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 during the drive., but $800 had been contributed up to yesterday. Funds contributed in the drive will be used for local as well as 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 ready cash to carry it out. We should all give as much as pos- sible eightt now-and then give some more. -K GENERAL DISEASE LAW TO BE PASSED .BY CITY %At the regular meeting of the board, of city commissioner's Tues- day evening, City Attorney E.

Department of Agri- culture's "Victory Gardens," a slim pamphlet for beginning gardeners, is now on the "best seller" list and' on the way toward making printing history. A first printing of 500,000 copies has already been exhausted, and a second printing of 2,000,000 is rapidly dwindling. The pamphlet is distributed free by the depart- ment. The department is now planning to push distribution of "Home Can- ning," one of its long-time pamph- let "best sellers." Write for both. Mrs. Lovie R. Coburn has been named a volunteer recruiter for Port St. Joe in the navy's pro- curement drive for enlisted per- sonnel in the WAVES and SPARS, women's reserve of the navy and coast guard.

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.

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.

When better operations are performed the women will brag about them. Keep smiling-and buy War Bonds! 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.

The 16 red stamps available to each consumer each week will be interchangeable and may be used for any of there items included in the program. For instance, a house- wife may spend more points on meat and less on cheese, or more on cooking oils and less on mar- garine or butter. Consumers will not 'be asked to declare stocks, on hand, as with coffee and canned foodstuffs. The new program permits re- tailers to give "change" in ration stamps ,when a customer finds it impossible to give the exact amount of valid red stamps when making a purchase. Only 1-point red stamps of any valid series may be used for this purpose. Gadi White of Wewahitchka was transacting business in this, city. Tuesday.

A human life depends on the smooth, even flow. of electric power. Electric equipment of many kinds serves the modern hos- pital. Busy doctors, and nurses use it every day for diagnosis and treatment, 'without even pausing to think of the elec- tricity that runs it, But electric power isn't auto- matic. The hard-working men and women of America's elec- tric companies are the folks who have made it dependable. They've made it plentiful, too--so that America's war plants have far more power 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.'
