Our Country Right or Wrong SOMETHING OUGHT TO BE DONE We don't know about the rest of you people, but the editor of The Star has found it extremely difficult to enter Reid Avenue in a car from some of the side streets without being in danger of getting whopped by a car proceeding down the main drag due to the fact that angle parking of cars right up to the corner makes it impossible to see in either direction. We suggest either traffic lights at the inter- sections of Fourth, Third and Second Streets with Reid Avenue or prohibit parking right up to the corners as at present. True, no accidents have yet occurred at these almost blind intersections, but it's our guess that there soon will be some. Since the city probably has no money to in- stall traffic lights, we suggest that one parking space be eliminated at each corner. And while we're on this subject, another bad intersection is at Third Street and Long Avenue. Despite. the fact that "Stop" signs are placed on Third Street at this -point, Ye Ed has avoided collisions by a narrow margin several times while coming up Williams Avenue due to the fact that motorists pay no heed to the stop signs. And" we're not the only ones, because from the loca- tion of The Star office near this intersection we continually hear the squeal of tires as some mo- torist slams on his brakes at the corner to pre- .vent a crash. Personally, while Williams Ave- nue is supposedly a "through" thoroughfare, we always slow down or come to a stop before at- tempting to enter or cross Third Street. LET'S HAUL BACK ON THE REINS During the current session, congress should thoroughly examine the problem of price, and other controls-and also examine with a critical eye the policies and philosophies which have been established by the Office of Price Stabili- zation. OPS has saddled producers and distributors with a tremendous and costly burden of red tape, and right here in Port St. Joe some of the con- flicting orders have driven business men to the verge of insanity; in fact, one man sold out his business to get away from the red tape involved. And not only our local business men, but top- flight lawyers, economists and authorities on manufacturing, farming and retailing all over the nation have been driven to the brink of utter confusion. As far as we can see, the argument that OPS has prevented still more inflation is a lot of ma- larky. Prices have been held down for the simple reason that producers and distributors compete with each other,- and the guy offering the best value gets the business. OPS, at times, has seemed bent on a revolu- tionary policy of "profit control," as witness the fact that recently it wanted to force retailers to absorb cost increases which were completely beyond their control. Only action by congress prevented this. It's time we really put-a bit in OPS' mouth- and hauled back hard on the reins. We read a lot these days about government on the different levels-government on the state level, government on the federal level. Every day there is more evidence of what a lot of peo- ple have suspected all along-that the federal government isn't even on the level.-Columbus (Nebr.) News. Every time we turn on our radio we hear "The Shrimp Boats Are a Comin'" We'll sure be glad when those shrimp boats get off the radio waves and get back on the ocean waves. The hens do all the work and the roosters do the crowing. WORLD FAMOUS -W - FLAMINGO PARADE Birds are Paraded only once a year FLAMINGO STAKES One of America's Foremost Horse Races #1 SEE YOU AT SATURDAY, MARCH 1 TEN YEARS AGO From the Files of The Star Commissioner Race Languid There may be a race on for city commissioner in Port St. Joe, but none of the three candidates are wearing track shoes and there is little or no rooting from the side- lines where the voters stand. In fact, from present indications, it is doubtful if half the people of the city know that an election is to be held next Tuesday. Contenders for the seat to be made vacant at the expiration of the three-year term of B. W. Eel-ls, who is seeking re-elec- tion, are B. B. Conklin and D. W. "Buster" Owens.

Get a truck that gives you more mileage on gas and oil that costs less for upkeep that carries mnr-e payload. A truck like that will really save you money! ..Owners of Dodge "Job-Rated" trucks enjoy ihe outstanding economy cf trucks that are "Job' '.

Let us show you how a Dodge "Job-Rated" truck -, will cut your hauling costs. Reduce costs with economical power-Dodge truck engines have four rings per piston, light- weight aluminum pistons, compression ratios as high as 7.0 to 1, and other economy values. Reduce costs with low upkeep-You get such money-saving advantages as chrome-plated top f piston rings, exhaust valve seat inserts, positive- pressure lubrication, and many others. Reduce costs with bigger payloads-Because a S. Dodge "Job-Rated" truck has better weight dis- tribution, it carries more load on the front axle. As a result, you can haul bigger payloads ee as oao/ or e. 6ef // u'y /ow-cosf mtn' poffOf/o... ANDO GE;* _TRU KS I P A Y Corner Baltzell Avenue and 4th Street PORT ST.
