Then came the blue flash two minutes later, meaning that bombers were head* ed for Port St. Joe, and all de- fense workers were contacted and warned' bo be on the alert. This was followed at 8:25 by the red flash and the sounding of the sirens, and whistles. In the control center the staff waited tensely for reports to come in, all ready, to direct the intricate machinery of a serious prepared- ness system. And finally, when the "incidents" began to come over the phone, contact was 'immedf- ately made with res were dispatched to the points designated by the calls. In a few instances a cog or so in the com- plex organization slipped, but all in all the CD groups carried out their various assignments in a smooth and harmonious manner. , "Victims" of gas andi high ex*- polsive bombs were given first aid on the spot, and those more seri- ously "injured" were removed by ambulance to the health center, which was set up as a hospital, where thoe were o treoantdo in an- II I 3 PAETOTESAPR T OGL ONY LRD RDY OEBR1,i4 THE STAR Published Every Friday at Port St. Joe, Fla., by The Star Publishing Company W.

In a great number of ways the war effort in Port St. Joe has bogged down-or perhaps we should say that it never really developed sufficient momentum even to get to the point of bogging down-which is very discouraging to those individuals who have been giving un- stintingly of their time in the various phases of war work which should necessarily be car- ried on. Let us look at the Red Cross sewing room first, which has the rolling of bandages as .the main project. When the room was first opened, a large number of women enthusias-- tically signed up, and the majority of them reported for work regularly-for several days ---and then dropped out, until today there are but perhaps half a dozen doing this most im- portant work. If these women would only realize why they are rolling bandages, maybe they would expend a little effort to speed the work. Those bandages are for cur men in the armed seviees wthoy. are .going to be wounded,. It might be 'any young man from Port St. Joe -your son, your 'neighbor's son, your hus- band, brother, cousin, fiancee or friend-who is going to stop a bullet or receive a bayonet thrust somewhere in the steaming jungles of the Solomon Islands or on the. bleak desert or mountain passes of North Africa. And these wounds will not be pleasant-we know personally. At times they are jagged gashes that bleed profusely and are open doors to infection, particularly if they are no4 attended to immediately. If a fighting man dies because there is no bandage for him, will it be the fault of those women of Port St. Joe who have failed to show up at the Red Cross sewing room? Perhaps. But those who have been working some of them almost every day-can rest at night with an easy conscience and the feeling of a job well done. Now let us take the matter of the AWS observation post in Port St. Joe. Many .signed up for two-hour shifts and a goodly., number are still faithfully putting in their time each week. But a large proportion who volunteered have put in but one, two, or perhaps half a dozen shifts since December 7 last. Many failed to even put in an appear- ance after pledging faithfully to do their bit in this most important phase of the war ef- fort. 'It is very discouraging to the chief ob- server, who has about reached the point where he is thinking of turning the AWS fiasco hb':k to the Indians-in this case, the local defense council. k And our scrap drive. It's been a shame. You and I, and everyone else, knows that there is more scrap material in Port St. Joe than the little dab that has.been turned in to date. There's plenty more to be had if our people would get the lead out of their pants and do a bit of hustling for a change. Sure, most everyone is buying War Bonds, but that requires no effort-merely writing a check or opening of the wallet. It will take more than just the buying of bonds to win this war-it is going to take hard work and sacrifice on ;the part of every one of us to keep the Stars and. Stripes flying over our free land, and the quicker all of us realize this, the quicker the day will come when we can return to our normal way of living. This editorial does not apply to everyone iq Port St. Joe, for all our citizens are not fall- ing down on this matter of war service. A lot of them are carrying more than their share of the load. However, the majority of our people here are laying down on the job. Where the trouble lies, we do not know, but personally, your editor has about given up hope of awakening the citizens to their duty and responsibility during these 'parlous times.. HOW ABOUT THOSE TIRES? Starting Sunday, November 22, gasoline rationing will become effective in Port St. Joe; along with the rest of the nation which to date has been free of this restriction, and as a part of this rubber-saving measure, the government is making a drive to acquire all tires in excess of five per car. This is for our own good in an endeavor to keep essential automobiles moving until syn- thetic rubber plants can turn out enough of their product to keep all cars moving. This sale of tires to the government is purely voluntary. You do not have to turn in your tires in excess of five if you do not want to. BUT-if you don't, the OPA will save your rubber for you by refusing to is- sue you a, gasoline ration book. So, if you are figuring-on Hoarding a tire or two, consider well, for the five tires you keep must be registered, with their serial .f numbers, when you apply for your gas book, and if, when you come up for tire inspection every 60 days, you have a different set of. serial numbers than those set forth in your i ration application, you will be in exceedingly a warm water, t ON KEEPING COOL c Paste this in your memory: The German c submarines sank less than half as much ship- ping in.August in the Gulf of Mexico and on t our east coast as they sank in the. months of July, June and May. The score for August a was 31, for these other months it was, re- - spectively, 68, 78 and 61. t Recall this from your memory: In May, then June, then July, we were in tears over : the submarines. They were sinking our ships with neatness and dispatch. We hopped on l Secretary Frank Knox. Why wasn't he doing something about it? Wesoured on the gov-h ernment. We were losing the Battle of the Atlantic, we mourned; why isn't something done? The subs were sinking our ships faster 9 than new ships could be built. There could be but one end to that: defeat. The eager c critics stewed. But now in August, 31 ships t were sunk and 68 new ships delivered by the shipyards to take their place.-The Atlanta a Journal. A SUCCESSFUL AIR RAID TRYOUT The air raid-blackout practice held in Port St. Joe last Friday night reflects high credit on all the participants. Our civilian defense workers-air raid wardens, auxiliary firemen and police, demolition and repair squads,' first aid groups and all the rest of the varied per- sonnel-proved their alertness and efficiency. Hardly less important was the earnestly co- operative spirit shown by the public. Gerge Snowden, head ,of civilian defense in this area, and his staff are to be congratu- lated on the results. The experience gained in such practices will serve us well in the event of real raids. These new taxes are going to put a damper on a lot of foolish spending. A preview of what is coming is found in the excise tax which went into effect November 1 upping the cost of smokes and drinks. The old five- cent cigar is a six-center now. Bonded whis- key is taxed 25 cents more a pint. FRIDAY'S 'AIR RAID' SHOWS EFFICIENCY OF DEFENSE SETUP (Continued From Page 1) .irst aiders, at times spotted up with mercurochrome to simulate blood, splinted if necessary, and carefully handled when being re- moved to the dressing stations. A member of one first aid squad asked for the "victim's" name, and the reply, canDA: "Don't ask me, can't you se I'mn unconscious." One call came into the control center to -un tLe ,.motor repair ;raew to the high school building where a truck had broken down. The truck happened to be that ot he St. Joe Hardware company as- igned to the demolition squad, and when the repair crew drove ap and began. swarming over the ruck to "fix" fE, Horace Soule in- isted that there wasn't a thins vrong with it. Finally, afer the repair crew kept insisting that it /as out of commission, it finally awnedd on Horace that this was i11 a part of the practice-and was his face red! At 8:50 the "white flash" came through, which was the signal for woundingg the "all clear," that the aiders had passed, and that peo- ple could again come out into the open. "Incidents," however, con- inued' to be handled through the control center, just as ift it were he aftermath of a real raid. The test was indeed successful, nd if bombs had fallen, Port St. oe. was ready to take it. SELECTEES LEAVE FOR BLENDING (Continued6 From Page 1) drew Owens, Mrs. Floy Scheffer, Mrs. E.
