Preston White

Survives Two

Torpedoings

After Year Abroad Is Amazed At
Way Women Hae Taken
Over Men's Jobs 7

Preston White, a graduate of
the Port St. Joe high school and
whose father for a time was
keeper of the Cape San 1Blas light-
house, was a visitor in The Star
office Friday and, by diligent
pumping, for Preston doesn't care
to -talk much, the editor learned a
few of his experiences during his
year and 15 days in the service.
Preston is serving- with the
Army Transport Service, t h/a t
branch of our fighting 6orce which
sees to it that troops, food and
materiel get to the proper points'
at the proper time. He is home on
leave with his mother at Apalachl-
cola, having been hospitalized for
a month and a half after his last
trip.
He stated that he' had been on
two ships that were torpedoed and
that on one of the occasions he
barely escaped with his life; lea'v-
ing the ship wearing nothing but
a pair of shorts and his wrist-
watch. On this occasion the con-
voy he was with lost six ships to
enemy submarines.
Preston says that he has )been
in South Africa, Cuba, all the Car-
,ribbean bases *and was in Casa
Blanca on December 26. Twice he
has seen enemy pi.uc bjor.. down
by gunners on the ships he has
been on.
"I arrived back in the States on
May 11," ,said Preston, "and I was
sure glad to be back in the U. S.
A. The thing that struck me most
was the way women have taken
over men's jobs. I had read a lot
about it, but just figured they were
holding down a few jobs. But when
I got ashore and saw Women driv-
ing taxicabs and trucks', tending
bar, operating street cars and
buses, working in the shipyards
and' in 'other construction plants,
I really was amazed. It made me
wonder when we would have a wo-
man president of the U. S."

Our Country s Right or Wrong

MEMORIAL DAY
Next Sunday is Memorial Day, a day for
memories, for remembering the valorous
deeds of those who died in the past and who
are dying today that this country might be-
come and remain free, that democracy's
torch be not extinguished.
It is fitting, therefore, that the day be
properly observed, that we should meet and
hold services symbolic of our everlasting
gratitude for the high sacrifice they made,
and to reaffirm our determination that de-
mocracy shall not perish from the earth.
Those who have gone and who will go in
the months to come to that deathless sleep
established and saved for us, and are battling
today to keep, the priceles heritage of free-
dom. It is for us, the living, to preserve it
for. our children and posterity.
Memorial Day is a day for memories? Yes,
but not a day to mourn. It is rather a day
for giving praise for the valorous deeds of
those who offered their all for their country.
It is a day on which we who remain on the
home fnt.,can resolve to emulate the-fine
spirit Lf'lvf.,tin of our men now on the far-
fung battlefronts and resolve to do every-
thiiig we can for those who carry the torch
of freedom through the bloody fields of
Battle.
Let us all attend the non-secterian me-
morial services at the Methodist church at 11
o'clock next Sunday morning. A special in-
vitation is extended to all men of the service
in the city and to members of the American
Legion and Auxiliary.

JAPANESE SAVAGERY
Again the mask of a so-called "civilized"
nation has been lifted to disclose the bar-
barian beneath with the sinking by Japan of
a hospital ship, and the best anwer we can
make to this is to extend and redouble such
blows as we are striking on Attu. They are
the only argument the brutal enemy will un-
derstand. The Australian hospital ship "Cen-
taur" was brilliantly lighted and unmistak-
ably marked with the Red Cross when she
was sunk, without warning, by a Japanese
submarine. Two hundred and ninety-nine of
the 363 persons aboard, mostly doctors and
nurses, perished. The foul deed is typical of
Japan's limitless savagery and adds another
score to be settled.
A power that wantonly sinks mercy ships
and tramples down all the decencies of hu-
mankind cannot be argued with-it can only,
be annihilated.


A bill has been introduced in the Florida
legislature to legalize "one-armed bandits"
(slot machines to you). Which brings to our
mind an urge we used to have to toss a sledge
hammer into those contraptions when we
bumped into one every time we turned around.


We understand that a meat grader will be
sent itno Gulf county by the government in
the near future. He won't have very much to
do unless at the same time some meat is sent
in for him to grade.


LION AND LAMB LIE DOWN TOGETHER

The lion and the lamb are about to lie down
together. After years of almost uninterrupted
feuding between cattlemen and timber men,
a program of timber-grazing-game has been
developed' by the Florida Forestry depart-
ment and is finding ready acceptance among
both timber owners and cattlemen. Their ap-
proval stamps it as a sound and profitable
plan.
The plan is -quite simple and should have
been promoted long ago, especially in Gult
county where game has been getting scarcer
year by year. The land owner simply seeds
to improved pasture grasses those swales and
other strips of land best adapted to grasses.
He leaves in trees, or sets to trees, the land
best suited to timber. And by deepening a
little pond here and there, or making a small
pond where convenient, he assures a water
supply for his animals and some fish from
his pond. Wild game will raise naturally un-
der these satisfactory conditions.
An important point in the plan is to har-
vest annually only as much timber or game
as can be replaced annually, and to graze the
grasslands to their optimum capacity. The
fish ponds can be fertilized and will nearly
always produce more meat per acre than will
grazing lands, or even many cultivated lands.
The cattleman can get checks for timber and
hunting and fishing rights, and the timber
man can obtain cash for his cattle.
In this manner steaks, rib-roasts and fish
supplement sawlogs and pulpwood.

SMALL-BIG COUNTY GRAB

Editor Lambright of the Tampa Tribune,
along with some other editors in larger coun-
ties of the state, are very much fussed about
the "small county" bloc in the legislature and
the "grabs" they make at state funds.
Being a resident of one of the so-called
small counties it does not cause our tempera-
ture to rise like it might if we were in Mr.
Lambright's shoes, even if we could fill them
up far enough that we could see over the top
sufficiently to get a -iew of things that are
going. on. However, we are proud of the fact
that the local board of county commissioners
resolved against the passage of an amuse-
ment tax for the benefit of small counties.
What causes our temperature to rise is the
fact that the large counties are not so broad-
minded and have absolutely no inhibition,,
whatever when they have a chance to take
something from the small counties.
The .large counties, with their huge regis-
tered voter lists are able to swing elections
for their benefit and have a threat to hold
over the head of state officials, which enables
them to take what they want when roads
are being handed out or federal grants are
being made.
The one time they failed was when the lo-
cation of army camps was being decided, and
the fact that the army ignored the politicians
and put the camps where they wanted them
is another thing that is gall and wormwood
in the hearts of the big counties.
As far as this county is concerned, we feel
safe in saying that we are ready and willing
to render unto the big counties all that they\
deserve, but we also feel safe in saying that
were it not for the organization of the small
counties for defense, the big counties wouti
take everything that was not firmly bolted
down.-Highlands County News.


Thank goodness we live in a free country,
where a man may say what he thinks if he
isn't afraid of his wife, or that his neighbors
or his boss will criticize him, and if he's sure
it will not hurt his business or his reputation.
-St. Louis Star-Times.

The time was when the expression "a gift
fit for a king" turned our thoughts to such
trivia, as jewelry or golden vessels. But not
any more. Now we think of Irish potatoes.

The editor of The Star received
a letter Tuesday from Ensign Carl
N. Kelly, stationed; at the Naval
Air Station, Jacksonville, request-
ing that his name be placed in the
hat to.receive this paper every

'The house this week killed for a
second time this session a bitl call-
ing. for. equal rights for married
women with marr-ied men in mak-
ing contracts and handling prop-
erty. Representative Mary Lou
Baker of Pinellas, who sponsored
the bill, first succeeded in obtain-
ing house approval, but a quick re-
versal of sentiment killed her bill
a few minutes later.
The house first passed, 45 to 52,
a: senate, bill giving married wn-
men the right -of contract, and
Miss Baker sought to clinch her
victory, by the parliamentary tactic
of moving for reconsideration and
then tabling the motion.
Up jumped E. Clay Lewis Jr., of
Port. St. Joe, Gulf county represen-
tative, former speaker of the house
and chairman of the rules com-
mittee, who said, "I hope we will
vote to reconsider this bill and
then kill it. It is a bad bill. 1
doubt if 15 per cent of the house
members know what they've just
voted for."
!Then, voting 50 to; 38, the house
recalled its passage of the bill and
killed it. 45 to 41.
Then on Wednesday the senate
brought out the house bill, struck
out the invalidating referendum
clause, passed it and sent it to the
h'urs for concurrence. The house
t'pd on Miss Baker's motion to
concur in the senate amendment,'
apparently killing the bill, but be-
fore. the day was over a move was.
made to reconsider the house's
refusal to concur in the senate
amendment. The motion was ap-
proved, 48 to 35.

resentative Lewis. "We've killed it.
