The proclamation states that the "protection of American commerce and that of the United Nation. from damage or destruction by enemy attack, involves the effec- tive control of artificial lighting along' the southern boundaries of the Southern Defense Comsnand and for a reasonable distance in- land therefrom."

In regard to enforcement of the regulations the order states: "It il requested that state and municipal police, and other officials and civilians within the military area . assist the agencies charged with enforcing these restrictions by reporting to them the names and addresses of all persons be- lieved to have violated these re- strictions, and such other informa- tion as may be called for by these agencies." WAR BDONDS Aside from the sixty-mile an hour Mosquito Torpedo Boats, the Sub Chasers are the speedsters of our Navy. Light' and fast, they are the eyes of the Fleet on the water. They displace approximately 1,500 tons and cost about $2,400,000 each. We need many of these powerful, fast little boats to cope with the treacherous submarine type of na- val warfare fostered by our ene- mies. Everybody can help pay for more Sub Chasers by putting at least ten percent of his income into War Bonds. Buy Bonds or Stamps every pay day. Buy them from your bank, your post office, or from your office or factory through the Payroll Savings Plan. i AGE TWO v-- ----- THE STAR Published Every Friday at Port St. Joe, Fla., by The Star' Publishing Company W.

Well, as long, as 1 AM a -ucke-.the country can be mighty thankful, jfr tihe moment I stop being a sutcker and become an active part of the armed forces of America, war will have come to the United States on enemy wings. I am'a volunteer civilian observer of the Aircraft Warning Service of the U. S. army, a "sucker" to some of the folks on the out- side looking in. I spend hours developing 'spotter's neck,' and "tower climber's .calves'' for nothing-thank God. I froze during long night .hours last winter; I stood in soaking rain peeriig 'into weather 'listed as zero-zero; I spent hours listening for' nothing.- :n weather when even the birds were on instru- ments! SI have reported -the same 61'd transports, the same army planes; the same Cubs and Wacos. I haVe xiorn enough clothes to start a rummage sale, 'and often looked like one, those long winter watches last February. Some of the "temporary patriots" dropped out after a few weeks. But me, I'll stay witn the A. W. S., thank you,'and'here's why: I like to feel I'm an important cog in .the vast machinery ot America's defenses. Silly, isn't it, but it's true. The minute I take over' the watch I become for a few short hours just that important. I'm no longer a clerk, an editor, a mechanic, a gardner or a minister. I'm an important guy! Thousands of men and millions of dollars worth of equipment are waiting for MY call to action. Hundreds of thousands of wardens, fire watchers, auxiliary police and firemen can sleep peacefully as long as I am AWAKiE AND ON THE JOB, and my wife and little girl can go to market, and to school, in safety as long as you other spotters are on the job during the daylight hours. At the "unknown address" in New York trained experts are alert for MY'phone call. I'M the one the folks with the O.C.D. arm- bands depend upon. Their splendid training and hours of study will never be called into action unless some chap like me gives the word. Not an interceptor plane of the Inte-- ceptor Command will leave the ground in combat unless some spotter like myself gives the word. Why, I can even get generals out of bed in the middle of the night, and be thanked for it. If "suckers" can be that important and be- ing one means we never have to give that fatal report of "Many -Multi-Motor Very High Seen Hazel One One North- east Five Miles.- South," I'll gladly BE one for the duration.-The Observation Post. '* * There is something for a lot of people in Port'St. Joe who are not now in the civilian defense setup.to think about. We need a lot more "suckers" to man the local observation. post, and as we have pointed out before, these ground observers are the key men (or wo- men) in the entire system-without his vigil- ant watch the entire system would not func- tion. Each and every resident of the city who is not alerady taking part in defense activl-, ties should volunteer, as an observer at once, and work wholeheartedly, with those patriotic observers who are now. working with the First Interceptor Command. This is the sole way that civilians can help guarantee that a future Pearl Harbor will not happen in Port St. Joe or some other section of the United States.' ICKES WAS RIGHT Two years ago Secretary of the Interior Harold Ickes urged the construction of pipe- lines from sources of oil supply to the east- ern seaboard, pointing out the difficulties that would arise should we become involved in the war.. He said that railroads and steamships would not be able to transport petroleum pro- ducts as all available shipping space would be needed elsewhere. He was hooted and laughed at and' the railroad and steamship .companies opposed his proposition in every way possible. Now the-capacity of'railroad transportation has proved. -inadequate, and many tankers have been sunk or taken from the eastern seaboard run for other, purposes, with the-re- sult that the eastern coast now has gasoline rationing and all efforts are being made to build pipelines and barge canals to augment the rapidly dwindling oil.supply of the east. Had Ickes..been given a free hand to go ahead with his idea two years ago there would be no oil shortage and no rationing. We would not say that a man who allows his personal animosity toward some indi- vidual keep him from doing his part in na- tional defense is unpatriotic. But we will say that his mind is too narrow to guage without a very small micrometer.-Highlands County News. We stood across the street last week and watched the merry-go-round set up adjoining Zim's store and sorta wished we could hop a horse and take a few turns-but we were afraid it would affect our dignity. With rationing of this and that in the off- ing people won't have to say "I can't afford that," they'll be saying "I can't get that.'' . A lot of people are going to have to pay up their back bills by July 10 or stop. eating and go around in the nude. . In an emergency friends may occasionally fail you-but a little cash soaked away lends a mighty helpful hand. Buy War Bonds! r--- - Cheerful liars are not always good fisher- men.

The first railroad in America- imade of log rails and flat cars that were pushed by slaves-was built to Port St. Joe from the Chattahoochee river, to bring cot- ton down to the ships from Glor- .gia and Alabama cotton fields. It had a half dozen magnificent race tracks, and the finest inns and taverns, and beautiful homes . and then, one day, .along toward the middle of the last century, a ship put in with a cargo from the West Indies.

Advertising doesn't cost-It PAYS! TO THE PEOPLE OF GULF COUNTY I am deeply grateful for the honor and confidence that you have conferred upon me. No man was ever sur- rounded by more loyal friends. I especially wish to ex- press to them my sincere and genuine gratitude. To those, who for various reasons, saw fit to support my good opponent, I wish to say that I hold no ill will, for the right of free ballot is one of our dearest heritages, and I shall honestly and sincerely represent all of our people. Trying times are ahead of us. Differences which may have existed during the campaign, I fervently hope shall be speedily forgotten and that we shall all stand to- gether, united for a greater Gulf County and Florida, with as our immediate goal an all-out effort for a speedy and conclusive victory in our war efforts. I reaffirm the promises made during the campaign, and solicit the support, advice and assistance of all to help me represent you in an able, fearless and conscientious manner. I shall gratefully and humbly represent and serve all of the people all of the time, and I shall con- sider it a privilege to have you call on me to serve you. Gratefully yours, i E. CLAY LEWIS, Jr. Kenney Promises Sugar to Canners (Continuedl From Page 1) The number of persons in the family and the length of time in which the :fruit would be used up will be the deciding factors on just how much sugar will be allowed!. Applications for sugar for can- ning must be made on Office of Price Administration Form No. R-315 by an adult member of the family requiring the sugar. "Individual applicants are re- quired to fill out their own appli- cation blanks," stated Mr. Ken- ney, "and turn them in at the lo- cal board office. Applications will be reviewed at the regular weekly meeting of the board and the ap- plicants notified' of the decision reached. Applicants are expressly requested not to ask board. mem- bers or workers to fill in their ap- plication blanks for them, as they already have all the work they can do." Incidentally, and aside, we un- derstand that some kind of a checkup will be made on amounts of fruit canned to see. that the ex- tra sugar is being used for the purpose specified. ---+----- Roy 'Stanley., who is working in a Mobile, Ala., shipyard, s pnt the week-end here as the guest of Mrs. A.

JOE WITH THESE SPECIALS or FridayP E Saturday for Friday Saturday The Low Down from Willis Swamp Editor The Star: When I come back from fishing' Monday, the opening' day of the season, I began to realize that I ain't as young as I usta be, and 1 got t? wondering' if I wuz gonna live to be 100 or so-I'm gittin close to that mark now. But I don't guess I will, for so far no- body has devised a system where you can live much longer than 100 years. Folls we know noww-big shot or little--won't be here 100 years hence. You'll be a dead pigeon in 2042. In 2040 there'll not be one person in 10 thousand who will have the haziest notion as to who you were, if somebody would scrape off a tombstone and find your name. Nobody could do a better' stunt than to sit down some evening' and, think over with himself as to the jam he may be in, in 2042, and thereafter through eternity, if he don't curb his style somewhat- and pronto. And Eternity, the best definition I ever heard was the one that Kat- isiby Higgins told me one day when we was, cleaning' out a bee tree way down in the Swamp. He said that if a bird, was to tale a drop of water from the Atlantic and hop one hop per day and put it in the Pacific, It would only be, sun-up on the first day in eternity when he had moved all the Atlan- tic ocean to the Pacific.
