Lois Crosby Seems Homesick
We imagine, with this story, we
should change the above heading
to "Our Boys and Girls With the
Colors."
Lois Crosby, the first to enlist
ift the WAVES from Port St. Joe,
who went from here to New York,
is now in Cedar Falls, Iowa. She
writes: "Everything is so pretty
here, lovely buildings and a beau-
tiful campus. I have never seen so
many-pretty flowers, pretty grass
and, shrubbery. It is just a picture.
There are 500 cadets training here
and 1000 WAVES-poor cadets!"
Lois seems to miss the good old
Southern cooking, for she writes
to ask her mother to "fry me a
whole chicken every -pi-ce that
would tbe fitten to gnaw bake
me some biscuits and a cake-
wrap them in oiled paper and mail
them. A good old cold biscuit and
ham and chicken would be heaven
to me-coming from home!"

WarWillEndSoon l PAY THE WAR DEB


t Kay Hopes So, But Disagrees With
Palm Beach Colonel; Avers
1945 Would Be Good

By RUSSELL KAY
It is reported that Colonel E. R.
Bradley, Palm Beach sportsman, is
betting that the war will end be-
fore January 1, 1944. Bradley won
a fortune in calling the turn on
World War I, -when he collected
on bets that- it would end before
( January 1, 1919-
iMuch as I would: like to agree
with -Iie Colonel, I'm afraid that
if I had anythiing to use for money
I'd' be inclined to call him on his
present offer, for if there ever
was a long shot, this looks like it.
I don't know whether John L.
Lewis has made a'wager with the
Colonel or not, but the, way things
look at this writing, if he has he
appears to be all out to protect
his investment.
I can't even kid myself into be-
lieving that the. European end ol
the mess will be concluded by the
end of this year, even if we have
succeeded in mopping up Italy, and
get a solid foothold in the contin-
en't, for Germany knows this time

A for, Jupan, here again is a
case where it is going to take a
lot more than wishful thinking to
write the final chapter, and while
we seem to be making progress,
the idea that we can. finish the job
in Europe and then clean up Japan
all in the short space of six months
just don't make even half sense
to me.
Maybe the Colonel is just trying
to be philanthropic or something.
He probably figures he might as
well gamble his money away on
account of the government will get
it anyhow, and, while there is no
harm in that, I hope no one, takes
him too seriously and decides that
since the show is about over we
can let down.
I don't believe that the Colonel
has talked with the boys just back
from the, South Pacific or Tunisia,
for from their accounts the Japs

There's going to be one whale of a big debt to pay when this war
ends, and. since Hitler, Hirohito and Mussolini are the cause of it,
they should aid in liquidating this debt. How? Well, the editor of
The Star suggests this: Let three glass-paneled cages be built and
sent on a world-wide tour-Hitler in one, Hirohito in a second', and
Mussolini in the third. The troupe would visit, every country andl
the Japanazis would' be placed on view for one and all at the follow-
ing prices: Hitler, $5; Hirohito, $4; Mussolini, 25c. And there you
are! If 2,000,000,000 people view the Unholy Three at $9.25 per
throw that would net the neat little sum of $18,500,000,000-not suf-
ficient to pay off the cost of the war, but it would help.

Mayor Appeals For

, Red Cross Workers


States That Women of City Ought
To Be Ashamed of Themselves
For Lack of Interest

Mayor J. L. Sharit, after view-
ing "Gone With the Wind" at the
Port theater Wednesday, has, this
to say in regard to the lack of In-
terest being taken by women of the
city in the work of the Red Cross
surgical dressing room, which is
far behind on its allotment of
these vital items:
"It came to my mintl as I
viewed) the scenes during the Battle
of Atlanta, where thousands of
men lay .slowly dying because of
lack of bandages and dressings,
that perhaps the same thing is oc-
curring today somewhere, on the
farflung battlefronts because the
women of Port St. Joe-and other
communities, too-are failing to
do their part in the making of sur-
gical dressings,' which are vitally
needed in unending quantities, by
our fighting forces.
"It is a shame andl a disgrace
that with several hundred women
available in this city who could
put in three ,olr four hours a week
at the Red Cross room, that but
four or five loyal women, devoted
to the cause of our boys, who are
fighting overseas, are putting in
long hours in an unavailing, effort
to meet the quota of dressigns
assigned to the local rogm.
"These same womey' who are-
'too busy to wolrkat the- Red' Cross
room,,' find plenty of time to de--
vote to 'bridge and to gather at the
drug stores to lap up cooa-colas.
',Every individual in Port St. Joe
should realize that this in an all-
out war and that the effort of all
is needed if we are to bring it to
a successful conclusion.
"I appeal' to the women of this
city to give a few hours of their
time in order that the lives; of our
boys perhaps. yours and mine -
may be properly safeguarded."

Members of Gulf Chapter 191,
Order of Eastern Star, at their
meeting Tuesday night,' voted to
work at the Red: Cross: surgical
dressing room the first three Tues-
day nights, of each month from 7
until 10 o'clock. Other volunteer
workers who are unable to work
at the room in the daylight, hours
are asked to come during these
night shifts, as help is badly
needed.

Our Country Right or Wrong

TURKEY HAS PICKED THE WINNER
Remember during World War I how Tur-
key sat on the sidelines (just as Italy done in
.this war) until she decided that Germany
was going to be the winner, and then took
her stand, with the Huns-much to her re-
gret later ?
Well, Turkey has picked her winner in this
war, too. There no longer can be any doubt
that she has climbed down off the diplomatic
fence and decided the United Nations are the
best bet.
This probably does not surprise either the
Axis or the Allies, but just the same it's a
body blow to Hitler, and it exposes one of
the soft spots in his vaunted fortress of Eu-
rope to attack-the Balkans.
Two years ago Turkey would not have
dared treat the Axis with such chilling scorn
at Premier Sukuru Saracoglu. did last week.,
He expressed warm friendship for America,
England and Russia, and their aims in the
war. His remarks concerning Germany were
tepid and- restrained, to say the least. -
It has been evident for some time that we
held the whip hand in Turkey, and that Franz
von Papen has failed utterly and completely
in another mission for-Hitler. But it was not
an openly admitted fact. Now it is, with von
-Papen on Hitler's personal black list. (We
can look for him to meet with an "accident"
in the near future.)
Turnkey didn't even voice a technical pro -
test over the closing of the Syrian border, a
move which was- said to be necessary to shield
troop movements.
It is known that both Britain and America
have great quantities 'of war materials and
large armies in India. Not too far. away.
Might this be the source of a good part of the
offensive power the United Nations seem to-
be massing in the Near East?
This latest development in the global war
is a definite threat to Hitler's vital oil supply
in Rumania, much more important to him
than the support of Italy, and we make ex-
pect to see him throw Mussolini and his tribe
to the wolves while he bolsters up the fron-
tier facing Turkey.


STOP THIS ABUSE OF FREEDOM
Freedom to us in this country, is our great-
est heritage-likewise, its preservation is our
gravest responsibility.
A lot of people have used the freedom our
men are fighting to perpetuate, as an instru-
ment to avoid discomfort. A lot went out on
strike in vital defense work because they did
not get the wage increases demanded. Hun-
dreds of thousands struck against the govern-
ment because they didn't think they were be-
ing paid enough to dig coal with which to win
the war. And these people actually have had
the gall to wave the American flag over such
acts, the same flag, under which our troops
are dying in every corner of the world.
This abuse of freedom must stop, or soon
there won't be any freedom to abuse. It
cannot survive unless the shameful attempts
to use our freedom to avoid the hardships of
war are put down effectively and soon.

SNEAK ATTACK
We don't know whether John L. Lewis is
in the pay of Hitler or not, but from his ac-
tions we'd say that he is. His well-planned
closing of the nation's coal mines while
mine worker demands were in process ot
negotiation, is on a part 'with the Japanese
sneak attack on Pearl Hart-r.
Words cannot express our contempt for in-
dividuals who are parties to such treachery,
and who refuse to work while our soldiers die.
As we write this, no action has yet been
taken by congress, but we hope and trust that
that body will assert its authority and stop
this organized mutiny which endangers pub-
lic safety for personal gain.
If the enemy had bombed our coal mines,
the work stoppage would not have been as
complete as when the mine workers deserted
their posts. Therefore, their action is the'
equivalent of an enemy attack on this nation.'

BERLIN ANECDOTE
This little story comes from one of :the'
"underground" papers published in Belgium.
A Berlin citizen with 100 marks-planned to.
subscribe to one of the war loans, but being'
a cautious individual, -he asked a clerk who.
was guaranteeing the loan. He was told that,
the fuehrer himself was back of it.
"But if something happens to the fuehrer?",
Then he was told Goering would carry on..
"But Goering is also at the front," persisted'
the cautious one. "He, too, might be killed."'
"In that case," said the patient clerk, "the
whole National Socialist Party will guarantee;
the loan."
"Yes, but if the party were dissolved, what'
then ?"
The clerk leaned closer, whispered confi-.
dentially: "Wouldn't that be worth 100
marks to you?"

In our opinion, after riding in a jeep, that
machine is the nearest thing to a mechanized
mule that we've ever seen.

Keep smiling-and buy War Bonds!

,Some authorities predict that
production of food will drop from
10 to 25 per. cent this year because
of bad weather and the many-
sided, problems of the farmers.
Faced with definite prospects of
a production slump, Director Roy
F. Hendrickson of the Food Dis-
tribution Administration said that
the government will need "about
one-fourth of all food produced
this year as against one-eighth last
year."
Looking; at their grimmest prob-

that the. possibility of a 50 per cent

KIWANIS LADIES' NIGHT FISH
*FRY IS ENJOYABLE AFFAIR
Forty-two Kiwanians, their wives
an d guests gathered at Mrs.
Bailey's camp at Wewahitchka
Thursday evening of last week for
an enjoyable fish fry.
To break the ice, while waiting
for supper to be served, Doc J. R.
Norton organized a game of drop-
the-handkerchief which was en-
tered into with gusto by the ma.
jority and with trepadition by a
few, particularly Byrd Parker,
who averred that he was "too fat
to run." Much fun and good appe-
tites resulted.
Without any reason being given,
everyone was urged' to save their
fish bones, and when the fish,
hushpuppies and other viands had
disappeared a prize was awarded
the one having the most fish bones.
lt went to. Mrs. J. B. Gloeckler,
and was a handy reminder pad
with a pig on it-a reminder not
to make a pig of oneself.
An auction was then held of a
number of farm products donated
by Mr. Parker, the funds going 'to
the club's hospital ward fund. Bill
Shuford took away three pounds
of butterbeans at $3.25; Doc Nor-
ton had 'three 'pounds of tomatoes
knocked down' to him for $3.50;
Editor E-ill Smith secured a dozen


,fresh yard eggs for $4; Rev. 0. D.
Langston carried' off a pound of
coffee for $4, as did Doc Norton
for $5.25. Tom Owens officiated
as auctioneer and was accused of
operating a black market by Capt.
Robert Tapper.
Following the auction a potato

,1OMANCIS AND ACTION
ROAR ACROSS THE PRAIRIE!


AMERICANS are learning that war reaches deep into the lives of
all. There are dislocations of accustomed practices-from torn homes
to much less consequential disruptions. Meat and shoes, soup and
gasoline are on a share basis, neighbor with neighbor, state with state.
The sharing of gasoline, for example, has thrown a nation-on-
wheels "out of gear." Daily going and coming have been revolution-
ized f6r millions. Yet with a minimum of confusion and complaint.
For our part, we pay our respects to the motorists of the South for
the spirit and aptitude with which they have met these wholly
strange methods and procedures.
Thank you, Southern car- and tr-uck-drivers. You have shared your
gasoline without grumbling. You have quietly adapted yourselves to
the coupon, to the tire inspection requirements and to the sometimes
annoying details of regulation. The oil industry is carrying a heavy
burden in the performance of its distribution and marketing obliga-
tions to the Government and to you.
Thank you for your help.

Army Is Helping

To Save Rubber

Citizens Urged To Co-operate On
Gas Rationing and 35 Mile
Per Hour Speed Limit

When Mr. Joe Citizen of Port
St. Joe does a bit of plain and
fancy cussin' because of the gas
rationing and the 35 miles per
hour speed limit, he might remem-
ber that it's to save rubber, and
the army is joining him in this
vital conservation job to keep
tanks, planes and other war ma-
chines charging against the Axis.
With the Japrats in control of
93 per cent of the rubber that sup-
pli'ed America, the army reports it
Is scaling 'down its use of rubber
by almost 45 per cent. Relative to
tires, the army report says: "Sev-
enty-five per cent of the army's
rubber requirements formerly went,
into tires. Those requirements arm
being cut 35 per cent this year,
and' will be cut substantially in
subsequent years."
Some of the methods used. by
the army in saving rubber are:
the rubber content of army tires
has been cut by 30 per cent; the
skid depth is cut by 8 per cent;
spare tires have been eliminated
where practical; rubber raincoats
substituted, by raincoats made of
synthetic resin and oil-treated ma-
terial; crude rubber content In
Boots and overshoes reduced' by
-approximately 45 per cent; rubber
eliminated from the interior pad,
ding of tanks; steel tracks. are be-
ing substituted for rubber tracks,
eliminating two-thirds of the crude'
rubber used in light and medium
tanks.

The Star has fixed a special reduced subscription

This special rate is made in the face of rapidly

withdrawal of this offer later. Friends
