Suspension of Horse Racing
Results In $3,500,000 Loss;
Many New Sources of In-
come Are Being Discussed.

By the, end of this month all of
us should know about what taxes,
we will have to pay during fie
next two years to finance the
functions of our state government.
The legislature which convenes
next Tuesday probably won't let
many days go by without giving
indications of revenue sources
likely to be tapped to offset a
$3,500,000 loss that resulted from
suspension of horse racing.
Governor Holland states that
much of that will have to be re-
placed, because it was used for old
age pensions and to help counties
with local government. He sayb
the money should come from new
revenue sources and not from any
changes upward in present tax
levies, but he hasn't announced
what recommendations he will
make. ,
Legislators are talking about
many sources in their informal
discussions during the few days
before opening of the session. The
conversation runs from a general

CEILING PRICES ON
THREE VEGETABLES

OPA Slaps Top Prices on Fresh
Cabbage, Snap Beans and Peas

The regional IPA office Wed-
nesday placed dollars andl- cents
ceiling prices on fresh cabbage,
snap beans and peas for the pur-
pose of "correcting inequalities" of
present controls diverting the
vegetables "away from Southeast-
ern markets to other markets
where prices are higher."
,The effective area of the order
includes Florida, Virginia, North
Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia/
Alabama, Misisssippi and Tennes-
see.
Prices are based on mark-ups
from the following "country ship-
per prices": Cabbage, $5.85 per
hunderdweight (5.85 cents per
pound); snap beans $5.75 per
bushel (20.5 cents per pound.) and
peas, $4 per bushel (14.2 cents per
pound).
In the case of retailers, the max-
imum mark-up for cabbage is 50
per cent, and for snap beans and
peas 39 per cent.

ALL-STAR BAND TO PLAY
AT PORT WEDNESDAY


All Streams To Remain Open
Through Efforts of E. Clay
Lewis; Wimico and Dead
Lakes Banned To Fishing

Good news to fishing enthusiasts
of Gulf county-and that includes
practically the entire population,
both white and colored-is re-
leased this week by E. Clay Lewis
J., legislative representative from
thia county.
Representative Lewis informed
the editor of The Star last Friday
night that he had finally persuaded
the state fish andl game commis-
sion to do away with the two-
month closed season on fresh wa-
ter fishing in Gulf county, since it
was unfair to the, .people here, as
the remainder of the state has, no
closed season. Naturally, this does
not allow the taking of bass, since
the season on these game fish is
closed all over the state, from
March 15 to May 19.
Excepted from 'lifting of the ban
are the Dead Lakes and ake
Wimico, which are the principal
spawning grounds for bream and
shellcrackers. However, fishing is
permitted within one-half mile of
the mouth of all streams emptyThg
into these bodies of water, with
the exception of the Chipola river,
which -is closed q .Jl n~p with the
Dead Lakes.
This means that all rivers,
canals, creeks and bayous in the
county-with the exceptions, noted
above-are open to fishermen who
desire to augment their meat ra-

Our Country 7 Right or Wrong

WHAT WILL THEY THINK OF US?
To Port St. Joe now come welcome visitors
from the army camps at Tyndall Field, Carra-
belle and Apalachicola, not to mention our
own boys furloughed home from the training
camps-often for their final visit before de-
parting for service on distant battlefields.
The number of such visitors will increase
as the months move on. They give us a
chance to,see, what they, after their months
of services, are like. Our verdict has long been
clear. They come back straight and strong,
proving the diligence of their training for the
work in hand. Our men home on furlough
give good account of themselves.
But what do these visitors to the home
front tell their comrades when they return
to the fighting ranks? There is something
that might give us cause for worry. They re-
port to us that the work of training and fight-
ing goes on well. The men in the Army, Navy
and Marine Corps are giving all they have.
Theirs is the hard and dangerous task. That
task is being done-well done. Will they be
able to report to their comrades as favorably
of us who form the home front?
What- will their comrades in arms think'
when they hear of us moaning over not hav-
ing enough gasoline to go fishing whenever
we feel the desire? What will they think of
our whining over coffee? What will these
men who face the bullets think of those who
grumble over taxes and food rationing?
There's food for thought, you people on
the home front in Port St. Joe. It's up to us
to show these visitors that we're endeavoring
to do our part while they risk their lives that
we may continue to be a free people.
It behooves us to pitch in, quit grumbling
and be on our good behavior, not "outwardly
'alone, but deep in our hearts.

yEAH-WE WONDER?
Wonder what happened to all that talk we
heard some time back about drafting labor
and capital if another war popped up?
Seems to us that laborers were to receive
the same pay as the men in the service and
were to be furnished board and room and
clothing, just like the soldiers and sailors.
And capital was to be drafted to turn out
the tools of war and receive about two per
cent return on the investment.
Yeah-we've often wondered in the past
year or two.

Doc Norton told one of his patients the
other day: "Your chances are fair, but if I
were you I wouldn't start any continued
stories."

Some women get married just to have a
man around the house to fuss at.

Looks like horse steaks are going .to be
mistakes as far as most people are concerned.

In these days of meat shortage, what every
fiamfly needs is a magician to pull rabbits out
of a hat.-Titusville Star-Advocate.


ACROSS THE TRACKS
Every few weeks we read an interview
with former President Hoover, published in
the daily press, in which he states "the food
situation is grave" or "serious."
He probably didn't know it, but back in
1931 and 1932 the food situation, for a great
number of Americans, was really serious. Of
course this did not affect Mr. Hoover or his
friends, but now that we have rationing and
he cannot have his two chickens in his pot,
the situation is "grave" or "serious."
We appreciate the fact that we are faced
with a food shortage and we must do without
many things we are accustomed to eat, but
we will venture to say that when the ration-
ing of food reaches its limit, just before or
just after the war is finished, we will all be
eating better than one-third of the nation was
eating in 1932.
When we hear people grumble because
they can no longer eat a two-pound steak at
a meal, we smile with great satisfaction be-
cause they are learning how the fellow across
the tracks felt when he couldn't get one
pound of stew meat for his family of six. We
know it hurts them not to be able to get and
eat more than is good for them, and we also
know that most of Hoover's friends still get
-their big steaks and everything that goes
with them, but they must patronize the black
market to do it, and they may even get
caught at it, which would be much worse
than having to go on WPA as far as self-
respect is concerned.
Yes, it is a "serious" and "grave" situation
when the common laborer across the tracks
can buy just as much meat, coffee or other
food as the politician who fives on the bounty
that labor and capital produce. But it is only
serious to the politician, and it does him good
to find that food is only important when you
can't get it.-Highlands County News.

THIS AWFUL PROSPERITY.
Prosperity is. threatening the very exist-
ence of bureaucracy and it is a nightmare
of national adversity.
Witness the case of John H. Fahey, fed-
eral home loan bank commissioner, who is
so frightened at the prospect of people get-
ting out of debt, in which case they no longer
will need his HOLC, that he wants something
done about it. Banks are taking ovve' too
many of the good HOLC loans to suit Mr.
Fahey. These are loans on private homes.
This brings up the history of HOLC. It
was created by congress early in the depres-
sion as an emergency measure, with 'the ex-
press provision that it be liquidated "when
its purposes have been accomplished."
With indebtedness now discouraged as a
national policy, and at a minimum because of
universal employment and the shortage ol
consumer goods to purchase on credit, and l
with HOLC admitting excessively high oper-
ating cost, Mr. Fahey's remarks take on ,
added significance.
The question boils down to one of finding
a formula under which a federal emergency
agency can be dislodged, once it becomes en-
trenched. If John Fahey of HOLC and Au-
brey Williams of NYA can find arguments to I
keep their large office forces and high over- I
head going, how can we ever expect to dis- I
pose of an emergency9' agency?-Janesville
(Wis.) Gazette.

axes, but the pleasure driving ban
hat killed horse racing was the
tiffest blow. Old age pensioners
got $2.000,000 of the race track
getting taxes audl the counties got
1,500,000. It is pointed, out by
ome legislators that a small sav-
ng can be made by doing away
with the state racing commission
or the duration now that racing
as been killed.
There are advance Indications of
lot of revenue bills being intro-
uced within the first week of the
legislative session. All these will
o to the finance and, taxation


committees.
Some new source will have to be
tapped if old. age assistance is not
to be reduc'di, because the $2,000,-
000 obtained from racing taxes in
the 1941-42 season will Ibe ex-
pended by June 1, and there was
no horse racing in the winter just
passed.
The so-called "seventh cent" tax
an each gallon of gasoline, origin-
ally levied in 1931 as a two-year
emergency measure (and -which
has been with us as an "emer-
gency" ever since), undoubtedly
will be re-enacted-and possibly
boosted another cent. Its revenue
is divided between the general
revenue fund and the public
school system.
The revenue from six cents of
the gasoline tax goes to the state
road department and retirement of
county and district road bonds by
the ,state board of administration.
The heavy- decrease In gasoline
consumption hasn't seriously af-
fected these departments because
there has been little .material
available for road construction
with state funds, and the board of
administration had enough surplus
to. carry on its operations for some
time without any de-faults in pay-
ing bond maturities.

tion with bream, shellcrackers;
croppies and warmouth perch.
What it means to some people
is well illustrated by the follow-
ing: The editor went to the colored
quarters Saturday to get a pint of
fishing worms. WVhen he informed
the old colored woman from whom
he purchased the bait that there
would not be a closed season on
bream fishing, she said, "Pralse
de Lawd, now us poor folks'es kin
git fish when we can't git no
meat."
Today "poor folkses" are rather
hard to find, but with meat getting
scarcer and scarcer a lot of us
will be glad that we can go out
and' catch a mess of fish to aug-
ment the, meat that we aren't go-
ing to get.

* A VALUABLE

DOCUMENT
Your doctor's prescription is a valuable
document. More than a piece of paper
-bearing queer words and odd characters,
it represents his years of training, expe-
rience and skill applied directly to your
individual case. As such, the prescription
deserves the care and accuracy exercised
by our registered pharmacists and the
purity and uniformity of the prescription
chemicals and drugs we dispense.,

WHAT FARMER MUST
DO IN SELLING MEAT
Required to Secure Permit From
War Board and Collect Points

Now that point rationing covers
meats, the Gulf county farmer who
slaughters any animals for selling
off the, fanm should beaa- in mind
all of these salient facts:
A farm slaughterer must make
contact with the county war
board. This is the paramount
thing. All others follow after.
He must obtain a slaughter per-
mit from' the county war board,
and, to qualify for a permit, he
must be operating under federal,
state, county or city inspection, om
must certify that he has adequate
sanitary and other facilities for
slaughtering.
He must furnish to the boaru
information about his 1941 slaugh-
ter; if unable to do this, he may
either accept a quota for 1943 of
300 pounds of meat to be sold, or
sell the meat from three animals.
including not moire than one head
of cattle.
Each farm slaughterer is re-
-unired to collect ration points; he
must report 'all meat sold or trans-
fzrred by him; he must abide by
1irice ceilings and. must grade beef,
veal, lamb and mutton according
toi standards of the U. S. Depart-
iment of Agriculture.


'ARABIAN NIGHTS' IS
FASCINATING FILM
Hollywood magic reaches lofty
new heights in "Arabian Nights,"
in Technicolor, playing Sunday
and Monday ait the Port theatre.
The, story, dealing with the ro-
mantic adventures of Sherazade,
exotic dancer of Bagdad, moves
swiftly against a vivid Oriental
background. It is a gleaming pan-
orama of desert warfare and slave
conquest, the plot highlighting
the rivalry of two princely broth-
-'s, Leif Erikson and Jon Hall,
over the affection of the dancer,
played by Maria Montez.
A multitude of Hollywood's most
beautiful girls are used in the lav-
ish harem and slave market scenes
and others are used for spectacular
dancing scenes.
Others in the cast include Saibu,
Billy Gilbert and' Edgar Barrier.

HOME-MADE BROODER
EASILY CONSTRUCTED
A simple brooder which will ac-
commodate from 50 to 75 chicks
until tney are five, or six weeks
old can be constructed by any per-
son wanting to raise poultry on a
small scale, and apparently there
are a lot of people in Port St. Joe
who are doing that, judging by the
number of chicles being sold by
tl' St. Joe Hardware company.
Complete plans with illustra-
tions may be had by writing to
the Agricultural Extension Serv-
ice, Gainesville, Fla., for Circular

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 Star is discon-
tinuing all subscriptions that are not paid in advance and
is limiting the number of subscribers that will be carried
for the duration.
We are in position to accept approximately 100 new
subscriptions, and when that quota'is filled a waiting list
will be set up and as present subscribers discontinue
their paper those at the top of this list will become
eligible as subscribers.
It is cur desire to keep every subscriber on our mailing
list, buit it is obvious that we cannot continue to mail
The Star to those who do not pay up their subscription
at expiration. We will give our old subscribers every
possible consideration, but we must also give considera-
tion to, those who have never been subscribers to The;
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
STAR, BUT HAVE BEEN
ON THE MAILING LIST,
SO TODAY-TOMORROW


A SUBSCRIBER TO THE
CONSIDERING GETTING
YOU HAD BETTER DO
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.
