Local Boys Return


After Being Held As


Prisoners of Nazis


Paul Farmer and Foy Scheffer
Home After Weary Months
As Prisoners of War

Somewhat worse, for wear, but
still cocky and with chins held
high, two Port St. Joe boys ar-
rived home this week after being
released, from German prisoner of
war camps where, they hadi been
held for long, weary, months,. They
are Sgt. Paul James Farmer and
Pfc. Richard F. Scheffer. sons of
Mr. and Mrs. Paul D. Farmer and
Mr. and Mrs. R. F. 'Scheffer.
iSgt. Farmer, who weighed 112
pounds when released' from the
Nazi camp two months ago, now
weighs 157. His plane, a B-17
bomber on which he acted as, en-
gineer, gunner and assistant radio
operator,- was shot down on a raid
over France on January 5, 1944
(his first flight on which he was
credited, with shooting down three
enemy planes). He was seriously
wounded in the. leg when a bullet
shattered a sheet of plexiglass and
the fragments, entered his right
leg. This eventually led to hts
capture after he had parachuted to
safety.
The French underground, pro-
vided him with civilian clothes,
but a short time lateVr"'he was
picked up by the gestap'-' -a nt
to a prison camp in ;i r'-rTer-

their big push. he, with thousands,
of other prisoners, was marched'
from prison camp to prison camp,
ever westward, and covered 623
miles barefoot through snow, mud
and' slush (the Germans having
taken his shoes) between March
and May of this year. Many of the
prisoners on -'this, march died o0

Danley Announces New Home

Freezer for Postwar

NEW HOME FREEZER HAS"REACH-I CONVENIENCE" LIKE REFRIGERATOR
Home Economist Jane Schleicher is shown removing a frozen roast
from a test model of the new upright home freezers that Westinghouse
will build soon after civilian goods production is resumed; As family,
companions to household refrigerators, these new home freezers will
bave'the same "Reach-in Convenience", floor space requirements and
beauty that have always characterized Westinghouse refrigerators.
(Tbe new Westinghouse upright "The two functions of freezing
home freezers for city and farm and storing foods will be done


'use with front-opening doors and
sectional inner doors for easy food
storage and! removal will be, sold
in Port St. Joe and vicinity by' the
Danley Furniture,'Company, it was
announced yesterday by Mr. Opp
Moore, local Danley manager.
"This upright design-in contrast
to- the horizontal models com-
monly in use in food stores-will
make the neiw home freezer the
companion piece to the household
eleictrit refrigerator in size a hn
find i,;and will provide the same
reach-in convenience of the re-
frigerator," said, Mr. Moore.
"Since the cabinet will occupy
no more floor space than' a re-
frigerator of comparable size," he
continued,, "it can be located' in the
most convenient place in the
home."
Mr. Moore said, he had, been ad-
vised by the Westinghouse Elec-
tric Appliance, Division of Mans-
field, Ohio, that they would man-
ufacture home freezers shortly af-
ter civilian production of electric
appliances is resumed, adding:
"We will have for sale in our
Port St. Joe store all three'modes.
of the new home freezer, starting.
with a six-cuibic-foot size, and will,
with this range of product, be able


separately in all models," Mr.
Moore pointed out. "Sectional in-
ner doors 'and' shelves make it
possible to select specific footb
from an individual section of the
cabinet without disturbing food
arrangements or temperatures in
other sections'. Zero temperature
is. maintained in storage comparm-
meats. On the freezing surfaces,
temperatures range from 10 de-
grews below zero to-20 deer2-, : e-
low zero. I
"Defrosting," Mr. Moore added,
"will be as easy, but far less trr-
quent than defrosting an electric
refrigerator, andi it will not be
necessary to remove foods from
the storage sections. Actual home
tests, of the' new home freezers
show that users open their cabi-
nets on an average of only' once
or twice a day-or less in a month
than the average, domes-tic refrig-
erator is opened: every day-and
defrosting therefore need be done
only once every six or nine
months,."
The new upright home freezer
will, like the domestic electric re-
frigerator, have a hermetically
sealed system. Thus, service will
be simplified to a point comparable


to meet both urban andi farm re- to household refrigerator servic-
quirements. ing, he, explained,.

THE EMBLEM NOBODY
KNOWS


A lot of people Fere in Port
St. Joe do not know what the
emblem above represents, yet a
number of our local boys are
wearing it. It says for them, "I
Have Served." Yes, that's what
the little golden emblem-the
United States Service Discharge
Pin says for its wearer. The
wearers are the boys who gave
up the comforts and pleasures of
home to protect the things they
and we believe in and cherish.
And, having given as much as
was in them, they have been, re-
turned to civilian life to
carry on behind the lines.
The publisher of The Star Is
going to endeavor to change tre
meaning ofthis button here in
Port St. Joe from "The Emblem

SAND IN SHOES TO
BRING SERVICEMEN
BACK TO FLORIDA

(Continued from Page 1)
longed to 'be back in Florida
where 'they could enjoy nature's
air-conditioning, a cooling diip 11
the surf and clean fresh air. Batt-
ling the bitter winds of hte North
during winter months, they re
membered Florida, envied, the
folks who were there and were
comforted as they told their bud-
dies about the wonderful climate.
Then they went overseas, they
visited., foreign lands, compared
them first with their own country
and then withi Florida. They began
Ito realize 'that they never had
hated Florida; they loved it and
they longed' to return.
I know this is true, for during
the past few months I have re-
ceived numerous letters -from serv-
ice people who at one time or an-
other were stationed in this state.
They ask me about conditions
and what I think their chances
would be of finding employment.
Mos' of them could go back to
their old homes and find their old
job waiting for them, but they pre-
fer to live in Florida if possible.
When they left this state many
were sure they never wanted, to
see it again. They climbed aboard
troop trains gleefully, -thumbed
their noses at the sand and scrub
palmetto and, screamed: "Florida,
if'I never see' you again it will be
too soon." But they didn't reckon
with that bit of sand in their
shoes.
It was, not until they had' been
places and seen things, until they
had had, plenty of opportunity to
make comparisons that it began to
dawn on them that Florida wasn't
such a -bad place after all.
So now they want to come back.
A lot of 'them want to come back
and they want to stay. They aru
looking for opportuitrie's .tor--nerr
ployment or the establishment ot
a business of their own. They asic
about living conditions and costL,
about business' opportunities ana
agricultural advantages.
Many of them have been saving
their money and expect to have a
comfortable nest egg when they
leave the servied.. They are not in-
terested in generalities. about 'thu
state. They want to know about
specific opportunities. What towns
could support a new radio shop,
,machine' shop, book store'? Hoaw
about doctors andl lawyers or pun-
lic accountants?
.Could a fellow find a good piece
of farm land and make a living
starting With a capital of $3000?
Could a fellow with experience
get a job on a railroad in-Plorida'
These and a hundred' other simt-
lar question's are being asked. You
don't have to sell these folk on
coming to Florida. They want to
come'. They know about the clI-
mate, the many attractions, the
flowers and birds and sunshine-
what they are most interested in"
is "Can I get a jolb? Can I make a
living?"
The Florida communities that
are smart enough to intelligently
answer such, question-' and which
go out of their way to provide
such information in a friendly ana
helpful manner will reap -a rich
reward'.
Florida needs' youth and energy
and courage. It wants, -these serv-
icemen to come here, and they will
come if given, proper encourage-
-nent.

PORT ST. JOE, FLORIDA


APALACHICOLA, FLORIDA

June 18, 1945


The supply of Coca-Cola in Port St. Joe definitely will be affected by
the further curtailment in the supply of sugar after July 1st because the
manufacturer of that popular drink will not compromise with the use of
substitutes.

However, an equitable system of rationing will be maintained in Port
St. Joe during the shortage, according to R. P. Nedley, Manager of the
Apalachicola Coca-Cola Bottling Company.
The OPA announced today that the allotment of sugar to industrial users
would be cut to 50% of the sugar used in the Third Quarter of 1941, effec-
tive July 1st. I

"I am informed that this sugar shortage is world-wide and not merely
national, and is directly attributed to the confusion in the production and
distribution of sugar occasioned by the war," said Mr. Nedley.
"Sugar is absolutely necessary in the manufacturing of Coca-Cola. We
cannot and will not use sweetening substitutes, and therefore will not com-
promise Awith the integrity of Coca-Cola. Therefore when sugar is short,
there must be a shortage in the amount of Coca-Cola, but you can be certain
that the quality of Coca-Cola will remain unchanged.
"My Company is committed to play fair with our Government and obey
its regulations in' both letter and spirit; to maintain the quality of our drink
and to maintain an equitable distribution system to serve all our customers
equally, and that we will do.
"We still have a war to win, and that comes first, but we will attempt
still to get you all of the Coca-Cola that is possible and what we have will
be available to all. I only ask that if your dealer does not have Coca-Cola
available on the day you seek it, ask him another day, because we will keep
our distribution up on a regular basis although the supply will be curtailed."

Ow Country Right or Wrong

THAT G. I. BILL OF RIGHTS
Here in Port St. Joe we don't hear so very
much about the G. I. Bill of Rights passed by
congress, but from other parts of the coun-
try are coming cries of anguish, and from ail
appearances a big storm is brewing, for while
some parts of the bill are okeh, a number or
portions seem to need rewording and revision.
It seems that there is a heck of a lot of
red tape in connection with it and that the
veteran who wants to borrow money finds
himself stymied at every turn. This is evi-
,denced by the fact that up to the middle of
February this year there were only eight ap-
plications in the entire" nation filed with the
veterans administration for farm-loan guar-
antees, with three granted, and but eleven for
business-loan' guarantees, with six granted.
A million and a half veterans were eligible
for these loans, and that is the record.
Charges have been made that members ot
congress were greatly concerned over cost of
the G.- I BLill :.,.l that they cleverly hedged
it about-with all sorts.of restrictions so what
looked like .nice.setup for the veterans is,_nio
chance at all.
But regardless of how-come the bill got
the way it is, there'll have to be some changes
made in it, and if congress chooses to resist'
making the changes-well, just between you
and me and the gatepost, we'd hate to be a,
member of that congress!

MORE THAN SKIN DEEP
They say beauty is only skin deep. Perhaps
that is so-who are we to say. But much of
it comes from mines hundreds of feet deep in:
the earth. A lot of women here in Port St.
Joe would' be. surprised to learn of some of
the weird chemical tricks that contribute to
their (shall we say breathtaking?) appear-
ance. Most of these chemical tricks use coal.
Nearly all textile dyes are derived from coal.
Dozens of chemicals and resins obtained from
coal are :i...:.-. to process or finish fabrics.
From coal come plastics for dress buttons,
ornaments, shoe heels. Nylons (when you can
get 'em) are made of coal, air and water!,
"Accessories to match" also owe much to
coal; colors fqr lipsticks and nail polish; the
scents for perfumes ; plastics for costume jew-
elry, handbag frames, compacts altogether,
more than 200,000 useful products depend on
coal--and many of them are used to glorify
American women.

THE GIMJI SHIMBUN
A solitary plane appears overhead, wheels
slowly, disgorges a shower of needle-like
bombs 'and slowly disappears into the
cloudless blue.:
Down below- perhaps in some steaming
jungle, twenty'-thousand pairs of Japanese
eyes spot the plane and follow the falling
bombs. Half-way down each bomb bursts
open, exploded by an intricate timing device
into a snowstorm of 15,000 to 50.000 freshly,
printed newspapers. The latest edition ot
Gimji Shimbun is being, delivered! I
The Gimji Shimbun is only orie of many
Japanese language newspapers distributed
regularly to the Japs by our psychological


warfare division. The Parachute News, which
is dropped over enemy-held parts )f the Phil-
ippines, is another. One newspaper goes into
Burma, one is dropped on China, and one is
even flown to the Japanese homeland.
Made up to look like a typical Nipponese
newspaper, and complete with pictures, comfc
strips, editorials and the latest war news,
these newspapers are proving immensely ef-
fective in fighting Japan.
At the beginning of the Burma campaign,
for example, only one in 115 Japa surrendered
the others preferred to fight and die. Yet
after our flyers initiated their "newspaper"
bombardment, one among every 20 Japs be-
gan to lay down their arms.
The army soon discovered that Japs who
surrendered also "talked," giving military in-
formation that saved untold American lives.
All through the Pacific an increasing num-
ber of Japs are beginning to surrender. And
millions of copies of the Gimji Shimbun, the
Parachute News or one of the other newspa-
pers are helping them make up their minds.

HOW SHALL WE CUT OUR TIMBER?
At war's end, the South"s forest resource
will be at a dangerous new low. Timberland
owners will be at the crossroads of widely di-
vergent courses. One road leads to conserva-
tion and increased timber growth. The other
way heads toward continued devastation and
final ruin.
Along the conservation route there lie pros-
perity, jobs and ample wood resotirce. Inade-
quate timber supplies, unemployment, and
poverty stalk the other path. Port St. Joe de-
pends for its income primarily on forest pro-
ducts. It is up to the people here to see that
our resources are not wasted.
For generations timber products have held
a foremost place in the South's economy, pro-
viding a livelihood for hundreds of thousands
of our citizens. When war came, the forests
of the South provided a. substantial part of
the material required for national defense, as
witness the thousands of tons of paper and
pullp put out for war use by the St. Joe Pa-
per Company and the hundreds of thousands
of feet of lumber turned out by the St. Joe
Lumber & Export Company for government
use.
Never before has the average citizen been
so fully aware of the vital importance of our
forest resources.
I With nearly 200.000,000 acres of potentially
productive forest land, the South has a re-
source capable of supporting its present tim-
ber industries. But these industries cannot be
maintained unless our forest lands are kept
growing timber ,at something like their full
growing capacity. Even fast-growing south-
ern forests will cease to produce if cut too
heavily, burned too often.
Too much cutting in the past has been done
without regard for the future. The best trees
have been cut out, the poorer species left
to take over the land. Too often nothing has
been left to grow or furnish seed for a new
crop. Too many immature stands have been
cut when they were in their fastest growth.
F- r too many fires have swept away the
young growth that is the promise of future
timber stands.
There is a better way to handle our tim-
ber lands. Intelligent cutting can take out
the old, the overmature, the slow-growing
and the defective trees. The younger, more
vigorous trees can be left to take on more
growth. Young trees can be thinned instead
of slaughtered, leaving a well-spaced stand
to grow more rapidly. Fires can be kept out.
Always, the forest can be kept growing.
Will we have a thriving forest industry in
Gulf county 20 years from now? It all de-
pends on how we treat our woodlands in the
coming years.

Everybody, including the editor of The
SStar, pokes fun at marriage, but the truth of
the matter is that if it wasn't for marriage
a lot of writers would starve to death.


THE SOUTH AT THE CROSSROADS


STARDUST and

.MOONSHINE

Thete seems to be quite a. dither
over the fact that there are no
"suitable" war songs for our sol-
diers of 'today to sing Back
in '17 and '18 there was. similar
concern. Seems a lot of folks de-
sired us doughboys to march, along
singing songs of high aspiration
and deep sentiment, or noble de-
termination. That's a laugh.
Marching soldiers sing what they
feel like singing and what they
sing usually pains the: ears of 'the
song writers andshb.cks-thP sen-
sibilities of the moralists. It
was anmsing to me when I got
back from France in 1919 to find
that the 'fplks at home had im-
agined us regaling the French
peasants with "Over There," or'
sitting around in. circles singing
"Keep the Home Fires Burning.'
"Annie Laur.ie" and "Home, Sweet
Home." Drizzle, mud, cooties
and- sour wine hardly inspire ro-
bust singing. What was sung?
Well, "Lil' Liza Jane" marched a
heap of weary miles, but two
French gals passed her like sthe
was standing still. "Madelon" ana
"Mademoiselle from Armentieres.'"
. The Mademoiselle made Mad-
elon, appear like a shrinking violet.
