PORT ST. JOE, FLORIDA, FRIDAY, JUNE 18, 1943


Believe it or not, folks, but here
we have First Lieut. Richard C.
Mahon hard at work. Richard,
who was commissioned from the
Air Force Officers Candidate
School, is stationed at the New
Castle Army Air Base, Wilming-
ton, Del., and at present is his
squadron's adjutant.

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.

tempted to write into the law by
inclusion in the bill.
iSpecific appropriations for vari-
ous state departments were ap-

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[

to resuscitate him.
The ,body was taken to a Pan-

in Jaickson county, where the de-
ceased was born.
Mr. Yon is survived by, his

YIELD OF HONEY IS
EXPECTED TO DROP

A report this week by C. 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.

County Canal Bill

Goes to President


Provides for Federal Government
To Take Over Waterway
When Bonds Paid

A co-operative telegram was re-
ceived Tuesday by The Star from
Congressman Bob Sikes and Sena-
tor Clude Pepper advising that the
Gulf county canal bill had passed
"the senate Saturday and had gone
to President Roosevelt for his sig-
nature. (We're glad to see that
our congressional delegation is
saving 'money by joining up on
their telegrams. Usually we re-
ceive one from each of them on
local matters of interest in Wash-

The 'bill authorizes the federal
government to acquire the Gulf
county, canal which connects the
channel extending from the Ap-
alachicola river to St. Andrews
Bay after the residents of this
county pay o'ff the $200,000 bond

Our Country ,- Right or Wrong

THERE'LL BE SOME CHANGES MADE!
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 ?

A recent survey purports to show that the
majority of women who join the WAACs and
the WAVES do so with the idea of getting
married. Those natty uniforms wouldn't
have anything-at all to do with it, we sup-
pose.-Savannah News.

It's exhilarating to bite into a thick, juicy
steak-fairly makes you tremble, particularly
in the region of the pocketbook.-Waycross

Lewis In Speech

Says Machinations of Labor Leader
Destroys Moralle of En-
tire Country

Speaking in the, house of repre-


adopted by both the house and
the senate.

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.
