The splendid co-operation of the various mer- chants, individuals, clubs and cor- porations which donated material, time or money to construct the tower has received' recognition and commendation from army officers of the First Fighter Command. The tower was pronounced the "best in this section of the state. "We have .been advised 'by head- quarters that special attention is .given to reports originating at the St. Joe tower. There must be some cause for this special attention, and one does not have to look far to find the reason. "Considering the above, it his been very disappointing to those of us wiho see.,what t lier com- -munities are doifig, that the St. Joe post has not received the co-oper- ation from volutneers that its im- portance rightly deserves.

Navy Day Dinner Draws Large Crowd Comptroller Jim Lee Delivers Ad- dress of Evening at Event Sponsored By Legion The banquet room of the Splen- did Cafe was jammed to the doors Tuesday evening by those attend- ing the Navy Day dinner sponsored by the American Legion at which Comptroller Jim Lee was the main speaker. Preceding Colonel Lee's talk, Basil E. Kenney, master of cere- monies, introduced Mrs. T. H. Stone and Mrs. W. T. Shoemaker, the only two war mothers present; Walter Roberts and his men from the Coast Guard unit, a-id Mr. and Mrs. Ray Neal of Tallahassee, who accompanied Mr. Lee. In leading up to -the introductions, Mr. Ken- ney made the brightest remark of the evening when he said that "if all toastmasters were laid end-to- end it would be a damn good thing." When Colonel Lee was intro- duced he made the usual remark of being "unprepared," andi then proceeded to talk for 45 minutes, praising the war mothers and stating that "our navy Is the guar- dian of freedom on the.high seas and on our shores," and that "the people have not yet awakened to the responsibility and bhe .oblga- tion that th-y cv.*oe'tofte navy." It is customary for Mr. Lee to launch into the matter of taxes in his speeches, but Tuesday night he refererd to the. matter *but once when he said, near the close of his talk, "everybody ought to, pay their taxes to support our army and navy." Proceeds from sale of tickets to the banquet, which were sold by various civic organizations, will go to the Navy Relief society.

Port St. Joe Pilot club at the Port -the- ater -Wednesday night drew one of the largest crowds in the history of the theater, and Manager Ben Rivers was forced to regretfully hang out the "Standing Room Only" sign. Approximately forty contestants vied for first honors at the event, with the little Misses Dolores Mira and Lenora Brown, spon- sored by Wilks Jewelry and! the Chavers-Fowhand Furniture com- pany, taking top honors and a cash prize. of $2.50. jMiss Marigene Smith .was awarded second place, receiving a two weeks' pass to the Port theater.

All contestants put on fine performances, but space forbids listing each and every one. Hit of the evening was Gordon Thomas, depicting a knight of the road as.a..spe:ia! .rao pu'- nr by the theater. He occupied a coiner of the stage throughout t'he, entire performance and drew many guf- faws from the audience with his antics. Larry Evans acted as master of ceremonies and added his bit to make the evening the success it was. Providing acEcompaniments at the piano for various contestants were Mrs. S. L. Barkle, Mrs. C. A.

However, the taxpayers can forget about that $36,440 which is taken over by the state. This is according to. figures re- leased 'by the State Association of County Commissioners in Talla- hassee this week. They are based on tabulations prepared by the au- diting department and the di- vision of research and records of the state road department. For the entire state the amend- ment will liquidate $171,S95,054 worth of high interest bearing road and bridge bonds and provide more than $400,000,000 additional over the 50-year period for perfec- tion of the statedand coJuty high- way systems without "additional 0ost to taxpayers. T1,e- auerjd.Jtieuit woulw- i.ke it no longer necessary fIOr counties to levy ad valorem taxes for the purpose of paying the old road and bridge bond debts, because it turns the task of liquidating these debts over to the already existing board of administration (the governor, state treasurer and state comp- troller) for" payment from two cents of the present gasoline tax, The measure does not change the method of allocation of gas tax revenue, this remaining tl&e same as it has been since the 1931 legislature. After each county's road bond debts are paid, that county continues to get the bene- fits in cash for new and recon. structed roads within the county. As E. Clay. Lewis said in speaking before the Kiwanis club last week, every road, street and hog trail in Gulf county will eventually be paved- under provisions of this amendment. The amendment has been en- dorsed by the state chamber of commerce, the State Association of County Commissioners, the State Association of County Attor- neys, 64 of the 67 individual county commissions, including the Gulf county board, taxpayers' groups and scores of individuals through- out the. state prominent for their interest in public affairs and the future welfare of their state.

Fowl Hunters Need Permits All Nimrods Are Required to Get Permission From the Coast Guard Gulf county nimrods who expect 'to bring back a bag of water fowl in this section, as well as on the east coast of Florida, this season must obtain a special coast guard permit and observe the following restrictions: 1. All federal and state laws must be obeyed. 2. A coast guard identification card must be carried. 3.

Cameras, firearms and binoc- ulars must not be carried in pro- *bibited or restricted zones. PUBLIC DOES NOT REALIZE IMPORTANCE OF AWS POST HERE (Continueds From Page 1) this post but an average of 61 per cent of the time. This means that from August 9 to October 11 there were 66 hours each week when there :was no one in the tower and wheffiA' enemy flight of bombers could have flown over our city without being reported. It means that during that time there were 66 hours each week when our Fighter Command, as well as vari- ous defense agencies, have been depending upon us to keep them advised and we have been asleep at the switch. However, *this has been corrected to some extent in the past two weeks, 'the average number of -u-rs now being ap- proximately 40 each week when there is no one in the tower. "I can attribute this failure to only one thing, and that is the lack of full understanding and ap- preciation, on the part of the pub- lic, of the true importance of thu Aircraft Warning Service. It is In- conceiyable that any man or wo- man, fully cognizan'tof the import- ance of the system of our over-all defense, would be indifferent to the many calls for volunteers to serve as aircraft observers. Nor is it conceivable that anyone fully aware of the great service they would be rendering, permit a little inconvenience to interfere with their serving two hours a week as an observer. "There are hundreds of men and women in Port St. Joe who can well spare two hours per week to serve as observers, and yet to date only a mere handful, so to speak, have been serving.. Numer- ous appeals for volunteers have been made orally by the chief ob- server and The Star has co-oper- ated wholeheartedly by making such appeals in its columns. De- spite all these efforts and the pub- licity given to the importance of the AWS, our post in Port St. Joe has been only 61 per cent effi- cient. "There are many observers who have taken their shift faithfully. There are other volunteers who have "dropped in" occasionally and have failed to report at other times. There are many who volun- teered to serve but wo'hoave never filled their shift at all. Lastly, I IiKOF/AMER/A 7 TOOTHtPOW/ER,| Keep your teeth sparkling.

"Some claim that the work is unnecessary.' Others, after serv- ing one or two weeks, have be- come "bored" and quit. Still others after not reporting a plane for several weeks, can't see the 'rhyme )r reason' and lost interest. Then there are those who are so busy that they don't have time to act is observers but who somehow are able to find time to go fishing, at- tend various meetings and social functions.

Ohr Country Right or Wrong HEADACHE FOR THE MERCHANT Price fixing may sound simple to the man in the street, but it's a monumental headache to our retail merchants. Ask any merchant in Port St. Joe today. Never before have the people and the in- dustries of America faced the necessity of- donning a regulatory straitjacket such as is embodied in the deluge of leaflets and pamph- lets being sent to storekeepers from Maine to California-and even editors of country weeklies like The Star have a set of rules and regulations to follow. Everything from gum to tractors is being "fixed" or "frozen." The price of each item on a retailer's shelves must b'e carefully set according to formula. The merchants of Port St. Joe, as well as elsewhere, are striving valiantly to comply with the complicated ceiling decrees issued from Washington. A great many of them have 'unknowingly become lawbreakers be- cause they have found it impossible to quickly understand the technical rules, and we be- live that in this instance the old saying that ignorance is no excuse should not be applied. Ignorance, if you care to call it that, is a very definite excuse. And if the administrating officials are wise they will not begin our new authoritarian era by fining or throwing any erring storekeepers into the hoosgow until they have determined his intent. After all, our main job is to win the war, not persecute good American citizens. FORCED SPEED NEEDED NOW The recent, Washington announcement which said that it is now hoped that enough rubber can be provided to keep all civilian cars going, is extermely encouraging. For the first time, the people have been given something beside "official" rumors and con- flicting statements. And for the first time, it looks as if the government is going to at- tempt to' solve the rubber problem with speed and efficiency. This country's cars must be kept going. America can't be compared to other nations, where the motor car was a luxury enjoyed only by the rich. We have literally built our social and industrial life on the automobile. If, because of lack of rubber, any substantial .part of our 27,000,000 cars were taken out of circulation, the resulting slow-down would have a catastrophic effect on the war effort., The rubber program must go ahead-and go at forced-speed. Three major legislative proposals, lower- ing the draft age, abolishing state poll taxes in federal elections, and mobilizing the na- tion's manpower in an all-out war effort, have been placed on the "don't-open-until-after- election" shelf by congress. Seems that our legislators in Washington don't realize that there's a war on-it's politics as usual with them. Haven't heard lately of anyone bumping a cow on the.highway. Slower speed gives -the motorist a chance to dodge bossy. OUR QUERY ANSWERED Some three weeks ago the editor queried: "If anyone would be so kind, we'd like infor- mation on just what is a 'zoot suit.' Yester- day, one of our readers wrote us as follows: "Dear Editor Bill-If you must know just what is a 'zoot suit,' it consists of a pair of trousers reaching almost to the armpits, bal- looning to about 32 inches at the knee and tapering in a most spectacular manner to a cuff barely large enough to insert the foot. In action, the wearer gives the effect of two up-ended baby blimps. "That takes care of the lower portion, and now we come to the coat-which is really something! It gets off-to a flying start with three to six inches of padding in the shoul- ders, then drips sloppily almost to the knee. "To complete the suit and add a touch of ghastliness to the enesmble, the hat is broad- brimmed with a flat top, spaniel-eared sus- penders hold up the trousers, a narrow string tie encircles the neck, the coat is adorned with pearl buttons about the size of a silver dollar, and the trouser cuffs are so tight that they have to be zippered. Just why they call them 'zoot suits' is beyond me. "Trusting that this answers fully your re- cent query, I am, yours truly-A Friend." The description gives us the creeps just to think of a human being, outfitted in such a gorgonean ensemble. It might be a good idea to dress our soldiers in such appalling uni- forms undoubtedly it would startle the enemy to such an extent that they would be frozen in their tracks and be a pushover for our boys. A TOP SERGEANT OBJECTS A top sergeant at Camp Blanding has spoken his mind on a very important matter, and he spoke for public consumption. He is tired of hearing civilians mention sol- diers as "boys," and he wishes the public would stop applying such a label to men. .The sergeant says he knows full well that most civilians who refer to soldiers as "boys" are merely being affectionate, but he says fur- ther that he and all other soldiers would be much obliged if the public figured out some other way of indicating affection. The sergeant maintains that a male being old enough to go through rigorous training and then go off to war and fight is far from being a boy. Take the protesting Sgt. Hugh B. Strick- land, for instance. He has been in the army 13 years. He has served in the Philippines, in Panama and at other posts, and we betcha he knows how to bark orders to a group of men. Well, it would sound pretty foolish to call a man like Sergeant Strickland a boy. Fact is, you'd better not let him hear you call him a boy. "I've been in the army a long time, and I've known a lot of soldiers, and it's just like, waving a red flag in front of a bull to call one of us a boy," says the sergeant. Of course, if a girl wants to call a: sergeant "my darling soldier boy" and stuff like that, when they're holding hands in the moonlight on the shore of Lake Morton, that's their, business. We. believe that even Sergeant .Strickland might purr to such talk. What he's objecting to is public use of the label "boys," and we think he's exactly right.-Lakeland Ledger. The telephone is a wonderful instrument, and we take our hlat off to Alexander Gra- ham Bell for inventing it (or was it Don Ameche?), but-at times it becomes an instru- ment of the devil-particularly when Ye Ed is composing an editorial and the telephone rings, interrupting his train of thought. The army's current proposition offering 18 and 19-year-old youths their choice of service in any one of 13 branches is. strictly an all-. American proposition. Don't think for a min- ute all those boys now fighting for the axis had their preference. e ...... .. .. .. .. ... - i'-Theuryis deadlocked, your Honof-they can't decide S. towhom to award the tires."

Increased war production is expected to raise it above $600 for 1942. Labor has more than held its own in the swelling flood of for- tune. Higher wage rates combined with generally improved business conditions have jumped total wage a:d salary income 150 per cent, :rcm $255,000,000 in 1933 to $638,- 103,000 in 1941. Labor's proportion- c:e share of the state income in- creased in the same period from 5S.7 per cent to 60.4 per cent. The average wage and salary payment to employes in non-agricultural es- tablishments is estimated to have ,isen to a new high of $1,436 In .941, compared with $1,323 in 1938. Greatest increase has been in t ,e share of government employes, ..hich rose from 8.4 per cent in 1929 to 12.4 per cent in 1941 when government wages and, salaries mounted to $130,200,000. Analysis of income, estimates u:'nce 1929 by industrial divisions and including profits and wages, .show that the proportionate shari' produced by agriculture reached a high in 1930 of 12.3 per cent and declined fairly steadily to 1940 when it was responsible for only 7.7 per cent, a total of $70,200,000 of net-income. It started an up- ward, trend again in 1941 with a 'et income of $88,000,000, or 8.3 per cent of the state total, and vill undoubtedly show a further increase in 1942. ,Manufacturing industries, on the other hand, reached their propor- tionate high in 1929 when the3. accounted for $75,200,000 of the net income, or 10.6 per cent of the state's total. Since that time they have been averaging about 8 peri cent. Total net income from manu- facturing in 1941 amounted to $83,500,000. Trade and service industries produced $257,000,000 in income in 1941 as compared with $101,100,000 in 1933. These industries, the most responsive to fluctuations in tour- ist trade, show the steady Increase in volume of tourist business. Sig- nificantly, the 1940 income at- tributable to these industries, while lower in dollars than for 1941, accounted for 29 per cent of the state's total income, compared with 27.2 per cent for 1941.

According to word reaching au- tomotive circles here, the appli- cant for a rationing card will have to swear that he does not own more than five tires for each of his cars or indicate a willingness to sell the extra casings to the gov- ernment. Representatives of the nation's rubber industry say this program, which will be extended to the eastern states already operating under the gasoline rationing plan, probably will result in the release of approximately 6,000,000 tires, many, of them new. BALANCED FEED FOR PULLETS PRIME NEED Growing pullets must be sup- plied with all the well-balanced feed they will consume if they are to be efficient "Food-for-Freedom" egg producers this fall and winter, says N. R. M'eifrhof, poultry spe- cialist with the state agricultural extension service. "The necessity for ;rowing out husky, heavy-bodied, pullets can- not be overemphasized," Mehrhof said, "if these pullets are to strike the egg-laying pace required of them by Uncle Sam to provide enough eggs for our allies, mili- tary forces, and domestic needs. "The ideal growing ration should contain enough protein to assure full growth and weight before egg production begins. But, in addi- tion to receiving a properly bal- anced ration, they must be allowed to eat all they want." (Next in importance to feeding is range, according to Mehrhof.
