Mr.,and Mrs. W. J. Harrelson of
this city, who enlisted in the
Army Air Forces August 7, 1941,
and is now stationed at Mather
Field, near Sacramento, Calif.
Sgt. 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.

Capt. Dickens At Nearby Camp
We just learned this week that
Capt. Giaston Dickens,, son of Mr.

been there for a month or more.

Billy Bowen 'Busy'
Mrs. J. A. Christmas, who had
been considerably worried because
she hadl had no word from her
son, Pvt. 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

'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

like as far as the war is concerned
Hoot is out of it. We wouldn't be

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. Payne, who is
in charge of operaTions at the
Sunniland, well of the Humble, Oil
company of Houston, Texas, em-
phasized the quality and quantity,
of the newly-found black gold is
still to be determined.
"We've still got a lot of work
to do," said Payne, following an-
nouncement last week that th,'
well had come in and was produc-
ing at 11,627 feet. He said the well
had been swabbed) and there; was.
about 30 per cent. r-:'- iiii n water
at that depth.
"I don't know whether that per-
centage is sufficient in this deep
well for commercial purposes or
not," he said. "We now are, trying
to stop the inflow of water into
the well to make further tests."
Payne said several hundred bar-
rels of heavy black crude oil had
been placed in storage tanks at
the field. "It is a pretty fair grade
of oil" he said), adding, "but we
don't know about the grade ac-

The best news to hit Port St.

yesterday in the form of a tele-

Robert K. Creighton, director of
the National Ho.using Agency at
Atlanta, Ga-, stating that 75 new
houses could be built in. Port St.

telegram follows:
Mayor J. LSharit,
Port St. Joe, Florida.
'Wish to advise quota estab-
lished for construction of, 75

Mr. Sharit said yesterday that
anyone owning property can build

that the initial cost would be in

Lost Last Friday Afternoon To
Bristol Squad By Score
Of .46 to 24

By LYNN TAUNTON
This evening, under the lights
at Centennial Field, the St. Joe
High Sharks meet the Chapman
High football squad from Apa-
lachicola in their fifth game of the
season. 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.
Evans. left end; John Williams,
center; Charles Alexander, right
end; Alfred Rhames, quarterback;


Quincy had been recommended.
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.

In New York, Wallace Pratt,

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.

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."

After realizing that the officers

WE'VE VOLUNTEERED

For Service on the Farm Front


PROTEIN feeds are scarce. We
can't sell more. So what we can
sell must count for more. This
means we dare not waste good feed
on unthrifty livestock or poultry.
We must cull unprofitable produc-
ers-save extra pigs--stamp out
disease and parasites-cut down
mortality prevent costly waste.
We know from our many farm
contacts that most production losses
are preventable. And we are con-
vinced that our wartime food goals
can be reached, without additional
labor or expense, and with the feed
we now have, simply' by plugging un-
necessary production leaks and pre-
venting feed waste.
To this end, and as our part in
helping to win the
war, we are volun-, 0l
steering our serv- __ _


ices to all livestock and poultry
owners of this community.

Regardless of the feed you use,
we will gladly call at your farm to
assist you in such feed-and-food-sav-
ing practices as culling chickens,
worming pigs, checking feed and
watering space, etc.

We will also help you with "Pro-
duction Surveys" of your livestock
and poultry, based on a series of
war-time guides, suggested and rec-
ommended by both national and
state agricultural authorities.

Our service is offered solely in
the interest of "More Food for
Victory," and our call will not obli-
gate you in any way. See us for a
"Feed Stretcher

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.
It is wholly possible that the
Everglades may some day be one of
America's largest industrial and agri-
cultural centers, producing finished
products for market from'raw ma.-

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. Yesterday we n
received a letter from a subscriber in Louisi- t
ana asking us to "Please send me page A4553
of the Congressional Record--Appendix, Oc- r
tober 12, so that I can finish reading Claude t
Pepper's address to the Young Democratic h
Clubs of West Virginia." Now ain't that 1
something? If the subscriber who received t
their copy of The Star wrapped in that page s
will send it in to us, we will forward ii to (
our Louisiana friend. 11

By THE OTHER FELLOW

Hallowe'en. Brings back
memories of my younger days. 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

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).

Baptist Pastor.

KEEP RATION BOOK 3
Reports that War Ration Book
3 would be s)erapped when Book 4
was issued are untrue. Houge-
wives will continue to use brown
stamps in Book 3 for rationed
meats and fats. Eventually Book
4 will be sufficient for all the ra-
tioned commodities, but until that
time all copies of Book 3 should-
be guarded carefully.

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 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.

CALDWELL, GRAHAM

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

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?
