Measure Would Split Up County According to Area and Population The Star in this issue carries a notice of intention to apply for special legislation in the present session of the state legislature for authorization to have the board of county commissioners of Gulf county to call and hold an election for the purpose of redistricting Gulf county according to area and population as near as possible, 'The notice for redistricting Is signed by Ben Dickens, Dr. J. R. Norton, C. R. Mahon Jr., C. J. Sul- livan and M. K. Hurlbut. Ever since the St. Joe Paper company mill was established in Port St. Joe this section has had more than two-thirds of the popu- lation of the county, yet has had but one representative on the board' of county commissioners. Other districts, Wetappo with 22 voters, Dalkeflh with 82 voters and Overstreet with 115 voters, each have a member on the board of county commissioners, yet Port St. Joe, with approximately, 1800 voters, has. only one representa- tive on the )board. Wewahitchka, with one member on the board, has .about-400-voterS As the, way things. stand at pres- ent the northern end of the county has a preponderance of power on the board, of commissioners, yet the greater part of the population of the county is situated in the vicinity of Port St. Joe. By redistricting according to population and area, this section would be given a greater voice in matters pertaining to county-wide affairs, which would be no more than just, since the greater portion of the county's population resides here. The petition to redistrict Gulf county according to area and popu- lation will soon be circulated, and it behooves. every resident of this section to. sign it if we are to have equal representation on our board of county commissioners.

S. Marin-es at Guadalcanal put a new wrinkle in their version of a modern battle. The Leather- necks, during a -clash with the Jap- anese, amused themselves by play- ing a phonograph. Marine Gunner W. T. Smith of Brooklyn informed a friend. by letter that the, music was. played to the accompaniment of rifle and shell fire. "When our guns were roaring, shells and, bullets whizzed over us," he wrote. "The phoniograpu, equipped with an amplifier, was playing 'Why Don't We Do This More Often,' 'The Little Man Who Wasn't There' andi a half-dozen other tunes. "Our colonel got a big kick out of the music going on during the battle, and said 'How in the devil can anyone lick an outfit like, us'." Advertising doesn't cost-it PAYS!

Our Country [7' Right or Wrong THEY GIVE THEIR LIVES "In Flanders fields the poppies grow, amid the crosses row on row. To you from failing hands we throw the torch-be yours to hold it high." Back from the battlefields of World War 1 comes that message to us of World War If. The parade of white crosses is starting again. Men are dying- every hour on fields of battle -for us. We are not asked to die-but we ARE asked to dig down deep and lend-lend money to provide the things which will help to win this war-and hold down the volume of crosses. The Second War Loan ends shortly it calls for fighting dollars. It isn't a loan ior defense-it's a loan for attack-renewer, re- peated attack. War bonds aren't pieces of paper.

KITCHEN FATS The nation's housewives, and that includes those of Gulf county, still are falling down on one of their most important and yet one the easiest contributions to the war. They were turning in-even before meat rationing -scarcely a third of the kitchen fat needed for making explosives and for other equally vital military and naval.purposes.

Spokesmen for state, labor and industry all had their say in a three-hour hearing that rattled the rafters one minute and the committees the next. The A. F. of L. and, C. I. 0. joined "clenched fists" as their respec- tive spokesmen denounced each other in a "united" appeal to pro- tect the "working man." The Lady of the House, Mary Lou Baker, found that the term "Gentlemen" as applied 4.o her colleagues was little more than a formality when one mixed with them in open debate on a contro- versial question. In her effort to gain seats for women on Florida juries, she met with stiff opposi- person. That is not enough. Let's step it up! HATS OFF TO OUR MERCHANTS Our local merchants have become the men in the middle-in the middle of that no man's land-where a fighting government collides with a fighting, consuming public. Both of these fighting elements are allies, but like most allies they don't get along too well sometimes. A spoiled public which has been in the habit of getting what it wants wlen it wants it cannot be expected to don the hat- ter of shortages and be led about by dicta- torial decrees withouLt kicking the daylights out of a few regulatory fences. Unfortunately all merchants, including those of Port St. Joe, upon whose shoulders fall the responsibility of explaining and ap- plying the restrictions, are the ones who get kicked most often in the seat of the pants. For that reason it is only fair to give them a pat on the back occasionally. They deserve it. They have shown amazing ability to In- terpret and put into practical operation hun- dreds of new wartime merchandising regula- tions conceived by lawyers and experts with little or no merchandising experience. Most of the regulations carry heavy jail sentences and fines for violation. Laboring in the- shadow of stiff penalties, our merchants work out the rules as they understand them, often without benefit of legal advice, and put then in force. They know it has to be done or the distribution system will break down, bringing disaster. They try to explain this to custom- ers. Neither the public nor most government experts actually comprehend the heavy re- sponsibility which merchants bear in helping to maintain economic stability during the emergency. Consumers should be slow to criticize our merchants for inconveniences over which they have no control. The government should constantly seek to make burdensome restric- tions less onerous. And both the public and the government should be less quick to accuse retailers of evil intent when one of ten thou- sand rules has been inadvertently violated. -.- Whale meat, dark red and tasting some- thing like beef, will be available in west coast markets this year, says OPA.

To be quite honest, this Certificate of -Merit bel songs to the people of this section, but this was the only practical way that the United States "T'reasury De-' partmnent had of showing it's appreciation for their purchases of War Savings Bonds and Stamps. We believe the people of this section appreciate this honor as much as we do, and wve ea nestly hope that their purchases of War Savings Bonds and Stamps ,will be at least double that of last year.

Will YOU Be One of the Eight? The Star is endeavoring to comply with the request of the United States government to conserve news- print, and in order to do so, we are holding our present subscription list to the number of papers distributed on January 1, 1943. This means that the only way we can put on 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 six weeks we have cut off 91 sub- scribers who were in arrears.. Forty-iwo of these have come in and renewed their subscriptions, and the names of 41 new subscribers have been added to our mailing list during that period. We can still place 8 new subscribers (or old subscribers who de- sire to renew their subscirptions) on our mailing list. THE STAR "Your Home Town Newspaper" .%-. .,- - - .~- ....
