This bill-it is called the Ellender-Patman 'ire Con- servation Bill-offers definite, sensible solution to the problem' of how to keen the nation's vital motor transport moving in the face of a rubber shortage. This tivould be accomplished by retreading 30,000.000 tires every jear with all-reclaim-rubber capping stock; and to those who point o the shortage of rubber and.say it cannot be done, the Rubber Manufacturers' association has said that it CAN be done. The bill would stabilize tire prices and release for immediate sale those odd-sized and lower-level tires which are obviously of no value to the war effort. There is a further provision in this bill which, it seems o us, is even more important thah its other sections, from he standpoint of "winning.the peace" which must follow he winning of the wa". Designed to contribute to the maintenance of free enterprise, this measure provides that, or the duration of the war, all tire sales and service be urned over to independent tire and gasoline dealers, so hat these "little businesses." by getting all the business hat is left, may be sustained until Victory brings a lifting Df tire sale restrictions. This would mean that the rubber company-owned fac- ory outlets and the big oil comnanv-owMed super-service stations would turn retail tire bus;npss o-er tr these "little allows" during the war, retaining for themselves only the wholesaling function. We have no suner-service stations in 'ort St. Joe, but this ndrldd business would aid greatly a (Continued on Page 5) -^4OOO*a ea oa iasemeea ar raa a aa t er ssary Men to Get Jobs People of This Area Should Observe Restrictions That Back After War Others May Live If Old Jobs Not Available, Gov- The dimout along the shores of ernment Will Assist In Gulf county is not what it should Finding 6!ew Ones be, according to army officials, and Sheriff B.

Stop Work On Hospital Work on the, Pont St. Joe hos- pital has been halted by WPA Dis- trict Supervisor Miles Anderson of Marianna due to the scarcity of skilled- labor needed to put the finishing touches on the building. A Repir. to the People 4 *, 4 This company has gone all- out in Uncle Sam's war effort S supplying vital power to war industries and, military estab- lishments over the entire state. Just a few weeks ago work was begun on another 66,000 volt transmission line to serve over lBmen at the new base. Over 99% of all of our construction work is being done to serve the war effort. At the present time electric power is being served to over B Airports and Training Fields- as well as numerous camps and other military es- tablishments. All requests for power to serve in the war effort have been met ahead of schedule with no interruption to domestic needs. When the war is won, and victory is ours and we return to civilian life-we'll have a story to tell- a story far surpassing any present dreams. But until then we'll just go on serving and working toward a speedy victory. FLORIDA POWER CORPORATION X -4 4 X UNITED STATES- SUGAR CORPORA- TION renders a live fold service. It pays substantial taxes, gives em- ployment to thousands of people, helps support the railroads and other business of the State of Florida, supplies a basic necessity of life and furnishes an' outlet for productive investment of the savings of the thrifty. The value and extent of such services can be appreciated only when the volume is known. Below is shown the extent of our contribution during the year ended June 30, 1942 to the people, the State and the Nation. United States Sugar-Corporation, in addition to making available to our fellow Americans 86,743 tons of sugar, a woefully short national commodity, provided 4,731,878 gallons of molasses, national shortages of which necessitated the institution of priorities and restrictions. We also made available the only supply source for the essential oil of lemon grass and provided feed for live stock, which provision relieved to some extent the heavily burdened transportation facilities of the Nation. In doing these things, m addition to providing extensive facilities, it was necessary to incur heavy obligations, which are summarized as follows: Excise taxes, deducted in settlements for sugar and paid directly to the National Treasury Sin the sum of $ 870,484 SProvision for income and excess profits taxes on the year's business amounted to 900,000 ;Other taxes paid to Federal, State, County and locall governments aggregated 528,057 So that our total tax bill was $2,298,541 Wages and salaries paid, aggregated 2,835,616 Freight created for the railroads, and in turn expended by them for taxes, wages and materials amounted to 1,030,295 rExpenditures for merchandise, materials, supplies, etc., [most of which were purchased within the State], including substantial amounts paid to neighboring farmers, aggregated 2,570.553 The sum of the foregoing is $8,735,005 To provide the foregoing benefits to the people, the State and'the Nation, it was necessary to provide suitable facilities which required 'substantial investments in the Everglades on the part of our stock- holders, many of whom are also employees, and as compensation for 'the risk involved in making available the assets, facilities and credit Sto provide such benefits to the people, the State and the Nation and for return on their investment, the stockholders were paid $629,850. v'R UNITED STATES SUGAR BU Y CORPORATION ONS CLEWIS T O N, FLORID D A AND STAMMS ,, - 4- 4 ---- : a, ----N- ~--- -- ----a I Ir FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, ~194k' THE STAR, PORT S1.

Our Country - Right or Wrong WHILE OUR HOMES STILL STAND War with all its horrors, its ever-increas- .ing demand for personal sacrifice, its restric- tion of individual rights. has cast a shadow .over our country. No section, town, village, 'city or hamlet can escape its demands, cle- mands that affect the lives of all of us. Yet. we here in America have not felt the full po- tency of total war, at least many of our in- .land towns and cities will be secure from the -scourge of the enemy. But this does not mean: that we can ever allow ourselves to deviate one 'iota from -the avowed purpose of total vic- tory. To achieve this, we must work, sacri- fice, and bend every effort individually and collectively to contribute our efforts where they are vitally needed to win the war. in every home in Port St. Joe, without ex- ,ception, there are things that have long out- lived their usefulness. True, they may be wrapped in memories-delightful mementos of children at play. John's first tricycle . Mary's doll carriage the skates that Bill learned oi. ... These are only things . things that have passed their utilitarian value, that we are asked to give as scrap. They aren't.scrap to us they mean some- thing in our lives. But our homes are still standing here. Over there they have a different kind of, scrap ... . they have the steel beams that used to sup- port the steeple of their church the iron railings that little hands used to grasp to help them up the stairs. Yes-they have much 'more scrap of that kind than we but let us give the scrap IN our homes-and not the scrap OF our homes. On the first day of September, the great- est war the world has ever known entered its . Jfourthr year. Those three years have wit- nessed a series of almost uninterrupted tri- numphs for 'Hitler and his satellites. The time- table of conquest makes almost incredible reading-Poland fell in 28 days, Denmark in one day, Norway in two months, Belgium in 18 days, France in 43 days. Of all the nations Hitler has invaded, Russia alone remains. It is very likely that historians of the future will write that Russia was the savior of the 'free world. Whatever happens, the magnifi- cent resistance of the Red army will mark one of the brightest and bravest pages in the long and sanguinary history of combat. We suggest that congress pass a bill pro- viding that when this war is over, all tax- payers be awarded a medal for valor.

A neighbor is a woman who borrows things SHOP AND MAIL EARLY Christmas may seem far away, these warm September days, but for persons with friends or relatives in the armed forces overseas, it is a season that demands inmediate consid- eration-that is, if they wint these absent .ones to receive at the appropriate time the gifts they plan to give then. The -army postal service frankly admits that it will not be able to handle Christmas business unless the public c(-operates. There.- fore, to this end, its chiefs are offering the public the following suggestions: 1. Begin buying overseas Christmas pres- ents now. 2. Wrap them in shoetox-size packages not exceeding five pounds. Ihis will simplify handling. If necessary, send several packages, but keep them under five rounds. 3. Try to get the packages in the mail by October 1, and under no circumstances later than November 1, otherwise the army cannot ensure delivery by Christmas, since there aren't enough ships and nail planes to ac- commodate a last-minute mushE 4. Don't bother to pti special delivery stamps on overseas parcel. This will cost you more money, but will not insure quicker delivery. Incidentally, have you given 'a thought to what service men want fo: Christmas? One magazine, after interviewing 1000 men In uniform on the question, discovered that the things they mostly want ire these: Water- proof wrist watches, cigarets, wallets, cigar lighters, pen and pencil sets, sewing kits and overnight bags. Subscriptbns to pocket-size magazines also might be an appropriate sug- gestion. In any event, as the Caristmas happiness of-millions of our boys defends upon our act- ing quickly, this year let's really do our Yule- tide shopping early. IDEALS TO THE FRONT Speaking at Macon, Ga., recently, Charles H. Murchison, regional OCD director, saik: "We have been in great d.aiier oi losing, if we have not already lost, out spiritual sense of value. But those of usIwho are aware of the danger of the moment know that about all we .can salvage out of t4is tragic moment is spiritual rejuvenation. I None of .us fears death; death we know is part of life. We are not so much interested in who will live after the war as we are in what will live after the war. We are thinking not of death, but of the resurrection. "If America can regain its soul and recap- ture its high concept of tile value of courage, and honor, and decency, the war will not have been fought in vain. Let's see to -it that she does save her soul." It used to be that new-paper editors from up in Alabama and Georgja, as well as inland sections of Northwest Florida, would come to the beaches in this section for a few days every summer, and drol il at The Star office to chew the fat. But this year nary an -'dItor has been around.

A. lot of people anxious for cool weather last week welcomed autumn-but they got fooled. : FRONT Ceilings on wages, salaries and farm products are set up as the answer to creeping inflation which OPA has not been able to stop en- tierly by its control of nmerchan- dise and. services. And it look like these will go into effect about October 1. Talk about drafting 18 and 19- year-old youths is a hoit topic. Boys that age probably should count on going into the army sometime around Christmas. Married men without children will go before them. Everybody Will Be Called On Nearly everybody, rich or poor, man or woman, will be called upon for war work before this thing is over, says the southeastern war manpower commission. Sooner or later you can figure you'll be on the farm, in a war factory or ship- yard, unless you're destined for the armed services. Youth Will Help Schools may be called on to furnish crews for harvesting, ra- tioning programs, civilian defense and other activities, while school buildings may be used for war work training and pre-military. .-)reparation. Educators have been asked to consider the effective war use of all youth-from grade- school pupils to college" sttldents. Living as usual is going out for the duration.

J(E.. GULF COUNTY, FLORIDA FRIDAY,. SEPTEMBER 11, 1942 'PAGE FOUR r A TO HELP 'WIN THE PEACE' (Continued from Page 1) number of our business men like Otto Anderson, W. C. Roche and others, who practically have their backs to the wall due to restrictions on gasoline, tires and cars. It is important to point out that this measure woula hurt nobody. In the first place, these big companies are prospering through war'aontract work, and don't need the comparatively, small amount of business represented by tire sales. But beyond that, it. is a fact that both the oil com- panies and the rubber companies do most of their business through independent dealers-so it would mean, for them, imply concentrating on wholesaling, so their own indepen- ..dent dealers could exist. Doesn't that seem fair? ' Tire manufacturers and -retreaders have demonstrated that a maximum of 3,500 tons of crude rubber is all that is required for the retreading of 30,000,000 "tires per year of the 'type of retread proposed. This is far less than that which has now monthly been allocated from the crude rub- ber stock pile by government officials for the manufactur- Sng of camelback for civilian passenger tire use since Pearl IHarbor. The Star urges you to support these tire conservation 'bills by writing to Senators Pepper and Andrews and Con-. gressman Sikes, urging their passage. It will mean that a number of small business men, not only in Port St. Joe, but throughout' the nation, will be given a new lease on life, and it will mean tha-t necessary transportation in many other vital cases will be available for the duration.

It will be realized that the mili- tary establishment is now in a po. sition, with increased equipment and facilities, to absorb larger numbers of inductees, and. that therefore local communities may expect far greater calls in the months ahead.
