JOE, GULF COUNTY, FLORIDA FRIDAY, MARCH 17, 1944 Changes Made In Sugar Rationing Shop Stamp 18 Expires on April 30; New Stamp Will Be Designated Because of the increased, use of sugar as a war material, several changes in the sugar rationing program has been announced by the Office of Price Administration. At the same time, OPA said that sugar stamp No. 30 in Ration Book 4 will be valid indefinitely and will not expire March 31 as previously announced. Sugar stamp No. 31 will be valid April 1 for 5 pounds of sugar, and no expiration date has been announced, for it. OPA said it could. not announce definitely its program for ration- ing sugar for home canning at this time, but it is not expected that all allocations of sugar by the War Food. Administration will nece.sst- tate a reduction from last year's allowance for canning sugar. Another ration stamp, yet to be designated, will be made valid toi buying one pair of shoes on May 1. OPA 'has announn.cod coinc_- dentally that shoe stamp No. 18 in Ration. Book 1 will ,be termi- nated' on April 30. The current shoe coupon, "Atr- plane" stamp No. 1 in Ration Book 3, will continue to be good indefi- nitely.

'ROOM FOR RENT' AD GETS QUICK RESULTS Bill Boyles, down at Costin's Department Store, was feeling de- spondent. He had a swell house rented, but unless he could rent out a room he would have to give it up, due to the high rental. He had a bright idea, and put a "Room for Rent" ad in The Sitar. Shortly after the paper cans out he telephoned frantically not to run the small 25-cent ad again. He'd rented the room and, had a dozen or more would-lbe renters on his trail all day.

Hitler's grandiose scheme for world conquest had, as one of its objectives, the capture of Suez, water gateway to the fabulous ports of the East. The banks of the Don and the Dneiper have been bloody battlefields because these rivers carry supplies to the army that controls them, even as they once brought food and ores and manufactured articles to a people at peace. Stalingrad and Kiev are important Russian cities because they are ports for river traffic, as St. Louis and New Orleans are important, cities in this county. Boston and New York, and Seattle and San Francisco also became important because of their fine harbors. The huge mill of the St. Joe Paper company was built in Port St. Joe because we have one of the finest natural harbors on the Gulf coast which affords cheap transportation. But now the picture is changing as a new -means of transportation surges boldly to the fore. In the dawning Age of Flight, business centers will bloom bout airports J-stt as surely as they once sprang up around the quay sides. Nature provided harbors for ships, but "harbors" for airplanes can be built by man. Conservative authorities have estimated that the airports of this nation will have to handle three or four times the present amount of air traffic immediately after the war, and a huge amount of this traffic will be with our South American neighbors. Port St. Joe is ideally situated as a ,.-.1.1 'ing off point for a goodly share of this traffic, but it won't come this way unless we are prepared for it with mod- ern airport facilities. Not only will airports become essential to a community's business life, but they will help provide jobs for many men now in the Air Forces who will return after the war with a desire to continue in the calling they know best. Airport planning is not something that canl be done overnight. It requires months, some- times years of study, not only in determining the best possible location for a flying field, but in acquiring the land, arranging financ- ing, improving roads, expanding public util- ity services, and myriad other details. Progressive communities near Port St. Joe are preparing now to receive the miracle of air commerce which will begin to spread over the world when the war ends. It will keep them humping to be ready for that day. But will we of Port St. Joe be ready? Well, we finally got our income tax blank filled out at the last minute, and when the job was completed we almost wished we were one of these dollar-a-year men. Looking. at The Star's wastebasket we can see one reason why there is a scarcity of pa- per Too many government bureaus are ruin- ing tohs of it by running it through mimeo- graph machines and getting ink on it. Invitation to buy War Bonds and reason why you should do so: Help yourself. SOLDIERS AND POSTWAR JOBS One of the many questions which have been discussed on a nationwide scale and which are still being debated is whether the soldiers in the camps in the United States and those on the battle fronts, no less than the civilians here at home, really know what the objectives of this war are all about. In a general sense, no doubt, the average soldier and civilian would say that we are fighting to exterminate the tyranny of fas- cism-a tyranny that attempts to enslave the mind as well as the body. But when the shoot- ing stops, another kind of war will begin-a war to conquer poverty and .ignorance, and to aid removal of the nightmare of unemploy- ment. The problem is not a hopeless one by any means, for economsits, while they formerly emphasized the distribution of wealth, are now emphasizing the production of wealth. This is an important and significant change, because an equitable division and distribution of wealth is much easier from abundance than from scarcity. There will bie a large number of articles for which there will be a big de- mand in the postwar world, articles Whose production has been halted by the war. The resumption of the manufacture of these articles will provide employment for many, but not for all who are capable and eager to work at get-ahead wages instead of merely subsistence wages. The soldiers ought to be accorded first chance at remunerative work. If there are not jobs enough to go around for both returning solders and civil- ians, a serious problem will arise calling for the best brains of private citizens of all groups and their government. Because it would blight the hopes of re- turning soldiers were they to find after this war conditions like the soldiers of World War I had to face, everyone should do their utmost to assist these men returning from overseas. Walking the streets seeking jobs that do not exisfis not the experience that is going to make the returning soldier feel his sacrifices overseas, were appreciated by the folks back home. The country needs, first of all, jobs for the returning soldiers able to work and desiring a job; secondly, a job for each civil- ian who is able to work and desires a job. The accomplishment of this task, the suc- cessful meeting of this challenge, will prove to the world the virility, ingenuity and hu- manitarianism of the American people, both individually and as a nation. PULPWOOD VITAL TO RED CROSS Unless there is a continual flow of pulp- wood into the mills, the American Red Cross will be severely handicapped in its far-flung missions of mercy among Allied service men overseas. The Red Cross drive this month and the Victory pulpwood campaign have a similar objective: To help American fighting men wherever they may be. Pulpwood does" its part by protecting their equipment, medical supplies and food in transit to the battlefront. More.than 2500 medical items are packed- in paper. Pulpwood makes the surgical dress- ings and supplies the blood plasma containers which Red Cross field men use in saving the lives and easing the pain of the wounded. Every box of food, candy and tobacco that goes to American prisoners of war in enemy territory is packed in paper-board made of pulpwood., And so is the welcome Christmas '.pa,:1::,g. which went to our fighting men by the thousands last year. Many of us cannot give the service men the personal attention that they get from the Red Cross. Our job is on the home front. But we can make their tasks easier, their lot more comfortable. We may indirectly save their lives. Pulpwood is our medium. Contribute generously to the Red Cross and cut pulpwood for American fighting men everywhere.

All of them are all set to do big things for Gulf county, even if they are only announcing for dog catcher, and some of 'em are even set to save, the world if they're elected. . They, all claim they're go- ing into politics for the public good and not for their own :bene- fit, which reminds me of the fel- l w who was driving into town one day and met a neighbor. The neighbor said, "Bill, where are you going?' "Oh," said Bill. "I'm go- ing into town to get drunk and how I do dread it!" I was told the other day that Frank Hannon has, a lot .of per- sonality. Perhaps so. Per- sonality is a valuable asset. It en- ables, a guy to get by on banana oil instead of hvaing to use elbow grease. Gus Crieech and Dan Brooks are having a heck of a time getting workers at their laundry. I didn'- realize what they were up agaifist until yesterday when I tried, to put on one of my shirts that had gon through their plant. ApparenIty the shirt had been loaded with about two pounds of starch by au inexperienced laundry worker. I soaked it overnight in soapy water and beat it 15 minutes, this mnois ing with a rolling pin. Actually, it I'd put that shirt on, the first timl I sat down the tail would havu busted spang in two. I went into The Top Hat Cate yesterday and ordered a bowl o0 oyster soup. Manager Bein Rivers came over to my table and said, "Sorry, but I had to eliminate the oyster soup from the menu today.

I volunteered to get hin- anotiher oyster, but he said he hau "connections" and' wouldn't have any trou.ble. i was in Cooper's barber shop yesterday just gassing, when one of the customers ialy remarked, "Tomorrow will be another day."

Leonora straightened the objects on her desk with great care. She had put her desk at the end of her room facing the door so that when her mother came in she would have to cross the whole room under Leo- nora's stem executive eye to get to her. From movies and pictures in the newspapers Leonora had gotten a good idea of how the desk of a busy woman of affairs should look. With an important scowl, Leonora picked up a sheet of paper. Now she was two people herself, the busy woman, and her own stenographer. "Miss Simpkins, take a letter to the Secretary of the Treasury, will you?" she murmured under her breath. "Yes, j ,=i, immediately," ./ she murmured 1 y back at herself. Leon or a cleared her i \ throat and -looked at the ceiling for in- S <\ spiration. Miss Simpkins bent over the sheet of paper hanging on the words about to fall. "Dear Mr. Morgenthau," "Got that?" "Yes, madam." "I am-ahem-thirteen years old and anxious to be of all possible service to the country at this time, ahem! "I earn a weekly income of from $1.37 to $2.12 by helping with the housework and by shovelling snow. I am at present in possession of one War Savings Bond and am buying stamps weekly.
