Don't tell that to the Invasion Troops! AMERICA is proud of the. way you answered her call for help. In the First and Second War Loan Drives you opened your hearts- and your purses-and invested generously. But this is no time to say, "Sorry, I've done all I can." Not when our troops are smashing ahead. Not when the cry from every front is for more tanks ... more guns ... more planes to strike the knockout blow. Today, everyone who possibly can, must invest in at least one extra $100 War Bond. More if you possibly can. That's in addition to your regular War Bond subscriptions. A big job? Yes! But INVASION is a big job, too And that's what the 3rd War Loan is for -INVASION! And it's for your loved ones, too ... for the sons and brothers, sweethearts and husbands who are doing the fighting. Can you look into your heart and say to them, "I've done all I can"? Can you tell that to the Invasion Troops? Of course you can't! No true American could! So NOW ... when America needs your help as it never has in all history ... make up your mind to do MORE in September. Invest in the safest way in the world!

Our Country Right or Wrong REDISTRICTING PLAN DRAWS FIRE In commenting on our editorial last week in regard,' to redistricting the county on a more equitable basis-that of population-in which we stated, in regard to the proposal to have two commissioners from the north end of the county, two from the south end and, one from the middle, which is what the We- wahitchkans would like to see, "Man, oh man, but wouldn't we like to be that commissioner from the middle district!! He'd be fawned upon and played up to by both sides to a fare- thee- weli," the Gulf County Breeze has this to say: "The north end of the county is not ask- ing for. redistricting of the county-that pro- posal comes from a few dissatisfied but well-, meaning citizens of St. Joe. "The two commissioners at each end and one in the middle was proposed to give a'plan to really equalize representation on the board.. As to the middle commissioner being for sale to the highest bidder, that is merely an il- lusion of The Star. '.The fact that some people believe St. Joe is not adequately represented on the board is a gross error. Every section of the county now ha's"'ample and intelligent representation. No one commissioner now has to kowtow to three commissioners from another to get something,done in his district. At present, un- der the 'uneven' districting, the harmony which prevails among our county commis- sioners has and is'producing results that the taxpayer is feeling in a very low tax rate,, good roads, a practically debt-free county, money- to operate county affairs, and in- numerable smaller blessings directly attribur-" able to the five men now on the board who represent five sections of the county. We do not believe this harmony and, business main- agement would be probable if three commas- sioners represented one section of the county and two represented the other four sections. "Frankly, The Breeze does not believe the majority of the people of St. Joe want or would tolerate the dissension alnd discord that would come about by three commissioners .serving on the board from St. Joe or any other one section of the county." That all sounds very nice, but let us an- alyze The Breeze's editorial: "That proposal (redistricting) comes from a few dissatisfied citizens of St. Joe." No, brother Hanlon, you're wrong, there. The re- districtingk''proposal comes from a big :ma- jority of the'citizens of Port St. Joe, High- land View and Oak Grove, and-you might be surprised-from a lot of people in Wewa,- hitchka and Overstreet. "The two commissioners at each end and one in the middle was proposed in order to give a plan to really equalize representation on the board." We disagree with that. The plan is proposed as a desperate measure for the north end of the county, which has held control of the board since Gulf county was cut from Calhoun, to possibly hold its control of the board by dominating the commissioner from the middle district, through various. types of pressure, and keeping the balance of power. We know how politics are worked, in this county and just about what type of "pressure" would be put on'the commissioner from the middle district provided he was not hand-picked and supported in his cam- paign for election by our north-end cousins. Incidentally, the editor of The Breeze inad- vertently admits that the present setup is not just and fair when he says "really equalize." He realizes that approximately two-thirds of the people of the county are represented on the board by one commissioner, while one- third of the people of the county are repre- sented by four commissioners. "The fact that some people believe;St. Joe is not adequately represented on the board Is a gross error. Every section of the county now has ample and intelligent representation. No one commissioner, now has to kowtow to three commissioners from another to get something done in his district." We admit that Port St. Joe is adequately and intelli- gently represented on the board by Commis- sioner W. C. Roche, but he "now has to kow- tow to three, commissioners," not from an- other district, but from, three other districts, to get something done in, his district, and then, nine times out of ten, he doesn't get what he wants, but takes what the remainder of the board wants to throw him. "At present, the harmony which prevails among our county commissioners has and Is producing results that the taxpayer is feeling in a very low tax rate, etc. We do not be- lieve this harmony would be probable if three commissioners represented 'one section of the county and two represented the other four sections." As fhr as harmony is concerned, yes-harmony between those commissioners who control the board. In -order to preserve this "harmony," Commissioner Roche is com- pelled to vote "aye" on many measures that he is opposed to in order to keep that har- mony and garner the few. crumbs that are- tossed his way as appeasement. As far as "producing results that the taxpayer is feel- ing in a very low tax rate, etc," the same thing would have occurred regardless of whether three of the commissioners were from the south end of the county and two from the north end, or vice versa. I "Frankly, The Breeze does not believe the majority of the people of St. Joe want or would tolerate the dissention and discord that would come about by three commissioners serving on the board from St. Joe or any other one section of the county." Brother, just come down here and talk to the voters! We're having a hard time convincing"em that it wouldn't be a good idea at this time to move the county seat down here, Through- out our nation the government is conducted by representatives of the people on the basis of population, and that is what the people of this section want and are going to get. Here is a clever hit on much of our present day sales talk: "The safety razor enabled us to save so much money that we bought a washing machine, which. saved so much money that we bought a refrigerator, which saved so much money that we bought an au- tomobile, which saved us so much money that we bought a house, which saved so much, money that we. now own the washing ma- chine outright and have to make only a few more payments on the refrigerator and the automobile, and 180 payments on the house." -Imperial Magazine. Those persons, organizations and newsla- pers that shouted "Keep out of the war at all cost-we haven't a chance against Germany," are now arguing for a "negotiated peace." All of which would seem to point to the fact ,that they have pro-Germani leanings, or they might be in the direct pay of the Hitlerian gunman government. It wouldn't surprise us :, hit to see Charles Lindbergh hop up on a soap. box and start shouting: "Stop the fight- ing. Let our boys come home. Let's do busi- ness with Hitler. Let's have a negotiated peace." Keep smiling-and buy War Bonds!
