Bag limits are the same as last

Indications are that game nl
Gulf county will be more plentiful
this season than in many years,
due to the fact that so many
hunters are now in service and the
scarcity of ammunition last year.
Hunting licenses are expected to
be on sale within the next few
days, and sportsmen who are sur-
ficiently lucky to have or can ob-
tain ammunition' should have a
whale of a good time.

CAN'T ADVANCE DATE

The effort of the state board of
conservation to advance the date
of the oyster season from October
1 to September 1 is not legal, ac-
cord.ing to an opinion last week i
by the state attorney general, who
said that "the state board of con-
servation lacks authority for such i
action." c
He pointed out that the first day u
of October is definitely set by the ]
legislature and can't be changed.

Our Country Right or Wrong

THE WAR IS NOT OVER
That the war is not yet over is a warning
that has been given the American people by
General Dwight D. Eisenhower and others in
high ranking military positions.
There are many sound reasons for the army
and navy taking this *position. In the first
place, it is factual. The casualties announced
after Saipan and the Normandy invasion bear
tragic evidence that such is the case.
But there are other factors involved which
are vital to the future peace of the world. Re-
liable information shows that the strategy
of Germany at the present time is to win a
negotiated peace so as to prepare for another
try at world conquest. German diplomatic
and military leaders know that they cannot
win the war on the military front, but they
also know that the German armies are- still
powerful and, while those armies of the Nazis
retain their power, Germany would like to
have a negotiated peace, for Germany would
have c''n-idcra:ble bargaining power at the
.pe'ace:'oinferenc>:, but if the German armies

Editor The Star:
As a nation, you know, we're

I'm not to much upset about it,
because tomorrow we'll ibe over-
doin' something else vs. whatever
It is we're hipped on today. Today
it's "Security." There ain't nothing

are thoroughly defeated on the field of battle,
if troops of the United Nations occupy Gei-!
man soil and parade through German cities,i
so that the German populace can see for:
themselves that their Wehrmacht has been
defeated, nay more, destroyed, then German
diplomats, army officers, industrialists and
junkers will be compelled to accept uncondi-
tional surrender, and the chances of Ger-
many's starting another world war in the
next twenty'years will have -been consider-
ably reduced and perhaps made impossible.
No, the war is not yet over and, as the
popular song of World War I put it: "It won't
be over 'till it's over over there." The hardet-
each of us works on the war effort, the
sooner the war may be over. We all know
that the men over there will do their part. It
remains for us over here not to let them down
for one minute, or one fraction of a minute,
and the American people will not.

Probably most of the taxpayers in Port St.
Joe did not know it, but the Gulf county
school board held a public meeting at the
courthouse in Wewahitchka Tuesday morn-
ing for the purpose of discussing a proposed
increase of more than 5 per cent in the 1944-
45 school budget. Likewise, the board ot
county commissioners held a similar meeting b
on' August 23 to increase expenditures, for il
operation of the county government for the
1944-45 fiscal year. The editor of The Star
believes that notices of such important mat-
ters should be published in both papers of the tc
county in order that all interested persons
may see them. Very few people in Port St.
Joe take the "official" county paper and con-
sequently did not know of these two meetings.

many think. Para is, however, synonymous

for Gulf county.
Frank Hannon is a busy man
these days, what with a daughter
in the family, getting that new
home organized and operating an
expanding insurance business.
Brother Billy Daniel returned'
last week from Orlando and other
points south, where he spent a
month's vacation. He looks mighty
chipper in spite of the fact that
he tells us he should have, taken
J. R. Norton along to minister to
such ailments as: are often cause
by overeating.
Alex Young blew into town this
week after two week's of vacation-
ing in New Orleans, Atlanta and
Chattanooga. He came 'back with-
out his Ford, but was driving a
handsome Buick instead. Maybe
he and, Brother Billy could' give
guys like Wake Wakefield, Jimmy
Williams andi Harry McKnight
some pointers on spending vaca-
tions away from home, since we
understand the only rewards the
latter trio got for staying were
two painful cases of joint-itis and
a broiled back, respectively.
speaking of vacations, Brothel
0. D. Langston is still enjoying his
and we have no doubt that he is
hanging around the, places where
the fish are biting best.
Last week's, program was de-
voted to open forum discussions
and two important projects were
proposed'. Committees w-ere named
to study them and draw up' tenta-
tive plans to be decided upon at
an early date.

ORCHIDS
In passing out orchids last week
to those helpful individuals who
brought us in news items we in-
adivertently omitted the names of
Mr. and Mrs. W. B. Ferrell ana
Miss Lillian Ferrell. This week we
give bouquets to -Mrs. J. T. Mc-
Neill, Miss Myrtice Coody, Mrs.
