It Could Have

Been Tragic


A plane flew low over Port St.
Joe about 9 o'clock Tulesday
night, heading out over the bay
and gradually flying lower and
lower. As it skimmed over the
water at an altitude of perhaps
100 feet, the pilot switched on
his landing lights, throwing a
brilliant right on the waves be-
low.
He was in distress, searching
for a place to "pancake" his ma-
chine where it would endanger
no lives-except his own and
that of his mechanic. Eventually
the plane landed on the beach at
Beacon Hill.
The plane was observed by the
Coast Guard patrol, and an ef-
fort was made to get in touch
with the Air Warning Service
tower here-but no one answered
-the observer who should have
been on duty had failed to show
up for his shift and had not no-
tified the chief observer that he
would not be on hand.
That plane might have crashed
In the bay and the pilot and his
mechanic gone down with the
ship, all because one observer
failed in his duty. Fortunately
it did not.
If the plane had crashed and
the two men drowned because
assistance did not reach them in
time due to the, fact that there
was no one on duty in our ob.
servation tower, we wonder if
that observer's conscience would
bother him becaus6,,he ,was re-
sponsible for the death of two of
our fighting men?
We know ours would.



Navy Day Dinner

Tuesday Evening

State Comptroller Will Be Guest
Speaker At Event Sponsored
By American Legion

Navy Day will be observed in
Port St. Joe next Tuesday evening,

Tallahassee, who has accepted the
honor tendered him by Commander
T. M. Schneider of the local'Le-
gion post.

Army ana Navy Relief society.

Lovett Works On Tower
Patty Lovett donated a day of
his time this week to the work of
putting in a sub-floor in the ob-1
servation tower and placing roof-
ing paper on the outside in order
that the post will be more comfort-
able for those on duty during the
coming winter months.

VOTE "YES" ON NO.
EIGHT AMENDMENT

Every newspaper in the state
should be working to see that
Amendment 8, "Garnishment of
Wages," is passed by the voters
at the coming November elec-
tion, for it gives the merchants
and business men (the men who
keep the newspapers going with
their advertising and job work)
an opportunity to collect on ac-
counts from "dead beats" that
they otherwise would have to
mark off as bad debts. The
Star favors passage of this
measure and urges readers to
consider carefully before voting
against it. Florida is one of the
few states in the nation that
does not have a law of this type.
We are urging a plain YES-
not a plain NO on this measure.

Our Country W Right or Wrong

"WE ARE STILL LOSING THE WAR-"
"We are still losing the war," said Assist-
ant Secretary of the Navy Bard, recently,
"and we should damn well understand it."
Lieutenant General Somervell struck a simi-
lar note when he said: "If we continue to
lose a little while longer, it will be too late
to save ourselves, America and civilization."
These two men, who should know what they
are talking about, have said something that a
lot of complacent people in Port St. Joe,
who have been sitting back on their fannies
and taking no part in defense activities, should
consider well, and after considering, if the im-
port of what these two gentlemen state sinks
in, bestir themselves and volunteer for some
part in, our defense activities.

HOT DOGS!
According to leading manufacturers of the
lowly weiner (hot dog to you), their product
is the answer to the threatened meat short-
age and consequent rationing.
They state that the meat shortage is chiefly,
in steaks, roasts, chops, hams and 'shoulders,
which are sought for the army, navy and lease-
lend needs. Meeting this demand brings a
bumper crop of beef and pork trimmings which
go to stuff the lucious links.
Perhaps this is the solution to the rationing
of meats and we urge that no limit be placed
on the purchase of the succulent sausages.
Some people might not take willingly to the
"hot dog," but their patriotism should come to
the fore and cause them to buy the sausage
in lieu of the less plentiful cuts of meat.
With us, it's okeh. Hot dog! Pass the
mustard!

It wouldn't be a bad idea to set aside a day
of praying for the taxpayers.-Cocoa Tribune.

BRING ON THAT WAR!
When do we fight? Being soldiers, we have
sat around for months now, waiting for that
question to be answered for us. It hasn't
been.
Meanwhile the wounds of the world have
been gouged deeper, and salt has been poured
into the wounds. We came here to fight. In-
stead we have listened to sales talk as if
someone were trying to sell us the idea of
fighting
These facts we hold to be self-evident:
That we need the planes, the guns, the ord-
nance, the transport to win this war. We
know, furthermore, that the world at war is
a vast maze of complicated problems in
logistics and transport and production, and
we know that fronts are hard to open .
We came here to fight. We have waited.
Complex be the world or not, we came here
to fight. We did not come here to wait.
Did they wait at Dunkirk for some minis-
try to build them a fleet of luxury liners to
come and take them home? 'Did they'wait at
.Tobruk for air-conditioned barracks? Or over
the Channel in September, 1940, did they sit
around and wait for a new catalog of fighter
planes to hurl at the enemy?
The marines have had their first offensive
crack at the enemy in the Solomon Islands.
The navy has had its crack at the Axis all
over the world. The air force has knocked
silly certain of the enemy emplacements,
However, their action alone will not win' the
war, and we know it. The greater burden lies
with the army, and the army has not had its
chance at offensive action.
We know that only the warrior is the con-
queror, and we cannot win this war without
fighting. It's not easy. It is never going to
be easy to open a front or start fighting. But
as soldiers we came here to fight. When in
God's name do we fight?-AEF "Yank."

Taxpayers Assn.

Asks Voters Pass

Amendment No. 6


Would Give Gulf and Calhoun
Counties Senator On In-
creased Population

In a letter sent to every news-
paper in Florida this week in re-
gard to the nine constitutional
amendments to be voted upon in
the November election, the Florida
Taxpayers association endorsed
seven and disapproved of two.
Among the seven approved was
No. 6, the amendment creating
senators for Broward and Calhoun-
Gulf counties. In. regard to this
measure the letter said:
"Population increase warrants
their representation. We favor
redistricting of the whole state.
WE RECOMMEND ITS 1PASS-
AGE."
Statement of the association. on,
amendment No. 1, the gas tax al-
location amendment, was as fol-
lows: "Most important to vote yes.
Reduces property taxes by reliev-
ing road and bridge bond, service
taxes. Provides 4 cents per gallon
for highways. Permits refunding
at 3 per cent. Stabilizes bond
debts. Creates surplus for sinking
funds and to county and state
highways. (The 2 cents now pro-
vides more funds than the original
3-cent tax.) We strongly urge its
passage."
The two amendments disap-
proved of by the association are
No. 8, garnishment of wages, and
No. 9, tax exemption of commer-
mercial property owned by re-
ligious, scientific, municipal, fra-
ternal, educational, literary and
charitable corporations.
