JESSE STONE SAYS
HIS SHIP READY FOR
ATTACK ON TOKYO
The following :etter was received
this week from SoM2C Jesse V.
Stone, who is "somewhere in the
Pacific"':
D-ar Mr. Smith-I have thor-
oughly enjoyed reading the letters
from servicemen in The Star, and
now I will put in my "two-bits."
There is a great deal of difference
in writing from a ship and a home
base. Here, what we can write is
very limited.
, My ship is a P. C., the larger of
two types of subchasers. Our es-
sentia: duty is to ur.olect larger
ships fLom submarines. My indi-
vidual job is to pick up the sound
of any enemy subs around and
give such information on the loca-
tion and movement that a success-
ful attack might be made.
In the past few months this ship
has been stationed in. home wa-
ters, and during this time we have
had .some interesting trips while
convoying larger ships in training.
We have been through the com-
plete procedure of bombarding the
coast and islands, the landing of
troops and the removal of troops.
We learned how to care for ,our-
selves when in battle, with battle-
ships, cruisers, etc., and especially-
in attacking.enemy' subs. We have
been attacked by friendly bombers
and' torpedo planes, and we have
dodged torpedoes from friendly
subs and, destroyers. In fact, we
have received the most training
possible for all phases of sea war-
fare. We have worked with all
types .of larger men-of-war and
planes and are now ready for any-
thing that might come up in the
war zones.
I might go so far as to say that
within the next few months we ex-
pect to take part in the bomnbard-
ment and invasion of Tokyo. Wb
have been well trained 'for this
move and whenever it comes, we-
shall'be there with flying colors.
I thoroughly enjoy reading all
The Star whenever I receive it.
The column "With the Co'ors"
draws most interest, since it en-
ables me to keep up with some of
my friends in the service aild, or
course, it keeps me posted on the
home, events of interest. My copies
are not always delivered promptly
but are ever welcome when they
6o arrive.
I wish to say '"hello" to all my
friends, wherever they may be,
and wish them success in their
work for freedom.
Yours for Victory,
Jesse V. Stone.

Car owners who still hold the
old type B and C gasoline ration
coupons must exchange them for

Congressman Sikes

Speaks Before Two

Local Civic Clubs

Says War Picture Is Very Bright
And Says Congress Now Do-
ing Some Tfinking

Congressman Bob Sikes of Crest-
view as guest speaker Thursday
of last week before both the Ro-
tary and Kiwanis clubs, gave a
resume of the war picture as k
appears 'today in America. from
the political to the. fighting fronts.
Speaking briefly of the, issues
which face congress and the ad-
ministration, Sikes, while admit-
ting that congress did not see eye
to eye with the president on many
matters during the, last session,
said that 'this was a sure indica-
tion that congress was doing some
thinking itself, andi he expressed
the belief 'that the next session
would see closer co-operation ana
more concerted action.
Bob said that he felt that Mr.
Roosevelt would serve a fourth
term, adding that. "after all-he's
,still the 'champ' and seems to
thrive on punishment."
"The war picture is very bright.
indeed'," said the congressman.
"but we must still be cautious and
ever more diligent. Italy will prob-
ably fall before the year is out,

Payroll Savings Buys Comfort

For Your Fighting Relatives


Not all of your payroll sav-
ings and other War Bond pur-
chases are used for tanks,
planes and gunpowder. A part
of your investment g6es for the
comfort of your father, brother,
son or friend.
Put your war bond buying

most effective job in providing
for the care and safety of your
men in the armed forces. Fig-
ure it out for yourself how much
beyond; 10 per cent of the ag-
gregate income of your family
you can put into war bonds
above the cost of the necessities
of life.
Remember a single $18.75
war bond will buy for a fighting
soldier op the front: Two cot-
ton undershirts at 44 cents; two
pairs of cotton shorts at 76
cents; two pairs of cotton socks
at 34 cents; one pair of shoes
at $4.31; a cotton khaki shirt
at $4.64; pair twill trousers at

Oil Operators

Hold Leases On

5,000,000 Acres

Surveys Have Been Completed In
Keys Showing Several Prom-
Ising Locations

The Re6iTand!s District News at
Homestead reveals that wealthy
oil operators now hold' optional oil
leases on five million acres of
state lands and that surveys in the
keys area between Key West and
Homestead have been completed
with a geophysic survey showing
several promising locations.
It is understood that the group
operating in the Homestead area
are amply financed and if the de-
discision is reached to drill one o01
more wells, no outside finances
will be required and no stock will
be sold.
Interest in the possibility of oil
in Florida has been steadily in-
creasing. It is know that big oper-
ators have been securing leases all
over the state. Most drilling ac-
tivity of late has been in North
Florida. In fact, drilling crews are
at work now putting down test
ho'es, here in Gulf county which Is
in addition to a number of wells
sunk a year or more ago. Geo-
logical surveys in the Everglades
a-!'i Key area are reported most
favorable.
Ed Hamilton of West Palm
Beach, commenting on activity a
few weeks ago, hinted at startling
possibilities, while Senator Claude
Pepper echoed this thought in a
recent broadcast.

The new coupons, in general, will

Our Country -.: Right or Wrong

SHOE IS ON OTHER FOOT
The Nazis and Fascists have bombed hun-
dreds of cities in Poland, Belgium, Holland
and England and destroyed something like
12,000 churches and cathedrals, but now that
Rome is being bombed and claim made. that
one church edifice'has been damaged a howl
goes up from Pope Pius and others that such
raids are inhuman and unnecessary and that.
Rome is now an "open city."
Marshal Badoglio's government and Pope
Pius cannot escape responsibility and stop air
raids on Rome by merely calling it an open
city. ROme has been the clearing point for
men and materiel for the Tunisian and Sicilian
.campaigns against the United Nations and
has within its limits numerous munition and
armament-producing plants. Before it .can
claim immunity under international law, it
must be stripped of all defenses as well as
war plants and all facilities used in the trans-
portation of troops or supplies. Moreover, it
must furnish positive proof to the United Na-
tions 'command that these requirements have
-been, fully m'.t. Until then the Italian capital
will be' serving the Nazi cause. .
Both Belgrade and Brussels were declared.
open cities by the Jugoslav and Belgian gov-
*ernments, respectively, during the German-
advance across Europe, but the Nazis ignored
the declarations and heavily attacked both
-cities.
The Nazi-Fascist regime is a great re-
,specter of international law when it is to their
advantage, otherwise they ride over regula-
tions roughshod.
We expect soon to hear cries of anguish
-arising that Berlin is an "open city.".

REDISTRICTING PROPOSAL
In regard to this redistricting proposal,
people in the north end of the county would
'like to see two commissioners elected from
'their part of the county and two from fte
Port St. Joe section, with the fifth member
.of the board coming from a district ip the
center of the county.
Man, oh man, but wouldn't we like to be
that commissioner from the middle district
if such a proposal carried! He'd be fawned
upon and played up to by both sides to a fare-
thee-well. Anything he wanted for his dis-
trict would be his for the asking, and would
be handed to him on a silver platter.

A Mississippi newspaper recently used the
headline, "OPA Here Says All Must Stick To ,
'Ceilings." Maybe then we won't need ration
coupon 18.-Titusville Star-Advocate. That
way you'd be having a hangover without the
-pleasure of the night before.-Miami Post.
Looks Ake OPA has decided that the force ot
gravity must be controlled.


Wendell Willkie says the Republican party
"should and can win the 1944 elections with
a constructive, liberal domestic program of
expanding economy and a realistic foreign-
policy." He don't need to try to whitewash
the poor old G. O. P. elephant it is pale
enoughh already.


THE STAR. PORT ST. JOE, GULF COUNTY, FLORIDA


WHILE ROME BURNS
If high military men began bickering over
how the war should be run and accusing each
other of incompetence, it wouldn't be long
before something was done. Public indigna-
tion would force correction.
The men responsible for food production
and distribution are as vital to the war ef-
fort as the military men. After the war, the
food command will exceed the military com-
mand in importance. And yet the country is
standing by while disruptive influences ot
chaotic proportions tear apart a high war
agency dealing with food-the OPA.
,',:sig0ci OPA general manager, Lou
Maxon, says: "In my estimation there still is
no realistic workable over-all food program.
Operation in this vital field has been strictly
catch-as-catch can, and OPA moves have of-
ten been directed by expediency rather than
by any long distance future planning. -
The idea of OPA planning and executing any
food program without utilizing to the fullest
extent the knowledge and the complete co-
operation 'of the food administrator's people
and agriculture is just plain nonsense."
Which reminds us .that that onion we man-
aged to buy in Tallahassee last Saturday must
be turned over immediately to Jeweler Wilks
for gold-plating--we're going. to have it
mounted in a stickpin.

A TIP FROM MUSSOLINI
With much jumping up on their hind legs
to rant and roar, ,it is becoming increasingly
obvious that aspiring holders of public office
are going to seek renewed tenure on the
strength of their war records. We don't ob-
ject to that, but what we do object to is the
tendency to glorify themselves by intimating
that they have fought the war almost single-
handed-even to the extent of being primarily
responsible for the quantity and quality of
tanks, planes and ships with which our men
are fighting. That is the way of the dictators,
to seize all the credit from private citizens
for every achievement.
Therefore it is imperative that we be not.
deluded as to how and by. whom this war is
being fought. Due credit should be given to
the political and military leaders who are co-
ordinating and directing the armed forces.
Beyond that, the credit goes to the people for
whatever degree of military success the na-
tion may enjoy. \
From the men deep underground in the
mines to the men and women in the front o0-
fices, the job is being done by sweating in-
dividuals who are working) for the glory oi
freedom, not the glorification of the poli-
ticians.
Our political leaders should heed the igno-
minious end of the first dictator to fall in this
war Mussolini. He claimed the achieve-
ments of his people as 1-i- own. By so doing,
he brought defeat to 'i'-'-if and his nation.

WHO SAID SACRIFICE?
Our forefathers did without, sugar until
the 13th century, without coal fires uutil the
14th century, without buttered bread until
the 15th century, without potatoes until the
16th, without coffee, tea and soap until the
17th, without pudding until, the 18th, without
'-re, matche-s and electricity until the 19th,
without canned goods uutil the 20th century,
and we have had automobiles for only a few
years.
Now, what was it you were complaining
about ?

Speaking of governor material-Secretary
of State R. .A. Gray would make a good gov-
ernor, but if he could be induced to run we
would be in a predicament as to material for
..-. .,-'t ? st-ate. so it would be foolish to
try' to get him to run unless material for gov-
'enor turns out to be ns scarce as it appears
at present.-Highlands County News.


A young lady came into the office the other
day and asked us if a Rotarian is a fellow who
goes around a lot.

My old pal, Zim Zimmerman, with so
whom I had many a heated, argu- ing

departed, for other fields. I C.
went in to see about my gas ra- TO

by those 'beautiful clerks (and I'm of
NOT speaking- of Charley MC'CeI- chl

a lot of business to be conducted Ge
in regard to rationing. so
I find that Otto Anderson is still ar
managing to hang on in spTte of no W
cars to sell and gasoline held down R
to the bare minimum. He's selling fil
insurance on the side and I would 90
not be at all surprised to see him th

herself hitched to Frank Hannon, th
former coach at the high school, Jot

ance, too., when he can take suf- HI
ficient time off from telling Dot
how beautiful she is. A new
addition to the Anderson firm is
Mrs. W. M. Howell, who is making ca
a stab at keeping the books. W. tio
M. is still on the job, fat, saucy 'co
and jovial, but Little Vic Anderson tiE

There was a boy with an eye for th

Editor Bill tells me that Austin be

The Other Fellow is. Well, as I re
said when conducting this column ta
before, The Other Fellow might d(
be your next-door neighbor, he re
might be the guy sitting next you de
in the picture show or the fellow la
in the pew back of you at church ad
Sunday morning--in fact, he could pr
be almost any one of the dozens
of people you meet during the
course of a day. .. If you can
pick him out. I'll name him .
And speaking of Austin Huggins, ast
there's a boy who's getting along. yc
When I ldft here, Austin was ca
