13AW~O4D T .. TO TopAPTiL THE STAR -,-,03&rpmrvfusots Top7PA TI/A The Home Newspaper of Northwest Florida's Future Industrial Center VOLUME VI PORT ST. JOE, GULF COUNTY, FLORIDA, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 11, 1942 NUMBER 10 Share the Meat Program Is Now Underway Here Needs of Armed Forces and Allies Must Be Met By Curtailment At Home Women of Gulf county, meeting in the school .auditorium here last week, learned about the "share the meat" campaign from various. county workers, including Mrs. J. A. Whitfield, home demonstration agent; Mrs. Eula Pridgeon and Miss Stephens, home economic in- structors, .and, Mrs. John Griffin, nutrition chairman of the county. It was explained that the needs of the armed forces and thp allied nations for 'meat must be met *by reduced civilian consumption, which is called for immediately on a voluntary basis, and will be fol- lowed by rationing some time 'af- ter the first of the year. Meats involved in the request for voluntary reduced consump- tion 'are beef, veal, lamb, mutton and; pork, including canned meats and sausage made from these meats. *Citizens are asked to base their voluntary weekly use of these types of meat on the '- allowing schedule: Adults and children over 12 years of age, '2V2 pounds; .children. 6 ,to .12 years, old, 1/2 pounds; -i ctIg'lden-. under 6 years, % pound; infants under 6 months, none. Poultry, fish and the va- riety meats (liver, heart, kidney, etc.) need not be counted. Every home will be contacted to inform housewives of the plan. Chairmen were named for the vari- ous sections as follows: Port St. Joe, .Mrs. Horace Soule; Highland View, Mrs. Paul Brigman; Ken- ney's Mill, Mrs. Basil E. Kenney; Oak Grove, Mrs. George Patton. These key chairmen will be as- sisted by a group of workers in contacting everyone in their area. The meat curtailment drive in Gulf county is expected to result in a large increase in local con- sumption of food fish produced -here. 4J SIGNAL CORPS CREW LOOKS OVER AWS POST Leave Sufficient Arm Bands To Provide For All Observers With the taking over of this area Monday by the Third Fighter ,Command, a group of Signal Corps men from Mobile, Ala., consisting of Lieut. J. E. Moshier, Pfc. E. W. Eiper and Pfc. C. Grogan, in- spected the AWS post here and expressed approval at the manner in which it is being conducted. Upon being informed that there were 82 observers signed up, Lieut. Moshier said. that most posts in the area 'he had inspected had 'from four to perhaps 20 observers. Incidentally, Liefit. Moshier left 50 arm bands, 85 buttons and 80 plane identification charts with ,Chief Observer W. S. Smith, and those who have not yet received their arm bands are asked to call for them. Every observer is also asked to call for'an AWS button. W. 0.

Disclosing more details of the meat rationing program scheduled for early next year, the OPA this week explained some phases of the, "point rationing system" which has been developed particularly for handling such commodities.

Hamburger ................. 1 Porterhouse ................. 8 Lamb Chops ................ 3 Round Steak ................ Bacon ....................... 5 This illustration is strictly hypo- thetical, because the big question which officials haven't settled yet is the point values to be assigned different kinds of meat. The points represent the figures on the cou- pons.-An A-1 or an S-1 is good for one point, a B-5 or a T-5 is good for five points, and so on. Two C-2's can be used' for a four-point purchase. From this point on, you budget *your points just like your money, except that it will be your points rather than your money that will be rationed. You might have a ra- tion of 48 meat points for Febru- ary. If you spend all your coupons on porterhouse, well, you spend them all on porterhouse and that's that. If your taste runs to ham- burger you get more of it for your ,coupons. The government has printed 160,- 000,000 of these new "ration money" books, so that everyone can. have ,one. While meat is expected to be the first commodity rationed with ity other things may be allotted with the same book. For instance, all the red coupons could be used for meat, leaving all the blue cou- pons for perhaps clothing, al- though OPA does not contemplate clothing rationing at present. ,Generally the point values will be figures on available supplies rather than on intrinsic values. In some cases OPA might juggle the points from month to month, to in- fluence the public to choose more plentiful things by making those items "cheap" in points. In the :oase of mneat, for instance, steaks might be made very "expensive" in points to get people to eat more plentiful roasts-if that were the case-or pork might be made more expensive than beef,' or vice versa. However, you'll still have to pay real money, of course,,as well asi coupons. --K Time To Learn .Girl Friend: "Did you ever sell brushes?" ,i . Caller: "No. Why?" G.

Simpson predicts that the 1942 legislature will not have to provide additional UUNIINUUUb @UPPLi "' rnuusmi Months before the treachery of Pearl Harbor, our men who plan the distribution and transmission of electric power worked out a "grid" system of interconnecting 'the power lines of this company with those of other electric utilities oper- ating in this state and the South- "east. More than $800,000 were spent by this company in building substations, improving generating stations, and building the necessary interconnecting lines which assures every part of our territory va con- tinuous supply of electric power. Yes, there is an ample supply of electric energy to turn the wheels of industry and to furnish light and power for military bases and all other war needs. WAR ASSIGNMENT A recent example of,how this com- pony was able to save money, time and critical materials for the gov- ernment, was the building of 50 miles of high tension lines to fur- nish power and light to an impor- tant branch of our armed services. This was a rush job and, despite many obstacles, construction was completed ahead of schedule. Even though we had a high priority num- ber for materials on this job, our engineers saved a substantial amount of critical materials by tearing down 18 miles of transmis- sion lines on one part of our prop- erties and used them in this con- struction. The erecting of these lines eliminated the necessity of building a new generating station, which would have required months longer. Every member of our or- ganization takes pardonable pride in .the prompt and efficient com- pletion of this war assignment. taxes unless present conditions and prospects are radically changed. "I say this in spite of the fact that some people predict a need for as much as $10,000,000 in new money," he said. Like most everything else, fyel oil, copper wire and other essential materials used by this company have gone up in price. (For ex- ample, we now pay 34% more for fuel oil than a year ago.) The cost. of electricity, along with other pub- lic utility services, has 'not been increased to domestic consumers, -' and there is no scarcity of modern electric service. The two outstand- ing advantages of your present electric rate are, your family budget need not be enlarged for the use of your electrical servants such as refrigerators, washing machines, water heaters and other appliances, and the cost of the war, which you as a taxpayer are helping to pay, is held down. t YEAR 'ROUND SALVAGE CAMPAIGN Nearly 300,000 pounds of steel, iron, copper, etc., have been turned into military uses. Every member of this organization is a "one-man salvage warden," and we are grate- ful to have been cited for doing an outstanding job in saving critical! materials for war uses. No effort is spared to salvage every bit of rubber, iron, steel, copper, etc., to be turned into the "National Scrap Pie." TRANSPORTATION Saving gasoline and rubber is.noth- ing new to you or to us, but it is something that all of us must do for the duration. During the post twelve month hs, company-owned cars were driven 264,318 LESS miles than'in the preceding twelve months without any impairment of essential services to our customers. This record was made in spite of the fact that We have been doing urgently needed construction work, and 70% of oti of our automotive equipment is the heavy duty type. PAGE THREE There have been sharp de- more for public schools, to offset creases in many tax revenues, but declines in gasoline taxes and au. there have been proportionately tomobile license taxes. sharp upturns in others, particu- "As I see it now, we will need larly beverage taxes, which may no additional taxes during the 1948 supply as much as $4,000,000 or session," he stated. More than 20% of our male erh. ployees are doing the biggest jobs of their careers fighting with the Armed Forces, and the number is growing each day. We are proud of these men who have been loaned to do a mighty important job. Many of the men and women employees of the company are helping in the :-Civilian Defense program and other . war activities, and every one of us. is pledged to save and conserve , wherever we can. Of course, we are buying bonds and backing up those who are on the battle lines CUSTOMER SERVICE While the extension of new lines fori domestic users was curtailed many months ago, your electric company is following a well-designed custo- mer service program to aid all con- sumers in the case of their present electrical appliances. Our Home Service representatives are aiding housewives in the planning of well-balanced meals and helping to maintain the highest degree of ef- ficiency of their appliances thus enabling them to devote more time toward activities brought about by the war. IN WAR AS IN PEACE Helping you receive the most from your electric service is our constant aim. Every employee of this comrn- pony feels the responsibility we have, as a war industry, in main- taining the highest type service to all those engaged in the war effort. To those in the armed forces, and to you, who are fighting on the home front, we renew our pledge of "Service to Customer, Community and Country," and we welcome your suggestions for the continued improvement of this service.

Our Country Right or Wrong A YEAR OF WAR This week marks one year that the United States has been at war and, as in the last war, this nation apparently is the deciding factor .as to whether the democracies or the fascist .nations come out on top of the heap. Our country has been converted into one .huge manufacturing concern and we are to- day producing more of the sin,ews of wvar than the combined axis powers. Since Janu- ary 1 of this year we have produced in excess ,of 49,000 planes of all types, 32,000 tanks, 17,000 anti-aircraft guns and some 780 mer- 'chant vessels amounting to 8,200,000 tons. This production and our huge army, navy aid air force is slowly turning the tide. We mray soon see an invasion of Europe from ,three points-one using Sicily, Sardinia and 'Corsica for stepping stones to Italy, the sec- ond ;on the French west coast, probably at the Bay Of Biscay, 'and the third into south- ern France, perhaps 'at Marseilles. When this happens-, the Italian will depose 3Ilij s liii and stie for peace, and the. German .hordes will be driven back into their own *couht'ry. But we inmay expect to see Schickel- grtdber, in oie last desperate push, launch a drive into Turkey via the Dardanelles and thence into 'Syria 'and 'ndto the 'island of Cy- prus in an attempt to gain control of the eastern end of the Mediterranean. How long this iiiight take, no one can say -it might be within one year, or it might run on .for three or four years-brit the otit- come is certain, and when the Nazi war rha- chine is completely subjiigated the combined forces of the United Nations will then turn to the messy job of cleaning the Japarats out 'of the southwest Pacific. We don't ordinarily go in for long-range predictions of this sort, but a close study of the manner in which events are shaping up, ,combined with similar circumstances in the last war, has brought on this sudden surge ,of secondsight. If you think we're wrong cor- rectf us. If not, cut this out and paste it in 'your hat for future reference. There have been some doubters around Port St. Joe who scoffed at the idea of turn- ing in an empty toothpaste or shaving cream , tube when making a new 'purchase, saying that it was ridiculous and served no good pur- pose. Well, here's their answer: 'In the first, six months that the order was effective, 1,168,000 pounds of metal from the tubes has been turned over to the Tin Salvage Insti- tute. From this, 513,920 pounds of tin can' be recovered and 260,000 pounds already have been furnished war industries. Hitler used to say, "It was a great vic- tory." Then he said, "It will be a great vic- tory."' Now he mutters "The victory will be ours-I hope." One thing about this war-saving time-a lot of us who never saw a sunrise in our lives are beginning to appreciate their beauty. And tlian sunrises and sunsets in Port St. Joe, 'there are none more supersquendacious. BE CONSIDERATE We notice lately in the stores of Port St. Joe that the service isn't what it used to be. In days gone by customers 'were waited upon about as soon as they entered the door, but now a long wait is sometimes necessary be- fore we can be served. And a lot of us be- come impatient, maybe pound on the counter to attract attention, or turn and walk our. We should remember that practically all our business houses have lost men to the armed services and many clerks, both men and women, have accepted jobs at the paper mill with shorter hours and better pay. This necessitates putting on new employes, if they are available, and chances are that these are inexperienced and require time to become ef- ficient. And, too, our merchants are not able to get all the necessary merchandise to meet your wants satisfactorily. So, if you are not waited on as promptly as you believe you should be when doing your shopping, remember these facts and be pa- tient and considerate. COULD BE In a radio reply to- Winston Churchill's speech warning Italy to get out of the war -or else, Benito Mussolini, alias Benny the Mug, alleged supreme dictator of.the Italian nation, was reported to have "coughed fre- quently and breathed heavily." The distracted, disillusioned and deflated Duce is said to be ailing. Some accounts have it that he has stomach ulcers and that to fur- ther complicate matters he has a leaky valve or two in his heart. Still-that doesn't explain the coughing.: Could it be that Benny has a case of double pneumonia, too-we hope!-'Miami Post. WHY NOT GRAY FIELD? Major Kevan, stated Monday evening that a name was wanted for the Apalachicola air field, and that it must be that of some TFlor- ida airman who -has given his life for his country on foreign 'soil. We believe we have the answer to that in the name "Gray Field," in memory of Capt. Joe Henry Gray, 23-year-old son of Mr.,and Mrs. Joe H. Gray of Tallahassee, and nephew of Secretary of -State Bob Gray, who was killed in action recently in an air raid over Europe. NAZI VERSION Enemy propaganda. When the Of- fice of War Information cleared the mails of 239 useless government publications (for which the editor of The Star and all other editors are eternally gra-teful), the OGetmah-i controlled radio announced 'in Paris that the 'OWI director had decided to "suppress 239 - great United 'States newspapers"I Too bad about Doris Duke Cromwell.

WOMAN'S CLUB CHRISTMAS PARTY TO BE SILVER TEA The American home' and fine arts departments of the Port St. Joe Woman's club are entertaining the club members and friends with a Christmas party on December 18 at the Centennial building. The party will take the .form of a sli- ver tea, and. the money will go to a war relief fund to be divided among China, Russia and' Greek relief funds.
