Mrs. Marc L. Fleishel Jr., Gulf
county chairman of the Children's
Home Society, announced yester-
day that the annual drive to raise
funds, clothing -and canned goods
for the home, will start Monday,
November 15.

"bility of taking care of the ex-
penses, of the home.
Boxes will be placed in all gro-
cery stores for donations, of cash
or canned goods. Other boxes wil1
be placed in the schools, and the
children are asked to contribute
clothing. Also the committee will

NEW SUBSCRIBERS

On the first of November the
names of nine subscribers were
removed from The Star's mail-
ing list, that number having
failed to renew their subscrip-
tions during the month of Octo-
ber after being notified twice.
Five of those nine have been
replaced by the following new
subscribers: Dan Brooks Jr., E.
Hall, Miss Mary Lou Williams
and C. M. Palmer, all of this
city, and Miss Marie Roberts of
Panama City.
This leaves four vacancies on
the mailing list for the balance
of November.

Our Country Right or Wrong

NO ARMISTICE DAY-BUT A JOB
Twenty-five years ago-on November 11,
1918-this country went wild with joy. The
-war had ended. The boys were coming home
'again. Today our boys are back on the battle-
"fields, fighting for the same ideals, the same
.freedom that their fathers thought they had
.won.
Consequently there was. little or no cause
'for celebration of 'Armistice Day yesterday,
'although a, reversal in the fortunes of the
Axis and the Allies made it a much happier
anniversary than it was a year ago.
Armistice Day 1943 was not a day for cele-
"bration. It was not a holiday on the home
'front. It certainly wasn't on the fighting
.fronts of Europe or in the fox-holes of South
Pacific islands. The Army, the Navy, the Air
'Corps and the Marines didn't take the day off.
American war plants worked as usual on
November 11. The men who build our planes,
tanks, guns and ships continued tq turn out
the weapons of war that will hasten the de-
feat of the Axis and another Armistice Day.
Gulf county 'doesti't have any large war
plants. It doesn't build ships, planes or guns.
But it does have a war job. It does have a-
war industry. It is the cutting of pulpwood,
a vital war material.
Our boys in the service number approxi-
mately 850. That is our quota of extra cords
for the new pulpwood drive, November 11 to
December 11.
Armistice Day, though it has lost its or-
iginal meaning and in future will be in the
same class with Memorial Day, should be re-
dedicated in Gulf county by enough voluntary
pledges to assure the cutting of an extra cord
of pulpwood for every local boy in service.
Thus this county will be doing its bit to
keep our boys fully supplied. And it may well
shorten- the war and thus bring those boys
back home that much sooner.

IT'S A DATE-DECEMBER 10
If you were operating a railroad, an ex-
press company, or the postoffice, you would
be looking ahead with apprehension to the
flood of Christmas packages which will be
seeking transportation shortly. You would
know that one human failing is to leave the
Christmas shopping and Christmas shipping
until the last minute.
Make December 10 a deadline for shipping
Christmas packages to be delivered in the
United States.
If you want your packages delivered before
Christmas, be sure to have them in the mail
by December 10. And remember that packing,
wrapping and addressing should be done more
carefully than ever before to withstand the
stress of record-breaking shipments and de-
livery problems. Let's all help!

Ever been behind the eight-ball and have
somebody come along and tell you to look for
the silver lining?

As a general rule, people are more inter-
ested in somebody's scandal than they are
over somebody's siucess.


RECOGNITION AT LAST!
War has one virtue. It reawakens a peo-
ple's sense of values. For example, in peace-
time everyone takes the local paper pretty
much for granted. Its value to the community
and to the ideals of freedom which the editor
symbolizes with every opinion he expresses,
is almost wholly lost to sight.
In ordinary times, as the editor of The
Star has been painfully reminded, there is an
arbitrary value placed on his services. But to-
day circumstances haNe changed. The nation
is at war. It is at war to restore freedom to
other nations and to perpetuate' it in this
country. Our people have had abundant op-
portunity to contemplate the horror of na-
tions where freedom is dead.
,Our business men, with the exception of W.
C. Roche, who believes that a walking sign
exerts more influence on the public than a
newspaper, have observed ,that in those na-
tions disappearance of personal liberty was
accompanied by the disappearance of the viru-
lent free-thinking and free-speaking editor.
After the disappearance of the editor came
the iron hand of dictatorship. It is not sur-
prising that the people should. begin to look
upon the editor and the free press he repre-
sents as something to be preserved'at :all costs
in this country.
Many people do not realize it, but the judg-
ing of a community,. nine times out of ten, is
based strictly on the type of' newspaper that
community has. Industry knows the value of
a newspaper, and in making inquiries about a
community, the first thing it does is send for
a copy of the local paper. Representatives of
industry know that the newspaper renders a
service far beyond selling a few yards of Cos-
tin's dress goods. They know that the news-
paper keeps freedom alive something that
cannot be measured in dollars and cents, or
bought by the inch.

WHO IS TO BLAME? P
All we know about the coal situation is I
what we read in the newspapers and hear 1
over the radio, but it seems to us that the r
present controversy is threatening coal pro- r
duction. Strikes are now occurring for the 0
third time this year.
We in Port St. Joe are not paritcularly I
bothered, personally, by the threatened coal v
shortage, but as the grip of winter tighten i
and war production is endangered bly lack of a
coal, and as more American men fall over-
seas, all of us are going to want to know who B
is to blame for this unnecessary coal short-
age. b
There are three possible culprits labor, d
the government or the mine operators. n
The blame can hardly be placed on the op- a
erators of the coal mines, because under the In
existing wartime system built up by the gov- a
ernment they do as they are told, even to the t
extent of handing their properties over to the
government. to
Labor, however, mainly in the form of 1i
John L. Lewis, has proved more than once
that it can dictate to the government' in the rm
matter of coal production. Therefore, govern- 10
ment authorities, who have total control of fa
the coal mines and labor, yet who allow Lewis st
and his cohorts to tell them what to do, must y(
assume responsibility for mine closings. no

WAR USE FOR THREE
PRODUCTS SOUGHT

Efforts are being made to en-
courage the commercial exploita-
tion of three critical war materials
kyanite, rutile and zurxonite -
minerals known to exist in the
sands of both coasts of Florida.
Congressmen Sikes and Peterson
have 'been studying the matter and
believe that there is a real oppor-
tunity represented in the recovery
of these valuable substances if
mining interests can be interested.
New discoveries of the 'existence
of these minerals have been re-
ported recently both from areas in
Sikes' and Peterson's districts, as
well as along the Florida east
coast. .Similar deposits. were, ex-
ploited successfully during the last
war, the congressmen point out,
and they hope to see a renewal of

Doom fo' ijseradoes!


T WENTY-FIVE years ago this world went wild with joy. The world
cried "Peace". But there was no peace. There was only a truce.

This time there must be no truce. This wood-cutting areas are asked to


time we are grimly determined to see
the job through. We will make what-
ever sacrifice is necessary. We won't
let it happen again.
Armistice Day this year marks the
beginning of a new call upon our pa-
triotism. A call directed especially to
the people of this community.
One of the gravest threats to our
all-out war effort is a shortage of
pulpwood. We who live in the pulp-


make good that shortage. We will be
paid for our wood, of course. But we
are asked to do it as our special part
in the war-backing up our own boys
in the service.
In whose honor will you cut your
cord? A son? A brother? A friend?
Give us his name, and yours, so
that both may be entered on the roll
of honor. No boy shall die because
we failed.

ments of these two essential Vi-
tamins. Insufficient Vitamin A may

the body to make use of the calcium
and phosphorus in our food.
Insure your minimum requirements
of these two important Vitamins, by
taking a ONE-A-DAY Vitamin A
and D Tablet every day.
Economical-500' or less per
month.
Convenient-you take only one
tablet a Qlay.
Pleasant-children actually like
the taste- and so will you.
IMPORTANT-when buying Vita-
mins, compare potencies and prices.
Get them at your drug store.
