ROY TAYLOR ENJOYS LONDON PARTY FOR MEN OF FLORIDA (The following dispatch was re- ceived from London by the local Red Cross chapter describing- a party held in- the British capital. by members of the U. S. armed forces from Florida.) "Orange blossoms were worn," but not by any bride. Paper re- plicas of this now almost extinct (in Britain), floWdr rdcodrated the blouses of fighting men of Florida as they, foregathered to dine at the Ameriban Rted Cross Mostyn club in London to honor their native state. Banners fluttered overhead with the names of Florida towns, some of which might have reminded the stranger of cool, sparkling soft drinks, such as Apalachicola, Sara- sota, Pensacola-had not a soft- voiced Floridian reminded the said, stranger that ..the Seminole In- dians thought of these musical names before advertising agencies began. Someone was playing "Moon Over Miami'" on the piano and, you could almost hear the surf bre.ak- ing on the Florida beaches. Explaining that he was a little late because he had journeyed 80 miles to get there, Pvt. George D. Smith Jr., of Madison, soon' caught up on the courses and ended the delicious dinner which the Mostyti club had prepared neck and neck with his hungry comrades. Among those present was Gor- poral Roy Taylor of Wewahitchka. Star Goes To Two More ISeems like the local boys just can't get along without The Star, "a letter from home." Pvt. Iverson L.

Yon Elecfrocuted Satur. day While Cleaning Up Paper Machine Joseph Benson Yon, 30, who had been employed .at the St. Joe Pa- per company mill for two weeks onAthe paper machine, was electro. cuted Saturday morning when he came in contact with wires for the electric crane above the machine. The accident occurred a short time after the mill had closed down at 7 a. m. for a three-day period due to lack of wood. Yon was a member of a crew cleaning up the paper machine and was on the hood of the machine preparatory to raising an air hose for blowing off salt and dust. 'George McLawhon, who stood be-low assisting Yon, warned him of the bare wires, telling him. they were "hot." McLawhon left for a few minutes .to get a rope with which to hoist the air hose to the top of the hood. When he returned -he did not see Yon where he had[ Tt himl: After a few minutes' search he foulrtfM entangled with the wires, badly burned and apparently dead.

Mack, state bee inspector, says that the honey situation is not so sweet this year, either for Florida or the nation as a whole. In West Florida the yield of the famous tupelo honey is about over and, amounted to 6 to 75 pounds to the colony, when normally it would have been 150 pounds. Lack of rain last fall is attributed as the cause for the slump. Northern buyers are no*w coming into the state, as Florida is first among all the states with the new summer yield. They are paying the producers prices ranging from 12 to 20 cents a pounds f.o.b. Florida shipping points. Shorts Shortage Nears End The shortage in shorts will be over shortly, it seems.

This "politics as usual" attitude up there in .Washington is irking us considerably. And we're not the only one who is taking cogniz- ance of the situation up there on Capitol Hill. Several million boys who are now "over there" are fighting and thinking. They're thinking about the day when they'll be home again, and many of them are thinking of the country they are fighting for. When they come back they are going to have a lot of ideas of their own about their country:' They have heard of the disillusionment that blanketed their fathers after they came home from the first World War. Chances are pretty good, this time, they are going to do some- thing more about it. And about the first place they will be thinking of doing some- thing will be in the congress of the United States-and the editor of The Star, as well as thousands of other country weekly editors, will be in there side by side with them to see that their sacrifices are not in vain. Yes,, sir, there'll be some changes niade. Either-a-lot-of new faces are going to grace the halls of congress or a lot of politicians are going to have to learn a new themrne song." THE NEW FRONTIER Every great war opens a new frontier. Prior to the first World War, the frontiers were geographic. The Civil War was followed by the great westward trek of war-weary men and women looking for new opportuni- ties and a new life. With the close of the cur- rent conflict, at least a major portion of the new frontier, like that of 25 years ago, will be in the industrial field. But instead of automobiles, it will lie this time in the scientific development of the na- tion's natural resources and in the electrical field. Research men, working quietly in lab- oratories surrounded by military secrecy, have lifted the veil of the future. They have seen the new frontier in all its promise; and 'enough hints regarding its nature and extent have leaked out to stir the imagination of all of us.,- We have read of a number of things prom- ised for the future, such as "electronics," which field Jesse Stone, in writing to hispar- ents recently, said "is the coming thing," ' but beyond these is a vast realm of discovery of which the public as yet knows nothing., These development hold the future or-' a new frontier that will make the past seem puny by comparison with the future.

SUBSIDIZING MISTAKES Steps taken by government agencies to re- duce food prices threaten the life of the re- tail food distribution industry. These agen- cies hesitate to tackle the inflation problem at its roots where it would affect one and all alike. Temporizing with high-pressure groups, appeasement of labor racketeers, political as- pirations that take precedence over the wel- fare of the nation-all of these things con- tribute to the rising cost of living. And the merchant must pass the accumulated costs on to the consumer, as those Costs are beyond his control. Irrationally, the politicians, as they witness their mistakes advertised on the price tags oi necessities, are seeking to force food dis- tributors to cover up for them by establish- ing prices wholly out of line with costs. The mistakes of food administration in the war emergency cannot be kept from the pub- lic by a "cover-up"-policy which attempts to make merchants the goat. They have done a good job of carrying out price and rationing controls, but they should not be expected to subsidize the mistakes of the politicians. Attempting to "roll back" or "freeze" re- tail prices before the cost of production is controlled is like trying to hold back the tide by an edict that. it shall not rise. NOW YOU CAN DO IT! Are you one of those people who like to dunk toast or doughnuts in your coffee, use your fingers to pick up the bone of a pork chop and gnaw off the last tasty morsel, tilt your soup plate to get the last few drops, mop up your plate with a piece of bread? If you are, and have been sorta ashamed ot these actions in the past, you are now coming into your own, for etiquette experts have flashed the green light on these little idiocyn- cracies of the dinner table due to point ra- tioning and food shortages. They say that manners must be adapted to circumstances, and that the circumstances of today's food supply make it necessary that practicality rather than daintiness should be the new rule for table etiquette. Perhaps some day circumstances will jus- tify "saucering" your coffee and putting your elbows on the table as you stuff your face- who knows ?

ONLY ONE GAS STICKER TO BE DISPLAYED ON AUTOS Motorists displaying more than one gasoline ration sticker on their cars have been warned by the OPA that they are violating regulations sentatives on the. final passage of by doing so. Gasoline dealers like- the Connally anti-strike bill, Con- gressman Bob Sikles said: "The ruthless and unpatriotic machina- tions of John L. Lewis have done more to destroy morale in this country than all the Axis efforts combined. And this destruction of morale does not stop at the bor- d2rs of the United States. It is spreading to the men in the armed forces and to the people of our fellow democracies.. "I find it incredible that a union made up of good Americans can be induced to strike against its own government in wartime. Yet John L. Lewis has called strikes against his government, and he dares to give, his government a deadline In which to come to terms with him. "This man, and those who are blind enough to follow his ex- ample, says in effect: 'You need not worry about the safety of your soldiers and sailors until June 20, but then, look out for trouble if you have not met my terms.' "Lewis has been able to do what no labor leader in any other de- mocracy, on earth would dream of daring to do in wartime-put a gun at the head of his government by abetting a strike in a vital in- dustry. The immediate disruption of the domestic economy of our nation and the imminent danger that our troops in the field will lack weapons and munitions are in prospect, and if there is an ounce of courage in the congress and the administration, such a condition will not be tolerated. "We shall shortly know whether Mr. Lewis will rule the United States, or :whether we can con- tinue to have democratic go.ern- ment. Congress must make the choice, and it must be made now. The passage of this bill will stop- Lewis and his kind&-and they must be stopped." The measure has since been wise have been warned that they are commit" ting a violation when they sell gasoline to a motorist whose coupons do not correspond to the sticker on the car. Only -the highest sticker should be displayed. If a person has a C card, there should be no sticker other than a C displayed on his car. !!;IIIII liIIIIIIIIIIII IIIIII n!l l ll ;ii !IIHIIII lllll lIH IIIIIIIill i' IF ANYBODY HAS- Eloped Married Divorced Had a Fire Sold a Farm Been Arrested Been Your Guest Started in Business Left You a Fortune Bought a New Home Swiped Your Chickens Met With An Accident Had a Visit From the Stork THAT'S NEWS TELL THE EDITOR Phone 51-The Star IIIIIllllllllllllll lll lllll llllll lll lll lllllllllll llllllll ll illIIll) ATTENTION You Can Still .
