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.

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.

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.

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.

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.


A woman purchasing a War Bond told the
clerk: "I've been saving this money to divorce
my husband, but I can stand him better than
I can Hitler."-Milton Gazette.

and fidgit around in their new uni-

It seems', I sez, that a couple
WAACS were talking' as they went
down the street, and one WAAL
said to t'other: "Dearie, who was
that gentleman I saw you with
down town?" And the second
WAAC said: "That was no gentle-

"I 'spose you think that's fnnny,"

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.

Margaret turned off the hum-
ming vacuum cleaner, and
straightened the slipcovers of the
armchair and the daybed that she
had pushed up to go over the rug.
Then she stood quite still in the
doorway and looked at the small
bedroom with its southern expos-
ure. It was as neat and imperson-
al as a pin. It might never have
been lived in. The door stood
open on the clean,, bare closet.
There was not a pennant, not a
team picture, not even so much
as an old Arith-
'1VSEe7 mdtic book left
to show whose
room it had
once been.
___" "g,^ Margaret
stared at the
walls, the 'furni-
ture, anddeeply,
slowly, she real-
ized that no
matter what
lodgers with their own trinkets
and pictures might occupy it, she
would always see it ,the old way.
It was the old way that she saw it
now. A pair of hard-worn gray
ants lay on the floor where they
ad been dropped. Three base-
ball bats were stacked with a fish-
ing rod in the corner. 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.
Then she drew out a sheet of pa-
per and began to write. on it,
slowly, gravely.
"To buy a bond to help train a
aoung man to replace Don, Jr.-
illed on June 6th in the Battle
of Midway."

Tags Will Go On

Sale December 1

Small Sticker for Rear Window
Will Also Be Furnished; Tax
Collector; Now Has Tags

Florida's miniature 1943 automo-
bile license tags and their accom-
panying rear window stickers
adopted to save about 100 tons of
metal for war. industries, will go
on sale next. Tuesday, December
1, and' Uncle Edd Pridgeon, Gulf
county tax collector now has the
"minnies" at his' office.
Streamlined for war economy,
the tags are a far cry from what
motorists, have been accustomed
to receiving for their money,. The
metal tabs measure 11/2 inches
deep and 2t2 inches wide-just
enough metal to cover the "42" on
the current lags-and the number
"43" is yellow on a blue bacit-
ground. Also stamped on it is the
.license number of the tag to which
it will be attached, as every car
will have the same number it now
has.
,The sticlKer is round, about
three inches in diameter and is to
be placed on the rear window or
the car. It bears the state seal
and, the name of the motor vehicle
commission in yellow on a red
background.
'Those getting Florida license
plates for the first time will re-
ceive 1942 tags along with the
1943 cover' tab and the sticker.
