Good news to motorists' came
Wednesday with announcement by
OtPA that gasoline rationing had
been lifted and that motorists now
could drive all they pleased -. if
their tires held up,. for rationing
of tires is not expected to be done
away with for several months yet.
Local service stations were not
open for business Wednesday, but
they reported, that yesterday morn-
Ing large numbers of motorists
pulled up to the pumps, leaned
out and said expansively "Fill 'eP
up." Many of the drivers, said they,
had the tanks filled to the brim
just .for the satisfaction of It, that
they weren't going any place in
particular.
The OPA order removing from
rationing all, blue point foods was
a happy surprise to housewives,
who have been struggling along
trying to make their points stretch
over the ration periods. Many of
them rushed, to local grocery
stores yesterday in hopes of find-
ing canned fruits, but there has'
been very little of it on store
shelves for some time. Biggest
sale item seems to have been
bottled grapejuice.

Air of Thankfulness That Conflict Is. Over Pervades
Town; Many Offer Up Prayers for Speedy Return
of Our Men and Women In the Armed Services


As word came over the radio at 6 o'clock Tuesday night an-
nouncing the unconditional surrender of Japan, the people of
Port St. Joe, while feeling jubilant and elated over the matter,
remained calm, and no wild demonstrations were staged. True,
two or three cars raced down the main streets with horns
blowing, but outside of that there was little to break the al-
most sabbatical calm of the afternoon.
Small groups gathered on the streets, joyously shook hands
and talked over calmly what was probably one of the greatest
events of history to occur during their lifetime. Bar rooms
closed their doors immediately as the fire siren sounded the
glad tidings, and remained closed: until Thursday morning,
The churches of the city were thrown open to the public, and
many gathered tooffer up prayers of thanksgiving that the
war had ended and that soon our men and women in the armed
services would be coming home. Prayers too were offered for

Our Country Right or Wrong


ON SECOND THOUGHT .

The strange sense of unreality that came
with the announcement of the atomic bomb-
ing of two Japanese cities has passed. At
that time it seemed as if the funnypapers had
opened up, and that all of its weird fantasies
had suddenly come to life.
Today, after sober reflection, we know that
Flash Gordon and Superman are right back
in the funnies where they belong, and most of
us are back again in this world, facing the
same old realities that we have come to know
so well. .,
No one in his right mind can deny the im-
pprtance of the atom bomb. No one can doubt
the achievement of those scientists who have
succeeded in harnessing atomic energy. Nor
is there any doubt as to .the enormous pros-
pect that has. been opened up to future peace-
time generations at a result of their work,
though we of today may realize little benefit
from it due to the fact that there still re-
mains to be combatted the lethal threat of
secondary radiation.

The way we look at it, the world is. not
yet ready for atomic power. It might mean,
in the hands of .some, Utopia and in the
hands of the unscrupulous either the enslave-
ment of the human race for the benefit of a
select few, or, should another war ensue, the
entire elimination of civilization as we know
it today and the sterilization of vast stretches
of the earth where nothing could grow and no
person could live.
For good or for worse, now that we have
it, atomic power apparently is here to stay,
and it is in the hands of the gods. Let us hope
that it will be used for the benefit of the
human race and not for its elimination.


Well, it has come at last. According to the
papers, Detroit men are forced to wear ladies'
panties. For years the ladies have been wear-
ing men's shorts, shirts and pants. Maybe
pretty soon, we'll all be hearing of divorce
decrees being granted because hubby just
wouldn't leave his wife's panties alone.-The

A Salute to the Victors. Yes, every Ameri-

can, has contributed in some degree in this final

step of our Victory over the Axis nations. But

the greatest share of the glory must be accorded

the men and women on the fighting fronts and the

men and women on the production front, and to

the workers and buyers of bonds on the home front.

Every last one had a part in the Victory.

Americans, we salute you!

America has become air con-
scious. Under the impetus of war,
aviation has advanced further than
it might in several decades in nor-
mal times. Realizing this, town of-
ficials and civic minded citizens
everywhere wonder just how and
where, their communities will fit in
the postwar air picture.
First necessary step, it is general-
ly understood, is to provide facili-

ties so that planes can land and
take-off, be maintained and re-
paired. But airports are known to
be costly to build and operate. Me-
dium-sized and' small communities
feel that such installations are be-
yond their reach.
If the term "airport" is used in
its usual significance as,a terminus
for commercial airlines this may
well be true. It is because "airport"




---3






"


is too general a term and does not
allow for distinctions as to size and
type of landing facility, that it has
now become necessary to provide
other designations.
Thus the Personal Aircraft Coun-
cil of the Aircraft Industries Asso-
ciation of America has suggested
that facilities suitable for small com-
munities, 6r for neighborhood land-
ing areas in large cities be called
airparks. Intermediate landing
places between cities, probably
spaced at intervals where distances
are great, are to be termed flight-
stops. Towns or communities that
have adjacent bays, rivers or lakes
upon which' aerial watercraft or am-
phibian planes could land, may be
interested in establishing air harbors.
Showing that towns may easily be
linked to world airways and pointing
out that "the airplane has come to
Main Street," the Council has' pre-
pared an illustrated booklet entitled
"Put Your Town on the Air Map,"
for free distribution to community
officials and planning groups.
It explains why the community
which has no provisions to accom-
modate personal aircraft will be
passed by in the air age. Whereas
rails, roads and docks have built
successful communities in the past,
landing facilities for private planes
as well as for feeder or area type
transport planes will pace the
growth of communities in the future.
In the plans and diagrams includ-
ed it is emphasized that no commu-
nity is too small for an airpark or
similar landing facility; that the size
and cost can be regulated according
to the needs of the community or
its potentialities; and that airparks
eventually may pay their way, both
directly and indirectly.
This is the third of a series of articles
on post-war flying and its effect on
community, life. The next article,
"The Aviation Committee" will ap-
pear in an early issue.

State Has Great

Possibilities In.

Ramie Growing

Plant May Revolutionize Textile
Industry When Quantity Pro-
ductior Ils Reached

By RUSSELL KAY
For over ten years the writer
has been pointing, out the enormous
agricultural and commercial possi-
bilities offered, in the development
of ramie in Florida.
It is gratifying to note that the
Research Department of the Fed-
eral Reserve Bank of Atlanta re-
cently took cognizance of these
opportunities and published in its
)monthly review one of the most
complete and comprehensive ar-
ticles on the subject that I have
yet seen.,
It points out that at the present
time 1600 acres have been planted
In this state and, 10,000 acres have
been set aside for additional plant-
Ing.
Ramie is a fiber-producing p'ant
that promises to revolutionize the
textile industry when quantity pro-
adction is reached. It is truly a
wonder fiber. /Its. tensile strength
is four times that of hemp and
nearly eight times that of silk. Its
unusual strength and toughness
make it the most durable fiber
Available today and fabrics made
frof it wear like iron. In tests ra-
mie fabric was, laundered 150
times, creased and recreatediin the
same place hundreds of times and
yet when examined through a mi-
croscope, showed, no breakage of
fibers or anyi evidence of wear.
Another amazing quality of ramie
is it's behavior in water. It is mo'i
absorbent than cotton and instead
'of losing strength when. wet ac-
thally becomes from 30 to 60 per
cent stronger.' It dries more rapidly
than either flax or cotton abd Is
highly resistant to rot and mildew.
When thoroughly cleaned the fi'oei
is pure white without bleaching
and possesses a silklike luster and
texture. It dies beautifully and can
be spun, woven or knit on standard
textile machinery.
The uses for this fiber seem to
be almost limitless. It can be spun
,Into the sheerest gossamer-lixe
fabric or made into the coarsest
kind of cloth. It is far superior to
any other material for packing and
other maritime ua s e s. Halyards

State Has More Cash On
Hand Than Ever Before

iState Comptroller J. M. Lee re-
ported thing week that the state
has more money' on hand in the
various funds than ever',before in
her history and is in excellent fi-
nhacial condition.
Lee a'dvise-d citizens to keep a
watchful eye on the expenditures
of this money and called attention
to two appropriations in particular,
one fund of a half million dollars
for livestock and another of equal
amount earmarked for state ad-
vertising. He fears much of this
money will be wasted' unless care
is exercised in its disbursement.

MAJOR OIL COMPANIES
SET LINE ON WHICH OIL
MAY BE FOUND IN STATE

The major oil companies which
back their judgment by paying
cash money for leases and putting
out~ big sums for actual drilling be-
lieve that the best place to find
oil in' Florida is on an axis which
runs southeast and northwest from
a point south of Miami through
Lee, Collier, Hendry and Charlotte
counties and entering the Gulf at
Tampa Bay, extending across the
Gulf to Apalachicola, up through
Gulf county and north to Holmes
county.
'Greatest .interest is being taken
in the seven wells of the Humble
Oil Company in Collier county.
Humbel's No. 1 well, which got the
.state's $50,0.00 prize, for the first
producer in Florida, is pumping
about 20 barrels a day, Nos. 2 and
3 have 'been shut down, and No.
4, the best producer to date, is
producing 275 barrels of 19.2 .grav-
ity oil on pump (the oil has to be
separated from salt 'water). 'Three
other wells are being drilled in the
area, No. 7, which is two miles
north of No. 4, is now down about
3600 feet.
A well being sunk in Highlands
county (slightly off the axis line)
is down about 10,000 feet, but has
nbot yet shown any indications ot
black gold.
