I AM your friend and my love for you goes deep. There is nothing I can give which you have not got; but there is much, very much, that, while I cannot give it, you can take. No heaven can come to us unless our hearts find rest in today. TAKE HEAVEN! No peace lies in the future which is 'not hidden in this present little instant. : TAKE PEACE. The gloom of the world is but a shadow. 'Behind it, yet within reach, 'is JOY. There is radiance and glory in the darkness, could we but see-and to See we have only to Look. I beseech you to look. Life is so generous a giver, but we, judg- ing its gifts by their .covering, cast them away as ugly or heavy or hard. Remove the covering and you will find beneath it a living splendor, woven of love, by wisdom, witin power. Welcome it, grasp it, and you touch the Angel's hand that brings it to you. Every- thing we call a trial, a sorrow, or a duty, be- lieve me, that Angel's hand is there; the gift 'is there, too; be not content with them an Joys. They, too, conceal diviner gifts. Life is so full of Meaning and Purpose, so full of Beauty-beneath its covering-that .you will find earth but cloaks your heaven. Courage then to claim it: that is all! but courage you have; and the knowledge that we are pilgrims together, wending, through unknown country, home. And so, at this Christmas time, I greet you Not quite as the world sends greetings, but with profound esteem and with the Prayer that for you, now and forever, the day breaks, and the shadows flee away.

FRED PERRY, Plaintiff, vs. VIVIAN PERRY, Defendant. *Notice is hereby given that the undersigned, as attorney for the plaintiff Fred Perry, will on the 16th day of January, 1943, at 10 o'clock A. M., make application to the Clerk of the above named court for commission to take the testimony of Fred Perry, 'wvitnesb in his own behalf. Original writ- ten interrogatories to be pro- pounded- to said witness are on file with said clerk. The reason the testimony of said witness is to be taken upon commission is that said witness is about to be bound on a voyage to sea. The name of the commissioner to be named, on behalf of the plaintiff is Honor- able Albert Meranda, c/o Citizens Trust Building, Jeffersonville, In- diana. This 22nd day of Decem- ber, 1942. E. CLAY LEWIS, JR., Attorney for plaintiff 12-25 1-15 Fred Perry. UNTIL THE BELLS RING We wish to call to the attention of mem- bers of the Gulf County Civilian Defense unit that methods of combating fires set by incendiary bombs have undergone drastic change. This is because incendiary bombs art war weapons, and war weapons are con- stantly changing. Present fire bombs usually contain delayed explosives which detonate long after impact. Former practices in hand- ling these missiles are exceedingly dangerous because they require a close approach by the fire fighter. Director James M. Landis of the Office ot Civilian Defense, observes that: "Use of a jet of water enables the operator to work at a much greater distance than the 'short range' methods employing s a n d, other smothering agents, or a spray of water. Sand in the form of bags or mats cannot be de- pended upon, because these bombs, upon ex- plosion, have a greater fragmentation effect than the explosive incendiary bombs formerly used. The public should be warned against the use of, all such smother agents as 'bomb extinguishing' powders; also against such de- vices as scoops, grabs and snuffers% They are entirely without merit, and may endanger the lives of persons who depend upon them. The use of spray and ;sand is no longer recommended because the .possibility of frag- mentation makes it too dangerous to approach the bomb sufficiently close to apply them." So no longer are we required to keep a bucket of sand and a scoop under our beds. A direct stream of water is now recom- mended as the best means of controlling an incendiary bomb. An ordinary garden hose is suitable, but stay as far away as possible and assume a crouching or prone position behind the best available cover. Enemy raids are a constant possibility. Vigilance can not be permitted to fluctuate with the war news. Remember, a raid may come when it is least expected, and with the gasoline emergency now prevailing on the eastern seaboard, Port St. Joe with its vital. gasoline storage and pumping facilities which aid in supplying the vital fluid by pipeline for trans-shipment to our armies in Africa, would be as liable for a bombing as any other eastern point. So until the bells of armistice ring, the public, as well as auxiliary firemen and wardens, must remain grimly alert. A lot of men today making $100 a week, who never made over $30 a week before, and who are spending it faster than they make it, are going to realize when it's too late, thai they should have put at least $50 a week into War Bonds. Keep smiling! "The Stars and iSitripes," service newspaper published iby the Am- erican Expeditionary Force during World War I, had a circulation of 522,000 at th'e height of its popu- larity. It is being published again during this war. "A Letter from- Home," -that's what The Star is to the men in service. Send it! Only $1 a year.

Fight! Fight!" by Jewel Faircloth, second prize. Both girls are in the ninth grade. As there were no contestants in the senior high school, a runner- up prize was also awarded. Prizes were War Stamps to the. value of one dollar. Col. R. Don McLeod of Apalachr- cola juftged the entries, and he stated that there was not a great deal of room for choice in making the selections, and he complih- mented highly the interesting en- tries submitted. Winners in the Washington high school (colored) were Bomore Thomas' "Americanism," first, ano Marjorie Jones' "Gallant Sons of Freedom;" second. The chairmen of the two de- partments of the Woman's club desire to thank those who co- operated in the contest, and. add their congratulations to the win- ners. The winning poems are printed below. The two entries from Wash- ington high will appear in a later issue. OLD GLORY IS WAVING ABOVE By Jewel McMullen High in the sky U. S. planes are flying For freedom of country we love. On the battlefield the soldiers are dying And Old Glory is waving above. We're buying bonds and stamps To destroy tnile .IlapauLesie t lrail We're building tanks and 'guns To sink the Rising Sun's, And 01b1 Gloryi is waving above. The Star Spangled Banner is wav- ing high; The planes are. in the sky. Listen to tne cannons roar! We knew the boys would make the score While Old Glory. waves above. God will watch over his own, And what a happy day 'twill be When the boys come marching home. Th.ere'll be freedom on land and sea. And Old "Glory will be waving above. FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT! By Jewel Faircloth When this cruel tar is over And the victory we have won, Then Old Glory will be planted On every land. beneath the sun. For the precious right of freedom We will fight! Fight! FigAt! Then our prayers will all be an- swered, And the boys will all come home; We will have the right to say: "Old Glory is our own." Then to keep her forever waving We must fight! Fight! Fight!

Not Christmas "as usual," but a day that brings now, more than ever, a keener appre- ciation of its real significance of gen- erosity and good-will and the hope of peace. Part of our duty at home is to keep those in- stitutions and ideals alive which are the foun- dation of our way of life to be an inspiration for those who are far from home fighting on foreign shores. And today, we have more reason than ever to observe Christmas with a new awareness of its im- portance as a spirit which makes life worth living this day and every .day. We hope that those of your family now in the service of our country were fortunate enough to be able to return home for Christ- mas, and if not whoever they are, wherever they are the hearts ot every American are with them. So let good fellowship run high, and let the holly and the mistletoe permanently bind our hearts, to hold the spirit of Clristmas thrun- out this and ,every year.
