PAUL JOHNSON TELLS OF
HIS ACTIVITIES IN CAMP;
IS RATED AS BOMBARDIER
.The following letter. was re-
ceived this week from Aviation
Cadet Paul K. Johnson in response
to our recent appeal for letters
from men in the service:
Dear Mr. Smith I have been
wanting to write you since I have
been here, but I was waiting to
see what I was going to be classi-
fied as. I have been here for four
weeks now and I was classified
yesterday (July 24) as a bombar-
dier. I will be leaving here some
time in the future-you can never
tell just when..
*This is tht Nashville Army Air
Center, hence the N. A. A. C. it
is known as the A. A. F. C. C.,
(Army Air Force Classification
Center). The second week I was
here we started our exams, and) 1S
took a week to finish them. First
came an all-day mental test, then
we had our psychomotor exame,
where we. had to line up different
colored ilghts and put square pegb
in square holes, etc. We wert,
timed' on all these and our scores
were recorded electrically.
Then we had an interview witn
a psychiatrist and he asked us all
sorts of questions about why, how
and! when we joined the'air force.
The last exams we had were, th',
physical and they were the most
important. We had a night vision
test in the darkest 'place I have
ever seen.
When we finished the exams, wu
were called out in formation, and
ever since we. have been drilling,
taking P. T. (physical training),
and going to lectures all day long.
Some of the fellows have been on
K. P., but I have been lucky so fai.
I do enjoy reading AL L of The
Star, for I read. every bit of it,
including the adis. So keep up the
good work and "Keep The Stai
Flying" this way.
Sincerely yours,
A/C Paul K. Johnson.

Bring Many Men

Back to Our State


Now Finding Its Way Into Hun-
dreds of Thousands of Ser-
vicemen's Shoes

By RUSSELL KAY
Florida "sand" is finding its way
into hundreds of thousands of
shoes, that but for the war it would
never have reached. Service men
*rom every state in the Union haisj
visited Florida, and countless
others will follow them.
Perhaps you have heard) many
of these men in uniform speak in
uncomplimentary terms about this
state. They gripe about the sand,
the heat, the. mosquitoes, the na-
tives-just about everything is
wrong to hear most of them tell
it. Perhaps you have resented this
attitude; perhaps you are afraid
they will spread that kind. of talk
wherever they go to the detri-
ment of Florida.
Calm your fears. Their reaction
is -natural and normal when you
stop to consider it. These chaps
are, not with us by choice. They'
are stuck off in camps that afford
little in the way of comfort. They
work and. study as they, have never
worked, andi studied; before. They
miss their homes and their friends
and want to go back to them.
Consider the fact that thousands
of Florida- boys are scattered
throughout the country training in
other states. They spend their
time talking about Florida and
griping about everything they find
elsewhere. .
Sooner or later these lads find
themselves blended in some unit
on a foreign shore, and instead or
Floridians, New Yorkers, Califor-
nians or Iowans they all become
"Yanks." No matter where they

State Assures Counties of Suffici-

In Race Track Allocations

Good news to Gulf county, tax-
payers who have to foot the bills,
and our county commissioners and'
school board, who have to make
up the county budget, is the an-'
nouncement yesterday from Talla-
hassee that in keeping with prom-
ises made county officials more
than a year ago by Governor Hol-
land- and State Comptroller Lee,
the full allotment of state aid
promised each county under the
racing laws will be made avail-
able. The announcement carries
added assurance with the state-
ment that state warrants for $10,-
000-more than half the $19,000
deficit now pending on the year
ending Septembemr 30 will reach
the counties by tomorrow.
iThis means it will not be neces-
sary for Gulf county to raise the
money by local millage levy and

Local Motorists

Can Use 'A' Books

In Eastern Area

B, C, E and R Books Are Now to
Be Used Until All Stamps
Are Gone

Local motorists will be enabled
to use, their "A" ration ,books for
trips in' and out of the, .eastern
gasoline shortage' area by special
provisions announced here yester-
day by C. G. Costin, chairman of
the Gulf county war price and ra-
tioning .board.
These provisions are necessary,
he pointed, out, since eastern mo-
toris.ts are now using "A-6" cou-
pons, while those in Gulf county
are using "A-7' coupons. In' order
to overcome difficulties' in travel
"across the border," a new amend-
ment to. the gasoline rationing reg-
ulations sets up procedures, by
which "A" ration holders here may
exchange any of their valid "A"
coupons for other coupons. that
may be used in the 'area in which
they expect to travel.
Mr. Costin further stated that
holders of "B" an'd "C" supple-
menal rations for passenger cars
and "E" and "R" non-hdghway use
-are no longer required toeapply for .
renewal of their rati.in aat the, .ate
specified! on the .J'. .L- bf the cou-
pon books.
Now it will be possible for the
holders of these rations to con-
tinue to use their stamps until they
are exhausted, unless there is a
change in the purposes and, uses to
which the vehicle was put at the
time the' rations were issued. The
erstwhile expiration period is now
the earliest date at which renewal
may be made. Persons who run
out of stamps prior to the renewal
date are in danger of going with-
out.

Canal Bridge At

White. City Out

Structure Removed This Week To
Allow for Dredging; De-
tours Not-So Good

Highway No. 6 between this city
and Wewahitchka was closed to
traffic this week when the floating
bridge across, the intracoastal canal
at White City was removed by the
state road: department to allow for
dredging operations to widen and
deepen the waterway. Road depart-
ment officials say the structure
will not be replaced possibly for
several weeks.
During that period motorists de-
siring to get to tie county seat
will be compelled to go around by
Beacon Hill and Overstreet, this
section of road being in bad con-
dition according to reports, or go
to Panama City and come back on
the paved road leading from Mill-
ville to Wewahitchka.
Removal of the bridge and the
long detour is interfering greatly,
with fishing ambitions of resi-
dents of this section, particularly
Glenn Boyles and 0. D. Langston.;

OPEN LETTER

To Poultrv and Livestock Owners of


GULF COUNTY





S INCE there's not enough protein feed to go around, we must stretch our
present supply to produce all the meat, milk and eggs necessary for
VICTORY.

This means we dare not waste precious feed on unthrifty livestock or poul-
try. We must cull unprofitable producers save more pigp stamp out
disease and parasites prevent costly losses.

We know from our many farm contacts that most of these production
'"accidents" can be prevented. We are convinced that our food goal. can be
'reached without additional labor or expense, and with the feed we now have,
simply by plugging unnecessary production leaks and stopping easily-
preventable loss and waste.

Accordingly, as our part in the "Food for Victory" effort, we have volun-
teered for "active duty" in the service of feeders of this community to help
stamp out such wasteful Production Saboteurs.

We will gladly call at your farm at any time to assist in such feed-saving
practices as culling chickens- worming pigs--disinfecting houses, birds and
animals against parasites and disease-checking feeder and watering space, etc.

We also offer a helpful war-time production survey of your livestock and
poultry, based on a series of practical production guides suggested and recom-
mended by both national and state agricultural authorities.

This "feed-stretchet" service is offered to every feeder of this community
regardless of the feed he is using. Nor will you be obligated in any way. We only
wish to share with you and other uptriotic Americans the important task of
winning the War!

BRING MANY MEN
BACK TO OUR STATE

may find themselves, they don't
like it. Their thoughts and then
talk is of "the good old U. S. A.'
But what about the day when
the war is won and these men re-
turn to peaceful occupations? For
a time they will settle down in
their home community where, they
will find countless joys and bless-
ings that they learned, to value
and appreciate because of contact
with the outside world.
But as they grow older and op-
portunity presents itself, they will
think again of Florida. And when
vacation time comes, they'll -bundle
the family in the car or plane and
tour south again for a look at Mi-
ami, Jacksonville, Tampa or some
other town. They will get a genu-
ine thrill on this return trip and
many will remain as permanent
residents.
The sand is in their shoes-and
it will bring them back!
During the past two years we
have entertained many service
men in our home. Today many of
these chaps are in foreign service
and we hear from them frequently.
Some who griped the most about
Florida now wish they were back
and talk of the pleasures they
found here, the delightful climate
-and it is my guess that every
one of them will drift 'back sooner
or later when the opportunity af-
fords.
Another thing, they will be rio-
ing about in their own private
planes after the war, much as we
learned to travel about in automo-
biles following the last war. It
will be only a matter of hours for
a trip to Florida, and ,they'll be
coming back and bringing, others
with them. Florida is destined to
be more popular than: ever after
the war,, you can count on that.
Get acquainted& with the service
men, treat them kindly, for they
are going to be our future cus-
tomers and prospective citizen,-.

ORGANIZATION WILL
SOLVE FARM PROBLEMS

.Confusion which has plagued
Florida farmers, and growers ever
since government agencies started
controlling the marketing of. farm
produce has reached a chaotic
stage, according to William L. Wil-
son, director of state farmers'
markets.
A frank out-and-out discussion
regarding regulations imposed on
farmers by the government was
held in Marianna and the, farmers
attitude was summed up in this
statement: "All we want the gov-
ernment to do for us is leave ub
alone." .if
Attending the meeting were Sen-
ator Claude Pepper, Congressmah
Bob Sikes, Commissioner of Ag-
riculture Nathan Mayo, Secretary
of State R. A. Gray, Superinten-
dent Coiln English and about 400
Jackson county farmers.
Farmers not only in this section
but throughout the state and na-
tion see organization as the, only
answer to their problems, and in
view of this fact are forming local
farm bureau units to affiliate with
the state and national organiza-
tions.

Our Country y Right or Wrong

WE CALLED PART OF IT
.A few days :ago John Blount asked us
what we thought would happen in Italy.
-We told him that in' our opinion Mussolini
would be unseated and that King Vittorio
Emanuele would- take over the reins of gov-
,ernment. Well, we called the turn on that.
"We also told John that when the king took
over that the Italian people would demand,
that -peace be made with the Allies, but be-
lfore that could happen the king. would be
assassinated by the Germans and that a leader
favorable,, to the Axis powers would take
over; that the demands of the Italian people
for peace would be ignored by this new leader
and that before the capitulation of Italy a de-
cisive battle would be fought, probably in the
vicinity of Perugia, with the Allied forces
rising Sardinia and Corsica as stepping stones.
to central Italy. Then. the Germans would
-withdraw to Brenner Pass, leaving ItalianR
,soldiers, as usual, as a rearguard.
We'll sit hback.and see just how good a,
prognosticator we are regarding our latter
predictions. '
.Several months ago City Clerk Mark Tom-
linson asked us why we didn't editorialize oni
how we thought the war would go,. and at
that time, in this column, we stated practic-
.ally the same things'we told Mr. Blount, add-
ing that other attacks on the Fortress Europe
would be made via the Gironde and Loire
-river valleys in France and that operating
bases would be established .near Poitiers, in
the east-central part of France. Also that a
third invasion wing would enter France by
a. Mediterranean port, perhaps Marseilles,
.and strike ,northward, driving the Germans
into the Jura mountains. All of these maneu-
vers naturally would be aided by the French'
people.
We -also predicted at that time that more
than likely Hitler would make a stab at in-
vading Turkey via the Dardanelles and thence
into Syria in a last desperate attempt to se-
-cure oil and minerals and get control of the
Suez Canal and the eastern end of'the Med-
iterranean and the Persian Gulf.
On what do we' base, our predictions?
Well, history has a habit of repeating it-
self. Perhaps not identically, but cause ana
effect work with remarkable fidelity to a
general .pattern. And human nature and the
ways of men change but slowly.
We don't know how things stack up inside
Germany, but small bits of information man-
.age to trickle out which indicate that the
people are getting tired of the- war, just as
-they did during World War I. Germany man-
aged to last four years then
Gerinany now has been at war with the
-civilized world for four years. One more des-
perate bid for -victory has been made against
the Russians and has been stopped. During
"World War I Verdun was the place where a
a mighty army bled itself to death. Stalin-
grad last winter was the Verdun of this war.
The German army is greatly weakened, the
people are starving and face the prospect of
another drear, cold, fuelless winter. Will


they revolt? We say they will.,
In any event, Hitler's d:,v.'nfall will. be
swift and sudden, and when his war machine
begins to disintegrate his enforced allies will
turn on him and line up with the Allies for
the kill.

A GOOD MAN WILL SEEK RE-ELECTION
We are in receipt of a betterr from -Secre-
tary of State Bob Gray in %which lie states
that he will be a candidate fAr'ie-election in
the spring primaries' and he trusts that The
Star will look with favor upon ;his candidacy.
'We have always been a strong supporter
of Mr. Bob, and we don't hesitate a minute
in coming right out and saying -that he's our
candidate for secretary of state for thie rea-
son that since he has been in office he -has
attended to his job in a thorough and com-
po!tent manner, is always courteous to every-
body and has stuck to his policy of "prompt,
efficient and courteous service;," which he
chose as his motto when first elected to the
office.
Personally, we don't think. -Bob will have
any opposition, but if he does there is no
doubt in our mind that the people of Florida
will return him to office by an overwhelmingg
majority.
We need more men up there in Tallahassee
like Secretary of State Bob Gray.

AMERICA'S COUPON MADNESS
One thing people refuse to hoard. That's
a ration coupon! It burns holes in pockets,
starts stampedes, and tricks people into buy-
ing all kinds of things they don't really need.
You'd thiiik an unspent coupon was a disgrace.
As the mountaineer did, who, 'confronted
by his coupons, wrote Washington: "I want
to- be patriotic, but I can't affqrd to buy all
this sugar."
'': 1e number 17. ..,That was,.a close one.
The.- ; .I- an.:-.t forgot it. Then came the
deadline, June 15. Frantic Americans tore
into town with Ration Book. No. 1, its prec-
ious coupons 17 scorching their fingers.
ioiue stores were mobbed. Clothes were
torn,- feet were trod upon, shoe clerks ran Ava
around in a whirl, and exhausted merchants
closed their stores that night with a litter of
boxes on the floor and half their stock swept
off their shelves.
'It isn't just shoes, either. Coupon 17 isn't
the only guilty one. There are those little
red and blue points. They're dangerous, too.
Let an expiration date come around and ac-
cumulated coupons come pouring forth in a
torrent. Frenzied buyers rush to turn their
points into meat and canned goods, regard-
less of whether they actually need them.
it doesn't make sense. It isn't patriotic.
But it happens time and time -gain. Some-
times you may even find yourself doing it. It
is easy to be swept into the current, but it is
a current of emotion rather than season.
The very fact that there are extra points
in the book at the end of the period is assur-
ance that there is nothing to worry about. It's
time people stopped to think, .and refuse to
be mesmerized by ration coupons.-Christian
Science Monitor.

WINTER FEED IS BIGGEST
PROBLEM OF CATTLEMEN

One of the greatest problems or
any cattleman is winter feed, ac-
cording to County Agent J. B.
White. "The winter feeding prob-
lem is different in various parts ot
the country and is larger in differ-
ent sections," said Mr. White.
"Here. -the winter feeding months
are December, January?, February,
to the middle of March. In these
months a cow will lose from 100
to. 150 pounds.
"In this section velvet beans ana
field, oats are, the main winter
feeds. However, there are several
other winter feeds that can be
used but have not been tried. Last
year shocked sugar cane was fed
on C. L. Morgan's farm very suc-
cessfully, and he, plans: to feed it
again this winter.
"This week C. W. Horton put up
some silage for winter feed in a
trench-silo built to hold about 15
tons of feed. The materials for the
silage, are corn and sograin. It
this proves successful it will be
cheap winter feed," concluded Mr.
White.

LETTER OF APPRECIATION
RECEIVED FROM NAVY MAN
The Kiwanis club last weeK re-
ceived a letter of appreciation from
Lieut. R. M. Ogden who was the
commanding officer of the first
Coast Guard vessel stationed here
with the C. G. air patrol.
Lieut. Ogden stated that "the of-'
ficers and crew of the ship retain
pleasant memories of your little
city and the acquaintances and
courtesies encountered there."
He stated that his boat is now
stationed at an advance base "tha.
is more backward than advanced
as far as, civilization andi its com-
forts are concerned. The port does
ont have much to offer-one ci-
nema and a park around which
the girls promenade each evening.
The girls walk counter-clockwise
and' the boys walk the other way.
The old folks sit on the benches,
to supervise and visit, paying five
cents for the use of a bench."
Among other things the lieuten-
.ant said: "We all appreciated the
numerous favors done by your
club and 'by individuals while we
were stationed in your excellent
bay. Thanks for everything. Some
day I hope it is my good fortune
to return and enjoy your hospital-
ity again."

OPA SAYS TOP PRICE ON
ONIONS IS 9c PER POUND

The highest legal price shoppers
in Port St. Joe should pay ror any
type of onion in any store is nine
cents per pound, according to word
received here yesterday from the
OPA district office at Jacksonville.
In face of an acute shortage of
onions resulting from the fact
that crops are late this year, vio-
lations of price ceilings are being
reported to the OPA office from
points in .this section. The short-
age is expected to end with light
shipments of onions within the
next week or two.
The nine-cent ceiling price is thL
top for al.l types of onions.

an intensely .interesting study in
.the delicate balancing of conceal-
ment and revelation.
