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."

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

132,000,000 souls, and more thar
w enough ammunition in its maga

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.

Continuing with his opinion, the

noring such rules f or public

sons to such an extent as to con-

reason, he added, persons enlisted

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

5 TRAGEDIES!

1. A Man struck a match to see
if the gasoline tank of his car
was empty. It wasn't
2. A Man patted a strange bull-
dog on the head to see if it
was affectionate. It wasn't.
3. A Man speeded up to see if he
could beat a train to the cross-
ing. He didn't.
4. A Man touched a broken
power line to see if if was
carrying current. It was.
5. A Man stopped advertising to
see if he could save money.
He didn't.

'if It's Heavily Adver tise



It :HA S to be GOO D.


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. When you think of the
heavily advertised soups, soaps,
breakfast foods, mechanical refrig-
erators, automobiles, silverware,
radios -you are thinking of the
aristocrats among commercial arti-
ces.

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,

it's money well spent.

What to Do In Case

of An Air Raid
Reprinted From 'The Florida Fireman'

1. As soon -as the bombs start
dropping, run like everything.
(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.)

'Man Who Came to

Dinner' At the Port

Sunday Monday

Bette Davis, Ann Sheridan, Monty
Woolley Star In Film Version
Of Broadway Hit

Imagine Bette Davis, Ann Sheri-
dan, four penguins, the only
bearded star in Hollywood, a
mummy case, the biggest nose in
movies, aid an octopus and you'll
have some idea of the goings on
in "The Man Who Came to Din-
ner," playing Sunday and Monday
at the Port theatre.
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!"
