Carry On Many Activities


Circuit Judge


We have been unable to get com-
plete returns from the entire dis-
trict, but we understand that E.
Clay Lewis Jr., of this city was
named as circuit judge of the 14th
judicial circuit over Thomas Sale
of Panama City by approximately
a two-to-one vote.


Two Ballots Ordered
For May 25 Primary

Voters of Gulf county going to the
polls May 25 will receive two bal-
lots to mark-one for second pri-
mary run-off candidates and an-
other for a special primary to name
a state supreme court justice to
fill the seat made vacant 'by the'
resignation of Justice Rivers Bu-
ford. who retired 'from the iben'ch.
There will be very few names on
the regular ballot, since most of
the races were settled in the first
primary.
For state offices, voters will pass
on the governor and attorney gen-
eral. The only district office will
lie, that of state attorney, and that
wouldn't be necessary if Bart
Knight would withdra-w from the
race, since it looks like he hasn't
a Chinaman's chance against Mer-
cer Sipear.
The only county races -will be be-
tween Geoirge Core of this city and
Roy Taylor .of Wew-ahitchka for the
office of clerk of the circuit court,
Pete Strange and. Chris Martin for
county commissioner in district 3,
and Roy Connell and Tobe Gay for
the commission seat in district 1.

Defeated Candidates Must
File Last Expense Account

Joe. Hunter, clerk of the circuit
court, states' that all those candi-
dates with long faces (those who
were defeated.) are still required to
file their final expense statement
in his office.
"The law does not exempt a de-
feated candidate in the primary
from filing all these expense state-
ments which the law sets forth and
on the dates prescribed," said Joe.
"Some of the candidates- might be
under the impression that this is
not required when defeated."

Daniel of Weiwahitchkia divided high
point honors for the boys with 16
points each. and Vonnie. Ruth Fair-

IT'S TIME TO START THINKING ABOUT GRADS!


DEAR SHOPPERS:
"Your column isi dry, has no eye
appeal," said one of our most ar-
dent critics. We humbly, thanked
her for her interest and frankness.
"Do you think we. ought to put a
picture of Joan Cr-awiford or Clirk
Gaible in here?" sez I. "No, that
would only help Norrims McCoNum's
business up at the Prort," she re-
plied. "Alright, let's have a sugges-
tion," I replied (meekly). "Don't
you think a talking picture, pro-
duce~d 'by a professional, would add
ai little color and attraction?" "May-
be you've got something there," sez
I. Now, 'we're in the market for a
good talking picture, professional
stuff to mix with this amateur
Tattle. We solicit your help, and
maybe local talent will come to our
rescue and produce just the thing
we need!

"It pays to advertise; I look for
your announcements 'every week,"
said one of our most loyal cus-
tomers. "I'm n-.ver disappointed
when I come in to get an item men-
tioned in your ad, for it's just what
you represent it to be," Well, that
made us feel some better anc we've
recovered somewhat from the ef-
fects' of the experience related in
the first paragraph. We've decidrec
to continue advertising, wet or dry,
hot or cold. We have a message for
you that we can't hold-too good
to keep to ourselves. The p'en of
a Longfellow or Shakespearp would
probably put it in poetry, but we'll


use what we have plain words
and imperfect English. We hope
you'll understand.

Someone noticed Rialph Plair go-
ing back and forth constantly from
Boyles Store to the, Ritz Dry Clean-
ers with pants on his arm. "Are you
working for Boyles or Ritz?" he
was asked. "Both," replied Ralph,
"Boyles sells these Happ trousers
and Ritz cuffs 'em." Men, this is
the finest line of summer pants
we've ever shown.. It'll pay you to
select your needs now while stocks
are.'complete. New shipment just in!

A small but important item .
Dainty, sheer Diaper Shirts for
baby just the ticket for sum-
mer. Ladies, have you seen the new
Sans Souci Pantie Girdles? .
They're light weight, cool and com-
fortaible cost you only $4.98
and $5.98. Better take a look today.
See Mrs. Marium Skipper, our cor-
setiere. Little Duchess Printed Ba-
ltise Pajamhs for girls 10 t I16
just breezed in. Now, our 51 Gauge,
15 Denier Mojid Hose sells for

time. can you help u1. produce that

I wish to express my sincere appreciation for the loyal support my

friends gave me in my race for State Attorney on May 4th. You

gave me an almost overwhelming vote.

In the First Primary one of my opponents received 8,033 votes. My

other opponent received 6,946 votes. You gave me a total of

14.509 votes.

Let's keep up the good fight and invite all others to join us for suc-

Our Country Right or Wrong


DON'T HOLD YOUR BREATH
We still hear people talking about buying a
car, a washing machine, an electric refrigera-
tor, a-home, or something or other "when
prices go back to normal."
We don't want to discourage them, for any-
one has a perfect right to defer his purchasing
in hope of a price millennium, 'but, judging by
the evidence, it's going to be a long wait.
The inflationary pressures are as strong as
ever. The usual upward wage adjustments are
taking place. The national income is still at or
near its peak. The government is showing
little disposition to economize in any direction.
The cost of the E tropean aid program and the
preparedness program will turn more dollars
loose and lead to more competition for scarce
goods. Nothing, in fact, indicates the probabil-
ity of important price drops for any kind of
commodity in general use.
Stores have voluntarily cut their profit mar-
gins, discouraged consumers from buying high
priced wares, worked with manufacturers to
improve qualities and lower prices, reduced
theiroverhead to the last nickel,, and so on./
.This has helped to some extent to retard ini-'
creases-but it hasn't caused a swing back to
the 1941 price level. There is a definite point
past which retailers or any other group can't
go and stay in business.-They have to make
both ends meet like the rest of us.
We all hope for lower prices, but don't hold
your breath while waiting.

Both young men in the runoff for clerk of
