Length of Service In Air Warning
Service To Be Factor In

SAnnouncement comes from the
Air Warning Service regional of-
fice that the long;awaited distribu-
tion of arm bands for observers Is
now under way and that ship-
-m:nts are being made daily to the
various posts.
'Says the announcement: "Head-
.quarters regrets that such a delay
in the distribution was necessary,
but it must be remembered that
these are days of stress and strain
and the arm bands had to wait
tueir turn in the production
schedule."
The gold wings, mounted .on a
white circle with a royal blue
arm band, make a fitting badge of
honor for observers, and had they
been available when the Port St.
Joe post was set up there would.
have been little trouble in signing
up observers.

Flag Raising

Ceremony Held

At A.W.S. Tower


Small Crowd Turns Out for Event
Postponed Week On Ac-
count of Rain

A very small crowd turned out
Sunday for the flag raising cere-
:iony held Sunday afternoon at
the Air Warning Service observa-
tion tower by the Port St. Joe
L[iwanis club. The event had been
postponed a week due to inclem-
ent weather, and it is believed
that had not this been the case a
large number of interested specta-
tors would have 'been on hand.
The program, which was in
charge of Dr. J. R. Norton, presi-
dent of thie Kiwanis club, was
opened by the assemblage singing
"America," followed with player
by Rev. 0. D. Langston.
George Snowden, district super-
visor for the A. W. S., gave a
'"rief talk on the A. 'W. S., stress-
ing the fact that the army calls
the service the first line of de-
fense in case of an enemy invasion
and that volunteer observers are
practically "in the army" and that
they are governed by army regu-
lations.
'M. P. Tomlinson spoke on "The
Origin of Our Flag As An Emblem
of Democracy," telling when and
how our flag was born and the
origin and reason for flags of any
type. He was followed, by Larry
Evans, Wh.6 gave 'a '"lni t'retirn
discourse on "The Origin o~ thie
Swastika," tracing it back to prim-
itive man.
The flag was then raised to the
staff atop the tower by members
of the American Legion post while
Billy Wallace played "To the
Colors." Rev. Langston then 'ex-
plained the courtesies due the flag,
those present sang "The Star
Spangled Banner" and the cere-
mony ended by Miss Marigenle
Smith singing. "God Bless Amer-
ica."

Draft Takes

Largest Quota

From County


Thirty Registrants Called to Duty;
1-B Registrants Are Up for
Reclassification

Gulf county .felt the full meaning
of the nation's call for .increas-
ingly larger numbers of men to
fill its Selective Service army last
Friday when 30 white registrants
-the largest quota yet assigned to
the county-left for Camp Bland-
ing for induction. The new quota
is in line with a general speedup
in Selective Service inductions
and is unofficially considered an
indication ,of the size of future
quotas.
Those .going to Blanding were
Noah D. Allen, Harold M. Arm-
strong, James R. Brann, Daniel I,
Creech, Charles F. Causey, Her-
bert Dykes, Nathan Dykes, Carl
Glass, Oscar W. Goodwin, Thos.
Hogan, Charles A. Herring,-James
L. King, Leo Kennedy, James W.
Morris, Walter D. Nelson, Robert
Nelson, J. F. Pitts, Francis Por-
ter, Thomas S. Prescott, Hines R.
Richards, Dewey H. Reeves, Henry
B. Raiford, Brinson W. Smith,
Charles W. -Snodgrass, Waymon'
A. Smith, Clarence J. Sewell, Jul-
ian .Shiver, Ernest H. Walker,
Lemmie L. Ward, R. Doyle Wil-
liams.
As the group of selectees pre-
pared to board; the bus -they were
presented ciia t igalets i.U oe '
in-: gumr b.yi a delegation from the'
Port St. Joe Kiwanis club.
As the, local -board neared the
end of its list of available 1-A
registrants, the Selective .Service
System last week ordered 1-B
men, those now deferred because
of minor physical ailments, re-
classified for service unless to-
tally unfit.
Under the new order, present
1-B men will be sent to local ex-
amining physicians and if found
fit for any form of military serv-
ice will be placed in 1-A and in-
ducted with regular quotas. Those
unfit for service will be placed in
4-F, permanently deferred because
of the. disability.
All indications point to the call-
ing of married men without chil-
dren shortly, and at the present
rate -married mien with children
probably will not be ordered for
induction for several months. The
first married men to be called for
service will be registrants who
married when their induction was
imminent-at a time when they
were tentatively classified as 1-A
or soon were to be ordered for
physical examinations.
Reclassification :of men now It
the 1-B group is scheduled to start
September 1 and end by Janiary
1, 1943.

AIR FORCE WILL USE
CCC CAMP NEAR WEWA

Word comes from Congressman
Lex Green that the war depart-
ment has informed him that the
CCC camp near Wewahitchka
would be taken over for use of
the Army Air Force.
Exact nature of the use to which
the camp was to 'be put was noo
mentioned.

tioned at Fort Ethan, Vermont,
has been promoted to private first
class.

Our Country Right or Wrong


ARE WE GOOD AMERICANS?.
With the "'They say-" rumors of a thou-
sand sorts being repeated over and over-
growing worse with every repetition (and
we heard a couple right here in Port St. Joe
this week), many otherwise good Americans
get the jitters and unwittingly become fifth
columnists. Loose talk of every sort, from
wild criticism of the president to bragging
where-your son is now stationed; or defeatist
criticism that the 24-hour-a-day Air Warn-
ing Service is a waste of time, reaches ears
you little dream of. One of Hitler's shrewdest
bits of propaganda is to encourage people In
all enemy countries to stand aside from all
war effort and criticise everything.
Do you who read this co operate whole-
heartedly in the local Civilian Defense pro-
gram?
Do you report promptly on the hour for
your watch in the observation tower?.
Have you volunteered as a truck or am-
bulance, river?
If you are a member of either the auxiliary
police or the fire fighting group, do you keep
brushed up on your duties?
Are you willing to get out with a pick or
shovel and work to repair bombed roads?
Any or all of these activities may be thrust
on us, as a community, at any moment. Have
we here in Port St. Joe and Gulf county got
what it takes? Or will we all hight-tail into
,some neighboring community and add to the
confusion and loss?
Let's step aside for a little while with our
self, and soberly and earnestly think on some
of those things. Then, whatever conclusion
we reach, have the manhood or the woman-
hood to "get into the collar" and pull the full
weight of the load we know we should.


PAINT BRUSH, HARD TO
REPLACE, SHOULD NOW
RECEIVE BEST OF CARE

If you plan to paint and, find
the old brush you put away in a
can of watr has dried out stiff
as a board-don't throw it away,
not unless the bristles are broken.
You might have difficulty these
days in .buying a new one.
The .brush may be reclaimed by
soaking it overnight in paint


WE SALUTE OUR SCHOOLS
And the Spirit of Their Teachers
With the immediate problems of war re-
quiring our every attention, we turn, more
than ever this year, to our schools for .help!
Theirs is the job of moulding America's fu-
ture theirs the training which must
maintain the peace to come.
In a few short days the young people of
Gulf county will return to their classrooms.
There they will learn that Justice is more
than an empty word that Truth
cannot be conquered that the Freedom
which their forefathers died to achieve Is
based upon ideals which must guide their
lives.
We salute the schools of Gulf county and
the spirit of their teachers! Under their
guidance, we place our children that
bur sons and daughters may develop the
character, strength and courage which will
make them the rightful heirs to a Heritage
of Freedom!


HAVE YOU GOT YOUR CAR 5TAMP?
There are probably quite a number of Gulf
county people who haven't yet secured their
"use" stamp for their cars, and if they
haven't, they'd better go to the postoffice
right now and plunk down $5, for the gov-
ernment seems to have decided that motor-
ists have had enough time to get their little
red stickers, and now a campaign is getting
under way to enforce the act. Already re-
ports of arrests are coming in, and that is
showing some results because stamp sales
are beginning to increase in cities where
they were lagging.
When the "stamp act" was passed, it was
predicted that it wouldn't be very popular
with already over-taxed vehicle owners, but
to congress it seemed a good way to raise
additional and badly needed revenue, and it
probably will be continued after the war is
over. Many vehicle owners complied with
the law by purchasing their stamps. Other
motorists simply ignored the law and did not
purchase stamps. During the period ending
June 30, no great effort was made to enforce
the act, but apparently from now on it's go-
ing to be a different story, and motorists
without stamps may find themselves facing
federal charges.


Whether a woman can. see a joke or not,
she often marries one.

"If life wasn't full of trials, where would
the lawyers be?

Keep smiling-and buy War Bonds!


moisture will make it lifeless.
When a brush is/ in use every
day, fill it with paint and wrap it
overnight in several thicknesses
of paper or suspend it in a can
of water. If used intermittently,
it may be suspended in raw lin-
seed oil or kerosene; if stored in
turpentine, the brush is likely to
become hard. Never let the brush
rest on the ends of the bristles
more than a few hours, or it. will
become warped and the flow of
paint will be uneven. Bore a hole


thinner, or if not too hard, in tur- near the end of the handle and
pentine or gasoline. After the old suspend the brush in the paint on


paint has -softened, scrape it off
with a putty knife or comb it out
with a steel comb or brush. Re-
peat th'e treatment if the first
soaking fails to remove all the
paint.
After cleaning out the worst of
the accumulation, wash the brush
in warm water with a mild laun-
dry soap-never with strong soap.
Thorough scrubbing is important.
Shake out excess water and let
brush diry in the air. Straighten
out the bristles with a scrub brush
or comb before drying is-com-
plete. Then wrap the brush--not
too tightly-in heavy paper to
keep the bristles straight. If the
brush is dipped in paint again be-
fore being fully dried, the trapped


a rod or wire resting across the
'op edgs of the can so the
bristles do not touch the bottom.
When through .painting, clean .the
brush, dryi thoroughly and, store
with bristles straight.

.,Dear Mr. Smith-Your unstinted
contributions to the United States

the people the urgent necessity
for "everybody saving at least 10

From time to time additional

we feel sure you will present them
to your advertisers as they are
