From out of the turmoil of a seething world comes a small voice-the voice of the soldier -any soldier.. Taken advantage of by some who are sel- fish and greedy in their own desires, we fight to maintain the freedom, equality and justice that is out heritage. And when we have won the peace, we will fight equally hard to perfect that spirit of freedom, equal- ity and justice we so dearly love. In our fu- ture world of peace, we want an honest-to- God country-and I say that not as a time- worn expression, but with a deep feeling o reverence, and yet guilt in knowing that God our Father .has not been given His rightful place in the hearts and minds of us Ameri- cans, as ruler, counselor, yes, God of Our Country. We want to come back to an advancing world, not, only in scientific marvels, but in a greater feeling of universal brotherhood be- tween individuals, communities, states, coun- tries and nations. This war can force with steel bands a closeness to God and fellow mren that must, and will, rise up after the last shot is fired. I do not seek wealth and position-merely security and peace' and freedom with those I love.

SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT W 1 A We have been talking from time to time with various sportsmen in Gulf county on the . wvild game situation and all are of the opin- /o n one ion that game is on the increase, due mainly ur n one to the fact that nimrods cannot get ammuni- tion for hunting.

FREEMAN , Corner Rekl Ave. and 3rd St. Griffin Grocery Building , I The Story of Our BLANKET Y A Once upon a time there was a big, fat fleecy blanket named NOW who was born of fine, far-sighted parents. One day in August, when he yvas as perfect as their fondest dreams had dreamed, they sent him to Costin's where he exhibited his beauty. But not for long. For those nice people of the town clamored to own him NOW. Surprised and pleased at this popularity during an out- of-season month, Costin's thought of a plan to provide an easy way for customers to own him, NOW. If they'd pay just a small amount of money down, lay the blanket away at Costin's, and pay a little each month almost like magic they'd have the blanket paid for by the time cold weather came! The plan was a success .... and now every August Costin's specializes in a splendid new crop of blankets all because thrifty customer wanted to buy NOW then!
