Attention All

Observers

Now that the airplane spotting
tower has been completed and
will be ready for use as soon as
a telephone is installed, all those
who have signed up as observers
are asked to report between now
and next Tuesday at The Star
office, as shifts have been as-
signed to everyone ard if there
are any changes to be made the
chief observer would like to
get things straight right away.
It will be necessary for those
on night duty to serve four-hour
shifts, as there are not enough
signed up as yet to cut each
shift down to two hours. All ob-
servers are therefore requested
to try to bring another person

Class 1-B Men

To Be Inducted

Into Army Soon

Registrants With Minor Physical
Defects To Fill Non.Com-
batant Jobs

Word comes from Washington
that the army has announced its
intention of starting the induction
of regular quotas of men placed in
the deferred 1-B selective service
class because of minor physical
defects.
Beginning August 1, men with
only one eye or complete dafiness
in one ear, among others, will be
inducted fcr limited military serv-
ice, provided they otherwise meet
i requirements.
They will be assigned, to duty
with corps area service commands
and the war department overhead
organization, and thereby release
an alniost equal number of fully
qualified soldiers frm service with
task forces.
Induction, under the new stan-
dards, "will be limited to those
with minor physical defects who
are able to bring to the army a
useful vocation which was followed
in civil life," says the war depart-
ment
-.Men found upon re-examination
to be qualified for full military
service will be inducted as. 1-A
registrants.
Among those now classified as
1-B who would be eligible under
the new ruling for limited service
status are men: whose weight and
chest circumference do not meet
1-A standards but do not fall in
class 4; who have minimum 20-40
sight in one oi both eyes if cor-
rectible with glasses to 20-40 in
either .eye; whose hearing in one
or both ears is not less than 5-20
-vith complete deafness in one ear
permitted if hearing in the other
is 10-20 or better; who have in-
sufficient teeth if the defect ls
correctible by dentures.


Dim-Out Rules

Must Be Complied

With, Says Army


Restrictions Must Be Followed
To the Letter or Other
Measures Will Be Taken

Because of certain terms used
by the army in their recent "Mem-
orandum No. 2" covering lighting
restrictions along our coast there
has been some' question as to
whether or not the restrictions
would apply to Port St. Joe and
other communities in Gulf county
which are on the Guir.
All doubt as -to the application
of the order has been eliminated
by the following letter received
Tuesday. by the county defense
council:
George L. Snowden
Gulf County? Defense Council
Port St. Joe, Florida
Dear Mr. Snowden-Port St. Joe
is considered to be on tne coast
line as designated in Memorandum
No. 2, Headquarters Fourth Corps
Area, and the provisions of that
memorandum must be fully com-
plied with. It is requested that
you report any further failures on
the part of any persons or cor-
porations in your county to render
such conipliance to this office. It
is the desire' of the state defense
council and of the army command
that 'these matters be handled co-
nperatively; -that-.where such co-
operation is hot forthcdiiipg, other
measures will be taken.'
Sincerely,
ADBERT H. BLANDING,
Co-ordinating Director
Action Divisions.
It is evident from General
Blanding's letter that the restric-
tions mentioned in Memorandum
No. 2 from .the Fourth Corps Area
headquarters in Atlanta will defi-
nitely apply to Port Sit. Joe, High-
land View, Beaco6 Hill, Kenney's
Mill, Oak Grove, Indian Pass and
any residence or building. along
our coast line. That the army in-
tends for the restrictions to be
followed to the letter is evidenced
by General Blanding's statement
that "other enforcement measures
will be taken."
Air raid wardens, local police
and auxiliary police, as well as
Sheriff B. E. Parker, are fully ac-
quainted with the restrictions laid'
down by the army, and anyone who
is still in doubt would be wise to

Our Country "-..;" Right or Wrong

WE CAN TURN THE TIDE OF WAR

The Americar..people can turn the tide of
war against the Axis within the next six
months--,perhaps the next 180 days-if they
will exert all their effort to do it.
To do this,: it will be necessary for every
American, whether he be in the city, on the
farm, in the assembly line or elsewhere, to
put..forth. absolutely all the effort of which
he is capable during this period.
SThe pace of production and war work,
which has increased steadily during the past
few months, must achieve the highest peak
of speed in the history of the nation between
now and fall. It CAN be done, it MUST be
done, and it WILL be done if everyone does
his part.
The Gulf county salvage committee is
now making plans for an extensive salvage
drive to collect scrap metal of all kinds, more
rubber, rags, and grease from our kitchens.
In addition, we should buy all the war savings
stamps and bonds we can and as often as we
can ir, thjsE fight: against the Axis powers.'
Metal is needed-enormous quantities of it
-and the quicker the scrap is collected and
turned in, the quicker it will be converted
into weapons to win this war. Glycerine for
munitions is vital, and this will come from
the grease we save in our kitchens. Money-
millions of dollars--i. needed to finance the
fight, and the more we lend our government
by buying stamps and bonds the more there
will be to keep production and all other ac-
tivity of war moving at a fast pace.
We all want to win this war, and win it
just as quickly as possible. It's up to all of
us, and the quicker we get to doing every-
thing that is humanly possible to win it, the
quicker we'll win it. So when the salvage
drive in Gulf county gets under way we all
want to pull together and get out and rake
up every scrap of metal that can be used to
whip the Japanazis.

'Teen-age officers of the U. S. army air
force take a lot of kidding from their older
comrades-in-arms, as evidenced by the follow-
ing notice appearing recently over the bar of
the officers' club of. the San Juan, Puerto
Rico post-: "Positively no alcoholic beverages
will be sold to air corps lieutenant-colonels
under twenty-one unless accompanied -y
their parents."

Today's the last day. If you've got any
outstanding bills left over from May you
-must pay them up if you want to remain on
the list of those who continue to receive
credit. Port St. Joe merchants probably would
be willing to continue carrying your open ac-
count, but Uncle Sam says "No, sir."

A lot of people are criticising the British,
and things do look black for them here and
there, but we all make mistakes and the Brit-
ish have never failed to 9vin that last battle
-and that's the one that really counts.


Keep smiling-and buy War Bonds!-


ANOTHER PAPER SUCCUMBS
Another established Southern newspaper
has succumbed to the vicissitudes of a war-
time economy. The only morning paper in
T'allahassee, The Florida State News, has
ceased publication. Publisher John Tapers ex-
pressed the hope it was only a "suspension
for the duration." He gave as cause the now
familiar trouble of "increasing costs and de-
creasing revenues."
All newspapers, even the most solidly foun-
dationed and expertly managed, are feeling
the attrition of those upper and nether mill-
stones. Especially severe has been the loss of
advertising revenue by the small-city dailies
and the country weeklies, a large percentage
of whose advertising income used to be de-
rived from the automotive industry and its
affiliates.
Our people cannot afford to let their coun-
try papers or small dailies suffer, and perhaps
die, from malnutrition. An honest and inde-
pendent press is the surest safeguard of their
'own rights and security.
If your home-town paper is suffering from
war's impact, rally to the support of the ed-
itor and publisher by promapt and cheerful
payments of the subscription rates. Assure
him of your loyal support; give him bounti-
fully of your sympathetic interest. There is
no such thing as a sound democracy without
a free and fearless press. Preserve it, from
self-interest if for no other reason.-Atlanta
Journal.

"GOING FISHING" IS OUT
The editor of The Star has received infor-
mation from the state rationing board that
motorists who burn up their tires and gaso-
line by ineligible use of their cars will soon
find themselves in difficulty with their county
rationing board.
The warning stated that inspectors will be
employed to check on excessive speeds, over-
loading and ineligible uses of motor vehicles.
This latter clause includes visits to distant
night spots and such recreation as "going
fishing."
We have no "distant night spots" around
Port St. Joe, but when they start checking
up on our fishing, that's something else again.
It's sure getting tough when "going fishing"
comes under the head of giving aid and com-
fort to the enemy, but if them's orders we
know the good people of Port St. Joe who
sneak off every now and then to snag a few
bream and shellcrackers, will give up their
piscatorial pleasure to save on tires. How-
ever, there's no restrictions against getting
out the pole and line and finding a fishing
hole within walking distance.
Yessir, this war is getting serious and
striking close to home when the lid is clamped
down on "going fishing."

LITTLE BY LITTLE
,The slow denuding of one-time essentials
from the automobile reminds us of the story
of the man who cut off the tail of his dog a
little at a time, on the theory tlfat it wouldn't
hurt so much.
In 1940 they did away with running boards.
In 1941 they dispensed with gear shifts. In
1942 the edict is "no tires" and "no headlights
for night driving."
But look at the extras we, get! Federal
automobile use stamps, and a gas ration card!
Subtraction and addition? Well, it's all a part
of the war. And we still have our cars-what's
left of them.-St. Augustine Record.
*s-,- ---_p

Some people are objecting strongly to the
gas rationing, but we fail to see where it
makes any difference, because the more gas
you burn the quicker your tires will wear out
and most people will have to learn to walk
anyway.-Highlands County News.

light shine. Philadelphia Enquirer. Looks
like he'll have to keep it hid under a bushel
basket for the duration.

VETERAN

of a hundred

campaigns


He's independent, friendly and proud of his work;
,he's tolerant and peace-loving, yet he has fought
all his life----and he's a veteran.
His hands are accustomed to the feel of rubber
gloves and copper line cutters, not guns; his mind
is trained to think in terms of kilowatts and
,power lines, and he has never been called upon
to solve a problem in military strategy.
'His campaigns have been in a no man's land high
atop a pole in a blinding, driving rain-restoring
service to hundreds of homes and factories. His
'battles are waged on the thousands of miles of
transmission and distribution lines, and his vic-
'tories helped to make the citizens of the United
'States the most fortunate people in the world.
'He's a soldier on the home front, and he mans
his battle station with serenity and confidence
because he's had the experience of a hundred
:campaigns behind him. He is sure of his own
abilities, certain of his country's future, and he
mvill be a contributing factor in the Victory parade.
This Company, as a part of a great industry
Fostered and built upon the stable essentials of
the free nation, is operated by experienced man-
njement pledged to defend the benefits the in-
Adustry helped to create.

made for the other side, but be-

Many residents- of Port St. Jo's
drove down to Cape San Bias
when news of the torpedoing
reached, here about 3 o'clock Mon-
-lay morning, and saw the flames
and smoke billowing up from the
vessel. After burning about' eight
hours it sunk.
The people ,of Apalachicola are
to be commended for the part they,
played during this emergency,
which indicated that their defense
organization is well-qualified for
whatever may come. Let-us hope
that the people of Port St. Joe
will do as well should a similar
emergency arise h:re.
