Unhappy wives childless due to relieve-
able functional weakness may now enjoy
the desires and activity of Nature's most

S its streets, its bridges, its
water supply system, its offices,
factories and its homes.

We built it according to our own
needs and our own desires. We
didn't model it after any other
town.
We used our own local Construc-

Our own carpenters, plumbers,
mechanics, electricians, -architects,

We're still building our town the

builders, our .own money.
Every family that lives in our

you're bound to benefit your neigh-
bors.
That's the way Construction has
always worked. Individuals build
freely for themselves, their busi-
ness, for their families. And others
benefit too.
The life-blood of Construction is
the opportunity to 'build as we
choose, when we choose, where we
choose. That's the meaning of
individual initiative free enter-
prise.
That's the American way of
building. And we're still building
our town the American way.

Our-.Country Right or Wrong

MORE AUXILIARY FIREMEN NEEDED
It has been brought out at the training
.school sessions of the Gulf County Defense
Council that there is a shortage of auxiliary
firemen, mainly due to the fact that the ranks
of .that unit are being depleted by the calling
*of draftees by the selective service board.
This, :while it may seem a small matter, is
really .'serious, for in case of an aerial bomb-
inrg the auxiliary firemen's unit would be one
cof ithe :most important units in our defense
orgariization,. for adequate fire protection in
such 4n eventuality would be necessary to
save lives and property.
Fori the best protection to our city at least
one person in t'very home should have civil
defense training in the handling of incendiary
lhmanbs and fire control, for when fire come*
--rom the skies, from the saboteur or in any
,other way-we must be ready to meet it.
We won't say that Gus Creech, who is in
charge of the auxiliary firemen's squad, is at
fault in not having his men present at the
civil protection course now underway, but
the fault lies somewhere-more than likely_
with those who signed up as auxiliary fire-
men. But regardless of where the fault lies,
volunteers are needed for this squad, and it
.behooves every able-bodiied man in Port St.
Joe who is not already assigned to some
-other defense activity, to join Gus' squad. In
fact, it wouldn't be a bad idea for the ma-
jority of the members of the defense 'organi-
zation to take this course. ...

WE CAN ALL AID IN PRICE CONTROL
Housewives of Port St. Joe are finding
that the trend of all commodities is steadily
upward, though at a slower tempo than in
World War I. However, it is expected that
before the end of this year the official cost-
.of-living index will climb 10 to 12 points.
That this constitutes a serious problem for
the consumer, goes without saying. And it
:also imposes some very definite obligations
*on the consumer, which he must discharge in
the interest of the country as well as himself.
First, don't hoard. Hoarding can only pro-
'duce abnormal price increases. And, if it goes
far enough, the government will expropriate
excessive stocks in the hands of either con-
sumers or dealers.
Second, take full advantage of the infor-
mation concerning commodities, which is be-
ing issued. Adequate substitutes exist for
most products which are either scarce or ex-
cessively costly. This applies to all foods,
clothing and household supplies.
Third, don't waste. Make everything you
buy or own, from a can of beans to a set of
tires, do maximum duty. Waste creates
iaeedless shortages and needless price in-
creases.
Our-manufacturers and retailers, in spite-
"of what you may think, are doing their best
to protect your standard of living under ex-
-tremely difficult conditions. And you, in your
role of consumer, must help.

A lot of people these days want both sides
,.of-their bread buttered.

Economy-minded senators have turned their
attention to the elimination of the National
Youth Administration as evidence piles up
that this relief agency is not only bending
its efforts towards perpetuating itself, but is
using machine tools that are vitally needed
in war production.
It has been openly charged that the NYA
has several thousand new machines and
metal-working production tools in its work-
shops scattered throughout the country, and
that more than half of them are of types des-
perately needed by private industry.
More important, however, is the fact that
the NYA, in a desperate effort to maintain
its position, is recruiting young men and wo-
men on the slightest pretext. In the evidence
brought out it is apparently not necessary to
be either out of work or in need of a jqb,
despite the fact that the agency was brought
into existence solely as a relief measure.
Both the NYA and the CCC have been
cited as perfect examples of. the difficulty e:-
countered in trying to do away with agen-
cies that have outlived their usefulness. It
is well known in Washington tfiat it is al-
most impossible to eliminate such an agency,
and experience has shown that often it is
difficult to keep them from expanding.
According to the Congressional Record,
which 'is received daily by the editor of The
Star through the courtesy of Congressman
Bob Sikes, Senator McKellar of Tennessee
is sponsoring a measure to rid the govern-
ment of both the NYA and the CCC. While
admitting that both agencies served a useful
purpose during the depression, McKellar con-
tends that they are, no longer needed and that
the money should be spent on war produte-'
tion.
Estimates that the United States will soon
be faced with a critical labor shortage in war
industries has knocked out the last argument
for retaining the NYA and the. CCC as inde-
pendent agencies. With the public demanding
that agencies not vital to the war effort be
eliminated, it is believed that sdme change
might take place in the near future, regard-
less of the attitude of administration spokes-
men.

A THE WASTEBASKET SPEAKS
I am the editorial wastebasket at the of-
fice of The Stuart News. I am fat, happy
,and -coritented. The editors feed me well.
Every morning for breakfast, when I am
lean and empty, they start stuffing me with
government reports and pollyanna propa-
ganda. Every noon I get a bushel of prissy;
long-winded reports from Washington. By
evening, when- the office boy comes around
to empty me, I am stuffed fatter than a
Strasbourg goose with junk that was meant
to be printed. They call it pap.
I have devoured tons of printed matter
from the OPM, the state welfare board and
other bureaus. I have eaten ream upon ream
of congressmen's speeches. They could prac-
tically print the paper from the useless stuff
that: is mailed here in envelopes stamped
"Official Business."
To me, this is a new era of prosperity. I
am sorry to report, however, that the men
who feed me seem to be losing their tempers.
They throw my food to me and cuss the "red
tape and bureaucracy that is hampering our
war effort."
I don't know what they are talking about.
From the stuff I've been eating, it's hard to
tell that there's a war going on. Stuart
News.

When Jake Belin demonstrated that gas
mask at the defense council school Monday
evening he looked like a mule wearing a feed,
bag.

Trouble with most of our relief agencies is
that the bigwigs get the relief and those
who need relief get the leavings.

Keep smiling-and buy :Defense Bonds!
