PAUL JOHNSON RUNS INTO RECRUITER AND HOME BOY Belem, Para, Brazil 18 July 1945 Dear Editor Bill-When a GI runs, into the man who. enlisteC7 him into the army, I figure that is news, so I had to let you in on it. While I was still in N1ples, I met the recruiting sergeant from Napier Fieldi, Dothan, who enlisted me in the Air Force back in '42. He said it was a surprise to him when he saw me, and. I can say it was the same to me. I never dreamed back in Octolber of 194:i, when I joined bhe. AAF, that 1 would ever again see the man who signed me up. Here is something else that might make news, too. I work In priorities adn traffic here at this Af'C base and' I see lots, of fel- lows coming through here on their way to the State's. So one delay Last week, who sfiiould I see but one of our St. Joe boys. He recog- nized me first and I had to think a bit before I could place him. It was Hildur Sorenson, and, he and I were in the llth grade together when Mr. Caw-thon was trying to pound Spanish into our heads. Now I am in a country where they speak Portuguese. It was good to see a boy from home down here and we talked aii the time he was here, which wao about an hour. I know you wilt see him when he gets there, and he will have plenty to talk about. He told me he now lives in Ap- alachicola. but he is going over to , see my mother one day and tell her that he, saw me. Keep up the good work there .at home. PAUL JOHNSON.

THE STAR The Home Newspaper of Northwest Florida's Future Industrii Center Official Newspaper of GufCut -- - VOLUME VIII PORT ST. JOE, FLORIDA FRIDAY, JULY 27, 1945 NUMBER 43 Reapportionment Measure Is Finally Passed By Solons Governor Signs Bill Into Law, Ending 53-Day Extra- ordinary Session The longest legislative session in the history of Florida ended Wednesday when Governor Millard Caldwell signed into law a reap- portionment measure which he termed as "perhaps the best pos- sible und-er the circumstances." Passage of the bill, which was- considered a victory for the South Florida solons, ended a 53-day ex- traordinary session which cost the state $27,649.70. or an average of $521.69 a day. The reapportionment bill moves -two d-istricts to the southern part of the state. It puts Madison and Taylor counties together and joins St. Lucie, Martin and Indian River counties. Suwannee. Hamilton ania Lafayette counties will be united into a district, with Levyi, Dixie and Gilchrist also grouped to- gether. Broward county will have a separate district, and Alachua will have its own senator. Also combined are Osceo'a and Okee- chobee. The break in the deadlock came when Senator Fraser of St. Augus- tine and Senator Carl Gray of Panama City lined up with the 38- district supporters and were fol- lowed later by Senators McArthur of Fernandina, Shands of Gaines- ville, and Perdime of Cedar Key. Senator Gray, however, oppose Fraser's 38-district measure annl went ba(ik with North Florida on final ro'l call on the bill, stating that his home county of Bay was not adequately taken care of un- der the proposal.

By various makeshifts, including subsidies to producers, it can be made to work for a while, but the ultimate result is inevitable-cost of produc- tion, including increased taxes and wages and a reasonable profit, must be recognized, or there will be no production. We are witness- ing that today in butter, ham, bacon, beef, etc. The fundamental reason .for the butter shortage is the price farmers are allowed for milk going into butter. Their returns on such milk are so low that they are forced to mar- ket the milk in other outlets in order to meet high production costs. So we might as well learn to get along with just a little butter and less. of other products where prices are set which are out of joint with the cost of production. An investigating committee was recently under investigation in congress. That must have been an eerie sensation, peering into another eye in the keyhole. Shrimp is a seafood that can be eaten dur- ing all seasons of the year. And we get some of the finest shrimp in the world right here in the vicinity of Port St. Joe. Keep smiling-and Buy Bonds! The Low Down from Willis Swamp Editor The Star: I jest run into a book-it is 210 ears old. Joe Miller's Jest Boo. I Its a antique-the original I meau -my copy, is a reprint and, only 41 years' old. It cost me 4 bucks plub 12 cents tax. And it is worth ;t. Now, when some radio jokesmith dishes up a raucous and, non-hunt- orous version of a joke, I jest look in my Joe Miller book and git the strait of it, and git the point, which, on the radio, you don't git, except mebbe it is once in a full moon. But about this here Joe Miller. He wuz something' like AEsop. Everyibuddy knows, I guess, that it was Babrius who writ down the fables, 'bout 200 years after ola man AEsoip told 'em. That was. In 600 B. C. And i was Mr. John Mottley who writ down the Joe Miller jests in 1739. Joe Miller was' English-lived, frum 1648 to 1738-and 'was probably the only Englishman who ever had a sense of, humor. You know, folks who are fed up on horror, murder, and her-other- husband, type books, might switch over to AEsop or Joe Miller, and improve the digestion. Yours with the low down, JO SERRA. _k We help ourselves only as we help others. INFLATION Four thousand years ago a hungry man started "inflation" when he bartered away his birthright for a mess of pottage. And Esau never lived that down. Likewise, if we Amer-. icans insist upon gratifying our desires, by trading our plentiful dollars for industry's scarce supplies of consumer goods we, like Esau, will barter away our birthright of eco- nomic stability in the postwar years -to come. Spending an extra dollar a day does not seem much. After all "it's only a dollar." But spending that extra dollar 300 days in the year aniounts to forty billion dollars for the coun- try-forty billion squandered-because there is not that much extra value available on meat blocks, garment racks or housing markets. The extra dollars spent buy inflation! To prevent this wanton dissipation of our surplus buying power we must channel its flow into reservoirs of credit, to conserve and augment its present value for future distri- bution when postwar industry can' produce ample consumer supplies. This is a private fight. It is personal to each one of us. It is a battle, the progress and outcome of which affect every American pocketbook today and the strength of our in- dividual and national economic structure in the tomorrows that will come. It is a conflict however, in which each one of us may arm himself with a ready and potent weapon et- fectively to destroy our common enemy-in- flation. That weapon is War Bonds. Each one of us, therefore, is urged to take an active part in fighting inflation. We can- not hope to win a complete victory over it unless we wage war against it every day In every week throughout the years by invest- ing every available surplus dollar in War Bonds.
