Harrelson, who is a former 'pilot on Lee's Bus Line, about three weeks ago was awarded \the Good Conduct Ribbon for exemplary behavior. Seems to us that before a fellow is given a good conduct ribbon he should be compelled to furnish his home newspaper with a good picture. The above of the big lug was the best available, and it isn't so hot. Capt. Dickens At Nearby Camp We just learned this week that Capt. Giaston Dickens,, son of Mr. and Mrs. B. H. Dickens, is now stationed at Camp Gordon Johns- ton, near Carrabelle. Seems he's been there for a month or more. We're going to hop on Cap'n Ben for withholding military informa- tion.

Billy Bowen, who is with the American Fifth Armyi in Italy, received a letter this week from him in which he apologized for not writing for six weeks, but that he had "been too busy." Seems that Billy participated in the hog- killing at Salerno and the Volturno Tiver. 'Hoot' Rowan Still In Hospital Frank Rowan states that his son, Rennell "Hoot" Rowan, is still in the camp hospital at Do- than, Ala., where he is receiving treatment for a crack on the head received while, swimming.

Value of New Oil Well Unproved, Says Geologist Quantity and Quality of Newly Found Black Gold Still To Be Determined All of Florida is excited over the discovery of oil in Collier county, about 100 miles west of Miami, but Jolin B.

This is the second meet- ing of the two. teams and specta- tors andl critics who have voiced their opinions seem to think that the. game will be close. The first game with Apalach was the first tilt of the season for the Sharks and everyone believes that the lo- cal boys have 'shown considerable improvement since then. Score at the last game was 20 to 12, but tonight the Sharks swear to re- verse those figures. Last Friday afternoon the local squad was defeated by the Bristol boys 46 to 24. Coach Frank Hannon gives the probable starting lineup for this evening's game as follows: J. C.

The preference ratings issued under the order will allow the in- stallation of stoves, refrigerators and hot water heaters and provide for all necessary electric conduits and; wiring. The new dwellings may be oc- cupied! by the owners or built for rental purposes. A lot of property owners have been bemoaning the fact that they were unable to build, much as they would like to. Now they are being offered the opportunity, and we hope to see new homes spring- ing on every hand within a short time. SERVICEMEN WILL BE HONORED ON SUNDAY Rev. 0. D.

In New York, Wallace Pratt, geologist and vice-president of Standard Oil Company of New Jer- sey,, of which the Humble Oil company is a subsidiary, indi- cated that it may prove to be the most important petroleum find In the United States since develop- ment of the, new Illinois fields. Pratt said that .oil had risen in the well to within a few hundred feet of the surface. The black oil is of a heavy type, high in fuel content, which is characteristic of Gulf coast production. A fair vol- ume of natural gas is produces with the oil. Pointing out that it was too early to estimate the size of the well or its full geological signifi- cance, Pratt emphasized, however, that the discovery has "timely im- portance," as indicating a new source, of crude in a period of de- clining oil discoveries in the United States. Meanwhile, work is continuing at the well 24 hours a day. The well was spudded in last February. The original hole was started at 26 inches, but as it has been driven by rotary drills more than two miles into the earth, it has been graduated down until it is only six and three-quarters inches at the bottom. The prime importance at this WA on -*"B a I l time, of the discovery of oil la O t Florida is the fact that it now m established that oil is here.

JOE, GULF COUNTY, FLORIDA Purina Merchant Offers Help In Plugging Poultry Losses Hens Can Do Better Job of Laying Victory Eggs, National Survey Reveals Poultry owners in this community are doing an outstanding job of cooperating with the government in the production of more eggs, but still greater goals can be reached by adopting a few simple rules of better management, more thorough sanitation and more careful feeding, says the Purina Merchant of this city. "The average farm hen hereabouts lays 110 eggs a year," he states. "With only a little extra care, and on the same or even less feed, she can lay 180 eggs. From an average flock of 100 layers, this would amount to 583 additional dozens of eggs-enough extra to feed 20 fight- ing men a whole year". How It Can Be Done This statement is based on a sur- vey conducted recently in 7,312 aver- age U. S. poultry flocks. The survey showed: 97.2 percent of flocks needed some cor- rectioi which would increase egg production. 66.4 percent of flocks were producing at less than 60 percent. 50.4 percent had too little housing space. 31.1 percent had too much housing space. 82 percent had too little feed and water equipment. 39.4 percent had diseases or parasites. 24.3 percent took more than 6 months to get pullets into production. 38.5 percent never have raised a fall brood of chicks. Dealer Volunteers Service To plug these and other produc- tion leaks, the Purina Merchant is sponsoring a "Food for Victory Cru- sade" in which he or one of his trained appointees will visit local poultry flocks and assist in the prac- tical application of a series of rec- ommended poultry practices which have been approved by state and na- tional agricultural authorities. This service is offered not in a spirit of telling poultrymen how to run their business, but as a helpful check-up to increase profits as well as produce more food for Victory. "We are in the toughest war in history," the dealer states. "We must win victory at home before we win abroad. Everybody knows we must keep our fighters well fed. The Food for Victory Crusade offers us a chance to help our farm friends who are fighting the crucial Battle of Food. We have nothing to sell but Service, and are ready to go wher- ever needed, regardless of the feed being used." gram will follow to Midshipman's school."

In this first issue is an article, "Progress at Milligan," written by E. L. Eells, son of Mr. and Mrs. B. W. Eells of this city. The ai- ticle says, in part: - "When we' first afrived here at Milligan, we asked three ques- tions: Where? When? and) How? observed. For instance, the unit as a whole was timorous in becoming acquainted with the officers, and as a result, the staff 'was shunned.

Towering high over the rich green acres of the Everglades are these four smokestacks marked with the letters "U. S. S. C." This prophetic landmark, visible for many miles across the vast plain of the Glades, symbolizes the shape of things to come-agro-industry, employment, wealth, living comfort for thousands in a new agro-indus- trial empire in the heart of the world's most fertile agricultural area. Nowhere else on earth is the soil so productive... nor has any other region so stubbornly resisted 'man's efforts to make the land yield its riches. Within recent years, however, engineering skill and modern science have tamed the wild wealth of the Everglades. In the far-flung sugar plantations of the United States Sugar Corpora- tion and the great raw-sugar house, largest in the United States, over which these smokestacks tower you have a glimpse-and only a glimpse -of the incredible agro-industrial promise of nature's most incredible garden-spot.

Our Country Right or Wrong OIL DISCOVERY VITAL AT THIS TIME The discovery of oil in Collier county last week, in what it is hoped will be paying quan- tities, is .of vital importance at this time, not particularly to the state of Florida, but to the nation as 'a whole, for if this test well does prove to be a producer it will open up a new oil producing field of untold possibilities. It requires literally billions of barrels of oil to run a mechanized war. No other nation was as' well equipped to produce oil either by nature or by the enterprise of its citizens as this nation was when war came. We had huge oil reserves in the ground and operators who knew how to get that oil out of the ground. And they got it out in astronomical quantities upon very short notice. But then something else popped up. Many months ago oil men began warning that the nation's oil reserves were being used faster than the rate of discovery. This was due to the fact that the cost of wildcattingg" is far too high in relation to the price of oil, which is se.t by government decree. But now, with ane fi:1l. alp.,.'. ,tl, "proved," we may ex- pect to "'i. v" wel'.put-dowrL in L r'ge. numbers not only in Florida, but in Georgia, too, for if the'discovery well proves to be a producer, ,other concerns and individuals will be willing to risk their money in the quest for the black gold. Indicative of this is the fact that this week a bid has been made for a lease on 1,091,855 acres of 'state-owned land in the Everglaaes, leases already obtained in Gulf, Calhoun, Bay, Washington, Jackson and Walton counties, and the purchase of 150,000 acres near Pan- ama City recently by an independent oil com- pany. We wouldn't be at all surprised to see wells "spudded in" shortly in all sections of Florida, with rigs equipped to go two miles or more in depth. MAY EASE DEFENSE RESTRICTIONS htate defense council directors of Florida and other states in this region have recom- mended to the army that no further surprise blackouts or air raid drills be held in view of the war's successful progress and the attend- ant falling off in submarine attacks along our coasts, and that existing dimout regulations be eased to some extent. Such a move would coincide with the re- cent virtual discontinuance of our airplane warning service, and if military authorities do fall in with this' suggestion it will be re- ceived generally in this section with satisfac- tion, since, there has been current here for - some time a feeling that such restrictions could be lessened to advantage without en- dangering the war effort. In all probability, if such action is taken by military authorities, there will also be a lifting to some extent of the present dimout regulations. Of course, tlh'e public has no wish to enjoy such advantages at the expense of the war effort, and >will accept the military's ruling in such matter. w. thout question. It is often difficult to decide whether to tell the truth or hire a lawyer. STRATOSPHERE REGULATION Several years ago Senator McCarran of Ne- vada said of the rapidly growing aviation in- dustry: "I believe, if not now, very shortly, in this science and in this industry we will come to a point where we must forget state lines." He was referring principally to the opera- tion of commercial airlines. He was one of the first to realize the potential difficulties of local regulation over this form of carrier. Modern air transportation crosses entire states in a matter of minutes. If each state sought to invoke its own rules for airline operation, the result would be chaos. A bill is before congress which incorpor- ates points for which the senator has been working for years: First, the restoration of complete independence for the administrative agency regulating civil aviation, instead of having it a bureau in the department of com- merce; second, extending federal regulation to cover all commercial air transportation, both within and between states. Aviation companies, like Senator McCar- ran, realize that "state lines have not pene- trated to the stratosphere," and aircraft reg- ulation, to be sound, must embody this fun- damental concept. TO THE CHILDREN OF GULF COUNTY Children of Gulf county, this is YOUR war, too. Your brothers, fathers -and sisters, and perhaps your mothers, are -serving in the armed forces fighting for our liberties, and are expecting you to help keep the home front safe. Right now; children, you must carry on many of the things your parents started and do the things your parents think are so im- portant to improve your ideals and policies. Keep well yourselves, keep out of danger- ous places, don't play on the streets, see that yojlc yaxd. is tidy. Look around your homes aud se.-tlat there are no toys or articles on the floor'that one might trip over, keep your steps clean, don't you or your brothers or sisters play with matches. And above all, be' a good citizen. Not only can you collect scrap metals, fats, etc., but you can help stop accidents both at home and on the streets. Any accident that happens to your parents, many of whom are working in war industries, whether the acci- dent happens at home, on the street or in the factory, is delaying our war effort. You children want all of your loved. ones who are fighting our battles, to come home as soon as possible. This can be done if all of us will work and play safely. . You boys and girls are taught in school the 1 dangers of the street, whether you are on foot or in a car, and also how to keep your home safe. Tell your parents the safe way to do a thing-they will listen to you because you are dear to them-and in this way you can make your home safe, and your parents safety conscious. It is up to you now to carry on. Don't fail. t After casually glancing through the Con- gressional Record, which we receive daily, we cut it apart and use it to mail "singles," that is, those copies of The Star that go to one s subscriber outside Gulf county.

I can remember when we took Dea- con Jones' Model T Ford apart, laboriously hoisted it-to the top 0of his barn and reassembled it. A work of art, indeed, but I don't believe I'd have the energy to as- sist in such a& iifheuver tonight" And, too, it was always customary to carry two or three of those old- fashioned outhouses onto the' main street and appropriate local store. signs" to hang on them. And gates! The wise property owner always took in his gate before Hallow- e'en. And another favorite: stunt was to run a wire from the bell in the schoolhouse to a nearby tree, remove. the bell rope and the lad- der to the belfry and then take turns climbing up the tree to keep the bell m'yster'iofisly ringing th1e greater part of the night, or until the' janitor could find a ladder suf- ficiently long to get up into the belfrey and cut the wire. . Ah, yes, those were, the days. We didn't stoop to such childish acts as soaping windows or carrying jack-'o-lanterns about. And mentioning Hallowe'en - don't fail to take in the. P.-T. A. Carnival tomorrow and the Port theater midnight Spook Show to- morrow night. Fun for all at the carnival and thrills and chills at the spook show. Joe Mira, candidate for school trustee, was bragging thee, other day how good he was getting to be with a throw net. When asked how many mullet he caught, he said "four," and when asked how many -casts he' had made, he re- plied, "about five' hundred'." Is that good or bad? I wouldn't know, having tackled a casting iet only once and coming out on he losing end with a bunch of knots on my head where those ead. weights whanged me. Ac- uaUlly I looked like an oversize Somebodys Going To Criticize the Preacher! No matter how careful God's preachers are, there is someone who can and will find fault. Judg- ing from what these critics say, alr uninformed person would de- cide that a preacher never does anything quite right. If the preacher does not "prac- tice what he preaches" he is a .hypocrite; if he' does practice it, he, is a "religious fanaticc". If .he'" preaches the Word of God straight from the shoulder, he is too strict; if he id:,.- not ,d,. this, he is guilty of "' itt-ioariurg." If he talks to people frankly and pointedly about their salvation, he. is tactless; it he does not 'do, so, he is not inter- ested in their souls. .If he takes his task seriously and really works hard at it, he is killing himself needlessly; if he does not work at it day and night, he is just, plain lazy. If he ac- cepts a call to another church it is because the salary is larger; if he declines the call, he should have accepte-d, because the pres- ent church will die if he stays. No matter what the preacher does or how he does it, somebody Is going to criticize him! How reassuring are the words of Jesus just here: "Blessed, are ye, when men shall revile you and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely,, for my, sake. Rejoice and be ex- ceeding glad: for great is your re- ward in Heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets who were be- fore you" (0Matt. 5:11, 12). R. F. HALLFORD, Baptist Pastor.

We have a very interesting hu- man interest story this week. Just to show how much like human beings dogs are, we give you the following true story: Tuesday of last week, while playing during physical education, Bertha Mad- dox 'laid her books, glasses case and some money down on the ground. At the end of the period she couldn't find her money, and Bunny Martin couldn't find some of her books. The entire class was called to the office and questioned but they all said they hadn't seen the money or the bpoks. Late that afternoon Prof. Biggart received a call from Mrs. Charles McClellan,, and books in. her yard where a small dog had put them. Guess he knew the smell of that money.

The body was taken to Pitts- burgh, Penn., his home, for burial, The question of whether fed- eral aid should be extended the public schools of the states should be submitted to the people in the form of a constitutional amend- ment, contends Senator Charles Andrews of this state. He has submitted a joint resolu- tion in congress embodying the proposed amendment which would prohibit federal control of funds appropriated for public school purposes. He told the senate that attempts during the past ten years to pro- vide federal funds, for schools had met with defeat because of the belief that thie schools might ulti- mately "be controlled from Wash- ington as to their curriculum, per- sonnel andi method and manner of teachingg" The weeks of argument which have surrounded school aid in the senate might be avoided by put- tihg the. issue directly before the people through the constitutional amendment plan, he said. WRITER SEES SECOND PLACE FIGHT BETWEEN CALDWELL, GRAHAM Henning Heldt, political writer of the Miami Herald, sees the big- gest scrap in the next governor's race in the first primary between Ernest Graham and Millard Cald- well for the second spot and a chance to face Lex Green in the runoff. Both Graham and Cald- well, he points out, are very strong in their respective sections and relatively weak in each others. With a heavy South Florida vote assured from the start, Gra- ham would seem to have the edigfe and his supporters feel he will de- velop strong support in the rural areas. Caldwell is expected to carry North and West Florida, while Jacksonville and Tampa are big question marks. HOUSE SAYS TAKE SINGLE MEN FIRST With an enthusiastic volley of "ay;es" the house Tuesday passed legislation requiring selective ser- vice to take all available single men and childless married men in the entire nation before drafting fathers. This rule would apply regard- less of the faithe~s' occupation. Under the measure. which now is before the senate, a father is de- fined as a man with children born prior to september 15, 1942. DIMOUT RULES WILL BE EASED (Continued From Page 1) moon. City officials have. asked that the Florida Power corpora- tion remove the large cans that have been placed over all lights during the blackout period. However, with the lifting of the dimout regulations, the public is still requested to, go easy nl the. use of electricity in order to continue to save manpower, fuel, equipment and critical materials urgently needed for war purposes. It is asked that burning hours of electric signs be reduced so far as practicable and in no case bura, for an interval .exceeding twu hours, and only during the period from dusk until 10 p. m. The same applies to the lighting of show windows. Householders are asked to elim- inate all waste in the use of vari- ous electric appliances such as re- frigerators, radios, ranges, water heaters, etc., and to. turn off lights and, appliances when not actually needed. Everyone is urged to co-operate fully with this program, as it is their patriotic duty as a means of furthering the war effort. tions affecting agricultural work- ers, it was announced this week by L. H. Pearce, manager of the U. S. Employment Service of the War Manpower Commission. Gum turpentine enterprises in Gulf and adjoining counties will be. among those, affected by the new ruling, which declares the turpentine industry essential. "No employee from the turpen- tine industry can go to any other war industry without proper re- lease.," Pearce explained. "It had been previously ruled that agri- cultural workers could be released temporarily to work when needed in war industries, Put tal;s new regulation removes, the turpentine workers from the same classifica- tion" with agricultural labor.'" Axis financial experts are say- ing that gold is no longer of value as a medium of exchange. nThat's a pretty big bunch of sour grapes Uncle Sam has buried at Fort Knox, isn't It? TOYS! TOYS!
