War Department Citation

The St. Joseph Telephone and
Telegraph Company has received
a citation from Robert P Patter.
son, secretary of war, -for services
rendered during the war. The cita-
tion read's:
"The war department expresses
its appreciation for patriotic serv-
ice in a position of trust and re-
sponsibility to J. L. Sharit, super-
intendent of the St. Joseph Tele-
phone and Telegraph Company or
Port St. Joe, Florida, for outstand-
ing service and co-operation with
the Fourth Service Command dur-
ing the period of emergency.
"By his personal efforts and with
the assistance of members of his
organization, intricate communica-
tion systems, facilities, and ser-
vices were expeditiously provided
for the use of the army, thereby
assisting materially in the prosecu-
tion of the war effort."
The local company served ap-
proximately 1000 telephones at the
Altha auxiliary to the Marianna air
base, Camp Gordon Johnston, Ap-
alachicola air base, Tyndall Field
Gunnery School and the U. S. En-
gineers at Cararbelle, Camp Bell
and Tyndall Field.
In addition, the company built 11
toll circuits to Gordon Johnston
from Apalachicola, seven toll cir-
cuits from Apalachicola to Chatta-
hoochee to connect with the South-
ern Bell Telephone Company, three
toll circuits from Apalachicola to
Panama City, and one full period
talking service fom Apalachicola to
Tyndiall Field. The Apalachicola
central office, a toll center, was
also equipped with a five-,position
multiple switchboard and carrier
service between Apalachicola and
Thomasville, Ga., giving as good
service as is available to any tele-
phone company and expediting ser-
vice to and from the company's
various exchanges.

Our Country Right or Wrong

SHORTCHANGED GENERATION
Marvina Lindsay, columnist of The Wash-
ington Post, doesn't mince words in the dis-
cussion of teacher shortages this'year. Says
she.:
"Communties, faced with their closed or
overcrowded schoolrooms, their substandard
teachers, will at last have to take stock of
themselves. What are they 'sacrificing' for
the schooling of their children? About 1.4 per
cent of the national income-while Great Brit-
ain spends 2 per cent, Soviet Russia around 13
per cent. For what are their state treasuries
-now generally solvent-exspending funds?
Roads first, then public health, then education.
"What are they doing to attract teachers?
Paying them less than the garage mechanics
who take care of their cars. Making drudges
out of them in community chores. Letting el-
derly school boards and nosey Mrs. Grundys
direct their social life, failing to show them
the appreciation and honor for which their
souls are starving.'
"The basis of solving the teacher problem
lies in shocking- Americans into realizing the
national peril of shortchanging educationally
today's children. They need to see that the.
teaching task is so important that superlien
and superwomen should be developed to
handle it."


It now comes out that army dentists pulled
16,500,000 teeth since Pearl Harbor. We had
gone on supposing it was drilling that got the'
GI down.


"Little Boy Blue, come blow your horn-"
Petrillo's not looking and the cow's in the corn.


'STARDUST and

MOONSHINE

'Butter, butter, who's got the but-
ter? Seems to be no par-
ticular limit on it when any of
6our local grocery stores get in a
few pounds. Checking on the price
we find that Store A gets 92c per
pound, Store B 98c, Store C $1.00,
and Store D 85.c. Perhaps
that 85-cent butter isn't up to the
butterfat content of the $1.00 per
pound product, but a buck a pound
for butter! Wow!, And it is
quite peculiar, but when there's
butter on the market the oleomar-
garine disappears. Of course, oleo
will keep longer than butter .
Could be?
Harry Saunders, relaxing iu the
sulphurous fumes of the mineral-
'baths at Hot Sprinks, Ark., writes
and encloses a telephone call slip,
saying: "I have heard various tele-
;phone'girls pronounce it in many
and varied ways, but I think the
attached takes the prize insofar
as spelling 'Apalachicola" is con-
cerned." .. And here's the
way the phone girl spelled it: "A'.-
alachizola, Fla." Oh, well,
perhaps some of our Florida phone
gals would get mixed' up on spell-
ing some Arkansas town names,


PLENTY OF RED TAPE
In report No. 10, 78th congress, of a com-
mittee headed by then Senator Truman, this
observation was made: "It is the job of gov-
ernment to devise rules of the road, but not
to tell the driver where he must travel."
That principle is as sound now as on the
day some years ago when it was written. The
whole system. of democratic government de-
pends upon government being an umpire, not
a player in the game. But it is apparent to
anyone that government has moved away
from that principle and has made itself player
as well as umpire.
The agonizing delays in reconversion to
peacetime production are largely 'the conse-
quence of too much government. Anyone in
Port St. Joe, or anywhere else, who has tried
to start a business, build a home, or buy a
piece of war surplus equipment knows what
happens. The red tape is in abudance and
everything else is scarce.

NOT FOR QUITTERS
John Wanamaker, one of America's most
famous and successful business men, is
credited with this sound advice:
"If there is one enterprise on earth that a
quitter should leave alone, it is advertising.
Advertising does not jerk-it pulls. It begins
very gently at first, but the pull is steady. It
increases day by day and year by year until
it exerts an irresistible power."


Collections of federal excise taxes on motor
cars, tires, radios, sporting goods, refrigera-
tors, theater tickets, night club checks, busi-
ness machines. and scores of other items, are
showing a marked increase, which points to a
flourishing state of business. VWill somebody
kindly impart this information to the droopy
and sharply discouraged New York stock mar-
ket?-Kansas City Star.


"Twoi New Cases of Polo Here," says a
headline in a recent issue of the Panama City
NeXs-[1erald. W\e new that 'golf was catch-
ing, having had a severe attack from which
we have never quite recovered, but we never
knew that polo came under the same head of
communicable diseases.

WVe wish we could catch up on our worry-
ing about serious matters long enough to
spend a few minutes worrying; about some-
thing trivial.

Over at the Jaycee meeting Mon-
day night when George Tapper ap-
pointed Basil E. Kenney as a mem-
ber of the committee to see about
making concrete street markers,
Bas chirped: "Put a lumberman on
a concrete committee!" And
Doec Norton: "I hope to be able to
learn to fly some day, and I'd like
to see the Jaycees sponsor an air-
port." And here we thought all
along that Doc could already pilot
his flying orange crate. .. And
Horace Soule argued long' and lus-
tily in a vain endeavor to turn
down the job of vice-chairman of
the committee on securing St. Joe
as a terminal for the Apalachicola-
Chattahoochee waterway, stating
he wouldn't have the time. .
