PAY DAY Every Pay Day THE STAR T HE ,BOND DAY Let's Double STOP SPENDING-SAVE DOLLARS Our Quota SP SPENDING-SAV AS The Home Newspaper of Northwest Florida's Future Industrial Centerur Quot VOLUME V PORT ST. JOE, GULF COUNTY, FLORIDA, FRIDAY, MAY 8, 1942 NUMBER 31 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.

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 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.

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. Mrs. C. J. Sullivan and Mrs. Joel Carr spent Saturday in Panama City. W. A.
