I 1 e My First Day As Gulf county has been included in a "buffer zone" ot 162 counties lying west of thj eis'~ern seaboard rationing area, created Monday by the War Productioh Board, and gasoline deliveries iere have been cut; 25 per cent starting lWednes- day. Also Included in the "zone" are Bay, Holmes, Jackson, Wash- ington and Calhoun counties. The cut in supply is designed, to prevent ratione-d motorists from crossing the boundary line to get a unlimited motor fuel 'The service station "curfew"- which forbids stations from re- maining open more than 12 hours a day and 72 hours a week-has also been extended to the buffer zone. Under the curfew regulation, now effective in Port St. Joe, mo- tor fuel may not be delivered to vehicles outside tde prescribed hours, even for "preferential us- ers" as defined by the ration or- der, but may, be made after hours for military use or lor emergency use affecting life,._ealth or prop- '.rty. Each filling station may de- termine its own operating hours, which may include nights and Sunday so long a as: the' 72-bour weekly restriction is observed.. The new plan puts the burden of controlling sales just outside the ration zone on the shoulders of dealers, and few motorists in the rationed zone are going to get gas- oline in the buffer zone, as the dealers will have enough gasoline to meet most of the needs of their own customers, but"not enough to Iuipply border "tourists." The 25 per cent cut will not af- feet motorists much in Port St. Joe, since dealers here say that approximately a 25 per cent re- duction has already been erected through voluntary reductions in driving and through the tire and ,'ew-car rationing. -*- INSPECTOR DISPLEASED WITH CITY'S 'DIM-OUT' A .representative of General Blanding, co-ordinating director of 'actions division, who is in charge of enforcing the "dim-out" regula- tions in this area, was in Port St. Joe Wednesday night and after -a tour of the city expressed grave concern over the lack of conform- ance to the dim-out orders in many instances. During the past week officials from Tyndall Field have been checking here, andi in a number of instances have issued warnings to those having lights that are visible from the bay.

It was one of those sweltering days we've been having recently. Fortified with a new magazine and a recently consumed "coke," I climbed up (and I DO mean climbed, up!) to the observation post for my first shift as a plahe spotter. My predecessor .on the tower, having given me godd, concise in- structions on the procedure of re- porting planes, left. Considering the situation well in hand, I set about the business of settling down for my two-hour stretch. This was never accomplished The sound of a plane motor reached my ears, and there, all unbidden, was that "uncertain feeling" of butterflies in the tummy that comes before that final trek down the aisle to the tune of the wedding march or that first day on the new job. "Where is that plane?" South, east, north-yes, there it is ou the north window-one plane, fly- ing south, 'way up. Now to report. The words "Army Flash" into the phone clears the" lines olany interfering calls. And then th ere th _rqatter;of-fact vice saying' "rm- go ahead. please"; and mine forcedly mat- ter-of-fact giving the desired in formation! With quite a sense of satisfac- tion for a job well done, I have time to realize how delightfully cool my post is, what a wonderful view there is of the water, and how beautiful the fluffy white clouds are in the blue sky. Then there is another plane, this time in the west; and before I g&t the call through, another ap- pears in the east, and I have two planes to report at once. After this, I discover the bulle- tin board. There is complete in- structions on how to report any combination of planes possible, in- formation as to the purpose of the observation posts and the import- ance of the observer's work being done right. 'There were more planes to re- port. There was the confusion of the noise from trucks on the street and the roar of the boilers at the paper mill-which to my untrained ear were a good imitation of the sound of a plane motor. Then it was time for my suc- cessor on the post. He was also up for the first time. I relayed my instruction and from my store of new experience, passed on any in- formation I thought might be help- ful. .-. .And encumbered with my still unread; magazine, I climbed down from the. 0.

OIL WELL WILL BE SUNK NEAR BRONSON I A Plane Spotter Recommended 9 gnI VL or oU.V MkY/4 I - By Roosevelt ,Declared Barge Cana- Good After- War Project; One Pipeline to Have Terminal At St. Joe 'President Roosevelt urged con- gressional approval of a $93,000,000 authorization bill for the construc- tion of a barge canal across Flor- ida, the, building of a pipeline from Port St. Joe to Jacksonville and a second pipeline from any termi- nal point on the Gulf coast (prob- ably Carrabelle) to the St. John's river, near Jacksonville. And late last Friday the senate authorized construction of the barge canal, two or more oil pipelines and the deepening of the intracoastal wa- terway. President Roosevelt said he fa- vored passage of the measure be- cause he believed that even if the barge canal was not completed be- fore the end of the war, it would form a part of a reservoir of neQded public works after hostili- ties ended. 'Senator Claude Pepper told the senate. Friday that failure to build a sea-level ship canal across Flor- ida had cost the United States "'hundreds of millions of dollars" +n ship losses and "hundreds of human lives." Ittis expected, the St. Joe-Jack- sonville ptelln'will bea an .eight- inch line' tor: carry .gasoline and light oil, and will have a capacity of 3:5,000 barrels a day., REPRESENTATIVE OF AIR WARNING SERVICE WILL BE HERE TODAY Sergeant T. Hastings from the Jacksonville office of the Aircraft Warning Service will be in Port St. Joe today to check on the ob- servation post here and to offer instruction and assistance to any observers. Sergeant Hastings will be at the observation tower or The Star of- fice and those now serving as ob- servers, or any other interested citizens, are invited to meet with him in order that they might be- come informed as to the import- ance of the local aircraft warning post, which is a part of the na- tionwide chain. ------*c---- TWENTY MEN SENT TO CAMP BLENDING Four white men, Silas H.

Our Country Right or Wrong YOU ARE THE GOVERNMENT With taxes a tremendously growing bur- den on every citizen in Gulf county, we all must take an increasing interest in all affairs of government, from the smallest school dis- trict in Gulf county to congress itself. Taking an interest in the affairs of gov- ernment doesn't mean to merely sit back and kick after assessments have been levied. Our county commissioners and the city commis- sioners of Port St. Joe are doing their best to trim expenses, but there are probably a number of small items that have crept into their budgets which they have overlooked and which might be eliminated if called to their attention by us taxpayers. In order to keep city, county, state and na- tional taxes at a minimum the people must begin talking or writing to their city coun- cil, their school boards, their state legislators and last, but not least, Senators Pepper and Andrews and Congressman Bob Sikes, who are aiding in levying taxes which hit every individual, eery business and every industry. Y.:Iur ct-y dr-is, your -school-board mer-. bers, y''ur .county commissioners, your state legislators and your congressmen are anxious to know .'lhat you think about various meas- ures proposed which deflate your pocketbook. They can't know if you never express an opinion. A postcard message from a man of the soil, a workman at the paper mill, or a small businessman struggling to meet the tax problem, is the best index of public thinking. There should be sacrifice and economy in our city, county, state and national governments, just as 'there is sacrifice and economy and scrimping in every home in the land. Let your public officials know how you feel on legislative and taxation policies that affect every job, every industry and every dime of savings. Take your pen in hand and write to Mayor Sharit, Representative Clay Lewis, Commissioner Harry Saunders; Con- gressman Sikes and Senator Pepper even write to President Roosevelt if you think it will do any good. The future of representa- -tive government is in the hands of the peo- ple in more ways than one. Remember, YOU are the government. Don't expect it to be any better than the thought you contribute to it. INFLATION (In One-Cylinder Words) Inflation, as described in the dictionary, is a disproportionate and relatively sharp and sudden increase in the quantity of money or credit- or both, relative to the amount of ex- change business. In accordance with the law of quantity theory of money, inflation always produces a rise in the price level. In simpler language, and applied to the present situation, inflation is caused by a shortage of consumer goods and a tremendous increase in 'the amount of money paid out in wages. For the time being, we have stopped mak- ing automobiles, refrigerators, bicycles and other useful, peacetime products that we could buy and use. any. time, and have con- -sentrated on the production of warplanes, tanks, guns, bombs and other things that are useful only in war time. We have stopped making the things we want and are making the things we must have to win the war. SThousands of formerly unemployed now have jobs. Added thousands are making more money than they ever made before. So, with more money in our pockets to spend, and less to spend it on, either the value of money is reduced or the value of the goods has in- creased-figure it either way-the result ts the same. They both mean inflation to the man in the street. The danger in inflation lies in the fact that when it is in operation, all the money we earn and all the money we have saved Is worth less to us and to everyone else. Infla- tion is just as simple as that, and just as dangerous. That is why everybody should do their utmost to combat it. ____ LISTEN, AMERICANS! Listen, you baseball players. Listen, you dancers and drunkards. Listen, you comic- strip readers. Listen, you vacationers, you sport fishermen, you joy-riders, you poli- ticians. Listen. The Japanese flag is flying over American soil in the Aleutian Islands! Listen, you men in stores. Listen, you wo- men playing bridge. Listen, you poker players. Listen, you with your gay party at the night club. Listen. The Japanese flag is flying over Guam and Wake Islands, haughty above the graves of Americans! Listen, you sitting drinking beer. Listen, you looking at the moving pictures. Listen, you horse race players. Listen, you soldiers on a drunk. Listen, you officer with your scotch and soda. Listen, you bureaucrat. Lis- ten, you gas-waster. Listen, you time-piddler. Listen. The Japanese flag is flying over Manila, Bataan and Corregidor, over the corpses of Americans who fought for you, over prisons where thousands of American men and hun- dreds of American women are in the hands of the slant-eyed foes of freedom. Listen, you who have bought a few bonds and think you have done your part. Listen, you who think that the products of out fac- tories will win the war. Listen, you who think that America's wealth will win the war. When every man, woman and child in America rises in wrath, when the force of 130,000,000 hands and hearts is devoted to just one cause-the destruction of our ene- mies-then America will win this war! Listen, men of America. Rise in anger, In a mighty wave of anger and revenge. Turn the plows over to your fathers. Women of America, rise in righteous wrath. Step into the shoes of your men. You who think worab win wars, be silent; let your guns speak for you. You who are bored with the war, be ashamed; put yourself where you can bore our enemies with bullets. Dedicate yourself to the task of hauling down the flag of Japan, wherever it flies- over the Aleutians, Wake and Guam, Cor- regidor and Manila. Let ours be the supreme glory of our time-the rising of Old Glory over our own soil again, and the revenge of hoisting the Stars and Stripes over the im- perial palace in Tokyo. Let nothing stop us till we do. Let nothing matter till our hearts and our hands, our flesh and our blood have hauled down the flag of Japan, and raised the banner of freedom in its place.-Stuart News.

"From the Hanls of Monte- -zuma to the Shores of Trinoli' their-praises ring, and already they have notched still another place in history with their tenacious fight- Ing in the far corners of the world as the vanguard of American Ex- peditionary Forces in World War II. Always true to their motto, 'Semper Fidelis," the marines have never retreated- preferring anni- hilation to giving ground. The 'cream of the crop, they have added 'to the glory of their country in -every war we have fought, and in between have organized "private wars" just to keep in shape. Sensing the interest in the ma- rines and their background in the -minds of all America, 20th Oentury- 'Fox conceived a story which would -not only utilize all the thrills, color .and excitement inherent in the corps, but would show much of the trainingg they receive. This they ,contrived to do in entertaining and dramatic fashion in the new Tech- nicolor hit, "To the Shores of Tripoli," playing Sunday andi Mon- day at the Port theatre, one of the year's most outstanding action films inspired by the gallant stand of those now legendary defenders of Wake Island, to whom the film is dedicated.. .Stars in the picture are John Payne, Maureen O'Hara and, Ran- dolph Scott. A hand-picked cast of featured players includes Nancy Kelly, William Tracy, Henry Mor- gan, Maxie Rosenbloom, Edmund McDonald and, Russell Hicks. -__---- K Miss Myrtice Coody has as her house guests this week Miss Mag- dalene Davis and Mrs. Laura Mar- tin of Sopchlopoov 4-K Mrs. R, W.
