Federal Grant of $19,500 for Fin

Than Matched Locally

With the contribution of $450
last week by a large local concern
toward the city's share of the $37,
500 deemed necessary for comply
tion of the long-delayed munic
pal hospital here; the total amoun
raised by contributions, is, noT
$19,500, with an estimated $3000
yet to come in from a number o
citizens and civic organization.
who have agreed to subscribe $151
each toward the furnishing of.hos
pital rooms. The Federal Works
Agency had already made an out
right grant of $19,500 to be made
avyalable as soon as the cit)
-raised it's portion of the. fund'.
The only holdup on the project
now is the securing of priorities
on necessary, material and equip'
ment. As soon as these are as,
sured the architects will advertise
for bids for completion of the hos-
pital.
At request of donors, names of
firms and indviduaie- making con-
*tributions are being wIthhetd un-
til all are in. It is anticipated that
the list wilt be published within
the next week or two.
With completion of the project,

STO GET AUTO TAGS

We imagine a lot of motorists
. have been putting -off the purchase
of their new 1943 auto tag-that
little bit pf metal that costs so
*much-debating whether it's,'worth
'the cost when the amount of gaso-
line available for driving is taken
into consideration.
But regardless of these factors,
if they contemplate doing any
driving after' today, they'd better
get that '43 tab and sticker.

Our Country '- -,-' Right or Wrong

OUR MOST EXPENSIVE CONGRESS
Now that the 78th congress is underway,
we can look back at the 77th congress which,
like Longfellow's Arabs, folded its tent and
silently stole away, leaving behind it the
largest public debt and the most sweeping
laws that have qver been known to demo-
cratic government.
Legislation of the 77th congress pivoted
mainly around the participation of this nation
in the war, involved taxation and appropria-
tions, included the declarations of war on
Bulgaria, Hungary and Rumania and widened
further the president's emergency and war
powers.
The total direct appropriations by both the
first and second sessions of the congress In
round figures amounted to $188,686,000,000
(including amounts to be repaid by. the post-
office department and 'District of Columbia
government), plus contract authorizations ot
$20,857,000,000, and brought the financial
commitments of the congress to $209,543,-
000,000,- according to a compilation just made
by the budget bureau.
Legislation affecting agriculture,' business,
foreign relations, housing, labor, shipping,
money, neutrality, price control, prosecution
of the war, public debt, the railroads, taxa-
tion, veterans, war. damage and war powers
was approved during the session.
Already we are beginning to face the teeth
of many of these war emergency laws which
are biting into our food, our incomes, the
prices we pay, the distances we ride in our
cars, and the liberties we have fought to
maintain.
We are not complaining. These things are
necessary in war times. But we urge every-
one to renew their interest in our represen-
tation in congress and follow closely the op-
eratioii of these emergency laws that have
been enacted, so that .these mesaures may
rule over our lives during this emergency only
and not remain to plague us after their u3e-
fulness has passed.


Keep smiling-and buy War Bonds!


LETTERS
TO THE EDITOR


-The following copy of a letter
was received from U. S. iSenator
Charles 0. Andrews this week and
is in reference to an editorial pub-
lished several weeks ago in The
Star:
WAR DEPARTMENT
Washington D. C.
Hon. Charles '0. Andrews
United iStates Senate.
Dear Senator Andrews-It is a
pleasure to acknowledge receipt
of your letter 'of December 28 ana
the enclosed .editorial from the
Port St. Joe Star, suggesting the
naming of the airfield at Apaalchi-
cola, Fla., in honor of the late
Captain Joe Henry Gray.
I. greatly appreciate your en-
dorsement of this suggestion and
have placed it in the hands of ap-
propriate military authorities for
consideration when the installation
is named. Unfortunately I cannot


THE VICTORY TAX
A lot of people hold the belief that the
Victory Tax which has just gone into effect
is a discriminatory levy against those work-
ing for salaries or wages-in fact your ed-
itor held that opinion until he studied the
bill closely.. /
The payroll deduction is applied to those
receiving their stipends at regular intervals
because that is the most practical manner for
the government to get the money and for the
people to pay it. But the tax will be taken
from all others earning more than $624 a
year. Physicians, dentists, lawyers, architects,
insurance men, publishers of weekly newspa.,
pers, other professional men and storekeep-
ers and others whose earnings are irregular
must pay their Victory Tax in 1944, filing a
special blank with their regular income tax
at that time.
So you wage-earners who have been ex-
pressing your opinion on the matter from
mild expostulation to apoplectic rage can
calm down. After all, you pay it weekly, bi-
monthly or monthly and it. doesn't hurt so
bad in those small driblets, while we business
men will have to pay it all in one chunk.'

HOW YOU CAN HELP
Rationing will soon be put into effect inu
Port St. Joe and we the suggesting the fol-
lowing things our readers can do to help the
rationing program:
Use your ration book correctly. Trying to
beat the ration is trying to cheat your neigh-
bors and your nation.
Buy no more than your actually need, when
you need it. It is much better to keep your
coupons as long as possible by planning your
needs and looking ahead a little.
If you needless of a commodity than you
are entitled to, don't stock up on it just "be-
cause you have the rationing coupons.
Learn to make scarce goods go further and
last longer (a number of manufacturers are
publishing advertisements i'nd booklets that'
show you how).


Arms production .records set by American
manufacturers in the past year are: 49,000
planes, 32,000 tanks, 17,000 anti-aircraft gun-
and 8,000,000 tons of merchant ships. These
figures are spectacular. They prove that In-
itiative inspired by freedom packs a punch!


Congratulations to the Punta Gorda Her-
ald on its fiftieth anniversary. The pub-
lishers should be proud of 50 years of the
kind of service that only a newspaper can
render a community.

consideration bo your 'suggestion.

S.. and how's YOUR sense of balance?


* It looks like a carnival concession
or an inventor's nightmare.
But it's a balancing chair, used to test
Army Air Corps candidates.
/
* Only a few Americans will ever
try the balancing chair-i-but
every one of us is having our sense of
balance tested by war. It's a test
of our ability to do our daily job,
buy bonds, pay taxes, donate
blood, spot planes, serve in Civilian
Defense-and still keep an
even keel. It's a test of individuals
-and industries.

* We're rather proud of the
way our industry-the electric \ ..
power companies under business
management-has met its greatest
test. In the face of
shortages in many fields, power
production has been stepped
up to take care of
all war plants nid all essential civilian needs!

* Service is _.'" good, rates
still low. The average American home still gets
tn'.:e as nz.ch electricity for its money
as it did about 15 years ago.

o These are the accomplishments of experienced men and
well-balanced management under public
regulation-the system that made America great.
