Delegations From Port St. Joe ahel
Wewahitchka Reach Accord
After Petition Presented

Appearing before the board ot
county commissioners, at Wewa-
hitchka last week, Horace Soum,
T. H. Stone and. B. H. Dickens pro.
sen-ted a petition for redistricting
Gulf county to give the southern
portion of the county more equit-
a.ble representation on the boara,
the petition bearing the signatures
of 1486 qualified voters.
Members of the board diiscus.sea
the matter and the Port St. )oe
delegation was heard, as were
representative citizens of Wewa-
hitchka who were opposed to the
redistricting plan as outline.
Commissioner W. R. Connell
then made' a motion, seconded by
Commissioner J. S. Daniel, thai
the election be called as, provided
by law, which, being put to a vote,
was unanimously carried.
As the special law passed by
the last legislature provides that
a second plan for redistricting
may be submitted after the board
orders the election, Commissiioner
Daniel moved that when, and at
such .time as the secondI petition
is submitted, that date for the
election be set. Tisis -otion -was
also unanimously carried.
Thursday night of last week, at
the suggestion of County Attorney
E. Clay Lewis Jr., a delegation
from Wewahitchka, made up of R.
G. Redfearn., Dave Gaskin, Claude
Lister, Charlie Morgan and Dr.
Thomas Meriwether, met with a
Port St. Joe delegation compose*
of Honace Soule, B. H. Dickens, W.
S. Smith, C. G. Costin and. W. C.
Forehand to talk over the, two rei
districting plans and work out a
compromise, plan which would' be
suitable to both sections of the
county.
Both plans were practically iden-
tical with exception of the pro-
posed Overstreet district. The St.
Joe p'an included' Highlandi View,
Kenney'si Mill and half o'f White
City in this district,'while the We-
wahitchka plan included all of the
White City precinct, but threw
Kenney's Mill and Highland View
into one of the Pont St. Joe dis-
tricts.
This was the main point of dis-
agreement, 'but after several hours
of discussion, refereeds by Attorney
Lewis, a compromise was reached
whereby Highland View would re-
main in the Overstreet district,
Kenney's Mill would be placed In
one of the Pont St. Joe districts,
and all of White City would be In
the= Overstreet district.
Under provisions of the law
both plans must be submitted to
the voters, and' the two delega-
iions agreed) that Plan No. 2 (tlhe
revised compromise plan) would
be supplaoted by everyone and that
Plan No. 1 (the original plan sub-
nitted for calling the election)
would be disregarded. In this way

Our Country 1 Right or Wrong

WAR PRICE BOARD DUE AN APOLOGY
Give some people a little authority and it
seems to go to their heads. And that seems
to be the case with some representatives from
the OPA office at Jacksonville. One will drop
in at the Gulf County War Price and Ration-
ing Board office and instruct the clerks to
keep their records in such and such a man-
ner, and the next one to come through will
order the books kept by a different method.
Naturally, such counter-orders keep the over-
worked clerks in a dither and cause many un-
necessary hours of additional labor.
But the crowning insult came last week
when one of these authority-laden, pompous
QPA representatives (probably one of those
ducks who thinks the world owes him a liv-
ing and pulls political strings to land a soft
job with big pay) barged into the local board
office, looked over the records and told Mr.
Charlie McClellan that "the Gulf -county
board stinks."
Such a crude remark might be overlooked
if made by a ditch-digger or a Bowery bum,
but wlen1 it 'comes .from an individuaf'who
draws his pay from the pockets of the tax-
paye rs. there iss-no.,,excuse- for it.
The men who make up the war price.and"
rationing board are public-spirited citizens
endeavoring to do their bit toward the war
effort. They draw no salary, get no praise,
take valuable hours off from their business
to aid the OPA program, and get damned by
everybody who is refused extra gasoline ra-
tions, tires or ten extra pounds of sugar.
And yet this nincompoop from the Jack-
sonville OPA office has the effrontery to say

A PLEA TO HOME ROOM MOTHERS


(U'ust Editorial By Louise Porter, Chairman Home Room Mothers)
As you probably know, there is a project
underway to improve in some interesting,
practical or inspirational way, the existing
conditions of our children's class rooms. This
project has the approval of your P.-T. A.,
your principal, your county superintendent
and the wholehearted support of your chil-
dren's teachers.
In the interest of this program that has
been instigated, may 1 say this: This is our
opportunity to serve. Your opportunity and
my opportunity to serve the children of to-
day who will be the citizens of tomorrow.
At the very longest, it is ,just a few short
years that our children are entrusted to our
care. It is our duty to provide ,for them as
good a home as we can, and it is also our
duty to be interested in improving the school
in which they spend six and one-half hours
of each day.
These children of ours are in their forma-
tive, impressionable years, when beauty, high
standards and ideals can most easily be
molded into their pliable minds. Now-today,
they are receptive for every good that we
can give them.
It is true we are late getting underway
with our project. We have only three more
months of this school term. But that is three
whole months in the lives of 600 children.
Three whole months that they will never
have the opportunity to re-live. In the years
to come, when they become adults, they may
look back to these three months and be most
grateful to you for the flower you planted in
the garden of their heart and memory.
We do not know how long this dreadful
conflict of war is going to last; we do not
know how much harder and sadder the next
few years are going to be; we do not know
how many of those 600 children are going to
be drawn into the actual conflict. But we do
know this: It is their shoulders that are go-
ing to have to help reshape and rebuild the
debris and devastation that this war is creat-
ing. Theirs is going to be a crushing burden

imagination and' inspiration to see
them through. It may be too late
for us, to help then.
There is a quotation from Phil-

seems to, fit this opportunity to
perfection: "H.e who helps a child
helps humanity with an immedl-

to human creature in any other
stage of life can possibly give

Think it over, mothers. Each of

Your RED CROSS is at his side.


In every war theater, in every train-

Hyman Epstein knew that after wounding a man the Japs around Sanananda
were withholding their fire, using the injured soldier for bait until unarmed
medical aides like himself came into range. Yet again and,again he crept out
under sniper fire to rescue wounded comrades until at last the Japs got him.

EDstein. Are you buying War Bonds as determinedly?
