NEW MANAGER FOR.
DANLEY STORE HERE

John Blount, who has been
manager of the Danley Furmiture
Company store here since it was
opened six years ago, this week
resigned his position to go to
work in the shipyards at Panama
City. John still has a connection
with the store and will be found
there occasionally during bis off
hours.
New manager of the store is
Ophrah Moore, who comes here
from the Danley store at DeFuniak
Springs. He has a full knowledge
of the furniture business and is
an affable and cheery sort of per-
son. We suggest that you drop
in at the Danley store next tim-
you're uptown and meet Mr. Moore
-you'll like him-we did.

CHRISTMAS SEALS GO ON SALE
Beginning this week the tuberculosis
Christmas Seal sale committee of the Gulf
County Tuberculosis and Health association,
under the direction of H. H. Saunders, be-
gan mailing envelopes of Christmas Seals to
hundreds of persons in Gulf county. It is an
annual affair that has grown in popularity
and importance in the program of tubercu-
losis prevention.
Christmas Seals are not a charity. They
are far more than charity. Through their
sale most of the fight in prevention of tuber-
culosis is carried on. It is a means of per-
sonal protection against tuberculosis for every
individual and family in Gulf county and the
i state of Florida. Every serious case of tu-
berculosis that is stopped means that hun-
dieds of other people will not be subjected
to the dread disease.
The tuberculosis association is the public's
guarantee of an adequate program., of com-
munity protection. Here' is an organization
that does not stick to one pattern of activity.
It changes its; program to meet changing
needs. The developing of" the program has
placed Gulf county in a class by itself in the
effective control of tuberculosis. Most of the
money locally, hag been spent in education
work that has borne fruit both among whites
and negroes.
Tuberculosis still exacts a heavy toll-60,-
000 died last year in the United States from
the disease. It kills more persons between
15 and 45 than any other disease.
The people of Gulf county have always
given hearty support to .the Christmas Seal
drive and there is every indication that this
year there will be even greater support. There.
is need for renewed efforts toward the pre.
vention of tuberculosis now because history
has taught that the disease reaches its high-
est peak during and immediately following
periods c war-and- national -upheaval.

,-THE"V U IT.
The Third War Loan drive went over in
Gulf county in a big' .way; and we feel sure it
gave every citizen a great deal of satisfac-
tion, but we understand that during the past
six weeks the sale of bonds has dropped off.
We should all realize that we have not yet
reached the stopping point, but have gained
only one small objective.
In other words, the bond buyer has con-
solidated a beach head, but the enemy must
still be driven out. We may have to hesitate
a short time until supplies and reinforce-
ments can be brought up, but we must keep'
sniping at the enemy with our regular peri-
odic purchases of bonds and stamps or we
.will be driven back and our hard-won gains
lost.
Many a good soldier has lost a fight be-
cause he ran out of ammunition. The Ameri-
can. bond buyer has certainly not run out of
ammunition, and he is going to see to it
that the men doing the fighting do not. So
it is time to start the invasion with dollars.

,TIE IN AMERICA have a lot to be thankful for this year.
VY This is the one great nation that has not been laid
waste' by war.
Our boys are fighting in the jungles of the South Seas
and ji the villages of Italy that our own Main Streets may
not come battle fields. By their sacrifices they have held
the warfront thousands of miles beyond our shoreline.
They deserve our deepest gratitude-a gratitude we
; should express in work rather than in words.
, Bts-back up these fighting men in a very practical
w*iy."day there is a great shortage of pulpwood. Pulp-
wood has a thousand-and-one war uses-from explosives
to shipping containers.
And since this is a pulpwood-cutting community, we
have been asked to cut an extra cord of pulpwood in
honor of every local boy in service.
This is a small thing to ask of us-small'in comparison
with what our boys are doing. One extra cord for every
boy who went to war from the pulp-
wood areas will be enough to meet t M II

Well, folks, we just finished
our six weeks' test, and you know
what that means-nobody is feel-
ing very wall today. Thanksgiving
came at a good time this year.
We can be thankful that the tests
are gone.
We lost the football game with
Bristol last Friday 36 to 6, but
since there are no lessons to get
we know our boys will win when
we play Cove High.

port said. Post-war requirements
are certain to demand the develop-
ment of a number of Florida air-
ports witfF 7000-foot runways, the
improvement of practically every
one, of its existing ports, the de-
velopment of "feeder" ports, and
the construction of ports .for the
use of private fliers. The mass
growth of aviation depends muchdy
on the building of small fields for
privately-owned planes.
Florida air carriers in 1942, the
report revealed, transported 327,-
540 revenue paying passengers, a
decrease of only about 12 per cent
of 1941's air travel in spite of the
fact that the federal government
requisitioned nearly half the air-
lines' planes in May 1942. The
amount of express carried (thru-
out the nation) in 1942 more than
doubled that of 1941.
