just above the water, is resting on
the bottom alout four miles off
the point.
It is understood that as the ship
listed the crew cut loose the lum-
ber on.deck in an effort to right
her, but to no avail. The crew of
18 was picked up by the pilot
boat, which was in charge of Mel-
vin Beck, and all brought safely
to land.
Whether the sinking was caused
by shifting of the lumber or lby
water entering the hold is un'
known, but it is said the Vamar
had a slight list upon leaving the
dock here.
Insurance adjusters are in th
city investigating the accident and
undoubtedlyno official verdict will
be forthcoming until the vessel is
raised.

The federal government must
turn on the full power of ad-
vertising to "sell us the need
for hard fighting," says Prof.
Frank B. Hutchinson of Rutgers
University.
"It must be a planned, bought-
and-paid-for program," he said.
"Increasing costs and declining
revenue will not permit publica-
tions to carry the load any more
than the automobile industry
could donate all planes and
tanks."
To which the editor of The
Star says "Amen, Brother Hut-
chinson."
The professor goes on to say
that plans must be developed
for "some give-Hitler-hell psy-
chology; som e crowd-the-line
bond buying action."
In this last connection, the
editor fully agrees, and has al-
tered the series: of '"Buy Bonds
and Stamps" adVbtisebments now
appearing in The.Star. We feel
that these next three ads will be
read fully by everyone as they
are not concerned ith dry facts
and figures as were:the ads sent
outby the treasury department.
Everyone knows, that their $18.75
bond will be worth: $25 10 years
from now and +at they should
invest a small mount of their
pay every week i4 bonds or
-stamps. -':
What they nee& is something
to make them WANT to buy
those bonds and stamps, and we
believe the next three ads In our
series will go a long way to
making people think what mlghlt
happen if they DON'T buy bonds.
Turn to page three and read the
co-operative ad.

EDITORIAL CORRECTION
On our editorial page today
we state that sugar sales will be
halted at midnight tonight in
order to issue rationing cards.
We looked at the wrong calendar
at the time of writing the edl;
trial, as the date set by the
government is Friday, April 27,
Not ,March 27. So consider our
editorial effective as,of April 27.
Anyway it contains some inte-.

sibilities.

fectioners and Other indnstrial,
users will 'iregister .A pjil 28 and
29 at high schools.
,One memberr of a family can
register the entire household. He
or s'he will' fill out and7sign -an
appllpatton givingg the amaen'g go
and' address- of each appllfcant aind
the amount of sugar on hand. Each
person will receive a ration book:
containing 28 stamps, with each
stamp representing a two-week
sugar allotment. If the stamp is
not useldi in the specified buying
period, it will not be good there,
after.
The registrar will tear out of
the book a sufficient number of
stamps to cover the amount of
sugar in excess of two pounds per
person on hand at the time of
registration. Consumers will give
stamps to storekeepers when pur--
chases are made, and the store.
keepers will use the accumulated
stamps, in turn, when they buy
fresh supplies.
County, Clerk Joe Hunter has
received the. stamp books allotted
to Gulf county but as yet has not
received the registration blanks
or registration instructions.
Housewives of Gulf county want
to keep in mind the fact that no
sugar will be available for a week
after April 27 and s tock up tie
family larder with about two
pounds per person to tidCe tbhm

WOMAN'S



WORK

One hundred years ago
our grandmothers card-
ed, spun and wove wool
and cotton. Men built
factories to do the same
work quicker, and went
into the dress-making
business. Men preserved,
canned and cooked; they
baked, bread and did the
family wash. When ma-
chine-minded man in-
vaded the home to com-
pete with women in their
traditional domestic
tasks, it was but natural
they should have followed
their jobs into a com-
petitive world to seek the
employment of which
they had been deprived.


So men and women, work-
ing together, formed a
way of life peculiar to
this Republic. It is the
way of business and in-
dustrial freedom-free-
dom of individual effort
and collective enterprise.
America grew great and
waxed strong because
men and women were
free to act. With Amer-
ica's traditional free-
doms and very independ-
ence now seriously threat-
ened by Japan, Italy and
Germany, women volun-
teer their services on
many fronts. Whether in
Army camp, Red Cross
work or munitions plant,
they do their part.
Whether it be home-
making or home defense,
modern electric services
give you the time to help
keep democracy at work.

Our Country, &P Right or Wrong

ARE WE READY?
If Port St. Joe with its paper mill, oil line
terminal and huge saw mill is attacked, such
an attack:will undoubtedly be made with in-
cendiary bombs. The most common type of
these bombs-and the most effective type-
is light, small and safe for an enemy to
handle. A single bombing plane can carry
2000 or more of them, and: each of the bombs
is capable. of starting a major fire. This is
the type of bomb that has been carefully
studied by those attending the civilian defense
training school underway here.
What we would like to point out is that
one of the first and most essential steps to
be taken toward defenses to protect our fire
defense, and to that end we urge everyone tp
-absorb as much information as possible on
this vital matter. London and other English
cities would not exist today if their fire-fight-
ing organizations, professional and volunteer
alike, had not produced miracles. Experts
are convinced that it is perfectly possible for
an enemy to reach and attack our indtstrial
centers from bases located in Euiope and
Africa. .
Here, then, is a real civil defense job for
the people of Port St. Joe. Likkpepractically
all small American cities and'towns we do
not have sufficient fire-fighting equipment to
deal with a big attack, though our modern
truck and equipment can cope successfully
with the usual fires that occur here..Not to
---be prepared is to leave ourselves wide open
to tragedy and utter disaster in case of any
enemy action.
Everyone possible, whether a member of
the auxiilary firemen's corps of the county de-
fense council or not, should be instructed in
fire-fighting, and particularly in taking care
of incendiary bombs. While our fire depart-
ment is equipped 'with most of the necessary
tools, several.:.items' are missing, particularly
approved gas mfiasks, and this additional
equipment should be purchased as fast as the
rather restricted resources of the city will'
permit.
German-fire raids on English cities have
slowed to a standstill for just one reason:
The British, have learned to cope with them
and rob them of their terrors, and this infor-
mation gain-'ed from actual experience is nowv
available to all of us. An enemy does not
waste materials and energy when it becomes
obvious that the results obtained are not
worth the. price paid.
In short, fire caused by enemy action caIn
be licked. It need hold no terrors for an in-
formed, prepared, equipped people.
Let's be ready, St. Joe!

Isn't it a grand and glorious feeling to
bask in these warm spring days? Yeah, but
we've still got a cold snap or two coming, if
past springs are any criterion.

Headlines shout of defense factory workers
striking. Wonder what would happen if-the
taxpayers decided to go on strike?

SUGAR RATIONING TO BEGIN
At midnight tonight all sugar sales in the
United States will be halted for about a week
while registration of every nan, woman and
child takes place. And probably most of us
are asking if there really is a shortage.
The answer to that could be no, yes, per-
haps-the correct solution depending upon a
number of inter-related factors.
Estimated sugar needs for 1942 are 7,090,-
000 tons for domestic consumption, including
candy and soft drinks; 560,000 tons for Great
Britain; 224,000 tons for West Indies con-
sumption; 75,000 tons for other markets, and
1,200,000 tons for alcohol for explosives. This
is a total of 9,149,000 tons needed.
Stocks of sugar on hand, plus anticipated
production, amount to 3,150,000 tons; West
Indies production is estimated at 5,108,000
tons, and Hawaiian production normally avail-
able at 900,000 tons-a total of 9,159,000 ton,,
just a bit over total needs if civilian consump-
tion went on unrationed. Our imports from
the Philippines must be written off at this
time, and it is doubtful if it will be possible
to transport 900,000 tons from Hawatl.
Now,. after considering all available sugar
stocks, we consider various possibilities.
It might happen that a crop failure may
occur in some producing area; perhaps one
of the ,areas outside our continent may be
cut off from shipping by enemy action; wai
demands for sugar may exceed present esti-
mates, particularly if grain stocks are not
available to make a large amount of the al-
cohol needed for explosives-these are the
main factors that might occur to cut down
the available amount of sugar.
If none of these occur, there would be no
shortage and we could all have our 113
pounds a year. But if any of these events
should happen, there would be a shortage
which might hamper the manufacture of ex-
plosives.
So, in our humble opinion, the government
is exercising sound judgment in rationing be-
fore a possible shortage develops. We, per-
sonally, are more than willing to forego that
extra spoonful of sugar on our morning
grapefruit if it will help the war effort, and
if it turns. out that our little sacrifice was
unnecessary and that there is.plenty of'sugar,;
after all, we're not going to grouse about
it, but will feel that we're doggone lucky to
have plenty of sugar when we consider that
people in some countries have no sugar at all.
So the answer as to whether or not we
will have a sugar shortage still is-no, yes,
perhaps.


If you happen to come in contact with any
military information of any kind, keep it un-
der your hat. The government is pushing a
"serve in silence" drive and it should be given
the full co-operation of everybody in Port St..
Joe.- Many a ship has been sunk because
someone talked too much. Telling. what you
know about military matters amounts to glv-
ing "lip service" to the enemy with a ven-
geance. He has spies aplenty-and you never
know who they are.


We were listening to a group of men talk-
ing about the war the other day and, as usual
in such a group, the fellow who was doing
the -loudest talking apparently knew the least
about what he was talking about.


In the old days the the kids used to be in-
terested in the bread their mothers made, but 1
nowadays they're interested in the dough
their fathers make.
r
We're still inquiring as to what happened e
to the "$30 Every Thursday" plan? It will I
probably bob up in the next presidential elec- h
tion campaign. p

Now is the time of the year (even though V
it is an "off year" election) when the "dear c
peepul" are dear to the hearts of the poll- h
ticians.

LEWIS POINTS TO
HIS PAST RECORD

(Continmed from Page 1)
"It is my belief that no good
purpose, would be served by sub-
mitting an intended platform at
this time. Conditions are changing
daily. The war is going so fast
that we cannot foresee what the
requirements of tomorrow may be
Public officeholders and the Am-
erican people must meet these
conditions and requirements as
they arise.
"I believe it is the duty of
everyone, especially an office-
holder, to lend hIis or her whole-
hearted co-operation and support
to our war effort. We must win
this' war, and that is our first and
foremost thought. We, as indii-
.vidua'is, and the state, county and
city governments, have not, as yet,
felt the effects of this war like we
shall in the future. In times like
these when it is required that thu
federal government shall exert its
taxing powers to the uttermost, we
should be very careful in our state
and local governments about tax-
ation. There are certain funda-
mental requirements of our stat-
and local governments, such as
schools, health and law enforce-
ment, that must go on.
"I shall be pleased to discus's
frankly any and all issues that
may. develop during the campaign.
If the good people of Gulf. county
think that my experience, coupled
with my limited ability, qualif)
me for the office of your repre-
sentative in the legislature, then
I shall appreciate your vote and
support, and if elected, I promise
you an honest, courageous and

cil has made arrangements to

ary policeman and an auxiliary
fireman at the schools in the event
of an emergency, and these men
will assist the teachers in, prevent-
ing unnecessary alarm or fear.
It is also requested! that should
we have an air raid or other enemy
action in Port St. Joe that no one
attempt to use telephone com-
munications, as' they will be tiec

would, therefore, create an addi-
tional demand on the telephone
system and might result in the
slowing up of vital services at a
time when they are sorely. needed.
