MAKE EVERY S PAY DAY \ BOND DAY THE STAR The Home Newspaper of Northwest Florida's: Future Industrial Center For Victory... Buy U. S. DEF ENSE BONDS ^ STAMPS VOLUME V PORT ST. JOE, GULF COUNTY, FLORIDA, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 1942 NUMBER 21 Next Drawing of Draft Numbers Is Set For Macrh 1 New Registrants In 20 to 4 Year Class Will Have Nun bers Placed Behind Thos Who Are Already Signed U Those 581 men of Gulf count between the ages of 20 and 4 years whose names were place on the selective service draft lis the middle of this month will know on St. Patrick's Day-March 17- the numbers determining the or der of their liability for service for that is 'the day set by na tional headquarters for the lates drawing. The lottery will follow in gen eral the procedure of the two pre vious drawings. The capsules, o a green color this time, will be placed in the fa-mous goldfish bowl first used in the 1917 World War drawing and will be picked out by blindfolded government of ficials. The local draft board will shuffle the new registration cards and number them T-1, T-2, T-3, etc. .the "T" standing for third regis- tration.. Simnar sets of numbers will be- in the lottery capsules. Those holding the first numbers drawn will be the first of the new group of registrants to be con- sidered for military service. All the new registrants, how- ever, will. be placed behind those already on the draft board list. As a mechanical device to this end, the first number drawn-suppose it is. T-333--will be listed as order number 10,001. The next number drawn will be 10,002, etc. All the present order numbers are below 10,000. It is expected that in the neighborhood of 8200 numbers will be drawn. None of the new registrants need expect a call to service for about 'two months after the draw- ing, for, says national headquar- ters, "registrants will not be called until they have answered their questionnaie'rs and have been classified, which probably will not 'be before May. Prior to. May, all war department quotas necessarily must be filled from men 21 to 35, inclusive, who registered in 1940 and 1941." National Director Lewis B. Her- shey stated that "publication of order numbers, or even names, in communities is authorized, as such publication will not reveal exactly the total number of registrants enrolled throughout the nation- information which is still restricted by the war department." ~------ INSURANCE COMPANIES NOT LIABLE FOR BOMB DAMAGE At the, first meeting of the city commissioners since the election of B.

ICEBERG LETTUCE QUEEN Organization of - People to Defeat Axis Is Big Jol 7 Our Resources, Properly Usec Are Sufficient to 'Blow Tri- 15 umvrate Off the Earth 1i- This job of organizing all oun People and all 'they own to defea P the Axis is a big .order-the big gest job we as a nation have ever y tackled. You might put it this 5 way: You might say we are mak d ing the ship of State into a shil of War-a warship with a crew o 132,000,000 souls, and more thar w enough ammunition in its maga zines to blow the Unholy Three- Hitler, II Duce and Hirohoto-of! the face of the earth. Only first we've got to get the ammunition on deck. t That's the job we have taken on and we know we're going to do it, too. It looks_ like a very 'compli- cated job, and it is complicated in f many ways when we get down to e cases, when we begin to. consider h what's to be done with this indus- Stry or that, or how best we can Suse a certain scarce metal or sme other material. But basically the job has a -.simple pattern, and this is it: (1) STake care of important civilian needs-the really important ones like food, fuel and, clothing, not the ones we used to think were 'important. in--the old, softi.days. (2) Concentrate everything else- men, machines and materials-on the work of war-everything. (3) See that all the people get a square deal, control prices, guard against inflation, because if we were to permit runaway prices and inflation we would be putting a weapon into the hands of our enemies. We've heard of a number of Port St. Joe people buying 100 -pound sacks of sugar when rationing was announced, and we know of one man who has five brand new tires. ',ven though those on his 1942 car show hardly a sign of wear. Those kind of people are working against the welfare of the public as a whole and we'll venture to say that they soon will find themselves in trouble shortly. We've all got to work together. pull' together and co-operate to the utmost in every manner if we are to win this war. The alternative is the bondage and slavery that is the lot of those countries which already have bowed to the Axis. -----C------ SHARIT IS RE-ELECTED MAYOR-COMMISSIONER Defense Council Appointments Workers to Have Made In County Power of Arrest Made SDefense Council Regulations Are Necessary For Protection of Life and Prop- erty, Rules Atty.

So take heed, you people who so blithely ignored defense regu- lations during the practice black- out held recently, for when Chair- man George Snowden gets his auxiliary police force trained and de.pu.:ized by the city, violators may find themselves on the spot. Continuing with his opinion, the attorney general said that modern conditions of warfare make rules and regulations of defense coun- cils necessary for the protection of life and property. Likewise, ig- noring such rules f or public safety may result in injury to per- sons to such an extent as to con- stitute a crime under the common law in force in thfs state. For that reason, he added, persons enlisted as auxiliary municipal police, or designated by the sheriff or gover- nor, have the right to arrest vio- lators of defenseP rules and also. may ;enter privateI building; td ex-, tinguish lights which.may serve, to guide air-bprne enemies.

The shelling of oil storage tanks near Santa Barbara, Calif., by a Japanese submarine should bring home the fact to residents of Port St. Joe that it CAN happen here, for with German submarines in the Atlantic and Carribbean they might take it into their heads to do something about the gasoline supply that is reaching the east- ern seaboard via the Port St. Joe- Chattanooga pipeline. And if such an eventuality should arise, we would need a well-ol- ganized, civilian defense body. So it behooves us all to do our part in the work of the Gulf County Defense. Council.

OUR BRAND of democracy was won for us, and is being held for us, by men who chose their own careers, owned big farms, built big factories, and did what selling was necessary to keep those farms and factories busy. One of the biggest aids in mass selling is mass advertising. In the long run, it "polices" itself. Advertising of poor products al- ways fails. Only a first rate prod- uct, fairly priced, can stand the dazzling glare of national adver- tising.

The spoken word barely asserts; the printed word thoroughly convinces. The spoken word is lost; the printed word remains. Our Country Right or Wrong WHAT CAN I DO? In the recent registration of men between the ages of 20 and 45 there are a lot of them in the upper age bracket (including ye ed) who are disbarred from military service on various counts. These men, a lot of whom did what they could in World War I, are asking "What can I do to help win the war?" There are a number of ways these men can aid in national and home defense. They can, if they have not already done so, register With the Gulf County Defense Coun- cil. We feel sure that Chairman George Snowden and his lieutenants can find a place for them, since the ranks of the council will be depleted from time to time by calls from the local selective service board. They can buy defense bonds and stamps, and pay their income taxes-if any-gladly and promptly. Our country needs a constant flow of dollars for defense. They can support the Red Cross and the U. S. O. Our boys, the ones we love and who love us, need the helpful ministration of the former and the cheer provided by the latter. But the biggest thing of all these men ca, do is to keep their chins up, a smile on their lips and their hearts aflame with the spirit of democracy, right and truth as they see the hordes of treachery slowly advancing in an effort to crush every element of Christian civilization. Let them remember that even though the bombs may fall and do material dariage, nothing can destroy the iron will for free- dom, justice and right that is in the heart of every right-thinking American! BUNDLES FOR CONGRESSMEN From all over the United States storms of 'protest about the members of congress vot- ing themselves a pension have been flooding into Washington. Clubs have been organized to send "Bundles to Coniress"-to help the poor, starving members. Of course, this is just a joke-but behind the joke people are really mad. It is reported that some worried congress- men went to the president to ask him his advice about how they could get off the spot they had made for themselves. The president is supposed to have told them that if they didn't want the pension they didn't have to apply for it, or accept it. That's not the point. The sincere members of congress wouldn't accept the pension anyway. The ones who would apply for the pension are the ones who would be least entitled to it. At a time of national emergency, when there is such a need for national unity and confidence in government, it is very unfor- tunate that the pension bill was passed. It is very important that it be repealed at the very earliest possible moment.-Plant City Courier. Wisdom is knowing what to do; skill is knowing how to do it, and virtue is doing it. Volunteer members of the Gulf County De- fense Council should take this quotation for their motto. SAVE YOUR PAPER Conserve paper! That request from the government is being stressed more and more every day. Even before we were in the war the government was using one-third of the nation's paper box production for arms needs and now military demand is rapidly increasing. On top of that, the armect forces have many other important uses for paper of all kinds. The cheapest forms of paper, such as news- print, can be reclaimed and made into boxes and other articles. When you do your shopping, get along with a minimum of wrapping. Don't ask for a bag when an item is already packaged. Don't ask for separate bags unless necessary -or any bag at all if you have only a few items to carry. Take groceries in cartons when available-then use the cartons as re- ceptacles in which to save waste paper at home and it will be easier for the Boy Scouts to carry away when they make their regular collection trips. Don't think the stores you patronize are being stingy when they stop using paper, string, tape and other wrappings in the waste- fully lavish form we've become used to. When they cut down on paper use, they are co- operating with the government. Every family in Port St. Joe can help' In the paper conservation drive. Save all-you can and call for the Boy Scouts when you have a substantial amount. AGAIN WE SAY-BUY DEFENSE BONDS Everyone has had the "Buy Defense Bonds" slogan impressed upon them from all sides and from all angles, but we must keep on emphasizing the fact for our participation in this war makes the purchase of immense quantities of defense bonds and stamps all the more necessary. We' cannot finance the war through taxes alone-the burden would be too great. Nor can we finance it by selling more and more regular government bonds to the banks. The financial burden that wa? makes unavoidable must be largely absorbed by the people by ordinary American men and women in all walks of life. The defense bonds and stamps offer us all, whatever our financial status, the chance to help buy the guns and the planes and the great warships that will even- tually destroy our enemies. And, unlike direct taxes, offer us a tangible return on the money we put out. Buy as many bonds as you can afford. Put your spare dimes and quarters into defense stamps. This is every American' s'war-and every American must do all he can to see it through to Victory. A warning to sugar hoarders: Price Ad- ministrator Leon Henderson warns that when sugar rationing becomes effective- about the middle of March-anyone with more than two pounds of sugar per person will not be allowed to purchase sugar until the hoarded amount is used up, and stamps equivalent to the amount tucked away will be removed from the sugar coupon book. And don't think Uncle Sam won't know who has hoarded sugar, for your groceryman will be required to tell him! In a joint announcement, Secretary of Ag- riculture Wickard and Price Administrator Henderson recently said that food stocks in this country are abundant, and that there is no need or justification for hoarding or ab- normal buying. Consumers should remember that. "Scare buying" is one of the surest ways to produce price inflation. Temporary shortages are created as demand runs ahead of supply. We have a war on our hands. The men on PEARLS OF GREAT PRICE The Low Down from Willis Swamp Editor The Star: We sure been hearing' plenty about "morale." Everybody that ,obs up with a new idee or new scheme, and edges onto Uncle Samuel's payroll, says it's for morale. How we've got along so ari without experts on morale is kindla hard ,to savvy. 'And Mr. George Washington, how he ever got. up the-'-courage to cross the Delaware without the help of a psychologist, or a toe-dancer, or a poet to bolster him, is also a big question. Today you can't hardly turn around without tramplin' on a gov- ernment uplifter of some stripe. It's getting' tougher and tougher to find a place to park with "E" cars it eve-ry curb, and all of 'em with new tires. But when all is said and done, mebbe some good'll come of it. If a toe-dancer can make congress show its teeth, even jest a little, versus bein' docile, then guess it's money well spent.

Another service of this squad will be to assist in eliminating danger to the public which may resultt from fallen live wires. Damage to power transmission lines will be reported to Mr. Bounds, during an emergency, by air raid wardens in your locality. Experiences in Europe have proven the importance of a well- organized and efficient fire de- partment in war time. We in Port St. Joe are fortunate in having a splendid, volunteer fire organiza- tion, but in the event of an in- cendiary bomb raidl our fire bri- gade must be augmented by addi- tional volunteers.

(It does not matter where, as long as. you run.) 2. Wear track shoes if possible. If the people in front of you are -slow, you won't have trouble getting over ,them. 3. Take advantage of opportuni- ties' afforded you when air raid sirens, sound warning of attack, for example: A-If in a bakery, grab some pie or cake, etc. B-If in a tavern, grab a bottle. C-If in a movie, grab a blonde. 4. If an incendiary bomb is. found burning in a ,buildiing, throw gasoline on it. (You can't put it out anyhow, and you might as well have a little fun.) 5. If you find an unexploded bomb, always pick it up and shake like the mischief. (Maybe the firing pin is stuck.) If that does not work, leave it in a furnace. (The fire department will come and take care of things.) 6. Drink heavily, eat onions, lim- burger cheese and garlic before entering a crowded air raid shel- ter. It will assure you of plenty of room. 7. Always get excited and holler bloody murder. (It will add to the fun and scare the birds to death.) 8- If you should be the victim of a direct hit by a bomb, do not go to pieces. (Lie still and you won't be noticedl.) 9. Knock'the air wardens down if they start to tell you what to do. (They always save the best seats for themselves anyway.) 10. If no gasoline is available to put on an incendiary, throw a bucket of water on it and lie down. (You are dead.) ~-Ic SInvisible plastic splints are now being used on broken wrists. H.

Monty Woolley is' the bearded star, and it is he who creates the havoc in a blissful family when, invited to dinner, he slips on an icy porch and breaks his hip. Confined to his chair, he makes his stay to dinner something to be remembered. It lasts four weeks andt involves sending the family upstairs, forbiddinig them to use their phone while, he calls the world, over, and urges their chil: dren to elope and hop freighters bound, for Singapore. And he fills the house with the strangest kind of people. Bette Davis, plays a deadpan. satirical secretary, but gets her man, Dick Travis. So Dick sits among the penguins, the octopus. Jimmy Durante and all the other mad friends Woolley brings to the little Ohio town. As for the mummy case, the rea- son for its presence is Ann Sheri- dan, who wears it for one scene. "It's prodigious!" fumes Durante furiously, "it's magniculous! Don't I look like a mummy case? It ain't right! A mummy case-that part was made for me!" ------*-------- .Mr. and Mrsi. C. J.
