DISTINGUISHED FLYING
CROSS TO JOHN S. WALL

John S. Wail, ARM 2/c, aboard
the USS Brooklyn, recently re-
ceived the following citation from
the secretary of the navy: "Radio-
man John S. Wall received) the Dis-
tinguished Flying Cross for hero-
ism and extraordinary achieve-
ment whi!e participating in aerial
flight as gunner of a scouting
flight plane aboard a United, States
.warship during the invasion of
Sicily."
The citation further stated that
despite heavy enemy anti-aircraft
fire and air opposition, Wall par-
ticipated in numerous spotting and
reconnaissance missions that car-
ried him deep into hazardous hos-
tile territory throughout this pe,
riod of intense aerial activity. His
"courageous and efficient devotion
to duty contributed immeasurably
to the: success of our air opera-
tions in this vital area."
Wall is a nephew of Mr. and
Mrs. W. 0. Anderson of Port St.
Joe and is we'l known here. At
one time he was employed by the
St. Joe Motor company.

Pig Losses

Waste Much

Precious Feed

"Food for Victory Crusade"
Aimed at Producing More
by Wasting Less
Each pig farrowed dead represents
the loss of 140 lbs. of feed. Each pig
dying at weaning time costs 260 lbs.
of feed. When death occurs 8 weeks
after weaning a loss of 360 lbs. of
feed is incurred. If the hog dies of
cholera, for instance, just before it is
ready for slaughter nearly half a
ton of feed is wasted.
Save the 35 Percent
These facts, recently released by
John H. Zeller, swine specialist of
the Bureau of Animal Industry,
point to the pressing necessity dur-
ing the present food and feed short-
age of immediate and drastic action
directed toward cutting down pig
mortality.
Mr. Zeller's figures indicate that
more than 3% pigs out of every ten
farrowed die before weaning time,
and that 14.3% of the total hog feed
used is consumed by pigs that fail
to reach market.
"Food for Victory Crusade"
Definite action to solve this prob-
lem locally is now being' taken by
the Purina Merchant. He is sponsor-
ing a "Food for Victory Crusade",
aimed at conserving feed by remov-
ing many of the principal causes of
pig mortality.
He is counselling with local hog
raisers on their feeding, sanitation
and management methods. Basis of
his recommendations, where need for
improvement is indicated, is a series
of swine management practices
which have the-approval of both na-
tional and state agricultural author-
ities. No charge is made for his
service. -

and' national parks! as a major
post-war project.
Basil E. Kenney, well known
lumber operator of this. city, heads
the board and, is keenly interested
in the subject of parks in Florida.
The board last week made an
inspection trip of state parks in
Northwest Florida which embrace,
some interesting and! scenic terri-
tory, especially the Torryea State
Park near Bristol and, the Cavern
State Park at lAiarianna.
With the coming of peace count-
less thousands will journey to
Florida for rest and. recreation,
andi state parks, wherever estab-
lished, have proved outstanding at-
tractions for tourists and visitors,
not only during winter months
but the year 'round.
The park board, under Kenney's
leadership, is giving full consider-
ation to the development of all
state parks as soon as wartime
restrictions permit.
Port St. Joe has the smal'.est
state park. Constitution Park, on
the site where Florida's first or-
ganic law was, drawn up. This is
probably the state's most historic
park, for here is "where the state
began." ..... ;

Our Country Right or Wrong

GLOBAL AIR TRANSPORT AND ST. JOE
The United States has always been a na-
tion of movement transportation. In the
Revolutionary War and the War of 1812,
American sailing ships made historic records.
Later came our development of the clipper
sailing ships, the steamship, and the steam
locomotives and the railroad train, with old
St. Joseph having the second railroad in the
nation. Then came the automobile.
The first World War saw the practical ap-
plication of the next great means of trans-
portation--aviation. Its progress has outdone
a tale by Horatio Alger.
When this war broke out, three factors
were predominant-production, transportation
and speed. Failure of either meant failure for
all. Our airplanes stepped in with speed be-
fore undreamed, of. They, spanned continents
and oceans in hours, carrying men and ma-
teriel of war.
Each war, from the day of the Revolution,
has promoted transportation and speed. Af-
ter the present war the story can be told of
the advancements in our air arm of transpor-
tion which will help America hold her right-
ful place in global air transport.
American air lines are already planning to
invest hundreds of millions of dollars in the
newest type of equipment for service at home
and abroad, and are already choosing sites
for airports, particularly along the Gulf coast
which is the closest takeoff point for South
America, wlich will be one of the largest
post-war customers of the United States.
Port St. Joe is ideally situated for one of
these hopping-off points for South America.
Not only is it one of the closest points to our
neighbor to the south, but it is strategically
situated for rapid and cheap transportation of
goods, both by rail and water.
Are we going to get in on thi global air
traffic, or are we going to be left in the prop-
wash of a rapidly-moving post-war world?

NIGHTMARES PERMITTED
Mother Goose would never recognize the
modern counterpart of her legendary baker.
,War and rationing have made the art of
breadmaking a complicated procedure bristl-
ing with official directives and penalties.
These are a few of the current baking
dicta: "No longer can a baker insert coupons
redeemable for theater tickets or premiums
inside the wrapper. He is not allowed to give
away bread as prizes in radio programs or to
successful bidders for War Bonds. A
baker is not permitted to accept return of
moldy products. He may pan more than
one piece of dough to a loaf if the pieces are
not twisted together or placed in the pan at
right angles to the length of the pan."
Another restriction limits the number of
varieties of machine-molded bread to six for
wholesale bakers. Two loaves of bread made
from the same formula and the same type,
weight and shape, but sliced to different
thickness, are considered as two varieties.
The bakers, like other merchandisers who
handle the things we eat and wear. are try-
ing to live through an orgy of regulation
without complete disruption of the distribu-


tion system. So far, no attempt has been
made to ration nightmares.

A SECOND BILL OF RIGHTS
(Guest Editorial)
In the president's message to congress re-
cently, he declared a "Second Bill of Rights."
In this "Bill of Rights" he classed "the right
to a good education."
Let us, so to say, boil the facts down and
see the kind of education our boys and girls
are getting in Florida.
To have "good education" we must first
have good teachers, then good equipment.
This equipment means our buildings and the
materials we have to work with.
I wonder how many of you know just how
much state-aid your school receives? As some
of you probably know, state-aid in Florida is
based on the number of teacher units in the
county. Such units are determined by the
number of pupils in average daily attendance.
Then if the average daily attendance of out
school 'drops, the amount of money we re-
ceive for each teacher unit decreases. Today
the state of Florida has a teacher unit of $800
per year. If a teacher receives more than
this $800 per year, the money comes from
taxes levied within the county. Some of the
larger counties, with more taxable property,
can afford to increase teachers' salaries, but
a small county like Gulf is just out of luck.
So long as an attractive salary is not of-
fered the state can't expect to get the bet-
ter teachers. There are too many jobs else-
where for them to sacrifice their time in the
classroom. I ask you, then, how are our boys
and girls going to get "a good education"
without the better teachers ? Yet many of
our best teachers are sticking with their work
because they love it, not because of the
salary.
Mothers and fathers, the situation is in
your hands. You will be the determining fac-
tors in their getting a good education.
Then there are the buildings. How many
of you have taken time to visit your school
and see the conditions under which your chil-
dren and teachers work?. It is true that a
child spends an average of six hours per day
in the schoolroom. Do you know his living
conditions? I dare say the majority of you
don't. Unless a child has pleasant surround-
ings you can't expect him to do his best. Yet
you have two buildings in your own town
that, under a strict inspection, probably
would be condemned.
Can we afford to build a new building?
The answer- is no-under existing circum-
stances. But-it could be done if the parents
would get behind some of our petty poli-
ticians and demand something be done.
We speak of natural resources and their
conservation. Aren't our boys and girls our
greatest natural resources? What are we do-
ing to conserve them? You answer the
question. If you feel that you have done the
best you can, then ignore this-but please,
mothers and fathers, awake to the problem
facing you and our future generations. Do
something about it. Instead of voting money
to, take care of the future generation after
the war, do something about giving them "a
good education" and preventing future wars.
The question I leave with you is: Will my
child be included in the "Second Bill of
Rights" by having "a good education"?

Hitler, the master gangster, has reached
the point where he would make any kind of
a bargain with America and England in or-
der to defeat Russia, we gathered from his
radio speech the other day.

The war costs $240,000,000 per day-about
$174,000 per minute-$2,900 per second. Have
you bought that extra $100 bond yet?

Best similie of the week: She was as at-
tractive as a bale of cotton to a moth.

Keep smiling-and buy War Bonds!

STARDUST and

MOONSHINE
By THE OTHER FELLOW

I hied myself to the hinterlands
early Wednesday morning for the
purpose of interviewing Old Man
Groundhog and to be on. hand
when he emerged' from his winter
home for the purpose of checking
on his shadow and making .his
weather predictions awaited by a,
breathless world
I carried' with me a piece of
black cardboard cut in the shape
of a groundhog. I placed this be-
side Mr. Groundhog's hole. "This
is an artificial Ishadow," I ex-
plained to Editor Bil as I set off
on my expedition. "When the
groundhog comes out he sees the
board And, thinks it is his shadow.
He runs back and-"
"And we shall have six weeks
more of winter weather!" ex-
claimed the editor.
"Not a bit," I replied. "It is be-
cause the.,groundhog makes a mis-
take and looks at my substitute
that he misses seeing -his shadow.
I'm going to patent the scheme for
ensuring good' weather."
The' plan worked perfectly ex-
cept for one thing. I arrived a
bit late at the d6micile of Br'er
Groundhog. I was placing my pat-
ent shadow in position when he
poked his head out of the ground.
"Um!" he, said. "Endeavoring to
put *somethnig over, are you?
Well, for a plugged nickel I'd go
right back in and give up this job
of prog-, prog-, prog---"
"What's a prog?" I inquired.
"It's a prognostication, only I
can't say the word," he Treplied.
"You just did'!"
"And you are aWguing." retorted
the marmot, "and I don't like
people who argue."
Obviously there was nothing to
be .gained, and so, with one eye
on an approaching cloud, I decided
upon a more tactful course.
"Let's cal it 'predicting'," I
said, "and; let it go at that."
"Let what go where and at
what?" was the' reply. "It seems
to me you are determined to ruin
my day."
"Now listen," and Mr.. Ground-
hog seatedi himself comfortably on
the edge' of the hole, crossed his
legs and pulled a big black stogie
from his vest pocket, "suppose
you had' an Important piece of
weather forecasting to do and half
of the world was waiting for you.
What would you think of a nosey
individual who came around to in-


terrupt?" and' he scratched a
match on the seat of his pants
and lit up his cigar.
"Melaning?" I queried.
"Exactly!" and he blew a smoke
ring at an inquisitive cricket.
"Well' just one more question,
and then I'll leave you to your
prognostications. How do you
do it?"
"It's all a mater of calculus,"
the little fellow replied. "One has
to reckon the angles, observe the
sun, bring in a piece of relativity
thie size of a pea and stir well
over a slow fire."
I politely tipped my hat and de-
parted with the 'belief that the
groundhog is incompetent and de-
luded and is probably having a
lot of fun at our expense. Who,
for instance, started this, story
about his seeing his shadow? Who
asks us to believe it? Surely not
the groundhog. If we are willing
to use him for a weather prophet,
can you blame him for making the
most of his opportunity?

CAMP BLENDING TO
CLOSE FEBRUARY 19

A single reception center for in-
ductees in the seven southeastern
states-Floridla, Alabama, Georgia,
Mississippi, North and South Car-
olina and. Tennessee will ,be
opened at Fort McPherson near
Atlanta, about Februanyi 19, fol-
lowing the' closing of reception
centers in each of the states, ac-
cording to a release this week. A
similar center for negroes will be
established at Fort Benning, Ga.
It was stated that the, decrease
in the number of inductees, en-
listees and reservists being pro-
cessed through reception centers
was a factor in the decision to
close the reception centers,
A new plan will also lbe put into
effect tor the induction of men
into the armed forces. In the past
the inductee was sworn in at the
Inductioif station and allowed a 21-
day furlough.
Future selectees, after examina-
tion, will be assigned to the' army
and returlned home, awaiting a sec-
ond call from their draft boards
as private citizens. When the lo-
cal board receives a call for a
given number of men, It will order
already examined men for induc-
tion and provide transportation to
the reception center, where the In-i,
ductees will be processed and as-
signed to their first duty.

The Star is like a better frem
home to your man In the service.
Send it to him before he goe" ott-
side the U. S., otherwise he will
have to make a request for it.
