Our Comutry y It or Wrong GIVE THANKS, THEN SWING THE AXE More than 300 years ago our ancestors solemnly observed Thanksgiving despite the knowledge that the days and years ahead could.only bring what Winston. Churchill has since described as "blood and sweaf and tears." Yet out of their faith and toil came Sthe great and powerful United States of 'America. This year Thanksgiving Day finds us again' faced with bitter days ahead, but also withI *the. faiththat if each of us does his full part, -next year will bring much more to be thank- "fil for. " Victory is in sight in Europe, and the Jap- .anese have begun the slow but sure retreat to Tokio. Now is the time to give thanks, but, like the pioneers, to 'keep our hands on our mus- kets'. This is no time for smugness. It is a time to FIGHT and WORK. Gulf county can do a whole lot to .make Victory:. sure by cutting the pulpwood to keep the mill, of the St Joe Paper company going full tilt tutirhng out those. essential . materials of war on which Uncle Sat de- pends. Our own boys, for whom Thanksgiv- ing this year is but a memory, are depending on us, too. So let's put over the drive to "Cut-a-Cord of Pulpwood for Every Local Boy in Service." A Californian predicts that the world will come to an end on December 25, 1943. Well, that takes care of.the aspirations of Wendell Willkie and also the matter of President Roosevelt's fourth term. Doughty, elderly Al Smith. said in a recent speech that he wanted to be in Berlin and Tokio when our victorious troops marched through the streets so he could shout at the bystanders, "Look at those champions, you suckers; that's what you tried to lick!". Looks like you can buy anything on the black market except happiness and content- fmient. STARDUST and MOONSHINE By THE OTHER FELLOW I have just been informed by Ye Ed that my space will be some- what limited this week due to a press of advertising, and so I am going to devote most of that space to some unsung heroines right here in Port St. Joe. They are Hazel Darcey, Mildred 'Cossett, Lou Span, Mrs. Flora Belle Jones and Mrs. T. .S. Singletary. You' probably know most of the five ladies, but do you know why I'm singling them out for praise? Well, they are the telephone girls at the local exchange, ah'd what they ,have to &itlt up with is a cau- tion. If' you've ever seen the workings of a telephbile 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.
