T HE STAR The Home Newspaper of Northwest Florida's Future Industrial Center VOLUME VII PORT ST. JOE, FLORIDA, FRIDAY, JANUARY 14, 1944 NUMBER 16 (The Star wants photos of Gulf county men serving in tho armed forces. Pictures, which should be in uniform, will be returned.) SHIPPED OVERSEAS Sgt. Paul J. Farmer, with the Army Air Forces, writes his par- ents, Mr. and Mrs. P. D. Farmer of this city, that he has been shipped overseas and made the Atlantic crossing by plane.. This makes Paul James eligible .for membership in the Short Snorter club, if we remember the rules. MONROE DUNCAN WRITES THE EDITOR FROM ENGLAND England, Dec. 24, 1943 Dear Editor Bill-I have arrived .safely in England and I received the first edition of our home town paper today. :I never r-ailized. how interesting our paper really, is, for when a person is. so far-aw'ay-firom home, the news he receives thru his home paper is c mforting and indeed enjoyable. When I opened the paper and saw my. brother's picture there-- Thomas Duncan-I felt as if Tom had walked. in himself. I sincerely am grateful to-you -for that happy experience. There is a job to be done here- and I, like. all my buddies, am go- ing to try to do it as best I can. 'When this is over my ambition is to come back to .my family and Port St. Joe and hope to do, in civilian life, as well as I've done here. If you happen to print this let- ter it won't be complete without my saying "Hello,,Mom, I'm fine." To the- people of St. Joe I wish a most enjoyable and peaceful holi- day. Sincerely, Monroe Duncan. Goody and Tapper Meet In Italy 'T/Sgt. Wmin. M. Coody, brother of .Miss Myrtice Coody', is, now .. "somewhere in Italy" according to a ..letter received by Miss Coody this' week. Bill has' been in North Africa for several months prior to moving over to the "boot." He also w.ote that he had run into Liet. George Tapper in Italy, who is with the Air Force.

I New Insurance Plan for City is First In Natioi rmoC anv Offek C'r..iu G, pju pay & rers UKroup nos pitalization Policies To Citizens Through the efforts of the boari of directors of the, new Port St Joe municipal hospital, the Provi dent Life and Accident Insurance company, an old-line company es tablished in 1887, is trying an ex per-iment that has never before been attempted in the history of 'the insurance world-and that is insuring an entire community for hospital andi surgical care. For years, concerns with a large number of employes, like the St. Joe Paper company and the St. Joe Lumber & Export company have provided this type of group insar- ance for workers, the large num- ber of policies 'taken out assuring .a low premium, but, ars we stated, above, never before has this type of insuranIcoe been offered o an entire community. This is essentially the same pro- tection previously offered only to the 'employees of the paper com- pany and the lumber mill, apa, covers hospital, confinement and surgical operations resulting froni either accident or sickness. It pro- vides' for hospital room and board, hospital extras, surgeon's fees and maternity coverage up. to a maxi- mum of $220 for any onehliospitali- zation, and there is. no limit set as to the number of ihospitaliza- tions during a year. By glancing at the advertisement on page two of this issue of The, Star the lib- eral benefits pi'ovided may be studied.. The rates are exceptionally low for this type of insurance due to the group plan, and can include all members of a family. For, instance, a man and, wife, can carry this in- surance for $26 per year, and if they have one or more dependents the cost would be but $42 yearly. This is. one of the most starting innovations in the way of hospital insurance ever. offered to a .*'om- munity as a whole, and the people of Port St. Joe are urged to nves- tigate it fully fo, their own bene- fit and protection. Complete de- tails and' policies may be secured from Frank Hannon, with offices in :the St. Joe Motor company building. In order to ge.t the plan into suc- cessful operation as early as pos- sible the Provident company is (Continued on Page 4) MILLARD CALDWELL HERE- TOMORROW . :Mila'rIad "CaIldwell, candidate in the Florida gubernatorial race, has informed The Star -that he will, be in Port St. Joe Saturday morn- .ng about 10 o'clock to talk with his friends and. anyone else. inter- 1 tested about his campaign for the N governor's chair. jI Caldiwell, who qualified with Sec- ' retary, of State Bob-Gray Tuesday, i has never been defeated in any contest for public office, he has entered. .---- K---- R'eturns To Maryland' ,1 'James C.

The spoken word is lost; the printed word remains. Our Country Right or Wrong NO WAR BOND ADVERTISING, Unless individuals and firms come around and ask to pay for advertising for the Fourth War Bond Drive, there will be no such ad- vertising in The Star during the course of the campaign during which Gulf county is supposed to raise $105,500 in bonds. Here's the reason: The publisher of The Star has from the start of these drives fa- vored the principle of government paid adver- tising, and he will continue to do so. When the government wants beans, bullets, or any- thing else, it expects to, and does, pay for it,. yet the government expects newspaper publishers to secure sponsors for bond adver- tising or sponsor the advertising themselves. The publisher of The Star has been carry- ing a tin cup with the American eagle on it for the past three War Bond drives and call- ing on Port St. Joe merchants for sponsor- ship of bond ads. We know that merchants tend to consider this a racket of the publisher rather than 'a contribution to their govern- ment, and that attitude we don't like at all. The pullis her .f The Star wants no special favors, n, cu., eulJ : or special treat- ment. Bu t'he- does ask that the govern- ment 'pay for its own advertising. White space is the stock in trade of any newspaper and the government should pay for that white space just like any other advertiser. We have. received letter after letter from various agencies, from Henry Morgenthau, and from the Western Newspaper Union (which makes the plates for the advertising, and not for nothing, we can assure you) urg- ing us to "get out early and sell a series of advertisements for the Fourth War Loan."' All such missives, together with proofs and order forms for the ads, have gone into the wastebasket after a cursory examination. It has been proven in England and Canada that government-sponsored war bond adver- tising brings better results than individually- sponsored advertising, and that the cost of such advertising, we have read, runs in the neighborhood of one-tenth of one per cent of the amount of bonds sold. If such a plan works in those countries' it will work here and take the load off the pub- lishers and a few open-hearted individuals in every community. After listening to the radio we have be- come all humfuzzled. We can't figure out how 90 per cent of the dentists can recom- mend one brand of toothpaste, 85 per cent another brand, and 95 per cent still another brand. The best thing to do for a blowout is to have your shoes half-soled.-The Lake City Reporter. Practically every politician thinks the coun- try owes him not only a living, but a fat of- fice, and he does his durndest to get it. Not wishing to hurt her boy friend's feel- ings by calling him a dim-wit, a gal we know just' accused him of limping around mentally. PULPWOOD WILL DO ITS SHARE Charles E. Wilson, executive vice-chairman of the War Production Board, made a start- ling disclosure the other day. He said the amount of material necessary to supply our invasion forces in western Europe will be so tremendous that it will dwarf the quantity of supplies shipped for the offensives in North Africa and Italy. What does this mean to the pulpwood cut- ters of the nation, to the farm woodland own- ers of Gulf county, to the Victory pulpwood committees in 1250 communities? .It means that pulpwood production must attain its peak in the first few months of 1944 if the army and navy is to provide Gen- eral Eisenhower with the supplies he needs to crack the Nazi fortresses and liberate the enslaved French, Belgians, Dutch, Czechs, Poles, and other conquered peoples. Military experts say that the success of the invasion will depend upon our ability to pour into western Europe adequate armed forces fully equipped and then to keep them fully supplied with ammunition, food, medical supplies. Only the home front can furnish those sup- plies. And pulpwood producers are a vital part of this home front. Without their aid, the work of many other war workers may go for naught. For these supplies will be transported overseas encased in paper a-nd paperboard made of pulpwood. Many of the supplies themselves, such as supply parachutes, hos- pital weddings, and even explosives, will be made of pulpwood. The nation's army of pulpwood producers will not fail the boys in the service. Pulpwood will do its part in making the invasion a victorious drive to Berlin or what's left of Berlin. SOMETHING NEW For the first time in the history of the in- -ur.in';c .business in the United States an in- surance company will attempt to insure an entire city-and that city is Port St. Joe. Never before has such a project been at- tempted aiad was instigated by the Provident Life and Accident Insurance company at the ,request of the board of directors of the new Port St. Joe municipal hospital. It behooves the citizens' of our city to take immediate action in securing these poli- cies, which are offered on the same group rates applicable to large concerns employing several hundred people, like the St. Joe Pa- per company and the St. Joe Lumber & Ex- port company, both of which carry insurance on their employes with the Provident com- pany. Under this group insurance plan more lib'- eral benefits are allowable at a lower pre- mium rate than any other type of insurance. If this "Port St. Joe plan" works out satis- factorily, which it will with, the full co-opera- tion of our citizens, it will make insurance history and pave the way for similar co-op- erative insurance in other cities. This plan needs the help of everyone in the city, and everyone in the city needs the protection offered by these policies. sj--7- I A judge fined a man $10.'10 for beating his wife. Asked what the ten ,ents was for, the judge replied: "That's thle federal tax on museinments." A politician is a chronic candidate who keeps on running in the hopes that some day he may become a statesman. The law of compensation always works if given time. The reason is it was not enacted by man. What has become of the double-breasted vest. the liver pad, the porous plaster and the mustard bath? Keep smiling-and buy War Bonds! Serious Feed Shortage Looms; Solution Rests In Farmers' Hands Purina Dealer Sponsors "Food for Victory" Crusade to Help Stretch Feed "The answer to the feed short- age", says the Purina Merchant of this city, "is a wiser use of, the feed we now have." Protein ingredients are 2 million tons short of demand, he points out. Estimated feed grain crops will not feed present poultry and livestock populations, and the government is now discouraging enlargement of flocks or herds beyond the feed ca- pacity to support them. There is also an acute transportation short- age which limits the shipping of feed long distances to deficit areas. "Our Problem" "The answer to the feed shortage rests largely in the hands of farm- ers and feeders," the Purina Dealer points out. "It is entirely possible to reach our increased food goals with the livestock and poultry now on farms, and with the feed now in sight, simply by using our feed more wisely and by plugging unnecessary production leaks". He states further that-"disease, parasites, overcrowded and unsani- tary quarters, preventable accidents, inadequate feeding and watering fa- cilities, wasteful feeding methods, low producing birds and animals-all cut down food production and waste vital feed supplies." More Food from Less Feed Cutting straight to the heart of present farm difficulties, the Purina Dealer is sponsoring a "Food for Vic- tory Crusade", purpose of which is to spread decreased feed supplies to cover increased food goals. , He is counselling with local farm- ers on improved management, more careful sanitation, and better feed- ing methods which have been ap- proved by both state and national agricultural authorities. Recommen- dations are in the form of "Action Sheets", designed to help farmers stretch their feed by turning a great- er share into marketable human food. Every hour adds new names to American casualty lists. Shortening the war by one single hour would justify, superhuman effort. Produc- ing adequate food supplies on schcd- ule will save that hour, perhaps a month, perhaps a year. Massing sock piles for invasion, sending food to our fighting allies, these will save American lives. Farmers, join the Crusade to produce MORE food for an EARLIER victory! If feeder space is lacking, there is a tendency on the part of poultry owners to fill the feeders so full that feed will be wasted. Every pound of wasted poultry mash helps the Axis. If necessary, nail a few boards to- gether to make additional feeders. _X_ RATION-FREE SHOES FOR 2-WEEK PERIOD O.PA has announced that during the two-week period from January 17 to 29, shoq dealers will be al- lowed to sell ,ration-free 15 per cent of their stocks of women's shoes-provided they are sold at $3 or less a pair. The action was taken to help dealers dispose of limited quanti- ties of wearable shoes, mostly novelty types, which have not sold ,well under rationing. It does not mean, however', that the shoe sit- ,nation js improving. If more than the $3 top price is charged for shoes, ration stamps must be collected. WAR LOAN DRIVE TO OPEN HERE TUESDAY (Continued from page 1) handle the entire bond drive for the colored quarters. The quota for -Gulf county in this Fourth War Loan Drive has been set at $105,500, as compared with the. Third War Loan Drive quota of $56,039 and, which was oversubscribed to the tune of $102,000. Of the $105,500, Port St. Joe and vicinity will be required to raise $70,333, and the Wewa- hitchka section $35,167. "This loan is one the public will be called upon to fill," said Chair- man Soule, "since' it is a non- banking loan and must come from the pockets of the people. So let's all get busy and put Gulf county over the top." NEW INSURANCE PLAN FOR CITY IS FIRST IN NATION (Continued; From Page 1) ..ffering a special inducement.

Mil- lions, of pounds of pork and feed are lost each year due to worms. Wormy pigs make slower gains ... waste feed. Use Purina-Check-R-Pigtabs to rid hogs of large roundworms and nodular worms. 3. RAISE HOGS ON CLEAN GROUND to prevent spread of disease. For first 4 months and entire feeding period, keep saw and pigs on clean pasture. If same ground is used every year, plow it in fall, and seed to pasture crop. 6. CONSERVE FEED. With short sup- plies of both grain and protein supple- ment, conserve feed by feeding a prop- erly balanced ration. Also get the most good out of pasture-for hogs on pas- tlure will eat less from the feeders. 2. TREAT FOR LICE. If pigs have lice, confine in a small pen and sprinkle with a solution of 1 pint Purina. Cre- So-Fec (or like disinfectant), 3 pinls kerosene oil, 4 pints crankcase oil in 4 gallons of water. Makes 5 gallons. 4. SELF-FEEDERS AND WATERERS should be provided for hogs at all .imes. Self-feed for more economical gains and to. save labor. Plenty of fresh water is as important as feed-for the hog carcass is 60% to 70% water. 6. MARKET EARLIER. This year stretch your feed by marketing hogs at the most economical weights-200 to 230 pounds. The gains you put on beyond these weights cost you more feed and gives Uncle Sam fewer pounds of edible pork. THE STORE WITH THE CHECKER- S BOARD SIGN ST.
