County Election

For Redistricting

Occurs Tuesday

Voters Urged to Study -Ballot Very
Carefully and to Vote for
Plan No. Two

The voters of Gulf county will go
to the polls, next Tuesday to cast
their ballots for or against the
proposition to nedis'trict the conlity
into more equitably divided com -
missioners' districts, based on pop-
ulation, thus giving every part of
the county due representation o.
the governing body.
Two plans will be found on the
ballot. The original plan, sub-
mitted by residents of the south
portion of the county, is labeled
Plan.No. 1. This was presented to
the' board of commissioners in or-
der that an election might be
called.
The law provides that other re-
districting plans may be submitted
and residents of the north end of
the county worked out a plan of
the way they thought the new dis*
tricts should 'be laid' out. This plan
varied but slightly from the first
plan, and so delegations from each
section of the county got together
and worked out a compromise re-
districting plan, each side giving
and taking a little. 4
This is, "Plan No. 2" on the bal-
lot and is the one voters are asked
to mark. But-and nere I~'-a im-
portant point to remember when
voting-in order that the county
be redist,'icted, voters must also
vote "Yes" on Question No. 1 on
the ballot, which authorizes the

and absorbing lecture as the
showing of the films progressed.

Jimmy said he just couldn't hear

that he. had "a frog in his throat"

sing so good. Very lame, we'd say,
but everyone said that the singing
was probably better, anyway. Ki-

"Why bother alM those busy

So here's the question: "What's

And here's the answer in one
word: "Electricity."
Look at the last item in these re-
cent cost-of-living figures from the
U. S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (re-
printed at right). Considering how
many household jobs electricity
does daily, that's a rather startling
statistic.
Then remember that electricity is

LEGISLATIVE VETERANS ARE NEEDED
* Tallahassee, home of the biennial sessions
of the Florida legislature, will watch this
year's elections with keen interest because
many of the men we have come to know so
well and favorably have opposition in their
bids for re-election. Tallahasseeans know the
importance of seniority in the legislature,
and they know how vital it is that men of
sound judgment make the laws for this great
state.
Veterans are important in the legislature
because they usually draw the top assign-
merits .as committee chairmen, and the fresh-
men members look to the veterans, in whom
they have confidence, for sound counsel and
leadership. *
Some of the veterans of 1943 and prior
sessions have voluntarily withdrawn because
of military service or for other reasons. Some

of the others who carried so much of the load
of work in enacting the laws of the past two
sessions that effectuated Governor Holland's
excellent program for the state are opposed
for renomination.
There are opponents against such outstand-
ing leaders as Clay Lewis of Gulf, former
speaker; L. C. Leedy of Orange, Mabry Carl
ton of Duval, Harry McDonald of Hillsbor-
ough, John Bollinger of Palm Beach, Tom
Dowda of Putnam and Joe Scales of Taylor.
We do not claim to know the qualifications
of the opponents of these men, but we can
speak with cerainty of the splendid leader-
ship qualities of the men seeking re-election.
Bill Leedy, for instance. His colleagues love
him for his forthright attitude and admire
him for his keen abiilty to weed out the good
proposals from the bad, quickly kill .the bad
and help guide the good to passage..
Leedy can say "no" to an unsound idea as
firmly as a banker declining a loan of uncer-
tain security. He is just as positive when he
believes a project is for the good of the state.
In past sessions Bill Leedy was an outstand-
ing leader among those who worked for con-
structive legislation.
Clay Lewis is another of those fellows who
think in terms of what will help his state and
his county. Like Leedy, Lewis has served in
many sessions, and he and Leedy certainly
will draw important committee chairmanships
in 1945 so that their abilities may be used
fully.-Tallahassee News-Democrat.
To this editorial of the Tallahassee paper
the editor of The Star can add little, except
to say to the voters of Gulf county that, for
the good not only of our county, but our
state, Clay Lewis should be returned as our
representative in the forthcoming May 2
primary.

housing 1000 sick and wounded
soldiers, Pepper said, and "tbe
man in the street cannot escape
the, feeling that the. hospital is be-
ing given up because some con-
sider it too good foir wounded sol-
diers "
He said "the former owners-
headed by Edward. G. Ball, brother
o'f Mrs. Alfred I. duPont and di-
rector of duPont Florida interests
-have threatened suit against the
government 'if any patientt at
Ream hospital gets more, than
three feet of the concrete walks
around the hospital ground s'."
Declaring that there is "deep
feeling that the war department
has been Influenced either by
present ,management, the corpora-
tion which owns the hotel or 'by
a mistaken policy of economy,"
Pepper urged the president to sus-
pend the closing order pending an
inquiry.
Thp justice department. he said,
has "data about the whole matter.'"
Copy of the telegram sent to
Senator Pepper on April 8 by Mr.
Ball in reply to the above state-
ments credited to the senator,
,reads:
I have just seen the United
Press report of your wire. to Pres-
ident Roosevelt where yotu are

Pont and director of duPont Flor-
ida interests have threatened
suit against the government. 'if
any patient at Ream hospital gets
more than three feet off the con-
crete walks around the hospital
grounds'."
Insofar as -your reference to me
individually or as director of the
Alfred I. duPont interests is con-
cerned, I wish to say it is an un-
mitigated falsehood, without basis
In fact or honest imagination.
If you are the man that I used
to think you were, you will pub-
licly retract this. falsehood de-
signed to prejudice not only the
wounded. soldiers but the public
generally against the activities of
this organization.
Howerver..if you are only a poli-
tician seeking to secure, votes
through creating prejudice by
false and; malicious statements,
you will not retract the. statement.
For yopr information, T happen

and neither the organization with
which I am connected or I per-
sonally have ever taken any ac-
tion, which could be considered in
