Tr HERE'S A TIP You folks who are sending gift pac.kages to your men in the serT- ice, here's a little 'tip from the ei itor, a guy who knows: Don't wrap the items in fancy tissue pa- f- per, use a copy of The Star if he doesn't receive it, or some other paper if he is a Star subscriber. If there is some space left in the box, drop in a magazine you have finished reading, or today's issue of some daily paper. HIe'll apprect- ate it and so will his buddies, for practically every piece of reading matter reaching the men overseas is passed! from hand to hand unfil it is in tatters. Gdeorge Core Asks 'forThe Star Floyd Hunt dropped in at The Star office Wednesday and. sub- scribed for the paper for a year to be sent to Cpl. George Y. Core, with an anti-aircraft battalion in Louisisria on maneuvers.. He said that George had been moaning for some time to have The Star sent to him. Incidentally, George says that he bumped into John Dendly, who is with an armored division. Sends Photo From New Guinea Opl. E. R. Dubose, who is sta- 4ioned in New Guinea, sent a photograph of a group of; natives to his wife. The group, Papuans, are strong and healthy looking and have frizzlyy" hair.

Milk deliveries into Port St. 'Joe were cut off almost two weeks ago, and yet nobody seems to care whether we get milk or not, whether the health of our children and our babies is endangered by lack of this com- modity. A lot of people are talking about the matter but no one seems willing to do any- thing about it. Recently in Panama City a milk shortage developed and the people over there didn't stand around wringing their hands and moan- ing. They took the matter up with the proper authorities, with their congressman and sen- ator in Washington, and soon sufficient milk to meet most needs was flowing into their city and has continued to do so. One of the reasons we are getting no milk is that dairymen cannot produce and deliver it at the ceiling price set by OPA, and they are drying, up or selling their cows. We can't blame them for that, for we should not ex- pect them to operate at a loss. The same situation prevails all over the nation, not just in this area, and the matter is now before :.:i.niress. As usual, the matter has ,developed into a squabble over whether the dairymen should receive a subsidy or be allowed to increase the selling cost of their dairy products. Practically all of the people we have talked with in Port St. Joe say "Let them raise the price of milk, we're willing to pay more for it if that will bring it back." And that proD- ably would be found to be the general opinion all over the nation. A subsidy to the producers will not solve the problem. They should be allowed a fair profit over their cost of production. A goV- ernment subsidy merely adds to the already heavy tax burden and places the dairyman in the position of accepting a dole, a "hand- out," or charity-whatever you want to call it-from the people he serves. We in Port St. Joe could take the matter up with the regional OPA office, and the answer we probably would get would be something like this: "Your dairymen have been delivering milk to Port St. Joe at such and such a price, therefore they must con- tinue to deliver it at that price." Sure, but if the dairyman can't show a profit he isn't going to bring in the milk, regardless of what the OPA says. And he'll probably tell the OPA to go straight to. What we need to do here is to take the matter up with Washington authorities, through our senators and congressman, to allow the price of milk to be increased in this section, regardless of the OPA. A committee should be formed immedi- ately to handle the matter or the city gov- ernment itself should take it up. From the way Allied planes are battering the Fortress Europe, there won't be a wall left intact against which to stand Herr Schickelgruber when they take him out to shoot him at sunrise. Congress may not do anything to suit youth -but it keeps on trying. THE DRIVE PROGRESSES Perhaps some readers of The Star are won- dering why we are devoting so much space to the Third War Loan Drive. Well, folks, it's because we consider this war loan for in- vasion one of the most important things in the world, and we will continue to consider it so until the drive ends. Reports from the Gulf county home front indicate that the people of the county are considering the Third War Loan just as im- portant as we consider it. It may be 'a bit premature, and then again it may not be, but from here it looks like Gulf county will go way over the top of its quota of $56,039. Most people are buying more than that extra $100 bond over their regular monthly quota. And folks, that is something, for most of us are not what you might call "monied," but just plain everyday working people. To those of you who have bought your ex- tra bond in this campaign we say "well done." To those of you who have not yet bought that extra bond, we say "buy it today!"
