Shoes Are Placed Ban Lifted On

On Rationed List Pleasure Driving

Without Warning West rof River
West of River


Everybody Limited to Three Pairs
Yearly; Only 'Essential' Foot-
wear to 'Be Manufactured

'Everybody 'knows now that
shoes: are on the rationed, list and
that they will be doled out at the
rate of three pairs a year for each
person. 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.

Relationships of Young *Men and

War Conditions

By JASON MILLER, M.D.
Director Franklin-Gulf Health Department
"Show a soldier a ping-pong
table and he will forget all about
love."
This is the erroneous kind of
thinking that has ledto, much con-
ldaLiJ' auout ,ue soieier-v'r i -b.
lem. The uniform does. not make
a robot out of:a man. He-still is a
human being, endowed with all of
the impulses that motivate the
human race. A ping-pong table: as
a thing in itself stirs little re-
sponse in the man, unless it is a
means of providing good fellow-
ship. 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

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.

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.

itor of The Stau are under the im-
pressioi that all, stores will 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. Just one
figure need, be given-the total
number of containers, minus the

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.


SUPPOSING
Just suppose:
-That the United Nations are planning an
all-out offensive against Hitler in April, and
-That vast quantities of gasoline and fuel
oil must be transported before the attempted
knockout blow, and
-That early-next summer, as a result ot
the present restrictions upon the use of gaso--

need and launch a stupendous and over-
whelming attack, and
-That it will shorten' the .war and save
the lives of thousands of -young Americans,
maybe a number from Gulf county.
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.

Both-dieeases are spread chief::i
by sexually contacts. Promiscuity,
particularly prostitution, scatters
infections far and wide.
In many cases girls slip into
prostitution so gradually that of-
ten they do -not realize what they
are letting themselves in for. War

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.

Book' One will be used. to buy the
first pair of shoes, and will be

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

shoes from another merchant.-

CORRECTION
A similarity of names caused a
slight error in the writeup last
week of the wedding of Miss Lil-
lian Johnson and Sgt. Billy Slaugh-
ter. Miss Gwendolyn Spencer was
the, maid -of honor, not Miss Gwen-
dolyn Howell.

The correspondent for the Wo-
man's club last week stated that
new members of the club's pro-
gram committee were Mrs. 0. D.
Langston and Mrs. Charles Brown.
It should have. been Mrs. Langs-
ton and Mrs. W. D. Dare.

Mr. and Mrs. C. J. Sullivan and
Mr. and Mrs. M. K. Hurlbut and
small son spent the week-end, .in
Orlando and Jacksonville on busi-
ness.
