Paralysis Fund

Is Raised Here

Residents of Gulf County Donate
Dimes and Dollars to
National Drive

Residents of Gulif county con-
tributed their dimes and dollars
to the national fund to fight in-
fantile paralysis during the past
two weeks to the amount of $95,
according to J. E. Bounds, county
chairman of the annual drive. Of
this amount $70 was realized from

Number Have Checked In Since
First List Was Published
On January 15

On January 15 The Star carried
a list of 30 men listed as delin-
quent by the Gulf county selective
service board. Since that time a
number of those men have con-
tacted the board and' complied
with their obligations,.
The board yesterday, issued the
names of the following men who
are delinquent:
White John Cowart, Henry B.
Hicks, Clyde Eugene Miles.
Colored-Johnie Henderson, Roy
Cummings, King David Hewitt,
Alexander MoNair, Jerome Whitt-
ington Major, Square Oliver, Wil-
liam Henry Butler, Robert Kincey,
James Davis, Allen Turner, Al-
bert Leon Delks.
It is the belief of state headquar-
ters -of the selective service that
enough time has been given to
delinquents to comply with their
obligations and for this reason the
time has come for vigorous action
against these offenders and their
names will be turned over to U. S.
attorneys for apprehension andl
prosecution.

314,500 TREE SEEDLINGS
ARE SET OUT IN COUNTY

,Since organized forestry work
started in Florida, over 26 Gulf
county landowners hive set out
314,000 seedlings, according to
Unit Forester Hk A. Har.d These
pine seedlings, mostly the slash
variety of fast-growing pines, were
secured from the Florida Forest
and Park Service. In 14 years, af-
ter a small beginning in 1929, over
5000 planting co-operators have set t
out more than 45,000,000 seedling
pines throughout Florida.
Usually the young pines are set
eight by eight feet, :eight by ten
feet or ten 'by ten feet apart. Land- b
owners have had the best-results i
when the seedlings were properly I
planted in December or January. f

Will Be Allowed

Stores Will Not Close Before Ra-
tioning But Some Commod-l
ties Will Be Frozen

A total of five can's of foodstuffs
will be the maximum each person
may possess without penalty when
rationing of canned goods begins
on the first of March. It was
stated in The Star last week, on
supposedly definite. information,
that the limit might be eight to
ten cans,, but the OPA, after the
paper had been mailed, announced
the. five-can limit definitely.
Individuals' having m6re than
five cans apiece when the ration-
ing books are issued will be pen-
alized by the loss of an 8-point
stamp for each excess can. Home
canned good's, canned baby foods
and cans containing less than 8
ounces each will not be counted in
the total.
The public will get the new ra-
tion books at registration places
by displaying the No. 1 books
now used to secure sugar and cof-
fee. Each can purchased under the
rationing program will have a
point value. A can of peas, for ex-
ample, might and a can of corn seven points.
The following foods, constitute,
ing more than 200 grocery items,
will be rationed when the program
begins:
Canned Fruits, vegetables, all
soups, juices, baby foods.
Bottled Juices, soup-. Cyiur'
chili sauce. '
Dried-Fruits.
In Jars-Fruits and vegetables,
soups, juices.
,Meat will be rationed, later In
the program.
Under the program a consumer
will be permitted to shop In any
grocery store. He may buy expen-
sive or inexpensive brands of food
but the number of items he may
buy will be limited. If he buys
high point-value items he will get
'ewer cans than if he buys low
point-value items. He will have to
earn to budget his ration points
as well as his money.
It has been rumored about Port
St. Joe that all grocery stores will
be closed for a week prior to the
start of rationing, but such is not
he case. OPA states that only
oods announced as covered by
he rationing program will be
rozen from midnight February 20
o March 1. Registration will be
conducted during the six days
rom February 22 to 28.
Some concern has been ex-
pressed .here over the possibility
f canned milk, which is used to a.
*reat extent for children, being
rozen during that period. This
will not occur. Canned milk,
anned milk formulae and canned
prepared cereals will not be ra-
ioned at the start of the pro-
ram. The baby foods which will
e included are the processed
aby foods that are made or
trained or chopped fruits', vege-
ables or meats, or combinations
f these, put up in sealed glass or
n containers.

NAMED DELEGATES
At a meeting held Tuesday eve-
ing at the Port Inn, Mrs. J. L.
harit was named as a delegate
'om Gulf county to serve on the
[iddle Gulf Camp and Hospital
service Council. Mrs. Charles Mor-
an of Wewahitchka was named

Our Country Right or Wrong

LIE, IF YOU WILL
Under the new point rationing plan which
will become effective next month and which
is designed to treat rich and poor alike, the
only people who can get more than their fair
share are those who are prepared to lie about


the amount of the supplies they have on hand.
Undoubtedly there are going to be some
such people in Gulf county, even though they
are faced with stiff penalties if they are
caught; but we believe that such hoarders
will constitute but a small part of our pce-
pie. Common sense and patriotism will guide
the majority toward observance of the law. I
Our housewives are going to be put to a,
severe test. Perhaps her pantry has well-
stocked shelves. She hasn't thought of this
in the past as hoarding, but as foresight, and
it is going to hurt to have to declare the
goods and then have stamps deducted from
her ration book. She will be sorely tempted
to argue that others are hoarding and she
will accept as truth every exaggerated rumor
to that effect.
WVe urge every housewife in Gulf county
who reads this to bear in mind that if her
point of view is held by every other house-
wife, the rationing plan here will be handl- I
capped and somebody will go without .
So when you declare your canned goods,
don't lie about what you have. Remember,
you are entitled to only five cans per person.

Keep smiling-and buy War Bonds!

stated that few people realized
the many sided. problems that
arose from time to time and that
he. had, sincerely tried during his
incumbency to give deep and care-
ful study to all phases of city gov-
ernment.
Mr. Bounds further pointed out
that a number of persons, firms
and corporations had expressed! a
.desire to ifu'rnish or endow several
of the. rooms in the city hospital.
He asked the club to give prompt
gad careful consideration to the
.advisaility of its furnishing and
endowing, if possible, a ward for
the under-privileged children oi
Gulf county. This being one ol
\ K4ianis chief aims, he reiterated
that the club could do no finer
thing, both from the standpoint or
publicity and from the innate feel-
ing of satisfaction of duty well-
performed.
At the close of Mr. Bounds'
talk, which received well-meritea
applause, unsolicited but generous
contributions to start such a move
as suggested were made by Mayor
Sharit, Capt. Ben Dickens and
Commissioner Conklin.

OCCASIONALLY, I wake up in
the morning with a Headache.
It sometimes wears off along the
middle of the forenoon, but I don't
want to wait that long, so I drink a
glass of sparkling-ALKA-SELTZER.
In just a- little while I am feeling a
lot better.
Sometimes the week's ironing tires
me and makes me sore and stiff.
Then it's ALKA SELTZER to the
rescue-a tablet or two and a little
rest makes me feel more like finish-
ing the job.
And when I eat "not wisely but
too well," ALKA-SELTZER relieves
the Acid Indigestion that so often
follows.
Yes, Alka-Seltzer brightens my
day. It brings relief from so many
of my discomforts, that I always
keep it handy.
Why don't you get a package of
ALKA-SELTZER at your drug store
today?

SIGN OF THE TIMES
-The sweet young miss in "Mrs.
Miniver" asks in one of its early
scenes: "Is this a time to lose
one's sense of humor?" and, ot
course, the audience felt like an-
swering back: "No, it isn't. This
is the time to hang on to it."
That's the way a grocery store
owner must have felt recently
when he, put the following sign in
his. window: "Boy wanted-over
50."

TO OUR FRIENDS

A newspaper's best source of
news is its friends and
now with restrictions on driving,
a shortage of competent help
and other factors brought on by
the war, your editor is unable
to circulate about town the way
he would like to, and so he is
appealing to his friends-sub-
scribers or non-subscribers-to
turn in by phone or otherwise
every bit of news they know or
-even if it's your mother-in-law
paying you a visit. Ana
when we head this article "To
Our Friends" we believe we are
referring to every individual ;nr
Port St. Joe and Gulf county.
