the printed word thoroughly convinces. The spoken word
is lost; the printed word remains.

Our Country Right or Wrong

WILL WE BE IN THE PROCESSION?'
Surveys are being made over the nation
for the purpose of determining postwar de-
mands for air express and air freight. When
one looks at a map showing the design for
America's worldwide air routes, the import-
ance of such preparation and co-ordination of
the facilities to be offered the public becomes
self-evident.
*According to postwar plans now on paper,
the United States expects that its interna-
tional airlines will fly 140,000 miles, 60,000
of those miles over new routes. Where, be-
fore the war, passengers were the principal
load, it is expected that air express and
freight will add tremendously to the future
cargo of the airlines.
A great portion of this traffic will be with
the South American countries, and Port St.
Joe, if it had the proper airfield facilities, is
ideally situated as a hopping-off, point for
this traffic to our southern neighbors, both
for sea .and laid planes.
Are we going to be at the tail end of this
future air procession or are we going to be
in on the ground floor?


WARNS OF JAP PEACE BID
T. A. Brisson, noted Far East authority
and author of the much-discussed book,
"Japan In China," sounds a timely warning
this week that Japan's newly organized war
cabinet is plotting a compromise peace "of-
fensive" to be launched after Germany's de-
feat.
This offer will be carefully timed, Brisson
says. We can expect it in the wake of Ger-
many's final collapse, when Britain and the
United States are in the trough of the wave,
wrestling with such problems as the transfer
of armed forces and equipment to the Pa-
cific, and industrial reconversion.
The terms will go far, possibly even to the
extent of relinquishing all Japan's southern
conquests and all of China proper. Manchuria
and Korea will not be offered, thinks Brls-
son, since they are both necessary for Japan
if it is to remain a great nation.
There can be no question as to what ac-
ceptance of such terms would mean. With
the raw materials and industrial facilities of
Korea and Manchuria, Japan would have all
the necessary resources to heal the wounds
of this war and lay careful plans for a full
success in the next one.
On the other hand, China, disillusioned in
the Western democracies, might fall an easy
prey to the machinations of Japan's agents
engaged in the work of preparation for the
new conflict.
These are the essential factors which make
it necessary that the task now well begun be
completed. The cost of stopping halfway to
victory in the Pacific is too great price to
pay.-Miami Post.

From the .crowd of out-of-state cars around
here during the Labor Day week-end, more
and more Georgians and Alabamians are dis-
covering how good the fishing is in these
parts. Getting so that us local residents can't
even get a boat.

q: PLAN NOW
*F01


Most everyone likes to think of the almost unbeliev-
able conveniences and comforts that will some day result.
merely from the touch of a button, or from the breaking
of a beam of light. It is only natural to want to take full
advantage of all the wonderful new structural materials
chemicals and products about which so much is written
today.
No mistake about it, tomorrow does have many mar-
velous things in store for us. But many of those products
of the future are still in the development staae. Others
nerhaps already perfected, it may not be possible to manu-
factire for months in quantity and at prices within *dnerrl
irehch So it is inv;itnd4 disappointment to assume thnt the
,rnd of the wnr w;ll he the signal for the immediate mann-
fictur-e and distribution of every product which now looks
prof+ic(l.
But there are no restrictions on planning for the home
of tomorrow. As you read of new developments and
products which will be available after the war. consider
them carefully and keep a file of the idea which may be
practical for your own use. When the lights go on afain
you will be able to tell your architect. builder and elec-
trical contractor what electrical appliances and other
products to make provisions for in planning and con-
struction.
Most IMPORTANT, insist that you have plenty of
convenience outlets and proper sized wires inside the
house for all needs .. for ADEQUATE WIRING is the
kev to your home of tomorrow.
The question of ADEQUATE WIRING is really
very simple and we will be glad to send you a small book-
let designed especially for those who are planning to build
after Victory.
