Stricken area, and it was stated
that 94 garments were donated
by the members. Plans were made
at this time for the purchase or

taken from: the last four chapters
of 2 Corinthians, following which
the meeting was adjourned with

Few products are playing a more vital role in win-
ning the war than pulpwood. And the South is proud
of the fact that about half the nation's supply of this
essential war material comes from this area.
Out of war-time developments will come a greatly
enlarged field for pulpwood products and the South
can look forward to a vast post-war market for this
important crop.




.0notg.ce of quit


Only the best is good enough for our boys, and you
can't make the best munitions and supplies from
wood that is rotted, charred or excessively crooked
and knotty.
Make every axe-stroke count. Cut only wood that
is sound and straight.

would realize that business girls
are not the only ones who some-
times get Headache and Tired
Aching Muscles. We home girls
often work just as hard and have
just, as many Headaches, just as
many Stomach Upsets and get
just as Tired.
About a year ago, I first used
ALKA-SELTZER
I find that it eases my Aching
Head, takes the kinks out of Tired,
Aching Muscles and brings relief
,when I have Acid Indigestion.
The family says I am a lot
easier to,live with since I have
known about Alka-Seltzer.

This is approximately $75
each for every man, woman
and child in Florida. Of coYrse,
the money was not loaned on
that basis, but much of it
finally reached the pockets of
workers, doctors, dentists, mer-
chants and thousands of other
individuals because almost all
of this money was loaned to
businesses, farmers and indus-
tries in Florida.
Bank loans stimulate pro-
gress when the money goes into
the hands of business and indi-
viduals who are using it for new
enterprises or the development
and expansion of established
concerns. Instead of being
merely dollars, these loans
quickly translate themselves
into payrolls, supplies, materi-
als --the thousand and one

And then think of the tremen-"

growth by the vast sum of
money made available through'
the Florida National Group:
No other group of banks in
Florida can compare with this
total of money loaned. We are
proud of this because it is clear
evidence of our sincerity when
we say that we believe that
nothing must stand in the way
of sound, constructive develop-
