Africa lllllliillllllllllllllllllllllli lllllll ill;llllll lllll lll|| i|||||i Editor Receives Praise for Error When an error creeps into a country weekly, the editor gen- erally is called all kinds of names-most of them unfit to print-depending upon the type of error made. Last week. The Star came out with the -head "Meat Rationing to Start Monday." This occurred inadvertently. The head was originally written "Meat Ration- ing to Start March 29," but it was just one letter too long that way, and in glancing at the cal- endar we casually noted that March 29 fell on Monday and, without further ado, changed the March 29 to "Monday," making a prefectly-balanced head. Of course, the body of the meat rationing story stated that rationing would begin, on Mon- day, March 29, but a lot of peo- ple'overlooked that part, or else just read the head and immedi- ately dashed to the market to lay in a supply of meat. Even your editor became involved in the web of his own unintentional weaving and went out and pur- chased a 15-pound ham and two pounds of cooking fat, Come Monday morning and the official announcement that meats, oils, etc., had been frozen as 6-f midnight Sunday, and nu- merous citizens complimented Ye Ed on his perspicacity, vision, clairvoyance and sagacity in in- forming his readers of the pend- ing freeze. Those who failed to secure sufficient meat to tide them over the week mentally kicked them- selves for not heeding the warn- Ing in The Star. Others, who were not subscribers but who had heard from their neighbors that meat was to be rationed immediately, came in and sub- scribed to The Star in order, they said, not to be caught at the post when other rationing news is pending. Verily, your editor for a day or two was The Man of the Hour and Is hardly yet emerged, from the rosy cloud in which he has been floating around in-or per- halps we should call it a daze. lIIIIIIIIIl UlIIII IIIIIIIIIII i lilIIIIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII t Conklin States Workers Hope To Pass Quota Before Drive Ends April I Red Cross workers, with Gulf county's $2200 War Fundi drive goal in. sight with $1200 collected to date, intend to redouble their efforts and enthusiastically pre- dict that patriotic citizens of the county will surpass the quota be- fore the deadline April 1. "Our. people know they are giv- ing this money for their loved ones in the military service, and they are responding wholeheart- edly to this great cause," B. B. Conklin, drive chairman, declared yesterday. "All our citizens will contribute to the extent of their financial ability. They will want to be iden- tified with this service to our ret- atives and friends in the armea forces," he added. Nursing services, blood banks, blood plasma reserves for emer- gency *transfusions that save lives on the battelfields, home services as contacts for service men away from home, and .many other wai- time activities were. pointed to by Mr. Conklin as exclusive responsi- bilities of the Red Corss which must be. maintained. "The Red Cross is the only of- ficial contact between our civilian an d military populations," he pointed, out, "and it is the one means of possible contact between service -men held captive by our enemies and their families back home. We can thank God that, to date, none of our Gulf county men are in concentration camps of the, enemy, but before this holocaust Is ended there probably will be many."I Chairman Conklin stated that per- sons or firms not contacted by the volunteer workers could help out a lot by leaving their contributions with him at the Gulf Hardware' store. At completion of the drive The Star will publish the names of all contributors subscribing $'5 or more. to the, War Fund. Lack of space precludes publishing names of every contributor, for which w , are sorry.

We hope that others will bring in letters from our boys overseas that we all may have the priv- elege of enjoying them.) "One chance in a million': is the way Billy Coody describes meeting up with Charles Pridgeon some- where in North Africa. But we'll let him tell it as he wrote in a letter to his sister, Miss Myrtice Coody of this city: "I really had a lot of luck day before yesterday (February 24). I was walking along coming from work, on my way to my quarters, talking to one of the boys who works with me, when I heard someone yell, 'Well, if it isn't Billy!' Now none of the fellows ever call me Billy-it is either Bill or Coody-so I knew it must be someone from home. I looked. around and there stood Charles Pridgeon. Gosh, was I glad. to see him! We had about a threse-hour talk after we met.. "I sure am glad taht he is sta- tioned here at the same field as I am. It makes a fellow really feel good to be able to talk about home with someone who knows, the sam, people that you know. "You can tell his folks he. is looking swell and. is alright. I knew he was over here, but it was one, of those one-in-a-million chances that placed us on the same field." Billy, who was promoted to the rank of technical sergeant the first of March, tells .of riding about "a fairly large city," saying: "I took my first ride in a hansom, or a horse-drawn coach as you would call. it. Two Arabs served as driver and footman. There were five of us in it, andi they drove us around to see all the sights. It only cost us 100 francs, or $2 American. Over here we, are Choice and Boneless Cuts Take More Points; Variety Meats Included The Star made a slight typo- graphical error in setting the head on last week's meat rationing story, and the, editor was. cursing the government for not releasing the point values in time for publi- cation. But, to a certain extent, that redounded, with benefit to some of our readers who have, an abiding faith in The. Star, con-, sidering that what they read in its columns is the gospel truth-and consequently that small minority has sufficient meat to tide them over this week of "the,'Treeze." So we present for the benefit of all, the consumer point values for meats, fats, fish and cheese, per pound., effective March 29-next Monday: Beef ,Steaks-Porterhouse, 8; T-bone, 8; club, 8; rib, 10-inch cut, 7; 'rib, 7-inch cut, 8; sirloin, 8; sirloin (boneless), 9; round, 8; top round, 8; bottom round, 8; round tip, 8; chuck or shoulder, 7; flank, 8.

"If you are content with the present situa- tion and with the present results in industry, in agriculture and in our civilian life," said Secretary of War Stimson, "then I suggest that you go to one of our great army camps and see our boys in uniform working. I sug- gest that you read the detailed dispatches from Tunisia and "the Southwest Pacific about the fighting efforts of our soldiers. I suggest that you compare your comforts in life with theirs, and then ask yourself again -Are you content?" Few civilians .in Gulf county can say they have yet made any all-out war effort. Too many are still more interested in planning personal and "social gains" first. They should * consider those fourteen soldiers drowned re- cently at Carrabelle and those six flyers who were burned to death when their bomber crashed on St. George's Island Those young men gave their all-and they can rightly ask you and me, from beyond the grave .

Says OPA: "This was ah incalcuable saving to the government in money and man hours, and a great conveni- ence to the public." Only the farmer seems to really understand how critical the food situation is and that is why he feels he is doing the patriotic thing when he takes a fighting stand through his organizations, on the vital question of farm labor, supplies, prices and production.

JOE, GULF COUNTY, FLORIDA AGE THREE I PAGE FOUR How Is Your Classification? Complete List Shows Selfctive Ser- vice Classifications From I-A to IV-H In talking with City Clerk Tom- linson last w-.ek, the matter of the various selective service classifi- caiitns came up and neither Clerk Tonilinson nor the editor had any idea how far the classifications went nor what types were, in what classifications. So your editor de- cid-d that if he didn't know any- thing about the matte-r, there must be a lot of other people in the saine boat, sD he wtnt forth ana dug up the list. So much attention is now being given to this matter, it might be a good idea for everyone to clip out the following list for future reference: I-A-Availablc for military serv- ice.

III-B-Man deferred both by rea- son of dependency and activity (civilian activity which is support- ing the war eYfort). III-C--Man deferred both -by rea- son of dependency and augricul- tural occupation or endeavor es- sential to the war effort. ,IV-A--Man d. ,erred by reason of age (over 45).

Your life insurance dollars, invested in War Bonds and In- dustry, help to finance war production. They also help to fight infla- tion because they are not competing for scarce consumer goods. As a contribution to the war effort, life insurance underwriters sold War Bonds in 1942 totaling over 2V2 billion dollars. Jefferson Standard Agents are Equipped to Give You Service Geared to Wartime Needs Under current wartime conditions a sound life insurance program is even more important than before. Jefferson Standard agents are trained life underwriters each well equipped to give you wise coun- sel and timely information that will be helpful in planning your life insurance program.
