Gay, 22, of Port St. Job, Fla., is a member of a transporta- tion corps railway shop battalion at this port that moulded hammers, bits and crowbars from salvage pieces of iron, steel and lead to as- semble sections of fuel barges which will transport oil and pe- troleum across the English Chan- nel. These railway barge builders also had' to re-enforce the supports of the slipway before the barges could be assembled on them. "My crew never assembled a barge before,", said the technical sergeant in charge, "but now we turn out five every three and a half days." The barge sections are swung into place on the slipway by an English steam crane, then the crew bolts and rivets the sections to- gether, using their improvised tools. A fiber gasket and water- proof sealing compound is placed between the joints of each section. The bracings for the. fuel holds are swung into place and' bolted, and the flat top assembled in sections. When the barge has been as- sembled and painted, the centrifu- gal pumps and oil pipes are placed in the four holds. The flat top deck is also used to hold decPL cargo and can accommodate three THE STAR The Home Newspaper of Northwest Florida's Future Industrial Ceni'er VOLUME VIII PORT ST.

" Boosted By City City Commission Finds Increases Necessary In Order To Meet Rising Operating Costs In order to meet increased op- erating costs and due to the fact that the city will receive no- reve- nue this year from the race track fund. the board of city commis- sioners at its meeting Tuesday 1 night passed two ordinances pro- p viding for an increase in the tax i on entertainments of all types and increasing the tax per gallon on gasoline from one-half cent to one- cent. Both ordinances will become effective February 3. The entertainment tax ordinance 1 provides for a tax of 2 cents on t each admission charged exceeding 10 cents, but not exceeding 15 cents; 4 cents on each admission exceeding 15 cents, but not exceeft- N ing 25 cents, and 5 cents on eacn admission exceeding 25 cents.

The board also had up for first reading an ordinance providing for the assessing of 50 cents per month per family unit or business estab- lishment for garbage collection. The boost in village, and the levy for garbage collection was found necessary by the board dub to increased city operating costs and the fact that no revenue will be received this year from the race track fund.

Mobile Unit To Do Agricultural Research Work Will Help Guidle and Direct De- velopment of This 'Section Into - Profitable Agricultural Area By J. B. WHITE, Agronomist r'he mobile experiment station located in Gulf county, which will also work Bay, Calhoun, Liberty r 'T'anklin counties, is a branch or sub-station of the experiment station in Quincy. The purpose of any experiment ;-ition is to do research work. It tries to answer the whys, where, hows and the whens of any prob- lem. The problems of this, area are many, and it will take a long time to answer them. Another purpose is to help guide and di- rect the development of this set- tion into a sound, -practical ana profitable agricultural area. One of the first problems of this station will be that of grasses', clovers and winter feed' crops on the flats or prairies In the several counties. Along with this, work will be done with timber. Then, finally, work will be done with vegetables, fruits, etc. The main theme of all of tne above-mientioned will be soils. The type we. have and how to, fertilize and manage it in order to makv plants grow profitably. These mobile units are co-opera- tive offices. There must be the fullest co-operation between the landowner and the station. Some have the idea that the station will plow and plant several acres or grass, etc., for the individual free of charge. This idea is wrong. In some cases, however, there will be larger acreage, such as 50 or 60 acres, seeded for pasture manage- ment. In these cases the land- owner will bear the greater portion of the expense. The factors which will determine where the experimental plots, will be located are soil type, location, and co-operation of the landowner. Kelly Boys Home for Holidays Lt. Harold W.

Volumes of rhetoric will be written about the awful destruction of the past twelve months. Puny efforts will be made to describe the suf- fering of the men of the armed forces, who face death day after day, year after year, far from home and loved ones. Actually, there are no words that can adequately sum up 1944, the most critical year in American his- tory. The astounding thing about the home front -and that includes Port St. Joe-is the fact that except for the families of service men, it lives normally and has no conception of the horrors of war. Communiques from Wash- ington on the price of toilet paper or some other trivial item fill countless columns in the daily newspaper. Social security planning, "full" employment and dizzy talk of a con- tented post war world, with all the worries assumed by a benevolent government, arise from the American scene like a haze from a swamp. Clear, unqualified thought on the subject of personal freedom is almost totally lacking. ... Millions expect government to furnish them jobs, to guarantee peacetime prices, to pro- tect them from the insecurity of competition. They should remember that the more they ask of government, the less freedom they will have. Our people could lose everything of ma- terial value as the price of victory in this war and still have a bright future. However, let too much government destroy the freedom and hope of the individual to build again and there is no future. The right of ownership is more important than ownership itself. WE MUST NOT FAIL Someday the war is going to end. Someday millions .of American men will come home from across the seas, and again the danger will be faced that the people of a war-weary United States will wash their hands of in- ternational problems. If they succumb to that danger they will probably never have another grace period in which to muddle through a "preparedness program" such as they have 'had in the last two wars. Now, before the war is over, before the danger of a weary reaction sets in, is the time to help create an effective peace organization and to help lay the groundwork for dissolv- ing archaic trade barriers. The late Wendell Willkie spoke from the heart when he said: "I was a 'soldier in the last war, and after that war was over I saw our bright dreams disappear, our stirring slo- 11 gans become the jests of the cynical, and all because the fighting peoples did not arrive at any common postwar purposes while they fought. It must be our resolve to see that this does not happen again. "While they fight, the people of the world must come to a common understanding of what they fight for and what they hope for. Millions have already died in this war and many thousands more will go before it is over. Unless Britons and Canadians, and Rus- sians and Chinese, and Americans and all our fighting Allies, in the, common co-operation of war, find the instrumentalities and the methods of co-operative effort after the war, we, the people, have failed our time and our generation." ETAOIN SHRDLU Our redoubtable Frank Colby's broad ex- perience in the field of words was, of course, sooner or later, to include a personal meeting with the formidable little gremlin who has made his presence felt in newspaper shops ever since the invention of that remarkable typesetting device, the linotype machine. We refer, naturally, to the puckerish Mr. Etaoin Shrdlu. The unique spelling of his name un, doubtedly is due to the fact that two of the vertical rows of keys on a linotype machfile are arranged in that order. Similarly, if one ran his fingers down the third and fourth vertical rows of keys on a typewriter, he would produce: 3edc 4rfv. Now, no one particularly resents the fact that Etaoin Shrdlu likes to loiter around a composing room. In fact, his presence is gen- erally welcome, because often the linotype operator gets a line of type off to a bad start and desires to fill it out hurriedly so it can be discarded and a new one started. Etaoinv is always handy on the keyboard, and he gets into type either by his first, last or full name, depending upon how much space there is to fill." Sometimes'he is 'acconipanied by rather eccentric verbiage. Witness Mr. Colby's: "Be proud that you speak etaoin shrdlu cmfwyp up." Or, "The i bride was lovely in ETAOIN SHRDLU and her flowers were mgthfkn gwkoicym."-The Nashville Banner. F "Battle News," newspaper of the U. S.

The war has taught home- makers a lot of things and the easiest task to learn was how to change fuses when service is in- terrupted by blown fuses. In days of peace the average homemaker would phone the electric com- pany when in this trouble, but by following the suggestions given below anyone can change a fuse quickly and safely, 1. PULL MAIN SERVICE SWITCH. Check up beforehand and read the instructions on the switch-box, which tell how to open the circuit. After the switch is pulled the entire service in the house will be disconnected. 2. LOOK FOR THE BLOWN FUSE. With main switch OFF. the burned-out fuse may be iden- tified at times by a darkened spot if it is a cartridge, or a broken link in the case of a screw type. 3. TO CHANGE A CART- RIDGE FUSE. With main switch still in OFF position, grasp the 'use in the middle with the fin- gertips and give it a firm tug to break the grip of the spring clips. The replacement is inserted the same way and will snap Into the clips when pressure is applied. TO CHANGE A SCREW-TYPE FUSE. With the main switch OFF, imply turn the top in a counter- clockwise direction. The replace- ment is screwed in clockwise. 4. CLOSE MAIN SERVICE SWITCH. If this does not re-es- ablish the service interrupted by he blown fuse, pull the main witch again and check the other uses again until the defective mne is found. Be sure to have main switch OFF for all fuse check-ups. If fuses continue to blow after replacementt look for a frayed cord on your lamps or appliances. f none can be found, call an electrician to find the source of rouble. Onion Transplants In the shorter season areas, onion transplants are especially valuable and starting the seed in flats is recommended, using well rotted manure and ammoniated phosphate. Strike in Sulu Sea .ns- I, ,-- .. . Oficial U. S. Navy Soundphoto Surprised by carrier-based U. S. Navy planes in the Sulu sea, the Jap battleship "Yamashiro," fore- ground, and another battleship be- lieved of the "kongo!) class, ma- neuver frantically in a vain effort ,to evade the winged attack. These two war ships were the dominant units of the force which was com- pletely wiped out in the Surgae Straits. ----5 -- Army Organization Generally speaking, a company (called a battery in artillery and a troop in cavalry) consists of a head- quarters and two or more platoons (a platoon usually contains about 36 men); it is commanded usually by a captain. A battalion (squadron in cavalry) consists of two or more companies of similar units and cer- tain special units, commanded by a major or lieutenant colonel; a regi- ment, which is the largest perma- nent unit of artillery, is composed of three batallions and generally is commanded by a lieutenant-colonel or colonel; a division, largest com- bat unit in the army, varies in size from 8,000 to 30,000 men and is commanded by a general officer. Tender Plants Squashes are among the tender- est of plants. The seeds should be sown only after the ground is thor- oughly warm. Sow in rich soil in' the full sun, with 8 to 10 feet between the vine varieties and 3 to 5 feet for the bush sorts.

We home girls often work just as hard and have just as many Headaches, just as many Stomach Upsets and get just as Tired. About a year ago, I first used ALKA-SELTZER I find that it eases my Aching Head, takes the kinks out of Tired, Aching Muscles and brings relief when I have Acid Indigestion. The family says I am a loit easier to live with since I have known about Alka-Seltzer. *Have you tried ALKA-SELT. ZER?, If not, why don't you get a package today?
