Little Interest Being Shown As Election Nears Candidates For Office Must Qualify With Clerk of Court By March 20; New Regis- tration In County Is Light. The time for the Democratic primary is fast approaching, but thus, far the editor of The Star has. heard of but one rumored can- d:date for county commissioner in this district, although we take it for granted that the incumbent, Harry Saunders will be in the race. Andl as far as the general public is concerned we've heard no talk of who might or might not make good officials. This general apathy is probably due to two reasons: First, the war, and secondly, only a few of- fices are to be filled at this' year's election. When all of the, county officials are forced to run, there is never any coolness. Offices to be, filled, as far as we can remember, are representative in the state legislature, congress- man, congressman-at-large, mem- bers of the board of county com- missioners, states attorney, mem- ber of the school board and har- bormaster (position of harbormas- ter here in the past has' been 'an appointive position) - "Up untill Tuesday the res-utra-i Sugar Hoarders Offered Chance To Be 'Patriotic' Can Return Surplus to Stores; Those.with More Than Two Months Supply On Hand to Be Denied Ration Books.

Right or Wrong SLOT MACHINES BACK AGAIN We .note that the slot machines are back in Port St. Joe again under a new guise- "marble boards" or so-called, "pin ball" ma- chines. The return of the machines, not only to this city but to all of Florida, came about through a ruling of the state supreme court on. a section of the 1941 general occupational license law authorizing mechanical game de- vices for amusement only. The court held that as long as there was no visible reward or promise of reward in money, the machines could be licensed. Then if the machines are used for gambling it is up to the sheriff to enforce the gambling laws. There's the catch. Under the law which banished slot machines from the state the sheriff didn't have to catch anyone actually gambling with the machine, for the mere possession of a slot machine was prima facie evidence of violation of the law. Sure there's gambling going on with these marble boards-it doesn't amount to much, mi.yly15'e a twenty-five or fifty cent bet on the high score, and most of us like to gamble just a little bit once in a while. That's not the point. The point is that the licensing of this type of machine is merely an entering wedge for the return of the one-armed ban- dits which became so rampant in the state a few years back that it shocked and enraged the general public and resulted in passage by the legislature of the measure outlawing them. ARYAN SON OF ISLAM A few months ago, when the Arabs in Iraq were being courted by the Axis, Hitler purportedly underwent, a remarkable conver- sion. He was suddenly smitten with Mo- hammedanism, the stories ran, and spent each morning and evening on his prayer rug, stoutly affirming to the astonished German surroundings that Allah is the sole deity and Mohammed his only right-hand man. With Japan invading Moslem t'-r itory in the Far East, Adolf has had a new spurt of religious fervor. Since he had little success in Iraq, however, as a common, garden va- riety son of Islam, he has now been promoted to direct descendant of Mohammed. Should he fail to win Islam in this august role, we may then expect to hear that this distin- guished Mohammedan has relieved Allah ol his command and taken over himself.-St. Louis- Post-Dispatch. ^_----- - There's an interesting article on pompano fishing in the February Florida Highways Magazine, just come to our desk; and it men- tions that this game fish may be found in the Gulf waters off Port St. Joe in the spring. From the sound of the article, the pompano has it all over fresh water bass for fight, so, come spring, the editor is going to do a bit of pompano fishing with a light casting rod. The great lesson of World War II is this: Victory belongs .to :the aggressor-to the na- tion which carries the:battle to the enemy. TOTAL WAR Have you found your place in the present war program? Well, if you haven't, you had better start looking around, because accord- ing to reports from Washington, the entire available manpower of the nation is to be mobilized for war work. Total war calls for total preparations, and Uncle Sam is getting ready for just that. Federal Security Administrator Paul V. Mc- Nutt has said that early in March the U. S. employment service will start inventory of the nation's manpower with respect to skills necessary for war production. Special occu- pational forms and questionnaires will ulti- mately be sent to 40,000,000 men between the ages of 18 and 64. That's a pretty big order, but it takes that to win-the war-there is nothing for Ameri- cans to do but fill the order. If the thing works out like Washington thinks, labor ana industry, as well as soldiers, will be drafted. Many men in the nation, well 'past the age limit for military service, are still able to do their bit in the production field: It might -be as a farmer or a worker in a factory. Some can be placed so as to relieve younger men who are well within the age limit for mili- tary service. We are in a war that must be won, if we are to continue to exist. Drafting labor and industry might work a hardship in many cases, but drafting men for military duty does the same thjng. The easiest and shortest way to victory is through united efforts, un- der proper guidance. Manpower that has not, and apparently will not, find its proper place in war efforts, must be shown the place, and then put in it.-Florida Advocate. '- CO-OPERATE WITH YOUR MERCHANTS In the. weeks to come everyone will feel the pinch of conservation moves, and house- wives will particularly find that it -is not so easy to have deliveries made promptly. Your grocer, the milk man, the ice man, the dry cleaner and the laundry man are all affected by the conservation of tires, and de- liveries of their products will necessarily have to be curtailed. With them it is simply a matter of saving tires as long as possible or not having any with which to carry on their business. So it's up to every consumer in Port St. Joe to remember what his merchant faces and co-operate in every manner possible to help him through the delivery difficulties he now faces. "Democracy," said President Henry M. Wriston of Brown University, recently, "is simply the political aspect of an assertion ot the supreme values in individual life. It was predicated upon the right to self-development, physical, mental and spiritual. It assumes man's infinite worth, and the measureless riches that arise from the variety of his in- ventiveness. It is designed to implement his right of self-expression in vocation and avo- cation. It puts the greatest possible reliance upon self-discipline and the least possible de- pendence upon compulsion. If democracy is worth fighting on all the continents of the earth to defend, it is worth a struggle to pro- tect it at home. That faith is the way to na- tional unity-it is the path to peace." Automobile wreckers should be included to work with defense rescue squads and mobile first aid units, as they would prove helpful in ilfting fallen timbers, trees or walls that might injure and imprison people during air raids. A wrecker is capable of lifting an enormous dead weight and can haul heavy loads. Looks like the city dads 'will have to pass AT THE TOP OF THE LIST It's different these mornings. Had y:ou noticed?

It is still very low in the east 'vben John star' s to work and the '?i!dren shove off to school, leav- ing me alone to begin on the day's housework. I stand at the window for a few minutes after the kids have gone. watching them ui;til hey turn the corner. Then I re- alize how strange it is to have the ':;mily gone and the decks cleared like this, so early in the morning. There's a quality of excitement ":bout early rising. It's always meant that something special was 3oirg to happen. A journey to ibe taken, perhaps, or preparation for important company to be made, or some unusual job to be done-like spring cleaning. Then I remember that mornings n war time are always special. Therc's so much to be done-not 3only by the boys in camp wh6 must answer roll call while the s,tirs still show in the paling sky, but by the hundreds of thousands or workers that are building the machines for this war. And by the rest of us who are doing all the etra. .th,'gs we can to weld to- gether the strength of our coun- try. We should be up extra early these days-every one of us. We started so late to get ready for this war that we need to use every minute now. Years of work must be done in months. We won't always be on the de- fensive, saving what we can at- great cost. Some day we'll be able to take the offensive with the greatest amount of war material the war has yet seen! But until this happens we must work. From sun up until sun down, anl then on into the night. We must build new machines' andi learn new skills and meet new shortages cainIly, confidently,. with a sense of dedication to the one great cause. So, I am glad' these war time mornings bog:n so early and seem so different. I'm glad that I must be up and at work before the sun rises. It not only g'ves me more daylight hours in which to do the extra things that war has, brought about; the Red Cross training and the salvage work and the more careful marketing. But it makes me feel that I am a part of a great whole-close to the boys in camp in this country and abroad and to those vho stand behind thu ones in uniform. 1941 CROP OF AMERICAN NINETEEN MEN LEAVE BABIES LARGEST IN YEARSi FOR CAMP BLENDING The U.
