State Legislature Would Make Laws to Cut Red Tape for Service Men Voting and Repeal Cigaret Tax Governor Holland, attending the Orange Bowl game at Miami, ex- p.-essed the thought that it might be advisable to call a special ses- sion of the legislature to repeal the three-cent -cigaret tax in view of the fact that the revenue pro- duced from it is far beyond the amount anticipated, and. since rac- ing revenue, expected to drop, is now bringing in splendid) returns. At the time the cigaret tax was imposed, all indications pointed to a sharp decrease in state revenues from racing, and it was felt neces- sary to meet the emergency, but with the racing season now in op- eration, producing healthy reve-' nues, more funds than are needed are piling up in state funds. Several legislators have urged a special session to provide laws that would permit those in the armed services to vote with the least possible red tape and an- noyance. Such laws. were, provided in the last session, but legislators feel are not clear enough to meet the situation.

JOE At Inn Tuesday Little Miss Neueva Cowart is Miss 1944 of Port St. Joe, hav- ing been born at 1:00 a. m., January 1, 1944, at the Port St. Joe municipal hospital. The young lady, who tipped the scales at 6 pounds and 12 ounces,.. is the .daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Carl Cowart and was named Neueva be- cause she was born on New Year's Eve. insufficient Names On Redistricting Petition Daughter of Tallahassee Couple Here for Night Meets Death A tragic accident occurred at the Port Inn. Tuesday night when the six-months-old daughter of Mr. and, Mrs. N. R. Mar.h of .Tallahas- see was smothered- to death, Mrs. Marsh had come to this city with the baby from 'Tallahassee to be with her husband, a member of the crew of a tanker that put in here with a cargo of oil. They se- cured, a room at the Inn and upon retiring for the night placed the baby between them in the bed. The baby had been ill several Developments Leases In All Parts of Florida By Major Concerns Point to Sink- ing of More Test Wells The Ohio Oil company of Find- lay, Ohio, and. the Magnolia Pe- troleum corporation of Dallas, Texas, have opened offices in Tampa in order to keep closer check on the oil development situ- ation in this state. The latter com- pany is a subsidiary of the Socony- Vacuum company. The Humble Oil and Refining corporation, a subsidiary of the Standard Oil company, began a t:r't run on their Sunniland well in the Everglades last week in an effort to prove their claim to the $50,000 state award for the first company bringing in a commercial wel' in Florida. A 30-day test run on the well showed better than 100 barrels a day and the Humble company is erecting additional storage tanks to care for a flow of approximately 4000 ba:rels a month from the well. Major companies have been se- curing leases in practically every county in the state, and, all indica- tions point to the early develop- Iment of new wells in several sec- tions. Last week a stranger dropped in at The Star office and wanted to know if he could, get leases on ten or twenty thousand' acres of land in Gulf ,:ourint. He talked o'f -having millions bacic fhiiim and a new and startling methodof locat- ing o'il. He talked too much thru his. hat, and' the' editor told him to check with Clerk Joe Hunter at the court house in Wewahitchka. _- Local Women Assist At Hospital In Emergency A/C Robt. B.

Our Country ` Right or Wrong THE WAR GOES ON, AND SO MUST WE Two months ago The Star asked all who. could swing an axe to "Cut-a-Cord of Pulp- wood for Every Gulf County Boy in Service." The response has been splendid, but it ig too early to know whether the 1943 requirements 'for military and essential civilian needs have been met. Meanwhile, we cannot afford to halt or slow down on this vital war job any more than our boys in uniform can quit after mak-. .ing an advance against the Nazis or Japs. The war is far from won, and materials and supplies made of pulpwood are still being shipped in great volume to our far-flung fighting fronts. Gulf county boys on the battlefronts are speeding up their drives in every field of mili- tary operations. They face death or serious injury at every step of the torturous way,. while we on the home front enjoy comfort' and security. I The least we can do is to make certain that none of them will suffer additional hardships because we have failed to provide them with food, medical supplies, ammunition and equip- Inient--all of which are made of, or packed in- pulpwood ,products. So, even if you have cut a cord of pulpwood for a local boy in service, cut another. This new year we're beginning may be the decisive year of the war, and as the tempo of our attack increases, so does the need for pulpwood. Cut the Axis down-NOW- ANOTHER BOND DRIVE COMING UP Another War Bond drive is scheduled for this month and, of course, Gulf county will have its quota-probably larger than the last drive, since we went so far over the top in that one under the leadership of committee chairman Horace Soule. And we might say, since Horace made such a swell showing in the last' drive, that he be named county chairman in the forthcoming drive. Naturally we'd all have to pitch in and help him, just as we did last time, but that shouldn't be hard to do, since the ma- jority of those who aided in putting over that last drive stated that they had a lot of fun in doing it and that the effort expended resulted in a warm feeling around the heart as a result of aiding in our allout war effort. SHOULD BROADCAST BELLS Florida is losing, much valuable publicity and the nation's music lovers are being de- prived of a unique and preeminently satisfy- ing triweekly musical treat through the de- cision of those responsible for Bok Tower's carillon programs not to permit them to be broadcast on the air. This short-sighted policy is all the more deplorable at this time when thousands of persons who ordinarily make the trip to Lake Wales expressly to hear the singing tower programs are unable to do so because of .gas and tire rationing.. When Edward Bok conceived the idea of erecting the carillon on Florida's highest point, it was with the idea that it should be- come a source of enjoyment and inspiration to as many of his countrymen as possible. Un- der present arrangements, it is no exaggera- tion to say that this primary purpose' of his is not being achieved. Were Bok alive today, we ,believe that he would be the first to advocate such broad- casts as we have suggested. In view of which we respectfully urge Bok Tower officials to give the matter of broadcasting programs ad- ditional consideration.-.The Miami Post. Don't speak of another man's town as be- ing unique.

End the War in '44 BUY BONDS Cull Slacker Hens With Yellow Legs Puriuna Merchant Gives Handy Guide for Saving Feed Uncle Sam wants no "yellow" in his soldiers or in his hens. Yellow in the beak, legs and vent of a yearling hen indicates she's shirking her duty of laying "Victory Eggs." So says the Purina Merchant of this city who is assisting local poul- trymen to spot their culls in order to save the 64 pounds of feed consumed by non-layers yearly simply to stay alive. "These three signs of a cull hen are easy to detect," he states. From August to October, a poor layer will have a yellow beak, yellow legs and yellow vent. Nine out of ten good layers will have white legs, beak and vent." Market the Culls It is estimated that 1,360,000 'tons of feed were lost in the U. S. last year on non-laying hens. By culling only half of these unproductive hens, the Purina Merchant states, 680,000 tons of additional feed could he saved. In our locality this saving would go a long way toward elimi- nating the present feed shortage.' "Cull your flock today and get the yellow-legged ones to market," he advises. "Save the 64. pounds of feed each one is wasting yearly and feed the good hens all you can get them to eat. Do this for your own good, and for Extra Eggs for Victory." A woman who wears a strapless gown violates, the law of decency, says a reformer. We don't know about that, but we do think she comes dangerously near to violat- ing the law of gravitY. STARDUST and MOONSHINE By THE:OTHER FELLOW Well, -here I am back again after my three weeks,' holiday vacation -without pay. I had Editor Bill reprint one of myi Stardust .col- umns from the December 17,-1937 issue of The Star, and in spite of the fact that this. information, was placed at the head of the column the editor reports, that many peo-, ple came in to look, at the Christ- mas tree he was supp,-:iiO J to lhaiv' decorated. The town still looks the same, with the exception of The Star building, to which "something new has been added." It's .a second story on the front end, and in checking over the back files I find no mention of it. On querying Editor Bill, he replied: "Why go around shouting about it? People will, begin to think I've got money and ask me to pay up my bills."' He calls it his pent-house. Seems that Aunt Sallie Mont- gomecy took an unpremeditated bath recently-and it wasn't Sat- urday night, either. I'm told that she was fishing in Burgess Creek and sorta stepped out of the boat while it was in the, middle of the stream. I arrived back in St. Joe about 11 o'clock New Year's Eve and, as is my annual c6ugtom, hied myself to some altitudinous point (in this case. the AWS tower) to see the meeting and parting of years, and it was an unsteady and protesting 1943- I shoved ahead, of me up the steps. "You here in America have been swell to me," said the Old, Year, and began to weep, "but those Nazi sonsofblitzes over there, in Europe have been calling me all kinds, of vile names. Lissen, old pal, do you think I'm a bum?" and he wrung the tears from his long white beard. "The way has been long and hard," I told him, "but your past is almost ready to sail into the peacefulness of history and things forgotten-just like the New Deal. A fair journey, Old Timer, and I wish you well." And as I spoke, his face: lighted. up, his aged form stiffened with something like pride and his eyes caught the exaltation of the moment. He was almost noble. As I looked at him he began to fade, and on the stroke of midn'inght he disappeared-and. I was alone-o-r, so. I thought.. I heard a thumping on the roof of the observation room and a voice called, "Ahoy 'below!" I went out on the platform and there sitting, atop the roof was a little fellow with the serious.air of an Aduit. Along with the traditional plug .hat and flowing sash, het was garmented in care. I was rather startled for a 'nioment and at a loss for words, but finally man- aged. to blurt out, "Er, er, Happy New Year!" That seemed to rouse the new- comer. The worried look left his face and his. brow smoothed. He laughed, and' slapped me, on the- back. "You've saved my life!" he cit d. :."arid' what a load you have taken off my mind! They haye been making me maps and sched- ules, telling me just what to do and what not to do. They have, planned my life in a million ways and no two ways alike. Upon my shoulders they have loaded re- sponshility, and into my ears they have poured, warnings. I was told to' stay away from Europe and the South Pacific if I did. not want to get hurt. I must console the Re- publicans for not having a ghost of a chance; for electing Willkie. I was to bring cheer and hope to the downtrodden and afflicted - and so on, for worlds without end. You are the first to suggest that I might be happy. Whoopie!" And the New Year kicked' his silk topper into the lfilky Way. The New Year climbed down off the roof and we looked out over the city. It was, very quiet. No sounds of revelry could be leard. An owl flew by, hooted and apol- ogized. "I'll jump into this thing with all the joy and vigor of tradition" said the young fellow. "It's my year for what I make, it, and I'm going to make it a good. year, with victory for the Allies. .. Well, here I go. So long." And "Whoosh!" the, New Year was off. I watched him streak away and heard words come back.: "Watch my, smoke! It's the Great Adventure'!" I stood' alone on the platform. A gentle, breeze arose and my coat tails, flapped. I sighed, and the sigh was echoed from behind me. I turned and saw the apologetic owl sitting on the railing. "Whoo! Whoo!" he said, "Happy New Year! " "Same to you," I replied. "and do you know, old fellow, tonight I have met and conversed with a couple of Other Fellows." .------4,.----- EPISCOPAL CHURCH Services every Sunday evening at 7:30 o'clock. I I THE STAR, PORT ST.

S*** How Are Meeting the Pulpwood Challenge EARLY in 1943 when the country was faced with a disastrous pulpwood shortage, the Secretary of Agriculture said, "The only place we can look for additional supplies is from the farm woodlot". And the farmers of America did not let him down. Their patri- otic response helped a lot to supply much needed pulpwood for war industries. Now, as we enter 1944 It is clear that a serious pulpwood shortage will continue. But farmers have learned that pulpwood cutting is good business as well as sound patriotism. Now is the best time to thin wood- lots when pulpwood prices are at their peak. And recent rulings of the War Manpower Commission encourage farmers to cut pulpwood in off seasons by counting it as war unit credits to- ward deferment. And so the farmers of America are asked to make pulpwood cutting an important part of their 1944 work program. It is off- season work; profitable work; patriotic work. Do all you can. Your country needs every cord you can cut. Keep in touch with your !?cal pulpwood committee- ST.
