District Director Says There Are
Hundreds of Citizens Able to

The Star herewith presents an
important letter written 'to the
newspapers of the city by George
"L. 9iowden, district civil director
of the Aircraft Warning .Service,
from data on the Port St. Joe ob-
-servation post furnished by Chief
-Observer W. S. Smith. We quote:
"'W. S. Smith, Editor The Star:
"The St. Joe aircraft spotting
tower has now been completed for
lover three months. 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. Up un-

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.


Seal This Year

Portection of the Home Front Is
Slogan of the 1942
Seal Sale

Protection of the home front is
the slogan of the 1942 Christmas
Seal, Sale and defense councils
throughout Flor-

of the 1942 Seal
is .shown here.
This year's
Seal, symbol of
the war against tuberculosis, was
designed by Dale Nichols, out-
standing American artist whose
paintings of red barns have long
been famous. The 1942 Seal shows
a country scene with the typical
Nichols red barn and white farm-
house in the background. It is one
of the most attractive designs in
a list that now numbers 36, one

perience of an unrememberedd"

Record Crowd At

Amateur Contest


'Standing Room Only' Sign Hung
Out At Pilot Club Event
Wednesday Night

The much-heralded "Amateur
Contest" sponsored by the. 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. Thle judges, who
were three members of the Signal
Corps stationed in this vicinity,
accorded first place to Mrs. Max
Kilbourne for her rendition at the
piano of one of her own composi-
tions, but ruled her out of the
amateur class. 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.
Brown and Mrs. Sammy Davis.
The Pilot club realized $73 from
the event, which will be used to
carry on their varied civic activi-
ties, and the members of the or-
ganization extend taeir thanks to
those who aided with the show,
the contestants and the public for
their co-operation in making the
event the success that it was.

County Would Get

Much Cash Under

New Amendment

Would No Longer Be Necessary tO
Levy Taxes for Paying Old
Road and Bridge Debts

Although it does not mean much
in debt liquidation, Gulf county
having but $36,440 in road and
bridge bonds issued prior to July,
1931, this county will collect $3,-
055,067 cash for new and recon-
structed, highways from the pro-
posed gas tax amendment which
comes up for ratification by the
people at next Tuesday's general
election. 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. It

from August 9 to October 11 there
were 66 hours each week when

wheffiA' enemy flight of bombers

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

lack of full understanding and ap-

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,

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.

Per Capita Income Five Tires, No

Applicants For Gasoline Rationing
During Past Eight Years; Ex- Cards Will Have to Swear to
pect War Production to Number In Possession
Increase It In 1942
When gasoline rationing strikes
Florida's per capital income has Port St. Joe within the next few
doubled in the last eight years, !weeks, one of the jolts probably


rising from $272 in 1933 to the
e- ..d high of $544, in 1941, ac-
cording to data released by the
Florida State Chamber of Com-
:n:rce. 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.

-in store for the average motorist
is that he will not be permitted to
own more than five tires for each
vehicle registered in his name.
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.
"If at all possible, the pullets
should be given ample summer
