October 14, 1943 Dear Mr. ,Smith-I was reading ,in the leading Friday morning newspaper fn the best city I know of, about your suggestion of wrap- q ping the servicemen's gifts, in ha newspaper. I know from experi- ence that your suggestion is a very good one. When I was in Pennsyl- vania my sister-in-law sent mae a cake wrapped in some Florida pa- pers and we fellows from Florida surely did have one fine time read- ing the home state news, even it -:iWs a little old at the time. We are all the time reading comic 'books or any reading matter that we can find. I think the people ati home should be told more and more to send newspapers,and mag- azines along with the presents.

WOMEN OF OAK GROVE WILL MAKE DRESSINGS A third Red Cross surgical dressing room for this area was opened yesterday, in Oak Grove at the home of Mrs. G. A. Patton. A similar room was opened recently at the home of Mrs. J. A. Christ- mas in Highland View. These two rooms will be oper- ated in addition to the regular Rea Cross room in the depot, which is in charge of Mrs. Lovie Coburn, source, the city dads Tuesday eve- ning decided to look elsewhere for a supply of the vital fluid. It was- found that plenty of milk could be secured from the Fore- most Dairies in Atlanta, Ga., and that a supply was also available in Pensacola. The milk from At- lanta would have to come by ex- press to Monticello and be brought here by truck, while the city woula have to furnish trucks for delivery of milk from Pensacola. In either case this would run the cost above~ the OPA ceiling price. Mayor J. L. Sharit stated yes- terdiayi that the OPA had already agreed to allow a selling price of 19 cents per quart, but this was before it was discovered that it would be necessary to sell the milk from Atlanta at 24 cents--per quart in order to avoid a loss. Mayor Sharit yesterday sent a telegram to A. W. Pierpont, district OPA price executive at Jacksonville, re- questing that the city be allowed to distribute milk at this price un- til an OPA representative coulct come 0, this city to determine whether or not milk can be had at a cheaper price, and if so, from where. The mayor stated' that he had received word from a distributor in Panama City yesterday, repre- sentilig a Minneapolis, Minn., con- cern, that he would be able to sup- ply milk to Port St. Joe as soon as his truck arrived from the Min- nesota city, which should be with- in a few days. Mayor Sharit was expecting to confer with this dis- tributor late yesterday. Meanwhile, an order was placed with the Atlanta dairy for the ship- ment of 2000 quarts of milk, which, Red Cross surgical dressing chail- upon its arrival, will be distributed' man and instructor. from house to house by Brooks .- Kennington, just as he distributed Florida and California milk previous to 'the stoppage of To Dominate Air Travel the supply.

(-K OIL SHOWING IN EVERGLADE WELL- It was revealed this week that "salt water with a bona-fide show- ing of very heavy dark oil" has been recovered from the Humble Oil company's well being drillea at Sunniland, a small Everglades community. Samples have been sent to the state geologist. The Humble well, drilled to a depth of 11,598 feet, has a sevea- inch casing. Geologists in charge believe the showing of oil is com- ing through porous limestone of about 12 feet thickness. iMore than 100 wells have been sunk in Folrida in search of oil, but only a few have gone below a depth of 6000 feet. --K NAME OF LUMBER COMPANY CHANGED C. A. Soderberg, owner of the St. Joe Lumber company at High- land Vie'w, this week announced that he had changed the name of the concern to the Soderberg Lum- ber company. Reason for the change, accord- ng to Mr. Soderberg, is the fact hat the name of his concern anu the St. Joe Lumber & Export com- pany are too near alike.

Our Country Right or Wrong NAVY DAY Next'Wednesday, October 27, is Navy Day, a day which, with the country involved in war an' a large number of the young men of Gulf county in the navy, should hold greater interest than ever before for all of us. Navy- Day marks two anniversaries the anniversary 9f the birth of Theodore Roose- velt and the anniversary for the report of. a special committee to congress in 1777 which favored the buying of merchant ships as the foundation of an American navy. The American Navy League in 1922 sug- gested to President Harding that the day be observed. as Navy Day. The Navy League was founded in 1903 by a group of citizens interested in impressing' upon the people of this country the necessity for a navy and the uses to which it might be put. Theodore Roosevelt, who was then president, gave the suggestion his hearty support. Because of" his enthusiastic support of the plan it was STARDUST aud MOONSHINE By THE OTHER FELLOW ,Sichool trustee election coming up directly and apparently little in- ,terest being taken in it. Too bad the county redistricting election couldn't have been placed on the same ballot would have brought out a b1g vote on this postwar fund plan. Probably won't be over 100 votes cast in the election. . That is, unless somebody starts a write-in campaign against Glenn Boyles and' Joe Mira. And speaking of Glenn Boyles. 1 understand he and Editor Bill went fishing for bass up the canal the other day and didn't even get a strike. Got up at 5 a. m., too. ,. Some fishermen. And while we're on this matter of fish, I was in Cooper's ;barbel shop the other day and some Cracker was telling how he went fishing up on the Chipola river and caught his limit in ten min- utes. Seems he had just started fishing when he hooked a full string of fish somebody had lost, so he called it a day. Doc Norton has a new flame- better look out, Mrs. J. R. Wed- nesday afternoon "he was answer- ing call's with a filly named "Babe. 'Twas a horse, and Doc was riding her like he'd been born in the saddle. He looked good-almost as good as Rev. R. F. Hallford at- tending to the spiritual needs o4f his flock on a bicycle. Jake White says he's in the dog house because of that letter he wrote. to Editor Bill last week and which I published here. It seems that the neighbors are sympathizing, with Mrs. White over the waywardness of her hus- band. Well,, seems like Editor Bill. is full, up, with advertising. and has to cut down' on my space, again, so it is adios until -next -week, when bes says I can.. spread- myself. decided that his birthday be observed on the same day that Navy Day is observed. The first observance of the day was hela October 27, 1922. Appropriate ceremonies were held in various parts of the country con- sisting of parades, speaking and dinners. Admiral Hillary P. Jones, commander-in- chief of the Atlantic fleet, under orders laid a wreath on the Roosevelt tomb at Oyster Bay, New York. President Harding sent a message to Los Angeles to be read at the Roosevelt memorial celebration in that city. Secretary Denly of the navy department laid a wreath on the tomb of the Unknown Sol- dier in Arlington cemetery, and ceremonies were held before the statue of John Paul Jones in Potomac park in Washington. Spe- cial memorial services were held in the churches in New York city. In London the American legation placed a wreath upon the tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Westminstei Abbey. Similar services were held before the tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Paris. Hitler rescued his old pal, Mussolini, re- cently, and now he's probably wondering who is going to rescue him. The only one left is Hirohito, and that son of heaven seems to have his hands full at the moment. The Japs believe if they die on the battle- field they go straight to heaven where they will be provided with geisha girls and all the sake they want. In this regard. Pvt. General Sellers of Crestview, who has been honorably discharged from the army after being inca- pacitated while fighting on Guadalcanal, says "We didn't take many prisoners because we didn't want to interfere with anyone on their way to heaven. So wejust sent them on their way." CORRECTION, PLEASE Last week"we stated that W. S. Quarles had.r s.gn.ed,.4s member, of the school board'. This was a' slight error. Mr. Quarles resigned as a trustee and was accepted as a member of the county board. Mrs. Jesse Stone left last Friday for her home in Ozark, Ala., after a visit of several days here with Mr; and Mrs. T. H. Stone. She has just recently returned from Cail- fornia.,and Washington where her husband was stationed until his departure for an unknown desti- nation. Subscribe to The Star-$2 year. KEEP THEM ON THE JOB!

J~E, GULF COUNTY, FLORIDA FRIDAY, OCTOBER 22, 1943 << With the Colors (Continued from page 1) There is another thing I wanted to bring to the attention of the people at home, and: that is about one of the organizations that 1 have noticed -is doing a good job. It is the American Legion. Whilh I was seeing the sights of one so- called Hollywood, I looked at my watch. It was then -around 1 a. m. Sunday, and I suddenly realize that I hadn't secured a room for the night. I walked the city ovei and got the same answer from every hotel clerk: "You should have come in earlier, for we are always overcrowded on Saturday night." Then one clerk advised me to go to the American Legion. Well, I wondered what was at the Le- gion as I walked over there. When I got to the Legion home, before I knew what was happening, somit kind gentleman had handed me a card and told me that mine was number 49. He told, me to give ,It to the man in the auditorium. As I entered the auditorium, I saw that the seats had been removed and rows of cots installed. -I saw soldiers, sailors, coast guardsmen and marines sleeping side by side. The next morning I tried to pay for my cot, but .I was told there was no charge. I. left saying. that is one organization that the city of Hollywood should be proud of, aind I know the people are proud of the American Legion. I have always given, to the Rea Cross, and when it comes my time again to give to it, I am going to double my contribution.

Farmers of this community are answering the call with long hours, hard work, real sacrifice and true patriotism. But these are not enough. There are serious leaks to be plugged, and real problems to be over- come before we can possibly reach the tremendous food goals necessary for VICTORY. Feed is scarce-protein feeds in particular. We are doing everything in our power to supply our customers. But there is not enough to go around. We must therefore stretch our limited supplies to produce the most meat, milk and eggs. To do this, we must not waste precious feed on unthrifty livestock or poultry." We must cull un- profitable producers. We must stamp out disease and parasites as saboteurs of production. We must do a better job with what we have. We know from our many farm contacts that most of such losses can be pre- vented. We are convinced that our food goals can be reached without additional feed, labor The STORE with ST. JOE HARDWARE COMPANY "YOUR LOCAL FEED AND SEED STORE" *~ sq- . Availab '9 PORT ST.

Accordingly, as our part in the "Food for Vic- tory" effort, we have volunteered our services to the feeders of this community to help stamp out Pro- duction Saboteurs and Feed Wasters.' At any time of day or night' we will call at your farm to assist in such feed-saving practices as cull- ing chickens, worming pigs, disinfecting against disease and parasites, checking feeder and watering space, etc. We will also help' you with a war-time check-up of your feeding operations, based on a series of practical production guides suggested and recommended by both national knd state agricul- tural authorities.' We offer this service to all feeders of this com- munity 'whether they are outr customers or not- and to the full limit of our time, tires and gasoline.
