Mize Scrap Drive Here Will Extend Thru Saturday Evening Everyone Urged To Join In Drive To Get In the Scrap By Bringing Out Scrap Final plans have been made for the Gulf County Scrap Rally in Port St. Joe and Wewahitchka, when everyone will be called on t.) bring out the scrap in an ef- foi r to fill an existing shortage in the nation's supply of vital ma- terials. Housewives, business men, farmers and all alike will be ex- pocted to join in the rally next Saturday to get out the, scrap- any item of value to the govern- mI'nt but of no further use to the individual-and help to swell the local contribution. In Port St. Joe all scarp is to be taken to the St. Joe Motor company. It is understood. that the stan- dard state-wide rate of 25 cents per 100 pounds will be paid for scrap metal, and one-half cent per pound for rubber, however, most local people seem to agree that the junk be contributed to the lo- cal defense council for disposal, the proceeds to be used for secur- ing necessary ,material and equip- ment. But regardless of whether the .gIpd' s-rionated to the coun- ..cil or,,., e:, money collected by theL individual, the main idea is to get out the junk-ALL the junk? 1 little scrap thus far hs. been brought in from the drive, al- though much of-fhis class of valu- able scrap material has been col- lected locally prior to the present drive. An additional hunt around the yard of your home, the gar- age, the barn and barnyard, tool shed, and in fact every nook and corner about thle place, will pro- duce much scrap material that is of no value except as junk. This class of material, although of no value to the individual, is worth much to the government in the present war production program, when a critical shortage of ma. trials actually exists. If you live in the rural sections around Port St. Joe or Wewa- hitchka, and have a collection of scrap to add to the total to be gathered in Gulf county by. tomor- row, bring it to town tod-ay or to- morrow dnd either sell or donate it to the cause. It will ba grate- fully accepted up until at least 10 o'clock tomorrow evening. At any rate, whether you give or sell your contribution every- one should join in the drive and get in the scrap by bringing out the scrap! NAVY RECRUITING OFFICER TO BE HERE NEXT MONTH The Star has been informed that a navy recruiting officer rom Marianna will be in Port St. foe on September 8 and 22 for the purpose of accepting applica- ions for enlistment in the United States Navy and Naval Reserve. On both these visits all persons interested are to call at the post- fefice on the days mentioend. ----- Captain Dickens Is Visitor Captain Gaston L.

Our Country Right or Wrong TO WOULD-BE DRAFT DODGERS The Gulf county selective service board last week released a list of names of men who have failed to report to the board after receiving their questionnaires, stating that unless the men reported immediately their names would be turned over to the district attorney for prosecution. It is probable that some of these men are deliberately trying to evade the draft, others may have enlisted in some branch of the service without notifying the board, while others have merely got a mistaken impres- sion of what they are supposed to do. But regardless of the reason (unless these men have enlisted) they have placed them- selves in a rather precarious position that might lead to embarrassment or disgrace, for Uncle Sam deals rather harshly with so- called draft dodgers. It is our advice to these men to report im- mediately to.their draft board or be prepared to suffer the consequences-and the const- quences won't be easy. And while we're passing out advice, it might be well to remind selectees that they carry with them at all times their registra- tion cards; keep the draft board informed of your address; notify the board of any change in status that might affect classification, and above all to be honest with the board if you have made a mistake in judgment, for Uncle Sam doesn't want men in jail-he wants them in the army. OPPOSITION TO NEW SENATORS Opposition to the amendment to be voted on next November providing for two new state senators in the legislature, one from Gulf and .Calhoun counties and one from Broward county, is already cropping up, par- ticularly in South Florida, which for years has been claiming "unfair" representation. One South Florida paper coming to our desk says: "The idea is to give West Flor- ida a senator all for themselves, and to be- stow the same charity on Broward county on the lower east coast. Obviously, this kind of shenanigan, if the people let it get ratified, won't give South Florida any break in legis- lative matters." We'd be willing to bet that if one of these extra senators were to be elected from the district in which this particular paper is pub- lished that the editor would find nothing but praise for the amendment. So, as Gulf county will benefit from this amendment, we would like to point out that this section has increased in population by leaps and bounds during the past four years and that it is our right to have more adequate representation in the senate instead of shar- ing a senator with four other counties. It would be sumpin' if the government al- lowed beer trucks to be equipped with these new tires made from alcohol.-Miami Post. Be sure the information you.get is not mis- information.-Bunnell Tribune. WRITE ONLY CHEERFUL LETTERS The women of the United States, wives, mothers, sisters and sweethearts, can make or break the morale of any army, and our present army is no exception. This fact is being brought out by information that comes to the officers. We would like to point out to the women of Port St. Joe that news of the baby having a toothache, or the wife or girl friend in- discreetly going to the show or a dance with a male companion, that home finances are in a tangle or any other such information add up to making the soldiers feel blue, that they should be at home where they are needed rather than in the army or navy where they are not needed, and so on. This is a condition which our women can, Sand must correct. Not all women write ae- pressing letters to their men folk. Most ot our women, no matter what hardships they face at home, are filled with patriotism and the type of letter their men folk receive is one calculated to make them fight, proud that they have that kind of wife, sister or sweetheart to fight for. They are made to feel that the country needs them and that the wife wishes she, too, might be in there fighting; that if this war is lost, their home will be gone, and that this is no time to be complaining about their personal woes., When a man receives that kind of a let- ter, he feels as though he could take on the whole German army with one hand anc beat the living daylights out of the Japs with the other. No doubt the disheartening sort of letter is due to thoughtlessness on the part of the woman writing it, so we would like to point out to the women of Port St. Joe and Gult county the importance of writing letters that are full of cheer and hope. Depressing let- ters are worse than no letters at all. No odubt it is hard to be cheerful when every- .thing seems to be going wrong, but we are sure that the women of this section, now that their attention is called to it, will respond to the appeal to buoy their men folk with hope and fighting spirit. The women have as much to gain in winning this war as have their men. ALONG FLORIDA'S COASTLINE Along all of Florida's shoreline, sentinels are watching day and night to make sure that no more German agents land, the United States government has announced. In order to make the measure as effective as possible, the government has issued an or- der forbidding bathers or other persons to appear on the beaches after dark. So, who- ever is seen on a Florida beach after dark now besides members of the patrol has no business being there and is going to be checked up on pretty thoroughly. It is unfortunate that the drastic measure was not put into effect much earlier, for there can scarcely be any doubt that a large number of enemy agents have made their way into the United States by way of Florida. This peninsula sticks' out into southern waters as an inviting landing place. There are hundreds of screened coves that offei' good hiding places for Axis agents who would slip in at night and make their way into the interior of the state and finally to other states. Despite the fact that such a situation seems fantastic, it is very real, and Floridians have got to be realistic in helping the fed- eral government to meet the emergency.- Lakeland Ledger. If you haven't yet secured your $5 "use- stamp for your car, better get it today, for the internal revenue bureau is checking up in this section and if they catch you without i stamp it will cost you a lot more than $5. There is an I in faith, but what is more important is faith in I.---Palmetto News... m a m m HOME FRONT Remember Walt Disney's wood- land deer in "Snow White"? An iron pair of those deer graced his front lawn until last week, when he shooed them off to war. They'll make one field artillery gun. Not so patriotic were two auto graveyard operators in Georgia, Tons of metal were rusting away in their roadside junk yards, with enough steel in the wrecked cars to make 460,000 hand grenades for our soldiers to toss at Japs in the Pacific. WPB stepped in with U. S. marshals and took the urgently- needed metal--steel mills are al- most out of scrap today. Notice the next auto junkyard you pass. If the wrecked cars have been cleaned out, the owners co- operating; but if his old jaloppies lie idle and overgrown with weeds stop and ask him if he's heard of Pearl Harbor. (This doesn't apply to Otto Anderson, who's been try- ing for months to get a junk dealer to take his wrecks off his hands.) No New Rationing There have been rumors going around in Port St. Joe that there would soon be a universall ra- tioning book" which "could be used for rationing any article in which a shortage occurred." But OPA denies it is planning to add new items to the list of rationed commodities. Home Canning Increases Southern housewives, farm wo- men and 4-H club girls are "doing The Low Down S from Willis Swamp Editor Th2 Star: Everything's a contest. To git any place it has to be via a con- test, but subjects is getting' scarce. I was talking' to Henry about it. He says I ain't yet seen or heard of a Sad Sight Contest. Stir one up, says he. Okay, says I. To begin with I'll give you a few samples of Sad .Sights-kinda to git the ball rollin'. Everybody havin' samipes will send 'em to Editor Eill of The Star. My first Sad Sight sample is a nice -oung lool:;n', but sweetie in a swell job in canning foods," says WPB. Despite sugar ration- ing, more than twice as much will be put up this year as in 1941. Ye Ed looks with pride on the jars of canned foods his wife has put up in the last few months. Every, quart canned and every pound of food preserved by dry- ing frees commercially canned supplies to feed our fighting men. Last year southeastern women canned 1612,000,000 quarts. dehy- drated'27,000,000 pounds of fruits, vegetables and other food. Doubl- ing that will feed lots of hungry soldiers. This And That You can't buy railroad watches any more unless you're in the army or work .for a railroad. We don't care here in Port St. Joe, as the fire siren sounds at noon, rail- road time, every day. Shirts made in pull-over style from bar- ber shop clippings are being worn in France, according to short wave from Vichy. Sounds like the hair shirts the monks used to wear while doing penance. The broad- cast admits they scratch tender French skins. More shoe leather has been made available for civilians in this country. Per- haps we won't come to wearing Dutch wooden shoes. OPA has reduced the list of persons eligible to buy new adult bicycles to those "engaged in essential oc- cupations." laced up the back.

You're stickin' your neck out, says Henry as he leaned over my shoulder while I writ this the beauty shoppys will picket you.

I FRIDAY, AUGUST 21, 19429: THE STAR, PORT ST. JOE, GULF COUNTY, FLORIDA" PAGE TWO F- THE STAR, PORT ST. JOE,- GULF COUNTY, FLdRIDA A Call For Enlistment Every Man Deferred In the Draft Should Insist Upon Waiv- S ing His Deferment By DR. JOHN H. SHERMAN. General 'Somervell said it well on July Fourth: "We are being soundly beaten. Thus far we have lost everything ibut our smug- ness." The same people who blocked our every effort to prepare early or to help our friends before they became exhausted are now stall- ing, criticizing the methods of our commander-in-chief, and complain- ing of our allies. They seem still to think that our simple entry into war makes victory certain, and that they are safe to go on fight- ing against, Roosevelt first and the Axis second. Meantime the men of good, heart, in their longing for national pride and self-respect, seem instinctively to overvalue our few slight suc- cesses in this war thus far, and to belittle ,the ,plain fact that we are still a long way from strength equal to even the weakest of our enemies It is time for every man with army experience to push in and help in the conditioning of the green troops. Time for every man deferred in the draft to insist upon waiving the deferment. As men hang back, to go only when called, they compel a slower rate of growth in our army. It is an old truth that a man does not know 'how to live until he knows when he should prefer to die. It is time for us as free men to show 'that we would prefer to die rather than wait indifferently to see whether a lottery will call us to defend the Christian mode of life. SIn 1898.it was :adventure; 1917 Was a call to duty; 1942 is an in- . itation to high privilege. All that God, and Christian man have held dear is in danger now, and every Christian needs'now to show that he knows how to live. Hate is the seed of decay, and its fruit is called ruin.
