THE STAR Buy War Bonds V Every Pay Day Let's Double vUr rmWuIW-SArc vEULLAvR The Home Newspaper of Northwest Florida's Future Industrial Center Our uota VOLUME VI PORT ST. JOE, GULF COUNTY. FLORIDA, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 1942 NUMBER S .-I 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 amendments: Amendment 1 Amendment 2 Amendment. 3 Amendment 4 Amendment 5 Amendment 6 Amendment 7 Amendment 8 Amendment 9 . . ... .. 118 ........ 87 ........ 82' ......... 86 ........ 1180 . ....... i 98 .. .... .59 ....... 68 Against 23 27. 35 27 38 22 29 59 74 Total unofficial returns for the county were as follows: For Againsi Amendment 1 ........ 261 40 Amendment 2 ........ 192 53 Amendment 3 ........ 181, 713 Amendment 4 ........ 198 49 Amendment 5 ........ 174 60 Amendment 6 ........ 240 55 Amendment 7 ........ 176 63 Amendment 8 ........ 132 130 Amendment 9 ........ 105 188 As all candidates on the ballot were sure of election, the vote be- ing merely complimentary, we do not take the space here to give the totals.

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.

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. t Here's what those V-Home stickers say" 1 "We fight for freedom every day!" b ENEMY BOMBS TO FALL ON PORT 'ST.

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" .nd not allowed to become "rusty" or lack of practice.

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.

MI s N E RVI N E GOOD NEWS FOR OR relief from Functional Ner- GOOD NEWS FOR l Disturbances such as Sleep- ases rnies xiaiiy 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.
