I particularly want pictures, of 'al1 of you (in uniform), and' as I don't seem to be able to get them from your talks, how about you sending a good, snapshot? And while you're at it, include a letter telling us what you're doing ,and how you're faring, whether or not you enjoy reading The Star, what sort of news you'd like to, hear from home.

If y'ur folks and friends here at i iome knew what home-town news meant to you, I know they'd co-operate better. Mebibe you can drop 'em; a hint to that effect in your next letter to them, such as phoning in personals about the visit of Uncle John and Aunt Susie and the kids from up in 'Georgia, their visit to Sister Susie over in Jacksonville, th#' quintuplets that made your iold, dog ,"TootLie the proudest mother in town-all the se homey little# things that you'd like to read about and tell to the other guys in .your outfit.

Men Showing Up Ladies In Making Surgical Dressings Members of Masonic Lodge and Machinists Local Go to W6rk At Red Cross Room Looks like there's-going to be a "'battle of the sexes" waged in Port St. Joe. Appeals to the women of the city to work in the Red` Cross room making surgical dressings for our boys in the armed forces having brought little or no results during the past two months, two groups of men apparently decided to do something about it-the Masonic lodge and' the Machinists Local- perhaps, if-an effort tio shame the women into action. Anyway. last -Tusday evening, when eight members of the Order of Eastern Star showed up at the room, three Masons, D. C. Smithl, George Cooper and Watson Smitir, were also. on hand to join in the work, and after brief instruction began turning out the dressings in record time. Wednesday night nine members of the Machinists Local, accom- panied by their wives, put in an appearance and settled, down tu work. And what they didn't do to shatter records! This gang turned out 323 dressings in two. and a half hours (starting without the least idea of how to go about it, learn- ing as they went), as against 143 'dressings made .Tuesday night. Present Tubedlay night, besides - the three gentlemen, were Miss9 Myrtice C6ody, Mrs. J. A. Christ- mas, Mrs. Alice Bryant, Mrs. D. C. Smith, Mrs. Watson Smith, Mrs. George Cooper and Miss, Marjorie Smith. They were instructed and assisted by Mrs. W. S. Smith, . Those, on hand. Wednesday eve- ning were Mr. and Mrs. G. W.

How about the Ro- tary and, Kiwanis clubs taking two of those evenings?

Our Country Right or Wrong BE ONE In the pressing need for volunteers to make s* urgical dressings for our boys at the battle fronts, there is yet an unanswered challenge to the patriotism of the women of Port St. Joe. The local Red Cross room has been ap- . pealing for months for women workers to make the dressings, but so far the response has been very disappointing. Why? Certainly not because the mothers and wives and daughters of this city are lack.- ing in loyalty and devotion. We feel sure they would go to any length of self-sacrifice to save one of our wounded soldiers or to allevi- ate his pain. But apparently it has not yet come fully home to them that surgical dress- ings are needed for this very purpose - needed in millions and needed now. Hard fighting is in progress and greater battles are impending in all theaters of the war. Florida boys, Port St. Joe boys, await the zero hour to strike for victory in the Mediterranean zone, in Europe, in the South Pacific -in the Aleutians, and in the Fai- East. The more victories, the more casualties, and the greater the need of surgical supplies from the home front. A hundred women could be used right now at the local room, as the mak- ing of dressings is far behind schedule and state headquarters has been sending frantic messages to get them out. Surely, there will be no further lag in the response to this appeal. Members of the lo- cal chapter of the Order of Eastern Star have volunteered to work as a body three Tuesday nights a month, beginning last Tuesday-and at that time three members of the Masonic lodge also put in an appearance to try their hand at making the dressings. Wednesday night a delegation from the Machinist's local showed up, and once they got the hang, really turned out the finished product. Looks like the men are out to show up the ladies. More power to 'em! Now if our mayor and city Commissioners will do their stint, setting a good example, maybe our quota can be filled. Sure, .the weather is warm right now, but not so warm as on the sun-baked.islands-ot the far Pacific or the desert sands of North Africa. Social engagements may be pressing, but hardly so pressing as the duty and dan- ger of our, troops now preparing to storm Hitler's European fortress. A few hours a week spent at the Red Cross room will mean the saving of many a soldier's life. Port St. Joe women, as far as we know, have never failed in patriotism, and we trust they never will. South Has Good. Crops Government estimates on food crop prospects are not encouraging at present. Recent flood's in the North, severe droughts in western areas darken 'the national outlook on food. However, it looks as if Southerners, as a whole, will have lo.ts of Dixie-grown foodstuffs. Crops. are doing unusually well throughout the southeast. Editorial heading: "People Are Still People." Is that good'? A WARTIME PLAGUE Into the picture of America at war, on the battlefront, in the factory, and on the home front, has crept a new practice, not yet prev- alent to any great extent in Port St. Joe, the very name of which has been foreign to our vocabulary. Blackmarkets are a disgraceful adjunct to our wartime economy. The buying and sell- ing of foodstuffs and other rationed goods toi higher than ceiling prices, and the securing of these products through illegal means, all are part of this vicious game. Any storekeeper who sells his goods with- out demanding ration points, who sells "spe- cial" things which he could not himself buy through regular channels, is patronizing the blackmarket, and putting the customer who buys from him in the -same class. It is the duty of every patriotic resident ot Port St. Joe and Gulf county with friends and relatives at the fronts, to stamp out black- markets by refusing to patronize them di- rectly or indirectly.. Blackmarkets are the manifestation of individual selfishness, and refusal to make necessary sacrifices. If the armed forces can do -.without com- forts, the rest of us can do with a little less now, so everyone will have more later. CASABLANCA BRANDY You may have heard this one, but it's still making the rounds. It's the story about two Gl's in Casablanca who managed to get a quart of bootleg brandy and prepared to sample it in a hotel room which they had somehow hired for the purpose. The first soldier lifted the bottle and took a couple of snorts. But he reached over ana pushed the bottle away when the second sol- dier put it to his lips. "Don't drink that stuff!" he yelled. "G'wan," muttered the second soldier. "Leave me alone." "I'm telling you, don't drink it," screamed the first soldier. "I just looked out the win- dow and saw President Roosevelt riding down the street in a jeep."-Algiers issue of The Stars and Stripes. It seems our congressional delegation up there in Washington is a bit jittery. A couple of weeks ago The Star ran an editorial titled "There'll Be Some Changes Made," referring to' what our boys overseas will do when they return home, unless- Our representatives have inquired, through third persons, if the editorial referred to them. It didn't but if the shoe fits-. The British have brought out a term to characterize those who carelessly toss away their money, just as though the Biblical "fat years" were not going to be followed by "lean years." The term the British have in- vented is "squander bug." The term is par- ticularly active around pay day. We've been wondering why the airlines don't advertise like this: "Don't wait until the war ig over-make your reservations now to see Tokyo, Berlin and Rome." That would also be a good slogan for the Air Force today. These modern planes are so fast that they make an eight-inch shell they pass in the sky look like it is standing still. Keep smiling-and buy War Bonds! Milk May Be Rationed Dairy officials anticipate milk rationing as imperative if con- sumption of the product continues to increase. OPA official's have the matter under consideration. Milk consumption in Florida has grown by leaps and bounds with imports running into hundreds or thousands of gallons. It has just occurred to us that we've never heard Kate Smith sing, "Why Not Take All of Me?" High War Costs 'Two years ago we were spend- ing for the defense program at the rate of $1.50 a month from each one of us. Now, war -expenses have skyrocketed, and the average per person cost is more than $50 per month. Gas Violators Prosecuted An increase in the number of criminal prosecutions for viola- tions of gas rationing rules is re- ported by OPA. "Copyrighted Material I "Syndicated Content Available from Commercial News Providers" --p 4b oo 4 A COINCIDENCE? About :six weeks ago we bought two sacks tolf Purina feed, from Horace Soule, local feed and seed dealer (he don't minds what we say about him as olng as we get Iin that "local seed and. feed" plug). and the next day we hadl .a huge rat running about our premises, which we managed to slay with a right to the jaw from one of our trusty crutches. We. accused H3iracel of planting the rodent on us to eat up the feed in order that he could sell us. somb more-which he naturally denied, but did sell uis a rat trap. Saturday Horace's Man Friday delivered us, two more sacks of feed. We watched 'him carefully to see that he did not release any more of the varmints, but all his acts were natural and. we were sure, that everything was on the level. Came -Saturday midnight, and we heard a stealthy, steady gnaw- ing sound. We upped to investi- gate, and' lo and behold a large rat scampered away from the feed barrel.

O'Leary, the man who issues ration books, predicts thaT the coming twelve months are likely, to see "less rather than more rationing." As deputy OPA administrator in charge of rationing, O'Leary gets blamed every, time a man's red stamps don't produce a two-inch steak. Now and then someone al- proves of his work, believe it or not. A year ago, O'Leary took the big plunge and passed out his first ration book. A half billion more have been printed since. The first one (No.. 1) was for sugar-remlem'ber? It's still in use *and coffee and shoes have been added. Other 'books since then in- clude those for gasoline, fuel oil, and the processed food's meat (No. 2) book. No. 3 book, a re- placement for Nos. 1 and 2, is now being distributed by mail, and No. 4, also a repal'cement, is in the de- sign stage. Want to know what's going to be rationed next? So would Mr. O'Leary. ."I can say honestly," he said. "'that I have no intention of ra- 'tioning anything. We may stee less, rationing rather than more," he adied, but declined to ,elaborate on that statement. Big Fire Losses Twenty-eight milliofl acres of trees went up in smoke in South- ern states last year. Figures just announced show that nine-tenths of all forest fire losses occurred in Dixie.

PHONE 69-J Civilian Tire Quota Slashed Rubber Director Urges Strict Ad- herence to Rubber Con- servation Rules Rubber Director W. M. Jeffers this week called for "strict adher- ence" during the next few months to tire conservation regulations, and OPA put force to his words by sharply reducing the number of low-mileage passenger car owners eligible thir used and recapped tires. But 500,000 used and, re- capped tires will be available for rationing in July, as against 80u,- 000 during June. Beginning yesterday, and prob- ably continuing for 90 days, the eligibility of drivers with mileage rations of 240 miles or less' a month in Port St. Joe and Gulf county will be bas'.d. upon the use, of cars for essential purposes'. Up until yesterday 'all low-mileage drivers were eligible for used, or recapped tires. Regualtions for drivers with monthly mileage rations exceed'in9 240 miles were not changed. Be Alive July 5th "Be Alive, July 5th" urges the Florida Safety Council in calling attention 'to the- fact that hundreds lose their lives on July 4th each year in motor car accidents, from' fireworks or from drowning. Swim- mers should be cautious, picnickers careful with fires, motorists care- ful if they wish to "Be Alive on July 5th."
