CUB SCOUT PACK ORGANIZED HERE A ,Cub Scout pack was organ- ized and' a three-hour training course was held at the high "school last Saturday night;, with Norman Savelle, Boy Scout executive for Northwest Florida, in charge. A large audience was. present, with parents as well as Cub candidates taking the course. Nineteen boys were signed up as charter mem- bers of the. new organizaito.n and C. L. "Ciuc' Ci,-:,:,n was named cubmaster. Mr.. Gibsonii stated that he was well pleased with the en- thusiasm of the boys and their parents, and believes that thle -o- cal pack has gotten off. to a good start. Ages of Cub Scouts range from 9 to 12 years. The Port St. Joe Cub Scouts are sponsored by the Kiwanis Club, and: it was largely through the ef- forts of Kiwanians J. C. Culpepper and 0. D. Langston that organiza- tion of the pack got underway. The sponsoring committee Is composed of MIr. Culpepper, J. R. Smith, Frank Hannon- 'and S. D. Frost.

Committee Chair- man L. P. Suttoon reports, that up to yesterday $42,367 worth of E bonds, had been purchased in Port St. Joe and environs, but that fig- ures for the north end of the county had not yet been turned in. The Wewahitchka area had a quota of $21,000 and, if that amount has been purchased, we are still ap- proximately $8,000 short. Entire quota for .the county is $158,000, but .bonds other than E have been purchased to the tune of $122,600, thereby oversubscrib- ing by a considerable amount the quota of $87,000. Purchases were made as follows: St. Joe Paper Company, Apalachicola Northern Railroad Company and St. Joseph Telephone & Telegraph Company, $90,000; Southeastern Pipeline Cor- poration, $25,000; Martin Theaters, $5000; State of Florida, $1400; Standard, Oil 'Company, $106li0. Undoubtedly the cuointy'-S' quota would, have bei-n ri-ached 'before now had i,:.i. i,- v.

Everyone agreed, that the stage show presented, at the Centennial Building that evening, which was put on by personnel from Camp Gordon Johnston, was something exceptional. The, camp has, some of the country's most outstanding musicians, singers, stage and cir-. cus entertainers in their show.

Our Country Right or Wrong CONGRESSMAN SIKES' MISSION Two weeks ago the office of Congressman Robert Sikes in Washington announced the resignation of the congressman to accept "an important military appointment by the war department." According to the announcement, the appointment is to be effective only during the present 78th session of congress, and does not mean a vacancy will occur in the term for which Mr. Sikes was elected this past No- vember and which will begin in January. Be- fore the beginning of that term Mr. Sikes, it is said, will have completed this special mis- sion and will again take up the duties of congressman.- ONES DAY BL VITAMIN "**.TABl.ETy B .

Perhaps this special (and said to be secret) mission which Mr. Sikes has permitted the war department to thrust upon him, is more important than the commission which the people of the Third District have imposed upon him for the past several years, and that when its nature and scope can be revealed it will reflect honor and credit upon both Mr. Sikes and the district which he represents. On the other hand, some are disposed to look with antipathy upon what seems to them a "grandstand play," and to anticipate with something near contempt the political ex- ploitation of an easy-won military .honor. True, this feeling may be the result of lack of information and the secrecy- surrounding the matter. But whatever the outcome, it Is to be seriously hoped that the interests of this district will not suffer materially during Mr. Sikes' .absence, and that his "mission" will prove to be one that will reflect credit and honor upon himself and the people he repre- sents.-Holmes County Advertiser.
