They are going out to find and bring in the things of which tanks and ships are made-rusty pipe, broken bed springs, old stoves, air guns that won't shoot any longer -junk. The local regiment is headed by Principal W. A. Biggant, who ranks as a major in the junior service. County School Superinten- dent Tom Owens is colonel of Gulf county's regiment, and the teach- ers rank as captains. School boys and girls of each class room will be the lieutenants, sergeants, corporals and privates of the Junior Army here. Thqse who do well will be promoted, just like real soldiers in our fighting army. A fighting army uses maps and scouts ev-ery foR of ground, and Major Biggant announces that the Junior .Army will. scout le city and 'surrounding countryside In the same way for pieces Of junk, "So long as the junk remains ungathered," he said, "it is part of the starvation enemy of our steel mills, our war factories and our fighting men. Port .St. Joe boys and girls are going to find and take prisoner 'all of that enemy In this vicinity." The public is urged to co-oper- ate with the students when they call,by giving, them eirery avail- able pieces of scrap. Those pieces which are too large for the chil- dren .to carry away will be called for with a truck. The scrap ma- terial will be piled in a corner of the school yard and, through ar- rangements made by Marc Flel- shel, head of the Gulf county sal-, vage committee, when a sufficient amount has been gathered a junk concern in Columbus, Ga., will send a man here to sort it into the various grades, weigh it and pay for it. Proceeds from sale of the scrap will go to the school fund and be used. mainly to pro- vide lunches for underprivileged children. SCRAP METAL ADMITS TO SHOW AT PORT NEXT SATURDAY MORNING Manager Ben Rivers of the Port theatre announces ,that a special "Junk Matinee" will be held at the theatre Saturday morning at 10 o'clock as a part of the drive ,to get in the scrap. Price of admission will be 15 pounds or more of scrap metal. The scrap thus collected will be turned over to the Kiwanis club which in turn will add it to the collection at the school yard. Masons Enjoy Supper Members of the Masonic lodge gathered at the hall Friday night at a supper observing "Old Timers Night." Roy Bush, who has joined th- armed forces, was honored at this time.

Right or Wrong KIDS LAST RESORT TO GET IN SCRAP Apparently we older folks have fallen down on the scrap salvage campaign, for the gov- ernment at Washington is now putting on one more salvage campaign with the hope that re- sults will prove that the people of tmle United States-represented by the school children- will get busy and do a real job. So far they have not done this, and the kids are the last resort. Now you, Mr. and Mrs. Port St. Joe, whack are you going to do about this drive? What will Gulf county do about it? If the United States can not produce more scrap-and that means Gulf county and every other county- our country is in a bad jam in its defense pro- duction. The nation-wide scrap collection by school children starts next Monday, so when your doorbell- rings, and you find an eager-faced youngster waiting there, your first reaction may be to give him a hasty "brush-off." Don't. Th bloy or girl will be one of the millions of school kids who will be donating their time and efforts .to a worthy cause on which we oldsters fell down. Kids know that a war is going on, and they know it's not just a glamorous game, a dra- rnatic pageant of heroes. They know how vital is the nation's need for scrap. They are will- ing to sacrifice play-time to help. They could Society Person PHONE 51 MRS. W. S. S DEFENSE COMMITTEE OF P.-T. A.
