle and useless. ; Let's work this mine. Let's make it pro- duce now and continue to produce. We must save and salvage and start these materials on their way to make weapons for our fight- ing men. Who knows but what a piece of scrap iron from Port St. Joe might go into a gun, be placed in the hands of one of our local boys and be the means of saving his life? Stranger coincidents that that have been recorded. Every citizen in Port St. Joe, by collect- ing this waste material, can help turn out the weapons that can give the only answer to the treachery at Pearl Harbor. Trouble is, so many thoughtful men are too busy to think. Keep smiling-and buy Defense Bonds! PRODUCTION BOSS For a long time Americans in the know about our huge war job have been asking for one-man control of production in Washington. In the past the overlapping duties and di- vided responsibilities that existed between the various agencies charged with directing tne war. program produced a great deal f inefficiency. Manufacturers often had diffi- culty getting the go-ahead signal on work that they were prepared to do. Last minute changes in contracts caused countless delays. Alterations in the designs of weapons that had already gone into production slowed down the entire program. No man can serve two masters, yet somehow makers of war equipment. often had to try to serve half a dozen or more, all because no centralized au- thority existed. President Roosevelt's decision to create a war production board with Donald Nelson at its head should help to eliminate this confu- sion. With one man in control the entire pro- gram should move more swiftly than ever before. It's an enormous job to adapt indus- try to total war production, but it must- and it can-be done. And Mr. Nelson's past performance in Washington indicates that he is the man to do it. TODAY'S THE LAST DAY Those Port St. Joe motorists who haven't bought their auto "use" stamp yet because they haven't recovered from the shock of paying a higher price for new license plates, had better snap out of their stupor and hie themselves to the postoffice before noon and go into a huddle with Postmaster Drake in regard to making a down payment on a $2.09 stamp for their car, for all autos must have one of these stamps on display beginning Sunday, February 1. If you're inclined to be lax about this mat- ter, it might hop you up a bit to know that a $25 fine or 30 days in jail is provided for anyone failing to have .the "sticker" in place after February 1. More than $200,000,000 worth of strategic war materials owned by foreigners was un- covered by the treasury's census of alien- owned property. This property has been turned over to the SPAB, which plans to us. it in the Allied war effort. Some of the prop- erty had been hidden in warehouses and fac- tories by Axis agents, and consisted of brass, aluminum, automobile parts, tools and ma- chinery, all of which can be used by the United States to good advantage. -. .- Local man dashed out of his house the other evening when he heard a loud explosion. A neighbor called to him,, saying, "It isn't a Jap bomb-just my car backfiring." The first man replied, "I wouldn't have minded if it was a bomb-I thought one of the tires on my car had blown out!" Make a little money and save a little money by buying Defense Bonds and Stamps. The lazy man expects tomorrow to take care of both itself and him. Buy Defense Bonds and "Ax the Axis"! Ietc. If the U.

JOHN HENRY JON Let ES Sugar Rationing Will Start Soon Approximately One Pound Pdr Person Each Week Is Pro- posed Allowance Last week, when it was, an- nounced that ministers would be able to get tires, a lot of us wished we had studied for the clergy. This week, with the announce-' ment that sugar is to be rationed, a lot of people are wishfully wish- ing that they had raised, a larger family-and, those without children are kicking themselves soulfully. .ll o11 woich leads up to 'ote an- nouncement last Saturdayi that government -.rationing of sugar will begin early in February, with each person limited to about one pound per week. And a lot of people with s'weeet tooths who, when they heard the news went out and stocked up on sugar, will be disappointed to know that Price Fixer Leon Hen- lersc: has plans to recover these 2ecess hoarded stocks.. One pound per person a week is plenty of .sugar and it will hardly y affect the average person, for during 1941 the average per capital home consumption was 11/2 pounds per week.

Consumers who are in possession of abonrmally large stocks of su- gar are warned that they will not be permitted to gain an advantage from their "suppos-ed foresight."
