PAGE TWO Vitamins Easy to Take in Bowl of Tempting Salad , Most important crops in the Vic- tory garden, nutritionists assure us, re the "green leafy" foods, rich specially in Vitamin A, of which we eat far too little. And this does not mean spinach, Necessarily; nor should those who do not like spinach shy away from .the subject. Among the green, leafy goods, are the leaves used in bowl salads, which will satisfy the nutri- tional needs of the family while at the same time delighting any civi- lized palate. ., Famous chefs pride themselves na their salads. One uncooked salad may be served every day at dinner with a great variety of nutritious ingredients produced in the Vic- ory..*garden. Bowl salad addicts often have a ritual, in which they mix the dressing at the table, and toss the salad in the wooden bowl, -which is first rubbed with a clove Rf garlic in order to impart a sug- gestion of its flavor. While olive kil is not plentiful in war time, corn iil and other vegetable oils are plentiful and serve quite well for dressing . , Leaf lettuce is preferred by most chefs over head lettuce for salads. It is also far richer in vitamins. It comes in two types-the butter leaves, and the crisp leaves. The butter leaves are thicker, and dark- er green, with finer flavor, the experts say. Crisp leaves are light- er green in color, thin and some- what brittle. Examples are Black ,Seeded Simpson, a butter type, and Grand Rapids, a crisp leaf type. ]Experts give first place in their is*teem to the butter leaves. , Romaine or cos lettuce, which WAVE RECRUITER TO BE IN PORT ST. JOE NEXT FRIDAY It is easy to see that by th-e time this war is over, women will be working in many fields that have heretofore been. monopolized by pen.

States Navy-as uni- formed WAVES, says Wave Re- cruiter Hild!a Minton. Find out for produces oval leaves, standing up- right, is highly esteemed by French salad experts. It is a good late lettuce, standing heat better than, the leaf varieties. The leaves can be bleached by tying them up as they near maturity, but this merely changes their color, and lessens their vitamin content. For summer leaves, chicory, also known as endive, is more available than lettuce, which usually runs to seed in midsummer. Endive may be had with curly leaves, or broad leaves. Many like'the cprly leaves best for summer, and broad leaves (escarolle) for fall, as they endure frost and become sweeter after the "frost comes. Sow both types in drills, thin out to six or eight inches. Leaf crops grown in a similar manner, and much esteemed in bowl salads, include corn salad, which is very hardy and can be harvested late in the fall; and up- land garden cress, which gives a pungent flavor to the salad. In the fall lettuce may be grown again; and the Chinese cabbage leaves are delicious. Chinese cab- bage may be grown in the spring, with rich soil and an early start. But in midsummer, it always runs to seed. A late crop has no such tendency, and heads are easily pro- duced in the fall, from plants started in late| June. All leaf .crops, demand rich soil., They must grow fast without check,. otherwise the leaves are tough and have a bitter flavor. Plant food should be applied to the soil in which they grow at the rate of 4 pounds to 100 square feet. yourself what opportunities you may be passing up to broaden your. horizon iby joining the Navy and becoming a Wave.

The spoken word is given scant attention; the printed word is thoughtfully weighed. The spoken word barely asserts; the printed word thoroughly convinces. The spoken word is lost; the printed word remains. Our Country Right or Wrong ATTEMPT AT INTIMIDATION An advertisement has been published in a number of papers in the Third Congressional District pertaining to an interview Congress- man Bob Sikes gave to a reporter from PM, New York tabloid newspaper, in regard to his stand on increased allotments for depen- dents of servicemen. Mr. Sikes claims that the story as published in PM in September, 1943, is "utterly false" and "low politics" and that he is going to sue the New York paper for defamation of character, or something. In addition, Mr. Sikes makes the statement that all papers reproducing the PM interview will be included in the suit. The publisher of The Star has not been for or against Mr. Sikes, not giving two hoots in hades whether he was returned to office or not, but when we were informed the other, day that if we ran the ad mentioned above we would be sued, it riled us considerably. The article was published in PM on Sep- tember 26, 1943, and surely Mr. Sikes knew of it immediately after it appeared, for such A choice tidbit would be called to his atten- tion by his friends and enemies alike. If it were not true, why has Bob waited so long to deny it or institute suit, and only does so when the article appears in his home baliwick ? As we write this, the advertisement in ques- tion has not been presented to The Star for publication, but if it is, we will publish it, for we refuse to have anyone tell us what we can and cannot publish, especially when there is, a threat connected with it. From the papers coming to our desk, the advertisement has already been published in almost every paper in the Third District and, while we believe that Mr. Sikes is going to be returned to office by the voters, we feel free to predict that in future he will receive very little support from the newspapers in his district due to his threatening attitude in re- gard to this matter, and that if he should run for office again he will be beaten so badly that he will hunt a hole, crawl into it and pull the hole-in after him.

They should pause and consider carefully for whom they will cast their ballot for this im- portant position. In times like these, when the nation's re- sources are being strained t'o the utmost, when we are in the midst of a war which threatens the very life of our state and na- tion, our legislators should be chosen care- fully, with an eye to their past records. In many respects, the legislature is the state's all-powerful official body. It makes the laws, levies the taxes, appropriates the public's money, directs the mode of operation of the, state government, regulates county and municipal governments. The legisla- ture has the power to make or mar the future of our state and our county. We cannot anticipate what problems will come before the next legislature, so the best course is to elect a man who is capable of seeing into and handling properly any issuu which might arise. And, in order to handle such issues, that man must have had past ex- perience in the legislative halls and must show from his past record that he is capable of handling these matters when they do arise. Our present representative, E. Clay Lewis Jr.,. has all these, qualifications, and on his past record we feel that he is the man we will need in Tallahassee during the next ses- sion of the legislature. He has served Gulf county and the state well in the past, and his record presents all the qualities of experience, courage, skill and integrity required to serve the people of this county best and to aid in keeping the state government on an even keel during these parlous times. Lewis is well known and well liked, in the capital's legislative halls and will be line for many important committee chairmanships, whereas a new man would bt given little con- sideration, so we feel that in voting to return E. Clay Lewis to the legislature next Tuesday the people of Gulf county will safeguard the economy, the serviceableness and the charac- ter of their state and home governments.

Senate a man who has invested eight years of his life courageously fighting for the historical. things that have softened the road to war for our boys who are fighting it. Claude Pepper initiated the idea of trading old American destroy- ers for British bases and paved the way for Britain's victory in the Atlantic before we ever en- tered the war. Claude Pepper fought for lend- lease (financing England with war equipment) when Hitler stood'at Abbeyville and gazed toward help- less, unarmed England. Later lena- lease saved Russia, made it pom- r..ble for Stalin's gallant men tu turn about and liquidate a million Germans who otherwise woula now be. ready to face our soldiers. As you think of these million German soldiers, cold and' harm- less in their graves, you may esti- mate the additional chances our boys have when they eventually charge German strongholds. AWAY BACK in the early part of 1940, Claude Pepper pro- duced a seven-point program pro- neering our.readiness for the war. Claude Pepper asked full war- time powers for the president tha% he might prepare to defend! Amer- ica. Claude Pepper dared to suggest universal service to TRAIN every citizen for the country's, defense and for their own defense. All of this almost two years be- fore Pearl Harbor! When 'other senators. were floundering around with Isolationists and cautiously mouthing that they would never vote to send American soldiers overseas, Claude Pepper was read- ing the plans of Ritler and Hrou- hito as if their minds were art open book. He was not only shout- ing and correctly prophesying ap- proaching danger, but he was constfruotively planning- to do something about it. - It Softened Hitler and Tojo. . Hardened Our Soldiers AND. . Brought the End of the War Nearer! AND NOW there are those among us who would displace Claude Pepper in the U. S. Senate. Claude Pepper, according to these critics, is this and Claude Pepper 'is that; well, the man may ..,'be.this and he, may be that. As- suredly he does not claim to be a second Jesus, Christ. But, what- ever his faults, Claude Pepper is Florida's No. 1 patriot; Florida's No. 1 planner of war preparations and Florida's No. 1 voter to train our boys when there was yet time to train them. So then, the cold. bare record shows Claude Pepper as the man who spoke out long before Hitler declared war upon us and dce- manded that we help England and Russia while there were still opera. lanes in the oceans to get help to these countries which enabled them to fight battles that now mean our very freedom. W HO IS FIGHTING Claude Pep- per? Who would fight such a man who has demonstrated such wvison, so much foresight in Amer- ica's greatest crisis? Drew Pearson, non-sentimental commando-type author of Wash- ington Merry-Go-Round, whose ob- 'servations and reporting' hAve stood the test of time, in Wash- .ington, the toughest, roughest bat- tle area in the political world, told us in his March 31st-column. This is what Mr. Pearson said: "Believe it or not, the GOP Is pouring piles of money into one campaign to elect a Democratic senator. Actually they're not esp- ecially concerned about who the Democrat is, so long as it's not Claude Pepper. They simply want to lick Pepper in the Florida pri- mary, which takes place May 2. "This Pepper opposition probJ- ably will consolidate behind young- ish Ollie Edmunds, Jacksonvinle judge, whose chief support seems to come from the Associated In- dustries of Florida, the political action front of the State Chamber of Commerce. Edmunds appears MOA Return claude Pepper to theUnitedStates Senate. His Record Is Bigger Than Any Political Campaign! ^ __ ^ ^ ^^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^^ ^ ^ ^p^^^ ^^ to be the most likely candidate among those willing to runagainst Pepper. "So desperate is the Florida hate- Roosevelt crowd for a strong can- didate that they even asked for- mer Ambassador Joe Davies, whose ,foreign ,policy is anathema to them, to run against Pepper. "In addition to the Associated Industries, Pepper is opposed by the Byrd-for President clubs in Florida, and by the insurance companies. The insurance lobbby here in Washington gave him an ultimatum either support their bill to exempt inusrance companies from the anti-trust laws or be op- ,posed in Florida. Pepper chose op- position, "A KEY MAN in administration A strategy in the senate, Pepper has decided to forego proffered support from his friends in Wash- ington. Harry Truman of Mrs- souri, Harley Kilgore of West Vir- ginia and several -other Democratic senators have offered to speak for him in Florida, but Pepper prefers to fight single-handed." There's your story of Claude Pepper, friends. It's bigger than any (political campaign we've ever seen. You can take all the political editorials, all the political yam- merings of all the candidates aneo you won't get the real story of this young man who fights alone; be- cause Claude Pepper, like the late, great Woodrow Wilson, may be a bigger man in defeat than his op- ponent would ever be in victory. BUT, MEANWHILE forget the fortunes of Claude Pepper. What of the fortunes of Florida? Can a citizen of Florida possibly figure out any percentage in put- ting an anti-Roosevelt freshman into the senate against a pro- Roosevelt young veteran who by 1949 easily may become one of. the outstanding figures in the world? The thing sounds preposterous. Is it possible that Florida would throw away a sure-shot chairman of the Foreign Relations Comit- tee for a freshman senator? Is it possible that Florida would say to its soldiers, now poised in' England or fighting, in Italy: "Well, Claude Pepper gave our old destroyers to England and he got tanks and guns to Russia, and all of that helped soften up the enemy for you boys, but we think he's too much of a rubber-stamp; orhe's too liberal for. the little man; and, besides, he voted to raise our taxes."

I believe that during and after this war we are going to need, men of wide experience in all walks of life settled men to represent the people in their Legislature. Surely one of the great problems of our times will be Post-War Legislation, and it will take the mature judgment of older men to properly maintain the American Way of Life for our people. The rehabilita- tion -of our returning boys .' the change from war-time to peace-time growth and many other problems will confront our people. Surely these problems require sane, sober thinking and judgment. Judgment that only a man of experience could have. As your State Senator, I will endeavor to render such service as will be for the best interest of all the people. During my tenure in office I made many contacts and gained experience I consider invaluable to, me as your Senator. I want to insure to business, big and small, the right to manage, super- intend and control the affairs of their own enterprise, and insure to the work- ing man and woman the right to sell their services wherever they desire and to join',witlftheir fellow-workers in their so doing. Due' to -ar-time restrictions, it has been impossible to meet all of the voters in the 25th Senatorial District, particularly in Gulf County.

If peace could be bought with agreements to undergo severe financial reverses and give up many things we have now, the American people would accept the terms bravely, almost unanimously. Peace would be worth it many times over but peace can not be bought :that way. If war should end tomorrow, prac- 'tically everybody in the United ,States would meet a sudden setback ,in money matters. However, the best economic minds in this country believe such a calamity can be :avoided, that hard times after this war are not necessary. Among them fare Bernard M. Baruch, John M. ;Hancock and others whose profound 'knowledge of economics and under- standing ,of business are nowhere 'disputed. Demonstrated Wisdom The recently published Baruch re- port, -of 'which Mr. Hancock is co- 'author and in which many 'distin- guished students of business had a hand, is too big and important to ,cover in a one-column discussion. It sets up provisions absolutely nec- essary to post-war prosperity, es- sential to the life of Democracy and Private Enterprise. It proposes .things this column has upheld as sound principles for two years. At present America has prosper- ity. Factories of this country have never been busier than now; jobs were never easier to get; workers were never better paid. Many peo- ple are living well, dressing well, setting good tables. Workers always manage to live somehow but now, when they live well, rural people prosper. Farmers get good prices for as much as they can grow be- cause factories are busy. Recent Scare Copy This scares many people: Two- thirds of what American factories are making these days, 66%% measured by dollar volume (call it 50 billion dollars a year) consists of war goods-stuff nobody needs in time of peace. It is a staggering figure. But why be guessing how many jobs peace will,.destroy if, as the report implies, peace can be made to create an equal number of new jobs or more?. It is no secret that work means wealth; that busy people fare bet- - ter than idle ones. To save our way of life, we Americans must'be kept busy, but how? The report says by making it possible for .factory own- ers to keep their plants going. The program has two main features: (1) to get government out of business and (2) to facilitate the reconver- sion of war plants to peacetime pro- Auction. Hope and Assurance All manufacturers of war goods will be anxious to switch quickly into peace-time pursuits if possible. Gov- ernment can help (a) by terminat- ing war contracts promptly and pay- ing plant owners for most of their war work before finishing all the tedious details of final settlement, 0(b) by moving government-owned machinery from privately-owned plants, clearing decks for peacetime production, and (c) by cash loans. Moral support can come from Washington also. (a) By getting en- tirely out ,of. business, government can encourage, private competition most effectively. (b) By systematic disposal of excess war materials, government can save many markets from ruin. (c) By fixing a ceiling on taxes, government can keep 'many businesses going that other- wise would die. Sound economy, hard work and good sense will save Democracy and guarantee prosperi- ty. Coming chapters of Looking Ahead will discuss some of these provisions, one at a time. Reasonable Request Operator: "It costs 75 cents to talk to Tallahassee."
