JOE, GULF COUNTY FLORIDA, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 12, 1943 NUMBER 19 Mobile X-Ray Unit Coming to Gulf County Approximately 400 Persons Can Be X-Rayed Each Day By Unit Arrangements have been com- .pleted to bring the mobile X-ray unit of the division of tubercu- losis, state board of health, to Gulf county as follows: Wewa- hitchka on March 15 and Port St. Joe on March 16. Groups eligible for X-ray by the unit will be an- nounced in the near future,. The Gulf county health depart- ment has been in charge of ar- rangements for the services, of the mobile X-ray equipment. The local program is being offered through the. co-operation of the Gulf Coun- ty Medical society, Gulf County Tuberculosis 'and Health associa- tion, Gulf County Health Council and other organizations Interested in tubeTculosis. '"An X-ray of the lungs 'will show pulmonary tuberculosis in the: early-stages as well as in the more advanced stages," Dr. Jason Mil- Jer, director of the Franklin-Gulf- 'Wakulia county health department said yesterday. "In fact, an X-ray is the' only 'way of detecting the "disease In the early stages. "Tuberculosis can be cured ift detected' early,"-; Dr. eMillercon,- cludedi. "It is often fatal if dis- covered in the advanced stage.I When the disease first starts in, tfie lungs, no symptoms are hnotice-t able.'An X-ray -of the lungs, how-, ever, will reveal the presence of tuberculosis in this stage." Approximately 400 persons can ,:,-be X-rayed each day with the. mo- bile unit. Residents of Gulf county Share advised to watch the local pa- pers for announcement of those eligible for X-ray, 'and everyonji eligible is urged to take advantage of this service. -K BOMBER CRASHES IN BAY NEAR CITY -- A medium two-motor bomber .from Tyndall Field crashed in St. Apww Bay about 6 o'clock Mon- iday afternoon" the accident occur- -ring about four miles west of this city, near T.

Cause of the crash is not known, 'but witnesses said the pilot revvedt up one, motor and then the other without gaining altifudie before he "pancakeT" the ship in five feet of water about 100 feet off the beach.

The announcement came Sunday from the OPA and we can imagine the gasps of the women- :ftter -whCW--thcy &IgTT- aF b.M- It didn't bother the -men, because most of them can't' afford 'three pairs of shoes anyway-it takes all the shoe money to keep the ladies up to par. A new dress, a new hat or a new handbag in the. past gen- erally called for a new pair of shoes to match. Now they'll buy hats, dresses and, handbags to match the shoes they have. Reason for the shoe rationing program is that war-time demands for leather and man power have slowed down production of civilian shoes. In addition, more of the re- maining supply is needed by our armed forces. We shouldn't kick if we're forced, to go barefoot, if it will bring an end to the war quicker. Manufacturers will continue to make adequate amounts of their more economical types, of shoes, but will not be permitted to turn out the more -expensive types. Gold and silver, two-tone, men's patent leather and other less es- sential 'shoes are out, and colors will be limited to white, black, town brown and army. russet. Only house slippers, infants' soft-soledi shoes, and stprm-type rubberwear are exempted -rom the rationing program. (Continued on Page 2.

Already a large numbc of local Izaak Waltons are diggi out the fishing tackle they rel gated to the attic when the "no'pleasure driving" edict was issue' and are planning on week-end fi ling ex- peditions.

He-still is a human being, endowed with all of the impulses that motivate the human race.

It is the companion playing opposite him that matters, and that transforms the situation into something the, man in uniform en- joys or views with indifference. The problems of the relation- ,ships of young men and women are not materially different in es- sence, today, than .they always have been. They are simply intensified by war conditions and war psy- chology. Girls, today are urgently in need of protection andi guid- ance, and of understanding on their part of their own emotional nature and the, emotional drives of the young men whom they meet. Parents and community agencies must combine to give this protection and guidance. Young men, too, need under- standing of themselves and of the girls they know, and they need to have a feeling of responsibility for their relationship with young (Continued on Page 2) -K STUDENTS RESUME PLANS FOR PLAY The loss of five.seniors from the high school to the trade school in Tallahassee brought plans for pre sentfation of the senior play, "Be- lieve Me, Professor," to a tempor- tire com- ary halt, but the seniors now an- Jones and nounce that practice has been re sumed with the same determina- tion-to bring to patrons a "swell" evening's entertainment in the de- lightful fashion introduced in the "Lazy Mpon Minstrels."

STREAMLINE TRAILER HOUSES X-RAY LABORATORY lS V "-l |i I S^,A1 4 BLESSINGS ON THEE, BAREFOOT BOY! Following the surprise an- nouncement of shoe rationing last Sunday, patriotic high school lads turned up for their classes Monday with the spirit of conservationalism beaming from their faces and their feet minus covering. By noon time there were a large num- ber of erstwhile dudes stroll- ing about the campus wiggl- ing their bare toes in their sand and howling with agony upon coming in contact with the sandspurs with which the school grounds are so plenti- fully blessed. Despite this handicap, the fad seemed to be gaining dis- ciples, even conscripting a number of senior girls, before it met an unhappy end. Prof. W. A. Biggart put a stop to it shortly after noon with his well-placed argument that the students could afford a bit more shoe leather much easier than a flock of absentee pu- pils down with bad colds and? stubbed toes. j1 Registration For Ration Book 2 To Start Feb. 22 All Retail Stocks of Rationed Goods Will Be Frozen for Eight-Day Period Point rationing will be intro- duced to the residents of Gulf county with a six-day registration period from February 22 to 27 during which they will get War Ration Book Two-one for each member of the household. Schools of the county will tbe used as places of registration and school teachers will act as clerks. During the. eight-day period, be- ginning at midnight Saturday, Feb- ruary 20 and continuing to March 1, all retail stocks of rationed goods will be frozen to allow store- keepers to get their stocks, in shape before the day of point ra- tion shopping begins on Monday, March 1. In other words, you will not be able to buy any of the ra- tioned foods during the registra- tion period, but you will be able to buy other unrationed .foods- for after -all, .Uncle Sam doesn't want you to starve for a week in preparation for point rationing. Many people contacted by the ed- itor of The Stau are under the im- pressioi that all, stores will be cloesd for a week and tiat no fobd purchases of aavy ]ind ;..a be The registration will work on the same principle as an automo- bile assembly line. Every step will be clearly defined: 1-Any adult member of the family may register for all mem- bers of the group. To enter the registration center, he must show at the door a copy of War Ration, Book One (sugar-coffee) for each member of the group for whom he wishes to register. 2-Next he will fill out a form for the declaration of the number of containers of commercially canned goods at home.

Our Country Z Right or Wrong LITTLE THINGS HELP MERCHANTS Most of us here in Port St. Joe are accept- ing without grumbling the conditions which do not permit our merchants to provide for us the service they formerly did. 'With cur- tailed help and lack of merchandise in many lines our merchants are endeavoring to serve to the best of their ability, and this we should appreciate. We can all help them, if we will, in many small ways. For instance, small charges are often a source of annoyance to merchants, like the charging of a nickel drink. Charging of small items like this consumes practical all of the profit on the sale in the bookkeep- ing involved. If, when making- small pur- chases, :we pay as we buy it will save the storekeeper much time. Let's stop and consider this a moment: The usual charge account goes through the following procedure: The purchase is made, the charge is written up, it is posted on the customer's ledger sheet, an itemized invoice is sent requiring a statement blank, an en- velope and a stamp,-th-e customier-nake 65ut0 a check, puts it into an 'envelope requiring a stamp to mail it or else goes to the store to pay the bill, then the merchant enters up the item on his cash register and posts the credit to the customer's account. If the cus- tomer is careless about paying bills, the mer- chant may have to send another statement, 'the second and even the third month. What a lot of valuable time wasted! Ana it could all be saved if we went on a cash basis for the small items. Remember that the next time you feel like charging a small item. Your merchants will appreciate it. We were listening to the March of Time program on the radio the other evening- which reminded us that it is almost time to make out another income tax return. AUTO DEALERS 'DIG IN' According to Joseph W. Frazer, president of the Willys-Overland company, more than 72 per cent of Florida's 427 automobile deal- ers have "'dug in" for the duration, and as a result, expect to be in business when the war is over. Of the 28 per cent in the state who may not survive the- war, less than 8 per cent defl- nitely plan to close their doors before hostili- ties cease, Frazer said in announcing the find- ings of a cross-section survey. The other 20 per cent are merely doubtful of their ability to continue in business for the duration. Some sort of tribute is due the automobile dealer. No business enterprise has been so hard-hit by the war. There aren't any more new cars to be sold, comparatively few acces- sories; tire sales contribute little if anything to the average dealer's income; gas sales have dropped to near the vanishing point. In addition to having his stock-in-trade taken away from him, the automobile dealer -speaking of those who operate garages in connection with sales agencies-has had to contribute his mechanics to the war effort. But they are hanging on doggedly, making out somehow and, so far as the pubilc knows, not complaining about their predicament. They are keeping their places of business open by hard work and good management, ekeing out an existence from servicing the few cars that are being kept in operation, the sale of used cars and sidelines-some of which have been added since Pearl Harbor changed their whole business outlook.-Ocala News.

Now, aren't you willing to do without your gasoline ? A brief news item frtm a western city re- ports an auto accident. The driver was burned to a crisp. In his car i'ere found heat-seared containers that had held gasoline. Don't be tempted to "hoard" gasoline, particularly In your home. Gasoline -dces not merely burn- its fumes in a confinell space have the force of dynamite, and thej will explode without warning, the detonator often being an in- visible spark incurred by static electricity.

War conditionsibring thousands of girls and women from towns and vil- lages intoithe areas of industrial or military activity; in search or employment. Sometimes they come merely forexcitement. Away from home or community restraint, some of tbem become promiscuous. From sex-promiscuity to commer-- cialized prostitution, it is but a short ste6'when the young girl gets into the hands of the men and women who make money out of prostitution. Thege include the "go-betweens" who find the cus- tomers, and the madames, and keepers who run the resorts where prostitution is practiced. We feel.thbat education and pro- tective work is necessary in every community to safeguard the young woman who finds herself facing such problems, and to protect the man in uniform as well. Protec- tive work must start where pro- tection is needed, and that is in the parks, streets, and places of commercial amusement where ser- vicemen and girls most frequently meet without any of the commun- ity, safeguards they would recog- nize back home. Today we must vigorously com- bat all these factors. which sap national strength. Organizations of civic workers, such as the Woman's Auxiliary, U. S. 0., P.-T. A., Red Cross, etc., can hilp now by doing these four things: 1-Teach the public, including the older high school students, the facts about venereal diseases. 2-Support their local health de- partment and demand a gooey ven- ereal diseases prevention program. 3-Urge workers, those who handle fo',d, etc., to get a physi- cal examination, and treatment it needed. 4-Unite with all forces in th.' community to demand vigorous repression of prostitution. SHOES PLACED ON RATIONED LIST (Continued from Page 1) Stamp No. 17 in War Ration Book' One will be used. to buy the first pair of shoes, and will be good until June 15. Special cases, such as mailmen and policemen walking beats, will receive extra rations. Shoe dealers must use extreme care to keep shoe stamps and cer- tificates that customers give them. Customers may exchange a pair of shoes for another without sur- rendsering another stamp if mer- chants wish to make the exchange. But if they return a pair of shoes for refund or credit, the flealer must give them a No. 17 stamp and a cash receipt or 'credit memo. Customers must present both the stamp and *receipt when they buy shoes from another merchant.- pairing or resoling shoes-which is good news to Austin Huggins, and, incidentally, a lot more work. [or heaps of "discarded" shoes will be dragged out andi sent to the shoes shop for an overhaul job. In fact, right now Huggins' Leader Shoe Shop is slam-jam full of sal- vaged footwear and Austin is run- ning around in circles wondering how he's going to ge,t all the work done. But the hardest blow of all in this new rationing is the fact that. women's heels are, limited to not more than 2% inches in height.
