Where Women May Help
The appeal for wamen of all ages to enroll as Vic
tory Recreation Volunteers and bring a wholesome
"home touch" to Camp White gatherings should find
a ready answer, here in Jackson County. Although
many are already participating, five hundred more
"volunteers" are urgently needed at once. The local
Civilian Defense council is lending full cooperation
in the task of enrolling church groups, women's clubs,
office and store workers and housewives for once-a-
month participation in Camp White parties.
THE appeal is especially directed to mothers and
wives of this valley women whose companion
ship would, in a measure, ease the soldiers' longing
for mothers, wives and sisters at home. The younger
girls of this community are already devoting their
time to U.S.O. and camp entertaining. The pressing
need at this time is for older women to act as tempor
ary mothers and sisters for homesick soldiers. Cer
tainly, this need should be met without delay. The
Victory Recreation Volunteers provide a wholesome,
well supervised avenue through which women may
perform a really patriotic and morale-buildine service
for our armed forces right
THE people of Jackson County have been impressed
with the orderly conduct of Camp White soldiers
and generally high caliber of men who make up the
personnel of our own army cantonment Tangible
proof that these men have become a real part of this
community was apparent in the generous contribution
to the Medford Community Chest fund by officers
and men of the 91st Division. Recently they gave a
check for $3500 to this fund.
No worth-while opportunity to extend this friendly
relationship between civilian and military residents
of this area should be ignored.
IT SHOULD be emphasized that Camp White gath-
erings, in which Victory Recreation ' Volunteers
will take part, are planned and directed by official
Camp White hostesses. Women who "enlist" in the
Victory organization may attend these functions in
groups if they prefer; the parties are always well su
pervised. Cards, games and dancing are enjoyed ;
transportation to and from the camp is provided.
One evening a month is all that volunteers are asked
to devote.
Here, indeed, Is an opportunty for women of this
community to bring a bit of home atmosphere to
Camp White soldiers who long for it, have asked for
it and certainly should have it H.G.

scrambled over the Jollet wall
with Touhy.
After the gang had "holed
up" in Chicago, Nelson went out
and got drunk. When he came
in, Hoover said, the gang "pistol
whipped him the worst punish
ment a man can take." They beat
him Into a pulp with the butts
and barrels of their guns as a
lesson not to endanger them
again by his predeliction for

Nelson Taken First
After that Nelson and the gang
separated and Nelson went to
Minneapolis, where he was cap

fully with a pistol under his
pillow.
Hoover did not say so but he
left a clear implication that Nel

to the gang cleanup today. Wil

at Joliet. was captured in Chi

Hoover's account of tha gang's

War Returns Prosperity To
Historic Port St. Jo., Fla.
By Lynno Brannenn. Jr.
United Press Staff Correspondent.
Port St. Jo., Fla. (U.R) Old-time residents of thlg historic
Gulf coast seaport recently have had visions of their city's former
splendor recalled to them through war-made expansions of indus
tries and U. S. coast guard activities.
Port St. Jo s 3,500 population.
swelled by Uncle Sam's fighting
forces, by war industry workers.
by sailors and proprietors of
new business enterprises, has
seen housing facilities strained
to bear the load.
When the state's new federal
financed trans-Florida pipe line
goes into operation. Port St Jo
will play an even more import
ant part in the nation's war ef
fort since this pipe line has its
western terminus here.
This pipe line, now nearing
completion, was built at a cost
of several million dollars. It
will convey oil previously haul
ed by barges through inter
coastal canals from Texas and
Louisiana across Florida to be
re-loaded on barges going up
Atlantic inter-coastal canals to
large eastern cities, such as New
York and Boston.
This route will shield the
barges from enemy submarine
attacks which have proved so
costly to U. S. shipping and
which indirectly brought on ra
tioning of oil and gasoline in
the entire 48 states.
Ltd as Resort City
Port St. Jo at one time was
Florida's leading resort city and
boasted of the only steam rail
road in the state. The first con
stitutional convention ever to as
semble in Florida was held at
Port St Jo, then known as St
Joseph. Dec. 3, 1838.
At that time Port St. Jo not
only had railroad it had a
race track, a prosperous bank,
a newspaper and important wat
er and rail-borne commerce. It
was the leading cotton-export
city In the state.
According to historians, Flori
da's first boom of territorial
days reached a peak at St. Jo:
"Here money was sent as free
as water. Gambling was preval
ent and citizens from Alabama
and Georgia visited the city for
their vacations much as they go
to Miami and other resort cities
today."
St Joseph's glory lasted un
til 1841, when a disastrous yel
low fever epidemic swept the
city, followed by a hurricane
which all but erased it from the
map and left only a sparse pop
ulation there.
Carriages Filled Streets
At tt peak the ma11 P01
had some 25 business houses
which sold groceries, liquors,
ship chandlery, dry goods, cloth
ing and general merchandise.
From St Jo were shipped as
much as 35,000 bales of cotton
in a single season.
Carriages rolled Into Its streets
constantly over a road stretch
ing northward into Georgia.
Steam-powered trains carried
passengers and freight to Iola
some 30 miles distant on the
Apnlachicola river.
Not to be outrivaled by St.
Jo's prosperity were its early
education facilities. St. Joseph's
Academy was founded there and
turned out many of the state's
early leaders.
With a new prosperity thrust
upon them, citizens of Port St
Jo are visionlng brighter days
ahead when the little city on
the bay will once again be im
portant in commerce and tourist
trade.
