TO ADVERTISERS-In case of error or omissions in adver-
tisements, the publishers do not hold themselves liable for
damages further than amount received for such advertisement.
The spoken word is given scant attention; the printed word
is thoughtfully weighed. The spoken word barely asserts;
the printed word thoroughly convinces. 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.

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.

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. The cost
is $5, and you buy them, just like ordinary
stamps, from Postmaster 4. A. Drake.

There's one way to eliaginate any postwar
problems with Japs-eliminate all'the Japs.

JOE GOEBBELS, No. 2 Nazi loud-

He says, "Only boobs are buying
War Bonds!" .
You can't blame him. He's wor-
ried. So is Hitler. So is Tojo.
For every time you buy a War
Bond it's bad news for them. Bso
news because it pays for more planes
for our side, more hips, more
bombs, more bullets, more tanks,
more hell for Berlin and Tokyo.
And all from buying War Bonds!
The safest place a man can put his
money today. So how about it? Buy
another War Bond today!
