Our Country F Right or Wrong THE PEOPLE CHOSE WISELY In electing Millard Caldwell as their gov- ernor for the next four years, the people of Florida made a wise choice, for during these parlous times we need a man at the head of our state who is level-headed, sane and con- servative and who will act always for the best interests of our state and its people. SAMUEL FINLEY BREESE MORSE The one-hundredth anniversary of the tele-, graph occurred last Wednesday, May 24. On that day, congress unveiled a plaque to Sam- uel Finley Breese Morse, an American artist of note,, who after years of heart-breaking experiments in working out communication by electricity, saw his fondest dream come true, May 24, 1844. "What hath God wrought!" was the first message to flash over the first telegraph line, from the chamber of the United States Su- preme Court in the capitol at Washington to the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad station in Baltimore. The store of this first great electrical achievemeihtis niore fascinating than theli best-selling novel. Morse, a portrait painter by profession, was often in financial difficul- ties which forced him to drop his telegraph experiments. But he always returned to them. * While he was painting a portrait of Gen- eral Lafayette, who sat for him in the White House at Washington, Mrs. Morse died in New Haven, Conn. Because of the slowness . of communication, Morse did not receive word' until seven days after the funeral. From then on, his struggle to perfect his telegraph idea was unabating. A few cour- ageous individuals backed him. Finally, in 1843, congress appropriated $30,000 to build a telegraph line from Washington to Balti- more. The Baltimore & Ohio Railroad granted the use of its right-of-way, and on May 24, 1844, telegraph communication became a reality. THE WAY TO AVOID BANKRUPTCY More people would take more interest in the problem of the growing federal debt if they were told frankly that unless the solv- ency of the government is maintained, every war bond will be worthless. They should be told frankly that buying bonds will not save the country from bankruptcy. But ,there is a way to keep out of bankruptcy-by paying taxes and by rigid government economy. Everyone who owns a war bond, a life insur- ance policy or a dollar of savings has a direct interest in this problem. It is no longer a mat- ter for "the other guy" to worry about. It is now estimated that before the present war is over the federal debt may reach the staggering sum of $300,000,000,000. If this could be divided equally and spread over the entire population, it would mean a debt of about $2,300 for every man, woman and child in the United States, a debt of about $4,700 for every person gainfully employed, and based on four persons to the family, a debt of $9,200 for each and every family in these United States. This debt cannot be passed on to the other fellow or evaded. If the American people value their freedom, they will insist upon meeting the debt squarely-the hard way- by taxation, and frugality in government. THE SHAPE OF THINGS TO COME The record-breaking flight of the Lockheed Constellation from coast to coast in less than seven hours is not only historic, but is a por- tent of things to come. The performance graphically illustrates that we will have a more closely knit world and that we must think in terms of time rather than space. Fur- thermore, it proves that the United States must be ready with the planes and with the fliers, for what we can do, others will do. And when this age of flight begins at the conclusion of the war, with its rapid trans- pQrtation of goods, materials and passengers, where will Port St. Joe 'be without an air- port? That is a sixty-four dollar question that all of ..us should study carefully. In Miami Beach hand-painted neckties are selling for $250 apiece. And, on the other hand, there are some people down there who have got sense.-Sanford Herald. Out in Highland View a lot of the kids will standout in the middle of the street in front of automobiles and seem disappionted if someone doesn't run over them. No 'whiskey can be sold in Gulf county on Sunday, but a first-class hangover ought to last from Saturday night to Monday morning. .

Sullivan', etc., etc., who art, automatically (at least until the rules are changed ..again) thrown out of the draft 'because of the age limitations. And speaking of sighs, not to mention gr6ans, local backers of Lex Green are indulging in them plenty. It's- positively pathetic to see the long, gloomy faces -on the streets, such as& those of Capt. Ben Dickens, E. Clay Lewis, E. Hall, Jim Bounds, Joe, Whitfield, ad in- finitum. But they're all good losers-we hope. Doc Norton is still behind, Doc Ward, in the baby derby. Dr. Ward has three of a kind-daughters- while J. R. has a boy and a girl. "Anyway," says J. R., "I'm the bet- ter man-he hasn't got a boy."

Where-the coral dust blows thicker than the shifting' desert sanlns, And the white man dreams and. curses and prays for better lands. Somewhere. in the Pacific, where. a girl is never seen, Where the sky is never cloudy and grass is never green; Where the flying foxes' chatter robs of man his blessed, sleep, There isn't any whiskey, and for beer the briny deep. Somewhere in the -Pacific, where the mail is always late, Where a Christmas card in April is considered up to date; Where we never get a payday, so we never have a cent, But we don't miss the money, 'cause we. never get it spent. Somewhere in the Pacific, where the ants and lizards play, And a hundred fresh mosquitoes replace the ones you slay. So take me back to Florida; let me roam o'er sand and shell, For this God forsaken island is a substitute for Hell! -Frank LaGrange, HA 1/c.
