A little confusion and, misunde]

Port St. Joe housewives with th
new "point" ration books, but nov
things are running along fairly:

addition to the original ratione

point values after OPA had' an

original list were also sources o
some annoyance.
But there isn't such a rushing
business being done in the loca
stores, on the rationed items, the
majority of buyers apparently, be
ing of a mind to hold their blue
coupons until they see just hov
much 48 points will buy, also per
haps due to the fact that the ma
jerity of consumers had stocks o
canned good on their shelves pur
chased before the freeze.
With the high point values put
on canned fruits and vegetables
it is anticipated that there will be
a continually greater demand for
fresh fruits and vegetables, par
ticularly about the. end of the
month when point stamps are al
most all used up. Many citizens of
Port St. Joe who have never gone
to the trouble before of planting a
garden are now all set to join the
Victory garden drive and raise as
much as possible vegetables for
their own consumption.
To offset possible price boosts
on fresh vegetables, the state OPA
office has ruled, that "ceiling prices
on cabbage, tomatoes, green and
wax beans, carrots and peas, may
not exceed the highest price
charged for the same kind, variety
and grade during the five days of

l The Kiwanis club will observe

Speaker for the occasion will be
Mrs. Monica Conter Benning of

armed forces at Hickman Field,
Hawaii, during the Japanese at-

r Mrs. B. E. Kenney spoke at the
Meeting of the club on Thursday
of last week, telling of the Camp
and Hospital Service and how the
f boys in camp appreciate the serv-
ice rendered by the organization.
She said *ping-pong tables, straight
chairs, radios, lamps, pictures',
book shelves and curtains were

in nearby camps. The local club
agreed to construct several ping-
pong tables, providing the neces-
sary lumber was donated, and

T. R. L. Carter gave an interest-

ing Mrs. Kenney's talk, stressing
the most important aspects of the
new system of distributing food.
W. C. Roche, who. 'had just re-
turned from a meeting of county
commissioners at Tampa,, gave a
brief resume of what had. been
done at' the conclave and stated
that in his opinion the' session had
been the most important yet held
by the county commissioners of
the state.

MORE HELP NEEDED
TO MAKE DRESSINGS

SMrs. Lovie Coburn, in charge of
the Red Cross room here which at
present Is working on surgical
dressings,,reports that she has re-
ceived a call for 27,000 dressings
to be delivered' by March 15. To
date 23,000 have been made. Ir
this call is to be filled, quite a
number more volunteers will be
needed.
An average of 400 dressings is
being made daily, although 1000
were turned out one day last
month, mainly through volunteers
from the Pilot club. Greatest num-
ber made in one day by one indi-
vidual was 200 by Mrs. W. S.
SSmith.
I This is; an important part of the
war effort, and the women of Port
ISt. Joe are urged to contribute at
least two hours weekly each. If
this were done the quota for the
sew-ing room. probably could be
met.


TRANSFUSION IN
NEW GUINEA JUNGLE


NEW GUINEA-Behind the fi-lit-
ing line in the Buna sector of New
Guinea, a .transfusion of Red Cross
blood plasma is being given to a
wounded fighter by Lt. Robert J.
Gilardi, of Pittsburgh,. and Cap-
tain Arnold Neustadter (right) of
Flushing, N.Y., in a portable emer-
gency hospital. The container of
sterile water and plasma in solu-'
tion hangs from the tent roof. Many'
men badly wounded in battle have
been saved through this method of
transfusion practically 'on the spot.
The army and navy have requested
the Red Cross to secure four mil.
lion pints of blood in 1943.


Plane Missing

From Field At

Apalachicola


Unidentified. Rubber Life Raft Is
Found On Beach Near
Indian Pass

An advanced training plane with
two men aboard has been missing
since Tuesday morning from the
Army Air Forces Flexible Gunnery
Camp at Apalachicola. The plane
took off on a routine flight .at a
target township for a gunnery mis-
sion and did' not return.'
Pilot of the missing trainer was
First Lieut. Charles- H. Williams,
28, fr6m Seldon, N. Y., who lived
in Apalachicola with his wife. Ac-
companying him was Pvt. Charles
A. Riola, 28, of Dunkirk, N. Y.
Planes from both the kApalachi-
cola field and Tyndall Field have
been searching for the missing
ship, but up to yesterday no word
had been received, here that it had
been found,.
An unidentified rubber life raft
was found on the beach near In-
dian Pass, and it is thought it may
have been released from the me-
dium bomber which disappeared
after leaving Atlanta last Friday
night en route to Tyndall Field
with six men aboard.
The raft was damaged, indicat-
ing it may have been released in
an emergency landing.

Our Country 7 Right or Wrong


THE HUMBLE CHINESE

Labor today is the most powerful single
group in the nation. It can make or break the
.war effort. Labor leaders, by demanding
their pound 6f flesh during the emergency,
can bring disastorus inflation which would
wipe out a half century of labor gains, to-
gether with the savings and standards of liv-
ing of every man, woman and child in the
country.
Labor should make sacrifices along with
the rest of us, forego extravagant overtime
demands, help to protect the working rights
of men returning, from war, cease disruptive
jurisdictional strife and "make-work" tactics.
Are these things too much to ask of labor
at a time when our country is fighting for
its very life, when our young men on the far-
flung battlefronts are giving their all? We
think not.
Let us consider a little incident that hap-
pened in China some years ago, before Pearl
Harbor but after the Japanese invasion of
Chlina. The Chinese government hired an
'-.American engineer to operate lan airplane fac-
-'tory somewhere in the interior of that coui,-
tr y. The Chinese employes of this factory
normally worked a 70-hour week-10 houxa
a day for seven days. If they worked longer
they had to be paid overtime. But before the


.\mAria.in engineer could pay overtime wages
he had to get permission from the govern-
ment at Chungking. This, as can be readily

The foreman did as directed, and C: task
,.-,icd. The engineer handed the fore-
man enough money to pay for the ove'i':nec.
The next day the foreman returned and put
the money, intact, on the engineer's desk.
"How come?" asked the American. "Wh)
didn't you pay the men?"
'"hey wouldn't take it," replied th,,' fore-
man. "They said if the work was important
enough so that you, a foreigner, were will-
ing to pay for it out of your own pocket, then
it was important enough so that they, as
Chinese, should be glad of the chance to do
it for their country."
This, as we mentioned above, happened in
China, not in the United States where labor
is crippling the war program by striking oin
the least provocation and losing millions of
man-hours by being absent from work with-
out a legitimate excuse.

should have on hand to vary the
monotony and provide that some-

diet.
In 120 days there are 17 full

seventeen dishes. Two servings a

NOTICE TO SUBSCRIBERS AND

PROSPECTIVE SUBSCRIBERS

The War Production Board recently ordered a 10 per cent
cut in newsprint for the larger papers, and it is expected
that another cut will be ordered about April 1. The or-
der did not affect The Star, but WPB did ask this:
"The publishers of small newspapers are expected vol-
untarily to make every possible economy in the use .of
newsprint."
So, in compliance with this request, The S-ar is discon-
tinuing all subs'riptions that are not paid in advance and
is limiting the number of subscribers that w,11 be carried
for the duration.
We are in position to accept approximately 100 new
subs.-ipt'ons. and v-hcan that quota is filled a waiting list
will be set up and as present subscribers discontinue
their 17pvr those: at the top of this list will become
.-1, ais subscribers.
f11 is our desire to keep every subscriber on our mailing
list. .but it is obvious that we cannot continue to mail
The Star to those who do not pay up their subscription
at expira ion. We will give our old subscribers ever\
possible consideration, but we must also give considera-
tion to those who have never been subscribers to Th'
Star and wish to subscribe now.
It is contrary to the natural instincts of a publisher to
turn away circulation, but this we will be forced to do
when the quota we have set has been filled.
IF YOU ARE NOT NOW A SUBSCRIBER TO THE
STAR, BUT HAVE BEEN CONSIDERING GETTING
ON THE MAILING LIST, YOU HAD BETTER DO
SO TODAY-TOMORROW MAY BE TOO LATE!
IF YOU HAVE RECEIVED NOTICE THAT YOUR
SUBSCRIPTION HAS EXPIRED, AND HAVE BEEN
PUTTING OFF PAYING IT, YOU HAD BETTER AT-
TEND TO IT TODAY-TOMORROW MAY BE TOO
LATE, AS YOUR NAME MAY BE REMOVED FROM
OUR MAILING LIST.

'Those Who Owe

1940 Taxes May

Lose Property

First Land Sale Under New Tax
Laws Is Set For
Summer

Owners of real estate delinquent
for 1940 taxes covered by 1941 tax
certificates will lose their lands
is sun'u'er-two years after date
of the 1941 certificates-unless ali
dlelinquentl taxes are paid by re-
deeming the 1941" certificates.
The statutes, themselves, dis-
tinctly set forth that the land it-
self covered by such delinquencies
shall be adverised this summer
and sold, at which sale the title
will clearly; pass from the owner
to the purchaser, who may be any
individual or the county, according
to word received: by County Tax
Collector Pridgeon.
Under the new tax laws lands
under certificates, issued in 1941
will be offered for sale to any and
al1 persons and the sale will ac-
tually pass merchantable title to
the property-just as a foreclosure
sale or sheriff's sale passes title
to the purchaser.
Discussion of this point at the
recent meeting of circuit court
clerks in Orlando developed' the
fact that property owners will
have to act promptly to protect
their title to any property on
which the 1940 taxes have not
been paid or redeemed.
The provisions of the statute
are the "teeth" that were so much
discusesd during the 1941 legisla-
ture when the tax program was
adopted as law in an effort to
make tax collections sure and cer-
tain against all and do away with
the "free and' easy" methods of
the past which had permittedI
"writing off" delinquent taxes
every so often and adding that
burden to the shoulders of those
who pay every year.

Mrs. Aubrey L. Williams was
taken to a Panama City hospital
for treatment Thursday night ot
it week.


SCOUTS TO MEET TONIGHT
The regular meeting of the Boy
SScout troop will be held, this eve
fning at 8 o'clock at the Presby-
terian church. A board of review
;i.l be held. All applicants for
merit badges must come before
the board before badges are,
granted.
