JAMES TRAWEEK WRITES
FROM SOUTHWEST PACIFIC
Southwest Pacitic
July 18, 1944
Dear Editor Bill-This is the
first time that I have written you.
I've had plenty( of opportunities
but not quite the ambition, bui
now that I've been missing the
home town paper (or "rag" as i
have heard, you call it) so muca
that I thought I had better write
in and "give you the word" about
my pew address.
Out here on this particular.
South Sea island isn't exactly llm"
it was back in the )States, but 1t
isn't as bad as some of the others.
It rains quite a bit and when we
wash our clothes, it takes forever
and a day for- them to dry. Jap,
don't' bother us and the mosqui-
toes are not too bad. Coconuts and
other tropical fruit grow in abun-
dance and thie. jungles are fall ot
parrots, wild hogs and spiders, but
I haven't seen a .monkey yet.
The natives are very friendly,

Figures revealing a sharp de.

Florida those types most con-
tagious and constituting a public
health menace-were released this
week .by officials of the state
board of health.
Dr. R. F. Sondag, director of the
state's. division of venereal disease
control, said that "this decline
may be just a trend, but it is felt
that wei are finally realizing re-

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

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.

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.

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.

S llMY DAY


- -' fI\11 11
OCCASIONALLY, I wake up in
the morning with a Headache.
It sometimes wears off along the
middle of the forenoon, but I don't
want to wait that long, so I drink a
glass of sparkling AJtA1.SELTZER.
In just a'little while I am feeling a
lot better.
Sometimes the week's ironing tires
me and makes me sore and stiff.
Then it's ALKA- SELTZER to 'the
rescue-a tablet or two and a little
rest makes me feel more like finish-
ing the job.
And when I eat "not wisely but
too well," ALKA-SELTZER relieves
the Acid Indigestion that so often
follows.
Yes, Alka Seltzer brightens my
day. It brings relief from so many
of my discomforts, that I always
keep it handy.
Why don't you get a package-of

county hospital, Ocala and. Wa-
kulla). 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. Graves of
Tampa visited over the week-end
here with W. S. Smith and' in We-
wahitchka with Mr. and Mrs. J. A.
Christmas.


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.
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-
mit 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
