Others in the troupe, al' of whom Set At $115,000 Of This Amount $56,000 Must Be of the Series 'E' Category The Victory Loan, last of the War Bond Drives, got underway in Golf county Mondiy, along with the rest of the nation. Quota set for. Gulf county is $115,000, of which $56,000 must be in Series E bonds. The drive, for individuals will extend from Oc- tober 29 through December 8. Dur- ing the period froma November 3 through December 8 'subscriptions will ibe received from all other non-bank investors rqr marketable securities. Quotas are based upon purchase price, not maturity value, and War Savings Stamps do not apply. Everyone should buy bonds to the limit in this final drive, not only to put Gulf county over the top on its quota, but because the U. S. treasury needs the money to meet the enormous obligations in- curred in the achievement of vic- tory, Government expenditures are being drastically reduced and this will continue. Despite this. however, the aftermath of war carries grave responsibilities that must not .be shirked, and' in facing this task the help of everyone is needed.. .Proceeds from th-i' ctory 'Loa will be used to pay the bils for munitior.s andi material already de- livered andi used; to pay the cost of guarding Germany, and Japan; to pay for the care of our wounded and disabled; to pay off an'd pro- vide 'benefits for eight million o- more veterans to be discharged by next July; and to keep the lid on price inflation. But above all these things', yon will be helping yourself, as for every three dollars you invest to- day will be worth four dollars to you ten years bence.. So support t e Victory Loan Drive by buying Victory Bonds .to the limit of your ability-and even go beyond that!

Mercantile Com-' pany in 'this issue of The Star is offering some rare bargains in the First Assembly Laid Foundation For Government Solons Gather. At Tallahassee In 1845 To Promulgate Basic State Laws By R. W. PATRICK Member of Governing Board, PK.K. Yonge Library of Florida History, Univ. of Florida On Monday, June 23, 1845, the usually quiet streets of Tallahas- see were crowded with visitors who were ,present to witness or participate in the convening of Florida's first .general assembly. All during the previous week they had arrived in the state cap,- i.tal. Some had reached, their diesti- nation after days of travel by stage coaches which ran over crude roads, o fte ni little more than clearings in t h e forests' of pine; others had, sailed fro m distant ports 'to St. Marks where they had continued their journey by coach, or horseback or by the Tallahassee St. Marks railroad, the only oper- ating railway in Florida. From the nearby plantations and towns a few had, arrived by private carriages, those huge vehicles with their bodies hung on, springs be- tween high, spoked wheels, and attended, by negro coachmen ana footmen. The presence of wagons and even ox-carts indicated the common man's interest in.the corn- 'nig events. These visitors i n, Taillahassee were representative o'f the people of Florida. Planters, lawyers, doc- tors, and merchants,' dressed 1t fashion and proud of their social dictinctions, "discussed, c u r r e nt problems and 'berated their politi-, cal opponents. Sturdy, independent farmers, clothed, in jeans made by their wives or daughters and filled with a knowledge gained from stump speeches, "pulpit preaching" or an occasional newspaper, boast- ed of their rights of citizenship. Here and there among the by- standers were a few poor whites, the representatives of a relatively small class in Florida, whose am- bition and physical ability had been sapped tby malnutritution and intestinal parasites. Although they lacked many of the material bene- fits of slaves, they gloried in the fact that they were free and, thus, set above the negro slaves, who cou'd be seen everywhere, as they attended 'their masters or loitered on the way to accomplish some errand' for their mistresses.

Greater efficiency and greater production must be made to off- set record wages. If high production levels can't hold prices down, the workers them- selves will be the first to suffer as employ- ment declines. To a large extent, the workers hold the key zo their own future and to. the future of industry. Apparently there is no obstacle under hte law to prevent the workers from brow-beat- ing industry into complying with any wage demands the unions may care to make. But so far, no way has been discovered to force consumers to buy the products of an industry whose prices are out of line. American workmen are riding on the crest of an era of enlightened industrial operation, such as the world has never before seen. By tolerance and reasonable co-operation with In- dustry they can stay on the crest indefinitely, enjoying along with the whole country the highest living standard ever achieved. Or they can wreck industry, turning the magnifi- cent hope of the future into bitter ashes of futility, ,: News is anything in the average commun- ity which prompts a woman to exclaim: "Well, for goodness sakes !"

It is hard to conceive of a home being de- stroyed by fire every four minutes. And yet that was one of the brutal facts that received banner publicity during Fire Prevention Week -every four minutes, somewhere in the U. S. a family loses its most precious possessions. It is lucky if some of its members, too, are not lost. Thousands of persons are burned to death every year. Why can't these fires be pre- vented? What causes them? They could be prevented. The reasons foi most of them are tragically simple. Smoking and matches are the first cause of fire. Faulty electric wiring runs a close second. Sparks on combustible roofs rank third. After that come defective chimneys, defective heating equipment, rubbish and spontaneous combus- tion; lightning and inflammable liquids axt, also among the prominent causes of fire. No fire department can protect us com- pletely against these hazards. When a cigaret or a match is discarded, a fire prevention ex- pert cannot be there to see that fire does not ensue. No, such simple precautions are up to the individual. And until millions of indi- viduals decide to do something about the men- ace of fire, the horror of an annual fire loss in life and property will continue to be witn us. Even as these words are being written. fire is destroying a home somewhere in these forty-eight states! In Toledo, Ohio, Mrs. Margaret Cook's car blew a tire at a railroad crossing, careened down the tracks, sTruck a signal switch, and threw a red block against an approaching freight train.

On this June morning of 1845, the elected' representatives of the people of Florida pushed through the crowded capitol square to their assembly halls. Fourteen senators and thirty-three representatives answered roll call of the general assembly; other legislators ar- rived in the following Glays, and by July 1 seventeen senators an d Forty representatives from the six- te e n senatorial districts and the twenty counties of the state were at work on the problems of organ- izing a government. In both houses of the legislature the first concern wa's that of or- ganization which included t h * election of officers. The senators chose James A. Berthelot as their president, but the representatives were unable to elect a speaker on the first day, for their time was taken up with the report of t h u committee of the St. Joseph's Co,- titutional Coonvention which re- ported on the general election thai had been held in May. On the following morning the house selected Hugh Archer as speaker and' invited the senate to a joint session to canvass the election returns. The senators, however, had agreed 'to transact no further busi- ness during the day as a mark of respect to the memory of Andrew Jackson, 'the news of whose 'death on June 8 had lb e e n received 1 n Tallahassee on the morning of the twenty-fourth. On the morning of June 25 the election returns 'were canvassed and Hugh Archer declared that William D. Mosely had been elec- ted to the governorship of Florida. Public interest in t he organiza- tion of the state government reached its apex on June 25, but the work of the general assembly was only beginning. For a month that body remained in session witnl the. avowed purpose of forming a functioning government and b e- fore dissolution on July 26 the as- seamibly passed 26 acts and 13 reso- lutions. Four executive depart- ments were established), namely state, attorneyAgeneral, comptroller and treasurer; salaries of from $500 to $800 were provided for these offices;, and the governor's salary was fixed at $1,500. The state was divided into four judicial districts (the judges of these circuit co-rts in joint ses- sion made a supreme court), and a probate court was, created f or each of t h e twenty-six counties. County governments were author- ized, and. the seven counties which had been formed- byh the territorial council aher 18 ss were recognized as valid political subdivisions ot 'the state. To pay the expenses of govern- in e n t a comprehensive revenue measure levied taxes on personal and real property, business enter- nrises and( professional incomes, and on slaves and free negroes. Executive and d'onartmental heads were elected, two United States senators chosen. and provision made for the popular election of a representative to congress to fill the vacancy caused v the, resigna- tion of David Levy Yulee. who h1d been honored by selection for the senate. As a final act the aes- semnilv voted its members the sum of three dollars for each day they hnd served and ten elpts npr mile for travel to and from Tallahasswee. The first general assembly of Florida did not accomol.ish as much ns the neonle desired. in fact it did not provide some things nec- essarv to the functioning of a . government, but it laid a founda- tion upon whish succeeding assem- Sblies could build a more nearly per- fect edifice of government. Rationing of Shoes Lifted Wednesday Good, news for Port St. Joe par- ents with large families was the announcement Wednesday from Washington 'that the rationing of shoes had been discontinued. Rationing of footwear, which be- gan on February 8, 1943, ecan be discontinued now 'because shoe production has increased subistan- tially since V-J Day..
