HAT IN POLITICAL RING Wiley. Collinsworth of Highland View, who has entered the county commissioner race in the Third District feels that'a couple of ola- time political rallies' should be held i -one in Port St. Joe and one, in Wewahitchka where all canail- dates would be asked to speak to the voters and present their plat- forms. We think Wiley has something there, and we, feel sure that such a rally would be well attended by voters of the. county. We trust that other candidates will fall in with Mir. Collinsworth's idea.

Instructions On Xmas Parcels To Boys Overseas Must Be Mailed In Period. From September 15 to October 15; No Request Required It may, be only the first of Au- gust, but folks here at home who have boys and girls overseas should begin now thinking of what they are going to put in, that Christmas package. Postmaster H. A. Drake states that Christmas cards and parcels for personnel of the armed forces overseas must be. mailed during the period beginning 'September Ib and ending OcO.ber 15, but the earlier the 'better. The war de- partment advises that Christmam greeting cards .must be in sealed envelopes and paid at the first class rate. No request is required from ad- dressees during this period only. Each gift parcel must be market "Christmas Parcel." The size of the parcel must not he oves 15 inches in length or 36 Inches in length and girth, and weigh not over five pounds. It is also pointed out that mem- bers' of the armed forces are amply provided, with food and clothing, and the. public is urged not to in- clude such matter in gift parcels. Not more than one package will be accepted for mailing in any on' week when sent by or in behalf of the same person or concern t' or from the same address, Post master Drake warned. ROY B.

Paid Political Advertising To the Democratic Voters of Gulf County Since I will be unable to contact ,you personally to solicit your vote for County Commissioner in Dis- trict 3 due to lack of time, gas and ,a great deal of unfinished title work contracted for prior to my decision to run, I am taking this means of discussing matters with you, My announced promise is, in brief, "Service men first," and it remains just that way. However, to help the service man we must of necessity help ourselves. To this end, if chosen by you, I propose to urge upon my col- leagues the crying need for careful study of post war planning as al- ready being outlined by Federal and State Agencies, the State and United, States Chambers of Comn- merue, the Civic Clubs, the Legion, the Churches and School authori- ties. With thorough understand- ing of what may happen, we can in a measure prepare ourselves for events that will rapidly 'unfold at the close of hostilities. It has been repeatedly said: "What can the county do besides what it is already, doing? What Is to be, will be," and so on. I sub- mt if we meekly take what Is given us and make no effort to get our share of the benefits, we Will be guilty of negligence in the extreme. We will richly deserve the censure of those who have fought to keep "the land of the free and the home of .the brave," "To keep America American. Let me beg of you, whoever you vote for, to take thought of what is just around the corner. We have the opportunity of maKing Gulf County what she Is potentially along material, social and religious lines..

Of course most of us bellyached a bit about pay- ing sewer and paving assessments, but that was something we really needed and was a boon to the city, so we didn't yowl very hard, just enough t9 keep up our morale and show our independerice-which is one of our Ameri- can perogatives. About that time "soak the rich" was the stock method of raising in- creased public revenue all over the nation, and, as none of us here were what could )e termed "rich," it didn't nick us. Even up un- til two or three years ago,. it seemed as if the so-called rich could always be assessed through business or death taxes to raise pub- lic revenue, But we have had a shock-"soak- ing the rich" will no longer pay the tax bills. From now on, the tax collector must "soak" everybody Labor, for example, has found in deduc- tions from its pay checks, what taxation means. 'In- other words, industry and lab6r are at last in the same tax boat. Gross earnings and gross wages mean nothing. Jobs must be created out of net earnings. Homes must be built out of net wages-the money remaining after tax de- ductions. So today, when you say "soak the rich," you are really asking that you be "soaked," for you, as well as everyone else, today are on an equal footing as far as taxatios is con- cerned. Our fighting men down under report a na- tive tree which bears a fruit like the canta- loupe but as hard as iron. Probably a canta- loupe.-Detroit News. SLAVES DON'T WIN WARS As of January 1, 1944, the oil companies of the United States reported an expenditure of nearly one billion dollars of their own money exclusively as a war effort in accelerating re- fining, marketing and transportation facili- ties of the war-geared petroleum industry. This huge sum does not include the incalcul- able other millions of dollars spent by the companies for stepped-up exploration similar to that going on in Gulf county now, and de- velopment and wildcatting to assure the pro- digious petroleum production war has made necessary. A country of freedom like the United States has the edge over any nation whose people are dominated by rules with no faith in the intelligence of their fellow citizens. People who are dominated must be led. When war came the people of this country did not wait to be led by government authority. In- dustries such as oil went ahead on their own initiative with the result that the armed forces have plenty of oil and everything else they need. Individual independence is the secret of the American production miracle. The Axis lead- ers cannot understand this as our tanks and planes by the tens of thousands blast them out of their ill-gotten empires. HELP SAVE A LIFE The circus fire tragedy at Hartford, Conn., is unusual in ,only one respect-it caused the death of an unusual number of people in one fire. And yet death was no more definite for each of those victims than it is for the indi- vidual who perishes in a farmhouse, or for one or two or three .children who meet death in home fires 'almost every day. Because some 150 people meet death from a single fire in Hartford, the tragedy is given page headlines across the nation. But when 10,000 people are burned to death annually by ones and twos, you never see the fact blaz- oned to the world in large type. Circus or night club tragedies, and most other fires, could be prevented if each indi- vidual appointed himself a committee of one to see that every time he lit a match, smoked a cigaret or had anything to do with any ap- pliance that caused heat, it was out or prop- erly safeguarded, when he left it. Our 10,000-a-year fire death toll could be largely eliminated if we would all learn a lesson from the Hartford disaster and be in- dividually careful. A compliment can make an insult feel like a plugged dime.

Small Joe came tumbling downstairs fastening the belt of his shorts as he came. He made a bee- line for the kitchen. Pop was al- ready sitting at the table, reading the paper, while Mom held the han- dle of the frying-pan over the stove Small Joe came close and sniffed the delicious smoke, wriggling all over with early-morning joy. "Better be thankful for them while you can still get them." One glance at Mom's face told small Joe this was one of her tight-lipped days. "Not a drop of coffee in the house, and no sugar left to put in it if there was. Some war!" Small Joe' kept still. "Letter for you, son," Pop said in his quiet voice. Small Joe made a leap for his place at table. There it was, a private personal letter for him alone, propped against his milk glass. "Hey, Pop! It's from brother!" Small Joe was pulling the envelope apart and diving into the contents. "Hey, look what S he sent me." He passed over an -" oblong of thick, crinkly paper ,- while he leaned over the sheet of writing-paper. "A twenty-five dollar War Bond," Pop said slowly. Mom turned and looked at it over Pop's shoulder, with the frying-pan in her hand. "Listen what he says. 'How are you doing, kid? Hurry and grow up so you can help me slap the Japs. Aren't you- most big enough to get into the Army? Here's something for you in your name. Let's the whole family gang up and help to win this war.' " Pop and Mom were silent. But small Joe didn't notice that. "He was full of his letter and his War Bond. "Gee, Pop, in six years I could get into the Army, couldn't I, Pop? Gee, Pop, I want to be a soldier like brother and fight in this war. Gee, isn't that bond nifty? Look, it was issued in Honolulu. It's mine." But Pop was looking at Mom and Mom was looking at Pop. There were tears in Mom's eyes. She shook her head sharply. Pop reached out and patted her hand gently. "Well, can't let our soldier boy beat us to buying War Bonds, can we, old lady?" was all he said. She shook her head again. "I guess if he can give up his job and and go off to war I can do some fighting back at home,' she said in a queer voice. Small Joe looked up at her in surprise. She saw him looking at her and spoke sharply. "Well, Joe. We're about ready to eat. Say grace." Small Joe folded his hands and bent his head as he had been taught. "Oh Lord, we thank thee for this food and all thy bountiful gifts..." "Amen," Pop said. "Amen," Mom said. "Now eat your good sausages."
