Last-minute addition to the original ratione list of dried beans, peas and len tils and announcement of their point values after OPA had' an nounced the values in points of thi 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 (Continued on Page 2) MORE RUBBER FOR RECAPPING Owners of tires smaller than 7.50x20 will soon be able to get their casings recapped with re- claimed! rubber camelbackk" with- out applying to their rationing board for certificates. -, This does not relax the need for continued observance of rubber conservation measures.

She said *ping-pong tables, straight chairs, radios, lamps, pictures', book shelves and curtains were r needed to furnish recreation rooms in nearby camps. The local club agreed to construct several ping- pong tables, providing the neces- sary lumber was donated, and Mrs. Kenney said this would be. 7 provided. T. R. L. Carter gave an interest- ing talk on point rationing, follow- 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. 4'_____ A ______ Move To Fort Myers J. L.

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 Uni'lesti l, w.s\'I a slm \- procCss. ()n..: l'idy during an emergency (. i,'h pcs - .i,, !.;,1 :,,.nietl~ii.i Lt do with jap bombing) Li.: : nier, c-alled, in isf" ,, -e foreman | a d said, in effect: "Such and such \-orli mrist i i 1:i-nc lately. i'llore i- n't time to con- ut Chunkilling. You tell your men to do the jol and '111 pay their extra \ages mynell. 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.

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. THE STAR "Your Home Town Newspaper" '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.
