READY FOR ANY EVENTUALITY THE STAR Published Every Friday at Port St. Joe, Fla, by The Star Publishing Company W. S.

The spoken word barely asserts; the printed word thoroughly convinces. The spoken word is lost; the printed word remains. "The indications are that the needs of the army, the navy, public health and civilian populations can be met by scientific planning and complete co-operation without any de- terioration in the quality of medical educa- tion and medical service," says the Journal of the American Medical association. War is making heavy demands on Ameri- can medicine. Thousands of doctors are be- ing called to duty with the military forces. Other thousands are giving a part of their time to selective service boards and other agencies. But despite this, we feel sure that American medicine will meet the crisis with complete success. Nowhere else in the world are doctors given such rigorous training. Nowhere else in the world are there so many doctors. No- where else in the world has such astonishing progress been made against the bacterial killers. The average American is healthier than the average citizen of any other" coun- try. He lives a longer, happier life. And you can give American medicine credit for that. Those who guard this nation's health are doing a magnificent job-and they are ready for all eventualities. The Japanazis call the raids on several of their principal cities by American bombers "barbarous and unworthy of a civilized na- tion." Wonder what they call' their own air raids on Pearl Harbor, Manila and cities in Java and Australia? They surely weren't pink tea parties. Our Country Right or Wrong 'ALMOST READY FOR BUSINESS After a considerable time our civilian de- fense organization is at last taking on a semblance of purpose and determination as the training course nears its close with a ma- jority of those signing up still in the run- nirig. It is true a goodly portion of the school- ing has been somewhat dry and uninterest- irlg, but the volunteers have checked in night after night and when they complete their training they will have the satisfaction of 'knowing that when the organization begins to function it will do so with a complete har- mony of purpose-that of protecting our homes, our loved ones and our businesses in case of an emergency. SWhen the schooling is over and the defense organization begins to function as it should we do not want to let it's efficiency lapse through thinking that "it can't happen here," for it CAN happen here, just as well as any other coastal city in the nation. Undoubtedly Chairman George Snowden and Co-ordinator T.':V A-orris w-ill- see. that our defense unit is kept at t6p-peak efficiency by calling for practice drills by all squads at unexpected moments, just as would be the case in an emergency, and we feel sure that every mem- ber of every unit will be at his or The ,airplane warning unit is now func- tioning smoothly and it behooves every vol- unteer who signed up as an observer to re- port.for duty promptly at their designated time, for this is one unit of the defense or- ganization that the army-insists be .kept in perfect operating order, and that cannot be done without the full co-operation of all the volunteer observers.

A great deal has been said about eating certain vegeta- bles topbtain vitamins, yet if these foods are not handled correctly by the homemaker, the vitamin content is lost. Nobody seems to know exactly what vitEmins are, they furnish no energy; they build no tissue, yet they seem to be necessary in making the different organs of the body take advantage of the foods that we2 eat. Mrs. Homemaker's job on the home front becomes a battle for the conservation of vital vitamins.
