PROMOTED IlIIIIIIIIII I nIIIIII l IliiIIi Il I IIIllIinii IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII 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, October 27, with a dinner and pro- gram to be held, at the Splendid Cafe under sponsorship of the American Legion post, assisted by the various civic clubs of the city. Mayor J. L. Sharit has issued a proclamation designating Tuesday as Navy Day and urging all patri- otic citizens to co-operate to the fullest 'xtent in promoting the dinner. Guest speaker for the event will be State Comptroller Jim Lee of Tallahassee, who has accepted the honor tendered him by Commander T. M. Schneider of the local'Le- gion post. Proceeds from the sale of tick- ets to the banquet will go to the 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.

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.

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.

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." Introducing Gladys (Va.),.

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.
