RONALD OUTLAW MISSES HIS HUNTING AND FISHING Somewhere in France. October 3, 1944. Dear Editor Bill-How is gooc ol' Port St. Joe these days.? Bet- ter than ever I imagine. I heard through the mail that you printed my last letter, and I appreciate It. I still feel the same and always will. I have really seen lots over here -lots I wish I hadn't. I have been to Paris, Cherbourg and many other large towns that were battle grounds and leveled to the earth. How is the fishing in good old GflTf county? Also hunting season is sure close at hand. I sure wish I were there to go. I'm really go- ing to miss those days. Tell all my. friends thound there I said, "hello" and to write me. Pvt. RONALD H. OUTLAW. 34799269 3052 Combat Eng. Bn., Co.

Therefore, I, J. L. Sharit, under virtue of authority vested in me as mayor of the city of Port. St. Joe, do hereby proclaim: 1.

SHARIT, Gulf County War Fund Drive Far From Quota Set Chairman McKnight Urges Every- one to Dig Down and Make Contribution Now Dear Editor Bill-I noticed in last week's Star where you saiu that the chairman of the Gult County War Fund Drive was as quiet as a clam about the progress of the drive so far. In reply to that statement I am happy to sub- mit the following report of re- ceipts: From dance of Oct. 6.... $254.84 Port theater benefit show.. 54.80 From local merchants...... 277.00 Individual contributions ... 83.00 Total ..................$669.64 Pledged .................. $20.00 While your chairman is just itchin' to publish a list of donors to this most worthy cause, I feel sure that it is hardly the right thing to do at this time. Some of the donors do not like to have their names published in connec- tion with campaigns, and we. do want to save any embarrassment that might arise." However, I think that it is in order to list the members of the $25 club among the merchants. They are: A & P Food Store, Cos- tin's. Department Store and Mil- ler's Drug Store. I think it en- tirely.. inp order --4Ze, .to mention that the Port Theater is a char- ter member of the, $50 club an-c the Gulf Hardware Company or the $20 club. Among individuals the following are members of the $5 club: Dr. J. R. Norton, H. Y. Brown, Mrs. Eliza E. Lawson, H. B. Lewis and M. P. Tomlinson. B. R. Gibson is charter member oZ the $4 club.

OW I- Timber Off San Bias Peninsula Finest In South Military Reservation Timber Harvested By St. Joe Lum- ber & Export Company One million feet of mature slasa pine logs has been removed front the San Blas Military Reservation during the past six weeks. -Thirtyl of Tom Byrd's loggers have felled the big trees, snaked the stems full length to the loaders and kept five or six trucks operating "teadily over the 10 miles of road -rom San Blas lighthouse to the big mill of the St. Joe Lumber & Export Company here in Port St. Joe. Originally it was the intent of Basil E. Kenney to hold all of the timber until January of 1945 when the flatwoods becomes too wet for regular logging. Then he woul'a move his. loggers to the sandy dunes of San Blas. Excessive rains in this section during July and Au- gust necessitated some immediate cutting on San Blas in order to maintain operations at the mill. The timber was- purchased ou open bidi from the war department on August 22 by the St. Joe Lum- ber & Export Company at someu- thing above the, set miniijim price of $12.50 per thousand board feet log scale. The sale marked a dis- tinct change on the part of the war department in handing of their timber resources. Although there were no laws prohibiting sale of timber on military reser- vations, army regulations made' such sales impossible. As the re- sult of protracted discussion among various liranches of the service, and finally through the efforts o? the chief of engineers, the regiea- tions were modiffied to allow for the normal harvesting of timber crops on military reservations. Pie disposal of such timber from San Bias is the-first of such sales. San Bias Military Reservation was carved out of public domain back on March 23, 1849.. Those were the days when the "Tide o? Empire" moved not only west, but south. This country had just com- pleted a successful war with Mex- ico. The American people were In the midst of the controversial sub- ject of slavery.

Sometimes the week's ironing tires me and make. -me sore" and stiff. Then it's ALKA-SELTZER to the rescue-a tablet or two and a little rest makes me feel more like finish- ing the job. And when I eat "not wisely but too well," ALKA-SELTZER relieves the Acid Indigestion that so often follows. Yes, Alka- Seltzer brightens my day. It brings relief from so many of my. discomforts, that I always keep it, handy. Why don't you get a package of ALKA-SELTZER at your drug store today? ,Large Package 60,, Small 300.'

Our Country Right or Wrong TODAY IS NAVY DAY Navy Day, today, is a day of gratitude and rejoicing, but most of all a day of re-dedica- tion to the stern tasks ahead. This day is set apart each year so that a grateful nation may have an opportunity to pay tribute to its victorious fleet, honor the devotion and heroism of its men, and recog- nize anew the vital part which the navy must continue to play in order to win a complete victory and guarantee freedom in the peace to follow. The powerful slogan for this 1944 Navy Day "Your Fleet Guarantees Freedom - strikes a most realistic note as we read the dramatic successes of the navy as it edges its way closer and closer toward the home- land of Japan, driving to the bottom of the sea enemy ships and enemy planes which im- pede its progress. The national observance of Navy Day was inaugurated on October 27, 1922, under the auspices of the Navy League of the United States in order that the American people might become more familiar with the navy and gain a greater appreciation of its import- ance and influence in our national life. As the pioneer civilian organization de- voted to national defense, the Navy League was founded in 1902. It is non-partisan, norn- commercial and non-political and its efforts through the past 42 years to interpret the navy to the American people have made it virtually a civilian arm of the service. October 27 was chosen as the date for the observance .of Navy Day because it marks the anniversary of the date in 1775 when the Con- tinental Congress received the bill providing for the creation of an independent fleet. it is also the birthday of Theodore Roosevelt, who was a determined advocate of a strong navy.

It is one vote more or one vote less for 'the winning candidate. That much is certain. If it is one vote more for the winning can- didate it does that much to place a stamp ot approval on the candidate. Because of your vote he is encouraged to carry out in office what he said he would do during the cam- paign. Because of your vote the philosophy of government championed by the candidate or displayed by him in office is approved and is given additional strength. If it is one vote less for the winning can- didate, even though winning, he may be in- duced to study again what he plans to do or what he has been doing. That vote in opposi- tion will incline the candidate to reason why it is cast in opposition to him. If it is one vote less for the winning candidate it is at the same time one vote more for the losing candidate. If the losing candidate has right on his side, or is more nearly right than the winning candidate, he will be encouraged to continue his fight that right shall prevail. Right does not always triumph by one elec- tion, neither does wrong lose out by one elec- tion.

Panama City, our nextdoor neighbor, is one, for example. It seems to us that the objective of the average community with war industries ita to hold fast to wartime peaks. Many are go- ing to be disappointed, if they pin their hopes too strongly on the dreams of rainbow chasers to the exclusion of cold facts. We of Port St. Joe should be duly thankful that we did not secure any wartime industries, for af- ter the let-down we will continue on our way just as we always have. It would seem that now is the time for all communities to look with new appreciation upon the old-established industries that help- ed them prosper in peacetime. After the il- lusions of the rainbow chasers evaporate, those industries will be with them, paying taxes and working to build payrolls and etn- large markets. Keep smiling! ,The light was erected shortly al- ter. This same light is still plainly visible to the people of Port St. Joe every clear night. As recently as November 20, 1917, additional forties were set aside to provide a new location foi .the light because the old site. was in danger or washing away. i This light is 101 feet above the 'water and sends a 20-second flasa. 16 miles to sea. Even during these critical U-boat attacks at the out- the trees would have required un- usually large machinery, and the plan was finally dropped. The forests on San BIas repre- sent one of the last stands of vii- gin slash pine on the Gulf coast. .Some of the trees are short ana limby,, ,but most of them are tall with large crowns and thick boles. Mature trees range in height from 60 to 95 feet and reach diameters of four feet at four and a half feet above the ground. Some timbers ca and even parts of South Amer- break of the war this light flashed that squared 12 by 16 inches for ica were to ,be absorbed.

Foresters from the Timber Production War Project and from Eglin Field marked the giants to come out, and they es- timate that 2,000,000 feet of lum- ber will be harvested, from San Bias. Mr. Kenney's loggers have already removed half of the trees and upon their ,return in January the remainder will ,be. cut. Jim Kirkland and Dick Sumner of TPWP have been the government representatives on the job. Who was responsible for the es- tablishment of the ,San Bias Res- ervation will probably never be answered, but today, a hundred years later, the armed, forces of this country are indebted to him for his foresight. Today San Blas is supplying them with some or the finest pine timber produced in the South. The. next crop perhaps will be used for more peaceful purposes in a better world. TIMBER-GRAZING TRACT A 320-acre tract near Wewa- hitchka is being used as a dena- ons:tration plot for the timber- grazing-game program in Gulr county. Interest in this plan for utilizing land to its .best purpose is increasing steadily in this ses- tion, according to County Agent J. B. White, who was in Port St. Joe Tuesday getting his locks ,shorn.

Without this com- bination there is little progress . .. with it there is growth and prosperity, development and constant progress toward new horizons. Of the bank loans made in Florida during the last 12 months, by far the greatest number made by any single fi- nancial organization have been made by banks of the Florida National Group, situated in 15 strategic centers of Florida's agriculture, commerce, indus- try and recreation. In total dollar volume, these 29,673,loans amount to $153,- 223,651. This is a vast sum of money, and it has vast import- ance to Florida because it turns into potent energy that creates new businesses, expands old business, makes farmland fruit- ful and sets the wheels of indus- try humming faster and faster. If you think of these loans in terms of money alone, they be- come merely a cold, remote and only slightly interesting sta- tistic. But if you view them in terms of human values, in terms of pay-envelope dollars, of growth and of development, they challenge the imagination. Whether you, as an indivi- dual, are not even distantly associated with any of the 29,- 673 borrowers to whom these loans were made, this money is, nevertheless, working -for you because it is helping to build a greater prosperity fort Florida and all Floridians., FLORA FLORIDXNATIONAL-GRO Ut -P L'GMai ITS DEPOSITORS PAGE SIX THE STAR, Poo-r ST.~ Jt)F-,_Gt) FCCOUNTY,_LRD _fRID_6 9.BER 27,14 -* |
