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.

SEA-GOING KANGAROO TOTES TRAILERS 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. - A rat will eat or destroy as much feed in- a year as it takes to produce 9 or 10 dozen eggs.

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.

IL-'""19 -Oo* % S"Copyrighted Material 7 Syndicated Content Available from Commercial News Providers" - S '4' I U GNP dun 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.
