JOE, GULF COUNTY, FLORIDA, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 1942 NUMBER 19 Registrants Not Bc Required To Fil Out Questionnaires No Physical Examination Un til Classification By Loca Board; Registrants Warned To Carry Certificate Or Person At All Times. S.When tomorrow rolls around and hbe first registrants between the ages of 20 and 45 appear to sign up -for possible military service under the new provisions of the selective service act which sets February 14, 15 and 16 as the dates on which they must register, they, will merely be asked nine simple questions. Under these circumstances, the registration of t he individual should, require but a s-hort time, as registrants must only answer interrogations about his' identity, his place of residence, his mailing address, his telephone number (if any), his age, date and place of birth, the name and address of the person who will always know hi* address, his' employer's name and address, and his place of employ- ment or business. Every registrant will be given ample time to respond properly to the questions on the registration card, which on this occasion will be green. WhitP a'nd m~~il-colored cards, respectively, were. used for the first and second selective ser- vice registrations. No questionnaires will be given registrants, when they register to- morrow, Sunday and, Mondlay, nor will they be required at that time to undergo any physical examina- tion. Questionnaires are given to registrants .after their order num- bers have been determined and reached by their local boards. Physical examinations are. given only after the boards have passed on the general qualifications of registrants and' have determined' that they should not be deferred for reasons of interest to the na- tion. After a registrant has answered all questions and signed his -name to the registration-card, he. will be given a registration certificate signed by the registrar. This cer- tificate must be in -the ,pesonal possession of the registrant at all (Continued on Page 6) ---------- Tires and Tubes Issued During Month of January B. E.

Confronted with the horrible nightmare of having to walk, due to the auto and tire restrictions- Horace Soule and, Carroll Warner put their collective heads together to solve the problem and at the same time preclude the. possibility of their wives having to walk. The result was, Susie Q. The initial performance on the two wheel- two seat vehicle was, given by. Mr. Soule and Henry Gatty, fli-:- making a Cook's tour around the bl3ck from Reid ave- nue and Third street to Monument avenue and back. Heads of startled pedestrians turned as if on pivots as the odd contraption passed, and owners, of skittish automobiles had to stop and get out to hold the heads of their prancing mounts. One ha- bitual bar-fly, believing he had the D. T'.s, immediately took the pledge. But in spite of all this, and the fact that the l-oard of city com- mnissioners is considering passing an ordinance requiring that all such vehicles using the streets of Port St. Joe be preceded by a man on foot ringing a bell, the Messrs. Soule and Warner are inordinately provd of Susie Q. and are contem- plating manufacturing the bikes in two, three and four-seat capaci- ties, in order that pureahsers may take the entire family for an out- ing at one time. 4- - Miss.

S1Powell and Loy Tops In'Shadow of the Thin Man' Film Brings Witty, Sophisticated Entertainment to Screen of Port Sunday Monday M-G-M's "Thin Man" pictures have always set a record for witty and sophisticated entertainment, and "Shadow of the Thin Man," newest of the series, which plays Sunday and Monday at the Port theatre with William Powell and I Myrna Loy again cast as, Nick and Nora Charles, proves no exception. The picture' is cast with a group of comedy-wise supporting players, among them Barry Nelson, Donna. Reed and Alan Baxter, and the new episodes of the detective and. his scintillating wife in no way falters on the path of true com- edy-drama. "Shadow of the Thin Man" starts' with an apparent murder at a race track. A variety of sus- picious characters are involved, in- cluding two rival newspaper men, the head of the state athletic com- mission, a big-shot gambler, a bet- ting commissioner and the latter's blonde girl friend. The mystery gets into a seemingly insoluble muddle until a young reporter friend of Nick's is arrested after a second murder. This brings Powell into the case and he use's his own distinctive methods to bring the real murderer to light. Powell is complete' master of his detective role and Miss Loy, as the wife-who refuses, to leave his side .even when her presence is acutely embarrassing, is, as usual1,'perfetly cast.

HIGH, BLOOD PRESSURE Dangerous High Blood. Pressure (Es- sential Hypertension) is usually marked by distressing symptoms such as dizzi- ness, throbbing headaches, sleepless- ness and.nervousness. If disregarded, this may lead to Heart Trouble, Stroke, Paralysis, Hardening of the Arteries or Kidney Trouble. Diamonex, new dis- covery of a heart specialist, is designed to quickly .aid in the relief of these symptoms. A Chicago resident says: "I suffered from High Blood Pressure for several years with increasingly severe throb- bing headaches, dizziness and shortness of breath. I showed the Diamonex for- mula to my doctor and, on his advice; tried the treatment for two weeks un- der identical conditions as previous treatments. Within only three days my bad headaches and dizzy spells were gone. My high blood pressure was re- duced and I sleep fine." Diamonex goes directly to work in three different ways to aid in the relief of these dangerous symptoms. Results are speedy-within as short a time as two weeks sufferers often find that Diamonex has accomplished 75% of the total reduction possible with this formula. If you suffer from High Blood Pressure you may try DIA- MONEX without risking a penny. To introduce this wonderful treatment to a million new sufferers this liberal trial offer is made for a limited time only.

Right or Wrong HOME FRONT PLEDGE (The following editorial has been sent to every newspaper in Floridg by the state de- fense council with the hope that it will aid in making the people of the state realize that they are of vital importance in our all-out war effort. Read it carefully and take it to heart.) Every man, woman and child in the United States is a soldier on the home front. Let us dedicate ourselves to unflinching service. M-ay we suggest as a Home Front Pledge to be taken silently by every citizen and resi- dent of this community: :That we shall do our part, willingly and earnestly, as fighters on the home front, if not on the battle line. That we shall learn the trades of war and. defense necessary to carry out any duty that may be assigned to us. That we shall be frugal in consuming the stores that must provide also for our armed services and for our allies. 'That we shall save and make available for use again the materials that can be salvaged from our home and business transactions. That we shall deny ourselves without grumbling the luxuries and conveniences that war industry cannot supply. That we shall invest at least $2 out of each $100 of income in defense-savings stamps or bonds. That we shall pay our taxes cheerfully, no matter how hard the pinch may be felt this coming year. That we shall support our, local, state and national governments and defense officials wholeheartedly. That we shall repeat no unconfirmed ru- mors we may hear. That we shall be silent on any movement :of army, navy or marine corps personnel that we may observe or learn about. That we shall refuse to criticize, antago- nize or deride any religious, racial or sec- tional group of Americans or, Allies of the lUnited States. That we shall observe, promptly and effec- tively, all blackout and warning regulations, That we shall conserve our strength, en- ergy and spirit as part of a vital national asset-not waste our bodies or minds in un- wholesome recreation or destructive habits. That we shall set an example to everyone we meet of calm, cheerful, courageous strength. That we shall keep our thumbs up. THIS NEW WARTIME Due to the fact that Port St. Joe is a sort of stepchild as far as the time divisions are concerned-*the city really being in the central zone but using eastern standard time due to the railroad-when the changeover to the new "wartime" was instigated, nobody seemed to know what to do about it, some -advocating staying on the time we had been using and others favoring the new time. Came the cold, gray dawn of Monday, February 9, and almost everybody was using the old. time. The railroad, telephone com- 'pany, bus depot and paper mill had changed to the new time, but few knew about it, and we understand that a large number of em- ployes at the paper mill were an hour late for work. H-owever, decision to change to the new time was made by someone-we don't know who, but a lot of people are cussin' whoever it was-and at 11 o'clock (old time) the noon siren atop the bank building wailed out the fact that it was time for lunch-and so the matter seemed to have been settled. Now those who have to get to work early arise before dawn,, yawning, stretching and shivering, to grope about in the dark for the light and their bedroom slippers. It isn't ex- actly pleasant, we'll admit, but, on the other hand, the arrangement pays, off in the after- noon by making business closing hours on; hour earlier than normal, thus giving em- ployes an additional hour of daylight for re- laxation, and with summer coming on that extra hour will mean a lot. And, too, with this extra hour, we should see a lot of home defense gardens springing up which might not have been possible under the old time. It may seem a bit trying right now, but we'll get used to it. SCHOOL BOYS CAN SERVE IN WAR We don't mean, by that heading, that 'teen age school boys will be enlisted in the armed forces like they are in Germany, Japan and Italy, but they are being offered a place in the nation's war effort by Secretary of the Navy Frank Knox in the construction of 500,- 000 aircraft models for our armed forces. The Star this week received a bulletin from the Office of Public Relations stating that high school students in Florida will be given an opportunity to participate in this program by building 5500 of these models. There will be 10,000 models each of 50 dit- ferent types of fighting planes which will be used for training personnel in aircraft recog- nition, range estimation in gunenry practice and civilian defense training. The first set of working drawings will be in the hands ot co-operating schools by February 23. Whether or not the Port St. Joe high school partici- pates in the program will remain up to the students and Principal Biggart-but if we know our boys, there'll. be doggone few of 'em pass up the opportunity to build model airplanes, and on top of that they'll be doing their bit to help their country in this war. The models will be made pn a precise scale of 1 to 72-ont inch on the model represent-a ing six feet on the actual plane. After a re- view of models submitted, students complet- ing stated quantities of models will receive certificates in recognition of the importance of the work. Approved models will be sent to aviation units ashore and afloat. All right, boys, let's see how many of those certificates we can bring to Port St. Joe! We're aginn" the bill passed providing pen- sions for members of congress the same as provided for other long-time government em- ployes. Members of the U. S. senate and house of representatives asked to be elected to office and spent good money in their cam- paigns to be elected. No one asked them to take the jobs-they weren't hired or ap- pointed-they wanted to be elected mainly for the honor and prestige, or they had an ax to grind, either for themselves or for some individual or corporation. Therefore they should be satisfied, after having served their tenure of office, to retire gracefully and not ask the people to "keep" them in their old age. These afternoon pink tea bridge parties the women hold are at last doing some good. Instead of giving useless gimcracks and gee- gaws as score prizes they are now giving de- fense stamps. The plan cuts out a few sales for the dime stores, but it aids in our na- tional defense program. Hope never fades-it merely shifts from day to day. . wD Wt* (f) ^99 OL ^ic^^ "Yes," said old Aunt Matilda, who was a little girl during the lean days of the Civil War, "now is the time for us to live off our fat." "What do you mean-to live off our fat?" I asked her. "Jus.t like a bear does when he hibernates for the winter, without ,eating anything. All summer long he eats all he wants and puts on a lot of extra flesh. Then, when fall comes, he dens up in his cave for the winter and keeps alive by using up the fat he has accumu- lated." "I see what you mean, Aunt Ma- tilda. For years here in the' United States, we've bought freely every- thing that we wanted and could afford. Now, it's time for us to stop buying all but necessities." "And begin to use up the old things," the practical old lady sug- gested. "Don't be afraid, to have darns in the heels and, toes of your stockings to make bread pudding out of stale slices of bread, .. to fold up and put away the paper that comes around packages to have a string bag once more, and a crock for bacon grease and a little wire soap dish in which you can use up every scrap of soap. It won't hurt you, or any housekeeper in" this town, to learn the kind of thrift. that women used to: practice!" *. * With a rich new continent and the most efficient industrial sys- tem in the world, we've been an extravagant people the past few decades. When things were a little worn, we discarded them and got something new. When it was a nuisance to save things, we simply threw them away. But now, the industry which has provided for us so lavishly is at work on the machines of war. Now, its main objective is not to raise our .stan- dard of living, but to win this war as soon as possible. So it's up to us to co-operate by saving . conserving making over ., even doing without sometimes. We can do this with good grace here in America, because we know that when Victory comes, industry will go right to work for us again. At this moment, I think we, all agree that nothing matters but the war. When other things DO matter, we will again be able tb buy all that we need of every good thing.

The housewife will find many necessary items on hand, and none of them need be purchased in large quantity. A regular cheick-up of her emergency supply shelf will fit into her daily shopping routine. As more and more women are joining the Red Cross, nurse's aid andi other voluntary service ireg-nizAtinns, there is less time to devote to the planning and prep- aration of elaborate meals. A sup- ply of canned foods will solve many- 'breakfast, luncheon ano dinner problems. The fruits, are useful as first course, dessert and in salads. The vegetable item on the, dinner menu is taken care of 'by serving a can of corn, beans, spinach, peas or beets.

Plot New A& Self-oService SFood Store Opens CL ,~'4~C6 so FK , In a well drained, sunny, rea- sonably fertile plot, 20x30 feet, suf- ficient fresh vegetables qualifying as "protective foods," rich in vita- mins, can be grown to supply a family of four for the harvest period of four months. This may be considered to be the minimum Victory Garden called for by the national campaign. Any vegetables at all produced for fam- ily use will be a contribution to defense, releasing commercial foods for other uses. But a garden which will provide nutritious pro- tective foods for the family all summer will be a real defense asset. It may be enlarged, where suit- able land is available, to grow food for preserving to be consumed over a much longer period. This illustration which accom- panies this article shows one way the minimum garden could be laid out. Of great importance is the selection of the foods to be grown; and the list included in the plan has been most carefully considered. It includes: Swiss chard or New Zealand spinach, both of which yield con- tinuously through the hot summer, giving several crops from the same space, and both almost as rich in vitamins as spinach. Leaf or cos lettuce, which will provide the basis for bowl salads, and are forty times richer in vita- min A than bleached head lettuce. Tomatoes sufficient for 100 serv- ings in four months, or almost every day; because the tomato is perhaps the most valuable of all protective foods, palatable and nu- tritious whether cooked, served raw, or as juice. Spring or green onions, invaluable for flavor, also rich in Vitamins, which mature onions relatively lack. YALE MAN :..

Carrots, most nutritious of edible roots, and a truly delicious food when served out of the garden, especially when half mature. Collards, a sort of loose leaf cab. bage, whose green leaves have many times more vitamins than bleached cabbage heads. Stringless Green beans, which not only have vitamins, but are rich in other food factors. Peas, which are nutritious, and when grown at home, are one of the most delicious of all foods. Parsnips, a nutritious root crop which can be harvested all winter during thaws. Lima beans, richest of fresh vegetables in the important vita. min B1. Parsley, which deserves to be treated as a chief ingredient of salads, rather than a garnish, be- cause it is so nutritious. Beets, to be grown both for their roots and their leaves, which far excel the roots in nutrition. Squash, easily grown and vita. min rich, giving welcome variety to the summer menu. Red Peppers, which can alsobe eaten in the green state, and pro- vide precious vitamins while lend- ing pep to all dishes that include them. a All on this list may be termed protective foods. When well grown and eaten in the proportions indi- cated by the plan, they will provide a family of four with more than enough Vitamin A, sufficient Vita- min C, and as much Vitamin B1 and others as can be obtained from any green vegetables. NEW SLOGAN FOR FLORIDA ORANGES Northerners are going to be ed- ucated in the "Cracker" style of eating oranges, according to Em- mett Peter Jr., editor of the Lake Region at Eustis. A northern friend of the ed- itor's father paid a visit to Flor- ida. Upon being introduced to the "Cracker" style of eating citrus, he declared.: "My, it's fine to 'rink a Florida orange." The catchwordi appealed to the Florida citrus commission, always receptive to new ideas, and they obtained the right to use it and will now put the. slogan "Drink a Florida Orange" in its advertis- ing. *- CALDWELL IN ARMY .iillard F.
