GENOA, 'ITALY-PASSED BY CENSORS-In one -of the first pictures to reach this country of bombed Italy, a labor corps of the "Servizio Lavoro" marches through ruins in a street on the Italian Riviera on their way to clear up the debris after the bombing of Genoa. The "Servizio Lavoro" has been organized in Italy to carry on demolition and repair work after RAF raids. So devastating are the RAF raids that it is necessary to make these workers mobile and draft them from inland places to large cities, targets of the RAF raids, lli IIIIIII llllllliiiiiii lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllli'__-: Sitting In With - the Lawmakers By RUSSELL KAY (Florida Press Association) -- Legislators and bureaucrats juggled figures last week with the dexterity ofa 'Ringling troupe as welfare board's Hiatt fought desperately to establish proof of the economical administration of his department, claiming oper- ating costs of less than 8 per cent. Senator S-heldon took his turn with the mathematical In- dian clubs to prove such costs were nearer 20 per cent. The Shands committee settled for approximately 12y2 ,per cent. Taxpayers learned that it cost around $1 to give away $4 of state money, and began to un- derstand why the aged and the blind and the orphans go with- out shoes while the officials charged with "looking -after" them ride in shiny automobiles and dine on planked steaks. To correct the 'evil, Shelddn would limit state welfare board costs to a maximum of 5 per cent, the same as does the federal gov- ernment, claiming such action would mean"a million or more a year for the old folks, dependent children and the blind. Shands, whose'committee has been stalk- ing state boards, bureaus and commissions like ; troop of Com- mandos, is reported. Just about ready to strike. 'Grim -faced house committees have been chewing over the financial cud until they have developed a Masty case of indigestion. Tax- payers, mildly interested, are watching tlhe billowing smoke and wondering whether or not there really is a fire. It appears that Florida legisla- tors are just about fed up with federal bureaucrats and lawyer- crats as are the people, for twice this week-they slapped down the ears of high-poweired Washington lobbyists sent down here by fed- eral agencies to crack whips and hold hoops for lawmakers, to jump through.

Dollars and Cents Ceiling Prices On Foods Will Be Set Retail Prices On .Meats Will Be-, come Effective Monday; Can- ning Sugar Available Taking its first major step since the president's order to "hold the line," the OPA has begun estab- lishing specific dollars and cents ceiling prices on food items for stores in given communities, ac- cording to an announcement yes- terday by C. G. Costin, chairman of the Gulf County War Price and Rationing Boairdl. "Prices are being set on a com- munity basis," Costin said. "Eaca community, under present plans, ultimately will have its own. set o0 specific maximum prices, known to the buyer andm seller alike. The first of these prices went into ef- fect in 15 southeastern cities, last Monday morning. Included were Jacksonville and Tampa. "By translating ceiling prices into i specific dollars, and cents maximums which every housewife will know, we are placing in eaca housewife's hands the weapon to hold the price line," Cosmtin went o.n. "I want to make it very clear that the new community prices represent the highest price that any store in,a given locality can charge for an item. Any store may charge a lower price," he declared. ,Specific dollars and. cents prices for retail cuts-of rbef, veal, lamb and mutton, postponed for further review last month, will become ef- fective next Monday, May 17, Mr. Costing also stated. i Originally scheduled to go into ,effect April 15, the prices estab- t listed at that time were withheld for further consideration in the light of the president's "hold the iine" order. The revised' schedule is expected to show prices lower by from one to three cents than those set in the original pricing order. Announcementf'of the procedure by whish housewives will obtain sugar for home canning of this year's fruit crop was also made flwy Mr. Costin. As previously an- nounced in The Star, sugar will be allotted on the same basis as last year-that is, one pound for each four quarts (or eight pounds) ot finished fruit, and by essentially the same procedure, a written ap- plication to the local board'. A top limit of 25 pounds of su- gar per person per yea' is estab- lished in the new regulations. Mr. Costin emphasized, however, that the 25-pound figure is a maximum, to be granted only in the relatively few cases where a large amount of fruit will be put up.

Our Country Right or Wrong ARE WE LETHARGIC OR- For a month past the editor of The Star, through front page stories, the editorial col- umns and by contacts on the streets, has been endeavoring to create interest in the idea of post-war development of trade and industry for Port St. Joe and Gulf county.,.So far his efforts seem to be a total loss, though a seed may have been planted here and there which might blossom forth at a. later date-we hope. We've stopped a dozen of our leading citi- zens and asked them what they thought about the matter. The general reply has been: "Yup, yup. A splendid idea. Who's go- ing to go about doing it?" They apparently want to sit back and "let George do it," not realizing that if anything is to be done about it we've all got to pitch in and do' our bit. Things like this cause us to wonder some- times whether the people here are just na- turally lethargic or whether they're like the farmer's old mule. A man wanted to buy the mule and went out to the pasture to look at it. The farmer said it was in fine condition, but as he spoke. the mule walked head-on into a tree. "Why, the animal's blind," said the prospective buyer. "Nope," replied the farmer, "He ain't blind-he just don't give a damn." BLACK MARKETS So far, in Port St. Joe, we haven't ruh across any black markets, but they are in op- eration elsewhere and the number is growing. Black markets are operated and patronized by dishonest consumers and dealers who are willing to rob our armed forces and their neighbors. There are four current kinds: The overcharge black market which sells at prices above legal ceilings. The insanitary black market which sells meat which has not been properly inspected for disease or graded for qual- ity. False grading above actual quality is also a device for violating price ceilings. The over-quota black market which kills more livestock than department of agriculture quotas permit. This, obvi- ously, diverts to black markets customers meat intended for our armed forces and fighting allies. The ration-free black market-which (always for a premium) will sell meat, gasoline and groceries without collecting ration stamps. There's only one reason for these markets, and we might as well place the final blame where it belongs-on consumers who think so little of their country that they place their personal wishes above supplies for our armed forces and war workers. Now we know the war can't last much longer. The Japs, reopening the coca-cola factory in Batavia, have changed the name of the drink it will produce to "Sumarisi." They can't do anything, like that to coca-cola and get away with it.-Mclntosh (Ga.) News. Keep smiling-and buy War Bonds! ENTHUSIASM WANING The. enthusiasm manifested in the Civilian Defense Corps, the Air Warning Service and the Red Cross surgical dressing room when these activities were first organized has waned to such an extent that all three are practice ly defunct as far as we can see. True, there are the usual "faithful few" showing up at the A. W. S. observation towei and the Red Cross room, but these few who accept responsibility -in the proper manner cannot carry on work which is supposed to be done by fifty or a hundred persons. For the benefit of those ladies who have worked at the surgical dressing room in the past or who intended to do some work there but never quite got around to it, we would like to point out that our boys are still battl- ing the enemy all over the world and thou- sands of them are getting wounded and need- ing surgical dressings. Maybe your son or husband isn't on combat duty right now, but he probably will be before this is over-and one of them may be brought to a field hos- pital badly wounded and lack for surgical care because of a shortage of dressings that might have been at hand had you and others done your bit in advance. You men and women who have quit your job-only two hours a week-at the airplane spotting tower, how would you react if an enemy plane flew over and dumped a load of bombs on the gasoline terminal and paper mill (it's a fair possibility, for both Japan and Germany have recently threatened to bomb our coastal cities, and they would pick those without anti-aircraft defenses, such as Port St. Joe), and you remarked to yourself "Why that plane came over during the shift I used to fill at the tower-what's the mat- ter with that chief observer, why doesn't he keep someone in the tower all the time?" There you are. Your chief observer has begged and pleaded with the people here un- til he's become so disgusted that he says "Wotinell's the use-if these people can't un- derstand that these jobs are not only for the good of all of us but for their own welfare, too, let 'em fry in their own lazy fat when an incendiary bomb comes plummeting through the roof of their home some night." These tasks are yours and yours and yours. If you don't do them, who will? ENEMY PROPAGANDA Anybody in Port St. Joe who believes that they've never swallowed or repeated any Axis propaganda? If there is, it's a miracle, for reports and rumors hatched out by Berlin and Tokyo are sometimes so subtle and in- siduous that they are straightway taken to be facts. These stories are started in all sorts ol ways. One of the simplest methods is by way of short-wave radio. You may hear a report on the short-wave, repeat it for the purpose of illustrating Nazi propaganda technique to a person who will repeat it with less expla- nation to someone else who will repeat it without reference to its source except as .something heard on the radio. And then the story goes sweeping out in ever-widening circles as being an actual fact. Other stories and rumors are started by Axis sympathizers and agents and generally the same rumor starts at a dozen different points in the nation at the same time. A good rule to follow in respect to any ru- mor, report, story or wise-crack affecting any of our allies is to stop it promptly by refusing to repeat it and by making your in- formant for his or her source of information. When we drank' liquor they said we spent our money for drink. We quit and didn't have any money. Then it was said we spent it on automobiles. They rationed us out of'that, and we still ain't, got no money.-Abbeville (Ga.) Chronicle.

How To Control Cut Worms There are oodles of cut worms around Port St. Joe and if Victory gardeners are to have success RIAL i lmkRY TOR HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE Dangerous High Blood Pressure (Essential Hypertension) is usually marked by distressing symptoms such as dizziness, throbbing head- aches,- sleeplessness and nervous- ness. If disregarded, this may lead 'to Heart Trouble, Stroke, Paralysis, 1Hardening of the Arteries or Kid- ney Trouble. Diamonex, discovery of a heart specialist, is designed to quickly aid in the relief of these distressing symptoms. A Chicago resident says: "I suf- I.ered from High Blood Pressure for several years with increasingly severee throbbing headaches, dizzi- ness and shortness- of breath. I .showed the Diamonex formula to my doctor and, on his advice, tried the treatment for two weeks under identical' conditions as previous treatments. Within only three days my bad headaches and dizzy spells were gone. ,My high blood pressure was reduced and I sleep fine.'" Diamonex goes directly to work in three-different ways to aid in the relief of these dangerous symp- toms. Results are speedy-within as short a time as two weeks suf- ferers often find that Diamonex has accomplished 75% of the total re- duction possible with this formula.' If you suffer from High Blood Pressure you may try DIAMONEX without risking a penny.

BOY SCOUT TROUP RANKS HIGH AT CAMPOREE Boy Scout Troop No. 47 of Port St. Joe had a very successful trip to the Camporee at Bay Harbor April 30 to May 2. The troop was a little uncertain at first as to whether they could bring back the "Blue Ribbon," 'but by persistent and hard work they not only brought back the ribbon which means Grade A-but they came out in first place in the total number of points made. They did. well and received ex- perience they could not have re- ceived any other way. They not only did' all the projects in the con- test, but some good cooking, too. They were rated high on the ar- rangenient of their camp and the, management of it The patrol under Ernest Smith made the highest rating in the Cainporee, and the other patrol, under Ed Bartee, made an excellent showing. The whole troop, under Senior Patrol Leader Gale Traxler, made a bet- ter showing than they expected The quartermaster did a good job of looking after the food and othea details. Our troop is to be com- mended for its good wokr. Cost of the trip was only $1.50 per Scout, and was made possible through contributions by Mrs. B. H. Smith, B. B. Conkd.in, Mrs. W. H. Wellington, Mrs.. Peck Boyer and Mr. Lunsford, who contribut- ed either money, tents, gas, food, etc. Mrs. Wellington was in charge of the buying, Mrs. J. Grimsley con- tributed bacon grease, and Gene Farris and Tom Owens loaned tents. We take thib method ot thanking one and all for their co- operation and help. We believe our troop is to be commended for its good work, ano any co-operation which the parents and; others can give us will be 'greatly appreciated. We want to make this the best troop in the Gulf Coast Council. 0. D. Langston, S. M. W. A. D.aui.e, Asst. S. lI. Gale Tiaxler, Sr. P. L.
