Dear Mr. Smith-I read your col-
-umn in The' Star of "Our Boys
With the Colors" and like it very
much. I hear of lots of the fellows
I used to know, and if it was not
--for the paper I would never hear
from them. I have been wanting
to write you, but just haven't got-
ten around to it till now.
I .read in a previous issue of
your request for the Stars and
Stuips. I happened to, get hold of
a copy, so I sent it to you. It is
quite a nice little paper, and over
here a newspaper you can read is
really something. Most of the pa-
.pedrs here are, in some other lan-
guage, so to most soldiers they are
no good.
The Star gives me a lift-I wish
there was' more of it. So keep it
coming tilli I get back; I'll be a
constant readier. /
Sincerely,

Soldier's Serial Number
Important When Making
Inquiry As To Status

Only Absolute Method of Identifi-
cation, Says War Department

If it becomes necessary to make
an inquiry to the war department
concerning the status of a soldier,
either enlisted man or officer, the
public is requested to give. his
serial number,.
The request is made in view of
experience which has shown that
much time is wasted by war de-
partmnent personnel and the person
making the inquiry-whether writ-
ten or oral-if the number Is not
given when the initial inquiry is
made.
It is pointed out that many mem-
bers of the armed forces .have
identical names and the only
method, of absolute identification
is by serial number. Any, other
pertinent facts concerning the sol-
dier, and which can be included in
the inquiry, is of benefit and much,
time can be saved by giving all
data possible, as it often requires
correspondence for complete infor-
mation before the request or In-
quiry can ibe, acted upon.

LEGISLATORS MISCUE
ON THANKSGIVING DAY

State Will Be Week Behind Rest
Of Nation Next Year

Whether members of the 1941
Florida legislature planned it that
way or merely forgot that some
months have five Thursdays, the
state will be out of step with the
rest of the country in its 1944
Thanksgiving observance as a ree-
sult of a bill they passed.
The 1941 law says Thanksgiving
in Florida must fall "on the last
Thursday" of November, and At-
torney, General Tom Watson has
advised Governor Holland he has
no authority to change it although
the remainder of the country will
observe Thanksgiving on the
fourth Thursday next year when
November has five Thursdays.

OPA Order Effective Last Friday
Allows. Two Gallons' to Coupon

Amid much moaning from B andl
C book holders an OPA order went
into effect last Friday cutting the
weekly gasoline ration 'of B and
C book holders east of the Rocky
Mountains to two gallons.
At the same time A book holders
in the east rejoiced, for their
allotment per coupon was raised
from 11/2 to two gallons. There
was no change *in the three-gallon
ration in the midiwest and. south-
west, so motorists of Port St. Joe
in the A class are proceeding in
the same manner as before.
The cut was made by the gov-
ernment in an effort to. head off
a threatened new shortage in gas-
oline supplies.

Our Country Right or Wrong

ANOTHER MILESTONE PASSED
With this issue The Star enters its seventh
year of publication with a record of six years
of what we hope and believe has been six
years of service rendered on behalf of the
community. We could present in cold, figures
the amount of space given to various activi-
ties, such as bond and scrap drives, the Red
Cross, the infantile paralysis campaign, home
de ense, price control, gas and tire rationing,
civic club activities, and hundreds of other
matters that affect the lives of all of us, but
we won't because we feel that that is our job
of upholding public morale.
We're satisfied to sit down, look back over
the past six years and feel that we've done
our job the best we knew how and that our
readers and ,the. people of our community ap-
preciate what 'little we have done. They can
rest assured-that we will continue to do the
job set before us in the future as we have in
the past, without fanfare and without bally-
hooo.

S'WAY OVER THE TOP
Gulf county went 'way over the top in the
Third \,War Loan campaign with its $90',1 ,
surpassing by far even the rosiest expecta-
tions of the biggest optimists.
in other parts of the nation, while the goal
was passed, disappointment has been ex-
pressed because -subscriptiolns from large fi-...
nancial and business concerns gave victory inl
the canipaigng, not purchases by individuals
of the S'ries E bonds, which was the main
idea of fte drive. But we here in Gulf county,
I ,Lurt St. Joe in particular can be proud 'of
the fact that the greater portion of the-.money
B -st 'ribcd went into E bonds, coming out of
poc c't O the little fell.ovs. This is as it
shouhi be, for the little ficlow is just the guy
i.lo is gi.Olg to need these easy dollars he
is able to save now when tlihe pinch comes
later.
But now that the drive is over we should
not stop buying bonds, but endeavor to buy
as many or more than we did before the re-
cent drive started. The 1i, ;,, of bonds is
the best safeguard against an inflationary-
condition which might end in disaster.
For the showing Culf county and Port St.
Joe made in the campaign the thanks of the
community are due to the able and energetic
direction of the Third War Loan committee
headed by Horace Soule. All committee merm-.
bers labored earnestly and untiringly for theti
country and their community.


LET'S LOOK TO THE FUTURE
The Star this week carries notice of an
election; tot be held November 2 for the pur-
pose of creatInp-, if the voters so desire, a
pprm";ent building; fund for construction of
;school 1lildings in Gulf .county. Incidentally,
at the same time school trustees will be so-
lected and the village to provide money for
sch'ooI purposes will be set.
However, we're Cnot particularly interested
in who will be our school trustees for the
next two years because we believe that any
decent and honest citizen of the county would
make a good trustee, and we're not particta-


larly interested in the millage to be set, for
it is suggested that three and one-half mills
will be sufficient (though ten mills could be I
voted under state law) and our school board
says that that will be enough to operate
our school system, and they should know.
But what we ARE interested in is that pro-
posai to create a building fund. We all know
what a hard time e liad getting a new school
building heire through thle IWPA and what a
typical 'T I'A building it is. From all inchdica-
tions it will be ready for replacement within
a few xa:'.--x-and where will the money come
from ?
That is where the building fund would come
in. at oiylt' would it provide us with a new
school plant, which is really needed now, but
it will pro',ide a certain miodtium of employ-
ment when this war ends and we can again
construct necessary public buildings. We're
for it.
And not only would we like to see thrs
building fund created for our school system,
but we would like to see our city levy a mill
or two for the duration wxile all this cheap
money is floating around, the resulting fund
to be used for the construction of a badly-
needed combined city hall,' fire station and
jail.-

during the second half the local

other factor leading to defeat was
the absence of two of the best

ST. JOE FURNITURE COMPANY

Quaity Considered, We Are Never Undersold


TO THE MANY CUSTOMERS AND FRIENDS'OF THE ST. JOE
FURNITURE COMPANY AND MR. C. J. SULLIVAN:

I just wanted to let you know that you won't be seeing C. J. around
the store as much in the future as you have in the past. He has turned the
store over to me and he expects to spend most of his time in the future buy-
ing beds, stoves, etc., for us. By doing this, we hope to be better able to
supply you at all times with everything that is to be had in household
furnishings.,

Mr. Sullivan has just returned from a short buying trip and tells me
that we should have a fair supply of heaters and stoves, both wood or coal
and kerosene, some time next week. We have a fair supply of blankets on
hand now from $4.95 up, and more coming. We have plenty of window
shades from 75c up, and still have a good supply of reconditioned iron beds
and the old type coil springs. We can furnish you with' almost any type
mattress you want for your bed, from a 50-pound cotton on up to the in-
nerspring. However, we don't have so many innerspring mattresses on
hand and likely won't be able to get any more. Aside from the few articles
mentioned above, you will'find a bigger and better variety of all types of
household furnishings.

Won't you stop by and see us and look over our store and merchandise?
We have tried to dress it up a little. We sincerely hope you will approve.
Hoping to see you soon,
N. H. SASSER, JR., Manager,
ST. JOE FURNITURE CO.
