To the People of this Community Some day in the next few weeks a volunteer salesman will ask you to buy more bonds. You may be tempted to answer: "The war's over,haven't you heard? Would you that reply to S 1 any one of # *' the 300,000 now fighting Sfor health in Military hospitals from coast to coast? Would you care to walk a patrol in Tokyo or Berlin with a GI and tell him "the war's over?" Of course, the bloody fighting is over. Your job in helping to clean up the money cost is the easiest patriotic chore any country ever asked of Its citizens;, loan of more dollars to be repaid at good inter- est in 10 years. Compare that job with the chore 3ou have handed to your own son or neighbor's son to spend countless days In strange lands to nail down the victory. Think you can afford to say no to the Victory Loan salesman? Have a talk with your conscience this very moment. Be ready for your Victory Loan salesman in spirit as well as in pocketb 9k.

Sunny State Service Miller's Standard Service St. Joe, Motor Company St. Joe Texaco Station Clark's Gulf, Station Kingry's Sinclair Station Mayor Sharit Issues Navy Day Statement The following statement was is- sued yesterday by Mayor J. L. Sharit, who asks. that 'the citizens of Port St. Joe join in observance of Navy Day: Tomorrow is Navy Day. The en- tire nation is paying tribute tomo;- row to our 'fighting navy-the greatest sea-air force the world has ever seen. October 27 has been designated as Navy Day because it is an im- portant one in our history. Just 170 years ago the Continental Con- gress received the first navy bil'. providing .for the original United States fleet. It is also the anniver- sary of the ,birthday of a great president Theodore Roosevelt, who loved the navy and did his utmost to make it strong. This year Navy Day takes in a special significance. We celebrate the spectacular achievements of Our ships and, 'planes and men in winning sea victories and forcinae surrender of the Japanese empire. But we also pause *to consider out responsibilities in laying the foun- dation for future peace. This has been a year of many plans for keeping that peace, but plan-mak- ing is an empty, fruitless. gesture unless we have 'the means to en- force these plans. Now, at the end of a violent war, is none, too soon to plan our navy's future so that such a war cannot recur. The only answer to the power of aggression i strength- strength to keep the peace; strength in many ships,; strength in far-flung bases; strength in the air; strength in trained manpower.. To preserve this strength must be our firm resolve on this, Navy Day -tfor in strength lies safety. Many Quail Will Be Planted In Florida Florida quail hunters will have thousand's of additional targets to bang away at during the 1946-47 hunting season.

Cost of the birds will be about $2 to $2.50 a pair. Liberation of the birds is ex- pected to begin shortly after this hunting season ends February 15, 1946. This will be the largest single restocking operation ever undertaken. Heretofore only about 2500 quail have been purchased' in a year for restocking.

Seems she has an V, especially fine colored cook who threatens to progr quit if compelled to go to 'the health office us of for a blood test. This housewife knows that speak the cook will be snapped up by someone else, mouti health certificate or not, and wonders if it would be possible to compel all household help No to carry health cards. This is logical, since it is necessary for all handlers of food in res- re could taurants and stores to carry such cards, and could we see no reason why household help should not be required to carry them too. Looks like a good project for the Woman's Club and Isn P.-T.

POST-WAR FLYING IN YOUR HOME TOWN By C. C. CAMPBELL, AMember, Aviatton Writers y C. C. AMPBLL, aociono Wohinton, D. C. Eldon's Model Airpark Now, a good deal of the guess- work is to be removed from deci- sions upon the relative advantages and costs of local airpark construc- tion. A model airpark is being built in a typical small community. El- don, Missouri, population 2,590. The idea was conceived by Eugene V. Fryhoff, in charge of the aviation section of the Missouri State Depart- ment of Resources and Develop- ment. Planned as a public improve- ment, the citizens of Eldon, led by their energetic and progressive mayor, Robert Reed, and his far- seeing associates, expect their air- equipment, ground marking aids, and communication equipment are planned. Future improvements in lighting equipment and surfacing material for runways and taxi strips are also projected and these and other facility improvements will be tried out from time to time. The model airpark at Eldon has been endorsed by three national avi- ation organizations:: the National Aeronautic Association; the Nation- al Aviation Trades Association; and the Personal Aircraft Council of the Aircraft Industries Association of America. "Vote Yes, Scratch No and Watch Eldop Grow" was the slogan that put over $25,000 worth of Model Air- ._-- -. - -- - ,.. MODEL AIRPARK being constructed at Eldon, Mo. Two turf flight strips 300'x2,000' and 300'x2,300'. Estimated cost to Eldon citizens, $25,000, including Service Building. This does not include hangar buildings, shown in sketch. The airpark is five blocks from the business district. park to pay dividends in attracting new enterprises and aiding in gen- eral the substantial growth of their city. Interest in its development, howev- er, is not confined to the immediate locality or even to the state in which it is to be established. For Eldon Airpark is to be a model from which communities in all parts of the coun- try can obtain basic knowledge of airparksite selection, construction, cost and operation. At Eldon, an ideal airpark site was located only five blocks from the business district. Within a short time after the plans were laid, an educational plan to acquaint resi- dents with all details was conduct- ed. As a result, the civic-minded people of the community voted in a ratio of nine to one in favor of an airpark bond issue of $25,000. Eldon officials have agreed to keep com- plete, accurate records of all trans- actions regarding the development. Airpark equipment research is to continue for at least five years. Per- manent exhibits of hangars. fuellng park Bonds. Newspaper articles, ad- vertising sponsored by most of the leading citizens and merchants of the town and the Lake of the Ozarks resort owners nearby; letters writ- ten home by local men in various branches of the armed services; a personal canvass of taxpayers to whom a full explanation of the proj- ect was made; and placards placed in most of the local business estab- lishments were all effective in pro- moting the bonds. Election day found a sound truck reminding people to vote for the installation with such slogans as "Vote Yes for Progress", "Put El- don on the Air Map", "A live town grows, a weak town dies," etc. Later a news commentator on a New York City radio told listeners: "Little Eldon, Missouri, population 2,500, shows big New York, popula- tion umpteen millions, how to get an airpark."
