We All voters of Gulf county are urged to turn out next Tuesday and cast their ballots for selection of members, of the board of county commissioners. It is of the utmost importance that everyone take part in this election, since the members Of the board represent the people ana are, empowered to transact the business of the county in the name of all the people. It is entirely up to you, Mr. and Mrs. Voter, to see .that the most capable, men (la your opinion) are named, to the J board. In the north endi of the county W. R. Connell has no competition for re-election, to the board from District One, nor has Jim Danie!s in District Two. But down in thl9 neck of the woods, candidates for seats on the board are thicker than fleas on a dog's back. In District Three we find, C. Martin and Thos. R. R.

Our Country Right or Wrong WHY THE ARMY NEEDS PULPWOOD Ordnance equipment and supplies are be- ing shipped overseas at the rate of 14 tons a minute day and night, the army reports. A lot of the material is destroyed before it reaches.the battlefront; more is lost in action as our fighting, men press forward in Europe and on Pacific beachheads. While tanks, planes and artillery account for a large share of the weight, more than 700,000. separate items-some of them in the millions-are supplied to our forces abroad. Many of them, even such large items as' tank or bomber -replacement motors, are wrapped in specially treated paper. It was because these vast supplies were provided in such.huge quantities and in good condition that our troops which landed on French beacehs or behind German lines were .completely equipped with the most modern weapons. Certainly this equipment was largely re- .sponsible for the fact that our losses in the, first phases of the invasion ,were lower than had been expected. Pulp,', ,:,i played an important role in get- ting these supplies overseas in good condi- tion. Yet most of the paper and paperboard consumed in packaging this equipment cannot be 'returned or used again. It must be re- placed by thousands more cords of pulpwood as yet uncut.

',War s Keep On Buying War Bonds STAR GAZING Meteors have appeared lately in the suim- * mer sky,y flaming across the heavens by night aiid arousing wonder and fear. among mariy observers. In olden times, within great wars ... progress, such. sights. would have been re- garded as significant portents. ,Astrologers would have pored over their mystical books, trying to find in them the answers to our present problems and future fate. But few people take such" things seriously now. Science has dissipated the magic poetry and fear formerly attending such sights. The astrologers are gone, and in their place are astronomers, with scientific instruments in- stead of magic scrolls, who know where the, comets come from and perhaps also where they are going. Also the stuff 'they are made of, and how much it weighs, and how long it will be until they are dissipated in space. All in all, this is now a practical and scien- tific world. So much so that many people, with a little imagination, poetry and mystery still left in them, regret the hardheaded ma- terialism they see all around. But there are still plenty of mysteries to be solved for those who know where to look for them.- Sanford Herald. SMALL BUSINESS IN RUSSIA Soviet Russia permits the establishment-of small businesses for profit as an aid toward reconstruction in areas liberated from the fascists. While it was never "disallowed by law, not since the inception of the five-yeai plan in 1928, have small businesses flourished in Russia. Recently the Kiev Pravda officially an- nounced that any willing person may start a small business. Immediately several private enterprises sprung up while plans for others came to the fore. In a socialist nation,' this is a revolutionary tendency. While only a tem-. porary expedient, the plan to allow business to exist for profit is' based on individualist motives rather than on Marxist collectTvTsm. -Christian Science Monitor.

He predicted because pen- icillin therapy requires only four to eight days hospitalization, that individuals with early infectious syphiis will now voluntarily seek this modern form of treatment. "In the past, patients were often reluctant to undergo treatment for syphilis because of the long and teClious treatment," said Dr. Son- dag. "Now, with the wonder drug available, no one need hesitate to, seek treatment 'because of the time element." Visitors From Tampa Mr. and Mrs. B. H.

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 Com- merce, 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.
