Red Cross that home conditions and the health and welfare of their families are still of paramount im- portance to the men and women on overseas duty. Men can fight the enemy, physical discom- forts, fatigue and illness, but they can't fight off the haunting fears that assail them when things are riot going right at home. Miles away, unable to get home to evaluate the situations for themselves, GI Joe and Of- ficer Tom or Harry are equally terrified when day after day goes by and there is no word concerning the birth of an expected son or *daughter. Bridging this gap between home and the fighting line is your organization-- the American Red Cross-ready to lend ,a helping hand wherever it is needed.

RIVAL CITIES START BI*TER CUT-THROAT COMMERCIAL WAR (Continued from page 1) to this Apalachicola paper, I steamers were plying between that town and Georgia, an increase of three or more over the preceding year. The total number of vessels that arrived between November 1, 1836, and Januaryp 31, 1837, was 115, while during the, same time in the preceding year the number had been only 48. The malicious Gazette announced, with great glee in its issue of December 31, 1836, that two steamers were aground in the Lake Wimlci channel. The promoters of St. Joseph re- alized the disadvantages under which they were laboring. With a spirit that is not surpassed by any modern business firm which is willing to scrap costly machines for more modern, ones, they 0e- .cided to construct a new railroad from the town to the Apalachicola River at Tennessee Bluff, where the town of Iola was soon to de- velop. This new road would have two advantages over the old one: the treacherous Lake Wimico would be avoided and the trans- portation distance between St. Joseph and Georgia would be con- sideraibly. less than between Ap- alachicola and Georgia-lola being 28 miles from the new town and 70 from the old one-while the ANCIENT OPA-ISM i SQUARE-RIGGERS LOADED COTTON AT ST. JOSEPH The inclemency of the season had affected .... the harvests of Syria; and the .price of bread, *'-' in the markets of Antioch, had naturally risen' in proportion to the scarcity of corn. But the fair and reasonable proportion was soon vio- lated by the rapacious arts of monopoly In this unequal contest, in which the prod- uce of the land is claimed by one party as his exclusive property, is used by another as a lucrative object of trade, and is required by a third for the daily and necessary support of life, all the profits of the intermediate agents are accumulated on the heads of the, defenseless consumers. The hardships of their situation were exaggerated and in- creased by their own impatience and anxiety; and the apprehension of a scarcity gradually produced the appearance of a famine. When the luxurious citizens of' Antioch complained of the high price of poultry and fish, Julian publicly declared that a frugal city ought to be satisfied with a regular sup- ply of wine, oil and bread; but he acknowl- deged that it was the duty of a sovereign to provide for" the subsistence of his people. With this salutary view, the emperor ven- tured on a very dangerous and doubtful step, of fixing, by legal authority, the value of corn. He enacted that, in a time of scarcity, it should be sold at a price which had seldom been known in the most plentiful years; and: he sent into the market 422,000 modii, or measures, which were drawn by his order. The consequences might have been fore- seen, and were soon felt. The imperial wheat was purchased by the rich merchants; the proprietors of land, or of corn, withheld from the city the accustomed supply; and the small quantities that appeared in the market were secretly sold at an advanced and illegal price. % Julian still continued to applaud his own policy. He was persuaded, perhaps with truth, that the senators of Antioch who' possessed lands, or were concerned in trade, had themselves contributed to the calamities, 6' flieir, 'country;- and he imputed the disrke - spectful boldness which they assumed, to the sense, not of public duty, but of private in- terests.-From "The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire." Experience has a big charge account of mis- takes to settle for some of us. time translating their plans into deeds. By the end of August, 1837, The Times announced that $50,000 had been paid to Mr. Chairs, the contractor, and that 10 miles of the railroad' had been graded; and t h e requisite timbers prepared. However, there was no possibility of completion of the work for the season of 1837-38. The Apalachicolans, not to 'be out- done by their rivals, had planned an ambitious building program. The Gazette announced in March that there were now completed, or in. process of construction, 200U feet of continuous brick stores, on Water Street-each three stories high and 80 feet deep. The second, season of commer- cial competition between the cities - the winter of .1837,38 found Apalachicola retaining her suprem- acy, although her rival's efforts to divert trade were much more suc- cesisful now than in the preceding year. While the Saints were exporting more than 30,000 bales of cotton. the total shipped tby the older town exceeded 50,000. St. Joseph was undoubtedly making inroads upon Apalachicola's prosperityA, but" in doing so the railroad, company was compelled to -lower its freight rates, to such an extent that the in- come was barely sufficient to meet operating expenses, and no divi- dends could be declared on the ox- iginal Investment. The main ques- Lake Wimico route made St. Joseph tion seemed to be which town .more distant from the cotton fields would be willing to endure the cut- than Apalachbiola. throat competition the longer.

It was just 40 years ago that the. first Rotary Club in the world was organized in Chicago, on Felbruary 23, 1905, by Paul P. Harris, a law- yer, who suggested the idea to a group of friends. Because their first meetings were held, in rota- tion, in the offices of the various members, they called it the Rotary Club. During these past 40 years the ideas, of Harris and his friend-s have been. accepted by men of all nationalities, of all political and religious .beliefs. Today there are Rotary Clubs in more than 50 countries of the world. The general objectives of Rotary Clubs in every country are the same the development of fellow- ship and understanding among tfb business andi professional men or the community, the promotion, or community betterment endeavors and of high ethical standards in business, and professional prac- tices, and the advancement of in- ternational understanding, good will and peace. The local club was organized on June 27, 1941, with 17 charter mem- bers. The Panama City Rotary Club sponsored the new club at Port St. Joe. Dr. A. L. Ward served as president, and J. Lamar Miller as secretary, in 1941-42. The pres- ident in 1942-43 was Ted Morris, with Mark Tomlinson as secre- tary. Dr. Ward again headed the club for 1943-44, along with Tom- linson, and Floydi Hunt has served as president for 1944-45, Tomlinson still being the secretary. The Port St. Joe club has the honor of sponsoring a new Rotary "lub at Apalachicola. The charter will be presented on March 5, at which time Walter J. Matherly, district governor, will make the of- ficial charter presentation. Rotar- ians from Pensacola, Panama City, Marianna, ChattahoocheR, Talla- hassee, Quincy and Port St. Joe will attend.

CITY (Continued from Dage 1) "I would' be glad to take the posi- tion as municipal judge in the 'be- lief that any resident of the city called upon for any such position should be willing to serve, for the best interests of the city. I have served in that capacity before and I'm willing to serve again.") As the meeting neared an end, Soule brought up the matter of the municipal hospital, which has been operating lately at a consid- enable loss. "I would like to have a report on the hospital," said Soule. "I've heard a lot of stories about it lately, and all have been detrimental. I, would like to know how much th'e hospital is in debt and whether or not the city is re- sponsible for the debt." To which Sharit replied: "Our hospital is in debt about $12,000 to, $14,000 at present, and the city is responsible for *the debt. but, like any other new establishment, it, takes time to put it on a paying basis and I believe that in time the hospital will eventually start paying for itself, although it may take some time. If you and Mr. Smith care to meet with 'the hos- pital board, we should be. able to discuss the matter more thorough- ly. and I suggest we meet with them Monday evening." After a few more inconsequen- tial remarks' from and between' the three, members of the board, a mo- tion to adjourn was. submitted.
