Our Country 7 Right or Wrong

NEW YEAR'S DAY
Men have never known toward what the
world was moving, despite their statements
that it was going in this or that or the other
direction. No one can foresee what will oc-
cur in the future. The past stands in the path
of the present, holding us back in our eager
desire to reach ahead into new experiences
and new developments. Civilization has not
changed so greatly as we may imagine. The
refinements of luxury do not belong alone to
our modern times. There is hardly any stage
in world history when the same state of
things was not flourishing in the same de-
gree, and even in approximately the same
forms. Human nature does not change, and
in the same degree the manifestations of the
human mind follow primarily the same chan-
nels, though their outward habiliments ap-
pear to be new.
The past, present and future are irrevoc-
ably linked together, and this fact is never
;iore emphasized than on New Year's Day,
as one calendar year becomes history and a
new span of twelhe months' spreads vistas of
expectation ahead.
We speak of growth, of changes for the
better-yet with the same breath we deplore
the deterioration which 'we profess to see
around us. We contradict ourselves in the ut-
most absurdity and then blandlYy refuse to
recognize that we have been slightly ridicu-
lous. We point to the past as representative
of what was finest in intellectual and artistic
endeavor-and then swell with pride because
of the "long way we have come" since one
specific date or another. We talk about the
"great new industrial age when machines
will do all the work" and simultaneously com-
plain of the tragedies and dangers of unem-
ployment and a pattern society.


We do all these thiings-and yet, perhaps
we are not so foolish as we may seem. The
world goes its way in spite of us. Year in and
year out the earth turns in the heavens and
the sun's rays shine down to give us light
and warmth. Nature pays no heed to our fu-
tile protestations at the injustices of human-
ity. The grass continues to grow, the seasons
follow one upon the other and animal and
man reproduce their kind to take the places
of those who have completed their part in
the great cycle of life and death. If we did
not protest a little because things are not
just as we want them, we would not be' hu-
man. Only when we cease the rebellion that
leads to new knowledge and new understand-
ing will civilization die.
We make resolutions on New Year's Day,
most of which we fail to keep. But it is not
that we fail to keep them that is important,
so much as that we felt the urge to make
them. In those resolutions, from the most
trivial to, the 'deeply serious, is exemplified
the spiritual craving inherent in man which
eternally reaches out toward an ideal, nebu-
lous it is true, but none the less powerful.
New Year's Day is not necessarily a time
for merely "washing the slate clean and start-
ing anew. It is a time for, making adjustments
to life as it exists and must be lived. Rather
than the dismissing of the past, it calls for
an intelligent review of events and thoughts,
with a sane and clear-eyed summing up oi
those past influences, their relationship to the
present and a hypothetical promulgation for
the future.
Whether anything works out as expected
or not is of lesser import. In determining the
possibilities, in allocating things in their
proper positions a calmer, more intelligent,
more honest and more sincere attitude can-
not fail to appear. Consciously or uncon-
sciously we will be starting the new year
right.

The Tallahassee Democrat, in a front page
story on food a'fioning,' refers to the food
administrator as "Fool Administrator Claude
R. Wickard." Only time will tell whether he
is a fool or a genius.

A lot of news behind the news these days
seldom gets into print.

Won't be long until we'll all be counting
our "points" instead of our money.

Are you writing it "1943," or is it still the
same old "1942"?

Be Careful!

On farflung battlefronts every
day men risk their lives to dis-
cover the location and strength
of the military units of the
enemy. Yet at home, .too many
of us are presenting the enemy
with information of the same
military value.,
This, is the information which
you are asked not to make avail-
able to the enemy:
Do not tell the names of ships
upon which sailors serve.
Do not tell the troop units in
which soldiers serve overseas.
There is no objection to re-
vealing that Pvt. John Doe is in
Australia or that Seaman Ricln-
ard Roe saw action. in the At-
lantic, but there is military In-
formation which endangers the
lives of American fighting men
in stating that Pvt. John Doe,
Company C, 600th Infantry, is
in Australia. or that Seaman
Richard Roe, aboard the U.S.S.
Wisconsin. is in the Atlantic.
The office of censorship says:
"We ask editors not to publish
these troop identifications, and
we ask parents and relatives not
to reveal them. Don't give the
enemy anything that may length-
en the war!"
iSo keep your lip well buttoned
when you're talking of men In
the service from Gulf county.

What's In a Name?

Not Much In Army

Names May Be Alright, But Serial
Numbers Are of Much
Greater Import

You're in the army now, Mr.
Jones. But . which Mr.
Jones? For there were only 28,-
050 Mr. Jones' in World War 1,
so, who knows how many in this
one? John Jones doesn't help
too much, for there were thou-
sands of Johns, and hundreds of
those Johns had wives named
Mary-which wasn't much of a
help when the war department
tried tracing down a Jones.
If you think there were a lot
of Jones', consider then the
Johnstons, 53.200 strong, 2000 or
whom were named William. And
the Smiths with 51,900, ranking in
second -place, among whom were
3,412 Williams (including the ed-
itor of The Star); the Browns
with 48,000; the Williams', 47,000;
the Andersons, 22,000 the Walkers,
18,500, and the Millers, 2500.
What's in a name?
Not much in the army, records,
if it isn't accompanied by a serial
number. And, the war department
continues to stress the, importance
of remembering those serial num-
bers. When you think of that man
in thei service, thing of his serial
number, too, for without it he
might not get his mail, and you
might not get your allotment.
There are many cases of mix-
ups in allotment and relief checks
due to improper statements, of
names, serial numbers, rank and
addresses, and much time would
be saved individuals and the gov-
ernment-if more care were taken
in these matters.

Edward Eells, who is attending
school in Memphis, Tenn., is
spending the holiday vacation heie,
with his parents,, Mr. and Mrs. B.

Mr. and Mrs. John L. Taylor of

days in Port St. Joe as guests of
