Lewis and Wilson

In Runoff For


Representative


Wilson Almost Chalks Up a
Plurality Over His Two
Opponents

Running neck and neck as the
votes were tabulated Tuesdiay
night, E. Clay Lewis Jr., and C.
1C. Wilson emerg-d as high men in
the race for representative in the
legislature from Gulf county, with
-C. H. Johnson .bringing up the
rear as a poor third.
'Wilson chalked up 845 votes to
Lewis' 747 and, Johnson's 139. Had
Wilson received 42 more votes he
would have had a plurality over
his opponents. It is' estimated that
there are, about 50 absentee bal-
lots to be counted today, but these
should not materially change the
standings of the. run-off men.
'General opinion,is that the cam-
paign for the' second primary in
'this, race will be fast and furious
with the odds even on both con-
'tenders, although -it is conceded
that Lewis has a slight edge due
'to the excellent reputation he has
built during his years of service
'in the legislature as representative
'from Gulf county.

TAPPER RETURNED
AS HARBOR MASTER

Robert Tapper was returned to
the position of harbor master df
the port of Port St. Joe over his
opponent, Jack Fowler, by a vote
of 954 to 677.
This was one of the most hotly
contested races locally and cre-
ated a great deal of heated discus-
sion.
The office of harbor master had
been appointive, but an act of the
1941 Tegislature made it an elec-
tive office.

Roche Winner

In Contest For

Commissioner

Connell Has Plurality Over
Opponents; Whitfield Is
Returned to Board

SThe race. for county commis-
sioner in the Port St. Joe district
was. the biggest surprise- of the
i election to most people when W.
i C. Roche was named to the board
;over the incumbent, Harry Saun..
ders, by a majority of 471: Roche
received a total of 1088' votes
throughout the county and Saun-
ders 617.
Practically everyone had con-
ceded, that this particular race
was a toss-up, with neither candi-
date apparently having an' edge
over the other. But counting of the
ballots gave Roche an almost two-
to-one majority over Saundiers.
In the Wewahitchka district W.
R. Connell waste returned to the
board by a plurality of 159 votes
over his two opponents, Ernest E.
Bridges and Llaud'e E Lister, the
former receiving 350 votes and tne
latter 388.

re-election to the board from the

Our Country Y Right or Wrong

FREEDOM TO LAUGH
Americanism reveals itself in the little
things as well as the large, in flashes of free
humor r1o less than in heroic,and cheerful
sacrifice.
The, president, for instance, is at one .of
his easy-going conferences with the newspa-


permen. A young reporter queries "How
about the stories of the bombing of Tokyo?"
The president replies that a "sweet young
thing" who was a dinner guest at the White
House had asked him where those bombers
came from, and that he had told her they
came from Shangri La-a place not to be
found on any map, because it exists only it
the imagination of a fictionist. Thereupon
another reporter pipes out, "Mr. President,
is this 'sweet young thing' the same one
whom you told some weeks ago that General
MacArthur escaped from the Philippines by
rowing all the way to Australia in a canoe?"
The conference bursts into a roar of laugh-
ter, in which the president heartily joins. He
concludes the momentous inquiry by remark-
ing that he applied the term "'sweet young
thing' only in the generic sense."
Can you fancy Hitler or Mussolini or that
solemnesque "Son of Heaven," Hirohito, en-
gaging in such a colloquy? No leader in all
the world, perhaps none in all history, has
borne heavier burdens that our president does
today. Yet he bandies wit with the newspa-
per boys, who may question him as freely
and informally as if he were one of their
confreres. That is democracy, that is Ameri-
canism, keeping its sense of humor amidst


the sternest tasks and proving its
mettle by gossamer touches as
well as in iron blows.
A free people we are and,
heaven be praised, we have not
lost the boon of laughter.-The
Atlanta Journal.

SWEETER THAN SWEETS




IS FREEDOM





When you look at your ration card, remember-,

Food less sweet is still much sweeter than slavery.


Our limited supply of sugar must be conserved because-

... ships must be released to transport men and supplies
to far-flung battle fronts.

.sugar is an essential energy food for our fighting men,
and those of our allies.

.sugar-cane products are of great importance to suc-
cessful prosecution of the war.




Sugar eaten in slavery would be a bitter potion,indeed




Cut your sugar consumption even below the allowable
ration and thus make doubly sure your food will always be
flavored by the precious sweetness of liberty.

When youlook at your sugar ration card, smile smile
sweetly-so you may appreciate to the fullest your right and
your liberty to smile!

To these millions, the relief obtained by the use of Alka-Seltzer
is worth far more than the genutie enjoyment they get from the

The most important parts of our radio program, both to you and

The pain-relieving analgesic in Alka-Seltzer is in complete solu-
