Over 1/4 of all pulpwood
is used in packaging
farm products

T HE FARMERS of this country responded patrioti-
! cally to the appeal for more pulpwood. They cut
wood because their country needed it. Few of them
stopped to think that their own business of food pro-
duction was threatened by the pulpwood shortage.
Already there have been cases where packing
plants were unable to accept perishables because
they could not get packing materials; and the distri-
bution of food may be seriously upset this year un-
less the pulpwood shortage can be overcome.
So the farmer who cuts pulpwood is not only
helping his country meet a serious wartime short-
age; he is also adding to his income, improving his
draft deferment statusrand helping to provide for
the packaging and distribution of his own farm
products. Cut your pulpwood nowl

Ow Country S Right or Wrong

THE PEOPLE ARE SATISFIED
The fact that present incumbents in the
offices of sheriff, tax assessor, tax collector,
county judge, school superintendent and clerk
of the circuit court of Gulf county are un-
opposed for re-election seems to point to the
fact that, while Gulf, county takes a keen in-
terest in its politics, and even keener inter-
est in the conduct of its public offices, there
is genuine appreciation for satisfactory serv-
ices rendered by county officials.
It is our theory that this lack of opposition
, comes through a county-wide knowledge that
those officials are doing an excellent job,
striving to render the service expected of
them.. And this condition, we believe, is-r.,-
sponsible for the fine condition in which the
county finds itself. As long as the men in of-
fice are capable, conscientious and conduct
themselves as employes of the people, it adds
to the efficient operation of the county'-,
business to keep them there. Every change
in office brings about its measure of ineffi-
ciency and that inevitable period of training
a new man and his staff in the conduct of-
the affairs of. the office.
County offices are places of responsibility,'
They are duties that demand certain qualifi-
cations for their efficient handling. They are
definitely not posts- of honor nor sources of
pensions nor payrolls for charity. For a man
to be justified in asking the people to give
him one of them h.e:nust have more to offer
than just the fact that' he giants a job and
someone has had it long-enough.
So it would seem that as long as the peo-
ple of this, county have public officials who
are qualified for their jobs, they are not par-
ticularly interested in making changes.


As.long as the board of"county commis-
sioners are spending $2,365.85 of county cash
to pave the streets around the county court
house, within the city limits of the city of
Wewahitchka, it seems reasonable that they
could spend a little of the people's money in:
paving streets in the city of Port St. Joe. We
suggest that they pave Williams Avenue, in
front of Tlie Star building. The city of Port
St. Joe has been promising to do a bit of pav-
ing on this street ever since The Star build-
ing was erected six and a half years ago, but
so far nothing has been done. Of course, with
county redistricting in the offing, this was
the last chance to put over something like'
this paving without too mtich opposition. The
people of this end of the county don't think,
much of that court house street paving job;'
and apparently the Port St. Joe commissioner
on hte board didn't think so much of it either,
as he voted against the proposition.

We noticed an ad in the Atlanta Journal,
the other day describing a dress with "a cer-
tain knee-hinting effect." We've seen some,
right here in Port St..Joe that are quite out-
spoken.

Remember 'way back in the good old days
when the government could do a heap with a
million dollars ? Nowv nothing less than a bil-
lion is ever mentioned.


ARMY BUG KILLER
Complete freedom for Florida's great cit-
rus and vegetable industry in the postwar
years from the insect pests against which
they must keep night and day vigil now may
be contained in a little glass jar that sits on
the desk of Lt. Col. John Quincy Adams Dan-
iels, sanitary officer of the army air forces
tactical center in Orlando.
That white powder is a super-secret. Its
name can't be mentioned. But one of its ex-
ploits is now 'known to everyone. It's the
weapon the U. S. Army used to knock out the
typhus epidemic in war-ruined Italy.
Typhus is carried by an insect. That insect
is the little fellow that the doughboys of the
other war referred to as a cootie. He is more
generally known as a body louse, because his
favorite habitation is a warm spot on the
human body. U. S. Army doctors in Italy
sprinkled the Italians in occupied areas with
their super-secret white powder and the lice
disappeared. So did the typhus epidemic.
It is known that this powder's potency Is
not only effective against lice, but it Is a
deadly enemy of almost every other insect.
Just now the army has a monopoly on its
use, and its secret is closely guarded, because
insects are the enemies of every army, and
the U. S. can use them for allies as well as
extreminating them as enemies.
But when the war against the Japs and the
Nazis is won, the war of Florida growers
against their insect enemies will still go on.
When the air force's job of training airmer,
to destroy the human enemies of the U. b.
is done, it may leave a weapon that will for-
ever eradicate .the insect enemies of the
Florida farmer.-Orlando Sentinel.

AUTOMOBILES DECREASING
Automobile accidents on the highways, as
well as the ordinary wear, are gradually de-
pleting the motor car power of the nation.
The attrition is scarcely apparent to the i
casual observer, but it is steady and increas-
ing. More than 4000 of the 30,000,000 cars in
the United States are junked every day. Ap-
proximately 1,500,000 a year are retired from
service.
At that rate the last car would be a mu-
seum piece 20 years hence, but the average
life of an automobile is not more than ten
years. Many are outworn or wrecked in less
time: 'As the average age of cars in operation'
.increases, the retirement rate will be acceler-
ated, but only 100,000 of the new cars avail-
able 'when production was discontinued in
February, 1942, remain in dealers' hands for
distribution for most essential use.
The backlog of used cars, many of which
are in eastern states where gasoline has been
rationed severely, decreases rapidly. It is
obvious that production of a limited number
of passenger cars and trucks must be author-
ized soon by the government to prevent a
serious breakdown of transportation facili-
ties.-Savannah News.

G. I. REVENGE
A sailor stationed on a far-flung U. S. out-
post was noted for his loyalty to his fiancee.
Then one day he received a callous letter tell-
ing him that she was going to marry a 4-F,
and would he please return her picture.
He was so upset by this treachery that his
buddies rallied to avenge their pal. A collec-
tion of photographs, snapshots and pin-up
girls was made from every fellow on the base.
They were packed into a huge crate and sent
to the fickle wench.
Upon opening the crate, she found a note
reading: "Please pick out your picture and
return the rest to me. This is a little embar-
rassing but I don't remember which one is
yours."-Reader"s Digest.

By THE OTHER FELLOW


All these political ads are sorta
crowding out The Other Fellow,
but I've hopes that Editor Bill will
see the light and, give us space
every week, since my fans or
should I say "fan"? ?-are urging
that this column appear in every
issue. Editor Bill tries to play up
to you fellows,; in the service, so,
like Paul K. Jbhlnson and several
other boys who have written in
bemoaning the lack of The, Other
Fellow column, tell him how well
you like it for, after all, I deal in
those little .items. that are not
clas-sified as news and, yet have a
news value-ne,bbe on the scan-
dalous. side-that all of us like to
hear about.
,Fr' instance, like Glenn Boyles
down there at Costin's dry goods
store. Glenn has the job of dress-
ing up the windows, ,but he has
to put things like, new dresses and
suits in the windows at night
now. If he tries it in the daytime
somebody will grab 'erm off his
arm before he can get them on his
window models. He never gets to
look at his stuff-he doesn't know
what the styles are, he says-
never sees them on his window fig-
ures. Maybe, you been wondering
why you see so many September
Morns in the windows of Costin z.
Now you know why.
J. R. Chestnut is all settled in
hris new grocery and market down
there on the corner of Reid Ave-
nue and, First Street and is sure
passing out the baloney and. bull.
Horace Sou:e got in about a
carload, of paint "the, other day-
enough to paint the town red, but
it happened, to be mostly white.
paint. And speaking of Thb
Top Hat, which we weren't, Doris
Stewart sure passes out a mean
cup of coffee in that eatery. .
Jimmy Holt is gwine break his
neck some day pirutin' around
standing up on the seat of his mo-
torcycle. .... Wonder what has
happened, to Alex Young and hi,
motor bike-? Never see him sailing
around on it any more. .... Mr.
and Mrs. Robert Tapper sure were
i'ckled, spitless when George was

The Low Down
from

Editor The Star:
(I been looking' around all the
stores in Port .St. Joe for a new
Aesop. They don't have 'em. Don't
have much call for 'em any morse,
they say. In fact, John Robert
Smith didn't know what I wab
talking' about when I asked him i-
lie had a copy of Aesop's Fable,,.
The call is for throat-cuttin' ana
shooting' books,-also .books witn
titles like. "The Other Guy's Wife".
or "How She Fooled Her Thira-
Husband'," or me'bbe something' on
economics, like "To Have More,
Spend) More," by the noted, young
Doctor Gabb. Hundreds of these,
but no Aesop. Anybody who has
been sorta confused and, wondering'
why we have been such a jumpy
and sucker kind, of nation can find
out easy as pie at the book stores.
I ain't got nuthin' agin reading ,
or some fun and diversion, like it
is when you're a sucker at the car-
nival, where sometimes it costs
you 2 or 3 bucks for a two-bit
Kewpie doll. But be in' a sucker
like where we mebbe listen when
somebody says we can pay off the
war debt with talk and palavar,
arid magic vs. via taxes, shows
what the shortage of Aesops
Fables is doin' to the country.
Some hungry and' tired lunch
c'.ub, like meibtbe the Kiwanis, that
has run out of things to do, can
take on the job of getting' Aesop
back into print. Brethern and Sis-
tern, that would be a good turn.
