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.

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 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. "This thing seems to have more lives than all my cats," said Rep- resentative Lewis. "We've killed it. at least three times."

Mason of the dredge boat Manatee, entertained at din. ner Sunday, aboard the boat, sev- eral ladies, whose husbands are employed by the company, anca their invited guests. The tables were scrubbed to a sparkling whiteness and the five-course din- ner, under the capable direction of the boat's Chef John, was a mas- terpiece. After the dinner the ladies were shown over the dredge wi-th its two thousand. horsepower engines that drive the intricate machinery. -Captain Mason then had a motor launch take his guests as far as the flowing well and' back down the canal to White City, where they inspected the quarter boat that will house at least 60 men. Those enjoying this affair were Mrs. Jack Carlin, Mrs. I. C. Blount and their guests, Mrs. Madaleine E. Whitaker, Mrs. Roy Runck and three children, Mrs. G. W. Davis, Mrs. B. A.

JOE, GULF COUNTY, FLORIDA SUGAR FOR CANNING CAN BE SECURED ON BOOK ONE STAMPS Stamps 15 and 16 Are Good For Five Pounds Each Starting last Monday, stamps No. 15 and 16 in Ration Book No. 1 will be good for five pounds of sugar each for home canning, and with the peach season getting un- derway in south Georgia this is good. news to Gulf cpunly house- wives. The OPA abandoned a previous- ly-announced program, which was published in The Star, under which home canners. would have applied to local ration boards for sugar allotments. The suagar-for-canning provision does not interfere with the regu- lar rationing program, and stamp No. 13 will become valid Jufie 1 to August 15* for five pounds.

No, you won't get more 'than a Dound for a stami, but stamp No. 24, valid, next Monday, will provide for one pound of coffee through June 30, or for four weeks. Pre- viously the ration has never ex- ceeded one pound for five weeks, and once it dropped to a pound for six weeks. - Reason for the -boost is due to an increase in the supply of green coffee in this country.
