To tha Peopla of this Communzty Thanksgiving is in the air. The spirit of the Good Provider hugs you warmly. What batter tima or reason to buy another extra Vic- tory Bond, the good provider of the future? S As you sit around the Festive table Ts t h is year. firstiyear of since 1939, remember the millions of men and women still In uniform in strange lands. In Germany about 2,500,000 Americans will be separated on this family holiday from fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, wives, sweethearts and children. Every extra Victory Bond is .a link be- tween home and the Tokyo or Berlin patroL There's self-interest in your .purchase of any extra bond today but there's service to your coun- try .too. You have most to gain by ownership of as many Victory Bonds as you can possibly buy. You guarantee yourself a better chance for personal peace and prosperity. You also help your government to pay the war costs and return home of men and women who will be badly missed Thanksgiving Day in your own home and your neighbor's home.

Chairman Harry Mc- Knight stated yesterday. "Perhaps the one thing that makes the job of' soliciting for any worthy need so discouraging is the fact that a few people make the workers beg for the very small contribution that they invariably give," said. McKnight. "The gener- ous gifts' are rarely begged for, al- though it isn't the size that counts -it is the spirit in which it is given. We workers are citizens of Port St. Joe, too. We see the need for recreation foi- the young peo- ple of our community, the same as those others who give without question. We hope that those to whom we have to beg are good cit- izens, also. We hope that they see the need' as clearly as we do. We know that they have children, too. "This campaign will positively be closed December first." he con- cluded.

That may sound like a plati- tude for, of course, no general and no soldier ever thought of retreating on the road to vic- tory. Even when the go):.'g is too'g-:, the soi- dier keeps on, ever mindful that one step back- wards means two hard steps to push forward again. The soldier knows. But what about us? There has been a battle going on in our own country for 41 years, a battle in which each of us should be participating. It is a battle against a disease-tuberculosis. The soldiers in this battle are volunteers who have "signed up" becaues they want to serve hu- manity. Forty-one years ago a group of these vol- unteers, both laymen and physicians, formed the National Tuberculosis Association for the purpose of conquering a disease which at that time was the first cause of death in this coun- try. The mortality rate was 200 per 100,000 population. Today the National Tuberculosis AssociaA- tion has 2500 affiliated state and local associa- tions, each with a well-planned campaign for 'attacking the enemy on hore .territory. The campaign has so far met with a large 'degree of success, for the death -rate. frdm tubercu- losis has been cut 75 per cent. Still, TB today kills -more people between the ages of 15 and 45 than any other disease. The battle is three-fourths won, but victory is not yet attained.' The forward march must continue-and it will continue if we, you and I, support the Gulf county committee of. the Florida Tuberculosis and Health Association which is directing the campaign here and which opens next Monday. We can do this by purchasing our full quota of Christmas (eals. These seals furnish the ammunition for the battle against tuberculosis. The sale of these seals, is the sole support of the Gulf county tuberculosis association, which is fighting for your health and mine right now in Port bt. Joe.

WAR IS NOT PROSPERITY Now is as good a time as any to debunk a frequently heard argument that goes some- thing like this: "Well, we had prosperity dur- ing the war, didn't we? Why can't we have peacetime prosperity, too?" The answers to these questions are simple. In the first place, wars are never periods of prosperity-they only seem so because the bulk of the costs of war 'is charged up to iu- ture generations in the form of increasing public debt, which is paid out of the taxes ot tomorrow's citizens. Actually, wars are na- tional calamities, and if any wartime prosper- ity lasted long enough, it would end up by ruining everyone. And as for the second question: "Why can't we have peacetime prosperity?" the answer iis: We can, especially here in Port St. Joe. In fact, that is what we are working for right now. But in order to have peacetime prosper- ity it must be built on a solid, lasting foun- dation. Real prosperity requires every citizen to do his part in building it. Industry must provide jobs at good wages, and workers must fill those jobs so that articles can be manufac- tured which can be bought by the money earned by a fully employed people. Right now, in other .parts of the nation, there is unemployment in many industries oc- cause those concerns are busy retooling their plants from war to peace. But here in Port St. Joe we have no reconversion problems. The St. Joe Lumber & Export Company is going right ahead turning out lumber for peacetime use, and the St. Joe Paper Company is plan- ning to expand its operations in the confident belief that the American people will put their shoulders to the wheel and start it rolling i, the direction of genuine peacetime prosperity. SSo this is the world at peace! In Argentind Peron supporters and opponents battle. In Java, natives rise against the Dutch. In Indo- China, natives rise against the French. Terror- ists are active in' a Jewish-Arabian contro- versy in Palestine. Internal disputes, intefr spersed with bombings and shootings, are prevalent in Bulgaria and Poland. Venezuela, is in revolt. Natives rise against the British lion in India. Communists and nationals are fighting it out in China. Peace! Hal! - Never trust a woman who tells you her true age.

Edwin Larson, state treasurer and insurance commissioner, is launching a campaign designed to inform the citizens of Floridia re- garding the risk they are assum- ing in purchasing insurance from companies which are not licensed to, do business in Florida. The commissioner points out mainly that suit against non-admitted colm- panies cannot be maintained in the courts of Florida; that these companies pay no tax in Florida, and that many of the contracts is- sued are very much limited in pro- tection offered. Larson said-, "These companies operate through the mail and over the radio and the only way to pro- teact our people is through somo publicity on the subject. I receive a great many complaints about these companies." Larson- advises the citizens or Florida to buy their insurance only from companies which are duty admitted and licensed in Florida, and any information in this re- spect will be gladly furnished by him upon request. --- -) ---- St. Joe Gridders Lose To Apalachicola 21-6 The St. Joe Sharks grid team j.owed in defeat to Chapman high at Apalachicola last Friday night by a score of 21 to 6. .Apalachicol'a' received the kick- off and quickly shoved the ball over the goal line for the fir's; score of the game.
