'TREAT 'EM RIGHT', SAYS
COODY IN SOUTH PACIFIC
Somewhere in the Marianas
May 20, 1945
Dear Editor Bill I can't say
much about the place I am sta-
tioned, though the climate is sub-
tropical. I don't mind that so muen,
however there is very little to do
here except work, read and go to
shows. Oh, well-, can you name a
better way to spend a couple of
hours. Stop! No use to mention
that-the only American girls or
white women here are nurses-
and remember I'm, only a dog face.
But such is life!
The news that Germany had
given up was indeed good news,,
but not too much cause for cele-
bration over here, as the war goes
on daily, taking the lives of Ameri-
can youths. Still, we can now give
the Japs our full attention.
I noticed an editorial In The

never thought that the friendliness week, G. W. Parish.


of the people at home would alter
that much. They should be really
ashamed of themselves. If they
only knew, if there was some way
they could be shown what friend-
ship and hospitality shown to men
in the armed forces by the people
of the towns where they are sta-
tioned meant to them I am sure
they would change their attitude.
Some of those boys who are now
being given the cold shoulder in
St. Joe may soon be on some far-
flung 'battlefield giving their lives
co that, those Zf-1sanih people may
continue on their own selish way
of life. True, some soldiers. may
not be all they should be-but why
make the fellows who are okeh
suffer? The South used, to be
known for its. hospitality. With
boys from. all over the country
close to home, treat them so that
they will like and respect Its
people. That sort of boosting has
never hurt any city, for it-is the
people themselves and the sort ot
people they are that makes' any
town.
We fellows who have traveled
so much since .the, war and 'seen
most of the states as well as .sev-
eral foreign countries, have a fair
idea of the kind of town we want
our town tp be. We can't have that
sort of town unless we fight for it.
Thanks a million for keeping
The Star coming. Best of luck and
best wishes always. I will say

East Coast Rail

Case Is Argued

Sen. Claude Pepper Objects Stren
uously To Control Being Taken
By St. Joe Paper. Company

The petition for a reopening of
the Florida East Coast Railway
was taken, under advisement Wed.
nesday by the interstate commerce
commission at Washington. D. C.
The ICC recently gave control
of the railroad, to the St. Joe Paper
Company, a 4duPont i bsidlary,
which had bought up stock of the
road in the open market, all of
which is a matter of record'.
iSeems that Senator Claude Pep-
per and Congressman J. Hardin
Peterson object to the, St. Joe Pa-
per Company gaining control of
the railroad, .for they spent the
day Tuesday attempting to con-
vince the ICC that it should 'be
handed over to son e already
operating railroad company (We
wonder which one, sincd Mr. Pep-
per is so deeply interested?).
The whole question hinges on
the authority of the commission to
delegate operation of the road to
outsiders other than the bond-
holders, and Pepper maintained(
that it was the duty of the com-
mission to ignore rights of private
ownership in this case and that it
was up to the courts to. protect the
rights of private owners.
Giles J. Patterson, representius
the St. Joe Paper Company, chal-
lenged statements of the senator'
that the duPont estate is a sinister
influence, pointing out that it Is
a benevolent trust, for the will of
the late Alfred I. duPont provides
that the ultimate beneficiary of the
estate is the home for crippled
children on the duPont estate a
Wilmington, De'.. and a home fow
the aged.
Patterson explained that acqui-
sition of a majority of the bonds
of the Folrida East Coast by the
St. Joe Paper Company had been
a matter of record and an open
book after the road went into
bankruptcy.

TIME FOR TAKING
CENSUS EXTENDED

Thos. R. L. Carter, in charge of
taking the state census' for Gulf
county, announces that the, period
for doing the enumerating has
been extended ,by action of the.
legislature to June 31. Extension
was made due, to the lack of quali-
fied enumerators over the state.

who has not yet been contacted to
please 'get in touch with him im-
mediately in order that our county
may have a full count.
Results of the census will be an-

Sales Slow So Far

In 7th Bond Drive

County Still Is Far From Quota;
Chairman Urges Everyone
To "Buy Now"

According to figures received
this week from the Atlanta Fed-
eral Reserve Bank, the total of Z
bonds sold in Gulf county in the
Seventh War Bond Drive is, but
,$10,076, or 9 (per cent of our quota
of $110,000.
Chairman L. P. Sutton, in urg
ing the purchase of bonds, says:
"Assuming that there are enough.
people in the county with a little
cash to invest to take up our fltl
quota- of E bonds, and enouigl
eligible- buyers, of bonds of 'the
other series to take all those a,-
lotted to the county, they'd all
have been. taken by now if there
was a full realization on the part
of the people of the necessity for
the quick sale of the entire four-
teen billion. dollars worth the cout-
try is offered."
Mr. Sutton fears that, since Ge -
many has been conquered, there
is too much of a feeling that the
whole war Is' practically won.
"That's dangerous optimism," he
holds, "for, unless the unexpected
happens, we've got a hard and
co.slty war to fight out with a fa-
talistic people-the Japanese."
'The. chairman suggests as a slo.
gan, "Buy Now!" for if all wtho
have the money and intend to buy
bonds would do so right now, It
wouldn't' be long before we woula
see the goal reached.
Final victory will come more
quickly, and with less hardship
and danger to our boys, if we do
this job enthusiastically, as Wa
should. The home front is the
battle front in this drive, ana
shirkers are no more useful on one
than on the other.
Come on, folks! Let's buy-buy
all we can-buy now-and keep on
buying. Our fighting word in thim
drive is and should be "Buy,!"

NO LUMBER AVAILABLE
FOR CIVILIAN 'BUILDING

13. E. Kenney states that due to
a WPB announcement Wednesday
that domestic building restrictions
would be lifted' at an early date
he is being pestered to death by
individuals who want lumber for
building purposes.
"I'd like to give. it to 'em," said
Bas, "but what those people didn't
take time to read, in the WPB an-
nouncement was that lumber wil'
NOT be included in the -conmodi-
ties released.."

Our Country W Right or Wrong

"AIKOKUSHIN" VS. PATRIOTISM
Words are misleading. They mean entirely
different things to different people. f,
The Japanese term for patriotism is "aiko-
kushin." Yet "aikokushin," or love of coun-
try, in the twisted minds of the Japs is ex-
pressed through devotion to their ancestors
. never through respect for their fellow
humans.
As a result, the individual counts for noth-
ing. A typical worker in Japan works because
he has to. AJap pulpwood cutter, for ex-
ample, does not cut pulpwood because he is
patrTotic. He either cuts it or he doesn't .


and if lie doesn't, he goes to a concentration
camp.
For that matter, there is nothing particu-
larly patriotic about Japs buying war bonds
either. War workers earn barely enough" to
buy a few ounces of rice each day, yet a part
of those earnings is forcibly deducted to buy
war bonds of a highly questionable value.
How differently do we Americans think ot
patriotism! The sweat and toil that goes into
our war production reflects the deep-felt de-
votion of a free people who respect their
neighbors. The war bonds we buy are merely
an extension of that common effprt-an ex-
pression of our national responsibility that
ranges all the way from working in forests
and farms, and buying bonds to fighting and
dying for our country if need be.
The highest expression of "aikokushin" in
Japan is hara-kiri, or committing suicide.
The highest expression of American pa-
triotism is making our land a better place in
which to live.

Superstition-If you drop a knife and fork
at dinner it means that guests are coming. If
the knife and fork are missing it means that
the guests have come and gone.

We place the name of any bill collector in
line for forgotten man honors.

It's a toss-up these days to tell whether a
man is out of a job or out on a strike.

STARDUST and

MOONSHINE

Newsiest item of the week is
about the two local girls who got'
marooned out at Beacon Hill last
Friday night and, being u'a'ble to
secure a taxi or hitch-hike, had to
hoof it all the way back to town,
arriving early Saturday morning
as the sun was coming up. We
understand the only damage was
a couple of frayed tempers and
a few blistered heels.
Have you noticed that water-
melon vine growing out of the ce-
ment sidewalk in front of the St.
Joe Motor Company? Otto Ander-
son contemplates shipping- at least
a half a carload of melons in thd
,very near future.
Mrs. Esitelle Mosley never refers
to, her husband, Lt. (j.g.) Mosley,
as "Tom" or "miy husband." It's
always "Mosley."
Donald Linton. apparently has
ambitions. As soon as school waa
out he hied himself to Destin, Fla.,
and is now working on the dredge
Blackwater.
Un.mpire Peck Boyer and: Score-
keeper- "Wake" Wakefield were ap-
parently asleepD on the job Tues-
day night in the softball game be-
tween the- high school and the Le-
gion. In the fifth inning they ai-
lowed the Legionnaires four outs.
Jeff Plair and Durel Brigman werei
struck out, 'Grady Plair was caught
at third and' Joe Grimsley was out
at first on a short hit. The fourth
out allowed one 'run to come in.
But it didn't make much d4ffer-


ence, since the Legion won 14- 9. r
Seems that the aspirations of
John Robert Smith and Massey
Ward, to become owners of a string
of world-girdling steamships has !
been nipped in the bud prema-
turely. Their recently overhauled
palatial 18-foot canal-going motor-
boat was crushed like an eggshell
a short time ago when a loaded
barge smacked into it where it
was mobred, in the canal at High-
land View. They managed to sal-
vage 1he horn and .battery. Last
we heard was that they were giv-
ing an insurance adjuster fits and
trying to collect a dime or two.

Mr. and Mrs. C. Thursby and ,4

ST. JOE LUMBER & EXPORT COMPANY


PORT ST. JOE, FLORIDA


May 30, 1945

A lot of people think that on account of the end of the
European War that restrictions have been eased up on lumber. This is not
a fact at all The truth of the matter is that restrictions are tighter than
ever before, and when the War Production. Board stated through the press
yesterday that domestic building restrictions would be-lifted at an early
date, they specifically announced that LUMBER WOULD NOT BE IN-
CLUDED IN THE COMMODITIES RELEASED.

We are advised by the Government that LUMBER
now is a COMBAT WEAPON and the need for lumber in the Pacific is so
great that it ranks with ammunition as a combat essential. They state fur-
ther that if Chicago were built entirely of wood that all of the' lumber used
in it's construction would not be enough to build the bases needed in the
Pacific War.

We sincerely hope that with this information before
our friends, that they will not insist on our furnishing them lumber for their
needs. We hope that it won't be long before we will be in position to fur-
nish lumber locally, however, again we state that we hope our friends will
not insist at the present time, on account of the dire need of lumber which
is now classed as a COMBAT WEAPON.
