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.

STARDUST and

MOONSHINE

We can't write much this week,
mainly because Harry McKnight,
who has a half-baked idea that he
wants to be a newspaper writer,
waited until press time (as' he al-
ways does) to bring in his War
Fund story and Kiwanis news. The
next time we won't 'be able to use
it, and mebbe we can break him of
his hbad habit. We went
fishing last Friday at Burgess
Creek and Mrs. Oscar Roberts let
on like she knew where all the big
ones hung out. She averred that
they were all getting away from
her, and we never saw her pull in
one while we were there (she later
stopped by the office and told us
she caught some whoppers but
we ain't see,' 'em yet, and we're
decidedly from Missouri. .
We understand Dick Porter is go-
ing to take back his old job as man-
ager of the Florida Power office
and that J. C. Farnell will b-.
transferred. to Wild'wood. Wonder
If he takes over chairmanship o0
the Victory Bond Drive, too, since
J. C: apparently has been too busy
to bring us in any dope on it. and
the drive opens Monday. The
city should hire "Hig" Stone as or-
ficial weedi cutter. Notice the job
he's doing on his lots adjoining
Danley's store? Best job of weed
elimination we've ever seen.

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.
The game and fresh water fish
commission has authorized Direc-
tor I. N. Kennedy to negotiate the
purchase of 20,000 pair of quail for
restocking throughout the state.
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.

Government Releases

Small game hunters will have
plenty of 12-gauge shotgun shells

These streams and lakes are a natural re- to

the cook will be snapped up by someone else, mouti

would be possible to compel all household help No

it is necessary for all handlers of food in res- re

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-

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."
