To the People of this Community It would be pleasant to report that the Victory Loan is simply a valedictory to a great home front war program, a sort of final salute to the millions of volunteers who have /worked hard _/ and unsel- f iflshly to sell i[l l 7you defense and war platform from which to pat ourselves on the back for a magnificent bond buying job. Victory bonds, however, are not on sale for the purpose of self- praise. The.government is ask- ing you in this last drive to buy extra bonds because billions of dollars in war bills are unpaid, billions of extra dollars must be spent to bring your uniformed men and women home, billions of extra dollars will be needed for care of the wounded, liquidation of war contracts and mainten- ance of occupation forces. Besides serving as guardians of the peace in enemy lands, Victory Bonds hold off the threat of in- flation at home. For your own good;, the Victory Loan should be your best performance of all the war loans. THE EDITOR Victory Bond Drive Far Behind In Sales Length of Campaign More Than Half Gone With But 2 Per Cent of Quota Reached With the halfway time mark reached last week in Gulf county's Victory' Loan drive, figures r. ceived from state headquarters In- dicate that but $1,293 in E bonau, has been sold', which is but 2 per cent of the county's $56,000 quota. .Local drive leaders forecast dif- ficulty in obtaining the amount ser, for the E bonds. Sale's of these bonds are lagging, they point out, ,7the-figures ind.i, -ting that citizen in the lower income brackets ar-. islower in purchasing these bonds 'in the present drives than in the other seven drives when 'the county ...went over the top to meet quotas. This ,final war loah sought by the government is 'to aidi in meet- ing staggering costs in caring for sick and wounded veterans, to pay3 mustering out money to the larges,- (military force in the nation's his-. tory, and to finish the job of mop- Lping up'war's aftermath.

Ship Builder Seeking Location In Florida Due To Labor Difficulties City Puts In Bid For Yard That Would Bring Approximately $13,000,000 Worth of New Business To State and Employ Large Number of Workmen Mayor J. L. Sharit last Saturday wired State Attorney Gen- eral Tom Watson that Port St. Joe would be greatly interested in having Andrew J. Higgins bring all or any part of his ship- building industry to this city. The wire was sent after an As- sociated Press dispatch had appeared in Florida papers stating that Higgins had informed Watson he was interested in bring- ing "some portion or all" of his shipbuilding industry to Florida "to get the benefit of open shop working conditions." Attorney General Watson said Higgins at a conference last week had authorized him to "submit a definite proposition un- J Dawn Over Deat, E' 'A WiE~i ON A SMALL ATOLL on the road to the Philippines.

Now that the war is over and our boys are coming home the matter of erecting a me- morial to those of our boys who gave their lives in World War II probably will come to the fore-and rightly, too, for such a project is worthy of Port St. Joe's best thoughts. Because of the magnitude of this war, its long duration, the extent of our nation's par- ticipation in, it, the heavy toll in casualties, and the fact that practically every family in this city and envisions sent one or more mem- ber's into the armed forces, historically it will be a landmark long remembered. In the past it has been the custom to build statues or erect plaques in memory of those who gave their lives, but the idea is gaining ground in many communities that the towns program should take the form of a "living memorial." That is, something usable, like a library, .a public building, a swimming pool, an' athletic field, a community center. Perhaps Port St.'Joe isn't .quite big enough yret to swing a memorial of this type and our memorial may take the form of a granite shaft bearing a bronze plaque, bt whatever tfO-rm the memorial takds, the wishes`of vet- erans now returning to their homes and fam- ilies should be the determining factor govern- Jing the type selected. WAR'S COST-VICTORY LOAN We've won the war-or have we? To be sure, we've won the fighting. But no, we haven't won the war. Because in order to win the war we must win the peace first. And jus]t so long as there is an armless or legless vet- eran without a new arm or new leg and trained for a job he can do, we haven't won the peace. We haven't been told such things as this too frequently. But the war's cost and vet- eran assistance will total about 434 billion dol- lars by next June. That's a staggering sun', but freedom is well worth that many times over. Someone must pay this cost, and that someone is all of us. That is one of the reasons why our govern ment planned the Victory Loan campaign for $11,000,000,000. That 'is why this money is needed to give hospitalization, training and opportunity ,to the men who sacrificed so much for us, so that we could one day raise' the roof when Japan surrendered. Sure we bought War Bonds. But that was to win the war. We didn't want to get licked and overrun by a horde of enemies. Not us. So we bought War Bonds. But now now comes the test. With no enemy available to overrun us if things go wrong we must not become selfish. We still have a job to do. Our boys are still in Europe and Japan and will continue to be there a long time. They'll need clothes, food,, the best of everything. That is another reason for {he Victory Loan. Freedom-even' the winning of a war- comes high. But it's worth it. Do you agree? If you do, you'll go out right now and buy more Victory Bonds, for the way things are stacking up, it looks like Gulf county won't even make half of its quota in this campaign. Paris restaurants closed for a day in pro- test. Customers began to want what they asked for.--Exchange.

We came through the greatest danger in our history, to our greatest victory. The price of that victory-in blood and in money-was high. We can thank God that the price in blood is paid in full. There will be no more deaths in battle, no more new casualties. But the price in money is still not quite paid! Your money is still needed by the men who helped to pay in blood. Hospitali- zation for the wounded, the disabled. Artificial limbs for the men who have given their real ones. And help for the wives and orphans of the men who gave every- thing. Your money is still needed for the education and training of our vet- erans-to help them find a real place in the America they saved for all of us. ' The VICTORY . Just as the money you lent (at interest) in the seven American War Loans helped pave the way for victory, the money you lend now in the Victory Loan will help secure the fruits of that victory. - Not only for our veterans and casualties-but for you. For these Bonds are still the wcrld's safest investment. They are still the way to insure yourself the security and peace of mind that come from safe, substantial savings! This is the last time you will be asked to buy extra bonds!* It's a great opportunity. to help yourself while saying "Thanks!" in a very important way to the men who made our victory possible!

Seems that everyone is having to work too hard to get into mischief. We have a new physical educa- tion teacher and coach by the name of Bailey,, discharged soldier and former teacher. Mr. Bailey has a program lined up the likes of which this school has never had. He has warned, us of basket- ball, baseball, softball, volley ball, track, etc., etc. to come. It seems Mr. Beckham is getting "mighty put out"' about some banfi members playing hookey from the night rehearsals. This week is Thanksgiving, which means a number of things -tests being set up two days be- cause of holidays, 'two days' holi- day, and TURKEY! Somehow we feel more in the Thanksgiving mood this year than we did tnl last four. There's no war going on, which is a real reason to be thank- ful. True, we can't have all tme trimmings yet, but the ones we have seem brighter .because this is a peaceful Thanksgiving. Men are still overseas but they're not having to shoot a gun with, one hand and eat cold turkey and cranberry sauce with the other and call that a bangup Thanksgiv- ing celebration. We have much to be thankful for this, year, and we feel everyone here knows It. This will probably be the most thankful Thanksgiving e ver experienced since the first one, and as they said then: "May God add His blessings on it."
