Our Country Right or Wrong JO SERRA TELLS US Jo Serra, our pertinent paragrapher from down in Willis Swamp, blew into The Star office Tuesday on his semi-annual trip to the "big city" to lay in supplies for winter. He cocked his feet up on the editorial desk and settled down for an hour's chat. "You know," said Jo, "this here 'subsidy' business is getting' me sorta worried. Here the War Food Administration was handed $500,- ,O0(0X .for subsidies to cover the loss to pro- ducers occasioned by the 'rollback' in some food prices, an' before the goldarn ink is dry on that first five hundred million check, Ad- ministrator Jones is demanding' another five hundred million. "Once this here 'cost of livin" subsidy gits a foothold we kin all look to see it extended billion by billion. Us farmers don't want no subsidy 'cause we know we'll be at the mercy of the guvamint to pay us such a handout, under, one name or t'other, as it thinks, is enough to keep us going That's jist a round- about kinda way of making' the guvamint boss of every farm in these here United States. "Anybody %with any horse sense oughta know that' the 'cost o' production, which -Is based mainly on 'the cost o' labor, will always set the price of a commodity. It's jist plumb loco to talk about reducing the cost of some- thin' when the cost of production is goin' up. They ain't-enough money in the whole dang world to hold up peacetime prices by subsl- dizin' wartime production costs. The people foQt the bill, through taxes or prices, and there's more waste via the tax-subsidy route.. "And so," concluded Jo, "that's a load offen my chest that's been eatin' away at my in- nards like that there fox the leetle Spartan' lad hid under his shirt.", Seems like Florida solons pulled a boner at the 1941 legislative session when, to prevent President Roosevelt from setting Thanksgiv- ing Day ahead, they passed a law making "the last Thursday" of November the official turkey day in this state. Next year November has five Thursdays, so while the rest of the nation observes Thanksgiving on the tradi- tional day, we Floridians will stand around and watch 'em, eat, because our Thanksgiving won't be until the following Thursday. And Attorney General Tom Watson says Gover- nor Holland can't do a thing about it, either. However, we'll bet that Floridians will say "To heck with that law, we're going to eat turkey on Thanksgiving Day, not a week later." NINE MISSING IN FLIGHT OVER GULF No trace of a patrol plane from the Pensacola Naval Air Training Center has been found since it 'was reported 70 miles south of this city. Saturday, October 2, at noon. Two officers, two cadets and five enlisted nien, including one Frenchman, were aboard., The plane was on a routine navigation hop over the Gulf.

We've noticed several newspaper and mag-- azine articles recently about the poor admin- istration of the affairs of our island territory of Puerto Rico by the United States govern- ment. We don't think much of this type of loose talk, for there are interests that would like to see the United States surrender its sovereignty over Puerto Rico. One sure way to destroy friendship and trust between the island and the United States is a campaign to convince Puerto Rl- cans that they are being badly treated by their fellow citizens on the mainland, and should be free of United States citizenship. President Roosevelt, in his recent recom- mendation of increased self-government for Puerto Rico, said: "There is no question of Puerto Ricans' ability now to administer their own internal affairs and to assume the at- tendant responsibilities." That being the case, why should Puerto Rico not now be admitted to the Union as the 49th state? Approximately 99 per cent of her people are citizens of the United States, and more than half of them are natural-born citi- zens of the United States. Our Constitution permits overseas states to enter the Union, and both the Democratic and Republican par- ties have recommended statehood for Puerto Rico. Loss to our country of that island, the Hawaii of the Carribbean, would greatly weaken our defenses against a foreign enemy. And at the same time, to keep the stars on our flag balanced, 'why not take in the, territory of Alaska as the 50th state? Right now it is the most vital portion of the nation' in respect to the war in the Pacific and with the Alcan Highway completed, it is brought much closer to us. GET THE 'FEARS' STRAIGHT A recent advertisement shows the picture of a wife plowing in 1777, while her husband' was away ,fighting for their country's inde- pendence. The advertisemenit then 'stressed that by building up certain financial reserves one can gain "freedom from the ugliest feat of all-want." Nowhere was the point made that the wo- man plowing was doing a job to help free herself and her husband and her country of a fear much greater than that of financial want, namely, fear of tyranny, fear of oppres- sion, fear of injustice. "Freedom from fear" and "freedom from' want," as they are generally presented to our people today, seem to be based entirely on material things, as if easy living and a full stomach were the principal guarantees which we should worry about. The right to be independent and free of domination by any government, anything, o'r any bureaucracy, is what the 1777 woman and her husband were fighting for. A full stomach or financial security were the least of their fears. Bearing children doesn't make mothers.- Florida Times-Union. But it sure makes fa- thers get out and work harder. With federal, state, county and municipal politics warming up the poor voter is begin- ning to get that dizzy feeling again. Keep smiling! GETTING EVEN A man who had been bitten by a dog found that his wounds were not healing very well, so he con- sulted a doctor. The physician, alarmed by the man's appearance, had the dog caught and examined. The dog had rabies. It was much too late to give the man a serum, so the dloetbor was forced to tell him the bad news. "You, sir," hI said, shaking his head, "are going to die of hydro- phobia." , The poor man sat down at a. desk and began writing. The physician tried to comfort him. "Perhaps it won't be so bad," he said. "You needn't make out your will now." "I'm not making out my will," answered the man. "I'm writing out a list of people I'm going to bite." ------ -----..-- NOTICE Turn right now to the Porf iMe- ater advertisement anid 'e if your name is in it.

Editor Bill handed me a letter yesterday, saying, "Looks like this is more your type of copy'." It was a letter from County Agent Jake *White in -regard to the following birth announcement that appeared In last' week's issue:; 'Mr., and Mrs. J. B. White are the proud parents of a son,, born Monday. October 4. )Said our disconcerted and some- what puzzled county agent: Dear Editor Bill-If there is not another J. B. White in Port St. Joe, this AIN'T me. If there is an- other J. B. White, it 7s U. K. We had a baby March 15, 1943. So you see, having another at this time would be rushing things up a bit. Your friend, J. B. WHITE. (Jake to you) Well, it seems to me that unless there is another, J. B. White in this vicinity, Jake will have to take the blame, for after all, the youngster has to have a daddy. And while we're still on the baby topic, there's sure going to be one proud sergeant in the Army Air Corps "somewhere in England'," for in another column of this issue appears a birth announcement-it is TWINS for Sgt. and Mrs. Lu- cious L. Allen. And that ain't all, for if you can find a prouder grandfather than J. U. Baggett we'd like to see him. To hear him talk you'd think he brought those two bouncing boys, instead of the stork. Come to think of it, maybe he cd. Seems to me that he was on duty at the air- plane spotting tower that day-he probably saw Oldi Man Stork fly- ing over with the double burden and gave him a few instructions. I was watching Jimmy Greer the other day over at Miller's Standard service station. When a car drives up Jimmy comes dash- ing out with a shrill whoop (fig- uratively speaking, of course), a big smile and a cherry word. It- seems to do the trick, for that ser- vice station looks "like one of the busiest. in town. Quite a differ- ence between Jimmy and J. Lamar Miller. J. Lamar is more of thej slow, easy-goin' sort, with a "Whut ,kin we do for yo'-all" sort of ap- POLITICAL POT (Continued from page 1) or harangue, he, will talk straight from the shoulder. His promises, if any, will 'be few-and certain of fulifin'lent. He will give his lis- teners plenty to ponder over and think about, but there will be' little-. comfor.t offered those who seie more "rocking chair" money,, po- litical advantage, or less work and more pay. While not loud, the talk will be forceful and impressive, as is the man who makes it-Millard CaldVell. The Man from Miami, Senator Grhham, Is beiy-set, with, a shock of bu shy gray hair, wearing a not too well pressed suit and a shirt lodse at the throat. His smile is captivating because, it is real and not assumed. Blunt, strong and. vigorous, he tackles his problems head-on and with courage, putting everything he's got in the job 'till he gets it done, and his record',or success In his undertakings is out- standing. Like Caldwell, he'll be short on promises, but those he makes he'll mean and carry out. He hits straight from the shoulder and he hits hard, and because ot that characteristic he has plenty of friends who will stick with him. Well, there you have the picture as I see it. I have known all three of the candidates for many years, like themall all and admire certain qualities in each of them. The coming race: should 'be one of the most interesting and im- pressive in years, and if there ever was a time when the voters should consider and weigh their action, it is the present. There will be other candidates, of course, and, the pic- ture may change later on, but at the moment these three men hold the spotlight and none of them can be discounted. The "Green" light no longer shines alone-the warning light is lit and traffic awaits the next signal. Willkie occupies the peculiar po- sition of being somewhat of a black sheep in the Republican party and at the same time one of its outstanding white hopes. proach not that that's anything against him, he's just that sort of a likeable guyl, BACK UP litag THE STAR, PORT ST.

JOE FURNITURE COMPANY Quality Considered, We Are Never Undersold GOOD MORNING FOLKS: Yes, the heaters and stoves arrived, so bring your .certificate on down and pick out the one you want. They will range in price from about $12.95 up to $98.50. By the way, any of you who have any trouble in filling out your application for a certificate, bring it by the store and we will be glad to help you with it. Some of you have been inquiring recently about a nice bedroom suite. We just received a few solid rock maple suites and mahogany suites. These are "pre-war" suites and the chests and dressers have dust-proof drawers and center guides. If you have been looking for a really nice suite, of ex- ceptional quality and workmanship, come down and look these over. The maple suite sells for $146.50 and the mahogany $196.50. Of course we have other type suites, too, from $69.50 up. Those of you who are cramped for closet space in your bedroom, why not look over our "Utillo Robes" and chifforobes? The chifforobes are of all-wood construction and are really very nice. The "Utillo Robes" are nothing to brag about, but they are very inexpensive and might serve-your purpose. They run from $6.95 to $14.95. I see we have some ironing boards, unfinished breakfast room tables and chairs and some fancy' looking marble-top tables coming in the back door. It would be mighty nice to have you come down and help me look this stuff over. We'll be looking for you. N. H. SASSER, JR., Manager, ST.

We home girls often work just as hard and have just as many Headaches, just as many Stomach Upsets and get just as Tired. About a year ago, I first used ALKA-SELTZER I find that it eases my Aching Head, takes the kinks out of Tired, Aching Muscles and brings relief when I have Acid Indigestion. The family says I am a lot easier to live with since I have known about Alka-Seltzer. Have you tried ALKA-SELT- ZER? If not, why don't you get a package-oday? Large package 600, Smalo package 300, also by the glass at Soda Fountains. << With the Colors >> (Continued from page 1) not yet have. I been to sea. At present, and for the past year and a half, I have been stationed here at Ft. Stevens as a radiio operator. I am now a second class petty officer, and am enjoying my work. This work is very. interesting and I like it. People knowing ine be- fore I entered the service can un- derstand why (it is a sitting down job). Your October 1 issue brought back to my memory three of my old schoolmate's, Will.is and Hoot Rowan and Carlyle Matthews. Wil- lis Rowan being one of my spe- cial buddies, I was much interested in finding out where he was. Re- cent issues of The Star also havw brought to memory my old friend, Monroe Duncan. I would like to take this opportunity to say hello to all the old school gang (assum- ing they take the paper), hoping we will all be able to .see eacu other again soon. I was stationed here when the enemy tossed a few crates over on our shores last June a year ago. No damage of importance was done, .but it wasn't because they didn't try. I saw and heard ehougn that night to get a damn good idea of what the word "war" means. It certainly makes me feel proud of Gulf county to see how the folks exceeded their war bond quota in the Third. War Loan. I, am closing with my hopes high at present of getting a leav1 for home in the near future. Hop- ing to see many of my old freinds and create new ones, I remain, Quincy L.

Copy of Stars and Stripes Received This week we received that copy of "The Stars and, Stripes" that Sgt. Aubrey Williams said he had mailed us. It is considerably dir- ferent from The Stars and Stripes we read in the last war, that is, from a newspaper man's viewpoint. Many thanks, Sgt. Williams we haven't had time to look it over real well yet, but will shortly. If any of the rest of you fellows care to send us copies of The Stars and Stripes and "Yank," you can be sure that we'll appreciate them. Star Goes To Two More Mrs. M. P.
