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.

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?

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!
