As you boys know, I was over- seas for quite a while just as. you .are now, so I have a pretty good idea of what your life is over there. I am sure all of you fellows have heard of the V. F. W.

As you fellows well know, we don't have a post at Port St. Joe, but if you will join we can have a post-a post to be proud' of. So I am asking .you as a fellow sol- dier and member of the armea forces to think it over and, join so we can have a post after this is over. All of you men who have served 'overseas or are serving overseas are eligible. "As you know, our friend and comrade, Lt. Willis, V. Rowan, gave his life for our freedom, andt the.

These observations have been made by army postal inspectors who have checked, various forms of letter nail between postofficea located in all sections of the U.

V-mail quicker than ordinary mail, but the inspectors by actual checking have: found that it is on an average several days faster than regular air mail. In the Middle East and Indian theaters of war it has been, found that letters sent by V-mail reach their destinations five days sooner than regular air mail. It is the saving of time element in delivery of the soldiers' letters which keeps the army hammering away at the public to use the me. dium of V-mail.

I would like to take this oppor- tunityi to thank each and every one of you for the splendid co- operation you gave me as your county agent. I hope to have the same co-operation in the new job. I feel sure that you will give the new county agent the fullest co- operation possible. We have come a long way to- gether, you and I, in the field ot agriculture in, Gulf county. Let's don't go back. Let's continue for- ward. With a county agent, home demonstration agent, experiment station and a soil conservation district in our county there, is but one way to go-FORWARD. We ,have what some counties dream about but seldom ever achieve. So when I say "Thank you for your co-operatiop," I really mean it. Only by pulling together as one team can we succeed not only in agriculture but in many other fields. J. B.

Floridians are becoming in- creasingly aware of the great industrial destiny of West Florida. For many years the' state as a whole has tended to regard this area as being not only limited to agriculture, but also limited to certain crops.. Recent industrial develop- ments, however, have focused attention on the vast potentials of West Florida as a great manu- facturing region for forest pro- ducts, paper, ships, pottery and many other things. West Florida is. marching ahead-rapidly. And Florida National Group Banks are help- ing its progress by investing in West Florida county, city and road and -school district bonds.

Nine West Florida counties are represented in this holding nine counties that have thus been enabled to make needed improvements because of Florida National Group financing, Although these bonds were purchased as a sotnd investment, they were chosen from among many available investment oppor- tunities because they also enabled us to contribute to the progress of a section of Florida that may one day outstrip all of the rest of Florida as a rich manufacturing and industrial area.
