Shark Cagers

In Third Win

Take Tilt From Altha Tuesday
Night 15 to 9; Boys Trek
To Kinard Tonight

It looks like Port St. Joe high
.school has got a real athletic in
struotor in the person of Coach
Frank Hannon, for after turning
out a state champion six-man foot
ball team he now' has the basket
ball squad on the road -to an un-
defeated season.
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.

The spoken word is given scant attention;
the printed word is thoughtfully weighed.
The spoken word barely asserts; the printed
word thoroughly convinces. The spoken word
is lost; the printed word remains.

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"!

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. Anyway, good
coffee is better without sugar-
try it sometime. '
In .a direct word of warning tc


.... yUt- .


'aoard:ers, Hehderson said: "Those
v.ho have stocks, on hand are ad-
vised to start using them now.
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."

'DISABLED' APPLIANCES


off the Sick List


Little "old" servants they are
before their time willing work-
ers once but on the shelf now
because of some minor ailment.


Frayed cords, broken plugs faulty adjustments,
worn out parts. Like all other equipment, even the
finest constructed electrical appliances need occasional
attention.

In most every case it costs but a few pennies to give
these good friends a new lease on life. Your Electrical
Dealer will find out what's wrong and fix it in a jiffy.

Take them off the shelf. Treat them to a few min-
utes' tinkering. Then they'll go on again, giving you
the same cheap, efficient service you wanted when you;


bought them.
