Committees Are

Formed to Raise

War Loan Quota

Horace Soule Named Chairman
Of Drive Starting Next

.Following the meeting Monday
at which Carl Lehmann -explained
the setup for the Third War Loani
drive, a meeting was held Tuesday
I evening at the' city hall with the
new bond drive chairman, Horace
W. Soule, presiding, and plans de-
veloped to put GulT county "over
tile top" during September. Quota
for the county is $56,000.
Opening the, meeting, Mr. Soule
explained what was necessary to
| be done and why, stating that
"every man and woman here to-
night has got to get behind this
drive, heart,, body and soul, be-
cause we're going to raise that
$56,000 and a lot more besides."'
"Every committee member has a
moral and personal job to go out:
and' convince everyone that it is
their obligation to ;buy these I
bonds," said Soule%. "Point out to
them that it is not only helping!
the war effort. 'But thatit is greatly
to their benefit, for if they don'tI
buy bonds they'll have to pay it I
in taxes, and they won't get it
back.. The government has. to have
a certain 'amount, and if it isn'tI
subscribed in bonds, the amount
lacking will be collected in taxes." i
,S. L. Barke explained the vari-
ous types of bonds, stressing the
fact that only "E" bonds can be
issued by the local bank :and the
postoffice. All other type of bond's
must be ordered from the federal
reserve bank and will take from
a week to ten days. to secure.

The spoken word is given scant attention; the printed word

the printed word thoroughly convinces. The spoken word
is lost; the printed word remains.

Our Country ` Right or Wrong

LET'S BE WORTHY OF OUR SONS
We on the home front in Gulf county face
-a personal challenge during the next few
weeks. That challenge is whether or not we
are willing to sacrifice.to a sufficient extent
to >le id--not give-our government $56,000.
That's our personal share of the $117,000,000
goil set for Florida and of the $15,000,000,000
national goal a goal that will never be
reached -unless each community and each in-
,dividual accept this as a patriotic privilege.
'Too..rais,; this $56,000-we failed woefully
in Selling our quota of $120,000 in the April
drive, contributing only $38,200-we are go-
ing 'to have to dig down in our sock-to dig
'out some of those dollars we have salted
away for a rainy day-as well as to take a
good hunk out of this month's pay check.
This is a job that HAS to be done. Sure, we
on the home front are feeling the pinch of
war. We have gaosline rationing, food ration-
ing, higher taxes and a lot of other little
discomforts. But they are nothing compared
with the agonies faced daily by our men from
Gulf county out there on the fighting fronts
of the world.
We know that this constant demand for
more -money out of our pockets and out of
our paychecks an increasing amount each
month-is monotonous. But so is sitting in a
fox-hole or lying in a slit-trench day after
,day, or slogging through the hell of a humid
jungle in the South Pacific or the blistering
sand of the Sahara.
Our sons, friends, brothers, husbands and
others we know are doing that for us. They
are facing something more terrible than cut-
ting down on a few things that we once
thought were essentials to the' Americax,
standard of- living in order to do it, too. As
Secretary Morgenthau has said: "Shall we
i'be more tender with our dollars than with
.the lives of our sons?"
The Third War Loan is an order to the
-home front to go on a new offensive-for in-
vasion. Your dollars are the weapons to be
used in this attack. They will make possible
the passing of the ammunition to those Gulf
,county boys up there in the front lines. To
win this war is going to cost more and more
money-and more and more lives. But the
price of freedom is high. We can not, we
dare not, let our fighting men down.
You can't let George do this for you. You
-must pitch in with your dollars. Just keep in
mind those Gulf county boys in the front
lines. They give their lives-you lend your
-money! Don't wait for someone to come
around and ask you to do it. Do it today-
and do it until you feel worthy of them.


Once upon a time there was a soldier who
-was planning to cash in his War Bonds and
make a trip to a nearby city. He had a dream
-that night that changed his mind. It seems he
was in a foxhole, picking off Japs in large and
satisfying numbers. Suddenly a sergeant
tapped him on the shoulder and took his rifle
from him. "What's the idea, Sarge?" he asked.
The sergeant replied, "The guy that lent us
the money for this rifle wants it back."-
-Kissimmee Gazatte.


A TRIBUTE TO 'LABOR
How many people of Port St. Joe, while
they are enjoying the Laboi Day holiday next
Monday, will pause to think that they are
paying tribute to the millions of American
workers who produce the comforts and con-
veniences that we call our "'high standard of
living" and who produce the materiel that is
so vital in overcoming the Axis and bringing
this war to a victorious co clusion?
Tribute is due to those workers. Without
their efforts there would be -no planes, tanks,
ships, guns and ammunition' to carry on the
war; no automobiles, radios or movies to
make the Labor Day holiday enjoyable. Yet
why are they able to produce all those
things ? Because somebody else supplies them
with materials and tools and the job of pro-
ducing.
We sometimes wonder i! on Labor Day we'
shouldn't pay a little tribute, too, to the mil-
lions of citizens whose pennies and dimes and
dollars make it possible to produce the good
things of life. Because it is only through the
co-operation of those citizens and the work-
ers that we have anything to celebrate. on
Labor Day.

TOMORROW MAY BE TOO LATE
How often the expression is heard today:
"Be careful! You can't replace it." That warn-
ing has been applied to everything from pins
to tractors. Never was the American public
so waste conscious. Yet, in une vital respect
it is still far too careless. That .respect is fire.
Millions of dollars worth of property and
thousands of lives are lost annually by pre-
ventable fires.
It is an ironical fact that the man who cares
for his car like an only child, will very often
not hesitate to leave that car in a garage
alive with fire hazards. And the housewifee
who guards with similar diligence the wel- I
fare of the electric range or refrigerator, will
blithely disregard the commonest fire hazarca
.such as frayed wiring, trash in the attic, open
'fireplaces and carelessly strewn matches.
* Fire can wipe out a home and every "irre-
placeable" object in it in a matter of minutes.
Some of those irreplaceable obTects may DeC
human lives. Of the 10,000 persons who were
burned to death in the United States ifi 1942,
two-thirds perished in homes.
Fire prevention, like charity, should start
at home and spread in widening circles until
each person is doing his utmost to prevent
destructive fire anywhere in his community.
Fire department officials are only too glad to
point out potential hazards to the uninformed.
Start now to protect your "irreplaceables"
against fire. Tomorrow may be too late.

DOUBLE TALK
There are persons who have a gift for
what may be called the wolf sentence in
sheep's clothing. It is not double talk,- exactly,
It sounds innocent enough until you begin to
think it over and find out what it means. Then
it is apt to drive you loony, if you haven't
enough strength of character to banish it
from your mind.
The classic example is attributed to Dave
Clark of Broadway who once, during an argu-
ment, is reported to have exclaimed, "Well, I
may be wrong but I'm not far from it!"
It was Mr. Clark who almost unsettled the
reason of the late Addison Mjizner years ago.
Mizner met Dave on Broadway and asked
him about the merits of a new play that had
just opened,.and was it worth seeing.
"Oh, dori''rmiss it if you can," urged Clark.
Mizner thought that over for a few minutes
and then ran screaming up Broadway.
A cherished friend of ours once glimpsed a
lovely little mountain lake with evergreens
growing down to its very water line.
"Look!" she exclaimed. "The lake comes
right up to the shore!"
Another cherished friend recently said to
us, "You know, I'm a split personality, all in
owe."-P. M. Magazine.


Keep smiling-and buy War Bonds!


STARDUST and

MOONSHINE

By THE OTHER FELLOW


I noticed this 'week that Editor
Bill was wearing a pair of worn
and patched work pants, and face-
titiously asked, him why he didn't
throw 'em away and buy a new
pair. I felt kinda small
when he replied: "I could, but I
don't mind wearing a few patches
-especially when -I can take that
money for a new pair of pants and
apply it on a War Bond. The peo-
ple of England are wearing, and
have been wearing for two years,
clothes that a r e, patched anra
mended to a point where most ot
us probably, would, refuse to bt
seen in them-it would 'hurt our
pride.' Well, when it comes .to
pride, I've got just as much as. the
next fellow, Vut I'm shelving my
personal pride, for the duration
and if I can get another six week
or six months wear out of -these
pants I have on I'll feel that I've
contributed a few more bullets to
our boys out there on the fighting
fronts. I know what they're up
against, and by wearing these
pants a little longer and investing
just a little more in War Bonds
I feel that I've knocked off pos-
sibly a couple of Japs or Germans
with those' few extra bullets."
To which I had nothing to say,
but it reminded- me that in Eng-
land, a man with one clothing cou-
pon can buy -two handkerchiefs
or one necktie or one-fourth of iL
bathing suit-and a complete new
suit takes more -than half a year's
coupon allowance. Guess
I'll start wearing a few patohea
clothes myself.
Was meandering down the pike
the other day and ran into two new
fathers-Vic Anderson and J. Ed
George. Congratulated both of 'em
and demanded, my cigars, but
neither produced. Coudl be that
the custom of giving out cigars
is a thing of the past. When m>
four kids were born it cost me in
the neighborhood of six boxes of
cigars, if I remember correctly.
And speaking of fathers reminds
me of a little' story-"cute," the
women would probably call it:
"Flossie," remarked he'r mother,
to the little girl sitting with va.
cant expression an4 chewing her
pencil, "you seem to be taking an
awful long time in getting that
letter written to daddyy"
"Yes'm." replied Flossie, "I'm
spellbound."
And somehow or other I always
associate children and dogs to-
gether, probably because when I
was a kid I always had a dog. I
like dogs, but my neighbor has a
dog-one of those little bundles
of wire-haired nerves guaranteed
to make more, noise in a one-min-


ute session than six mastiffs and
three Newfoundlandd mastodons
could, make in a week.
As the- dog is apparently a lover
of nature, my neighbor allows him
the run of her back yard. There
he, runs, capers, digs at the fence,\
barks at all passersby, the moo-,
his shadow, his doggy thoughts and
the falling raindrops.
As I said 'before, I'm a lover of
dogs, and I enjoyed the first 500
barks. I tolerated the next 500. I
exhausted my supply of bolts, nuts,
soap remnants and, salt cellars a
week later, and was. seriously con-
sidering heaving my alarm clock
and my shoes.
But the dog still barks-although
he doesn't bark still. The owner
-thoughtless or defiant, we can't
say-permits this public nuisance
to annoy half a dozen neighbors
and, friends, who refrain from re.
potfing the canine through the
kindness of their hearts.
,There are dogs like that-every-
where. There are owners like that
-everywhere. What I'd like to do
is give them a town of their own
and let them bark.

Health of Children Better;
Accidents Take Big Toll

The nation's death rate among
white children between the ages
of 5 and 14 has been cut in halt
in the last 15 years, according to
the report of a leading life insur-
ance company, which comments
that this high level among school
children is particularly fortunate
in a' country at war.
Evidence of room for improve-
ment is found, however, in the fact
that mortality among school chil-
dren in the Southwestern and
Western states exceeds that of
the northwestern section by 25 to
more than 50 per cent. Accidents
still' cause more than a quarter or
all deaths among school-age chil-
dren; the fatal-injury toll is
greater than the combined total
deaths from the five leading
causes of natural death in child-
hood. In 1940 more, than two-fifths
of, the children's deaths from ae-
cidents were caused by motor ve-
hicles, and an additional one-fifth
were drownings.

TOUGH BABIES
Two Gurkha soldiers, who had
volunteered for service with India's
sky troops, asked an N. C> 0.:
"From what height are we sup-
posed to jump?"
"Five hundred feet," was the
reply.
"Nothing doing," they'said, "it's
too 'high. Can't we try from 300
feet?"
,The non-com-missioned officer
explained that from such a low
height there was danger of the
parachutes not opening in time.
The Gurkhas broke into smiles,
and said: "Oh. that's different. We
get parachutes, do we?"-Tit-Bits.

REAL D iiTOR

HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE
Dangerous High Blood Pressure
(Essential Hypertension) is usually
marked by- distressing symptoms
such as dizziness, throbbing head-
acles, sleeplessness and nervous-
.ness. If disregarded, this may lead
'to Heart Trouble, Stroke, Paralysis,
Hardening of the Arteries or Kid-
ney Trouble. 'Diamoniex, discovery
of a heart specialist, is designed to
quickly aid in the relief of these
distressing symptomss"
A Chicago resident says: "I suf-
fered from High Blood Pressure for
several years with increasingly
severe throbbing headaches, dizzi-
ness and shortness- of breath. I
showed the Diamonex formula to
my doctor and, on his advice, tried
the treatment for two weeks under
identical' conditions as previous
treatments. Within only three days
my bad headaches and dizzy spells
were gone. My high blood pressure
was reduced and I sleep fine.",
Diamonex goes directly to work
in three-different ways to aid in
the relief of these dangerous symp-
toms. Results are speedy-within
as short a time as two weeks suf-
ferers often find that Diamonex has
accomplished 75% of the total re-
duction possible with this formula.

Pressure you may try DIAMONEX
without risking a penny. To intro-
duce this wonderful treatment to
a million new sufferers this liberal
