Would Construct

Pipeline From St.

Joe to East Coast

Edwards and Ball Will Go To
Washington To Confer With
Government Officials

Learning from press dispatches
that plans were being discussed in
Washington for means of solving
the gasoline and oil shortage on
the east coast and that tentative
plans were for construction of a
pipeline from some point on the
Gulf, W. T. Edwards immediately
got in touch with Congressman
Joe Mansfield' to inform him of
the present facilities in Port St
Joe and making an appointment
for himself and Edwardl Ball to
confer with him next Monday.
Mr. Ediwards, in his telegram to
Mansfield, pointed out that Port
St. Joe, has ample deepwater docks,
pumping facilities, storage tanks
and railroad facilities whidh are
connected with the intracoastal
watJrway by the Gulf county
canal, making all these facilities
available to barges as well as
ocean-going tankers.
He stated that a pipeline from
this city to Jacksonville could be
constructed quickly with a mini-
mum of terrain apd right-of-way
difficulties, and that Jacksonville
already has ample, storage facili-
ties in the matter of tanks,- and
docks for both tankers and'barges
for transportation north and south.

posed pipeline wouTa come nearly

If such a linj could be built,
a large number of tankers which
are not now in use on the Atlantic
coast could be brought into the
Gulf to transport oil and. gasoline
from Texas to this city for trans-
shipment via the pipeline, thus
eliminating the submarine menace.

List After May 18th

A government padlock forged in
March will be placed on the price
of viituallyl every article that ap-
pears on Port St. Joe's shopping
list on May 18.
In a sweeping order Tuesday,
Price Moogul Leon Henderson an.-
nounced that prices would be held
to their highest March levels and
he estimated, the universal price
ceiling would. knock retail costs
about 3 per cent below today's
levels. That is the amount of in-
crease shown by April indices.
But they still will bu about 13 per
cent above August, 1939.
The government's stop-rise or-
*dor will be aimed at such "cost of
living" items as tobacco, meats,
canned goods, clothing and pack-
aged. household drugs. Port St Joe
housewives should find from 60 to
75 per cent of all-foods back at
March costs when the universal
ceiling takes effect in local stores
on May 18.
SAll Port St. Joe, merchants will
be required, after that date, to post
public lists of the ceiling prices on
"cost-of-living" items, and house-
wives who work on a budget sys-
tem can got "'back in the groove"
again when it comes to allotting
hubby's paycheck to the various
budget departments,.
All stores and wholesalers sell-.

inflated prices Americans saved,
twice, as much.
The department of commerce at
Washington revealed this week
that national income has increased
so rapidly that individuals. saved
at an annual rate of $18,500,000,000
last February compared with a
rate of $9,200,000,000 in February
of 1941.
The increase in savings was at-
tributedto the growing scarcity of
coosumers' durable. goods, antici-
pation of higher taxes, increased
purchases of war bonds and to the
indication that "the volume, or
spending to some extent has been
held in check by consumer resist-
ance to rising prices."
Consumer expenditures increased
in February to an annual rate of
$79,100,000,00, o r $7,100,000,000
more than in February of last
year. In terms of the average pur-
chasing power of one dollar in the
1935-39 period, however, the valuv
of goods bought decreased from
an annual rate of $71;400,000,000
to $70,200,,000,000.
The department stated that the
rate of saving 'by individuals has
been accelerating for the last six
months, but warned that it alone
was not sufficient to check infla-
tion. It pointed out that, despite
the Increase in voluntary savings,
the excess consumer income' still
presents a major threat of infla-

Our Country Right or Wrong

DON'T FORGET YOUR SUGAR CARD
Beginning next Monday and continuing
-through Thursday every resident of Port
St. Joe will be required to register and get
a sugar rationing card. If you fail to get
your card it will be just too bad, for you
won't be able to get any sugar unless you
are the- possessor of a card.
Registration will take place at the schools
and citizens are asked to co-operate with the
local rationing board by applying for their
_cards within the allotted time. Also, they are
expected' to conduct themselves as patriots
and when they apply declare voluntarily and
accurately the amount of sugar they have
on hand. Bear in mind that the board nas
-authority to investigate cases where deliber-
ate sugar hoarding is suspected, and that in
'such instances those found guilty will b'e
liable to a severe jail sentence and fine.


Well, at least the big metropolitan daily
-newspapers are reaping-a harvest from the
-patent expose brought up in congress. The
-big concerns involved are taking full-page
advertisements in dailies all over the nation.
Looks sorta like they might be guilty of the
'charges being brought against them.

RAIDS ON JAPAN BRING NEW HOPE

The daring daylight raids on the principal
Japanese cities have brought new hope, new
resolve, to all the United Nations. For the
first time the war has been taken straight
home to the heart of the enemy. The Japan-
ese people have at last had a taste of what
death and destruction from the skies is like.
And, vitally important, these raids are the
forerunners of great things to come.
Japan's weakest point is her industrial
areas. They are concentrated in a relatively
small number of localities. Her cities' suburbs
are spotted with vital aircraft, munitions and
other war plants. Out of those plants come
the supplies which make it possible for her
to maintain her ever-lengthening lines ot
conquest. Out of her shipyards come the
ships to replace the vessels sunk or put out
of action by United Natiions' warcraft. De-
stroy a large part of these industrial instal-
lations-and Japan's capacity to wage war
and to consolidate her victories will be ended.


Up in Wisconsin they've made it an honor
to work on the "graveyard shift" in war pro-
duction plants by calling it the "MacArthur
shift." It is said that workers are eager to
make the shift now instead of being discon-
tented with the 11 p. m. to 7 a. m. hours as
in the past.


Fire defense training is one of the most
essential phases of our local civilian defense
effort, and those who fail to participate in
it are shirking their duty to their community
and their nation.


Seasoned troops, according to an authority,
are those who have been- mustered by the
sergeant and peppered by the enemy.-Titus-
