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

ment or business.
Every registrant will be given
ample time to respond properly to

the first and second selective ser-

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-

After a registrant has answered
all questions and signed his -name
to the registration-card, he. will be

"Bicycles Built for Two"-Or Even
Three or Four-May Soon
Be Traffic Problem

Saturday afternoon, at 2:30 pre-
cisely, marked a' epochal moment
in the annals of Port St. Joe, un-
equaled in history perhaps but by
one incident-- that when Jonah
swallowcdt the whale-for at that
iroment was launched a madman's
dream-a two-seater bicycle., the
Susie Q.
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.

TO THE VOTERS


OF PORT ST. JOE


DEAR VOTERS:
We all know this is no time for
a big political campaign. Due to
the war, politics are not uppermost
in our minds, but we must remem-
ber that our City Government
must continue to function smoothly
even during the stress of war.
Due to my hours of work, I have
been unable to contact you person-
ally, so I hope you will give this
notice your attention.
I have announced my candidacy
for City Commissioner in the com-
ing election. I feel we need new
blood in office (no offense meant.
Commissioners!) There is right
smart that should be done in our
tCity, and we should be doing
something about it.
I will appreciate your vote and
support on Tuesday, February 17
(don't forget the date) and will,
if elected, faithfully discharge my
duties to the best of my ability,
so mark one for ole' Buster.
D. L. 'BUSTER'. OWENS

lessening of sunshine that is re-
sponsible-the new "war time"
leaves only 61 per cent of possible

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. A. new member of the family
Is introduced in Dicklie Hall, play-
ing.- the Charles infant now grown
to toddler age, and it's a toss-up'
as to whether he or that ir-
resistibly funny dog, Asta, try-
harder to steal the scenes from:
the stars.
BOMBS FASCIN-ATE
Of the hundreds, of exhibits in
the 25 buildings at the Florlda
State Fair, Tampa, that of the
army draws the biggest crowds.
Bormbsoseem to have a special,
fascination, especially the .big
2000-opoundi ones. The bombs: are.
"dead" but they show what army
airplanes can drop as calling cardsU
on our Axis foes.

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.
SEND NO MONEY-just your
name and address to the Diamonex
Company, 1077 London Guarantee
Bldg., Chicago, Illinois for a regular
$2.00 treatment of Diamonex for only
$1.00 and a few cents postage. Use
Diamonex according to the simple di-
rections for only two weeks. If, at the
end of that test period you are not
delighted with results your money will
be refunded immediately on request.
There are no strings or conditions-
you owe it to yourself to make this
wonderful test at once. Write today as
this offer is fully guaranteed.

Our Country -. 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. .

"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. Like the bear in the
spring, we will soon 'begin -to ac-
cumulate, fat once more.

Adapting the emergency shelf to
war-time needs does not mean the
hoarding of food. The housewife
will find many necessary items on

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

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. Syrup-
and we always have a plentiful
supply in Port St. Joe-often adds
the finishing touch to an otherwise

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.

Broccoli, the green sprouting
kind, which home gardeners easily
grow, and which far surpasses the
cauliflower in nutrition, while
duplicating its flavor.
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.
