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.

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.

Lewis pointed out that 't h e
amendment itself was okeh, but
that it did. not go far enough -in
that it did not amend two other
sections of the present city charter
which provide (1) "The affirma-
tive vote of two members shall be
necessary to adopt any ordinance
or res-olution." and (2) ". .reg-
ular municipal elections shall be
held annually on the third Tues-
day in February."
Attorney Lewis, in reference to
the first section of the charter rIe-
Terred to above, points out that un-
less this is amended any ordin-
ance or resolution may be passed
by the affirmative vote of but two
membe-rs of a f'i-e.'. ,, 'nomni'm-
sion. even though the other three-
are opposed to the passage of any
such ordinance or resolution. Ann
in regard to the other section re-
ferred to, he states that the pres-
ent charter calls for an election of
city commissioners annually. but

Our Country Right or Wrong


THE HARVEST

Theoretically, government can control the
cost of living by setting prices. 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.

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.

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.
