Our Coun-try Right or Wrong QUOTA SYSTEM WORKS INJUSTICE As far as we can learn, the group of 1-A men in Gulf county has been exhausted. for some time, and in order to fill quotas assigned the local draft board is continually reclassify- ing the men registered to get sufficient to make up the necessary number. This causes confusion, uncertainty and worry to draftees and their families. It isn't the fault of the local board that they have to dig into the deferred lists, be- cause they have to fill the assigned quota, whether or no, and it proceeds to reclassify enough men to do so. As a result, men with a certain degree of dependency are being taken. And all the time other draft boards have more 1-A men than they need. They are young, single and without dependency proo- lems. Yet many of them may wait weeks or months before the quotas assigned to their particular boards cause them to be called. We believe this could be corrected by adopting a system 'of state quotas -.in,_lr .-.lhic all 1-A men would be called up. fr.,'..'ilra.t boar:di which had them before an.. Oth-er; \ouid. be 'diafted. Recent figures indicate ihat tlh. i.- are approximately 9,500,000 single men without dependents on the draft lists of the nation.,Every available man among them should be taken before any reclassification is considered. They expect it-why not call them? SOLVING THE RUBBER PROBLEM The greatest war shortage facing the United States is rubber, but now it begins to look as if something definite and construc- tive is about to be done It is stated that new and faster processes will produce, before the end of 1943, 34,000,- 000 more automobile tires than were ex- pected. Further, synthetic rubber will be bet- ter on the whole than natural rubber, and its cost will not be materially greater. This -doesn't mean that any motorist can afford to "burn up" his rubber on the theory that replacements will soon be available. Mil- itary needs'will absorb most, and perhaps all, the synthetic rubber produced for a long time to come. Rigid conservation of rubber, as a result, remains an absolute necessity, and motorists will do well to follow the order of State Director W. C. Sherman to hold driv- ing speeds down to 40 miles an hour or less. ----" ,- - A senate sub-committee is planning a trip to Alaska to look into onr. defenses there.

A PETITION TO THE CITY Gents and Kind Sirs: On Thursday of the present week, along in the shank of the eve- ring, your humble petitioner and his tom cat wvas setting out on the front steps not saying a word to. nobody, but waiting for a breeze to come along and fan their fevered brow.-, when a cat belonging to a neighbor came sashaying across to where we was at anc mnde sonic coarse remarks to our cat down in its throat, and our cat got up and frizzled up his fur and told the neighbor cat it was everything it called him and two more on top oi that. A\nd the neighbor cat kept on casting aspirin at our cat until our cat walked over and took a poke at the neighbor cat, clawing cun<-ulh fur off to mnike a small-sized pair- of kitten britches. And the neighbor cat seen he had reckoned without his host, as we editors say, and it lit a shuck and club up a tree in the yard. .\lout this time the party who owns the cat came out on her front porch and says did we run her cat un the tree. And we told her no ma'am we did not. And she says well, our c:it did, which was the same thing. And we told her our cat and us was in two different lines of business altogether, and neither had anything, whatever to do with what the other one done, but if she wanted us to we would sic our cat on her cat and make it jump out of the tree. And she said we'd better not if we know what was a-ood for us, and if we didn't climb up the tree and get her cat down she would have the law on us. And rather than have an argument, we clumb up the tree and said kitty, kitty, to the neighbor car, which acted like it didn't have no sense, but kept on getting farther away every time we clumb up any closer, and finally we got our on a little limb where we didn't have no no- tion. of going, and we told the lady who is proprietor of the cat that the only way we seen to do was to shake it off. And she said we'd better not if we knew what was good for .us. And we told.-her we couldn't spend the balance of our life setting astraddle of a rimb hollering kitty, kitty, kitty, to a pin- headed idjit that wouldn't pay uz no mind, as we was a -molder of public opinion and there .was a whole lot down at the office in an un- molded form that required our attention. And she said, sarcastic like, yes, that that's what she'd heard, and if we didn't get her cat down she would see if there wasn't some law in the land against a person running another person's property up a tree and leaving it there. - And when we seen we couldn't do nothing, we dumb down, and the cat is still uo there and hollers real mournful at night. And what your humble petitioner wants to know is, has the city got any such officer as a Official Cat Getter or something, and would it be asking too much to ask you to do something quick, as matters are rapidly approaching a crisis or a focus, or whatever you call it, and we have to walk two blocks out of the way to keep from being told about what's coming off if don't get that cat down.- Macon Telegraph. An ardent prohibitionist in Tennessee is urging "drys" not to ride on synthetic rubber tires made from grain alcohol, saying: "Fel- low prohibitionists, let us refuse to use this product of an evil industry in any way, shape or form as we have in the past. We had rather walk than ride on tires made of alcohol."' In our opinion he should be whooping it up for more tires made from alcohol, as the more alcohol used for this purpose, the less there will be for making liquors. England has had forced savings for over a year. Canada has just recently put it in the budget. We wouldn't be at all surprised if we didn't have it here soon. ..- People who long for the good old days would hate to read this stuff by a candle.- Bradenton Herald. -W -w 0* C, 3q 0 0 CD 0 CD CD U) Z: 0 )o rmP CD CL CD I tA I ~i.'l klll ' F 'T r-4~., 4 i- m Folks' who believe our dictator ing costs, and OPA has dena- enemies operate with smooth ef- ficiency don't know that the Nazis are. now afraid of a food shortage on the-ir home front.

SProduction Goes Ahead Reports for the first half of 1942 show that we have .doubled and tripled our output of planes and anti-aircraft guns and ships. In view of our losses in the Battle of the Atlantic, the report on in- creas'ed ship production equals news of winning a battle.

This information should be sent by the soldier to his fam- ily and friends so that their mail will reach him with the least pos- sible delay. If the APO number does not ap- pear on a letter, it is necessary to check the number and organi- zation, causing considerable delay. Mail addressed to army person- nel at posits, camps or stations within the continental limits of the United States should show the same 'information as prescribed for units outside the continental U. S. except that postoffice address of the post camp or station should be use d, preceded in appropriate cases by the APO number if ap- plicable.

PAGE FIVE FRIDAY AUGUST 7 1942 i I : It' 2 I H S R Great Danger of Forest Fires In Case of Air Raid State Forester Asks Landowners To Take Good Care of Fire Fighting Equipment Iere in Gulf county, in case of an air raid, one of the big dangers .would be from forest and grass fires, and in this connection an appeal for the care and mainten- ance of forest fire equipment is voiced by H. J. Malsberger, state forester, which he directs to land- owners of this section whose for- est acreages are under fire pro- tection. "The growing difficulty in se- curing fire-fighting tools and their i::creasing importance in the state de''ense program makes the situa- tion doubly acute." Malsbcrger states. He points out that forest fires may be used by fifth column- ists to guide aerial attackers to *strategic points, while the smoke from the same fires interferes with th:: movements of defense forces and hampers the accuracy of anti- aircraft batteries. Saboteurs may also employ, forest fires both in their activities and to cover up i.ier operations. 'n the event of aerial attacks on smaller communities, or the rural sections, much of the damage that might occur would begin in the t-orm of woods and field fires ig- nited by falling bombs. Organized crews to fight such fires should be a part of every local defense plan and forest fire tools should be their weapons. "In view of the part that woofs fir.s can play in national defense, it is more than ever important that c:-':-thing possible be done -o p..-vent and promptly control fires," states Malsberger. "Some states have already passed laws making the setting of a woods lire an act of sabotage." He urges that those who have fire tools keep them in the best possible repair and, if the tools are beyond use, salvage all parts that can be used for repair and replacement pur- poses. ------<--- Appointed As Aviation Cadet Sergeant Willis V.
