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. Wise homemakers

With goods becoming scarcer and
scarcer and "point" rationing go-
ing into effect on foodstuffs on
March 1, which will have a ten-
dency to cut down on sales, the
majority of the merchants of Port
St. Joe got their heads together
this week and. agreed to take a
half-holiday on Wednesdays for
the duration, beginning March. 3,
closing their doors when the noon
whistle at the paper mill blows.
An effort was made at the same
time to establish closing hours of
7 p. m. on weekdays and 9 p. m.
on Saturday, but all, could not
agree on this point, so each store
will set its own closing hours.
Those firms of the city signing
for the Wednesday half-holiday
are as follows: Quality Grocery,
A & P Food Store, Barrier 5 and
10c Store, St. Joe Hardware Com-
pany, McCoyfs Grocery and Groce-

Paper Mill Forced To Close
Down Due to Lack of

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

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. N. is
bringing in mail and express by
truck and making every effort pos-
sible to expedite freight shipments,
The St. Joe Paper company,
which depends to a large extent
on the railroad, for its supply of
pulpwood, was forced to close
down for several days last week
due to, lack of wood-, but reopened

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

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. .. '
Wars -cost money, and the people must pay
for them. The sooner they beghi-to. pay, the
better. The smaller the installments can be
made, the easier the taxes are to pay.
So let's face the facts and keep the Eagle
flying high. Write your congressman today
and urge him to support the 'pay-as-you-go,
tax measure. .

also to have a great increase in
delinquency among boys and girl's
unless protective measures are
taken.
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

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 ....
