Rigid Curb Is

Imposed On

New Building

Federal Government Takes Dras-
tic Steps To Spur Home Con-
struction for Veterans

The federal government Tuesday
put new force behind its drive to
achieve the goal of 2,700,000 ne.w
homes for veterans and to protect
prospective home-owners against
a'eal estate price speculation.
Effective at once, it imposed.
rigid curbs on virtually all new
construction to conserve building
materials for veterans housing, and
the order hit hard a number oft
business concerns and individuals
in Pbrt St. Joe who have been
working out plans for new build-
ings or extensive additions to pres-
ent structures. However, construc-
tion work already substantially
-under way will not be affected.
The curbs on virtually all new
construction not considered, essen-
tial to tlhe housing program were
imposed by the Civilian Produc-
tion Administration, and, hence-
forth, with certain exceptions, gov-
ernment permission will be re-
quired -to start any new construc-
tion or repairs. costing more than
$400 for private homes and farms'
and raging up to $15,000 for cer-
tai specified industries.
Exceptions are $1000 for hotels,
apartment houses and residential
buildings 'of' more 'than five fam:-
ilies; $1000 for churches, schools,
hospitals, public buildings and
charitable institutions; $1000 for
commercial or service establish-
ments smuch-as, offices, stores, ga
service stations and theaters;
$15,000 for factories, railroad build-
ings, lumber camps, commercial
airports, piers, research labora-
tories, motion picture sets and
utility structures. A $200 construc-
tion or repair limit is placed on
other buildings not previously
covered. *
A "job" is defined, as the entire
cost of construction and repair
work as estimated at the time it
begins. A repair project cannot be
'divided into two or more separate
"jobs" to circumvent the limit on
any category.
Exempt from the order are pub-
lic works projects, utilities and
certain private projects, mainten-
anice and repair work in indus-
tries, utilities and transportation
industries a nnd. such absolutely
necessary work as factory addi-
trions which would provide addi-
tional jobs and hasten reconver-
sion.


State Realizes Large
Sum From 'Land Sales

The state of Florida, which is
its own biggest landowner, sold
more than a million dollars worth
of its holdings to private indi-
viduals and 'firms last year.

Fire Destroys House At

St. Joe Forestry Station'

One of the three houses at the


St. Joe forestry station at White
City was compeltely destroyed by
fire late Thursday afternoon ot
last week. The dwelling was oc-
cupied, by J. H. Pope, who was In
the lookout tower at the time.
When Mr. Pope saw the smoke
he radioed to the two forestry ae-
partment trucks, which were out
in the woods, and! also radioed to
this city for assistance. The St. Joe
fire department immediately made
the run to White City, and while
the firemen were unable to save
the house, due to lack of water,
they did, manage, to keep the fire
from spreading to the other twt'
dwellings. Loss of the building andt
part of the furnishings was placed
at approximately $3000.
Fire Chief Dan Brooks said the
department was. glad they could
be of assistance in this instance,
since the members of the forestry
station have given unes~timable as-
sistance within the city limits in
fighting woods fires.

Furniture, Radios, Toys

Be Back On Market Soon

John Blount of the St. Joe Fur-
niture & Appliance Store was
bellyaching to the editor the other
day that he couldn't get radios or
electrical .appliances, not to men-
tion a lot of other stuff. And a simi-
lar plaint was voiced by Emmett
Daniel over at MoCoy's Five and
Ten Store in regard to metal ar-
ticles and metal toys.
Well, good news .awaits them-
and al-so the purchasing public ot
Port St. Joe, for a survey just con-
ductedi,by the New York Journal
of Commerce indicates that large
quantities of radios, lamps, metal
furniture, toys and similar items
will be available in retail stores
this, summer.
Continued scarcities are seen in
the larger furniture. pieces, tex-
tiles, china and glassware. In fact,
an adequate supply of these latter
two- items is not expected for two
years.
An "avalanche" of radios will be
on the market soon, according 'to
the survey, and metal toys will re-
place wooden before Christmias.
More and better quality lamps
and small electric appliances will
be seen in American homes before
the summer is over.

Red Cross Field

Director Speaks

At P.-T. A. Meet

Outlines What Contributions and
Membership Dues Make
Possible

Speaking before a meeting of
the Port St. Joe Parent-Teacher
Association held Thursday after-
noon of last week in the high
school auditorium, J. C. McCotter,
field director for the Red Cross, at
Camp Gordon Johnston, gave a
brief review of the aims of 'the Red
Cross program for the ensuing
year.
He emphasized the fact that the
main parts of the program will
consider problems of veterans, aid
and recreational care of American
servicemen still stationed' over-
seas, and disaster relief for' the
United States.
One of the most interesting
portions of Mr. McCotter's talk
were his comments on his per-
sonal experiences, as a recreational
director with the American Red
Cross overseas during the war.
He was in Iceland, where Amerl-
can units were stationed, and he
stated that the morale problem
was quite difficult to handle, and
t h e unpredictable weather, to-
gether with the uneven distribu-
tion of daylight and darkness,
made the solution harder than or-
dinary assignments.. He recalled, a
series of baseball games 'that were
called' at midnight, yet it was as
bright as our summer noonday
sun.
Another of his experiences Mr.
McCotter told, to his audience, of
teachers and parents, was laid In
northern Ireland. There the pro-
gram could, be organized. to much
greater. capacity and with more
facilities. The clubs which the
Red Cross built for the servicemen
and women were modeled after
New York hotels. If a serviceman
canrg there on leave he could get
everything from valet service to a
shave and, hair cut. One of the
most popular features of these
clubs were the hot showers. Often
a serviceman would spend, an en-
tire leave without going out of the
club.
Following the talk by McCotter
a business meeting was held dur-
ing which a nominating committee
was named consisting of Mrs. L.
P. Sutton, Mrs. George Suhber and
Miss Marjorie Philyaw.
At the conclusion of the busi-
ness session, the members enjoyed
a social hour during which coffee
and pound cake were served.
The April meeting of tfie P.-T.
A. will be held in the high school
library with Prof. W. A. Biggart
in charge of th.e program.

Our Country Right or Wrong


SOWING SEEDS OF DOUBT
We have noticed that in almost any edit
of a daily newspaper you will find at le
one story of a mishap that befell a veteran
this war. By the same token one may find
least one story reporting the misdeeds o:
veteran. The word "veteran" has become
repetitious in news stories that it appears
though the ex-serviceman stumbles at evw
crossroad or is trying to trip his fellow c
zen at each by-way.
SThe .men and women who have just
turned from war, and we have a startli
large number right here in Gulf county,
average Americans, no different than any c
of the 132,000,000 citizens who live norr
lives and pursue their own ambitions. Of 1
15,000,000 men and women who served w
our armed forces during the war years
will find a cross-section of America.
races, creeds and coloi-s side by side in c
army of democracy.
It 'is only natural then that we find nm
and women from all walks of life-"mercha
lawyer, beggerman, thief' successful ci
zens, and those who are failures. For tl
reason the average veteran resents the pt
licity which tends to disprove the.fact th
because he is a veteran, he is different tlb
his fellow citizens. The mention of the v
eran in derogatory stories .(which, incid<
tally, you do not see in The Star) tends
place a seed of doubt in the minds of our ci
zens which grows until they begin to wond
whether all veterans are questionable.
Mention. in news stories is seldom made

offenses of the individuals by their religi,

majority by the reporting of veterans w

It seems to the editor of The Star that t
nation's daily press and radio should refr;
from publicizing the word "veteran" in stc
ies associated with unpleasant incidents. H
a veteran, yes, but first he's an American.

Accident Record ......
In recent years the United States
has had. the worst accident record -'. ;-.
of any country except Chile. The '- -'
last report from Germany was in
1936, when accidental deaths per
100,000 population were 43.4. Japan,
which reported as late as 1938, had
a 44.0 rate. In comparison, the '
United States rate per 100,000 the
last year was 72.3, according to
Statistics by the National Safety
council.

at the local hosiital, having un-
diergone 'an operation recently.

ama City.


THE FUTURE OF MANKIND
Strange as it may seem, the fate of people
on this'-earth may come to rest on such simple
matters as how to use a little metal or what
we may do with a stick of wood.
The metal referred to is uranium. From it
modern science has learned to create atomic
energy, so deadly that its use in some future
war could easily wipe out all plant, .animal
and human life forever.
The stick of wood is a stick of pulpwood.
From its fibers science makes paper-paper
for newsprint, for magazines, for books, for
stationery and for practically everything else
upon which human thoughts are written.
These are the two elements that may de-
cide the future of mankind. Atomic energy
offers people an easy way to commit suicide.
Yet it also holds forth the prospect that
atomic energy, used for peace, can bring won-
derful new blessings to man.
But how is this strange atomic force really
to be used? Will nations continue to mistrust
each other, constantly rearming, and in the
end going to war once more? Or will na-
tions and their people learn to live together
in peace and harmony?
The answers to these questions are to be
found in paper. With paper for Bibles and text-
books, for newspapers and magazines, for all
the thousands of other peacetime ways in
which knowledge can be spread, man may
learn in time to love his neighbor, and nations
may learn to do likewise.

RUMOR WITHOUT FOUNDATION
The recent dark-flour order caused a ru-
mor to spread through rural areas that millers
were to substitute plain muslin for the gaily
printed cotton flour sack, time-tested founda-
tion of the nation's farm fashions. No longer
'-when the wind blew across the South would
one see the names of famous brands of flour
on all the girls' underpants.
Farm wives recoiled in horror at the very
thought. For years the stout, fast-color flour
sack had been as important to them as '
contents. Then came good news. A KaIsas
City bag company, which supplies the natAon's
millers with most of their printed sacks, an-
nounced that not a single order for prin' :1
sacks had been lost because of dark flour.
Thus the rumor was scotched. The rural
'housewives breathed a sigh of relief. Easter
could come as usual. Across young, churcn-
bound backsides would still be emblazoned the
good old legend's: "Pure As Drifted Snow,"
"100 Lbs. Fresh Ground," "Guaranteed Self-
Rising," etc.

Some compiler of statistics states that right
now the United States needs 12,590,000 alarm
clocks and 5,000,000 garbage cans. Undoubt-
edly the garbage cans are to throw the alarm
clocks into when they go off early in the
morning.

The greatest disappointment in life is to
see another fellow right ahead of you taking
the only parking place in the block.

Whiskey may not cure a cold, but those
who have tried it say nothing fails more
agreeably.

it represents his years of training, expe-

Plan to Keep Soil Busy

All Summer for Top Yield


Effident Layout for Vegetable Garden of 1,200 Square Feet.


In a small garden, planned to
produce an all season supply of
each vegetable grown, and keep the
land working without idle periods,
an amazing quantity of fresh vege-
tables of high quality can be grown.
It is far more economical to cul-
tivate efficiently a small plot, than
to work twice the space haphazard-
ly, and the yield of the small area
may easily equal or exceed the
large. The small space may be
better kept with less work, and less
seed, fertilizer and insecticides will
be needed. Well fed vegetables will
have higher quality, and the owner
will take more pride in the appear-
ance of his plot.


All this requires only careful
planning; and that can be done in
a few hours during an evening be-
fore the ground outside is dry
enough to spade. A suggested
schedule for a space 24x50 feet is
given below, with a diagram of the
area above.
Do not copy this plan and sched-
ule, but make your own, based on
conditions in your garden and your
own family preferences. And re-
member that, in making any plan,
adjustments are always necessary,-
with a little more of one crop sown
here, a little less of another there,
in order t6 make each sowing a
complete row, and keep the ground
occupied all season.


First Sowing, as Soon as Ground Is Prepared.

NOTICE, TO THE PUBLIC


The Apalachicola Northern Railroad Company, from
time to time, has been attempting to provide coal for
domestic purposes to the cities of this community.
The town has had sufficient growth now to warrant
someone going into the coal business, and this Com-
pany is not desirous of continuing to furnish coal, as
this should be a business for some one or more people
to handle. It is not the desire of the Apalachicola
Northern Railroad Company to furnish or handle
coal, and we do not care to do so.

Editor The Star:
Atter all is said and dun, our
U.SA system ain't so upset but
whut enny good old-fashioned fam-
ily doctor could, git us back on our
feet -- economically speaking We
bin hirin's too dadblamed. many
specialists. And each day 'stead of
,'ittin' 'better, we git a new kind ot
cramp.
Nobuddy, ennymore, is happy.
She don't look like the old care-
free USA like when gramma and
grampa started out. And to explain
the whys and wherefores, that
there Mister Byrd' up there in ol'
Virginny, he digs up sum figgers
showing' -therq's still 'most 3 million
coastin' on Uncle Samibo's payroll
-civilians, not soldiers er sailors
-and you know, that means 'bout
100 bucks per year to be ponied up
'by each wage earner. An' that ain't
hay. That's the price of a cduple
nice new suits-if you kin afford
to be a 2-suit guy.
And' you know, irfen I wnz to
blurt out an opinion, we gotta take
the ol' bull by the horns and git
back on the beam. Start a-usin'
horse sense or old family doctor
pre-scriptions versus hiring' a flock
of "left eybrow specialists."
