County Debt Is

Greatly Reduced

During Past Yeai


'Figures From Clerk's Office Sho\
'Total Reduction of $22,113
In Two-Year Period

Figures released this week front
the office of Joe Hunter, clerk o:
the circuit court, show a big re
duction in the debt of Gulf count)
during the past two years, other
than bonds and time warrants.
At the end of the fiscal yeai
September 30, 1940, total unpaid
bills chargeable to the county
amounted to $33,402.21, and at the
end of the next fiscal year, Sep-
tember 30, 1941, the total came to
$31,071.03, a reduction of $2,331.18.
,But this $2300 reduction was a
mere drop in the bucket, so to
speak, when compared with the
fiscal year just .ended, which
showed total unpaid bills charge-
able to the county amounting to
but $11,389.12, or a reduction of
$19,681.91 during the preceding 12
months. This is a total of $22,113.09
sliced off the county's indebted-
ness during a two-year period.
When it is taken into considera-
tion that this reduction has been
made in the face of a consider-
able sum lost to the county from
the gasoline tax and race track at*-
location due to the war, the tax-
payers of the county should ex-
tend deserved congratulations to
our board of commissioners.
Clerk Hunter states s that these
reductions have been made pos-
sible by. the strictest economy dur-
ing the past three years, the race
track money and whaT little gas
tax revenue received having beer
used wisely and applied mainly to
old debts.

SOS Sent Out

For More Fats

Every Housewife Urged to Act
Now, As Need For Explosives
For Our Fighters Is Critical

The need for waste fats to make
explosives for our fighting forces
has grown so critical that the War
Production Board this week is
sending this SOS to every house-
wife in Port St. Joe and vicinity:
"WP'B requests fat collections
4be increased immediately to
maximum amount possible"
, The lives of many of our Port
St. .Joe boys in the army, navy
and marine, corps depend upon our
speedy, response to 'this SOS.
Admittedly, the collection of
waste fat here has been "spotty,"
but that fault has been remedied
by approval of a new OPA amend-
ment designed as a step toward
completion of collection facilities.
fThis amendment allows shipping
land collection costs 'to be added
to the ceiling price for waste, fat.
Following approval of the new
amendment, R. K. White, chief of
the general salvage section of
WPB, said that "EVERY HOUSE-
WIFE, regardless of size or loca-
tion of the community in which
'she lives, is being asked to. save
waste fats. Meat dealers are urged
constantly to buy these waste fats
from 'the housewife."

Aviation Cadet
.Carl Kelley, who is stationed at
the naval pre-flight school at
Athens, Ga.,' is now an aviation
cadet.


Claude Grinslade

Tells Experiences

Wewahitchka Youth Was Aboard
Wasp Duirng Battle of
Coral Sea

The following article, reprinted
form the Gulf County Breeze, was
written by Claude Grinslade, son
of Mr. and Mrs. H. D. Grinslade of
Wewahitchka, telling of his experi-
ences while aboard the, ill-fated
Wasp, sunk during 'the battle of
the Coral Sea:
"After joining the Wasp force
in April, 1942, we did patrolling in
the north and south Atlantic until
June. Then steering through the
Panama Canal, we joined a task
,orce in the great Pacific 'to take
part in the battle mission in the
Coral Sea..
"While preparing- to combat a
Japanese task force south of the
Solomons we. were attacked un-
aware by Japanese submarines at
2:45 September 15. Two torpedoes
hit admidships on the starboard
side, causing a list of 5 degrees.
Being down six decks below, I felt


the full impact of each torpedo, t e Vote W ent
which put out all the lights and the Vote Went


cut off the power. Twenty min-
utes of trying all controls and
finding it impossible to continue
the useless trials because of in-
coming smoke, we received orders
to abandon ship. (As the navy has
not put out details, I decline to de-
scribe all.) Staying two or three
hours in the water, we were fi-
I nally picked- up. by., detro'oyers,
later to be put aboard transports
for a long voyage to San Diego.
"For 'the first time in four
months we put foot upon solid
ground and gave humble thanks
unto God. for sparing our lives
through such terrible disasters. I
am also thankful He provided a
-way for me to return to friends
and loved ones."
Claude visited for a week with
his parents in Wewahitchka, 'and
is now oh duty at Baltimore, Md.

To Attend Conference
Rev. 0. Lan'gston expects to
leave next Wednesday for Mont-
gomery to attend the Alabama An-
nual Conference of the Methodist
Church. He will be accompanied
by Miles Hurlbut as principal lay
delegate and Mrs. Langston as re-
serve delegate.


Very little interest was taken in
Tuesday's election here, a total of
172 ballots being cast, with the fol-
lowing results in regard to the

Gulf county motorists can per-
form a patriotic service by begin-
ning at once their individual roles
in the mileage control program to
save rubber, B. E. Kenney, chair-
man of the Gulf County Rationing
Board, points out, adding:
"There is no need to ,wait untti
November 22, the date when the
program goes into effect. In fact,
motorists can save pounds of rub-
ber by doing voluntarily now what
they will be. required to do after
the mileage rationing program is
instituted."
Anyone with more than five'
tires should dispose of those ex-
cess tires by taking them to the
Railway Express agency.
Anyone who drives his car to
and from work should get a car-
sharing club into operation im-
mediately.
Every motorist should have his
tires inspected to make sure he is
not ruining his tire carcass before
another -tire or recap will be avail-
able to him.
Above all, every driver should.
stay under 35 miles an hour.
In addition to these voluntary
steps, motorists will need to do
specific things to get ready for the
mileage rationing plan and issuing
of gasoline cards. These prelimi-
nary steps are:
1. Get rid of excess tires.
2. Note the serial numbers on
the five tires. you are keeping.
These numbers will. be required
on your application for a mileage
ration.
3. Pick up a ihileage ration
blank from a service station or
garage
4. Fill out the application for a
ration as well as the. tire inspec-
tion record sheet which will be a
part of the application form.

Our Country Right or Wrong

ARMISTICE DAY
It is hard for your editor to write an Arm-
istice Day editorial this year as he looks back
to that gray morning in France 24 years ago
when the bugles blew the "Cease Fire" and
a shout went up from the trenches that was
heard by a world which forgot its weariness
and despair, rivers of blood ceased flowing
and the war was ended.
In the days which followed, many brave
resolutions were made. There was solemn
dedication then to the new program to make
future wars impossible.
Such optimists!
This Armistice Day, guns roar around the
world and our sons are giving their life-blood
even as they did in 1917-18. For them let us
utter a prayer that they all return safely to
the bosoms of their families though we
know from past experience that there will be
many a vacant chair when this holocaust Is
ended.
To our fighting men today we pay tribute,
and also to those that did their duty back
in 1917-18. The tribute is deserving-great
deeds were performed, deeds that required
courage and fortitude and a dogged stick-to-
itiveness. The men who made those efforts
cannot be praised too highly-even as we will
praise the men of today at some future Arm-
istice Day not yet set-the magnitude of their
accomplishments is difficult to realize, but
certainly they were tremendous.
Our tribute next Wednesday to the men
who saw their duty and did it-regardless of
the personal sacrifices it entailed. Many of
those 'men are still around today and many
of them have entered this second war-per-
haps they walk with a slower step and a less
jaunty air-and most of them are a trifle gray
of hair-but otherwise the boys of 1917-18
are alright and they arw. doing everything in
their power in our present battle: for freedom.
They held high the light of freedom once
and in their hearts they still look to
it as their guidance.


Reports that the rubber shortage has been
licked and that "tires for all" will be avail-
able shortly, are false. There is hope that
tires can be furnished for "essential" driving
next year, but that's going to leave a heap of
folks out in the cold. The dope now is t Eat
synthetic rubber tires may be available for
family use sometime in 1944. So rigid con-
servation of rubber by every car driver is
an 'absolute and vital war necessity.

Washington officials are highly pleased
over the outcome of the scrap drive. Now, if
we can end this war shortly we can be as-
suredl of at least 50 years of peace, for it will
take that long to accumulate enough scrap
for another war.


In 1942, coffee has been consumed at the
rate of 12.5 pounds annually. One pound every
five weeks isn't such a drastic reduction.


Keep smiling-a-and buy War Bonds!


167TH BIRTHDAY
Next Tuesday, November 10, fighting ma-
rines (including a number from Gulf county)
from the Solomon Islands to Alaska and Eng-
land, wherever they face the enemy, will pause
for a few moments and recall the origin, his-
tory and fighting traditions that have made
their corps famous throughout its 167 years of
existence.
Organized by the Continental Congress on
November 10, 1775, the United States Marine
Corps is the oldest fighting branch of our na-
tion's armed forces. In every war in which
the United States has 'taken part the Marine
Corps has rendered outstanding service far
exceeding that expected of so few in number.
So next Tuesday we honor the Leathernecks
whose history, tradition and legend is a pic-
turesque log of adventure and service in every
land, every climate and every place "where we
could take a gun," as the line in their famous
hymn states.
Hats off to these men who are carrying the
war to the enemy as they have done for the
past 167 years.

SAVE US OUR WATERMELONS
We can do without gasoline and tires if we
have to; we .don't mind using less sugar; we
can face the prospect of rationing of coffee.
But when Secretary of Agriculture Wickard
suggests that watermelon is a "luxury vege-
table" and may be prohibited, we warn him
he is headed for trouble.
Mr. Wickard wants growing of vegetables
next year concentrated on "necessary" vege-
tables, including carrots, lima beans, snap
beans, onions, green peas, cabbage, tomatoes,
beets and spinach. He thinks it may be neces-
sary to cut down on watermelons, cantaloupes,
cucumbers, cauliflower, eggplant, head let-
tuce, celery, green peppers, asparagus and
artichokes.
Gadsden county and its neighboring coun-
ties are all in favor of the "Food Will Win
the War" campaign and are willing to make
every reasonable sacrifice for it especially
cauliflower. But watermelon-now, that is
something else again. In the first place, are
watermelons vegetables? Webster's diction-
ary is inclined to class then as fruit, though
admitting there is some controversy about it.
In the second place, are watermelons un-
necessary luxuries? We seem to hear a loud,
resounding shout of "No."
How could any pickaninny be raised to
sound maturity without watermelons to
steal? What would Saturday nights in the
melon season be without the luscious red
pulp to eat, with the juice running down over
shirtfronts ?
Please, Secretary Wickard--take our arti-
chokes, take our eggplant, taken even our as-
paragus, but for the sake of morale leave us
that. basic necessity of Southern life, the
watermelon.-Gadsden County Times.

PROLONGING TIRE LIFE
The American Society of Automotive En- c
gineers reports the result of recent experi- h
ments in prolonging the life of tires, a mat- i
ter of moment to every car owner in Port t
'St. Joe and to the country's war necessities.
The tests show that a tire which at 40 miles 1
an hour would have 5000 miles of service left 9
will last for 7000 miles at 30 miles an hour
and for 10,000 at 20 miles an hour. On the 1
other hand, it will last for only 3500 miles at o
50 miles an hour, and for only 2500 at 60 miles d
an hour. 1
As the engineers tersely put it: "Assuming
that you drive your car on a basis of 5000
miles a year, speed alone can determine u
whether you have six months or two years a
of service in your tires."

We don't mind this meat rationing propo-
sition, but you'll sure hear us howl if they
clamp down on the gravy.

would co-operate fully.
The "raid" will continue for a
)eriod of 20 minutes-from 8:30 to
8:50, when the "all-clear" signal
will be sounded---and during that
time a number of "incidents" will
iccur, all being reported to the
control center, where they will be
handled in approved fashion. Such
incidents will continue to be re-
ported until 9:15 or 9:30, just as
though the raid were. an actuality
and people had been injured by
flying bomb fragments, machine-
gunned and trapped 'by falling de-
)ris.
All iii all, this test should go a
ong way as an aid in perfecting.
our defense setup and have a ten-
dency to show up any weak spots
n the organization. It is to be
hoped that more of them will be
held in the future, as such action
will be necessary if the various
inits are to be lept "on their toes"

Caldwell States He Has No
Gubernatorial Aspirations.

In answer 'to a direct inquiry
from a Pensacola newspaper as to
whether or not he entertained any
guberantorial ambitions, former
Congressman Millard F. Caldwell
stated that while the suggestion
"both pleases and tempts," he did
not harbor any political ambi-
tions, preferring to continue the
law practice he is 'building in Tal-
lahassee.
Furthermore, he said he was
not financially able to make an ef-
fective campaign and was doubtful
whether a campaign based' upon
sound issues would have sufficient
public appeal.

Except for four 14-inch naval
guns, ,the First Army of.the-'A'E:F.

single cannon or shell made in-

To Oil


The Motor!


If your refrigerator, washer,
vacuum cleaner, food mixer,
fan or other motor driven ap-
pliance doesn't have a sealed
motor, it needs regular oiling
to keep it running smoothly
and to prevent wear. If it has
been neglected, better check
it now. All such motors should be oiled every
three or four months with a medium
motor oil.


Also Important...;

A little. care will make your
electrical appliances lost a lot
longer.
l a' Keep them clean and in
good order.
You are going to need all
the help electric service can
give you as more of your time is
occupied by the war effort.
Be sure to save your worn out appliance
parts. It will be impossible to purchase new
parts without turning in 'the old ones. This
applies to electric refrigerator fan belts and
rubber door gaskets the same as metal parts.
Today your Electric Service Dealer is pre-
pared to give you good service let him
check your electrical appliances now.

AWS OBSERVERS


Those observers on the AWS
observation tower who have been
dodging their late evening and,
early morning' shifts with the alibi
that it is too, cold will have to
think up a new one now, for Wed-
nesday an oil heater, prov-ded by
the St. Joe Paper company, was
placed in the tower room.
The main trouble now probably
will be to get the spotters to come
out of their cozy nest occasionally
to glance around the horizon.
Chief Observer W. S. Smith re-
ports that a number of observers'
names on these. shifts have been
removed' from' the roll, due to their
failure to put in an appearance,
and that 'the following shifts are
now open:
Sunday midnight to 2 a. m.
'Monday 2 to 4 and 8 to 10 a. m.
Tuesday 4 to 6 and 6 to 8 a. m.
Wednesday 2 to 4 and 4 to 6 a.m.
Midnight Wednesday to 2 a. m.
Thursday 4 to 6 and 8 to 10 a. m.
Friday 2 to 4 a. m., 4 to 6 a. m.
If those who have had these
shifts will talk a bit with their con-
science, we feel that they will get
in touch with the chief observer
and reinstate themselves.
