Anti-Roosevelt

Faction Stopped

Independent Party Would Put
Electors On Ballot Pledged
To Oppose President

The recent announcement that
an anti-administration independent
party would attempt to place the
names of its presidential electors
on the Florida general election ba--
lot in, November, pledged to .vote
.for any good Democrat other than
Franklin D. Roosevelt,, brought
prompt repercussion from state
election authorities.
'Secretary of 'State R. A. Gray,
Who is in charge, of the state elec-
tion machinery, said that he had-
made no final decision but "there
is noi Way I know for an indepen-
dent party to form and' get its.
candidates on the ballot now."'
Absentee ballots' for servicemen
already have been printed with.
only Democratic and Republican,
candidates named and are being
mailed out, and Gray said "Noth-
ing but a supreme court order will
stop me from sending them to the'
state's soldiers and sailors."
The secretary of state already
has, told the Socialist and Prohibr-
tion, parties they do not qualify as
political parties under Florida law
and, therefore, they cannot geL.
their candidates on the ballot.
Leaders of the independent
party movement, who drew up a
slate of presidential electors In
Jacksonville' recently, -cotend a'
1943 law defines a minor political
party as one which, has failed to

presidential elections.

Bankers Plan

Peacetime Role

Edw ard Ball Assert s Bankia n I


Keystone to Economic
Setup of State

Ways and means of solving post-
war banking problems highlighted
a two-day conference of the fifteen
banks of the Florida National
Group held last week at Jackson-
ville and which was attended by
8. L. Barke, president of the local
bank.
Edward Ball, head of the Alfred
I. duPont interests in Florida, told
the visiting bankers that they
must be -prepared not only for
many postwar changes, %but also
must anticipate a tremendous
growth in Florida's commerce, in-'
dustry and agriculture.
"As Florida bankers we have a
primary obligation to *advance the
state's economic progress In every
possible way," ,Ball sald. "We cPan
'do this'because we have a syimpua
thetic .understanding of the .prob-
lems and needs of our industries,
commercial .enterprises and our
farmers, and a willingness to fur-
ther their interests in every pop-
sible way.
"We accept our responsibility
for .leadership and co-operation
that extends far beyond that of the
average businessman.' Banking is
the keystone of our economic struc-
ture. We will help to provide' the
kind of far-sighted, constructive as-
sistance that will hasten Florida's
development."
'A large portion of the confei-
once was devoted to a discussion
of the, policies that will guide the
,banks' of the Florida National
Droup during the transition from
war to peace.

TIRE APPLICATIONS PILE UP

(Continued from page 1)
misinterpreted the word "eligible"
and thought OPA meant "avail-
able." T.he number of applica-
tions immediately rose sharply and
is still rising. As a result, appli-
cations now far exceed passenger
tire quotas, in spite of the fact
that the passenger tire situation
has actually worsened nationally
because of increased military die-
mands.
Facts are that the local board
must continue to value each appli-
cation as to need of the tire in
terms of necessity to the war ef-
fort and in view of the reduced
,tire quota for Gulf county. Hencn,
many motorists will receive no
tires, although they are, technically
eligible, until the general tire sit-
uation shows marked improve-
m'ent.
'At present the Gulf county board
Swi'lscarcely be able to fill acute
-..jneeds. Efforts of others in flood-
ig-t he' board with applications
and personal calls will only add to
the congestion and. hamper the
board's efforts to distribute fairly
what tires are available.

GET it over with. Get back home. Get a job. That is
what our fighting men are thinking and talking about.

First-victory. Next-nail down the peace.

Then they want to throw off the rigid regimentation of
military life and not run into the same sort of regi.
mentation back home.

They want to set out for themselves, as Americans
always have ... to use their own heads and hands in
fashioning their own destiny.

A job and an opportunity-in the American system of
free enterprise. This is the post-war plan of men in
uniform.

The Government alone can't be expected to carry out
these: plans. It's up to every one of us at home to see
that they're fulfilled-eleven million times.

We will do our part.

Our Country S Right or Wrong

NEW OPPORTUNITIES
Our nation has long enjoyed superior dis-
tribution of its domestic' products to con-
sumers. In.the not distant future it will en-
joy a similar distribution of world products.
That this is no idle dream is evidenced by the
announcement of low-cost commercial air
service designed to expand postwar interna-
tional trade and tourist travel.
To gain some idea of the potential inter-
national cargo business, it is interesting to
note that domestic air express totaled 48,689
shipments in July, an increase of 16.7 per
cent over July, 1943. This is a foretaste of
the volume that will develop with expanded
international trade.
With the coming postwar aviation pro-
gram, unimagined avenues of trade will be
blazed to every corner of the world and pai-
ticularly to South America. Our- distribu-
tion system is now being co-ordinated to ren-
der a service never before dreamed of. Thou-
sands of new jobs will come into being along
with thousands of new opportunities for ad-
vancement, 1not only for individuals but for
communities.
Will Port St. Joe be ready and waiting for
the starting signal with a modern airport?

Someone in Fort Myers fears the women
there are about to go wild. Anonymously lhe
urged upon the city, commission the enact-
nient of a restraining ordinance. Since the
suggestion was not carried out, is it to. be,
assumed that the commission members like
wild women? Anyway, we're siding with the
commission. Since it's the -wearing by the
women of short shorts on the streets that
aroused Mr. Anonymous, we're wondering if
a little further thought on his part wouldn't
have enlisted his efforts in behalf of the men.
It's the men whom women's shorts are mak-
ing wild. We admit we're wild about the
glimpses we get, and we don't want any laws
to deprive us of those glimpses.-The Punta
Gorda Herald.

Editor The Star:
With our U. S. A. being the

tion, it is hard to fathom why we
are such ii unsettled lot. Nobody
seems to be tqo happy. Something'

NO LONGER A 'FORGOTTEN CROP'
"This is a crop I'll never neglect again,"
many Gulf county farmers today are saying
of pulpwood because of their experience dur-
ing the last year.
Many farmers started thinning their wood-,
lands a year ago in response to government
appeals and because it was a patriotic thing
to do. Now they are keeping it up because
they've found pulpwood cutting is also good
business.
A year ago Secretary of Agriculture Claude
Wickard observed that many American farm-
ers "have a forgotten crop that can be har-
vested any time" in an appeal for greater
pulpwood production. Today he would have
to change his description of pulpwood. It is
no longer "a forgotten crop."
Lots of our farmers have war bonds to
show for the pulpwood they have sold in the
last year. Others have new farm equipment
or cancelled mortagges. All have improve
woodlands if they thinned their trees prop.
erly.
Pulpwod has been a lifesaver for many
small farmers who heretofore relied on a
single crop for their livelihood. Too often a
perverse weather-a long drought or a se-
vere storm-wiped out their season's work
before harvest time.
Patriotism often pays in cash as well as in
the satisfaction of knowing that one is serv-
ing his country.

OVERSEAS GIFT MAILING
Just a reminder to, readers that Christmas
gift packages to servicemen and women
abroad must be mailed between September 15
and October 15 to arrive at their destination
in time.
Bear in mind that gifts must be wrapped
securely in strong boxes, bearing plainly the
address of both the sender and addressee.
. Also, place this same forwarding information
inside your package. Remember, too, that
perishable goods, intoxicants, inflammable
materials (matches, cigaret lighters, etc.),
poisons or weapons of any kind are strictly
prohibited.
The postoffice department's final admonT-
tion is to mark all parcels "Christmas Gift
Package."


The story is told that an Italianr prisoner
of war working on a peanut farm in the South
recently told the owner that Mussolini had
told the Italians that they would soon be
marching across the plains of the. United
States. "What he \didn't tell us," the prisoner
said, "was that we'd have to pick up ,peanuts
on the way."--Tyler (Texas) Journal.


We knew it Last week in an editorial we
used the expression worserr and worser," and
as we. wrote it we knew that someone would
hop on us about it, telling us there just ain't

our critic by hauling out Webster and tri-
umphantly pointing-out the word to him.
