W NEW 'POINT' SYSTEM RATIONING OPERATES your table. s Take breakfast cereals, for ex- ample. Suppose they were to be rationed. Then the point system would 'be used. Examples of simi- lar or related cereals are oatmeal, cornflakes, branflakes, grits, .etc., any one of which qan be substi- tuted for the other i, :your ,diet.I L- 'et us, -say "there '.Is- an abunr dance of oatmeal; ,a fair supply of branflakes and only a compara- tively small supply of cornflakes. These are all related cereals and would be grouped and, rationed to- gether under the point system. IBut, because oatmeal is plenti- ful, Tt might have a value of only one point. There is a fairly large supply of branflakes, and they might have a .value of two points. But there is a small supply of cornflakes, 'so they might be al- lotted a value of three, four or five points. In short, the government will give to the rationed commodity which is most plentiful a low point-value and to the rationed commodity which is much scarcer than usual a high point-value. Same Coupons .Used The same coupons will be used to buy any of these commodities, and every person will be entitle, to use a specified number of points each month out of his new war rtio bnk. of blue stamps and four pages of red stamps. Each page contains 24 stamps, lettered and numbered. Each color will be used for a dif- ferent, point rationing program. The- letters run from A to Z and the numbers are either 8, 5, 2 or 1. Now for : another illustration. Suppose, that a. group, of similar or related-items is- -beig-'ratiaoled and there are five different com- .modities in the group. The point- values assigned would be, perhaps, like this: Item 1, one point; item 2, two points; item 3,.four points; item 4, eight points, and item 5, 11 points. This, of course, indi- cates that item 1 is plentifai, item 2 is a bit less plentiful than usual; item 3 is considerably more scarce than usual; item 4 is very scarce, and. item 5 is almost unavailable. ,Suppose, further, -that each in- dividual's share of the commodi- ties in this group is set at 4 points for a month and that the government designated, the blue stamps in the new ration books' to be used for these commodities. i A, Band C Stamps 1 The stamps you would use in purchasing the commodities in the above group would be the blue ones, and for the first month you would use tite A, B and C blue stamps.

S. De- partment of Justice on February 1, according to information from !selective service headquarters, and this will include a number of men in Gulf county who, have failed to put in an appearance when called, The action will be directed against men "believed to be de- linquent by reason of failure to keep in touch with their local Sboards'fas required," according to the announcement. The number ft estimated at less than three- tenths of 1 per cent of all' regis- trants as compared with 4.5 per I cent between 1917 and 1918. Beginning February 1, all men in the 18 to 45 age groups wh* for six mon.tis or more have been subject to registration must carry their classification as Well as their registartion cards or risk penal- ties, as great as five years in jail and. a fine of $10,000. Local draft boards have been instructed to mail notices to de- linquent registrants and report to United States district attorneys those who do not comply with their obligations during January, The requirement that the 18-to- 45, registrants-w4o .include many men-daferre4 by .tha recent re? lowering the maximum draft age to 37 years-carry classification cards will enable them to show that they are in communication with their local board and have been classified as to availability for military service. Registrants who do not have 'classification cards, or have lost them, should get in touch immedi- ately with the Gulf county selec- tive service board in the Masonic building and obtain them in order to avoid' charges of delinquency. ------- ---- . FORMER RESIDENT CALLED BY DEATH Clifford Malcolmn McLean, a former resident of this city, died in Thomasville, Ga., on Wednesday of last week from pneumonia con- tracted following an operation. Funeral services were held De- cember 31 in the. Georgia city, con- ducted by Rev. Jack Anderson of Tallahassee and Rev. E. F. Quar- terman of Quincy. Interment was in the Green Shade cemetery. Mr. McLean was born in Que- bec, Canada, and came to Port St. Joe soon after the Parkwood Lum- ber company located' here and held an important position at the mill until it closed down. While here he married Elizabeth Cumbie of Greensboro, Fla., and to this union one daughter was born. Deceased is survived by his aged father and mother and one sister, residents of Vermont; and his widow and daughter, Elizabeth, of Tallahassee. Mr. McLean was well-known and respected by resident of this city and his passing brings heartaches to many people who will always revere his memory.

A lot of us may howl that this isn't much meat, but when we stop and consider the amount allowed in lands across the seas it still represents a "feast." ' In England the meat ration is 31 ounces a week, with no unrestricted meats to be had (we still have available fish, poultry and the so-called "variety" meats to choose from). In Germany the meat ration is 12% ounces. Cities' in what formerly was unoccupied France lhad a ration of 8.8 ounces, while in the country the figure was 6.3 ounces. The Italian people get from 31/ to 5/2 ounces, with 1'/ ounces of sausage. The Moscow ra- tion of 8.8 ounces is typical of Russian cities. Norway's official figure is 7.1 ounces, with the citizens, of that country actually fortun- ate to get half that. The. Dutch think them- selves lucky if their share in any week reaches a third'of the posted 10.6 ounces. The Belgians get 4.9 ounces, the Swedes 5%, ana the Bulgarians 7.1. 'Think of this'when buying meat'.'arid 'limit yourself to 35. ounces per person per week, for as yet.meat rationing is purely voluntary and probably will remain so as long as we all try to do our part. But if we do not observe this rationing voluntarily it will lead to com- pulsory meat rationing. Don't buy more than your share of meat, for when' you do you are cheating someone else out of their share, for the meat supply to given areas is, limited to a certain percent- age of consumption in that area in the early part. of 1941, and those eating more than 35 ounces will be taking that much from others in the district who will not get their share. * We should be thankful that cutting our- selves to something over two pounds of meat a week of certain meats, with no limit on the rest, is but a small sacrifice in this war of at- trition when we think that our soldiers are sacrificing their lives that we may be allowed to eat meat at all. Keep smiling-and buy War Bonds! THIS NEW .'POINT-MONEY' Some time early next month we're all go- ing to have a new sort of money to play with, aidu upon how we use it will depend whether or not we continue to buy many items that we might feel the need of. Buying under the "point" rationing sys- tem amounts to buying with two kinds of money, and careful account must be kept of the point-money so that it will last for the entire rationing period, for once the stamps for the ration period are used up, no more of the rationed items can be purchased until the start of the next ration period. For instance, we 'might be allowed 50 points for the pur- chase of meat for one month; sirloin steaks might have a value of 10 points per pound and hamburger a value of 1 point per pound; you have an insatiable craving for sirloin, 'so the first two weeks you buy four and a half pounds of sirloin steak at a cost of 45 of your points; this leaves you but 5 points for the remaining two weeks, and perforce yoti must subsist on 5 pounds of hamburger for that period, even though you detest the vile" concoction. You probably have plenty of money t6 buy meat, but you've run out of points. And that is the big difference between buying in points and buying with money- when you run out of money you can borrow, but when you run out of points, you're through buying! FUTURE LIVING POCKET TO MOUTH? We're all acquainted with the expression "living hand to mouth," but from the looks of things, in future this may be changed to "living from pocket to mouth." This silly little thought popped into our mind the other day when reading an article on the dehydration and compression of food- stuffs to be sent to our expeditionary units overseas. For instance, several sacks of that old reilable standby, the lowly, spud,, can .be dehydrated and compressed into a brick no bigger than a, shoebox, yet, ,hen crumbled in, hot water and mixed, will make mashed po- tatoes for 100 soldiers. Probably when the war is over we can buy compressed quantities of this and that Sand carry enough in our pockets to provide food for a couple of weeks-thus if it became necessary we could live from pocket to mouth. SWORD INTO PLOWSHARE Many a sedentary worker, many a city and town dweller is now experiencing for the first time the satisfying sensations of a rugged, active outdoor life in the army; the keen appetite, hardened muscles, deep sleep, steady nerves-the feeling of profound physi- cal well-being often sacrificed in civilization ,to the complicated necessities and luxuries of peace the confinement and indoor routine that these things demand of so many. When peace gives the "As you were, men !" to millions now under arms, many thousands of them will be inclined to say, "Not if I know it, old-timer!"-N. Y. Herald-Tribune. BRING YOUR. FATS I GREASE HERE WE'LL SLIP IT TO THE AXIS f RENDERED ay, re yu ehng yo thumb with the fat you're selling me?" sy GEORGE S. BENSON PresidentXr-ari'ng college Searcy, A'kansas "When the officials of a nation are virtuous the people follow their ex- ample," said' Confucius two dozen - centuries ago, and, he was right.This ancient Oriental was often right. His high moral philosophy has influ- enced more people and done it long- er than any other code. All Chi- nese who can read still study his sage writings. Due undoubtedly to the wisdom .of Confucius, China is .the only ancient country left today with an ancient civilization. Here in modern America we are hardly able to sense the full signifi- cance of the proverb quoted above, because most of our officials have been "virtuous." We criticize rulers freely, but not one h'igh-banded ty- rant ever ruled the United States, and only an occasional officialturns out to be a scalawag. The demo- cratic system safeguards citizens with authority divided among rul- 'ers; with a three-department gov- ernment; with representative legis- latures. Who Fights Congress? Covetous enemies, itching to see Democracy "done over" into some form of socialistic set-up, are the natural enemies of everything rep- resentative in government. They fight congress by instinct, with or without cause. Just prior to the congressional election, when there appeared to be some dodging of re- sponsibility for the teen-age draft law, it was not uncommon to hear somebody suggest: "Congress is on- ly in the way. Let's suspend congress for the duration." Well-meaning people get vexed and talk that way sometimes but it classifies them with a bad crowd.

It is re- grettable that the nation did not. realize this situation earlier. Hardirig College is in the middle of the nation's farming section. I was brotight-tp on a farm and now actively manage two farms owned by the college, Working students milk our cows, but i know well that many farmers, unable to get milk hands, have sold their dairy herds for slaughter. Workers Are Scarce Last Spring acres of strawberries rotted in the fields in Arkansas for lack of pickers. Our students took. a., day off, salvaged, enough "free" ber- ries. to make 700 gallons of jam, more than one winter's 'supply. .. Last fall we had good cotton in the .field'as-the ra-iny-seasorr-approached, , and nd pickers were available. Again the students made a picnic of it, picked four bales of cotton in, a few hours, pooled their.wages, bought a war bond and gave it to the college endowment fund. .I In addition to safeguarding the na- tion's food supply, deferring farmer boys has two secondary advantages: (1) Young men now on the farm are ready to go into 100 per cent produc- tion of food without further training. They are trained already. (2) Young men left on the farm when the war is over will be exactly where 'they can serve best, with no post-war ad- justment to make. Stay Put, and Work Perhaps the wisest piece of coun- sel offered the American public in recent weeks was voiced in a radio program by Dr. Alfred P. Haake of Detroit. His suggestion in this emer- gency, to every man not eligible for the armed forces, is this: "Stay where you are. Work at what you are doing. Increase your output per hour and work more hours a day;'do all you can, not to hurt your effi- ciency." It is a common sense suggestion. The 'actual cost of the war is work. Congress is leaving the genuine farm boys where they can work like vet- erans and where a 70-hour week is not unknown. From considerable experience with congressmen I have learned that they can be trusted to act wisely when they have the facts, and most of them have first hand information about agriculture. A survey which I made recently in- dicates that more than 50 per cent come from towns of 25,000 or smaller. The rustic background of its members is one of my reasons for placing so much confidence in the sanity and conservatism of the congress of the United States. Fair Enough As he stepped up to the lone- some lady in the hotel lobby, he inquired: "Are you looking for a particular person?" And' she replied: "I'm satisfied if you are." The reason a lot of people don't recognize opportunity when they, meet is that it usually goes about wearing overalls and looking like hard work. PAGE TWO THE STAR_~PORT ST.

If the commodity you buy is sold by the quart and the point-value of that commodity Is [two points a quart, you must sur- 'render four points if you buy two quarts. You may use your points in any manner you like. But, remember -when all of your allocated points for any one month have been used up, you won't be able to purchase' any of the rationed items until the next month (or ration period) be- gins. So be careful how you spend. You can't "borrow" addi- tional points when yours run out. When you buy commodities ra- tioned undor the point system you must actually learn to buy with two currencies-moneyl and point- stamps. You must know not only the money price of the items you wish, but also their point values.. You pay both in cash and' in stamps. When stamps are gone, money is useless in buying point- rationed items. Lists will 'be posted in all stores showing at how many points each rationed' item is valued, and news- papers will carry lists of point values and will announce changes in them. How" About the Grocer? Now what about the grocer? How will this system affect him? He, too, must learn to shop with two kinds of currency. He must retain all of the stamps he takes from the ration books and must turn them in on his purchases of supplies. He must pay for his ad- ditional stocks not only in dollars and' cents, but also ina ration stamps--the stamps he has col- lected from his customers. Grocers* for the most part, will turn in the stamps they receive from customers to their banks, just as they deposit their money. When they purchase new supplies from their- wholesalers they will write not one but two checks- one for the. cash value of the items " M& AM"s I Foqp STORES JeffersoL 'l Island 10 SALT, 1 lb., 3 Boxes.... 1i 5c EACH Ann Page PURE CIDER VINEGAR Quart 12- Laundry Soalp OCTAGON, 3 Ig barsIt) Calumet Toilet Soap BAKING POWDER, 1 lb 2 Palmolive, bath size 1V Sunnyfield Large Size 23 BAKING SODA, 1 lb. .....
