The nation- wide campaign began by direction of President Roosevelt, who called upon every citizen to turn in 'every bit of rubber you can possibly spare." It will last through Tues- day, June 30. Arrangements. have be'on made with the national oil industry to collect rubber through the filling stations, where one cent a pound will be -paid for it-unless indi- viduals prefer to donate it. All money in excess of th-d cost of col- lection will be turned over to the United Service Organization, the Navy Relief Fund and, the Red Cross. Acceptable scrap rubber is listed as follows: Tires, inner tubes, hot water bottles, crepe rub-ber, soles, tennis shoes, rubber sheeting, rub- ber 'belting, rubber heels, boo's and overshoes, pl.umibers' suction cups,, rubber pads and. m- ting, bathing- caps, sam'pl.. t.e se* iopn. hard rubber lhi-i, !'li"n..

Blanding of Jacksonville, co-ordinating di- rector, actions -division, Florida State Defense Council, that effec- tive as of June 12 lighting restric- tions for that portion of the. Fourth Corps Area included within the boundaries of the Southern De- fense Command, which includes that portion of Florida west of the Apalachicola river, are now opera- tive and will be enforced for the purpose of preventing silhouetting of friendly shipping, to the advant- age of enemy submarines. Port St. Joe has been -on a volun- tary "dim-out" basis for some time, with the matter of lighting left en- tirely, up to the individual, but now our dim-out orders come direct from headquarters and violators will be subject to penalties. The Star has already published the restrictions applying to: light- ing, and most of our readers are familiar wilt them, such as 'the prohibition on iliuminated signs. IIlo:d liisLri, 1li(ir itoT 'or lig riit -ss4 ; ball, exterior lighting within 50u yards of the coast line and bonfires and all other forms. of lighting on beaches. Our street lights have been ade- quately shaded, store windows kept dark after nightfall and win- dows in homes facing the coastline have been darkened. But perhaps all of us do not know the restric- tions on motor vehicles. -Motor vehicles are not all-owed on beaches at night. No bright headlights or spotlights will be permitted on highways or streets within 500 yards of ana parallel to the coast line. Dimmed lights only will be ;permitted. Parking lights only can be used within a distance of 500 yards ,of the coast line when a vehicle is facing sea- ward. Local officials are authorized to make such further restrictions on the use of lights as may be con- sidered necessary. The navy de- partment, in co-operation, retains control of night navigation lights and is maintaining continuous off- shore patrols to determine objec- .ionaible lights. Sheriff B. E. Parker states -that his office will be ready night or lay to assist air raid wardens and Auxiliary police with any problems they may .encounter in enforcing hese regulations. Everyone is warned to exercise extreme care in the use of lights n order to avoid any suspicion of signaling.

In all war activities to date, Gulf county has come through with colors flying. Now the drive is on for the collection of old rub- ber of all kinds and we feel sure that our peo- ple will again be in the front ranks when the drive ends June 30. Reme.mbler that every old tire, tube, hot water bottle, rubber heels or soles-anything made of rubber-will help rub out the Axis. -'"All old rubber must be put back into circu- lation in our all-out war effort, and gasoline filling stations have been designated as re- ceiving stations for the scrap. One cent per pound will be paid for all the rubber brought in, but we feel sure that the people here will not be thinking in terms of money when. they bring in their scrap, and will donate it. Cash received from the sale of it will go to various war causes. So dig up all the old rubber around the house and garage and use it to bounce Hitler out of Berlin. With passage of the pay increase bill for American fighting men this makes our war- riors the best paid in the world. Australia's army pay is approximately $47 monthly, Can- adas $33, and in Japan the amount is a mu- nificent 30 cents per month. HAVE YOU GOT YOUR CAR STAMP? By July 1, if you're still lucky enough to have tires on your car, it will be necessary to dig down for $5 to purchase a new "use" stamp for the old bus. Better go down to the postoffice today, if you have the necessary dinero, and have Postmaster Drake fix you up. You may think you can get by without se- curing one of these stamps, but in our opin- ion this part of the country will soon come under the gasoline rationing restrictions, and the new stamps are numbered. If and when we get gasoline rationing the number on your stamp will be placed on your rationing card, so-no stamp, no gas. TAX DEDUCTIONS FOR SICKNESS The amount of money which the average citizen will have left after he pays his taxes will grow steadily smaller. The present fed- eral tax program is designed to drastically reduce public purchasing power, as well as to produce needed revenue. As a result, many families will be in a dif- ficult position when faced with some ines- capable special expenditure. Sickness is am example of that. The tax:drain will take from millions of families excess money that should be used for doctor, dental and hospital bills. It has been proposed that congress recog- nize this fact and write into the tax laws a provision whereby the individual can deduct money spent for medical care in making up his income tax statement. Such a provision seems completely sound, to say nothing of its humanitarian aspects, for it wotild be a definite contribution to bet- ter public health. One thing we don't like, but will have to get used to, is the elimination of the scratch- ing surface on one side of the boxes of safety matches. Seems like every time we go to light a match we get the wrong side of the box. Sunday was Flag Day, but apparently as fas as most of the people in Port St. Joe were concerned it was just another day. Keep smiling-and buy War Bonds! The Low Down from Willis Swamp S- a Editor The Star: This idea of rationing has a lot of folks upset. Scufflin' around with the truth so as to get a sugar card is annoyin'. They're in the same boat with the nice old lady who was horrified with the idea that somethiu' good' could be said even for tho devil. "You gotta ad- mit," said the new minister, "that keeping' busy and on the job is a good trait. You know the devil don't loaf," he said. "Alright," says Henry, "what's that got to do with rati-onin'?" "Well," I says, "if rationin' of cloth will git rid of the sissy pleats in men's pants, it's sayin' some- thin' good for it. And furthermore if we all co-operate mebbe we can put some pressure on mama and the gals and slow 'em up before they grab everything-pleats or no pleats-and we go back to kilts." "With the hoss and Ibuggy coming' back on account of no tires, and runaways again in prospect, is an- other reason too," I says, "for co- operatin' with the government and mebbe doin' something' about ra- tionin' mama a less scary regalia before a lot of folks git run over or killed."

Mr. Phelps immediately came to this city to. report his discovery to Deputy Sh'eriff Homer Coe, who retrieved the corpse and carried it to White City, where an inquest was held, the coroner's jury re- turning a verdict of "death from drowning." The body was buried in the colored plot of the old St. Joe cemetery. Sheriff B. E. Parker stated there was no signs of violence and that undoubtedly Andrews accidentally fell into the canal. ----XS----- CITY BOARD PASSES DEFENSE ORDINANCE (Continued From Page 1) such period. Provision is also made giving authority to authorized persons to enter premises and extinguish or order extinguished any lights that may be showing during a black- out. Such authorized persons may enter buildings forceably if neces- sary. The ordinance gives the mayor authority to appoint special police during emergencies and also pro- vides that air raid wardens and 'other agents of the defense coun- cil' shall have the same powers as are-4onferred upon special police. Ne'rspecial police or wardens will be allowed to carry firearms while on duty unless authorized by the Andy's 'Slanguage' Proves Contagious Judge Hardy, In "The Courtship of Andy Hardy," Uses Many Salty Slang Phrases Andy Hardy's modernistic lingo is contagious. It has even spread to Judge Hardy! In "The Courtship of Andy Hardy," latest picture in the Hardy Family series .playing at the Port theatre Sunday and Monday, these are just a few of the salty slang phrases,.- used by Lewis Stone, in his role as the Judge. Speaking to staid Ma Hardy, he boldly remarks, "Patch my panty- waist, mother. You're a ball of fire in that outfit!" Another, time, while talking to his daughter, he uses the phrase, "guaranteed to knock over any lovelorn dilly." 'Still again, he questions Mickey Rooney thus: "Have you drizzled down to one particular cookie?" It will have to be admitted that the Judge actually is copying Andy in each instance. But that made it. none the easier for the usually im- peccable Mr. Stone to handle his diaoglue. If it keeps up, he threat.- ens to wage a one-man war against script writers sheriff, chief of police or mayor. Anyone violating provisions of the ordinance will be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and will be sub- ject to a fine of not more than $200 or i.mprisonim'Rt for not more than 60 days, or both, in the dis- cretion of the municipal judge. Advertising doesn't cost-it PAYS! Advertntino doesn't cori--it PAYS' LEGION POST VOTES TO FINISH SPOTTING TOWER At the meeting of Gulf County Post 116, American Legion, held Tuesday) evening it was unani- mously voted by the members to take over the job of completing the airplane spotting tower, work on which has lagged *since con- struction started some six weeks ago. This action on the part of the local Legionnaires is indeed com- mendable and should be heartily approved by the defense council, which has no funds with which to complt'c the structure. The Legion post also moved! to aid in every way possible the cam- paign under way for the salvage of rubber. -----Sr---- LEHMANN TELLS OF WAR SAVINGS PLAN (Continued; From Page 1) scribed in a like manner. Lehmann stated that in the re- cent "Every American" drive that residents of Gulf county pledged to buy $40,554 worth of bond's and stamps per year, but that on the basis of May purchases the yearly amount would run over $212,0001 per year. Mr. Lehmann said he found the same conditions prevailing all over the state and that fhe state's May quota of $5,794,000 was oversub- scribled by more than a million dollars. Florida's quota for June has been set at $7,500,000, ana each month after that the quota will be $9,000,000. A man chase after a woman, gets married and then cusses. him. s-lf for having run so hard. MORALE Writers of military history often overlook the strategic part that women play in the wars men wage. It is nevertheless true that the fighting morale of men on the battle-front rises no higher than the faith and fortitude of the women they leave behind. Whether it was grandmother writing words of encouragement to her soldier by candlelight or her granddaughter doing a man's job as an electric welder in a munitions plant, it is the women; whose sacrifice and devotion inspire men to face fire with the traditional courage of our fighting forebears. Just as fearless Joan d'Arc once led the legions of France to victory, the American' woman who gives her heart and hand to the cause of country becomes the decisive factor in the conflict. Electricity in a large way meets today's critical challenge. The industry is prepared to produce the power needed in this great emergency. And the general use of electricity gives women the freedom to give more of themselves in pro- ducing munitions and in building morale. Modern electric services give you the time to help keep democracy at work. Florida Power Corporation PAGE TWO THE STAR, PORT ST.
