Birthday Ball

Is Scheduled for

Tomorrow Eve

Annual Event to Raise Funds
To Fight Polio Being Spon-
sored By Kiwanis-Pilots

All details for Gulf county's par-
ticipation in the annual fund-rais-
ing celebration of the president's
birthday, the 'event which higa-
lights the nationwide fight on po-
liomyelitis infantile paralysis -
have been completed, according to
J. E. Bounds, county chairman.
The birthday ball; each year the
outstanding social event of the lo-
cal season, will bei held in the Cen-
tennial auditorium, as in past
years. The event is being spon-
sored by the Port St. Joe Kiwanis
and Pilot clubs and .from the num-
ber of tickets already sold it
promises to be a gala affair,.
Music for the occasion will be
provided by Private Baaba and
His Baa-bies from Tyndall Field.
This orchestra has played in Port
St. 4oe before and their syncopated
rhythm has drawn high praise.
Reservations for the few available
tables in the auditorium are now
being accepted and cost 25 cents
per person. Dance tickets will be
$1.50 per couple for civilians and
$1' for servicemen.
-The "March of Dimes" is well
underway and everyone should
contribute liberally, .or all funds
raised are divided' between the na-
tional foundation and the local or-
ganizatlon. The national- founda-
tion's portion of the money is used
to pay for scientific investigation
'into the causes and prevention of
the dread disease, while the local
fund is a backlog to help in caring
for any cases that may develop in
Gulf county.
.Do your bit by contributing to
the "March of Dimes" and, by pur-
chasing one or more tickets to the.
birthday ball.

Housewives to

Be Penalized

For Extra Food

OPA Reported ,Planning List of
Penalties-for Hoarders; Ten
Cans Per Person Limit

W. S. Smith. newly-appointed.
community service member of the
Gulf county rationing board, states
that the OPA Is planning "point"
penalties for housewives who have
been hoarding canned goods in an-
ticipation of the rationing program
which is expected to start about
March 1.
All' persons will be allowed to
have on hand a specified quantity
of" canned goods, probably 10 cans
per person-although this may be
cut down to -eight or" nine-with-
out. suffering a penalty. All over
that amount will call for the tear-
ing out"of coupons for the number
in excess of the legal limit-at the
rate of one 8-poinl coupon fox
every' can. Cans containing less
than 8 ounces will not be counted,
although both size and, contents
will count when making rationed
purchases.
The application of penalties for
excess supplies will be the task of
the school teachers and other vol-
unteers who will register the pub-
lic for food rationing within the
next three or four weeks'.

Replacement of

Lost Reveinue Up

To Legislature

Simpson Says Essential Operations
Of Goverfiment Must Be
Kept Going

,-Repla-cemaeat .of-revftue- lost as-
a result of wartime conditions will
be, a matter for first consideration
by the legislature when the ses-
sion opens next April in Tallahas-
see, Richard' H. Simpson, speaker
of the 'house, declares.
"It' is not time for the legisla-
ture to go into any long-range
improvement program," he said.
"This session will have to find the
money to keep the essential oper-
ations of government going for the,
next two' years.
"If the war is over then, the
next legisalture can discuss long-
range improvements."
sible economy in connection with
the coming session, Simpson has
openly expressed his approval of
a 30-day program if practical, but
few members feel that such a
short session is. possible, though
Representatives West of Santa
Rosa andi Troxler of Marion have
advanced suggestions as to how
the shortened session might be
accomplished.


The representative will be at
the postoffice in Wewahitchka the
following day, February 4.

YOU CAN DRIVE TO TOWN ON
BUSINESS AND ATTEND SHOW
A lot of people have given up
'attending the picture show since
the recent OPA "no pleasure driv-
ing" order, but the. head of the. At-
lanta OPA district in a recent rul-
ing gives most of us a break in
this respect. He said that car own-
ers can drive to town on business
and remain parked and. attend a
theater before returning home. He
can also bring as many passengers
as he wishes without violating
any rules.
Most of us are fast learning how
to combine business and pleasure,
and we can attend a hsow while in
town on business provided we
don't make an extra trip for our
pleasure.

Our Country' Right or Wrong

TIME TO HELP
With appointment this week of the editor
of The Star as community service member of
the Gulf county war price and rationing board
Ye Ed went around and talked casually with
a number of merchants, inquiring particu-
larly as to how they were making out in se-
curing merchandise and what they thought of
the new point system of rationing certain
varieties of foods and meats.
Well, we came to the conclusion that if
Port St. Joe is a cross-section of the nation
as a whole, retailers have never before faced
such problems as they do today. Securing
goods, from what we learned, requires expert
knowledge, foresight and an understanding ot
laws and regulations heretofore unheard of in
this country.
As regards the matter of price ceilings, all
merchants contacted seemed to be "getting
by" with some sort of system, but whether
or not they-were complying exactly with gov-
ernment regulations none of them were sure,
ffot .uninm a grocery or merchandise store
has become' a complicated problem. And fail-
ure to comply with all rules carries a penalty
of $10,000 fine or 10 years in jail, or both.
And here's a request that the merchants of
Port St. Joe make to all consumers: Between
now and the time full war rationing takes et-
fect, probably late next month or by March
1, don't hoard. They ask this because they
are co-operating with the government to the
utmost to avoid disruption of consumer sup-
plies. They can't sell something they haven't
got, and that would be the case if a lot ot
people try to stock up on various items. Lend-
lease and military demands have made deep
inroads on supplies of all kinds, and it is up
to us consumers to co-operate in dividing
what's left.
Don't hoard-its' just the same as holding
up your neighbor with a gun, because if you
take more than your share, he'll get none.

WHOM WE SERVE
Any who feel the urge to rush to the gro-
cery store for a swine's share of the canned
goods there will be interested in knowing
whose advice they are following.
"Stock up on all canned goods you can lay
your hands on," advised the Berlin radio re-
cently, speaking in excellent English to un
Americans. "Stock up in larder and cellar be-
fore it is too late."
Thereby, of course, being of help to Hitler.


The Low Down
from
Willis Swamp


Editor Bill, The Star:
You won't read much 'except
about what this country needs.
I been researchin' and you know,
where there's one thing we need,
we already have two things, we
don't need.
"Name a couple," says Henry,
my next-door neighbor (he only
lives seven miles down river.)


THERE'S A .DIFFERENCE
Captain Eddie .Rickenbacker, after return-
ing from his gruelling experience in the South
Seas and his inspection of fighting fronts, is
the only -man who,has said what the Ameri-
can people needed to hear in connection with
production problems. In the newspapers and
in the news reels he said that if the soldiers
could be transferred from the hell-holes they
occupy on the battlefronts, to our factories,
and if the employes in the factories could be
transferred to the battlefronts, production in
this country would double in 30 days.
By the tone of his voice and his e'xpres-
sion, you could see that he was disgustec
with the Pollyanna talk about workers at
home being classed as filling "battle stations.'
He emphasized that nothing the people in
this country can do will in any measure equal
what the men on the battle lines are doing.
They don't get overtime pay, and they work
day and night if necessary.
We agree with Captain Rickenbacker. Just
because some of us wear "tin hats" at home,
we don't want to become swelled up with the
idea that we are filling "battle stations"-
we are not. Battle stations (and your editor
knows from past experience) are where, the
bullets fly and men are dying; where men
work as long as there is something to do;
where orders are obeyed; where overtime
pay and profits are not an issue-and where
the "perpetuation of liberty and freedom for
the individual are the guiding stars.

WAR TAKES VIRGIN TIMBER
War requires many sacrifices and the ma-
jority of people make them without protest.
Still it is sad to see one of the last tracts oi
virgin pine in Florida falling under the ax to
feed the machines of war.
Loggers have invaded St. Vincent's Island,
game and fish paradise, located near Ap-
alachicola, on which stands 40,000,000 feet of
virgin forest. The trees, unlike most of the
other virgin stands in Florida, have neveo
been tapped. Deer, wild animals, wild turkey
and birds, so taine they have no fear of ma:-.
abound. The island is privately owned by the
estate of the late Dr. R. V. Pierce, who
stocked it with game from all parts of the
world.
They made it their home and multiplied
tremenodusly. But war has made it necessary
to take that home from them. A lumber com-
pany has a contract to cut half the timber on
the land. The contract permits unrestricted
timbering, but the company has volunteered
to co-operate with the Florida Forest and
Park Service to cut with an eye to conser-
vation.
Still, it is sad to see a great tree fall.-The
Gadsden County Times. l


Some folks are worried about not being
able to buy two-pants sits. Others are wor-

"Alright," I says, "how about

New Vitamin Combination Brings Hope
to Childless Homes
Nothing equals a baby to bring com-
plete unity and happiness into the home

Unhappy wives, childless due to relieve.
able functional weakness may now enjoy

_-onfderful creation-a normal, fully-de-
veloped, vigorous woman. A sensational
new vitamin treatment specifically for
women may be just the thing needed by
the childless wife and quickly bring the
happiness of a baby in the home. It is,
of course, absolutely harmless.
If you are childless due to functional
weakness and lack normal vigor-if you
wish to eliminate one of the great causes
of unhappy marriages, by all means try
Perlex for one week. To introduce this
new vitamin combination to a million
women .quickly, the Perlex Company,
