Men Still In

,Service Can

Join Legion

Parents Urged to Pay Dues For
Sons and Daughters Still
In Armed Forces

With a membership drive now
underway by Willis V. Rowan Post
116, American Legion, 'with em-
phasis :being placed on the signing
up of World. War II veterans, it is
announced that men and womept
still serving in the armed forces
became eligible for membership in
the organization from the time the
Japanese government signed the
surrender tenmn.
Parents of servicemen and wo-
men, whether Legionnaires, or not,
are urged to present their sons
and daughters with -paid-up Ameri-
can Legion memberships in the lo-
cal post.
"Most fathers already belonging
'to the Legion are keenly inter-
ested, in bringing their sons Into
the American Legion," sadd Com-
mander 'T. M. Schneider. "They
haven't been able to do anything
about enrolling them 'before this
because their .sons were not elt-
gible until honorable discharge.
The picture 'is changed now, ane
their sons in service are now eIt-
gible for immediate enrollment. A
paid-up Legion ,membership cardO
should be a valued present from
father to son."
Fathers- who are not themselves
eligible for membership in the Le-
gion may desire to have their sons
or daughters in service affiliate
themselves' with the' organization.
They may secure paid-up Legion
membership cards and send them
to their sons and, daughters.

A bright future is in store 'Sor
the pulpwood industry in the
peacetime years ahead, according
to conclusions reacted in an in-
dus'try survejr just released to The
Star from the pulpwood campaign
headquarters in New York.
"The war has served to increase
present-day civilization's dependr-
ence on paper and other pulpwooda
products," the survey points, out,
"and the industry hopes 'to keep its
warlborn outlets as, well as adding
new uses and' new customers."
Among the reasons advanced in
support of the' view that pulpwood.
products may expect a continually
expanding market in the years
ahead' are:
1. Retailers' have a tremendous
amount of catching up to deo on
their supplies of paper 'bags as

Our Country Right or Wrong


JOBS!
All of us believe in the future of America
We believe that the present uncertainty is
only a temporary period between war pros-
perity and an era of peacetime plenty.
But believing is not enough. That, alone, is
not. the answer to unemployment and the
other hazards of reconversion through which
we are passing. Tht only solution for unem-
ployment is-jobs.'
We, in Port St. Joe and Gulf county, are
fortunate. Of course, the national situation is
bond to have some influence on each state
and county of the nation, but by and large we
have no reconversion problems here. Our
farms and forests are producing commodities
as necessary to the well-being of the country
and as urgently needed now as during the
crucial years of war. A job is waiting for most
anyone .who wishes to work.
Of course, working on a farm or cutting
pulpwood in the forests does not pay the
swollen wages obtainable from some of the
big city war industries before V-J Day. But
living and working here does not cut wide
gaps into a pay check either, with everything
from rent to recreation at inflated prices,. In
fact, taking all things into consideration, it is
possible to live better and save more at cur-
rent wages in Gulf county than could be done
with considerably higher big city wages.
Nor 'are current wages low. Current pay
for pulpwood cutters and haulers and other
workers in forest industries are higher than
they have ever been.
If anybody wants good living, doing invig-
orating and healthy work at good wages, with
plenty of time to enjoy our superb fishing,
he can find it in cutting urgently needed top
quality pulpwood for the St. Joe Paper Com-
pany mill
There is no reconversion problem in Gulf
county, for which we should all be duly thank-
ful.

The long-cold-winter prognosticators are
already beginning to do their stuff.'


The Low Down

Editor The I jest bin reading' about this Bev-
eridge guy in England-the ducK
who is preachin' security and' com-
fort at govt. 'expense, and without
worry or sweat. Everybuddy must
'be hap.py. And if the .gent should
iput over his deal, he, hisself,
would hbe in the top spot-and need
to perspire, least.
In his scheme the govt. would
own the means of production-the
stores and factories. The people
would ibeinemployes only. The govt.
would fix wages. Everybuddy then
could quit thin.kin', and sit down
with, nothing' to stew about, and
wait for the undlertaker. And that's
supposed to make people happy.
But here in our land, o' the, free
we shouldn't guffaw too loud we
do funny stunts too.
But, this here ,Mr. 'Beveridge-'


WE NEED AN AIRPORT
With other cities of the state already de-
veloping or planning airports, Port St. Joe ap-
parently is going to be one of the-few back-
ward communities which will not be able to
accommodate and take advantage of the forth-
coming air commerce which will develop now
that the world is once more at peace.
There are now two bills before congress to
provide federal aid in construction of airports
throughout the nation. One of the bills pro-
vides that the acquisition of the land costs
may be allowed on the sponsors' part of the
costs of building the airport, and further
changes may be made in the bill before its
passage, which is expected in the near future.
Due to the important part aviation has al-
ready played in the development of Florida
and the fact that the future growth of the
state will be greatly affected by this prac-
tically new method of travel, every citizen in
'the state is vitally interested in the construc-
tion of sufficient landing fields and airports
throughout the state to accommodate the
traveling public. In addition, Port St. Joe is
ideally situated for air commerce with South
and Central America, as shippers could elimi-
nate the long rail haul down the peninsula to
iMiami or Tampa.
It will probably be several years before we
need more than a two-runway landing field,
but right now we should have at least a land-
ing strip of sufficient length to accommodate
the average private plane before the end of
next' summer.


BOVINE BREAK?
"There may be 'flies on some of youse guys
but there, ain't no flies on us."
If residents of Hendry county should hear
their range cattle lustily bellowing this nos-
talgic ditty they can set it down to the fact
that experiments now being conducted by
entomologists in the vicinity in the use of
DDT to rid cattle of flies and other annoying
insects are proving successful.
Actually, scientists in 'question believe that
the treatment to which some 4000 cows now
are being subjected, should rid them of all
forms of parasites flies included for up-
wards of several months.
Should this indeed turn out to be the case,
the cows should become healthier, heftier
and lhappier--or, to put it another way, they
should produce more and better meat and
milk.
In other words, if the DDT treatment does
the trick, we can mark this week down as
incepting a new bovine era which will be dts-
tinguished by its preponderance of "con-
tented cows."--Miami Post.


It is said that animals live longer in cap-
tivity than when running wild. Insurance
statistics show that married men live longer
than bachelors. You comment on it, we haven't
the heart.


he would even say on which cor-
ner there'd 'be a grocery store.
And grocery stores bein' my weak-
ness. I speak up. Ennybuddy ever
starting' talk about a Beveridge-
style store for my neck o' the
wood's is gonna lose some o'f his
tail feathers.

County Agent Urges

Home Garden Plots

C. R. Laird, new county agent,
dropped in at The Star office
Tuesday for a chat with the editor
and brought up the matter of ever
family having their own garden
plot.
"With the coming of fall weather
everyone should begin preparation
for Teal gardens," said Mr. Laird,
"planning what to grow, fertilizer,
acquiring land, seeds, etc. I want
to urge, every family in Gulf
county that has or can possibly
secure a garden plot of land to do
so and grow a fall garden. This
can make available in sufficient
quantities vegetables to help out
during time of'short supply, and a
home garden inay very advantag-
eously supplement the. food for the
table.

POST-WAR FLYING II
By C. C. CAMPBELL,
Locating an Airpark
Is our town large enough to sup-
port an airpark; What size facility
should we consider? How do we go
about selecting a site financing
the proposition?-
These are some of the urgent ques-
tions pouring into the offices of avi-
ation authorities. Each must be an-
swered separately in accordance
with the peculiar needs of the in-
dividual community.
But some generalizations can be
made to serve as a basis for prelim-
inary consideration by a community
landing facility committee. Size of
the community may not be as im-

Location is one of the most im-
portant features. It must be con-
venient to the business or residential
section it is to serve. Folks will ob-
ject to making long surface trips
to and from the airpark. Situation
close to a major. highway will elim-
inate the expense of developing long
access roads. On the other hand,
it must not be too close to heavy
surface traffic, high buildings, radio
masts, or chimneys which might of-
fer safety hazards.
Adequate size is determined by the
length of the runways.' It can be
as little as 80 acres if properly
laid out in the shape of an L, T or
X. This would serve the personal


SUBURBAN AIRPARK-Acrial photograph of a city of 5,000 popula-
tion showing how the airpark should be placed well within the central
area of the community. The airpark pictured above will give ready
access and egress to visitors, including businessmen, relatives and cross


country travelers.
portant as the class of people who
live in it. If they are progressive,
they will want an airpark whether
the community be small or large.
Aviation leaders such as members
of the Personal Aircraft Council,
Aircraft Industries Association of
America, believe that every com-
munity (there are 16,752 in the U. S.)
should have at least one landing
facility. Present and immediate fu-
ture needs will determine the size of
the facility, with ample room for
expansion through additional air-
parks as the need grows in later
years.
Selecting the site for the airpark
may cause some trouble. Realty
companies or land owners might be
inclined to sacrifice public interest
to a desire to unload unprofitable
land. With the cooperation of the
community, however, this can be
avoided. It is usually a good policy,
authorities believe, for several sites
to be chosen at first. Then the ad-
vantages and disadvantages of each
can be weighed and compared.

with a good commercial fertilizer."i
Mr. Laird suggests the following
crops and the time to plant:
September, October and Novem-
ber-Beets, brussel sprouts, col-
lards, English peas, spinach, ruta-
bagas, rad-ishes,, turnilps. Irish po-
tatoes and strawberries.
From Septemrber to Decemier-


"I suggest that home gardeners Lettuce, onions and radishes.
choose the richest land available' "Gulf county should .produce satl-

flyer and also be suitable for char-
ter, taxi-plane or feeder airline op-
erations, using planes up to 8,000 to
10,000 pounds. There must be ade-
quate areas for parking aircraft,
as well as for sites for various serv-
ice buildings, as the need arises.
Before making a final decision, the
landing facility group in charge
should seek the advice of competent
authorities on such matters as air-
port design, approaches, amount of
grading needed, types of soils, and
accessibility to the usual facilities
such as water, electricity, sewers
and telephones.
Many sites lend themselves to
some kind of park or recreational
development such as picnic areas,
lakes, tennis courts, swimming
pools, and other facilities which in-
crease the usefulness of the airpark
to all residents of the community
and help provide additional income.
This Is the sixth of a series of arti-
cles on post-war flying and its effect
on community life. The next article
"Eldon's MoflI Airpark" will ap-
pear in an early issue.

with proper fertilization afdr choice
of land, this can be done."
He talked so convincingly that.
7our editor almost had' the urge-
"almost," we said-to clear, the
weeds off our back lot and immedi-
ately set out a radish and a col-
lard or two.
