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.

New Insurance

Plan for City is

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

TO ADVERTISERS-In case of error or omissions in adver-
tisements, the publishers do not hold themselves liable for
damages further than amount received for such advertisement.
The spoken word is given scant attention; the printed word
is thoughtfully weighed. The spoken word barely asserts;
the printed word thoroughly convinces. 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.

another brand, and 95 per cent still another
brand.

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.

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.

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-

HOW TO Sawe HO FEED


1. WORM PIGS AT 10 WEEKS. 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.
