The court's refusal to recon- sider its earlier ruling in the case hatd the effect of conclusively knocking out 'the only two pro- visions of the 1943 statute that have been tested.

Committees Work In War Fund Drive Everyone Urged To Make Contri- butions As. So-on As Possible, As But 10 Days Remain Chairman Harry McKnight, in change of the National War Fund Drive in Gulf county, stated' yes- terday that more than 30 people are at work on the campaign in thilr Port St. Joe section, and that while it is yet too early to give an accurate report on contributions, more, than $250 has been turned in to date. The honor of making the first contribution goes to Mrs. Ellen Anderson of Oak Grove, who gave her check for $10 to Mrs. A. P. Wakefield. Last year Capt. and Mrs. Anderson were among the first to contribute to the fund. The advance gifts committee in the business district is headed by C. G.

It may be along any day now, depending only upon how soon the American people can get the wheels of peace- time industry rolling. Stores will be getting new merchandise, and most of us will be in for a pleasant shock when. we see the amazing and unusual new products that research has brought us. Here is a preview of just a few of the many surprises we may expect to find: Paper sheets and pillowcases. Packaging that will protect foodstuffs from mould. Livestock feeds of high protein content, distilled from wood. Top quality sugar, also from wood. Alcohol made from wood that isn't wood alcohol, but equal to the finest grain distilled product. Rayon cord for tires that will outlast cars and trucks. Furniture and flooring made out of lami- nated paper, having the tensile strength of aluminum. Surprised at those items? Well-you'll be even more surprised to learn that they're all made of pulpwood-yes, pulpwood grown right here in Gulf county. Port St. Joe and Gulf county has a double stake in this age of magic. Not only do we stand to benefit from'the jobs that pulpwood production affords, but also by cutting the pulpwood so. urgently needed we can make these products available sooner. WHO-O-OOSH!*!! !* How about jumping in the car this morn- ing and driving out to Los Angeles? We can be back in time for supper.! Fantastic! the average citizen will exclaim. And yet- British Fleet Air Arm Pilot Lt. Robert Morgan this week disclosed that he and as. sociates have developed a jet-propelled car which he hopes to drive at a speed of approxi- mately 520 miles an hour. Morgan plans to make his main trial run on a Chilean beach within the next year. The car will look like a bomb. It consists of a single giant wheel, 12 feet in diameter, cov- ered by a streamlined, pear-shaped body 23 feet long and 15 feet high. The lone wheei will revolve on oil bearings and Morgan will drive from a seat inside the wheel. Really, we're beginning to think that Buck Rogers is a piker.-The Miami Post. NO CONTROL There seems to be quite a demand to elimi- nate all rationing, especially the rationing of meat. There is also a demand to wipe out the OPA, take off the brakes and let busi- ness go wild, free and reckless. Rationing is not pleasant and price,control often works hardships on some merchants, but how much meat do you think would come into Sebring if they quit rationiing it?. Con- cerns nearest the packing plants would get the choice, and by the time it dribbled this far the cheapest white bacon would be all that was left. Prices would go so high that only the rich could afford ordinary medium cuts. Inflation would grow so fast that you couldn't load, enough money in your car to buy enough groceries for lunch. While the black markets are now taking the choicest merchandise, especially meat, there are still a few legitimate merchants left and they are able to get some merchandise that is much better than it would be if we take off the brakes entirely. Some people think the black mraket is something they have in New York or Europe, but a prominent citizen told us recently that there has not been a day since the war that he has not had a good big steak for dinner. Do you know anyone who had enough red points to eat steak every day? The same man also said: "The OPA should be wiped out now." A little more observance of the law and a little less cussing of the government would not hurt a bit at this time. We are facing an emergency now, just as great as we faced in December 1941. A different enemy, but one just as ruthless..-and tricky, and a lot more dangerous.-Highlands County News. WHERE ARE THE 'JOBLESS'? The great throbs of sympathy and tears of grief being exhibited in Washington by some of the politicians for the "jobless" are not fooling many people around here. It is cer- tain that the American taxpayer has intelli- gence to see the silliness of it all. In this area there is hardly a business or industry, that is not seriously handicapped and curtailed for lack, of labor. Strenuous ef- forts have been made and are being made in this community to secure painters, cooks, beauticians, printers and various types of other help without results. Common labor is just as difficult to find. Shall we then be taxed to pay a weekly wage to men who just prefer not to work? Is a man "unemployed" when he chooses not to work? When politicians scream about hunger and distress from unemployment and at the same- time employers are closing their busi- nesses for lack of labor, it is hard to find printable words to describe such perversion and quackery.-Delray Beach News. A Kansas paper notes: "Over 8000 unem- ployment claims were filed in Kansas last week, but it is still difficult to find anyone to do real work.", Another tough reconversion problem will be getting the women out of the war plants into the kitchen-or, from nuts to soup, as it were.-Cincinnati Enquirer, Even this early, the balmy Florida 'air is heavily laden with political talk. thefe with Otto Anderson. .
