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 the Birthday Ball held at the Cen- tennial 'auditorium last Saturday night and, $25 came from the "March of Dimes" At the Birthday' boxes. Ball a fair-sized County Draft Board Five Containers Has 14 Delinquents Of Canned Foods 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 Through the district office of the p Florida Forest and .Park Service I at Panama City, slash pine, seed- a lings are available and landown- ers interested in planting this sea- S son are urged to place their orders b at once, as the supply is. limited. s Seedlings cost $2.35 per thou- t sand delivered to the nearest ex- f. press office, or $1.75 per thousand t picked up at the nursery at Olus- f tee, Fla.

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 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.

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! PROBLEMS OF CITY IS MAIN TOPIC AT KIWANIS MEETING i, (Continued From Page 1) 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. It Pays to Keep Your Lip Buttoned A wedding carriage was seen driving through the streets ot London recently. Written in chalk on the back were these words:.
