The vessel, it's pilot house 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. , JACK FOWLER ENTERS HARBORMASTER RACE 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.

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 over the moratorium period. -X--~-- -- J.

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.

The spoken word barely asserts; the printed word thoroughly convinces. The spoken word is lost; the printed word remains. 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? -Grandma's glasses hold about two ounces. - 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. -A BOOMING BUSINESS Jap Attack On U.

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 sincere administration of the of- fice, meeting squarely each issue as it arises, and will use my best judgment as your chosen repre- sentative to serve your best in- terests." -----*----- Oil Leases In Gadsden County While no drilling has, yet been undertaken, there is a mad' scramble for oil leases in Gadsden county.

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 up completely for use of the Ce- fense council.
