JOE, GULF COUNTY, FLORIDA, FRIDAY, JUNE 26, 1942 NUMBER 38 Census Shows More Men Than Women In Gulf County's Population Divided Into 3,588 Males and 3,363 Females Gulf county's population of 6,951 in 1940 was composed of 3,588 males and 3,363 females, according to a Florida .State Planning Board analysis of data released by the U. S. Bureau of the Censun, and delayed until quite recently due to wartime activities of the bureau. By race the population included 4,548 native-born whites, 18 for- eign-born whites, and 2,385 ne- groes. Of the 21 foreign-born resi- d'ents of all races, 7 were natural- ized citizens. Density of population was 12.5 persons per square mile, com- pared with a state average of 35 per square mile. There were 6,591 rural non-farm and 360 rural farm persons in the county. The largest five-year age group was that between 25-29 years. In the state the 10-14 year group was largest. The county had 4,146 resi- dents over 21 years of ige and 49 *that were 75 years or older. Of the residents over 25 years of age, the males completed an aver- age of 7 years of school and the females 7.5 years. In the state the average was 8.1 years for males and 8.6- years for females. The county had 55 male and 20 female college graduates. Of children in the 7-13 year age group' 90.7 per cent were attending school. In the 14-15 year group 81.4 per cent were attending. The state average was 93.4 per cent for the 7-13 group and 86.2 per cent for the 1 -4-15 group. SYNTHETIC RUBBER, THIOKOL DESCRIBED New Substance May Retread Mil- lion Tires Monthly Dr. Willard H. Dow of Midland, MTich., realting the discovery and development of a rubber substi- tute that may sea many American 'motorists through the war years, says "I think we will never return to natural rubber, however abun- dant it may become." A noted chemist, Dr. Dow is president of the Dow Chemical company. Outlining the comparatively brief history, of the synthetic rubber "Thiokol" no'w being developed by the Dow company, Dr. Dow said a Kansas City chemist came upon it by chance 13 years ago. From this, Dr. Dow said, may come the substance with which 1,000,000 automobile tires may be retreaded each month starting late this summer to help meet the war-created shortage and solve much of America's even now press- ing transportation problem, .-j .Fifth Registration Is Set for Tuesday All Young Men of Gulf County Be- tween Ages of 18 and 19 Will Register The fifth, and probably the last registration of mrn for selective service will be held throughout the nation next Tuesday, June 30, when young men between the ages of 18 and 19 will be called on to sign up.

S. Bureau of the Census sta- tistics reveals. The county's 85 farms covered 3,941 acres, or 1.1 per cent of the total land in the county, compared with a state av- erage of 24 per cent. This is due to the fact that the greater portion of the county is devoted to theta growing of pine trees for pulp and timber. .Full owners, operated 65 baf-ilfr farms and tenants 20. Of the total 68 were operated by white persons and 17 by negroes. Farms averaged-46.4 acres, with land and' buildings having an aver- age value of $1,326 per farm. The state average was 133.9 acres with the value of lands and buildings averaging $5,211. Of the farms operated by full owners 23.1 per cent were mort- gaged. In the state 27 per cent were mortgaged. The average debt of farms in this class was $519 in Gulf county and $1,694 in the state. Visiting In Georgia 'Mr. and Mrs. R. H.

Large Amount of Rubber Is Being Turned In Here People Urged To Go "All Out" During Last Five Days Of Drive Rubber has. been coming in to service stations in Port St. Joe by the wholesale, retail and shirt tail, and figures compiled yesterday 'by The Star showed that more than seven and one-half tons of scrap rubber had been gathered here, a portion of which has already been sent to Apalachicola, the central collection point for this area. It has been estimated that there is at least another seven or eight. tons of the precious material, kick- ing around our city, and! everyone is urged, during the five remaining days of the drive, to look.in attics, garages and closets and dig out every small bit of old rubber. Large or small, we must have all of it; all the worn-out tires, all the old hot water bottles, girdles, overshoes, bath mats, nipples, fly swatters, garden hose and all the other now useless items among the 50,000 or more different af-' ticles of common use which con- tain rubber..- ._Let's_ set Port St. Joe's quotb .at 15 tons of s-crap ruibbtl-r--sd in.. order to get that amount we must dig up at least seven more tons between now and next Tuesday. Pictures of B oys In Service Wanted This Paper Endeavoring to Publish Pictures of All Gulf County Men In Armed Forces A couple of weeks ago The Star made a request for photo- graphs of men from Gulf county who are serving in the armed forces in order that we might print them in the paper. While the response to our re- quest has been fair, the photos are not coming in fast enough, and again we appeal to those who have boys in the service to bring us their pictures. Invariably, those who have brought in photographs have asked if they would be returned. Yes, all photos will be returned undamaged to their owners. We prefer photos showing the boys in uniform, but if this is not available, any recent picture will be acceptable. Return From Convention Dr. J. R. Norton, president of the local Kiwanis club, and County Agent J. B. White returned Satur- day from the Kiwanis Interna- tional convention held last week in Cleveland, Ohio.

The spoken word barely asserts; the printed word thoroughly convinces. The spoaen word is lost; the printed word remains. Our Country Right or Wrong COULD IT HAPPEN HERE? Imagine reading the following government announcement in The Star:. "All men- of Wewahitchka have been shot. The women have been deported to a concen- tration camp and the children sent to appro- private centers of education. All buildings of the. town were leveled to the ground and\ the name of the town was immediately abolished." Those are the words of an official Nazi statement issued a few days ago, except that the town was named Lidice a quiet, little community of Czecho-Slovakia near Prague. In Lidice (pronounced Leed-eet-say) men and, women lived where their ancestors had lived for more than 600 years. A Lidice son brought his bride to his parents' home; his children were born in the same room where his grandfather first saw light. Above the roofs of the town rose the spire of St. Mar- garet's church, a symbol of community faith since the church's building in 1736. In Lidice, a farmer with earth -sticking to his boots greeted the coal-dusty miner who as a boy sat beside him in school. A store- keeper going to the tailor shop paused on Wilson street-named for our American pres- ident-to gossip with a man carving wood be- fore his front door. Children laughed and played or were drawn to kitchens by the sweet scents of the cakes their mothers were baking. Life was not so easy after the German con- querors came. The men had to do what the rulers ordered. Limits were set on worship in the church and on schooling for the chil- dren. The women didn't have such good things HOME" FRONT With the nation on a war foot- ing, here are some of the things the South may expect in the com- ing months: TransportafTon trou-bles. Fewer and slower passenger trains be- cause 'of heavy troop movement from the many army camps in the South. Crowded buses. No through bus service and no new routes. Gas rationing everywhere. In the Atlantic states to save gaso- line-:lsewhere to conserve tires. More Money An increasing amount of war or- ders for Southern firms, both large and small. The regional WPB re- cently set a million dollars a day as its minimum goal for bringing new business to the South, and it's getting the business now. This means more employment, better jobs, more mney for everyone who buys and sells. But we can't expect to build any new homes, stores or bridges (there goes our White City canal -bridge). And business at roadside stands, tourist camps and resorts will be hit hard. or so much to fix for meals. But the .people lived on-they worked, loved, dreamed-op- pression had been upon them'in the past, but "Wilson" street seemed a reminder that to a people of unconquered spirit, freedom at last returns. Then two men fatally wounded Reinhard' Heydrich who, as Nazi "protector" of Czecho- Slovakia, earned the title of "Hangman." That happened on a highway which doesn't even go through Lidice. The townspeople told t:le Nazi secret police that they didn't' know anything about the two men. But the Gestapo agents learned that Lidice folk still dreamed of freedom. They claimed they found a radio, forbidden by German con-, querors, arms and munitions. Several of the Lidice young;'ien had escaped to join Unlted Nations forces fighting the Germans. And the Nazis followed their policy of bloody ven- geance-a policy which has meant the mur- der, in retaliation for the death of Heydrich, of more than 700 innocent men and women. So when you read or hear the name of Li- dice imagine what it would mean if Wewn- hitchka were crushed to the earth, its name scratched from all records, the bodies of all its men dumped into a common grave, their widows imprisoned, and the: doubly-orphaneed children placed in the .hands of vengeful ana merciless foreigners. SAY IT WITH RUBBER! Service stations of Port St. Joe are stack- ing up piles of old rubber and it is still com- ing in, though not as fast as it should, in the opinion of many. Five days yet remain of the rubber drive and everyone should realize that it is to their interest to add all the waste rubber they can lay their hands on to the nation's victory- ensuring scrap rubber pile. If you haven't routed out of their hiding places in store- rooms, closets, attics and garages, all the dis- carded rubber articles, with the intention of contributing them to the rubber drive, then get busy, for you have but five days more to help your country in this emergency. "Bear down" in your search for rubber. Do your part to provide this vital war sinew that will insure a United Nations victory by "Keepin' 'Em Flying, Sailing and Rolling." The Fourth of July is just around the cor- ner and this year it should mean more tto us than ever before, for it is the symbol of the liberty which we are fighting to preserve and which is in greatest peril since 1776. More Demand For Cotton. The wool problem is growing more serious. Folks will wear more cotton clothing. Clothes won't be rationed this year, but we may ex- pect 'rationing of imported things, including tea and coffee. Pork may grow harder to get be- cause we're sending lots of pork abroad. The same is true of sea. foods and fish, although we prob- ably won't notice it in Port St. Joe; as seafood is ours practically for the taking. Retail deliveries will be greatly curtailed. Most of the milk trucks will be ,off the streets in less than two years unless further steps are taken to save their tires. Horses have already gone back on the job in some Southern cities. Food Control A food requierments committee has been set up under WPB to take control over the nation's food supplies. President Roosevelt's rubber sal- vage campaign is under way, with gas stations paying a cent a pound for the vital stuff. They're serving as collection depots for the gov- ernment. WiPB plans to save a million pounds of brass this year by using substitute materials in electric light bulbs, but this won't affect anything but their appeaarnce. Here in Port St. Joe we find ourselves living in a darker world in order to protect shipping that may pass in the night on the Gulf. But is is far brighter than would be the total blackness of Hitler's world. ------- ---------- Mr. and Mrs. W. T. Chafin had as their guest last Saturday Mrs. P. J.
