The spoken word is lost; the printed word remains. Our Country Right or Wrong, WHY WE SAVE NO SCRAP MATERIAL The editor of The Star receives a constant barrage of posters, window cards, stories and edicts on salvage-paper, fats, scrap iron, etc. -from governmental agencies and from the Florida Defense Council, all of which we are urged to publish or pass out to merchants and 'the public. When the variiops salvage programs got under way we worked like a beaver putting the material in type and handing out the posters and window cards. We saved news- papers and scrap paper from our paper cut- ting; we even saved the worn out rubber crutch tips from our crutches; and our wife began saving waste fats. We scraped up all the old iron, steel brass, and aluminum we could find and tossed it onto the community scrap heap. And 'most everybody else in the city followed suit. Pretty soon we had about a ton of waste paper in the back of our print shop and our wife had a couple of gallon cans full of waste fat. We tried to get somebody to take the paper away; our wife took the cans of fat to the meat market-but nobody was inter- ested. The butchers told us that they. had no way of disposing of the fats, and we also discovered that no provision could be made to have the waste paper picked up. And every- one else who had worked assiduously to save scrap metal, paper and waste fats discovered the same fact. Otto Anderson, whpo had'a pile of old automobile bodies beside his garage was told to turn them in to the scrap drive or else. He contacted every available source to have them taken up-and he's still got 'em. We put our waste paper and fats out in the alley and let the garbage truck haul them off, as did everyone else. And still we're urged to, save all scrap material and fats. The people of Port St. Joe tried to comply with all these requests, but it soon became apparent that their efforts were wasted. Now no one is saving these waste materials. And we can't blame them. The editor of The Star about six months NEW FISH AND GAME RULES ANNOUNCED Beginning tomorrow the follow- Ing new game and fresh water fish rules become effective: The number of fish taken front any boat will be limited' to the string allowed, to two persons. In other words, the' usual string of bream, stumnpknockers and. shell .crackers caught hereabouts will be limited to 50 for a boat containing two or more persons. Deer hunting will be banned for the summer. A 12-month closed season on al- ligator hunting in 18 counties. This does not include Gulf county. The alligator closed season will run as usual here-March, April and May. However, no alligators less than four feet long may be killed, or captured during the open season. SFuture closed seasons on the SDead -Lakes in Gulf. and., Calhou, pounties.will also include the ovew- flow lands of the lake region. ago contacted the state defense council in re- | gard to having this material collected and re- I ceived a two-page telegram to the effect that arrangements for collection would be made' immediately. As we say, that was six months ago-and nothing has been done yet. We know that this material is badly needect and undoubtedly there are thousands of small communities in the nation in the same fix as we are. If something could be done about making collections from all these small com- munities, thousands of tons of scrap paper and metal would be added to the nation's stock pile, as well as thousands of pounds of waste fats. -Wt^ TOJO YOU'RE A CARD! Americans have need for a laugh in these grim days. Recently war-harried Toklo un- wittingly went out of its way to provide the necessary titillation. With U. S. might forging an ever shorten- ing ring of steel around their Nip's embattled empire, with the enemy's proud fleet now in hiding, and with defeat literally staring them in the face, diminutive leaders of this upstart nation took time out to issue-of all things- the imperial government's peace terms for a "Jap-conquered" America. Here they are (get ready to laugh) : (1) , Transfer of the entire United States navy and all large merchant ships to Japanese registry. (2) The entire naval air force to be put at the disposal of the Japanese. (3) All naval air bases and air installations to be destroyed except those needed by Japan. (4) Steel and oil production to be permitted on a reduced scale only. (5) All expenses of taking over American ships by Japan to be paid by the United States. (6) All naval installations, stations, dockyards, arsenals, colleges and other centers of naval education to be de- stroyed. (7) In case of scuttling of a single ship, ten times its value to be paid to the Jap goverhfmient. (8) Private banking to be elimi- nated; monopolies, trusts, cartels and capital- ist methods in agriculture "to be liquidated. (9) All stock markets to be abrogated- (10), All trade unions to be abolished-and, oh yes!: -peace terms to be dictated in the White House! Seriously, though, things -must be in a bad way in Japan when the leaders (who know the devastating facts) have to feed their dumb citizenry tripe like that.-Miami Post. CAR STAMP DEADLINE Just a reminder to Port St. Joe motorists that tomorrow is the deadline for obtaining the federal use stamp for your car.
