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. I 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 go It is predicted that postwar books will be dl printed on edible paper.

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 such *activity.

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. FILL OUT THE COUPON AND MAIL TODAY!
