This means that the only way we can put 6n new subscribers is by cut- ting off those old subscribers who have failed to re- new their subscriptions within two weeks after being notified. The postoffice department has always required that subscriptions be paid in advance, but it has been our habit in the past to carry subscribers whom we knew would eventually pay up. This we can no longer do and still give a "break" to new subscribers. During the past month we have cut off 57 sub- scribers who were in .arrears. Twelve of these -have come in and renewed their subscriptions, and the names of 21 new subscribers have beer. added to our mailing list during that period.

This man was taught not to drink water D DRINKING WATER IS'SCARCE in North Africa. And what there is, is likely to be bad. So before our soldiers landed there, they were weaned away from water. A dash of iodine in their drinking water served the double purpose of disinfecting it, and making it taste awful. By the time the boys landed in Africa, they'd lost all taste for water except in safe, prepared drinks. SThe favorite prepared drink is lemonade.

JOE GULF CUT FR PAGE THREE You'll Be Seeing Stars At the Port "Star Spangled Rhythm," PlayTng At Port Sunday and Monday, Has Everything If ever there was a picture to make every movie fan happy, it's Paramount's unparalleled, musical comedy, "Star Spangled Rhythm," playing at the, Port theater Sun- day and Monday with just about everything imaginable in the way of entertainment and just about everyone on the Paramount lot. It is without doubt the best and big- *gest show in Hollywood( history- a feast for eyes, ears, heart and funnybone. Any film which utilizes the di- versified talents of more than 40 stars, giving them all a chance to strut their stuff and making that stuff an integral part of the story, really has something! And that is exactly what "Star Spangled Rhythm" does. Among the 40 stars you'll find Bing Crosby, Bob Hope, Fred Mac- Murray, Franchot Tone, Ray Mill- and, Victor Moore-, Dorothy La- mour,' Paulette Goddard, Vera 'Zorina, 1i-ary Martin, Betty Hinut- ton, Dick Powell, Edidie Bracken, Veronica Lake, Alan Ladd, Wil- liam Bendix, Rochester, Macdonala iCarey, Jerry Colonna, and more, and more!! .Don't get the idea that "Star 'Spangled Rhythm" is just a revue --it isn't. It tells the story of Vic- tor Moore, Paramount studio gate- man, who has deceived, his sailor -son, Eddie. Bracken, into believing -that he runs the studio. When Ed- d.ie shows up at the studio with a -group of friends, something dras- tic has to be done, and Moore and Betty Hutton, his switchboard op- erator friend, do it. Before very long, every one of the stars' is -helping them do it, and it all adds up to really hilarious fun. All the stars perform against a background of music, dancing and comedy, making ".Star4S.panglea Rhythm" the greatest entertain- -ment of its kind. Advertising doesn't cost-it PAYS!

Our Country t"., Right or Wrong A PERSONAL CHALLENGE We on the home front face one of the most personal challenges of this war to date. That challenge is whether or not we are willing to sacrifice to a sufficient extent to lend our government -thirteen billion dollars within the next few weeks. To do the job, you and'I, and everyone we know, are going to have to dig down in our sock-to dig out some of those dollars we have salted away for a rainy day-as well as too take a good hunk out of this month's pay check or other source of income. This is ,a job that has to be done. Sure, we on the home front are feeling the pinch of war-if you want to call it that. We have gasoline rationing, food rationing, higher taxes, and a lot of other little discomforts. But they are nothing compared with the agonies faced daily by our men-men from Gulf county among them-out there on the fighting fronts of the world. Yes, we know that this constant demand for more money out of our pockets and out of .our pay checks-an increasing amount each rionth-is monotonous. But so is sitting in a fox-hole or lying in a slit-trench day af- *ter day, slogging- through the hell of a hu- mid jungle or that of Sahara sand. Your editor knows what it is like, although his ex- perience was more with mud, snow and rain, and he feels that no matter how much we do here at home, it will not be enough when we think of what our men are going through. Our sons, friends, brothers, husbands and others we know are doing that for us. They are facing something more terrible than cut- ting down on a few things that we once thought were essentials to the American stan- dard of living in order to do it, too. As Sec- retary Morgetnhau has said: "Shall we be more tender with our dollars than with the lives of our sons?" This Second War Loan now under way is an order to the home front to go on a new offensive. Your dollars are the weapons in this attack. They will make possible the pass- ing of the ammunition to those boys of ours up there in the front lines. To win this war is going to cost more and more money-and more and more lives. But the price of free- dom. is high-has always been high. We can not, we dare not let our fighting men down. You can't let George do this for you. You must pitch in with your dollars. Just keep in mind those boys in the front lines. They give their lives-you lend your money! Don't wait for someone to come around and ask you to do it. Do' it today-and do it until you feel worthy of them-it's a personal challenge to you! Wonder what our men living in deserts and jungles, battling night and day, think when they get reports of congressmen fight- ing for their blocs, playing politics as usuil, while they risk their lives to save the kind of government this kind of congressman makes? The little things may not matter so much ---but they can make plenty of racket. ONLY ONE EYE ON THE FLAG Millions of Americans are doing only half- hearted fighting in the nation's greatest and most important war. They have only one eye on the flag, and the, other eye-the best one -is on the pocketbook. They attempt to ac- complish that impossible feat of eating their cake and having it, too, as they undertake a Victory March down Easy -Street. The curse of complacency, unconcern, over- confidence, greed, selfishness and partisan politics that is rampant all the way from Washington to Podunk, is condemning our country to a long war that will exact tre- mendous, shocking cost in lives, suffering, sorrow, sacrifice, material and money. While American soldiers, marines and air- men fight, suffer and die in foreign lands to defend the American way of life, these sel- fish citizens continue to "get theirs while the getting is good." While the guns of a thou- sand warships roar their defiance of the Axis threat either to rule or destroy and sailors die, these "let George do it" citizens go their selfish way with a "So what!" attitude. The only time they evidence any interest in this life and death struggle is when something happens to interfere slightly with their pleas- ures, conveniences, business, job or everyday life. Most of us, it seems, have yet to learn that the road to victory is a tortuous one that leads through a hell of blood, sweat and tears. To travel it successfully, we must keep BOTH eyes open on the flag as it leads to war. Our country must be the master, for we can have but one master in this crisis if we are not to have a foreign master thrust upon us.

REMOVE THE MILLSTONE NOW The Florida National Bank of Jacksonville has been running some striking newspaper advertisements on the necessity for changing the federal income tax laws to meet present- day needs of the taxpayers. One of its recent advertisements said: "Remember how a few years ago the gov- ernment solemnly talked about 'Freedom from debt freedom from want free- dom from fear, etc.?' "The 'Freedoms' theory is a great one-but why doesn't Uncle Sam practice it with in- come taxes? Instead of freeing his taxpayers from debt and fear, the present income tax system perpetuates a peculiar type of peon- age because the taxpayer is never out of debt.' "Last year's income taxes hang around his neck like a millstone. Let's adopt the pay-as- you-go plan now and make the 'Freedoms' an actuality rather than a pretty theory." Lewiston, Idaho, banned slot and pinball machines, and Citizen Ed Klonick told re- porters the town might as well be folded up in a tent and given back to the'Indians. Pretty soon he got a letter from a Nez Perce In- dian: "We don't want it. You just fold it up and keep it." A married man living with his wife all the time; gets an income tax exemption of $600, while a single man gets $500. A difference of $100 for living with a wife. There ought to be a new setup.

"They Give Their Lives-You Lend Your Money" s BY GEORGE S. BENSON Pr es deo t-vaCinfy CoUey Searey. Arkadsas Endowed Inertia Approximately 2,000,000 men have left the farms of the United States to enter war and war industries since the Pearl Harbor raid. The only thing that can replace the con- sequent shortage of manpower is power equipment. This statement was madd in middle January by Rep.- Leslie C. Arends of Illinois on the floor of the House of Repre- sentatives in Washington. The short- age of farm machinery is well known to every farmer. On a farm regularly using horses, ene man might do nearly two men's work with a tractor, but the few new tractors being built will never re- place the worn-out tractors this year, not to mention farm teams. Farm hands are being imported to the United States from Latin Amer- ica. Every farm worker is a real help but not all' imported laborers are suitable for all kinds of farm work. Busy Keeping Idle Nothing seems more apparent to a serious observer than that liter- ally thousands of government em- ployees in admittedly essential in- dustries are having a hard time try- ing to justify the existence of their highfalutin jobs. Read this recent utterance by Rel. Forest A. Har- ness of Indiana on the floor of the House. "There is hardly a Federal agen- cy, emergency or regular, where the pruning knife cannot be used to great advantage We have one civilian employee for every three men in fighting uniform. I am sure we can weed out upward- of a million Federal Employees who can go into the essential private fields now crying for help." An enterprising planner in the Na- tional Capital recently got up some cardboard 'signs to be used in over- crowded rooming houses for the pro- tection of night workers who sleep *inh'ddtffie. The sign read: "Qfiiet Pledse-A war worker is-resting here." But the sigfis',found an unexpected use. Just for lhorsegplay, some jok- er took 'the signs 'to certain big al- phabetical agenciegad posed them around'on de9'7o f1irbeaucrhts who seemed to have nothing to do. Ban- ter on this subject 'goes on in Wash- ington endlessly. Jtst the same, it is a vitally serious matter. There is a government bureau in Washington whose job it is to select occasionally some item of food that appears to bean especially good bar- gain anrd recommend its immedi- ate use by housewives. The selec- tion of' any product implies that its supply exceeds the demand, that the price is right and that eating it up is a *patriotic' act. There is'another bureau in Wash- ington wh6se duty it is to keep a Idok-out for'fdod scarcity. It pays attention to specific items in which a shortage seems to be developing and urges that farmers increase their production of such things to improve -their profit per acre, also as an act of patriotism. Dry Edible Beans The whole thing looks pretty good on paper bt:? in practice (to coin a phrase) it shows human fallibility. For instance, on January 16 news- papers announced a new "Victory Food Special" to American house- wives, namely, dry edible beans. The hint was broad-too many beans on hand. Specialists wrote blurbs of praise about the food value of beans. Experts in cooking published formulas for making beans taste good. Wives and mothers, bent on service to home and country, sallied forth to buy beans. The next day, January 17, an offi- cial press release by the U. S. De- partment of Agriculture began urg- ing farmers far and near to increase their acreage of dry edible beans; 500,000 acres more this year than last, a gain of about 17.5 per cent from 2.8 million to 3.3 million acres. A bonus per acre to farmers plant- ing above a certain minimum was announced. At the same time a 25c increase in the "support price" was proclaimed for new No. 1 beans at country points. Not Hard to Keep This is a sample of planned econ- omy. One planner sees a shortage coming, another one sees a surplus. If beans were things that would not keep, like bananas or cantaloupes, you could admit that the planners, after all, might be seeing eye-to-eye. But beans will keep indefinitely in a clean dry place. If there is to be a shortage; if the Army is going to need beans in a few weeks to win the war, there is no point to choking the immediately available supply down the necks of the civilian popu- lation. This is not a preachment against beans. They are good food. I am offering no protest against setting up inducements and making- arbi- trary price bids to stimulate pro- duction of any military necessity. My protest is only against bun- combe. A Washington correspond- ent I know, remarked bitterly, "It looks like the planners will have to have a co-ordnator to keep them from playing both ends against the middle." Will Congressman Harness' sug- gestion come to anything? Can we thin out the idle minds and bodies in Washington and send back a mil- lion people to the food producing farms? The best part of a girl's life is that which comes between the lipstick and the broomstick. Aid to Enemy "Any American who wilfull~y^ neglects to pay his taxes on time or to invest every cent he can in War Bonds is surely giv- ing aid and comfort to the enemy We have a job to do and wv are all called for service to our country. Our dollars are called to service too. Let us all ask ourselves, 'Shall we be more tender with our dollars than with the lives of our sons?' Secretary Morgenthau.

Furthermoer, according to Com- missioner Sullivan, one of /hese port officials made the statement that "the air of Port St. Joe stank," that his job is "to keep oil moving from Port St. Joe and Pan- ama City from Texas, and that hs was going to keep the oil moving if he had to see the whole of Port St. Joe out in the middle of the bay." When Chief of Police Marvin 0. Freeman learned that Hudson had been dismissed he immediately re- signed his position, stating, ac- cording to witnesses, that "if sol- diers, sailors or marines are al- lowedi to come in here and beat up my police officers and the city re- fuses to back up these officer when .they endeavor to enforce the laws or protect themselves from bodily harm, then I feel that I am 'a man without a country', and am handing in my resignation." As a result of this series of in- cidents, a special meeting of the, board of city commissioners was held Tuesday night and, the entire matter threshed out by the., com- missioners. Commissioner Sullivan, at the meeting, outlined. -the matter as seT forth above *and made the state- ment that he and Mr. Conklin had deemed it necessary to ask for Hudson's badge in the interest of harmony and co-operation with the government authorities. Mayor Sharit took the stand that Hudson should not have been dis- missed, stating: "These men off 'the ships do, or attempt to do, whatever they like, without any consideartion for our community while they are here. These men particularly, Ibeing visitors, should be on their good, behavior while here instead of getting drunk and raising sand. "I d6n't uphold these happenings but I dbn't blame Mr. Hudson for acting as he did as, according to his statement, he was being stran- gled by one man and another wag standing by with a stick of wood waiting for a chance to use it. I also feel that the sailor is better off with a flesh wound in his side, rather than if he had killed Mt Hudson and then been caught and electrocuted for.the death of a po- lice officer. "I feel that we should give our officers the complete backing and -support of the city in carrying out -their duties. "I further believe that Mr. Free- -man should not have quit his post when Mr. Hudson was suspended. but should have been more than ,ever on the jodb during this time. .very time someone turns in a complaint, concluded the mayor, "we won't be able to keep a police force I feel that, with no other officers oil tie job or available, .hat tue city would be making a mistake in letting Mr. Hudson go, and I move that he be reinstated subject to dismissal at the will of l.e commission." "I don't believe in having the i.my or navy or any other outside ;roups coming in here and telling us how to run our city," said Com- nissioner Sullivan, "but I dio feel -at we should try to work in har- nony with these outside groups, nd if they feel that closer co-op- eration will result through the dis- charge of Mr. Hudson, then I fa- vor it. "I don't think it fair to Mr. Hud- son or to the city to reinstate him as the outsiders who come here vill continue to have trouble with, him. I think highly of Mr. Hudson md admire him, but i have but one duty, and. that is to see that the best interests of the city of Port St. Joe are served," concluded, Mr. Sullivan. "Allow me to suggest," said Mr. Sharit, "that the manager of the port at Panama City be invited 'mire to talk the matter over with is at luncheon. ''m going to write ;im, asking him to eat with us and also ask him to come here and ex- plain just what he means by say- ing that 'Port St. Joe stinks'." Mr. Conklin interrupted at this point, saying: "I suggest that Mr. Hudson be reinstated until after the meeting with the port manager Tuesday, in order that the city have police protection during the interim, since we have been un- able to secure men to serve. This doesn't mean that I am altering my decision as to suspending Mr. Hudson. unless it can b.e pointed out to me that I am unalterably wrong, but in the interest of pub- lic safety and welfare I will agree, to his reinstatement."

Reinstatement of Officer Hudson was concurred to >by Commis- oiuuer Conklin, but -Commissioner aillivan stood his ground that Or- icer Hudson should be suspended for the best interests of the city. Officer Hudson was present at the meeting, andi when called upon to make a statement, said, in part: "'If it comes to the point that a bunch of drunks and outlaws can come here and, tell your police or- ficers what they can do and can't :lo, what's the use of having a po- lice force? Why not just turn the streets over to .them?" Chief of Police Freeman was not present at the meeting. Lieut. Hughes Is Visitor Lieut. Henry G.
