JOE, GULF COUNTY, FLORIDA, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 1943 NUMBER 20 New Point System Presents Big Job To Ration Board Holders of Ration Book One Will Begin Registering Next Wednesday Final touches are being put on plans by the Gulf County Ration- ing Board for handling the biggest job it has yet been faced, with when rationing 'begins March 1 on canned foods, dried fruits and other food items. Registration will ,begin next Wednesday, February 24, at the schools of the county, which will be closed from Wedneeday thru the balance of the week, and regis- tration will continue up to" Satur- day noon. Only holders of Ration Book 1 will be permitted to register for the Number 2 books. New babies should be registered for Book 1 within ene month after birth. (With all the information pub- :ls'hed during the past .month on, this new "point" rationing system, everyone should be fairly familiar with it by this time. Under the new, system, you, will have- two klfda of- currency to spend-nmohey and point .stamps, and, one -more itdm will have to go Into the fam- ily budget.. 'To take full advantage' of the -available suppWf.-ot the' rationed' . foods, point stamps should be budgeted along with food money. Mpre than ever, the budgeting of food money Is a "must," and the planned expenditure of point cou- pons is necessary if you want to be sure ybur family's points will last over the entire ration period. For the first period all blue stamps marked' A, B and C may be spent-making a total of 48 points per person (red stamps will be used later for meat). To shop wisely you .should know cur- rent point values, keeping a list at home and using it to make up a carefully planned shopping list. Point lists will appear in your lo- cal newspaper. Prices may differ -from store to store, but the point .values will ibe the same in every store. uiNa ,rally, the more low point foods you use, the further ration stamps will go.

Railroad Traffic Tied Up As Barge Hits Draw Span Paper Mill Forced To Close Down Due to Lack of Pulp Wood Two huge, heavily loaded barges being towed by a tug belonging to a Huston, Texas., concern, got out of control when passing through the draw span of the Apalchicola Northern Railroad company bridge over the Apalachicola river Thurs- day of last week and collided head-on with the central pier sup- porting. the swinging section of the ,bridge, tilting it to a consider- able angle and. throwing the bridge more than six feet out of ifne. Since, that time Port St. Joe and Apalachicola have been without rail service, although the A.

Our Country 7 Right or Wrong STUDY IN RELATIVITY A global war has given all of us. a different understanding of relative values of almost everything under the sun. A little over a year ago we talked glibly about essential and nonessential industries. Guns, ammunition, airplanes and ships were essential. The lowly milk cow, or the hen cackling when she laid an egg, were just part of the country scenery. But now we have awakened with a start. to the fact that milk, butter, eggs, and a thousand-and-one other products that seemed- relatively unimportant compared to battle equipment, are today the indispensable ar- ticles,. that keep our armies and our fleets in fighting trim not only our own but our Allies'. I Realizing this,' your editor's wife some six or eight months ago insisted on the con- struction of a chicken house and the purchase of fifty biddies and ten laying hens, the latter being available when Carl Trammel moved to other par-ts, .so today your editor is enjoying fresh eggs. daily on the half-shell and fried chicken six times a week-and incidetftally, the :madam has reaped a tidy sum from the sale of fryers and now has another hundred or so on the griddle. Doc Norton, listening to our bragging, simply couldn't stand it, and HITLER'S FRIEND- tary authorities alike. has also gone into the chicken business.

KEEP THE EAGLE- FLYING An old fable tells how a mouse released a lion by gnawing the net that trapped him.; The small taxpayers of Gulf county, -and millions more like them throughout the na- tion, by their tax payments, must gnaw away the debt net that now enmeshes our govern- ment. ' Thle immediate passage by congress of their pay-as-you-go tax measure to cover 1943 in- comes, will enable all the people to start right now nibbling at the debt. ..

In the crucial months ahead we must meet the enormous task of preventing an increase in syphilis and g6norrhea. The plain truth is that these diseases are among the gravest dangers which threaten national health and strength in wartime. Syphilis alone has caused more deaths than all the, wars in history, and more suffering than all the wound's of .battle. Syphills .uts men off inu their prime.

Con- structive planning for the social life of the. worker, coupled with stringent law enforcement, will mean millions of dollars saved, not only in medical care, but also in production hours and in fighting strength.

NEW POINT SYSTEM PRESENTS BIG' JOB TO RATION BOARD (Continued From Page 1) will also look to their nutrition P's and Q's, making sure, that in choosing foods they, "end up with the proper kinds for a balanced menu. Another way to bolster the .bud- get is to, -select food .by grade. In canned goods, particularly, not only grade but container size, as well, is, important. Grad'es-fancyl, choice and standard-are of equal nutritional value, and it is waste- ful to pay a premium for a fancy grade if a lower grade r wouldd serve the purpose just as. well. Remember, when signing up for Ration Book 2 the number of con- tainers of commercially canned foods (8 oz. size or larger) which come under the rationing program must be declared, less five. cans for'each member of the family. In addition, the number';of pounds of coffee on hand Novehmber 28 must also be declared. It is Wise not to have: too large a- supply of canned foods on hand by Sunday as eight points will be deducted from your new book- for each can over the five per person allowed, and you may have in your pantry. some canned food- stuffs that, when point rationing goes into effect, may have a point value of say two. So, if you have to, 'surrender eight points for a can of food that will have a value of but two points, you must chalk up a loss of six points. In order to save your time and the time of the registration clerks'. everyone possible: is urged to clip the "Consumer Declaration" ap- pearing on page one of this issue, i fill it out and carry it with them to the school house when regis- tering next week .... 9:45 a. m.-Church school. 11:00 a. m.-Morning worship. 6:30-Youth Fellowship. 7:30-Evening worship.
