Dear Fellows:
I know you all like to read the
items in this column about othei
guys in the services-where they
are, what they're doing, their
changes in rank-but I have to de
pendf mostly on the parents of al
-of you for that information-and
apparently those parents of yours
don't realize that you want this
information, as they have been
failing dismally in turning in news
for. this column in spite of the
pleas that I.have put forth and the
personal contacts .1 have made in
an effort to get items -and, pictures.
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. How about it
Bill' Coody and George Tapper
over there, in Africa? And' you,
Ken Creech, Jesse ,Stone and Wal-
ter Kirby, iotut there, in the Pa-
cific? And you fellows nearer
home-Carl -Bounds up in Wiscon-
sin, Farnk Ohilders in North Car-
olina, Paul Farmer in Texas, Ben
Kirkland` up there in Georgia, John
Lane in Tennessee, Harry Johnson
in good old Arkansas, Bill Mont-
gomery up in Massachusetts, and
the five or six hundred other fel-
lows. from Gulf county-send us
some letters and pictures-this is
your column and, I want to keep it
full tot news. about YOU ... I
done my bit in the last-war and 1
know what news from home means
-particularly the home town pa-
per which, carried stories of the
fellows I knew. Sure, sometimes I
didn't get anyl for a month or two,,
and then tlie3ydi all come in a
bunch-and how I'd scan the col-
umns, line by line, omitting nary
a single paragraph, editorials, so-
ciety, and' even the advertise-
ments. 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

in 'Georgia, their visit to Sister

besides doing scads of job print-

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. Mil-
stead, Mr. and Mrs. M. E. Dees,
Mr. andi Mrs. W. L. Jordan, Mrs.
W. Wood, Mr. andi Mrs.. J. L.
Temple, Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Wim-
berly, Mr. and Mrs. John Kramer,
Mr. 'and Mrs. David! Jones, Mr. and
Mrs. George Harper and, W. H.
Howell. They were assisted by
Mrs. M. L. Johnson, Mrs. Ross CO-
burn and Mrs,. W. S. Smith.
The 0. .S. S.,Masonic group In-
tends to work Tuesday evenings
and the Machinist group and their
fraus will work Wednesday eve-
nings. That leaves' three evenings
a week open. How about the Ro-
tary and, Kiwanis clubs taking two
of those evenings? Perhaps. some
competition can be worked' up,
with the losing team staging a
fish fry for the winners-sort of
a Red Cnoss League for Surgical
Dressing Makers.

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.

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.
Once might have been a coinci-

Out Looking for Furniture
Mr. and Mrs. C. J. Sullivan left
Tuesday of last week for points
in the North on *a two weeks' fur-
niture buying trip to stock the St.
Joe Furniture Co. store. They ex-
pect to return the early, part of
next week.

Right now it's better to follow
the old axiom, "Don't put off un-
til tomorrow that which you can
do today," for by then there will
probably be a law against It or a
higher tax on it.

Politicitis is a pernicious disease
that causes the palms to itch, ob-
scures the vision, loosens the
tongue, inflates the ego, toughens
the skin and hardens the heart.

Less Rationing

Seen In Future

Paul M. 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.

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."
Military Construction Drops
Construction- of military camps,
shipyards, war plants arid other fa.
cilities is nearing completion, and
such building has dropped to about
half that of a year ago. It will fall
off rapidly from o6w on.
