L. Sharit prom- ised in A statement issued yester- day. "Chairman S. L. Barke of the, county War Bonds and Stamps staff has, advised me that every county in the United States has been given a fixed quota for bond and stamp sales each month. Gulf county' May quota has been set at $4400 and I am sure we can at- tain it, and; that we will not fail to fulfill our obligations to de- mocracy throughout the war. "The people of Port St. Joe have given men to the fighting forces of the nation, without stint; we have given workers to" the war program, without stint. To make effective those contributions of men and of brains we must now give our wholehearted, support to the War Bond campaign. "I predict that the city of Port St. Joe, which signed up heavily in the 'Every, American Canvass' pledge to purchase -bonds and stamps, will exceed the. quota of War Bond and Stamp purchases lhis nonti;, fiexnioth, sid ev ry month throughout the- .-duraion.' And I predict that in so doing we will join our neighbors in Gulf county in friendly rivalry, each hoping to outstrip the other in bond purchaess. "By united effort, we. must put our city and county 'over the top' for. Victory."

Crack-Down Made On Credit Buying Accounts Opened Prior to 'June 1 Ordered Settled By July 10 - Wbat is good newiPto a .lo.of Poit St. Joe merchants who have old back accounts, and probably what is not such good news to other merchants who do an exten. sive credit business; is the' order from the Federal Reserve Board affecting credit purchases and in- cluding nearly every household eti m except food d s. ministration to co-operate fully in making the. program work. They are particularly asked not to regis- ter complaints, until the price-fix- ing gets well under way. Shoppers should realize that ,by next Mondlay every retailer in .Port St. Joe must reprice his merchan. dise in keeping with the price reg- ulations and after that he cannot make sales above the ceiling. And this is no small task. SIn general, the ceiling will be the higehst price at which each store sold an article during March. 'The maximum price will vary from store to store just as prices varied from store to store during March. When disagreements arise, the shopper and the storekeeper should get together to see if they can reach a common understanding. Only after-that has been done and 'the sholpei has facts to "warrant. a conclusion that price regulations are being violated should the mat- ter be carried to the locab war board.

Precautions Are Taken Here Due To Subs In Gulf "Screen-Ouit" Has.City In Al, most Total Darkness This Week With two enemy submarines, re- ported, to be in the Gulf of Mexico and at one time, sighted about 100 miles off Pensacola, orders were, received in Port St. Joe this weeK to take every precaution and to partially blackout the city every night until further notice, partiou- larly that portion fronting on the bay. Residents of the city have. co- operated fully in this "screenout" and all electric signs have been turned off-for the duration, if necessary. Householders near the bay have been careful to keep all shades tightly drawn after dark and the city's street lights have had cans, open at the bottom, placed over the bulbs, which di. rects the light straight downward. This latter idea was developed by E. C. Cason, employee of the Flor- ida Power corporation, and is one that might well be followed by all cities along Florida's coasts. The airplane spotting unit was ordered Saturday to go on seVel- day-a-week duty until further no- twice.

SThe spoken word barely asserts; the printed word thoroughly convinces. The spoken word is lost; the printed word remains. Our Country Right or Wrong DANGER IS REAL! With two enemy submarines known to be in the Gulf, and probably more than that number, there is a very real danger to Port St. Joe, rapidly becoming one of the most im- portant ports on the Gulf as far as the trans- shipment of oil and gasoline to the eastern seaboard is concerned. And, too, we have the huge 'mill of the St. Joe Paper company which rates high as a war manufacturing concern. Both the oil terminal and the paper mill would be tempting targets to a subma- rine off our coast. Such things have happened in other parts of the world, and since it is possible, it is necessary for us to prepare to minimize the damage that would result. We don't want to 'be caught unprepared. We won't be caught unprepared if the peo- ple will snap out of their apparent apathy and take a more active part in our civilian defense setup. Needed right now are forty more observers to serve with the airplane spotting unit, and also needed are more auxili- ary firemen-both these units being of vital importance to the defense setup. Women, es~ pecially are asked to sign up with the plane spotting unit, to serve during the daytime. No particular training is needed and hours of duty will be limited to two hours weekly if enough are willing to come forward. This matter of civilian defense is,primarily the concern of each individual, and it should not be allowed to rest on the shoulders of the few who are now endeavoring to carry on as best they can in the face of the unconcern of the majority. Perhaps we need a few shells pumped into our midst or a few bombs dropped from the sky to awaken us to the fact that "it can happen here." LEWIS IS THE MAN The voters of Gulf county will go to the polls on May 26 for but one main purpose- to elect a represetnative in the state legisla- ture from this county. In making their selection we urge all voters to consider carefully before marking their ballots. In times like these, when the na- tion's resources are being strained to the ut- most, when we are in the midst of a war which threatens the very life of our state and nation, our legislators should be chosen care- fully, with-an eye to their past records. No man, in these parlous times, should be electect to the legislature whose character and record do not give assurance that he is capable, honest, free of entangling alliances, above political chicanery and self-seeking. In many respects, the legislature is the state's all-powerful official body. It makes the laws, levies the taxes, appropriates the. public's money, directs the mode of opera- tion of the. state, government, regulates county and municipal governments. The legislature has the power to make or mar the future of our state. With times as they are, no one can antics: pate what kind of questions will come before the next legislature, so the best course is to elect a man who is capable of seeing into and handling properly any issue which might arise. And, in order to so handle such issues, that man must have.had past experience in the legislative halls and must show from his past record that he is capable of handling these matters when they do arise. Our present representative from Gull county, E. Clay Lewis Jr., has all these quali- fications, and on his past record we feel that he is the man we need right now in Talla- hassee. His record presents all the qualities of experience, courage, skill and integrity re- quired to serve the people of Gulf county best and to aid in keeping the state government on an even keel in order that it may be piloted ever forward in these stormy times. We feel that in voting for E. Clay Lewis for representative in the legisalture on May 26, the people of Gulf county will safeguard the economy, the serviceableness and the character of their state and home govern- ments. , LAYING PLANS FOR FUTURE Today most minds are centered on the job of winning this war-and that is one of the biggest jobs that has come to any nation in the history of mankind.' At the same time, many men are thinking of that day when the war will finally end and the equally vast task of reconstruction must be started. They are laying plans for this world of the future, based on the hope that ways can be found to make international peace and prosperity real and permanent, instead of temporary and illusory. i Precisely what we must or will do in the future is in the laps of the gods. Many think that there will be great economic adjustments and we must. find ways to help other peoples attain the means as well as the desire to buy part of the incredible flood of goods that our post-war factories will be able to produce. They think there will be an end to thinking that peoples of another creed and color are inferior to peoples of our creed and color. In short, they believe that a real start may be made toward the goal of the brotherhood ot man something that philosophers have dreamed about for twenty centuries. In any event, all of us are now getting a new and far more accurate idea of the char- acter of other peoples. We used to think of the Chinese in terms of incredible poverty, disease and ignorance-now we have learned that the Chinese are brave and intelligent and are led by men who are outstanding in any company. We used to think of the Rus- sians as spineless serfs-and now the Rus- sians have held the greatest military machine the world has ever known, and perhaps saved all the United Nations from defeat and dis- aster. We used to think of Australia as a rather uninteresting and unimportant "island" far away in the Pacific-and now we have learned that the Australians are people very like ourselves, proud and embattled, and that the defense of Austalia is vital to our own defense. So it goes. Whatever comes, the average American is obtaining an infinitely better knowledge of the world and the people who inhabit it than his forebears ever had. Your quota of War Bonds is 10 per cent or your income. However, nobody will object if, in a moment of enthusiasm you go beyond that quota. Remember, your investment in War Bonds is not only a patriotic duty but a privilege. The 1942 crop of graduates from the Port St. Joe high school should experience no dif- ficulty in finding jobs. And if they can't find jobs, there's always the army, the navy ana the air corps looking for likely young men. -'9"-------- One thing sure, in a year or so we can cross the street without looking both ways to ! see if any cars are coming. Keep smiling! To the Democratic Voters of Gulf County I am deeply grateful for the splendid vote and support given me for Representative in the first primary. I would like to thank the many friends who worked so hard for me. We made a good showing, we had a clean and happy campaign, and I sincerely trust that no word or action of mine created any ill feeling by anyone. The second primary will be held on Tuesday, May 26th, and I earnestly solicit the continued support of all those who saw fit to cast their vote for me on May 5th, and I sincerely solicit the vote of all those who saw fit to vote against me. Should you, by your vote, return me to the office as your Representative, I shall continue to represent all of the people to the very best of my ability. The right to vote and select our officers by secret ballot is one of the most precious rights of a democracy-it is one of the things that our boys, are fighting for across the seas-so, let us all take advantage of this right and cast our ballot for one of the candidates on May 26th. Thank you again for your favor in the past and assuring. you of my sincere gratitude for your vote and. support in the second pirmary, I am, Sincerely yours, E CLAY LEWIS, Jr b~~ r ', There's plenty of fight left in your old electrical appliance aids and \ a way too for them to serve stanchly in National Defense. Instead of letting them grow old sitting up there on the shelf because of the lack of some minor adjustment, take them to your Electrical Dealer and let him put them back in active service. With necessary defense priorities creating new civilian shortages every, day, it becomes a wise precaution and a patriotic duty to take the best possible care of the equipment now in use. Check up on those once willing workers, dust them off, have that cord fixed or whatever is holding up its peak efficiency-let your Elec- trical Dealer help you help yourself and Uncle Sam. Remember, a broken appliance is a handcuffed worker-so get those electrical servants back on active duty-see your Electrical Dealer today!

Betty worked * out her own streamlined! versions of the hula, but retained much of the beauty and smooth-flowing grace of the traditional dance. But best of all, Betty does a se- ries o f elaborate "Production Numbers" which worked out excep- tionally in Technicolor. She sings, in accompaniment to her dancing, the hit numbers which were writ- ten especially, for "Song of the Islands." Co-starred with Betty are Victor Mature and Jack Oakie. Others in the cast are'- Thomas Mitchell, George Barbier, Billy Gibbert and Harry Owens and his Royal Ha- waiians. Mrs. J. M.

CEILING I I Now, and after May 18th (when ceiling prices become effective), all I A&P Super Markets and A&P Food Stores will continue to give you real low prices on fine foods every day, just as they have been doing. The new "ceiling price" regulation will not alter in any way A&P's low price policy. This means that every day at A&P you will continue to get' the best foods the markets afford at our lowest possible prices. And here is another important fact to remember. FOOD PRICES WILL NOT BE IDENTICAL IN ALL FOOD STORES on and after May 18th. Prices will continue to differ in food stores on the same articles--just as they have heretofore. OUR CUSTOMERS SAVE MONEY A&P, during the last eight years, has made big reductions in its operating costs. These savings have been passed along to our customers, so that today they have 9c more of every food dollar to spend than they did in 1933. It is A&P's policy to continue to conduct its business as economically as possible, thus to give you the utmost, for every food dollar you spend at A&P Stores.
