THE


Chairman Issues Last-Minute Plea
To Those Who Have Not
Yet Contributed

To date, $1.271.64 has been re-
ported in the Community War
Fund drive, with seven workers
who have not yet reported their
collections. Chairman Harry Mc-
Knight stated yesterday.
"Perhaps the one thing that
makes the job of' soliciting for any
worthy need so discouraging is the
fact that a few people make the
workers beg for the very small
contribution that they invariably
give," said. McKnight. "The gener-
ous gifts' are rarely begged for, al-
though it isn't the size that counts
-it is the spirit in which it is
given. We workers are citizens of
Port St. Joe, too. We see the need
for recreation foi- the young peo-
ple of our community, the same
as those others who give without
question. We hope that those to
whom we have to beg are good cit-
izens, also. We hope that they see
the need' as clearly as we do. We
know that they have children, too.
"This campaign will positively be
closed December first." he con-
cluded. "Those workers who have
had to call back and call back time

Victory Bond Drive
In County Lagging

tory Loan is $115,000, ot which $5b,-
000 is to be in Series E !bonds.
A report from state headquar-
ters received this week by The
Star shows that residents of Gulf
county have purchased E bonds to
the amount of $806-1 per cent of
the assigned, quota.
fGulf county has always oversub-
scribed the drives for funds in ttie
war effort, but unless some unex-'
pected spurt appears, the county
Phis time will not even meet half
its qqota.
Lack of interest in the drive
caused by the end of, the war prob-
ably is responsible for this. Peo-
ple should realize that this vic-
tory Bond drive is just as import-
ant in financing the closing of the
war as were the previous seven
drives' conducted during the pros-
ecution of the war.

Our Country Right or Wrong

NO TIME TO QUIT
When the battle is three-fourths won, it is
no time to quit. That may sound like a plati-
tude for, of course, no general and no soldier
ever thought of retreating on the road to vic-
tory. Even when the go):.'g is too'g-:, the soi-
dier keeps on, ever mindful that one step back-
wards means two hard steps to push forward
again.
The soldier knows. But what about us?
There has been a battle going on in our
own country for 41 years, a battle in which
each of us should be participating. It is a
battle against a disease-tuberculosis. The
soldiers in this battle are volunteers who have
"signed up" becaues they want to serve hu-
manity.
Forty-one years ago a group of these vol-
unteers, both laymen and physicians, formed
the National Tuberculosis Association for the
purpose of conquering a disease which at that
time was the first cause of death in this coun-
try. The mortality rate was 200 per 100,000
population.
Today the National Tuberculosis AssociaA-
tion has 2500 affiliated state and local associa-
tions, each with a well-planned campaign for
'attacking the enemy on hore .territory. The
campaign has so far met with a large 'degree
of success, for the death -rate. frdm tubercu-
losis has been cut 75 per cent. Still, TB today
kills -more people between the ages of 15 and
45 than any other disease.
The battle is three-fourths won, but victory
is not yet attained.' The forward march must
continue-and it will continue if we, you and
I, support the Gulf county committee of. the
Florida Tuberculosis and Health Association
which is directing the campaign here and
which opens next Monday. We can do this by
purchasing our full quota of Christmas (eals.
These seals furnish the ammunition for the
battle against tuberculosis. The sale of these
seals, is the sole support of the Gulf county
tuberculosis association, which is fighting for
your health and mine right now in Port bt.
Joe. When we buy and use Christmas Seals
we are saying: "You've done a good job so
far. Keep it up till final victory." -

WAR IS NOT PROSPERITY
Now is as good a time as any to debunk a
frequently heard argument that goes some-
thing like this: "Well, we had prosperity dur-
ing the war, didn't we? Why can't we have
peacetime prosperity, too?"
The answers to these questions are simple.
In the first place, wars are never periods of
prosperity-they only seem so because the
bulk of the costs of war 'is charged up to iu-
ture generations in the form of increasing
public debt, which is paid out of the taxes ot
tomorrow's citizens. Actually, wars are na-
tional calamities, and if any wartime prosper-
ity lasted long enough, it would end up by
ruining everyone.
And as for the second question: "Why can't
we have peacetime prosperity?" the answer
iis: We can, especially here in Port St. Joe. In
fact, that is what we are working for right
now. But in order to have peacetime prosper-
ity it must be built on a solid, lasting foun-
dation.
Real prosperity requires every citizen to do
his part in building it. Industry must provide
jobs at good wages, and workers must fill
those jobs so that articles can be manufac-
tured which can be bought by the money
earned by a fully employed people.
Right now, in other .parts of the nation,
there is unemployment in many industries oc-
cause those concerns are busy retooling their
plants from war to peace. But here in Port St.
Joe we have no reconversion problems. The
St. Joe Lumber & Export Company is going
right ahead turning out lumber for peacetime
use, and the St. Joe Paper Company is plan-
ning to expand its operations in the confident
belief that the American people will put their
shoulders to the wheel and start it rolling i,
the direction of genuine peacetime prosperity.


SSo this is the world at peace! In Argentind
Peron supporters and opponents battle. In
Java, natives rise against the Dutch. In Indo-
China, natives rise against the French. Terror-
ists are active in' a Jewish-Arabian contro-
versy in Palestine. Internal disputes, intefr
spersed with bombings and shootings, are
prevalent in Bulgaria and Poland. Venezuela,
is in revolt. Natives rise against the British
lion in India. Communists and nationals are
fighting it out in China. Peace! Hal!

Never trust a woman who tells you her
true age. A woman who gives away that se-
cret is likely to give away other secrets.-

Jumbled Rules On Coastal
y Canal To Be Straightene

Jumbled rules that now plagu
. skippers of craft which ply t'h
Gulf intracoastal canal soon ma
be straightened out by a congress
t sional.committee which is working
on legislation to standardize ri
a constructions on the inland water
t way which serves Port St. Joe. Th
committee is headed by Represei
tative Mansfield of Texas.
The measure prescribes in ld
tail the kind of lights vessels muns
carry, the sound signals, and ln
steering and sailing rules tha
shall be followed.
Commenting on the need fo
uniform navigation rules. Mansi
field said.: "The trouble is that tri
regulations now vary in different
sections, and a pilot has to con
tinually bear in mind welare he I
and the rules that apply in tha
vicinity. For example, craft goine
east on one section must whistle
fh'st on approaching another ship
while on still another stretch o
the canal the responsibility o
signaling first falls to the pilot go
ing west. Similarly, rules vary as
to the passing of vessels and as
to distances that must be- main
trainedd between ships."
The 1200-mile, waterway skirts
,along the coast from near the
mouth of the Rio Grande river on
the Texas-Mexican border, pas
New Orleans and on to Apalachee
Bay, below Tallahas'see. It has
minimum depth of 12 feet and a
minimum bottom width of 125 feet
Port St. Joe is connected with it
by a county-owned toll canal.

Crew of Costin Yacht
Is Abandoning Ship

We can't say for sure just how
seaworthy that yacht is. that C. G.
Costin bought in Jacksonville last
week and is bringing to Port St.
Joe via the inland waterway, for
there is the old saying that rats
abandon a sinking ship -- or per-
haps it is just plain mutiny.
Anyway, of the crew of seven on
the vessel as it left Jax, two have
deserted. Chauncy Costin, signed
on as a deckhand, left at Ft, Myers
and arrived home: Monday. C. G.
Jr., another deckhand, left the boat
at Stuart Sunday, stopped over In
Gainesvillle a day and got home
Tuesday night.
Remaining niAebers of the ves-
sel's doughty crew are. Skipper
Robert Tapper, First Mate Co-un.

Advises Citizens To Buy
Insurance Only From
State Licensed Concerns

J. Edwin Larson, state treasurer
and insurance commissioner, is
launching a campaign designed to
inform the citizens of Floridia re-
garding the risk they are assum-
ing in purchasing insurance from
companies which are not licensed
to, do business in Florida. The
commissioner points out mainly
that suit against non-admitted colm-
panies cannot be maintained in
the courts of Florida; that these
companies pay no tax in Florida,
and that many of the contracts is-
sued are very much limited in pro-
tection offered.
Larson said-, "These companies
operate through the mail and over
the radio and the only way to pro-
teact our people is through somo
publicity on the subject. I receive
a great many complaints about
these companies."
Larson- advises the citizens or
Florida to buy their insurance only
from companies which are duty
admitted and licensed in Florida,
and any information in this re-
spect will be gladly furnished by
him upon request.
