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. FRANCIS FROSS GETS SILVjER WINGS AS AERIAL GUNNER ,Sgt. Francis I. Fross of Port St. Joe today wears the silver wings of an aerial gunner in the Army Air Forces.

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.

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.

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.

I C. went in to see about my gas ra- TO tion coupons, and was I stunned, fo by those 'beautiful clerks (and I'm of NOT speaking- of Charley MC'CeI- chl lan). Looks like I'm going to have .gi 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 put in a line' of tadlies dresses like lo John Blount did over at Danley's w furniture store. My, old tillicumn in Dot Anderson has went and got m herself hitched to Frank Hannon, th former coach at the high school, Jot and now Frank is selling insur- 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 has up andi joined the Coast Guard. ch There was a boy with an eye for th business. ex Met Hig Stone on the street and ch: he. didn't recognize me. He doesn't look a day older than when I last be I saw him over four years ago. Bet du he still scans the sky in every dl- in reaction when he hears ,the fire ar siren blow-he's, got so many be houses scattered about town that m chances are about even that when tia an alarm is turned in it could be on.e of his'.properties. pi Editor Bill tells me that Austin be Huggins was inquiring as to who A 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 working for the other fellow. Now fr owns the shoe shop and' 19 ing well by himself. And I un- rstand he's had an addition to s family recently.' Congratula- ons, Mr. and Mrs. Austin, though' may be a bit tardy. Looked in on the last meeting' the city commission and founded at Joe Sharit, perennial, mayor, still heading the city govern-. ent, but that the other two com- issioners had. changed. Seems me that Bernard Prid-geon, and' me, other gentleman were shar- g honors with the mayor when left. New its B. B. Conklin and' J. Sullivan, a newcomer. Mark omlinson, fair, fat and' getting. rtyish. is still polishing the seat his pants in the city clerk's: hair, though T found that he's be-.; nning to get ready to be drafted. getting into t-e' service would, take ome of that fat--off his tummy' id from between his ears . whichh reminds me that I ran into ichardi Porter on the street out- tted in some of his old. clothes to Son a fishing trip. He's been in e Seabees a few months and has st 30 pounds--mostly around the aist-and: there, was enough room the pants he was wearing for e to get in too. *. Great life, e army, navy or coast guard.
