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 with then, as there are 28 shifts through the week yet to be (Continued ,on Page 4).. Rationing of Bicycles Started Yesterday Rationing of bicycles started yesterday, with the OPA announc- ing that 230,000 will be released between now and the end of Au- gust. 'The number to be released in Gulf county has not yet been ob- tained. Quota for the state of Florida for the period, has been set at 2,536. 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 contact his or her local air raid warden and to abide strictly by the support.

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.

Treasury Department The man wrapped up in himself is usually an April fool package. Our Job Is to Save Dollars Buy War Bonds S Every Pay Day 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.

We made for the other side, but be- fore we had crossed the deck an- other 'fish' clipped us."' 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. ATTENTION, OBSERVERS (Continued From Page 1) filled. George Snowden, chairman of the county defense council, has, become so entranced with tlf6 observation tower that he has" been begging to be allowed to serve a shitf, but his duties are too multitudinous to allow him to sign up, much as the chief observer would like to, at those who volunteer must be -on hand at the specified time. The ChaverseFlwhand Furni- ture company has donated a table and chairs for the tower, the St. Joe Paper company has furnished a heavy canvas floor covering and several cash dona- tions have Been received' this week.
