Reddick, an employee of the St. Joe Paper company, last Friday was accepted by the Navy. Mrs. Reddick has had her application accepted by the WAVES, and expects to join up today. The Reddick dog, "Boy," has been accepted by the local Coast Guard unit for patrol duty. But that isn't all! Mr. Reddick has one brother, Kirkland, in the Navy, and another brother, Dalton, in the Army. And Mrs. Reddick's brother, Jack Vause, is also In the Army. Mr. and Mrs. Reddick left last week for High Springs for a brief visit with Mrs. Reddick's mother before taking up their military duties. Good luck to you, Mr. and Mrs. Reddick and your pal Boy. *t Lois Crosby NOT Homesick We pass on the following letter -to our readers, with the hope that it will correct the impression given in this, column two weeks ago that Miss Lois Crosby, who is in train- ing with the WAVES at Cedar Falls, Iowa, was. homesick: Dear, Mr. Smith Thanks so much for last week's Star. If I have left a word uhread, may the Lord forgive me, as I meant to get the full benefit of the entire home paper. .I'll have to admit I really apprer Sclate-the write.up thai. you gave mr on your front page, even though I hate you, headed it anything con- cerning homesick. So many people warned me that I would be, and honest, I am anything but that. Well; of course., I wouldn't mind seeing all of you folks back there and in that little Alabama town of Elba, but I don't regret my step of joining the service. I can still see great opportunities for me as well as lots that even I can do to help. One really sees the big job before all of us when he becomes a part of it. I intended writing before this time,, but we are kept very busy- so much to review and learn in such a short time. I am scheduled Loose Garters Are Masons Join Drive Kiwanis Club Takes No Joke to Women To Make Dressings Tnni. f p Up To iC Of Posq Getting Panicky Over Poor Holdup Ten Members of Order and Twelve Offered By Various Ladies At Red Cross Room Substitutes Last Friday Night A great mlorale-dle'pressing and Joining in the recently-inaugu. nerve-wracking problem has hit rated drive to fill the local Red the fair sex of Port St. Joe. Per- Cross quota of surgical dressings, haps you've noticed how the girls have been, fidgeting lately. May- be you've seen them making fur- tive dabs toward their knees as they walked down the street, or perhaps you have, observed those looks of anguish on their faces as they amble down the aisles in Cos- tin's store, Miles, Five and, Ten, the Quality Grocery andi other busi- ness establishments. Well, there's a reason for it all. Another casualty of the war. The great garter shortage. The girls, have always depended upon the good, old rubber garter, twined around the top of the stocking and drawn tight enough to check the circulation. They used to smile with confli- dence as they trotted about-but that confidence, is gone now-the girls are panicky and they're get- ting a haggard, look -about their eyes, for they, never know just what is going to happen next when they strut out with full- length stockings. They've bee n trying various substitutes for garters, but the substitutes don't substitute and from a reliable source -(strictly confidential, of course) we have learned' the sad story: There, just ain't nothing that will hold stock- ings up right, pull all the wrinkles out and give that devastating ef- fect but the rubber garter. The ,girls are trying cord, shoe strings, special twists of the hose tops, paper clips, hairpins, ribbons, hair curlers, picture wire, tooth- picks and dozens of other gadgets -but to no avail. The stockings continue to sag, wrinkle and fold until the, wearers are in a dither. Seems like there just ain't no end to the suffering this war Is causing! DREDGE OPERATING -M -. vsfWMrv d- kTA&T ten members of the local Masonic lodge and twelve ladies gathered at the Red Cross room last Friday night, assisted' by Mrs.. Ross Co- burn and Mrs. W. S. Smith, and turned out 409 of the dressings, shattering the record established the previous Wednesday evening when nine members of the Ma- chinists local and their wives, com- pleted 323 dressings. Present last Friday night were Mr. and. Mrs. Watson Smith, Mr. and Mrs. George Cooper, Mr. and, Mrs. D. C. Smith, Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Ohristmas, Mrs. Claudia Seiwell, Mrs. Bessie Seagraves, Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Williams, Mrs.. Arthur Bryant, Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Temple, Mr. and! Mrs. B. J. Hull, Mr. and Mrs. P. A. Howell, G. C.

Negro Dies .In Sunday Blaze Aged Colored Man Unable to Flee Burning House In Quarters Wallace Sapp; colored', about 60 years of age, was burned, to death about 9 o'clock Sunday morning when the small one-room house in which- he lived in the colored' quar- ters and a small store adjoining were destroyed by fire. It is believed the fire started when Sapp, who was ill, tried to light a stove. An -effort was made to remove him from the 'burning building, but the flames hadi made such headway when discovered that rescue efforts were futile. The two buildings were owned by Wm. Sapp, colored.

Propose Organization of Civic Body to Develop And Follow Up Plans And Ideas Submitted The matter of (post-war develop- ment in Port St. Joe and Gulf county was the main topic of dis- cussion Thursday, evening of last week by members, of tthe Port St. Joe Kiwanis club at the regular weekly meeting at the Port Inn. Members had, been told at a pre- vious meeting to mull over the matter and tell what they thought about it when called upon. The subject, which took the form of ail informal round-talble discussion, was opened 'by Thoe. R. L. Carter, who pointed out that the government will loan billions of dollars for public works at the conclusion of the, war' in order to provide jobs, and suggested that the people of Port St. Joe should consider the matter of getting some public projects here. He said that in order to clarify matters, a need was, present for some sort of clearing house for ideas, siach as a chamber of commerce, in order that -onj-riiln may be accom- plished and manufacturers and) dis- tributors be, brought- here. Tom Owens, county school su- perintendent, stated that naturally his thoughts hadi been- along school lines and the possibility of securing land now for construction later of a -modern school plant here. He also pointed out that we need more paved streets, sidewalks and curbs, and, most of all, a rec- reation center. "The only way we can make plans for these things," said Mr. Owens, "is to form a com- mittee of representative citizens to develop the various plans for post- war work that are suggested, Money for these projects, which the government will match dollar- for-dollar,: could be raised by as- sessing (by vote of the people) a small millage, say onr-half mill, and let it accumulate." , Editor W. S. Smith pointed out the vast possibilities latent here for trade with Latin American countries, which will be the best customers of the. United States at the conclusion of the war. He pointed out that Port St. Joe is one of the most strategically lo- cated ports in the nation to handle this post-war shipping, having a natural harbor surpassed 'by none amd being closer to 'South America than any other port, with the ex- ception of Tampa. He pointed out that the sides of a "V", with the point placed on Port St. Joe, will pass through St. Louis and' New York, and that inside that "V" is located the greater part of the manufacturers of the nation, and that the network of railroads In- cluded! in the area all lead dl- rectly to the A & N which serves this port. "With our fine harbor -and port facilities, which could be enor- nously expanded," said Mr. Smith, 'we stand at the crossroads of he two Americas. There will be great demand for farm mach- nery, automobiles and light air- 'lanes in the South American (Continued on Page 4) MWICTORY VNITXD BUY STATCS ONlgTjy FRIDAY, JULY 9, 1942 .- .. -* -" -' THE STAR Published Every Friday at Port St. Joe, Fla., by The Star Publishing Company W.

Our Country Crf Right or Wrong LIVES-THE PRICE OF STRIKES Most of us don't realize the full threat to the war effort that attaches to labor trouble in the coal mines. It is estimated that about 100,000,000 tons of coal will be chemically utilized, this year in the manufacture of ex- plosives, plastics, the priceless sulfa drugs, solvents, food preservatives, insecticides, fer- tilizers, rubber, nylon and hundreds of other vital war materials. Now if there is not sufficient coal to meet the demands of manufacturers turning out these various items, a shortage will develop at various points on the fighting fronts-and many of our men will lose their lives because of a lack of the materiel of war. Some will die for the lack of a few rounds of ammuni- tion, others from tropical diseases which could have been licked with a few ounces of some Aul'fa derivative; a strategic beach-head, secured at the cost of several hundred lives, may be lost for lack of a few aerial bombs. And chances are that among the men who. lose their lives for lack of a few vital items, there will be some from Gulf county. It might seem odd that miners striking in Ten- nessee, Kentucky and Pennsylvania could cause the death of a Gulf county youth, but that's the way it works out. No power on earth will be able to bring back the lives of the service men who may be lost because of the coal shortage. Men's lives are the price of strikes in wartime. A new army explosive is reported to be 35 per cent better than TNT. We'd like to get hold of some of that to rid our Victory Gar- den of cutworms-nothing else fazes 'em. "People don't seem to be afraid of hell iny more; indeed, they hold a contemptuous at- titude towards it," a local minister remarked to us the other day. .We told him we didn't doubt it at all, considering the condition of the world today-familiarity breeds contempt. We were reading a-story in the paper the other day where a New Jersey man ate 366 apples in one hour. Looks like he might be rather fond of apples. * The only way some folks expect to inherit the earth it to have it thrown in their face by a shovel.-Macclenny Press.

Since THE PULP-PAPER OUTLOOK New uses for paper products resulting from war needs and war-stimulated technical developments suggest the probability that the pulp and paper industry will become a factor of much greater importance in the economy of the United States after the war than it was before. If it does, the South will be a princi- pal beneficiary in view of the fact that the pulp and primary paper industry is sixty per cent rural, located in communities of less than 25,000. Fernandina, Port St. Joe and Brunswick are examples. Although the South has not yet come fully into its own in the development of this indus- try-it has about one hundred million dollars invested here there are enough plants in this section to bring a large share of the profits from the products which are now valued at ntore than two billion dollars a year. This will be especially beneficial inasmuch as a large share of the returns will be dis- tributed in areas where they are needed. A factor of special importance to the in- dustry is a probability of new markets for its products. Some of these new markets are certain to be in the Latin-American coun- tries, with which we are trying to build stronger ties. The. department of commerce thinks that China, India and certain Latin- American republics, which anticipate in- creased industrialization, will offer opportun- ities for the greatest expansion of markets for paper after the war. And this is a matter of significance to Florida coastal cities now engaged in studies looking toward the build- ing of their ports into a larger place in the country's import and export structure. Should the developments that are now vis- ualized come, they will bring needed benefits to the South, in the form of employment, wages and profits. But they will also em- phasize the problem faced here in the propa- gation and conservation of our forests. A1-" ready these resources are subjected to a rapid rate of depletion, which is commanding the best efforts of the foresters and conservators toward holding the cuttings down to a point where they will not exceed replacements. Wisdom dictates, under the circumstances, that along with the plans for the larger de- velopments and bigger markets, should go a program designed to keep a balance between the cuttings and the plantings of trees.-Jack- sonville Times-Union. On the few occasions recently when we have hoarded our "A" coupons for a suffi- cient length of time to get enough gasoline to travel more than twenty miles on one trip, we have noted recently quite a few purebred cattle throughout Gulf county. That looks good to us, for it means future prosperity and security, not only for the owners but for the whole county as well, and it certainly means that the scrub cow of the past is on the way out.

In addition to the water-borne commerce, there will be an enormous increase in air traffic, both passenger and freight, between the two Americas and again Port St. Joe is ideally situated as a terminal for these airlines. The need for an airfield here is, in my opinion, one of the most important post-war considera- tions." W. C. Roche lamented the lack here of some sort of promotional body, pointing out that the govern- ment oil terminal now located at Lynn Havein was first slated for .Port St. Joe, but due to the fact that Panama City had! a group of liverwire "'uirinet-. men whio, went to Washington .and put the pres- sure on in the right places, the terminal was shifted to the neigh- boring city. "That's what we need here," said Mr. lache. "A cham- ber of commerce -would do more than any other type of organiza- tion to bring such projects to our city and .county,. We can't sit around and. say, 'Why don't THEY do something,' because WE are THEY,, and it's up to US to do whatever is done." B. H. Dickens andl J. E. Bounds, in a cross table verbal bout, pointed out that we need .a cen- tral organization to contact those manufacturers a n d individuals who come here looking for a loca- ,ion, instead of having them con- tact perhaps one or two of our citizens who tell them a little and then send them on their way. "We need some sort of body to point out the advantages we have to of- fer," said: Mr. Dickens, "and. then keep right on pointing out to them what they can do here, after they have returned) to their home. of- fices, and the best way to handle that is to form a chamber of com- merce :or some sort of business- men's organization."

Several members voiced the same opinion as Mr. Dickens, and suggested that a 'businessmen's club be, formed from members, of the Kiwanis and Rotary clubs, as in the past such organizations as a chamber of commerce and busi- nessmen's club (both of which have been tried here) had a large Carter, chairman, W.
