Our Country Right or Wrong BEER AND POP WON'T WIN THIS WAR A new ruling made recently by the Office of Price Administration regarding priorities on tires is highly commendable and, to us, it appears that someone in authority has finally realized that beer, colas and pop won't help win the war The new ruling, in effect, states that beer and soft drink trucks will no longer be al- lowed to secure tires, either new or recapped, after July 28. The ruling also applies to trucks carrying alcoholic beverages, candy, flowers, furs, musical instruments and other luxury items--unless the hauling of such items is only incidental to the main service performed by the truck. We recall how surprised we were to learn that a beer truck was given a higher priority rating for the purchase of tires than milk and bread trucks when rationing regulations were first.put into effect. This ruling was later modified to place bread and milk trucks on the 'amne basis as beer trucks, but we were never, able to understand why beer and solt drink trucks were allowed to purchase new or recapped tires in the first place. Whoever conceived the idea that the- dis- tribution and consumption of these commodi- ties were essential to the war effort certainly had a queer quirk in his reasoning. It was our understanding that tires were supposed to be rationed in order that the military serv- ices and essential civilian needs might be taken care of during the period when we were cut off from our normal sources of rub- ber supply. But we still say that we can't un- derstand how beer and pop can be classed as "essential" needs, either to the military serv-- ices or to civilians. The OPA is to be highly commended for making this ruling and might pave the way for the correction of other obnoxious rulings and practices in the war program.-Okaloosa News-Journal. If you think you're buying all the War "'Bonds you can possibly afford, just stop and consider that if we lose this war there'll be a matter of indemnities to pay that will make our present national debt lool' like small change. If we win, wlich we must, the money you sink in War Bonds now will come back to you increased 25 per cent. Why eliminate the cuffs on pants? Let s go the whole hog in the war effort and inake 'em into shorts. Of course, this might cause a bit of embarrassment to some men who have been hiding skinny and bow legs, but it sure would be cool during these hot days. If you find a mistake in The Star, sit down and figure out if you make mistakes. If you don't, bring in the paper and show the editor his mistake. Healthful exercise is what a man gets on a golf course that he can't possibly get from running the lawn mower, digging in the gar- den or beating a rug.-St. Augustine Record. SHARE YOUR CAR The "Share Your Car" movement is being inaugurated in Port St. Joe, but at present only a few of our citizens are considering it seriously. However, pretty soon they will participate in it whether they want to or not, for with the tire situation the way it is and this section on the vlrge of being included in the gasoline rationed area, if they don't join up they won't be able to get supplemental gasoline ration books, or in many cases tires. lBut it really shouldn't bother any of us here in Port St. Joe as far as getting to and from our places of work because our city is small and a brisk walk in the morning and evening probably would do us all a lot of good. Of course, it might irk us a bit the first week or so, what with getting those unused muscles back into shape that have practically atrophied through riding about in cars, but in the long run it would do us a world of good. .S----S-- IS YOUR BUCKET READY? Several coastal points in the United States have been'shelled by enemy warships. A ship has been sunk right in Port St. Joe's front yard. And it is completely possible that this section may be attacked from the skies by enemy planes based in South America. And if such an attack should come, fire bombs oi one kind or another will be one of the prin- cipal weapons used. Unless we are ready to deal with these fire bombs, disastrous dam- age to our homes and business establishments will be inevitable. When the Gulf County Defense Council was organized the volunteer auxiliary fire-fighting organization was formed with enthusiasm. Then that enthusiasm was slowly lost, and at the present time the effort has apparently bogged down. And that is precisely what our enemies want. They aren't going to tell us when they will attack, or where-it could be Port St. Joe as well as any place. They will depend upon surprise-and an ill-prepared city would be an easy victim. Every house in Port St. Joe should be a fire house. That simply means that all the people should be ready to combat fire when- ever and wherever it strikes. We must tie constantly alert and thoroughly prepared. Every day brings the time of possible attack closer. If yofi haven't got your'b-ucket of dry sand and square-end shovel get it today. WAR TALK Priceless are the laconic utterances of America's fighting men. After a bomb attack: "Sighted sub, sank same." After destroying an enemy carrier: "Scratch one flat-top." A Japanese warship, when last seen, was "burn- ing satisfactorily." Nailing Italian battleships from two miles up was "like shooting fish in a barrel." On sighting a Nipponese troop-. ship: "We decided to give the slant-eyes a bath." Assailed in midair by a swarm of Zeros: "The pilot poured on the coal and we went away." Then Admiral Fitch's quiet observation to Captain Sherman, with the Lexington afire in every hold and exploding beneath them: "Well, Fred, I guess it's time to get the men off." And the report of the officer who ex- amined the damage to the revered old "Lex" after several torpedoes had hit her starboard side: "I suggest, sir, that if you have to take any more torpedoes you take them on the port side." What chance has humorless tyranny against a spirit like that?-New York Tiimes. Automobile owners of Port St. Joe should begin to realize that we no longer have "pleasure cars," and that the family automo- bile today should be used only for essential driving.

Vic- tory will cost more lives and call for much greater sacrifices from the folks here at home. Every ibit of material we can spare must now make weapons for our troops, and we must see that trains, trucks, tires and buses are available to transport men and weapons and food. This means further reductions in civilian goods. So far the stores in Port St. Joe and elsewhere have been selling things made before the situation became critical. But insiders say shortages and substi- tutes will be apparent even in the smallest towns very soon now. Intensify Salvage Efforts The salvage drive has 'been in- tensified. Without scrap metal, our steel furnaces cannot operate be- cause its necessary to mix scrap and new pig iron together to get steel from iron. The WPB says our steel mills will have to close down during the winter unless we can store up extra heaps of scrap within the next 90 days. Watch for the first of a series of ads in Tlhe Star soon in an endeavor to geo in the scrap. Despite all the argument, those who know the true situation say the rubber shortage is desperate. Uncle Sam, still wants your rub- are War Production Boonms Production records are being shattered iby American industry. We can help keep it booming by moving scrap materials. WPB has asked state and local governments' to lend their trucks to salvage committees to get scrap to the railroads. 'Main trouble in Port St. Joe has been how' to g-t the scrap, taken away. We suggest that when the drive, under direction of Marc Fleishel, gets underway, that the A. N. railroad shunt an empty car onto the sidetrack fading on First street and that the junk be tossed into it- The 'Berlin radio recently told German subjects to move all their scrap iron and steel to Nazi mills or go to jail. 'That's one way of getting results-not the American way. Your government asks your co-operation. Chiselers OPA is going to take action against restaurants, taverns, ana roadside lunch establishments that are profiteering on beer and soft drinks-especially at places located near army camps.. Selling nickel cola drinks to soldiers for fifteen cents is called "a low form of chiseling." Folks on the home front can stop this profiteering them- selves by telling such places that it's against the law to sell any bottled drink for more .than the store charged for it in March. sight is always that way.

Attorney for Plaintiff. 7-10 31 * * WAR BONDS Tractors and motors will never wholly replace the Army Mule as a factor in the mobile units of our army. The Army Mule is a tradi- tion and the "mule skinner" is a breed unto himself. Army Mules are used by the Field Artillery and the Cavalry in areas where the terrain is rough and tractors c' -" operate. Pack trains in mountainous sec- tors are often necessary and here the mule, slow but sure-footed, plays an important role. Our Army buys thousands of mules paying from $175 to $190 for each. The mule eats less, carries more, and some de- clare is smarter than the horse. Your purchase of War Bonds and Stamps helps pay for these Army Mules. Invest at least ten percent of your income in War Bonds every pay day. U. S. Treasury Department Greater Use of Fuel Wood Will Help War Effort 'Gambling Lady' Plays Tomorrow At Port Theatre I's Dramatic Hit With a Splendid Cast; Second Feature Is 'Man From Cheyenne' Action, drama and romance are In store for Port theatre patrons tomorrow when they see the latest Warner Bros. screen offering. Its spell-binding story and excellent cast insures everyone of fine en- tertainmenrt. The film is "Gambl- ing Lady" and stars Barbara Stanwyck with Jo1l McCrea and Pat O'Brien in the supporting roles. Miss Stanwyck fhas the gay and sporting role of a square-shooting gamBler who plays the game of life with great courage; even to tossing away love to save her hus. band from a crime of which she knows he is innocent. The picture is set in the gay gambling halls where the people who are seeking something for nothing are taken over the jumps for their money by a syndicate of gamblers that holds the city in its grip. The story is climaxed by, a cold-blooded, murder carried out by the syndicate for which an in- nocent man is arrested. The second feature of Saturday's show is Roy Rogers in "Man from Cheycnne," and in addition the second installment of the serial, "Captain Midnight, will be seen. .Mr. and Mrs. W. O.

MILLIONS suffer less from Headache, Acid Indigestion, Distress of Colds "Morning After" and Muscular Fatigue because they have heard-and believed-Alka-Seltzer radio announcements. To these millions, the relief obtained by the use of Alka-Seltzer is worth far more than the genuine enjoyment they get from the broadcasts. The most important parts of our radio program, both to you and to us, are the commercial announcements. Once you have tried Alka-Seltzer we believe you will agree with us. But try Alka-Seltzer because it is an unusually effective medi- cine not because you enjoy the radio programs. WHY ALKA-SELTZER IS SO EFFECTIVE The pain-relieving analgesic in Alka-Seltzer is in complete solu- tion, ready to ease the distress as soon as you swallow it. The painrelieving action is made more effective by alkaline buffers. The alkalizing elements in Alka-Seltzer reduce excess stomach v ,acidity. Get Alka-Seltzer the next time you pass a drug store.

This is a beautiful as well as appropriate piece of writing, and its emotional appeal and rhythm make its truth also poetry. I wish that every American could read this editorial. Surely it cannot be read without a' renewal of resolve to put aside unifmport- ant things and get along with the business of doing something to speed the war effort. If this .stir- ring appeal can be read and the reader remain complacent, perhaps America is lost already. Sincerely yours, Ruth Allen Smith.
