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.

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 FARM WORK CREATES CITY JOBS Every person in farm work creates Jobs for two others, such as grocery clerks, sten- ographers, barbers, salesmen, etc. Thus 50,000 on farms, which is easily feasible, means jobs for another 100,- 000.

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 wondered why a An optimist Is a guy who offers costly lace abouL a $10 reward for the return of $100 s and then, throw he ,has lost, VS'.
