CHECK SOON WILL BE
MADE ON USE STAMPS

We understand that a check is
soon to be made on motorists idriv-
ing without the federal use stamp
.on the wiin!d'hield of their car. So
if you are driving today without
one of these stamps., better hustle,
d..-wn to tihe postoffice right now
and plank down five bucks, for
you are a tax delinquent in the
eyvs of Un'cle Sam and so eligible
for prosecution.
Sure, it's a nuisance tax. and
never should have been enacted in
the first place. But its here, and
probably will remain for the dura-_
tion of the war.
So, brother, you might as well
accept the fact Athat you're stuck

Reapportionment

of Florida May Go

To High Tribunal


Legislature Apparently Is No
Nearer Solution After Six
Weeks of Debate

T'he deadlock over senatorial re-
apportionment in Florida continues
at Tallahassee after six weeks of
battle in the legislative halls, and
two Tampa, lawyers believe that
major legal questions of the dis-
pute could be taken to court un-
der the speedy 1943 declaratory
judgment act, and a supreme court
ruling could be obtained by No-
vember. They suggested a recess
of the legislaturee pending the final
court decision if the South Florida
block decides to litigate.
North Florida senators express
belief that compromise is closer
than any time np to now, but' Sen-
ator Beacham of West Palm Beach
'old his southern colleagues that
"we seem to be just as far from
reapportionment as we were the
first day."
It is the belief of the two Tampa
lawyers that the declaratory judg-
ment statute could be used to get
an opinion from the Leon county
circuit court, and, later, the su-
preme ceurt. on these points:
1. Whether the constitutional
provision calling f.i' ar vF.-.j. ion-
ment every 10_year ru'..-.. .:y
2. Whether the reapportionment
must be by legislative act, as South
Florida contends, or can be by the
North Florida method of constitu-
tional amendment.
3. Whether a constitutional ae.,
which merely rewrote into the law
the boundaries set up in 1925, is
-good for more 'than 10 years.
'4. If the 1935 act expires this
year. whether the district boun-
daries will stand.
5. If the boundaries are wiped
out, whether seats of senators sub-
;ect io election next year will have
to be filled by election from the
state at large.
One compromise plan to effect
i'fs own_ reapportionment was still
before the senate yesterday, being

posal p'cepTt that it would increase

O0w Country Right or Wrong

IS YOUR SELF-RESPECT WORTH
ANYTHING?
Are you willing to help win the war against
Japan? Naturally you will say "yes." But
apparently there are a lot of people in Gulf
county who .don't seem to give a hoot one
way or the other if the failure of this county
to meet its E bond quota in the Seventh War
Loan Drive, can be taken as a criterion.
There are two outstanding things those of
us who are privileged to remain at home can
do to aid our fighting forces. First, we can
work to the limit of our strength and ability,
without interruption; second, we can deny
ourselves luxuries in order to buy the wat
bonds necessary to give our fighting men
every ounce of equipment and food they need.
While our -sobts, brothers and husbands oT
Gulf county are facing death and foregoing
the pleasures of home and family life, every
mother's son of us should put every dollar
we can into financing this war, so that by the
sheer weight of the equipment we throw into
it we will bring it to a conclusion at the earlr-
est possible moment, thereby saving the. lives
of countless loved ones. '
'After all, this is our 'war; our boys are the
ones on the firing line ; our homes are the ones
being saved. How much would your life or
property be worth if the Japanese army and
navy had not been held at bay, and were not'
eventually demolished?
Don't think that in buying war bonds you,
are in some manner doing someone else a ta-
vor-you're the one who is really favored by
having an opportunity to buy them. Think
what it means to our boys at the front
to know that the necessary money is given
willingly to back them up.
There are going, to be more war loans in
the future, and we hope to see Gulf county
oversubscribe each one of them. All warloans
necessary to knock out the Japs must go over
the top with a bang. American bullets and
American money are the most discouraging
things they can face today. Why should we
hesitate about buying that extra bond or whly
should it be necessary to be "high pressured"
into buying bonds when the boy with a rifle
hits the beachheads without question, his
stomach drawn up in a tight knot by fear, not
knowing at what moment he may be blown
to bits or blinded or crippled for life and


The Low Down
from
Willis Swamp


Editor The Star:


then some of us quibble or hesitate about
loaning $25 or $100 to buy more supplies for
him.
There's only one answer if you wish to
keep your self-respect-and the editor of The
Star doesn't have to write it out for you.

ICE BOXES
Our nephew, S/Sgt. Charles W. Sheppard,
who is apparently on his way to the South
Pacific, writes us that he doesn't know where
he is heading, but if that we can find a book
with directions on how to build an ice box,
to please send it to him as he'll probably be
in need of one. Which reminds us that there
are many kinds of ice boxes .
There is the good old-fashioned kind, con-
sisting of a large chest divided into a zinc-
lined compartment at the top which holds ice,
and a partitioned lower section where food is
preserved.
Then there is the new-fangled electric or
gas variety, filled with all kinds of chromium

plating and enameled fixtures -. and the
theory is that this kind of ice box does just
as good a job as the others in keeping our
meat, milk and vegetables from spoiling.
There is a third kind of ice box, too. We
don't see much of this latter kind, but we
have it on good authority that it is more im- ,
portant than all the rest. It is made of pa-
per-kraft fiberboard paper, to be exact. It
consists of two boxes, one within the other.
These boxes are covered on both sides with
foil, and they are specially insulated with cot-
ton. A container holding 19 pounds of ice is
placed in the center box, and temperature-
ranging from 39 to 54 degrees are maintained
for more than 60 hours.
This ice box is different in another respect, j
too. It isn't made to hold food. It t
doesn't stand in the kitchen of any home. It c
is made to be stored in the hold of a fast-
flying plane ". and it contains blood!
Cool, clean, fresh blood is flown in'these s
ice boxes by ofr' army and navy fliers to out-
posts in the Pacific for transfusions into the t
veins of wounded fighting men who are too
near death-to react to ordinary plasma. The
number of lives that have been saved by this
ice box reaches into the thousands.
It is comforting to know that our army and
navy will go to these lengths to save the lives
of our American boys. It is -particularly satis-
fying to know that these ice boxes come from
pulpwood.
There must be real pride in the realization
'that top quality pulpwood, cut today in Gulf
-county andmade into, kraft paper by the St.
Joe. Paper Company, may be winging its way
overseas in the form of an unusual ice box,
bound on a mission of merGy tomorrow. .
And who cain tell, perhaps this ice box we de-
scribe here may be the means of saving the
life 'of our nephew who would like to know
how to construct one.


"Oh, dear," she said, "I've ,missed you so
much." Then she raised the revolver and
fired again.

roared the sergeant.
The recruits carried out some
kind of maneuver which left the
sergeant speechless. He looked, atI

returned-and no words' can de-
scribe 'the tone of it.
"All right-now take your part-

STARDUST and

We were talking to a recently-
discharged serviceman the other
day and he says, he's having, one
heck of a time becoming a civiilan

yardbird all over again. We sym-
pathized with him, knowing how
it is. Veterans' are sorta like tad-
poles-neither soldiers nor civil-
ians.

charge him a penny. He estimated
the job would have cost him In the
nei-ghlborhood of $50.
We notice a lot of gals aroundu
town, in order to keep cool these
hot days, are wearing practically
transparent dresses--more so if
they get in front of a strong light.
They're sure revealing the, wom-
inly form divine.

governorship. In, the 100 years
since 1845 only nine have been so
honored'.
These, 25 elected governors of
Florida, no matter their places of
birth, are worthy of study. Most
of them rose to the governorship
from the profession of law, but
some cane from the ranks of mer-
chants. bankers, farmers, teachers
and ministers. More than two-
fifths of them were veterans of the
Civil War, the Spanish-American
War, or the World War.
In political a .iliation four-fifths
)f the governors were Democrats.
Before the Reconstruction era only
the Whig, Thomas Brown, pre-
vented the Democratic party from
winning every election, and since
1876 every, governor ot Florida &ex-
cept Sidney J. Catts won as a
Democrat. Catts, the Baptist min-
ister from DeFuniak Springs, gain-
ed victory as a Prohibitionist afite
having almost won the nomination
in the Democratic primary.
The average age of these govtr-
nors on the day of their inaugura-
tion is approximately 48 years antd
