Our Country Right or Wrong

OLD TIMES COMING BACK?
The Port St. Joe Pilot club tonight is giv-
ing a box supper at the Centennial auditor-
ium, to be followed by a dance and cakewalk.
Which causes us to wonder if the car, tire
and gasoline restrictions will bring about a
return of these old-time, homey forms of en-
tertainment that used to be so popular in the
days before the automobile speeded up the
mode of living?
A lot of us, including the editor, can hark
back to the days when box suppers were held
regularly by various organizations for the
purpose of raising money, and of the good
times enjoyed at these affairs where every-
one knew everyone else and a spirit of good-
fellowship held sway which is missing from
most of the social gatherings held nowadays.
More power to the ladies of the Pilot club,
and may their supper tonight be so success-
ful that they will makd it a regular monthly
occurrence. It is our belief that they could
hold with success an old-fashioned square
dance, replete with such dances as the polka,
Virginia reel, schottische, minuet and quad-
rille-if they can discover anyone who re-
members how these dances go.

Don't forget, your boy ii t'he service is just
as anxious to hear from you as you are to
-hear from him. Write today-or, better yet,
send him The Star as a sort of weekly letter
from home-it will only cost one dollar for a
year, and it will give him ALL the home
town news.

NO ANCESTRAL HOMES
Because Port St. Joe is a very young city
and because most of the residents have lived
here only a few years, there is not the same
sentiment about the homes in which our peo-
ple live that is found in communities where
families have occupied the same residence
for a great many years. Port St. Joe is too
young to have ancestral homes. In other see-
tions of the nation, which have been settled
for a hundred years or more, the same house
has been occupied by several generations of
one family and the home is regarded with
veneration and respect, and it could not be
bought at any price. Had not old St. Joseph
died out, undoubtedly we would have had a
number of what could be called ancestral
homes in our city today.
In Port St. Joe the majority of the houses
are new. A house built twenty years ago is
regarded as being old, and even the family
that built it does not regard it in the same
way they would a house used by the children
and grandchildren. One cannot feel very
much local attachment for a residence that
has been occupied only a few years
Too, in Port St. Joe, large numbers of
people who build homes do so with no
thought of occupying them for the remainder
of their lives, as they have property else-
where which they are.-developing with the
money they earn here as their permanent fu-
ture abode.

ODE TO A SPARE
Here lies the carcass of one we admire, af-
fectionately known in the past as a tire.
We've bust 'im and cussed 'im, and when he
was flat, we'd feed 'im with air from an oxy-
gen vat. We'd ride 'im and chide 'im, and
tread on 'im too, then plaster his bruises with
patches and glue. When weary and worn we
would give 'im a boot, but he just kept on
rolling, and still remained mute.
He never complained as he carried his load,
although you would think he would some day
explode! His chaos and hardships have just
gone 'to prove that, though he's grown older,
he's still in the groove. We suffer and cry
for the treatment we've given, for now he's
worth more than the rest of us livin'! Yet
though he is stringy, he's wielding more
powers, and we love the old fellow-because
he is ours.-Pica.

Everybody should be happy now Red
Skelton is back on the air.

day evening will be in charge of

missions committee. -
