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.

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.

DOCUMENT
Your doctor's prescription is a valuable
document. More than a piece of paper
bearing queer words and odd characters,
it represents his years of training, expe-
rience and skill applied directly to your
individual case. As'such, the prescription
deserves the care and accuracy exercised
by our registered pharmacists and the
purity and uniformity of the prescription
chemicals and drugs we dispense.
