NUMBER 3 Possible RFC Loan Looms for Water Softening Plant Federal Bureau Announces Availability of Cash Up To 100 Per Cent I A release received this week by The Star from the Atlanta office of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation states that RFC loans are now available to municipali- ties and other public agencies to aid in' finanTcing public construc- tion projects. Included, among a considerable' number of projects listed as eligible for RFC financing is con- struction or improvement of mu- unicipal water supply and distri- bution systems. For some time the city of Port St. Joe has Ihad plans drawn up for the installation of a water- softening plant and a number of attempts -have been made to se- cure financing for the project without avail. Right now is the time for our board of city commis- sioners to get busy and make the necessary arrangements for ain RFC loan for this .plant, for if there is one thing we really do need here it is something ISte that and if anyone differs, with us, all they have to do is ask any housewife .in Port St. Joe. 'The release stated that loans. will be of 'the type repayable from the earnings.of the proi 't that is financed, through the purchase of revenue bonds from municipall- ties. In this way, a water soften- ing plant for this city would pay for itself out of revenue collected and could be repaid over a period of from 25 to 30 years. Van Fleet Guest Speaker At Rotary Club Meeting. Ralph Van Fleet, recreational di- rector of Panama City, was guest speaker at the meeting of the Ro- tary Clulb last week. His subject was "Recreational Activities." Mr. Van Fleet 'told of the many mistakes that have been made by not thoroughly planning and" or- ganizing before recreational pro- grams were undertaken. He i'lus- trated the success of careful plan- ning by pointing to what has been accomplished at Panama City. Mr. Van Fleet is assisting the lo- cal recreational steering commit- tee with its organizing and plan- ning for a recreational program in Port St. Joe. Legion To Sponsor Willis V. Rowan Post 116, Amer- ican Legion, has contracted to bring back to this city the same carnival that played here last year under sponsorship of the post. The carnival will set up on the vacant lot behind the Port theater and consists of five modern rides and a midway with varied attrac- ions. Visitors From California Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Owens, Jr., of Chula Vista, Calif., are guests this week of Mr. and Mrs. W. S. Smith. They are en route to Chr- cago to attend the national Ameri- can Legion convention. PAGE TWO THE STAR, PORT ST. JOE, GULF COUNTY, FLORIDA FRIDAY, OCTOBER 19, 1945 THE STAR I Published Every Friday at Port St. Joe, Fla. by The Star Publishing Company W. S. SMITH, Editor Entered as second-class matter, December 10, 1987, at the 1',utofficie, Fort St. Joe, Fla., under Act of March 3, 1879.

The spoken r7ord is given scant attention; the printed word is thoughtfully weighed. The spoken word barely asserts; the printed word thoroughly convinces. The spoken word is lost; the printed word remains. Our Country Right or Wrong KEEPING PROSPERITY The editor of The Star is in receipt of a booklet entitled "Sell America Into Jobs," sent out by General Motors Corporation, and one of the paragraphs to strike our eye force- fully was this: "Somebody has to sell something if some- body else is going to keep on making it and so have money to hire other somebodies tt. help him make it, and thus-provide jobs." This reads like a practical digest of the complicated problems we have to solve in or- der to start the ball rolling toward full em- ployment and prosperity. If stores in Port St. Joe find it hard to get housewives to buy their canned goods, they aren't likely to be buying much in the way of canned goods from wholesalers, while the wholesalers will certainly have to cut down on the orders they place with canneries. Fur, thermore, the canneries won't be needing any fruits or vegetables, and even if the farmer has exceptional crops, he isn't going to need extra help to harvest his fruit or vegetables because he won't have much of a market for t.hcm andow. And when that happens we are in a depres- siaon. Fortunately, this nation came out of the war with. p-baebly the greatest pentup de- nmand for goods in its history, and according to the formula in the booklet ve have little reason to wurry. Let us hope that the rea- soning is sound. Pvt, and Mrs. L. E. Thursby and Son from Camp Bland'ing visited here over the week-end with Mr. and Mrs. C. Thursiby.
