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.

of enforcing the "dim-out" regula-

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

A Young Lady Tells of Her First
Day In the. New Port St. Joe
Observation Tower


By MISS O. P.
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. P. (Ob-
servation Post to you initiates!)

,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.

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.
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.

.Sunday and Monday, Is Dedl-
mcated to 'Leathernecks'

The world's toughest fighting
imen are the United States Ma-
,rines. "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.

DRINK ORANGE JUICE
INSTEAD OF SODAPOP

With limitation being placed on
so.t drinks, the Florida citrus com-
mission sees an opportunity to
promote the sale of fruit drinks in'
their stead.
Many drink stands and fountains
throughout the state are unable to
secure a sufficient quantity of soft
drinks, and thj commission urges
that merchants invite their cus-
tomers to try a glass of delicious
,range or grapefruit juice instead.
.Most people will accept the sug-
gestion, particularly when it is
pointed out that such drinks not
only quench thirst but offer added
health value.

When 92-year-old Mrs. Sarah E.
Hamilton of Rockland, Me., died
she left 171 descendants, including
nine sons, two daughters.and 160
grandchildren,; great-grand'children
and great-great-grandchildren.
