JOE, FLORIDA, FRIDAY, JULY 23, 1943 NUMBER 42 (The Star wants photos of Gulf county men serving in the armed forces. Pictures, which should be in uniform, will be returned.) SGT. ANTLEY LANDS IN TYNDALL GUARD HOUSE Sgt. E. L' Antley, well known in this city, where he was employed by the St. Joe Paper company, arrived in Panama City last Sat- urday on a two weeks' furlough which he hadi been looking forward to for months. Sunday night he left the neighboring city and headed for Port St. Joe to call on friends. When he was stopped at the highway barrier at Tyndall Field he discovered that he had lost his. furlough papers, and there was nothing for the MP on dusty to- do but send him to the guara- house while officers at Tyndall got in touch with Fort Sam Hous- ton, in Texas, where Sergeant Ant- ley, is stationed. So the sergeant remained incar-l cerated in the- guardhouse while the hours of his priceless furlough ticked away until Tuesday after- noon, when a telegram was re- ceived from Fort Sam Houston stating that the unhappy sergeant could be released "on his own." THE ARMY'S A GOOD LIFE, WRITES FRANK CHILDERS Our appeal in this column three weeks ago for letters from the men in the service seems to be getting a few results. We are in receipt of the following from Pvt., Frank Childera at Fort Bragg, N. C.: Dear Mtr. Smith-Fort Bragg is a nice place to be in, ibut at times it is-very hot, though it does rain practically every otbe.r xcy and that cools off things somewhat. We use the 155 m.ai. howitzer, which is capable of delivering a lot of hell in a .specified place. We have quite a few here as well as prime movers and! light vehicles.

B. Conklin, head of the Gulf WPB Urges Simpler Clothes County Dueense Uouncil, stated yesterday that he was extremely well satisfied with the test black- out held here Wednesday night, that it was a success from every , angle, that everyonee in the de- fense setup were at their assigned posts and that the public co-oper-. ated in splendid fashion. C. A. Soderberg, senior warden at Highland View, reports that as- sistance was given 'by Chief W. Waldon and Seaman Nichols of the Coast Guard in that area. He also commended Lamar Aultman, Charles Rogers and M. J. Aultman, who, -though not members of the council,' were very, helpful as voi- unteers. The control center; under super- vision of Marc Fleishel Jr., fun c- tidned perfectly, though no. "irci- dents" were turned' in. Residents are warned that in fu- ture advance notice of these test blackouts may not be given. In other word's, the army 'may spring a test on us at any time, so every- one is urged' to. keep this in minaI and be ready to conform to regula- tions at any time.

Perso\iallf, (Continued on Page 4) . GASOLINE COUPONS MUST BE ENDORSEDf Word from Washington is that OCPA is developing a plan designed to bring about a major increase in civilian ifeat rations. The -plan has not yet been adopted' officially and it still must hurdle the highly con- troversial issue of putting price ceilings on live hogs atid cattle. OPA wants to increase meat ra- tions primarily to destroy the. black market and other illicit activities in the meat field; and in order to do this it will be necessary to regulate livestock prices. The plan is opposed by congressional farm spokesmen, the meat packing in- dustry and' livestock raisers. The War Food Administration has allocated' to civilians 70 per cent of next year's canned vege- tables and soups and .3 per cent of the prospective fruits and juices which will provide a somewhat. smaller per capital quota than this year's allotment. Therefore it be- hooves all housewives' to can all the fruits and vegetable's they can lay their hands, on now in order LU assure a balanced diet for their families next year. One, cheerful note in. the ration- ing program is the fact that coffee . will be removed from the list o0 rationed commodities c' August 11 due to the fact- that more coffee is coming in from South America since the submarine, menace has been eliminated from the Carib- bean. Also, there are official ru- mors that ration restrictions may be removed soon from sugar. The War Production Board plans to clamp down on the output ot expensive fabrics and concentrate priorities to stimulate mass pro- duction of low-priced clothing. it is pointed out that we need not have clothes rationing if all frills are done away with and sheer vol- ume substituted. -So you women who have a choice evening gown or two had better treat them with the utmost re- spect if you want them to last. We men are accustomed to wearing a suit for four or five years anyway, so the clothing problem won't bother us much.

Our Country y Right or Wrong NOW COMES THE FEAST After the famine comes the feast. The po- tato famine is definitely over. Reports from all-parts of the country indicate that the situ- ation is completely reversed and that we now have plenty of spuds-more than enough if we don't use 'em up promptly. It's Old Man Weather's fault that a few weeks ago homemakers were crying for po-. tatoes and that now there is a surplus. All through spring, cold weather held potatoes back. With the arrival of summer, this year's bumper crop matured" for market. And no wonder "there are so many. Plantings for, the entire country are 13.6 higher than last year. These new potatoes with their thin skins are much more delicate than late potatoes and don't take well to storing. They're delicious eating but perishable, so they should be ap- pearing on your table every day now. Sup- plies of this variety are quite heavy now, and late summer and fall will bring different, less perishable varieties. Unfortunately, a great many dieters have brought the spud into ill repute. "Fattening," they say. It's true they're higher in calories than many other vegetables, but they're far below candy, cakes and rich desserts. Eaten in moderation, potatoes shouldn't cause bulgy waistlines. They have a great deal of food value to make them a "must" in the diet . vitamin C, thiamine, iron and protein. And don't forget to cook them with their jackets on, because the richest supply of vitamins and minerals is found right under the skin. They're good ration-stretchers, too. Com- bined with a small amount of leftover meat, with cheese or eggs, they're a, main dish that rates a lusty cheer from the family. And, at all present reports, they're low enough in price to make them a real economy dish. Naturally, you'll want to serve them in suf- ficient variety to keep up the family's enthu- siasm. Here are a few suggestions: Baked: Stuffed with cheese; stuffed with leftover meat and a little onion; topped with pork sausage; diced baked potatoes. Boiled: Parslied or minted; with onions or cheese; with 'green beans and bacon; creamed. Creamed and escalloped: Potatoes in cheese sauce; potato and fish pie; scalloped with green beans and onions, or with ham, pork oa lamb chops; with cabbage and cheese sauce. Fried: American fried; hashed brown; cot- tage fried; lyonnaise; French fried; potato cakes; potato and liver cakes or fish cakes; potatoes O'Brien; potato croquettes. Get the idea? This is just a starter-our tongue is hanging out now. There are as many ways to serve spuds as there are days in the year. So pitch in and start eating that bumper crop before it spoils. Now that car tires are being made of golden rod, wonder what the hay fever sufferers. will do who own cars ? Headline in Florida Times-Union: "More Canned Food In View." Yep, it comes in glass jars now. '., END OF THE 'NYA At long last one -of the numerous "emer- gency" agencies of the federal government has actually been done away with. The National Youth Administration, born during the depression, has been denied fur- ther appropriations by congress and conse- quently must be discontinued. But it did not go out of existence without a stiff fight, for those thousands of job-holders put up all kinds of arguments and pulled all available political strings to hold on to their easy pay- checks. The NYA probably served a good purpose during the depression years when it trained youths for useful work while they were paid $15.90 a month, plus subsistence and medical care, but that is no longer necessary, since industry is training its own workers-and do- ing a much better job. Now if congress will refuse appropriations to several more "emergency" bureaus that have outlived their usefulness, it would take a considerable load off the shoulders of the taxpayers and allow several millions Q.dol- lars now spent uselessly to be diverted lf the all-out war effort. TWO TOSS HATS IN RING Two candidates are already in the field for the governorship of Florida. They are Lex Green and State Senator Bill Shands. Y We hope and trust that- this will not be the c extent of the crop of candidates, for our next f governor should be a really big man and not a peanut politician.

Mussolini, who likes to strut on balconies, could emulate Nero now by digging up a fiddle and playing it while Rome burns. How- ever, 1900 years ago when Nero was the big shot in Rome, fiddles were not in existence -he used a lyre. That instrument would be quite fitting for Signor Mussolini.

After a man gets rich enough he begins to wonder if there's any fun in it. The fact that a boy's parents can't govern him doesn't prove his wife won't be able to. Anyway, one thing may ibe said favorable to the war: It has great- ly decreased the output of conver- sation about the weather. Send The Star to a friend.

Kenney, president of the state board, of forestry ann parks, gave a talk on wood and woou products to fellow members of the Rotaryl club at the regular meeting held at the Port Inn on Thursday noon 'of last week. Progress made in the use of wood products in prosecution or the war effort was covered: by Mr. Kenney, it being brought out the only enemy 'bombing action taken against the continental United States was in the form of incent- diary bombs dropped in the for- ests of Oregon, which were found and placed under control by forest rangers. This action presumably was from a small plane launched from an enemy submarine. Mr. Kenney outlined products being -produced from wood com- mon to every household, such as vanilla flavoring, molasses, .shoes, women's clothing, sugar, starches, and numerous- other articles. He also stated that the speediest and most effective planes now being used, by our armed forces are built principally of plywood. The matter of broadening uses of wood as, one of our few un- limited natural resources through reforestation was of particular in- terest to the club members, since the future ortPort St. Joe is so closely related to its development.
