Our Country Right or Wrong

THOSE NEW CARS
With the automotive industry getting back
into production as rapidly as possible, there
are all kinds of stories going around about
what the new models will be like.
Of course, the '45 and '46 models will be
similar to the 1942 cars, since manufacturers
don't want to take the time to retool for new
designs, but from what we can learn, when
they catch up a bit things really will be dif-
ferent.
It is claimed that some of the post-war
cars will have plexiglass tops so that you can
see in all directions except down, and as you
go skittering down the highway you will feel
exactly like a goldfish in a glass aquarium.
Then, too, there is talk of automatic jacks
for all wheels where, when you have a flat,
all you have to do is press a button and the
wheel .is jacked up; of 'course, should one of
these jacks accidentally let down while you
are driving it might throw the car into a tail-
spin, but anyway, look at all the hard labor
you'll save *in changing tires.
Some cars will be equipped with air condi-
tioning; others will have walkie-talkie .sets
so tJhat a wife can call up her husband w1hei
he's on the way home from the office and tell
him to go back downtown and get a quarter's
worth of (log biscuits for the pooch. Built-
in refrigerators in connection with air-condi-
tioning units working from hot exhaust gases
are also contemplated, and tops that roll into
the rear are promised. Engines in the rear,
upholstery that will wash and tires that will
run 50,000 miles are also in the cards'.
These are only a few of the marvels being
flaunted before the goggling eyes of would-be
*car purchasers, and from all this it would ap-
pear that the only thing lacking will be a
combination convertible bathtub and toilet.


HARD FACTS AND SOFT THINKING
Soft thinking may be able to gloss over
some unpleasant situations for a. time, but
always, in the end, it's the hard facts of re-
ality that mankind has to tace. President Tru-
man realized this when, in those first jubilant
moments following his announcement of Jap-
anese surrender, he said:
"We are faced with -the greatest task we
have ever faced. The emergency today is as
great as it was on December 7."
The victory celebration is all over. The
cold grey "morning after" facts are that we
face the greatest economic crisis in our his-
tory. Unemployment is mounting. It may
reach 5,000,000 by the end of September. A
reservoir of 8,000,000 unemployed has been
predicted for next spring.
Of course, it takes time for industry to re-
convert from war back to peacetime opera-
tions. When new products finally start to
roll off great assembly lines it will make a
difference. And when industry gets going
"full blast," the unemployment problem is
bound to shrink to nothingness.
An important danger in the months aheac
rests in the fact that industry will not pro-
duce any more of its products than can be
distributed. And there may be a serious short-
age of paper and paperboard for boxes, car-
tons, wadding, packaging and wrapping, with-
out which there can be no adequate distribu-
tion. In fact, estimated paper requirements
call for more pulpwood than has ever been
produced in this nation in any single peace-
time year.
Failure to produce this pulpwood could
make our paper supply the bottleneckc" of
re-employment.
In a real sense it may be said that our na-
tion's economic future depends in large part
upon this and other pulpwood producing
areas. If the St. Joe Paper Company mill is
kept well-supplied with pulpwood, we will see
no lack of employment here in Port St. Joe
and the mill, if kept running at top speed as
it has been, will be doing a- large part toward
relieving the paper shortage.

"PULPWOOD is a business with a

great peacetime future. The pulp andI
paper industry hasn't any re-conver-


sion problem. It can start in today pro-,

ducing the things all the civilians and
returning service men are hungry for.
"And before we even get caught up

on the back-log orders, the new uses
that have developed during the war will
be calling for more and more pulpwood)
"Your job is just as sure as any job

could be, and if you have any friends
getting out of 'the service or out of war
plants, tell them there are plenty of jobs

in pulpwood- healthy, outdoor jobs with
good pay and as much security as you'


" can expect anywhere".
