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.

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. Note to Go race tracks in ation, why no sion for the taxpayers a n \ Faces are e reply more explicitly at this time but trust you will find this action satisfactory for your purposes. May I say that the war depart- ment welcomes your interest and that of the Port St. Joe Star in this tribute to Captain Gray and will certainly give every possible consideration bo your 'suggestion. .Sincerely yours, JOHN W. MARTYN I Administrative Asst. I' W. M. Howell: "Okay, but you'll have to show your ration card." Safest Place In the World "Aren't you afraid your creditors will see you eating in this expen- sive grill?" "It's the safest place. They can't afford to come here." Poor Fit Veteran: "Pull yourself together fellow; don't you know you are wearing Uncle Sam's uniform-?" Rookie: "Say, that must be it; I knew it wasn't made for me." How a girl can bat pickles and. ice cream at the same time is be- yond the understanding of mere man.
