Kiwanis Softballers
Take Panama 17-2

'The local Kiwanis softball team
took the Panama City Kiwanians
for a 17 to 2 ride in the return
match between the two teams
played at Centennial Field Wed-
nesday night.
The visitors chalked up two
runs in the first inning and felt
rather perky about the tilt, but the
St. Joe gang evened the score in
the last of the first and then really
went to town in the second, 11
runners crossing the plate. In the
next two stanzas nothing but
goose' eggs were put up on the
scoreboard, .but in the fifth the
local team put over four more
runs for a total of 17
'Best play of the evening was
made by Alex Young who played
for a double at second when there
wasn't a runner on first.

Legion Making

Plans for V-Day

Asking Co-operation of Everyone
In Making Observance
'Safe and Sane'

Blazing the trail for a "safe
and sane" observance of V-day
when the whistles and fire siren
announce the capitulation of Ger-
many or Japan, Willis V. Rowan
Post 116, American Legion, is en-
listing the aid of local business
men in the campaign.
While all business houses have
not yet been contacted by tha ea-
hor of The Star on behalf of the
Legion, those who have been in-
terviewed in regard, to closing for
a 24-hour period have expressed a
willingness to co-operate fully,
Local ministers will be asked to
hold. prayer services at their
churches on that day, and Mayor
J. L. Sharit has been asked to Is-
osue a Eproclamation calling on the
people of the city for full co-op-
eration.
A resolution-.passed by the Le-
gion Post reads: "Believing that
the day of Germany's) collapse Is
not the time for unrestrained cel-
bration and mass gatherings in
tle streets of Port St. Joe, but
rather that we should take a notch
ini our belts and, pause long enough
to thank God, each in his own
way, and ask for strength to' com-
plete the enormous task which
lies before us in the Pacific, we
ask the co-operation of all busi-
ness houses and individuals of the
city to join us in making V-Day a
safe and sane occasion."

Our Country W Right or Wrong

LET'S MAKE IT 'SAFE AND SANE'
The local American Legion Post has insti-
gated a movement to make the observance
of V-Day in Port St. Joe "safe and sane,"
and is calling upon the business concerns and
citizenry to co-operate fully when the siren
and the whistles announce the surrender of
Germany.
Everyone should co-operate fully for, while
it will be a time for rejoicing, it would be
fitting likewise to remember our boys out in
the. Pacific theater of war and offer up a
prayer asking that they too may soon com-
plete their job of saving our civilization from
the barbarian hordes. When that day arrives
we can really celebrate, but in the approach-
ing da)y of victory let us keep it "safe and
sane" and work all the harder for the victory
in the Pacific.

We just bought us a suit of that new Vic-
tory underwear-one deep breath and you
open a second front.

If you really want to complain about the
rain, why not move to Iquique, Chile? It
hasn't rained there in 18 years.-Titusville

riod of inactivity to permit reconversion of
manufacturing plants from wartime to peace-
time production. We should consider our-
selves lucky from that standpoint, for num-
bers of other communities, centers of over-
night wartime-built industries will not only
have a slump during the conversion period,
but a decidedly large slump when Japan is
forced to surrender. The St. Joe Paper Com-
pany mill will go right ahead turning out its
kraft products and the St. Joe Lumber and
Export Company will be equally as busy get-
ting out lumber not only for war needs but
for civilian needs as well.
Even on V-Day there will still be need for
many pulpwood products by our armed
forces. So long as there are any Americau
forces in Europe, the array will need boxes
and other containers made of pulpwood to
ship them food amd clothing. Moreover, there
will be an increase in the shipment of food to
feed civilians in liberated countries.
Once the European war has ended, military
operations in the Pacific will be stepped up
.tremendously. That means the shipment ot
more supplies and equipment to this combat
area, most of which will be packed in pulp-
wood products or crated with lumber.
But behind all these continuing war needs
will be a backlog of civilian requirements for
many kinds of paper and lumber that alone
would keep pulp, paper and lumber mills run-
ning full scale for months after both our wars
have ended in victory.
And pulpwood and saw timber cut for war
in Gulf county is the same pulpwood and saw
timber that will be in demand for peacetime
production. Getting these materials out is a
wartime job now, but they have a postwar
future as well.

It niust be terrible when a woman gets so
mad she can't think of a word to say.

Keep smiling!
