PRELIMINARY MEET IS HELD
TO FORM BAND ASSOCIATION
LA meeting was held Tuesday
evening at the high school for the
purpose of organizing a Band Par-

At last Port St. Joe has a start
toward an airport. It isn't much-
just a cleared space out in the
sticks at the eastern city limits-
but it's a start in the right direc-
tion, and when the possibilities o-f
air travel are; discovered by our
local citizenry we feel, that it will
eventually develop into a fair air-
port.
The editor of The Star is going
to horn in for a little of the credit
for we've been whooping up the.
necessity for at least a landing
strip for the past six years; but
most of the credit goes to Capt.
Paul Metcalf, who is putting in a
flying, school and charter plane
service, and County Commissioner
Basil E. Kenney Jr.. who has been
taking flying lessons over at Pan-
ama City and who has purchased
a plane of his own and needs a
place to land it. /
ICapt. Metcalf will start his fly-
ing school on November '1, with
U. S. government licensed com-
mercial flight instructors, and will.
guarantee to learn anyone to fly
for a flat sum of $100, regardless

Our Country Right or Wrong

WAGES AND INFLATION
If there is one opinion generally accepted
as to post-war conditions, it is that rising
wages are a sure forerunner of inflation. If
there is one fact markedly outstanding in the
news it is that labor is determined to boost
wages.
But in the face of these facts it is also ap-
parent that there is in congress, and in other
prominent places, a clearly defined purpose to
undertake the experiment of boosting wages
without inflating prices. It seems that this is
to be done by compelling the productive and
distributive features, other than labor, to ab-
sorb the increased cost of labor.
In other words, labor is to receive an in-
creased portion of the consumer's dollar, at
the expense of capital, management, and
profits. In our system capital must earn in-
terest, including compensation. for risk in-
volved ; management must receive pay in pro-
portion to its merits, and promoters must re-
alize profits. The key-word in this series is
"profits." In tightening conditions, profits
first disappear, and when profits fail, the ma-
chine has no motive power and will stop.
What do figures say about this plan of
boosting wages and holding down prices? It
is generally considered by responsible econo-
mists that about 75 cents of the consumer's
dollar goes to labor, from the raw material
to the finished sale across the counter. To
make the figures easy to handle and give the
theory the benefit of the doubt, let us con-
sider labor's share of the consumer's dollar
as 70 cents.
Labor is now demanding an increase of 30
per cent in wages. This would increase labor's
share'by 21 cents, making his total 91 cents
out of the consumer's dollar. That would

Editor The. Star:
Now thet this here war is over

mebbe ferret out some answers

we're told like we bin used to

tion tinies comes along, millions
of employes-and! their relatives-
will have votes, which ain't hay,
as' votes go.

citizens go docile-as, you read In
history-and go kinda balmy be-
fore they blowup. France' took on

leave but 9 cents for risk, capital, manage-
ment, and profits.
If it is true that these latter interests are
now receiving 30 cents of each dollar for their
share, is it reasonable to expect that the same
service can be rendered for 9 cents? What
would become of profits? And what would
become of your motive power? What would
keep the machine running? It just can't be
done.
It may be said that limited inflation is
necessary. There are reasons for that theory.
If we are to approve them, we might boost
wages and allow prices to rise. Then there
may be a "nigger" in labor's woodpile. Union
labor might be given a 30 per cent boost, and
other labor kept at or a little below the pres-
ent scale. There is about one union laborer
to every nine non-union workers. It is not
hard to see that the nine might lose enough
to make up the gain of the one and leave la-
bor's share of the consumer's dollar just
where it is-70 cents-and capital, manage-
ment, and profit with their 30 cents. But
would such a condition be sound ? Would it
be fair and just? Would it last long?. We
think not. There is another "think" coming.
-Holmes County Advertiser.


THE ROAD TO RUIN
The new and better life we are all prom-
ised in our postwar world may be costly en-
tertainment. The plan to pay $25 maximum
unemployment benefits for 26 weeks might
better be called the "National Vacation Meas-
ure." What would happen at the end of 26
weeks when the vacation was over? Would
there be a new bill for the next year, on the
theory that unless it was passed there would
then be unemployment? Naturally, tihe
higher the benefits and the longer the period
each year for which they are paid, the more
difficult it will be to recruit help. Busines-
concerns find workers unwilling to accept
work, even when thousands are being laid off
from war industries. Farm help is almost im-
possible to get at any price the farmer can
pay, to raise food to sell at a figure demanded
by the government.
Sooner or later we are all going to have to
get down to earth and work and save, or we
will starve. All the hot air to the contrary,
government can't take money away from tne
people in taxes to furnish the handouts nocw
proposed. Legalized loafing on the govern-
ment payroll will break any nation ultimately,

Now that daylight saving has come to an
end, perhaps some statistician can tell us
just how much daylight we saved.

it represents his years of training, expe-

SCHOOL NEWS
By WESLEY RAMSEY

The seniors initiated the fresh-
men this week, which induced
many hilarious incidents. Require,
ments were that the girls must
wear their skirts upside down and
their blouses backward, use no
makeup, put their hair up in many
pigtails; the boys were, required to
wear short pants wrongside out,
shirts backward, go barefoot, and
be 'heavily made up with lipsticx
and powder. All hbad to bow before
seniors upon meeting and say: "My
wonderful, wonderful senior, my
life I give to thee; I'll always
adore you, my wonderful, wonder-
ful' senior." Those failing to do
this must pay a penalty in chapel.
We shall have details of this next
week.
The 4-H Club met Monday with
Miss Wilma Alsobrook as, leader
andt elected the following officers
for the coming year: Geraldine
Parker, president; Doris Thursby,
vice-president; Sara Brinson, sec-
retary-treasurer; Wilma Wooden,
parliamentarian.. The next meeting
will be held at the school house
on November 4.
Some of them pictures for the an-
nual will be taken Monday, Tues-
day- and, Wednesday. Sales are
coming along fine andi anyone de-
siring to purchase an annual are,
asked, to seie Miss. Elkins, senior
class sponsor, or Eloise Scheffer.
The Sharks have about deter-
mined to win a.ll the football tilts
now, as Maurice Maige is making
movies of all the games, whicne
