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.

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

mature consideration to the fore-
going in making your selection of
candidates on August 8th.

Softball Results

The Paper Makers continue to
hold their lead in the Port St. Joe
softball league, although they did
not play this week. The Kiwanians
are still in second place,- though
up a notch with two wins, while
the High School is in third plaoe
and the Rotarians continue to oc-
cupy the cellar.
(Last Fridlay night's game re-
sulted in a 7 to 6 win. for the. Kl-
wanians ovei the Rotary Club. It
proved interesting throughout and
almost resulted in a win for the
Rotarians when they staged a last-
minute rally and chalked up three
runs in the seventh. The box score

Tuesday night the Kiwanis Club
took the High School boys down
the line by a 19 to 15 score In
what proved to be a batter's holi-
day, there being 45 hits chalked up
by the two teams during the tilt.
The Kiwanians took the lead In
the first inning by marking up
eight counters to the youngsters'
one, but the High School evened
things up in the second by holding
their opponents ,scoreless and driv-
ing in seven runs to tie the score.
They led by two runs up to the
fifth, when the Kiwanias staged a
rally for, six runs off of seven
singles and six errors on the part
of the school boys. During the

This title is simply: .. :-.

It isn't just happenstance that so many women

Owr Country Right or Wrong

"SOAK THE RICH" MEANS YOU
The average citizen in Port St. Joe had
little concern over taxes five years ago. 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.

tive tree which bears a fruit like the canta-
loupe but as hard as iron. Probably a canta-
loupe.-Detroit News.

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.

"Sausages for breakfast! Sau-
sages for breakfast! I can smell
'em!" 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."
