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!" Lieut Richard Mahon Is Visitor First Lieut.

THE STAR The Home Newspaper of Northwest Florida's Future Industrial Center VOLUME VI PORT ST. JOE, FLORIDA, FRIDAY, -JUNE 25, 1943 NUMBER 38 Sportsman L getting 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 rhit,-.t.otirig but a complete knock- "ou0 J.- .)iuIg 0o satisfy anybody, vlrt.l-a.l.vioJn .'11 that the Nazis can hlioe"?r. .,:o indications are they w'il.I'Tg'ht to the last ditch-and the.y loVte-a lot of ditches left be- f'or-e t'at ont as finally reached. 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 avnd Germans are plenty full of fight, and, while we knock 'emt down in every, round, they keep right on. coming. personally, I hope the Colonel is (Continued on page 2) 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.

"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. w enicunug tne cni n wa L )eri 1 within the next few days.

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!

Of course, if they were to turn the whole blamed war over to Henry J. Kaiser and he accepted the contract and' agreed to win it in six months, well, that would' be something else again-but the way it looks now, six months just don't add' up on my little, slate.

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 race.was run by Alex Young, W. T. Mosely, Mrs. K. Dahl, Mrs. J. R. Smith, Mrs. Roy Goforth, Mrs. W. S. Smith, B'yrd Parker and J. B. Gloeokler.

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.

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.
