The spoken word barely asserts; the prln.ed word thoroughly convinces. The spoken word is lost; the printed word remains. Our Country W Right or Wrong THEY ALSO SERVE-- In talking casually with various members of the civilian defense setup here in Port St. Joe,. the editor finds that a large number'of them are losing interest in the defense coun- cil or developing.an apathetic attitude toward the various activities. What they should re- .alize.is that the hardest job confronting them after the time they have put in learning. first aid, fire-fighting, bomb defense and the other -courses 'in civilian defense, is waiting. -The whole idea and concept behind civilian defense is to have this trained group ready as long as there is a possibility of a bombing -taking place any time in the .future. SThese men and women who must stand by during the dull and tedious days of waiting for something which we. hope-will never oc- cur, should realize with satisfaction that "they also serve who only stand and wait." SHARE THE -SENATORS -Referring to an editorial that appeared in . The Star several weeks ago, the Punta Gorda *Herald has this to say: "The folks up Port St. Joe way don't agree with us that the two proposed new senator- ial districts are unnecessary and would mean an unjustified additional expense to the tax- payers,, Gulf county wants one of those new senators and stands to get him unless the people defeat the constitutional amendment providing for them, at the polls in November. "Now Gulf or any other growing county can't be blamed for wanting more adequate representation in the legislature. What we need, however, is a reapportionment of sena- torial representation-not two new ones. Perhaps Gulf county could prevail upon an- other West Florida district to give up its sen- ator, to whom it hasn't any right anyway by reason of population. Why not get Hamilton county .to turn over its senator. 'Twould ac- complish the same results and cost no one anything extra." Yes, Hamilton county could be asked to give up its senator, but it probably would lead to bloodshed. GAS RATIONING TO SAVE RUBBER National rationing of gasoline is not pro- posed because there is a shortage. To the contrary, there is an abundance of gasoline of -all ordinary grades, and int the producing areas the oil companies are hard-put for stor- age facilities. Gasoline rationing is to be im- posed, instead, to save rubber-and to save rail and water transportation facilities for other uses. At present, gasoline rationing applies to 17 eastern states. According to Leon Hender- son, it will be extended to the balance of tht country on precisely the same basis. That means that motorists of Gulf county will be entitled to four gallons weekly-enough 'to carry him about 70 miles. Supplemental al- lowances will be given to "essential" drivers. Practically all pleasure driving,' which in this section is mainly for \the purpose of going fishing, will be eliminated for the duration. Drastic restrictions on the use of automo- biles will work a veritable revolution in this nation. Within the next year, without rub- ber, transportation problems will becoine acute. Tires are really beginning to wear out in volume now, and soon we will see car af- ter car go into dead storage for lack of rub- ber. This not only will hit the workers who drive to and from work, but it will hit farm production in a critical manner, and we de- pend almost entirely on the motor car for short-haul transport. So the lack of rubber, not gasoline, remains our number one domes- tic problem. Ever since World War, I this editor has advocated compulsory military training for the young men, of our nation. The national convention of the American)Legion this week passed a resolution calling for compulsory military training after the war-and gener- ally when the Legion goes after something it gets it.

Hersheyi is looking' every place for men for his draft. I got an idee for him. Down here where we hang out there's only .one rural delivery per day. It's enough. Sometimes I even think it'd be better ,every second. day. The bills we git, if they only came every odd or even day, would save half on our headaches. But in all the big towns, in the resi- dence section, there are two de- liveries a day. The idee of two de- liveries got started, I guess, when, some congressman had no ,other place to park his son-in-law. He had to git him off'n his hands, so they thought up two deliveries. The P. 0. has been havin' a deficit very year ever since. If Gen. Hershey could get only half these mail carriers in the city residence sections he could go to town-and the P. 0. wouldn't need so many barrels of red ink which hey keep askin' us to dig up for. every year-which we do.
