City Is Hopeful

Of Celebrating

Real Yuletide

Christmas Spirit to Be Same De-'
spite Many Wartime
Restrictions

Despite the many wartime .re..
strictions and the fact 'that many
family circles will not be filled,
the people of Port St. Joe arc
hopeful of observing a Merry
Christmas, although not one of
"peace on earth and good, will to-
ward men" this year.
Family circles will be incom-
plete this Christmas, in many ifl-
stances for the first time in years,
not only because sons, fathers and
brothers are on the widle-flung
battlefields' of the world, offering
their lives so 'that we at home
may again observe Christmas as
of "peace on earth and good will
toward men," but also because
many.;iere on the home front will
bp unable to join their families
for the holiday season.
Wartime restriction of gasoline
and rubber, and overloaded trans-
,portation facilities will make it
impossible- for many' to return
to their families from their jobs
away from home, but they will be
with their loved ones in spirit, if
not in person.- I
SThe war also has done away
with the many. b bightiy-lighte.d out-
'dio.pr trees that blossom at this
time of year, ad Well as" the
gaily-lighted store fronts and win-
dows.
However, indoor trees are' per-
missible and our stores are gaily
decorated and brightly lit inside,
adding materially to the Yule
spirit.

Chestnut Held

Without Bail In

Harrell Death

At Preliminary Hearing Held Wed-
nesday Morning Before
Judge Pridgeon

A. S. Chestnut, operator of the
Splendid Cafe in this city, held in
the county jail at Wewahitchka
since Wednesday of last week in
connection with the fatal shooting
of Roy Harrell in Chestnut's room
in the Costin building on Monu-
ment avenue, was given a prelimi-
nary hearing Wednesday morning
before Judge J. E. Pridgeon at the
court house in Wewahitchka and
was bound over, without bail, to
action of the grand jury, which
will convene in February.
Last week Chestnut's initials
were given as "J. R."' when in re-
ality they are A. S. This correc-
-tion is made for the benefit of J.
R. 'Chestnut, who is no relation and
is in no way involved in the af-
fair.

Choice Pecans
The editor of The. Star is in re-
ceipt of 20 pounds of the finest
and largest pecans he has seen in
many years. They came from C. G.
Rish of Wewahitchka, and we ex-
tend our thanks to. Mr. Rish for
the nuts. Our wife has laid out an
astoundingly large pecan loaf cake
on the strength of them.
We arei also indebted to Mr. and
hMrs. Griffin of the Griffin Gro-
cery for a bag of fancy pecans.
Again we say 'thanks. -

Speeders Are to Be

Picked Up By Cops

Driving Over 35 Per Is Now Fed-
eral Offense and Calls for Revo-
cation of Gasoline Books

A lot of people around Port St.
Joe don't realize that the ration-
ing of gasoline is strictly for the
purpose of saving tires, not be-
cause weo!Ihave':' shortage of gos-
oline here, and they.stlll -go fly-
ing down 'the highways at 50 a nd
60 miles an hour. ,
Motorists driving their cars at
more than 35 miles per hour are
subject to arrest, and state patrol-
men are required to give special
federal tickets to violators of the
speed regulation-and two tickets
mean that no gasoline may be is-
sued to the violator for the dui-
ation of the war.
No appeal is possible from this
regulation, and local rationing
board, members must either deny
gasoline to offenders or go to a
federal penitentiary. The mem-
bers of the rationing board, who
serve without pay as a .contribu-
tion to the war effort, have no
other choice in the matter.
So a number of our local motor-
ists should wake ui to the fact
that speeding, which means ex-
cess wear on tires. is now a fed-
eral and not merely a local law

Kiwanis Ladies'

Night Hilarious

Program Presented Brings Many
Laughs and Rib-Tickling

The Ladies' Night program held
by the Kiwanis club Thursday eve-

to have been the best yet given
by the club, and was replete with
laughs -and -good' ciea'n V nteLetaiu-

The program began at the -con-
clusion of a delicious chicken din-
ner served by the new manage-

modernized version of bingo, the
prize-winner being Miss Erline Me-
Clellan, pianist for the club. This
was followed by a demonstration
of mystical powers by Sidi al
Sinkyu, sand reader, in the per-
son of Alex Young, who answered
written questions presented him by
those: present. A word game was
enjoyed with prize going to Mrs.
John Blount, and readings from
"Panodra" boxes, distributed' by
Terry Hinote and Virginia Owens,
preceded the highlight of the pro-
gram.
. This feature, opened by the se-
lection of the five handsomest
men present by C. H. McKnight,
brought the house down with
laughter. The five "victims" were

BROTHER-IN-LAW OF
LOCAL WOMAN MEMBER
OF FAMED AIR SQUAD

Master Sergeant Dayton R. Sulf-
ridge, brother-in-law of Mrs. R. W.
Smith of this city, is one of the
"one out of three" left alive to-
day o( ,the, .famous l th Bombard-
ment Group which is wf~ttnt 'Up.
in the December 7 issue of Time
Magazine under the Army and
Navy heading (pp. 64- 6'5).
When last herd from, Sergeant
jSulfridge was in Australia. He
I left Hickam Field, T. H., for Clark
Field, P. I., in September, 1941,
and was among those who flew to
Java after the surprise attack on
the;e Philippines.
His wife, who came to Port St.
Joe after her evacuation from
Hawaii, has heard through a re-
turning soldier that her husband,
the crew chief of one of the big.
bombers, fired every gun of his
plane in an effort to hold off a
Jap attack and that for a short
time he was successful, at least
insofar as possible. By a miracle
he escaped with his life.
Mrs. Sulfridge, with her three
small children, now lives in Tal-
lahassee, and, she hopes that her
war-weary husband may soon be
back for a rest.
Oolin Kelly, one of .the first
heroes of the war, was a -member
of this group.

notice, but with the majority of
firms closing, we feel sure that
those who were not contacted- will
fall into line. Those agreeing to
close are:
Gulf Hardware and Supply Co.,
Chavers-Fowh'and Furniture Co.,
Zim's Men's Wear, McCoy's Gro-
cery and Groceteria, Miles Five
and Ten-Cent Store, Schneider's

St. Joe Hardware Co. A & P Store,,
Griffin Grocery. and Market, Dafl

We learn from- the Panama City
paper that similar action is to be'
taken there, and an article in yes-
terday's Daily Democrat states
that the stores in Tallahassee are
being contacted on the -three-day
closing proposition.
The majority of merchants here
are planning to keep open until
about midnight Christmas eve to
allow late shoppers to make last-
minute purchases.

Camp Carrabelle

Paper Pokes Fun

At This Section

Writer Discovers There are Sev-
eral Points of Interest In
Vicinity of Camp

Nathan Kaplan, a staff writer on
thee "Cycloner," official publica-
tion of the 38th Division which is
based at Camp Carrabelle, pokes
good-natured fun at Tallahassee
and the surrounding area in an ar-
ticle recently. Kaplan says:
"In spite of a nearly unshaken
first-hand impression that Carra-
belle is next to nothing, a scouting
mission reports there are points of
interest in the vicinity, if you care
to reach' them.
"Possibly the outstanding point
of interest, according to the cham-
ber of commerce, is Wakulla
Springs, some 16 miles this side'
of Tallahassee. Wakulla Springs
is said to be the deepest natural
spring in the world, which is fine
'if you like deep springs. There is
la hotel with beds and a dining
room with food, and you might
even get into the movies if Grant-
land Rice. 20th Century-Fox and
Metor-Goldwyn-Mayer ,are b a c k
shooting some more of Wakulla's
lovely bathing beauties (it says in
the advertisement).

To state that you may not tie
able to sell ramie fiber profitably
in the next 12' months, and there
to assert that you can now raise
ramie profitably, sounds like a
conundrum. But there are profits
to be made in ramie growing in
a addition to 'the profit from the
fiber.
For example, after my Philippine
friend visited me, I put in some
ramie roots. I gave them special
treatment--trace chemicals, vita
min B-l, etc. In 10 months they
yielded me increased value of ap-
proximately 50 to 1-about five
times 'the increase of ramie root
crops in Texas and other southern
states.
Even without any special treat-
ment, they will yield about 10 to
1.
Four facts are now certain:
There is a great war demand, for
ramie. The post-war demand will
increase. Florida is the place for
ramie growing. Ramie ,root crops
can be grown profitably now.
Certainly, keep your feet on -the
ground; but lift your eyes above
the horizon -for the man wno
keeps his eyes on his feet soon
has nothing 'to sell but old shoes.

The Star, mailed each week to men in the armed
services, has been described that way by-some of
"our boys." As a contribution to morale,
The Star has fixed a special reduced subscription
rate of $1.00 a year to men in the Army, Navy
and Marine Corps, wherever they are stationed.
This special rate is made in the face of rapidly
advancing production costs, which may force the
withdrawal of this offer later. Friends
and relatives of service men, desiring to take ad-
vantage of 'this "military" rate, should act now.

Our Country Right or Wrong

WHAT HAS MRS. PETROV GOT THAT
YOU HAVEN'T GOT?
A lot of us have never heard of Mrs. Pet-
rov, citizen of the Soviet Union, but all of
should know her-and a million more Russian
women like her.
When the Nazi panzer divisions approached
the small Petrov farm in the Ukraine, she
knew what to do.
The wheat, so near to harvest time, went
up in flames. The potatoes, stored in the cel-
lar, were soaked with kerosene. The jars of
fruits and preserves were smashed, and the
cow, which had given her children so many
quarts of precious milk, was shot.
After piling her two young children, a few
blankets and some food 'on the farm cart,
Mrs. Petrov-'did one more thing. She went
back to the house where she and her hus-
band had been so happy where they
had worked so hard to make a home for their
family-and applied the torch.
Now, everybody in this country knows
that Americans are as patriotic-as capable
of .sacrifice as -grimly determined to beat
Hitler :asaref the Russians or anybody else
on earth. -
But-by the lord Harry-do we have to
wait till a Nazi tank comes rolling up Monu-
ment avenue before we prove it ?
We aren't being asked to burn our homes
and destroy everything we own. Please God,
we never will be.
But we ARE being asked to join the Pay-
,roll Savings. Plan and put at least 10 per cent
of our earnings into War Bonds. We're being
asked not TOLD to loan money not
GIVE it! And to loan this money at a good
rate of interest and for good reasons! We're
being asked 'to buy War Bonds to help win
the war-to provide a nest-egg for our own
future-to provide peacetime jobs and peace-
time goods and a; generally decent world that
the fellows who are doing the fighting-oui
sons and husbands-can come back to.
That's OUR job. And it's a job that won't
be done until every mother's son of us is buy-
ing bonds until it hurts.
There are, right now in Port St. Joe, still
people who ought to be buying War Bonds,
through the Payroll Savings Plan or other.-
wise-and aren't. And a lot of people in Port
St. Joe are. setting aside MORE than their
10 per cent-whether they can afford it or
not.
Let's change that situation-quick. If you
aren't in the Payroll Savings Plan-sign up
tomorrow. If you're already in, but haven't
yet hit 10 per cent-raise, your sights. And
if you .can put in more-do it. It's to your
advantage-it's providing for YOUR future.
What's Mrs. Petrov got that' we haven't?
Nothing! Let's prove it!

WORD FROM OVER' THERE
The army says lots of soldiers forget to fill
out "safe arrival" cards in the rush of being
sent overseas. When this happens, the folks
back home may not hear from them for sev-
eral months which doesn't mean that any-
thing has happened to the soldier. In fact,
no news is good news just now.


WHY NO CHRISTMAS ADVERTISING
Present indications point to the fact that
production of civilian goods in 1943 will be
slashed to the bottom. Only essential items
will be manufactured in all lines of civilian
goods, including clothing, shoes, hardware,
furniture, drugs and cosmetics. When present
stocks of luxury goods are exhausted, no
more will appear on the shelves. Plenty ol
working clothes will be manufactured, but
no frills or finery.
That is the reason why there is none of the
usual Christmas advertising in The Star this
Yuletide. The editor could have gone to thel
h(,al merchants and sold them the usual
Christmas ads, and they would have taken
them because they have always taken them
in the past. But he didn't because he feels
that the average merchant wants and intends
to stay in business during this war period-
if he sells all his goods,, his shelves will )e
bare and he won't be .able to stock up on
the majority, of items, thereby being com-
pelled to close his doors. If the merchant
goes out of business, The Star loses a valued
customer-if too many merchants are com-
pelled to go out of business, The Star will
also go out of business. Q.E.D.-'Keep the
merchants in business and The Star continues
in business.
Purely personal? Yes, and no.. The pub-
lisher of The Star naturally wants to remain
in business, but he also feels, and rightly so,
that The Star is doing much more for the city
of Port St. Joe than it receives in return, for
a town without a newspaper is a dead place,
indeed.
We haven't yet begun to feel the pinch of
war, we in Port St. Joe, but next year, and
tlhe year after, and probably the year after
that, will open our eyes.

LET'S BE OUR AGE
Only a very small child could be so fatuous
as to suppose he could eat his cake and have
his cake, too. We're supposed to get over
such infant illusions wheii he grow up. We're
supposed to. Do we all?
Well, here we are all set to win the war.
The worst thing that could happen to us
would be to fall into the clutches of the to-
talitarians as have miserable France, Polanod,
Norway and the rest. No, we'd die first. But
would, we give up our free-wheeling first?
Some of the comments heard as gas ration-
ing, a vital measure for the winning of the
war, takes hold, cause doubt.
"The greatest mistake the president ever
made, this gas rationing;" says a nice old gen-
telman, 60 years beyond the boy with the
dwindling cake. A mistake if it helps win the
war? The war be hanged if it costs me. my
auto ride? He didn't mean that. He meant

ey GEORGE S. BENSON
President-z7aradntyfollefe
Searcy, Arkansas

Noble American wives are willing
to see their husbands drafted to fight
Japs for freedom, bayonet to bayo-
net, in fever-infested jungles. But
what wife is willing to chance her
husband's life so some other able-
bodied man can grab a government
job that's useless and fat? Not one!
. Married men will be called to
arms by 'hundreds in the next two
months, by thousands if a new le-
gion of draft-age men are added to
government bureaus. It will surely
happen, too, unless the American
people do something about it.
Look at these facts: General
Lewis B. Hershey, director of se-
lective service (no less) said. recent-
ly that 100,000 married men were
needed to fill November's draft quo-
ta. It is estimated also that delay
in passing the teen-age draft law
would bring 200,000 more 'married
men into the service in December.
Already there are 2,700,000 civilians
on Uncle Sam's pay-roll, and new
bureaus are being organized con-
tinually, making thousands of Wash-
ington jobs foi men of draft age.
How Bureaus Grow
One example will be ;enough to
show how government bureaus mul-
tiply. Early in 1942 a manufacturer
with a war contract got caught pay-
ing his secretary $30,000 a year. The
nation was outraged, and an indig-
nant congress devised a remedy in
haste. It authorized the Army, Navy
and Maritime Commission each to
set up a bureau to correct such
abuses. Powers delegated to these
bureaus are many and monstrous;
like Frankenstein, only triplets.
These bureaus can make their
own rules and enforce them arbi-
trarily. They can change the terms
of contracts already made. They
can allow one company more profit
than another, both doing the same
work. They can not speed the war
effort. Already they have each a
central board and are busy setting
up branches in various cities, out-
fitted with lawyers, auditors and
technical advisors a plenty.
Costly in Man-Power
The purpose of all this organiza-
tion is called "renegotiation," mean-
ing to figure all war contracts over
again and change them if they show
too much profit for anybody. It is
going to take a lot of help. The
Navy had only 1,000 men at such
work on July 1, 1941; a year later
4,000 and the Navy has only 10 per
cant of the estimated three million
contracts to be renegotiated.
You might ask: "Don't you be-
lieve in eliminating excessive profits
from war contracts?" I most cer-
tainly do! I want every dollar of
boodle wrung out of them in a way
that will not consume the energies
of thousands of menwho might bet-


ter be doing something to h-elp winf
the war. President Roosevelt, in
his famous September 7th address,
told us how. He said "Recapture ,
through taxation all war profits not,
necessary to maintain sufficient war
production." And the President's
plan will work.
Excessive Profits Rare
It is a known fact that the Excess
Profits Tax already in force drains
90 per cent of excessive profits out
of war contracts. But these new,
boards pay no attention to that.
They re-figure all contracts. Here
is a fair example: If a farmer had
turned 90 acres of a 100-acre tract
with a gang-plow and found ten'
acres of odd patches unbroken, he
might resort to smaller tools, but.
he would not hire men to spade the
whole 100 acres.
The President's plan to recapture
excessive war profits would not
squander man-power because it
would utilize the Bureau of Internal
Revenue instead of organizing three
'new bureaus, one each in the Army,
the Navy and the Maritime Commis-
sion. Congressman Wesley E. Dis-
ney, who long has been a leader in
seeking to eliminate waste in gov-
ernment, recently tried to amend the
law to conserve man-power, but with
little visible success.
The Disney Plan
The Disney amendment provided
that whenever a firm, working on
government contracts, showed a
profit, after taxes, lower than 2 per
cent of the contract price, such con-
tracts could not be renegotiated. He
said this would get around 95 per
cent of the figuring, and here's why:
There is alr is already a 90 per cent Ex-
cess Profits Tax in force, and hardly
one firm in 20 can pay it and have
2 per cent profit left. For my part,
I believe it would have saved thou-
sands of men and millions of dollars.
But the boards were busy organiz-
ing when Mr. Disney's amendment
was offered; they fought it and
killed it. Now, while married men
take up arms and leave their wives
to run their farms, other men of
like age will be getting soft bureau-
cratic well paid jobs. Urging your
congressman to do something about
it can still help. The Disney amend-
ment would have helped greatly.
This article is being published in
about 1,000 county newspapers. It
is my sincere opinion that congress
pays more attention to readers of
rural papers than to any other
group. Congress recognizes that peo-
ple who live on farms and in small
towns are the sanest, most conserv-
ative and most dependable segment
of the nation. I appeal to rural
America to. make its voice heard to
save man-power.

The stingiest man we ever
heard of bought his bride a dime's
worth of peppermints and; took
her on a trolley-ride honeymoon.
When they got off the car he said,
"Honey, suppose we save the rest
of this candy -for the children."

1.


When Irene got home from the
airplane factory she was good
and tired. This was the hour,
after work and before dinner, that
she always looked forward to.
Her private name for it was "My
sissy hour." Into it, these days,
she packed all the lazy, luxurious
little things she loved-things that
used to take up a lot more than
an hour of her peace-time days.
She sat down at the little desk
in her room. You could tell quite
a lot about Irene from that desk.
The water-glass filled with the
small bouquet of flowers she
sometimes bought* on the way
home. The paper-weight of pink
marble. The thin, crackly blue
air-mail stationery. And the big,
framed photo-
graph of a
young man in a
S corporal's uni-
form-as good-
looking a man
t: 1 ,.v as Irene was
pretty. On the
blotter pad lay the telegram that
had come that morning just as she
was leaving for work. "
With those long, well-shaped fin-
gers she reached for a sheet of
paper. She nibbled the end of her
pen for a bit, and then she wrin-
kled up her nose at the picture
of the soldier and began to write,
"Dear Mr. Morgenthau", but the
corporal's name was Jackson and
she called him Pete. Her round
handwriting spread across .the
page. "My boy friend is with
the A.E.F. in Ireland. He has
cabled me fifty dollars with which
to buy a diamond ring. I've been
thinking it over and decided to
buy a War Bond to help Uncle
Sam instead. This may help to
bring my boy friend home soon-
er, and then he can help me se-
'.act my ring."'
Slowly she began to sign her
name. "Irene ---"
(Letter from an actual commu-
nication in the files of the Treas-
ury Department.)
Let's all sacrifice as Irene has
done. Bring final victory closer
with the money you put into War
Bonds. Make certain your family
budget tops 10 percent by New
Year's. U. S. Treasury Department
