IJAW NPl ?i WADS-- TOPTHA THE STAR SThe Home Newspaper of Northwest Florida's 'Future Industrial Center FC W P~RFDID r"'1 VOLUME VI PORT ST. JOE, GULF COUNTY,* FL6RIDA, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 1942 NUMBER 8 Senior Class To Present Minstrel Show December 4 "Lazy .Moon Minstrels" Said to Be Funniest and Most Enjoyable Minstrel Ever Written The most popular minstrel show to play the boards during the past two seasons, is "The Lazy Moon Minstrels," to be presented next Friday evening, December 4, at the high school auditorium by the senior class of Pont St. Joe high school. This show is made up of a gang of merrymakers, who are getting ready to present Port St. Joe with ,the laughingest, cleanest, most en- joyable minstrel ever written. :Good' plays for amateurs are hard to find, and that is why the seniors snapped up "The Lazy Moon Minstrels." The outstanding feature of this minstrel is its cleanness. The fun is wholesome ,and entertaining, and. those who view it will not -only laugh out- wardly, but inwardly as well. SMammy, Pappy and the, whole !plantation are, welcoming 'home their "chillun," who. have become famous radio entertainers "up north" and are on their way to a big Miami hotel. They rehearse their tuneful show right there in the cabin yard., under the lazy southern moon, and follow it up ".with a hilarious -blackface farce that's a knockout. ,The cait numbers about.thirty ; - which includes Pappy and 'Mammy's eleven offspring, plantation own- ,ers and the swing band, which :comes from "up north" with the "chillun." Lack of space prevents telling of the many surprises that lay in store for you when you see this riot of laughs. Just get your tickets now. at Miller's drug store 'and come prepared for one of the most enjoyable evenings you have ever spent. Promoted To Technical Sergeant Sgt. Lucious Allen, stationed at Langley Field, Va., has been pro- moted to technical sergeant. 1IIInIIIlllllllillllllllllllllllllllllillllllllilllllllllllllllllllllil Who Is Youngest War Mother? Just out of curiosity and no.t to start a controversy, The Star would like to know who is the youngest war mother.in Port St. Joe and in Gulf county. As far as we know right now, Mrs. .Sammy Davis, age 36, is, tops on the list, having a son, :Carlysle Matthews, 19, in train- ing at Tyndall Field. If there is a mother younger than this who has a son in the service, we would 'like to know about it. And while we're on this sub- ject, we might mention that Mrs. James Marea, in the grand- mother class, has three grane-. sons in Uncle Sam's service- Ralph H. Whelan, a radio oper- ator with the merchant marine somewhere in the combat zone; James H. Whelan, a paratrooper stationed at Camp Blanding, ana Glenn P. Whelan, at the U. S. . Navy 'Great Lakes. Training Cen- ter., The mother of these three .young men, Mrs. J, 0. Whelan, * is working at the Frankfort ar- .senal at Philadelphia. lIHIIIIIIIIIINtlHIIIIIIllIIHIIIillHInIlIIHIl HIIItHilmIlllHI Over the Top by New Year's Is the Plea of Secretary Morgenthat As of today twenty-one million American workers are investing eight per cent of their salary every pay day in United States War Savings Bonds. This is a very remarkable tribute to our armed forces who are fighting this war. But this job is only two-thirds accomplished. There are nine million additional American workers who are not investing in War Bonds every pay day. This appeal is directed to two groups of Americans: First the twenty-one million people who are investing eight per cent of. their wages. We ask them to increase theirinvestment to ten per cent .or more. Second the other nine million whom we ask to join the Payroll Savings Plan and to invest ten per cent or more of their earnings. It is our earnest hope here at the Treasury Department that by New Year's Day thirty million Americans will be investing ten per cent or more of their wages in War Bonds through the Payroll Savings Plan. rtTaY Or m TMrIASURY Guadalcanal Airport Aerial view of valuable Solomon Island airport, captured by U.

Yet a "Digest of War Regulations" received byp The Star Monday says: "Change from 4 to 3-gallon value for 'A' stamps applies only east of the Apalachi- cola river." So, do we get four gallons or three here in Port St. Joe?

Our Country Right or Wrong CARS ARE ESSENTIAL With gasoline rationing going into effect ii Port St. Joe next week we are grateful to note that since Mr. Jeffers became "rubber czar" that a significant change has taken place in the approach to the tire problem. For a time it looked as though we ordinary motorists would have to wear what tires we had down to the rim. But Mr. Jeffers doesn't try to kid us into believing that all but a comparatively few of the nation's 27,000,000 .automobiles are a luxury and that half of them will be put in storage by the middle of next year. He asserts that they are a grim necessity and that the war effort will be im- paired in direct proportion to the number of cars taken out of service. And how this ad- vice does boost our morale! A lot of us were gloomy and downcast by the thought that we -soon would be without transportation facilities. But now that we have the government's assurance that we will be permitted to buy tires or have old tires recapped for essential operation of our cars, the black clouds roll back, to reveal the silver. lining, and we're all full of hope and joy. Whether the tires we get will be new, used or 'recapped depends upon the amount of driv- ing necessary in our businesses and necessary household pursuits. No tires can be obtained for pleasure driving, and all of us who get tires or recaps must follow certain rules laid down by the government. There's still a long way to go before the rubber problem is solved, but it seems that we're on our way, and th '-loom and con- fusion in everyone's mind is abating. The best remembrance you can send, any boy in the service from Port St. Joe is his home-town paper-The Star. The cost is a trifle in comparison to other gifts (only one dollar; for a year to service men), it will be like a letter from home, and you,don't have to worry about getting it in the mails-we at- tend to that for you. We recently drove to Sumatra and back at exactly 35 miles an hour, and the only ve- hicle going our way that didn't pass us was afn ox-cart occupied by three negroes. The Low Down from Willis Swamp Editor The Star: Old jokes are great-they're hard to beat. Anyway, that's my idlea- and, any idea these days is some.- thing. My' Susie gets tired of 'em, but she don't say much-lets 'em go in -one ear and out the other. We been married quite a spell- she knows how to keep things tranquil. But I switched ohe around the other day, and she picked 'up hei' ears when I said it was about the WAAOS. It 'coifldn't he too 'old, she figgered, because the WAACS are sorta new. They still fumble SOMETHING TO 1iE THANKFUL FOR d .Parents of Portl: St. Joe who have mei in1 military service have something to be thank- ful for that they probably do not fully ap- .. preciate as yet. Our-military forces enjoy the . most technically perfect, the most humane medical care ever c-'.,r.-i' ed The best men from the ranks of medicine are in uniform. This was brought to our mind by an incident that happened recently aboard a battlesh-p "somewhere in the Pacific." An enlisted man was abruptly stricken with acute appendici- tis. After a successful emergency operation in the ship's surgery, he found himself an- tended by his family doctor from his home town. The feeling of confidence and reassur- ance that flowed into the heart of the patient, can well be imagined I Such incidents by repetition will become one of the biggest morale, boosters both on the home front and the military front. A GERMAN BOOMERANG One of the reasons that the Italian troops were captured by the Allies in Egypt is at- tributed to the fact that Rommel took all thie provisions, including the supply of water, with him and his troops when they hot-footed it across the desert in their rout to escape annihilation by the Allies. It's an old custom of the Germans. It will be remembered that when the new battle started, Rommel placed the Italians in front to bear the brunt of the attack, and when the fighting got too hot they left them to perish for the lack of water and food. The Italian people. at home, however, are on the verge of revolt, and the heavy bomb- ings like the Allies have dealt them during the last few weeks hasn't left them in .a very good humor, and now that Germany is send- ing troops to Italy, the press dispatches state the majority of the home people are ready toh quit but that Hitler won't let them.-Florida Advocate. "'You should smile when you pay your taxes," says Uncle Edd Pridgeon, county tax collector. Perhaps he's right, but that would be just about as hard as to whistle while Doc Coe is pulling a tooth. A government transportation official ad- vises men workers not to'give up their seats to women on public conveyances. A woman informs us that many men have anticipated this advice by several months.-Olin Miller, in the Atlanta Journal.

And the second WAAC said: "That was no gentle- man-that was my husband.- "I 'spose you think that's fnnny," sez Susie. "Well," I sez, "there's worse jokes." "Like what?" shb sez. "Well'," I sez, "did you evei see a chunky mama, like some that comes down .here to Willis, Land- in' to fish, decked out in seer- suckers, cut a-la-,sallor?"

Available from Commercial News Providers" KNOW THY CONGRESS By DR. GEORGE S. BENSON President, Harding College Searcy, Arkansas (Editor's Note: Dr. George S. Benson is president of Harding College of Searcy, Arkansas, a co-educational in- stitution noted for having no unem- ployed graduates. Dr. Benson found himself catapulted into the headlines in 1941 when he appeared before the House Ways and Means Committee, and Senate Finance Committee, and offered a concrete plan for cutting non- defense expenditures by two billion dollars:' Self-reliant Harding College students recently hit the headlines when they asked the National Youth Administration to accept the return of funds allotted to them, requesting that the sum be invested in "tools for Mac- Arthur's men.") Are you critical of Congress? I was before going to Washington and having direct experience with va- rious Congressional committees. For years I read the good-natured wise cracks of Will Rogers about Congress. I also read numerous other articles which deliberately criticized Congress. Then I watched the aggressive executive branch of the Government making ever great- er and more detailed demands of Congress, and finally found myself wondering whether Congress was still a capable, independent, repre- sentative law making body. Having a measure of Scotch blood which has always given me consid- erable appreciation for the value of a dollar, I was also disturbed about the huge appropriations, which, rom 1930 to 1940, averaged about $3 billion a year above National in- :ome, and which were creating an unfavorable background for a long hard war, which was evidently be- ore us. Putting all of this together made me wonder if there was not some ruth in statements made by "crack- er-barrel philosophers" to the effect hat Congressmen were only a group if professional politicians, whose chief concern was keeping their obs. In May 1941, I decided to go to Washington and personally request he Ways and Means Committee of he House to reduce extravagant non-defense expenditures of the Gov- ernment about $2 billion. While I new that any private citizen had hat right, I nevertheless started to Washington with grave misgivings. Why should that group of Congress- men be interested in me-an aver- age citizen with only one vote. More- ver, I wanted to talk common ense, straight from the shoulder, nd wondered if that would make hem want to throw me out. IHaving bolstered my courage with a sense f public duty, however, -I faced that ugust body, determined ,to speak my mind and take the consequences. My turn came.toward the close of a long weary day of hearings, -nd I was almost frightened to observe every member of the Committee fol- lowing me closely, and apparently analyzing my every sentence. Hav- ing finished; I stood almost breath- less, awaiting their reaction, and ex- pecting criticism of my suggestions. Then came the most astonishing moment in my life. Not a single question was asked or a single state- ment made for the purpose of con- fusing or embarrassing me. On the contrary, I was thanked for coming, and the testimony was compliment- ed. Sympathetic, intelligent, com- prehensive questions were asked, demonstrating both their genuine ,deep concern in the general welfare of the Nation and their familiarity with economics and National budg- ets. They were thoroughly aware of: the need for greater National econ- omy, and interested in proper steps to achieve it. That one experience completely revolutionized my opinion of Con- gress. Three months later, I appeared before the Senate Finance Commit- tee. Again I was treated with un- surpassed courtesy. My growing ep- teem for Congress was further en- hanced. Still more recently I appeared be- fore a third group-a Senatorial sub- committee. This time one member of the group spent about an hour, apparently trying only to heckle, em- barrass, confuse, or discredit me. His conduct was quite different from that of his colleagues, and I later found that he had. not been, elected at all. He was a recent appointee, who evidently had not yet become familiar with the dignity and honor which customarily characterizes the distinguished body of which he had suddenly become a member. He was the type I had heard so\much about, the rare exception-nod the rule. During this most critical:period in our history, national unity is of ex- treme importance. For the purpose of winning the war and protecting our National interests, it is impera- tive that Congress receive the re- spect and .enjoy the confidence of the public to Which it is justly en- titled, and of which it is proving it- self worthy. In later articles I want to explain why I believe that Congress is the most important of our three branches of Government; why I believe a Congres. sional Committee is the best jury in the world; and why I believe a respect. ed Congress is positively essential to the future of democracy in America. These statements will be proven by first hand factual information.

A battered red cap with a letter on it lay on the bed. And through the bed, as .though it were transparent, Mar- garet saw another bed, smaller, and with high slatted sides. She put the vacuum cleaner away and went down to her desk in the sitting-room. She took the fifteen dollars rent that the new lodger had paid that morning in advance for the room, and added to it, from her purse, three dol- lars and seventy-five cents more.
