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.

States That Returning 'Servicemen
Expect To Come Back To
Healthy Community

Stating that returning service-
men expect to come back to
'healthy communities, Mrs. E. Clay
Lewis, Jr., chairman of the Gulft
County Tuberculosis Association,
yesterday called for support of the
,local association through the pur-
chase. of Christmas Seals which
went on sale Monday.
"Our men overseas shave seen
-the awful havoc wrought by war,
not only the destruction caused oy
gunfire but alsoby disease, which
finds ready victims in war-torn
countries," she said. "When our
,boys return home they naturally
expect to find communities which,
from the standpoint of health ann
security, offer them the best op-
'portunity for resuming normal liv.
ing. ;
"One way we can. help protect'
the health of our community is by
co-operating with the local tubercu-
'losis association in Its campaign
against the dread 'White Plague.
'Unfortunately, in 1944, the deatA
rate from tuberculosis; rose in 21
.states due,J n all probalbilty,; to the
si res and strain of war cond!-
tions. Tuberculosis is a communic-
able disease an,d wherever it oc
curs it threatens' the health o'
others.
"'Each of us here in. Port St. Jof
must assume personal responsibil-
ity for bringing this disease undei
control. One way we cap do this
'is by supporting 'the local tubercu.
losis association through the pur-
chase of Chris'tmas Seals."

Ship Builder Seeking Location In

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-

Our Country Right or Wrong

A PLAQUE OR A LIVING MEMORIAL?
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.

The lawyer pleads for all; the doctor pre-
scribes for all; the preacher prays for all, and
the working man pays for all.

TOKYO VICTORY PARADE


FOR THE AST TImE,, AME -c A CAIj'0Illvx!.


Well, it's over...
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!
Following the Victory Loan, the sale of E, F, and G U. S.
Savings Bonds will. continue through regular author-
ized agencies and through the Payroll Savings Plan.

IIIIIIIIIII lllll ll illllllllll llllllllllllllllllllllllllll
It's rather dead, around the old
campus, this week, what with six
weeks tests going on. 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."

. You keep saying: 'Tou can't buy a new electric range now
anyway.' I know you can't4 buy a new electric range now, but
you CAN do something about our wiring.' A range isn't the only
thing we want. We want a new and modern all-electric kitchen.
And besides, it won't be long before our electrical appliance dealer
WILL have the things we n'ed, and I want to be ready" ...

. Yes, John, there's something to that if we can be permitted
to side with your wife. Looking into the wiring situation in your
home is important, and you can do that right now. Remember
how the lights went dim that night you plugged in the electric
iron? That was because of your wiring. Modern homes need
more wiring than they used to, and if you don't want to wait
any longer than necessary for that all-electric kitchen, then .


YOUR O-WN
WIRING PLAN
Without cost to 'ou, and 'at no
obligation, we will make a spe-
cial wiring sketch for you that will
take care' of all the things you want.
Just call the Florida Power office
and ask to talk to the "Adequate
Wiring Man." And .
