Everyone Urged To Turn In
Every Scrap of Old Rubber
To Rub Out the Axis

Residents of Port St. Joe began
Monday. making a direct contribu-
tion toward winning the war by
assembling all the old scrap rub-
ber around their, homes, garages
and yards and turning it over to
local filling stations. 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

All scrap rubber should be re-
moved from metal, wood or leather
before being turned in to the fill-
ing stations.
Governor Spessard L. Holland
this week called' on Florida citi-
zens to maintain the state's leader-

Port St. Joe Within Dim-out
District'To Prevent Sil-
houetting Ships

Word was received here Monday
from General Albert H. 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.

Our Country Right or Wrong

ANY OLD RUBBER TODAY?
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."

BODY OF NEGRO IS
FOUND IN CANAL

C. A. Phelps -of Highland View,
while fishing in the Gulf county
canal Sunday discovered the body
of Henry Andrews, colored em-
ploye of the St. Joe Lumber and
Export company, floating in the
water.
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

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-

At the meeting of Gulf County

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,

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.

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.
