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. Anyone desiring further
information needs only to contact
Mr. Culpepper at the Gulf Hardl-
ware Company, or Mr. Gibson.

Another Buying Spurt Needed If
'E' Quota of $71,000 Is
To Be Reached

With tomorrow slated as the
closing day for the Sixth War
Loan Drive, another spurt on the
part of bond buyers is needed if
Gulf county is to meet its E bond
quota of $71,000. 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. ',b ..i.. the
damper on. our Pearl Harbor Day
bond rally, but a considerable
amount of bbn'ds were sold. in
spit e, of the rainy and blustery'
weather.
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.

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.-

remains that in the present session of the 78th
congress the Third District is without repre-
sentation, and at a time when matters of vi-
tal interest to the district and to the whole
nation are being considered in congress.
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.

Outdoor Christmas Lighting This .Year


We know that you will co-operate in this wartime conserve.
tion measure the same as you have the past two years.
Please read the following:


"The office of war utilities of the War Production Board
asks that city officials, civic clubs, chambers of commerce,
merchants and citizens generally dispense with outdoor
decorative lighting this Christmas, as was done in 1942 and
1943, since the fuel situation in most areas of the country
is critical and strict conservation is essential.


"OWU is not asking that indoor Christmas lighting, whether
in homes or in stores, be eliminated, but believes that out-
door lighting, such as festooned store fronts and decorated
streets, should be dispensed with as long as fuels are
