Red Cross Drive

Here Is Lagging

Chairman Conklin Reports That
But $800 of County's $2200
Quota Raised

Gulf county is lagging in contri-
butions tb the. Red Cross War
Fund drive launched last week,
according to B. B. Colsklin chair-
man of the drive. With a goal set
it $2200 for Gulf county to raise

national 'Red Cross activities, $700
of the total being sent to national
headquarters and the remaining
$1500 placed at the disposal of the
local chapter.
The Red Cross right now has a
big job on its hands, and it takes

some more.

culture's "Victory Gardens," a slim

but only, half as much cheese as
the British are getting.
. Sixteen points per consumer per
week will be allowed, for all of the
new rationed food's and the con-
sumer can decide upon which of
the rationed items, he pi-.fers to
spend most of his points.
It isn't possible to say exactly
how much of each of the foods a
consumer will get each week, but
it is estimated that the following
average weekly/ rations will be
approxima je during the next few
months: iMeat, 2 to 2/, pounds;
butter, 41/2 ounces.; lard, 4-ounces;
margarine, 1%/3 ounces; cheese,
slightly less than 2 ounces; short-
ening, 3 ounces.
The new meat-fats-cheese ration-
ing program will leave only a fewl
items of food, unrationed-such as
fresh and frozen fish, poultry and
game, breads, cereals and, flour,
fresh fruits and vegetables.

Our Country "'3 Right or Wrong

A RAID MIGHT BE JUST THE TICKET
Nazi Germany is threatening reprisal bomb-
ings of America's east coast in retaliation for
the present "inhuman and wanton" bombings
of Berlin and other German cities.
Probably the Germans could send over a
few planes and drop a few bombs along our
eastern coast, and it probably would be a
wonderful builder-upper of morale if. they did
-be just the thing we need to make the great
majority of our people realize that there
really is a war going on.
Here in Port St. Joe every effort has been
made to man the A. W. S. airplane spotting
tower from daylight to dusk, and while there
are a few volunteers who appear regularly
to serve their two-hour shift, the greater
number who signed up have appeared several
times and then failed to report further. The
same applies to the 'Red Cross surgical dress-
ing room. Volunteers start enthusiastically
and then, after a few shifts, fail to return.
People just don't seem to realize that they
should do everything in their power to fur-
ther the war effort. If they devoted all of
their time to efforts on the home front they
still would not be doing half as much as our
men on the battlefronts in all parts of the
world.
Yes, we sincerely believe that it will be
necessary for the enemy to drop a few bombs
in our front yard before most of our people
will be wakened from their state of suspended
animation in regard to the war.

WHY MORE COMMITTEES?
A proposal has been made in the house of
representatives to establish a new standing
committee on aviation.
There is about as much sense in that as in
advocating a new standing committee on
railroad transportation in addition to the in-
terstate commerce commission, or a new
standing committee on labor in addition to
existing agencies.
What this country needs is fewer commit-
tees with fewer uninformed persons on them
and consolidation of many existing commit-
tees.

In looking over an old copy of the Satur-
day Evening Post we noticed an advertise-
ment that was headed: "Buy a Car and See
the World." Today it would read, "Try and
Buy a Car and See What's Left of the World."

We know some men here in Port St. Joe
who will walk. five miles around a pool table
and then kick to beat the band if their wife
asks them to walk a block or two for a loat
of unsliced bread.

They tell us that the end of the well-dressed
man is in view. Tch! Tch! Tch! Jasper
News. Well, he can sew a patch on the seat
of his pants.

A man with a wife and two good automo-
bile tires has nothing else to worry about ex-
cept some place to go.-Lake City Reporter.


THE RED CROSS WAR FUND
All of us know what a vitally important
work the Red Cross does here at home in
saving lives, relieving distress and helping to
rehabilitate the victims of sudden disaster.
Many .of us have seen its wonderful minis-
tries in Florida after a hurricane has crossed
the peninsula, leaving thousands of people in
urgent need of food, shelter, clothing, medi-
cal care and the means of beginning life anew.
What the Red Cross has done and stands
ever ready to do on the home front, it is now
doing the earth around, especially on those
far-flung fields hnd seas of battle where our
boys are fighting for a free America and a
decent world.
Wherever our boys are fighting, there the
Red Cross is serving-not only in hospitals,
away from the battlefront but often within
a mile or less of the thick of action. By be-
ing right on the job the Red Cross is saving
and conserving the lives o0 our fighting men.
Such is the significance of the campaign
for the Red Cross War Fund now launched In
Gulf county-a campaign to raise $2200 as
our part of a nation-wide fund of $125,000,-
000. This is a cause so great and urgent, so
near to our homes and hearts, so splendid in
all that it means to our country and to hu-
mankind, that every citizen, every man, wo-
man and child, should rejoice in the oppor-
tunity of helping carry it to a speedy success.

GROW SOME VEGETABLES
Now is the time to prepare your ground
for that Victory garden. Planting season is
near at hand In fact, there are quite a num-
ber of vegetables that you can plant now.
The department of agriculture has set a
goal of 18,000,000 Victory gardens in 1943
and these gardens can do much to help meet
the food needs of the year. How many of
those gardens will be in Port St. Joe?
Farmers are attempting to meet the big-
gest production goals in the history of the
country, and they are working under the
handicap of labor and- material shortages.
They need the help of Victory gardeners in
every town and city.
Inquiry about town indicates an almost
universal interest in Port St. Joe in Victoryn
gardens this year, and these gardeners wilI
make an important contribution to the food
supply of our city as well as the nation.
If you haven't yet made plans for a Vic-
tory garden, do so now before it gets too late
in the season.

We're still staunchly in favor of a pay-as-
you-go tax plan. Taxation must be put on a
pay-as-you-earn basis levied against current
income. And we know there are a large num-
ber of converts to that opinioti right here ih
Port St. Joe since last Monday.

With meat rationing in the offing, here's a
tip: The ancients ate more vegetables than
meats, and they didn't know whether a vita-
min was a fish or a fowl.

We may consider this "cold" weather for
Florida, but we. can thank our lucky stars
that we're not living above the Mason and
Dixon line.

Bougie and Bone are in Allied hands, and
if the boys hear of any foreign places named
Jive and Jook, they'll take those, too.-St
Petersburg Independent.

come a mane dish in some American home.

Books Offered For

Back Yard Food lot

Thousands of pounds of much-
needed food might be released to our
fighting forces and to Lease-Lend,
believes our local Purina Merchant,
if citizens of this community utilized
the food-growing facilities of their
own back yards.
There's enough ground behind the
average kitchen door, he believes, to
produce all the vegetables, broilers,
domestic rabbit meat, goat's milk,
etc. any family can eat. In many
back yards enough more might be
produced to bring in 'additional fam-
ily income, a fair. share of which
might go for the purchase of more
war stamps and bonds.
All these food-growing projects
can be attended to in leisure time, at
small expense, and.with little or no
previous experience, he adds. And
they render practical independence
from present or future food ration-
ing.
"That's the way our fathers and
grandfathers fed their families,"
states the Purina Dealer, "and to
win this war and send all the food
to our soldiers and allies needed to
win the war, that's the way we'll
have to feed our own families too!"
If you wish to enroll your own
back yard in the "Home Food Lot"
Program now being sponsored by
this paper in cooperation with the
Purina Merchant, we suggest you
call at the "Store With the Checker- .
board Sign" for the various book-
lets on how to start a small broiler
plant, rabbitry, or goat dairy.

Electric equipment of many

who have made it dependable.
They've made it plentiful,
too--so that America's war

than those of any other nation.
And they've made it cheap -
so that the average American
home enjoys about twice as
much electricity for the same
money it paid 15 years ago.'
