Members of the present tire

In a statement from Jackson-
viille sent to The Star, Roy M.
Coffey, district OPA director, com-
mended members of the Gulf
county board, for their long and
faithful service during the war
years and asked, that they stay on
the job for a while longer. "This
splendid .co-operation given during
the emergency and' continued dur-
ing the period of reconversion will
assure citizens of Gulf county rea-
sonatble ,prices for the cost-of-living
items they must purchase in the
coming months,"' the director said.

tioning boards throughout' the na-
tion is taking place gradually in

solidated, with the local board.

Grand Ole Opry Troupe
Here Next Wednesday

Residents of Port St. Joe and
vicinity will 'have an opportunity
next Wednesday evening to enjoy
the WSM Grand' Ole, Opry when a
troupe headed by Dan Bailey and
the Happy Valley Boys, plays at
the high school auditorium under
sponsorship of the Port St. Joe
Woman's Club.
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!


School Election Tuesday;

None Qualify for Trustee

Voters of Gulf county will go to
the polls next Tuesday for the pur-
pose .of voting on whether or not
a special fund, shall be established
for the purpose of building and re-
modeling school 'buildings, tnad
millage determined necessary for
this purpose being three mills, and.
is to be assessed over a period or
15 years.
In addition to the above matter,
electors will pass on the mfllage
for schools for the next two year ,
which has been set at 3% milib.
Three 'trustees are also to be
elected in the Port St. Joe district,
but Superintendent Tom Owens
states that no one qualified in
either the Port St. Joe or Wewa-
hitchka districts, and that it will
be necessary for voters to write
in their choice for trustees.

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.
The rich and the poor, the free
and the slave, 'the official repre-
sentative andf the interested on-

Our Country Right or Wrong


LABOR HOLDS KEY TO OWN FUTURE
The problem of high labor costs is becom-
ing a threat to industry. 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 !"

A sub-deb is a girl who thinks dishwater is
good for her mother's hands.

BRUTAL STATISTICS
Fire Prevention Week is over, but the aw-
ful drama of fire destruction and how it can
be avoided, which was paraded before the
eyes of the public within the space of seven.
days, should not be forgotten.
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.

Victory March Towrd Seeurtyi
America's largest army is its Army of War Bondholders-85 million
strong. From our farms and factories, from our cities and towns, from
our armed forces they come, again and again, to invest in America.


This great savings crusade, born of war, is one of our great
hopes for peacetime prosperity.
;' And marching within the ranks of these 85 million bond.
buyers are the Americans who also maintain more than 75
'million bank accounts.




A great arsenal for peacetime prosperity-bank
savings, War Bonds, Victory Bonds!
Together, wisely managed, they can help forge thk
weapons of peace:-jobs, industry, fair prices, stability,
family security.





Keep on marching toward security! Today,
while goods are still scarce and the threat of rising
prices continues, plan to spend wisely. Plan to
save regularly. Save, by buying more of your coun-
try's Bonds and holding them. Save, by build-
: ing up your bank account. You and your family
will reav the harvest of your sacrifice and thrift.

I FIRST ASSEMBLY
I LAID FOUNDATION
FOR GOVERNMENT

(Continued from Page 1)
lookers were stirred ,by the thought
that Florida was becoming a self-
governing commonwealth.
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

tially since V-J Day..
You may not be able to go into
local stores right now and buy the
kind of shoes" you want, but you

goods, we help keep the lid on prices...
keep our pledge to fighting men to pro-
tect their dollars' buying power. We
prevent inflation and its follow-up
of depression.


Victory Bonds will help pay the tremen-
dous cost of winning the war. They will
help bring our boys back home ... will
supply the finest of medical care for our
hundreds of thousands of wounded.


Victory Bonds form a reserve for "rainy
days". They provide a backlog for
needed farm repairs and replacements
. for modern buildings, improved
stock, better homes.


Held by millions of Americans, bonds
will provide a reserve of buying power
to assure jobs ... for veterans, for other
workers. This reserve will help maintain
prosperity for you and your community.


They hold dollars in store to pay for our
children's education right through
college. Victory Bonds purchased today,
will provide the scientific knowledge and
training so necessary in the world of
tomorrow.
