County Monday

Collection Boxes Will Be Placed
At Convenient Spots and
Coin Cards Distributed

Plans for the 1946 March of
Dimes, in the fight against infan-
tile paralysis moved forward to-
day with the appointment of com-
mittee members by Joe Mira.
chairman of the appeal in Gulf
county.
The local campaign. which opens
Monday and closes January 31, is
part of the nation-wide appeal of
the National Foundation for Infan-
tile Paralysis for funds to continue
the fight against poliomyelitis.
As in the past, March of Dimes
coin collection boxes will"be placed
at convenient spots throughout the
county and coin cards will also be
distributed this year. Arrange-
ments have been made with the
Port theater whereby all employees
of the store having the largest
amount in its coin box will receive
free passes to the theater. A prize
of $3 will be awarded at school to
the room having the, largest amount
in its coin box at the end .of the
drive.
In the light of widespread pub-
lic knowledge of the national foun-
dation's tremendous achievements
in recent epidemic years, Mira said,

pecting a greater response this
year than ever before.
"The Gulf county chapter is
arming now," he said. "against the
possibility of an outbreak in the
summer ahead-. We must have the
n cessary funds to help our health
officials, physicians and hospital
provide the finest available care
and treatment for infantile par-
alysis patients. When a polio out-
break occurs, no one knows' how
much special equipment and ap-
pliances, 'or how many physical
therapists and nurses. may" be
needed.
"Our chapter, and the national
foundation are pledged to see to
it that n:o victim of infantile par-
alysis shall go without care and
treatment for lack of money, r,-
gardless of age, race. creed or
col61or.
"This is our opportunity to share
in one of the greatest humanitarian
services of all time. Let us, all re-
solve to give generously.
"Let us make this March of
Dimes 'the greatest ever!"

Our Country Right or Wrong

JO SERRA VISITS US
Jo Serra dropped in this week for his an-
nual visit with the editor of The Star-. Jo
looks hale and hearty in spite of his umpty-
ump years and reports everything going fine
down there in Willis Swamp.
Propping his feet up on our desk and ex-
pectorating a chaw of tobacco into our waste-
basket. Jo said; "I don't git in to town very
offen, but every time I do here lately, seems
to me that things is gittin' higher an' higher
in price. 'Course it don't make much differ-
ence to me, I kin go out and shoot me a mess
o' squirrels or a deer, or catch some brim or
catfish and have a jimdandy meal. But when
you hear wimmin mutterin' curses at the 'out-
rageous' prices they're asked to pay fer
things, it's bad-I don't like to hear wimmin
cussin.
"Ginerally they cuss the guys that produce
what they wanta buy. and one uv the biggest
jokes to ime is the way various groups will
charge each other with bein' highbinders,
while the housewives kinda think they're all
robbers. The farmer he cusses the merchant;
the merchant he cusses the ,arithefi;: an' the
consumer he cusses 'em both, thet is, when
he's playing' the role of consumer. Iffen he
also plays the role of family breadwinner, he's
a robber o' some sort too during' work hours.
Know the reason fer all o' this cussin'? Wal,
I bin on this here ol' earth quite a spell, an'
this seems t'me t'be how everybuddy acts
when inflashun is beginnin'-an' like I said,
I've seed it start a couple times afore.
"Nobuddy ever cusses that there annual
federal deficit o' billions o' dollars when he
takes a gander at the high price of sumpthin'
he wants, but that's what's a-causin' it. Nor,
as fur as I kin see. does ennybuddy ever rise
up on their hind laigs and damn the federal
guvamint fer its spendthrift ways when he's
hit smack 'tween the eyes with risin' prices.
"You kin mark my words, as long as. the
guvamint runs right along on borrowed cash
jist so long will we have them there so-called
'price gougers' in every line. Always in/the
past borrowed munney has meant 'cheap'
munnpy an' high prices.
"Me? I'm a-goin' back down in the Swamp
where they can't tax me and they ain't no
revenooers, an' I'm jist a-goin' to sit there
an' laugh at you gol-durn fools out here with
your 'civilization'."

TEAMWORK
The late Stephen Ltacock once described
a fabulous character who "mounted his horse
and rode off in all directions."
And that's quite a track! If anyone around
here has ever hitched uis horses to opposite
ends of the same wagon and then tried to
drive both ways at once they can understand
the difficulties involved
Teamwork is the basis of progress. And
men, like horses, have .o pull together in or-
der to get anywhere.
Without teamwork Lmong nations, inter-
national relations bog down and end up in
chaos. Victory over Ge-many. and Japan was
speeded because of the co-operation that ex-
isted among our allies; because our armed
forces abroad and the imn and women of Port
St. Joe and other Amercan communities who
manned the home froni, pulled together.
The same kind of teamwork is needed now,
teamwork in which every citizen plays his
part. Without it. recorversion will flounder
and our nation will be headed for economic
disaster.
All Americans share a .common goal: To
win through to natioml prosperity in 1940.
Success requires a natbn that is pulling to-
gether, marching forward together, fused in
a common effort.
Unless the nation-wile strike situation is
cleared up shortly that goal will not be at-
tained.

DEPENDS ON WHOSE PIG IS STUCK
Thirteen north and eastern states are yelp-
ing that the interstate commerce commis-
sion's temporarily suspended order raising
railroad rates on manufactured goods by 10
,per cent in the north aid east and lowering
them the same amount in the south and west
is "discriminatory."
It sure makes a lot of difference as to whose
pig is being stuck, doesn't it? For years the
South has been laboring under much more
"discriminatory" rates but up until now has
been too weak politically to do anything
about it. This is merely ah effort to give the
South approximately the same railroad rates
that are enjoyed by those in the north..
The objecting states shout that the order
was adopted "without due regard to all the
recognized economic factors which constitute
the only sound basis for establishing freight
rates."
To which we reply: It shouldn't cost us
more to ship a carload Df freight to New
York from Port St. Joe than it does to ship
a carload of freight from New York to Port
St. Joe.
