CREECH BREAKS RIBS
DIVING INTO FOX-HOLE

A letter received, recently from
Seabee Kenneth Creech, who is
(or was) on the island of Munda
in the South Pacific, was written
on the back of an insert in The
Star nut out by the Port St. Joe
Kiwanis club during the fat collec-
tion campaign some months ago.
Seabee Creech, who is getting to


KENNETH CREECH


be: a regular South Sea correspon-
dent for The Star, says, in part:
"The. weather here is hot as h-
and other things alOo. We had five
air raids last night (his..letter was
dated August 14) and no sleep.
Have seen and smelled more dead
men than I ever want to see again.
Wounds and sores will hardly heal
in this hot, wet climate. It takes
lots of medicine and bandages to
carry on a war in the tropics.
"You wrote- about sending me
something. Don"t send. anything to
eat, as it will not keep in getting
here and we can't wear much
clothing, and my pack, rifle and'
ammunition is about as heavy, as I
can carry. Can use some THIN
writing paper and envelopes, also
a newspaper now and then, as wo
get very little news, of the outside
woild. I get The Star and always
enjoy reading it. Only air mail
reaches us in 15 to 20 days; othei
than air mail takes from four to
six weeks to get here.
"Have to catch rainwater in my
three-gallon bucket for. a bath and
then wash my clothes in the same
water. We smell like skunks most
of the time. I let some soldiers
use my mess-kit a few days ago
that had not had a hot cooked
meal in 30 days-had eaten co'.a
food from cans and slept in holes.
The army is doing wonders here
and going through hell to do it.
Our heavy artillery shoots over
our heads day and night and some-
times I go two feet high off my
cot. A good fox-hole is worth a
fortune and I don't fail to use
mine. It rains before; dinner and
after, and before midnight and af-
ter. Our fox-holes are now two or
three inches deep in water.
"I can tell you now that I have
been on New Caledonia and Gudal-
canal, staying but a short time on
them. Since we- left the States we
have spent 30 days at sea. There
is. (censored). I had. rather be,
-shelled from planes than with ar-
tillery, as we most all the time
get a warning of the planes and'
can get in a fox-hole, but artillery
shells are bursting around the seat
of your pants before you know it.
"I broke two ribs a few days ago
on my fox-hole, but can still run

In War Bond Drive


Chairman Soule Says Every
Gulf County Dime and Dollar In Stamps
Quota And Bonds Needed to
d War Loan Reach Quota

With the first burst of enthusi-
asm spent, volunteer workers in
Gulf county's Third War Loan
Drive have settled down for, a
steady siege arid a day-by-day ad-
-vance to reach the county, quota
of $56,039.
Reports from over the county
at the end of the first week of the
drive indicated yesterday that the
battle to "Back the Attack With
War. Bonds'" here is progressing
)- "according to plan," but that every
possible effort must be exhausted
..-- if the goal is to be reached.
"More steam is needed," said
-Drive Chairman Horace Soule yes-
te'rday. "The least we can do is
buy bonds and stamps to help our
men who are fighting the battle
for us. We need the help of every
man, woman and child, in this
drive, regardless of whether they
buy only a 10-cent stamp or a
thousand dollar bond: This is a
challenge to the will of everyone
to sacrifice to 'back the attack' oi0

This one's going to hurt!


LVASION COMES HIGH-in blood and money.
Part of the cost must be paid with human life.
That means deep and lasting hurt for many and
"many an American family.
Part of the cost must be paid in cash ... this
September. And that's going to hurt, too!
The 3rd War Loan Is Here!
To pay for invasion-to get the money to keep
iour fighting machine going-you, and every man
or woman in America, are asked to invest in at
least one extra $100 Bond in September.
$100 EXTRA, mind you-for everybody!
No man or woman can hold back. No man
or woman can point to his Payroll buying and
say," They don't mean me!" No man or woman
can say, "I'm already lending 10% or 12% or
20%-I'm doing enough!"
Sure-it's going to' hurt. It's going to take
more than spare cash this time-more than just
money that might have gone for fun. It's going


to take money we have tucked away. It's going
to take part of the money we've been living on
-money that might have meant extra shoes or
clothes or food! Money that might have gone
for anything that we can get along without.
Sure-it'll be tough to dig up that extra
money. But we've got to do it-and we will.
We'll do it partly because of the look that
would come over the faces of our fighting men


if we should fail. We'll do it partly because the
cheapest, easiest way out of this whole rotten
business is for everybody to chip in all he can
and help end it quick. We'll do it partly because
there's no finer, safer investment in the world
today than a U. S. War Bond.
But mostly, we'll do it because America is
right smack in the middle of the biggest, dead-
liest, dirtiest war in history.
And we're Americans.

Our Country Right or Wrong

OUR CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR
We've been reading a lot lately of possible
aspirants in the 1944 gubernatorial race, but
so far we have not come across the name of
even one who could possibly give Congress-
man Lex Green a run for his money. The only
one conceded a chance, to beat Lex was Fuller
Warren, but since he is now in the employ of
Uncle Sam, Lex -seems to have a clear field,
there not having been mentioned yet a man
who is politically big enough to beat him.
However, in our opinion, we have such a
man right here in Gulf county, if he can be
persuaded to make the race. That man is
Representative E. Clay Lewis, Jr.
Mr. Lewis is gubernatorial timber of the
finest sort. He has had many years' experi-
ence in conducting the affairs of our state
through his services as representative from
Gulf county over a period of 12 years. Dur-
ing the 1931 session of the legislature he
served as speaker of the house and conducted
the affairs of that body in a capable and fear-
less manner.
During the 1943 session of the legislature
it. wag -Mr. Lewis who worked assiduously
and with success to push through the pro-
gram set up by Governor Holland. Had it not
been for his acumen and perspicacity, the ad-
ministration program would have been a com-
plete failure. ,
We can think of no other man who is so
well known and liked throughout the state
as Mr. Lewis. His qualifications are of the
finest, and we believe that were he to toss
his hat into the gubernatorial ring he would
find strong support all over the state, from
far-flung Key West in the south to Jackson-
ville ill the north and Pensacola in the west.
How about it, Mr. Lewis? Are you willing
to be drafted for election to the office of
governor of Florida?

CONSTITUTION DAY
Prevailing world conditions and our par-
ticipation in the present global war adds in-
terest to America's observance of Constitu-
tion Day today, September 17.
The Constitution of the United States was
signed September 17, 1787, by the delegates
to the convention called to draft it. The dele-
gates had met in May at Independence Hall,
Philadelphia, and deliberated in secret ses-
sions for four months preceding the signing
of the document.
George Washington was president of the
convention and Benjamin Franklin, James
MVadison, James Wilson, Alexander Hamilton,
Gouverneur Morris and other distinguished
men of the time were among the delegates.
After its ratification by the required num-
ber of states, the constitution was taken to
New York, which was then the seat of the
government. Later it was taken to Philadel-
phia when that city became the capital, and
finally ,to Washington when congress de-
clared that city the permanent capital. In
1921 President Harding ordered the original:
copy, which had been kept in the state de-
partment, deposited in the congressional li-
brary, where it now is.
The anniversary has been observed more


regularly in Philadelphia than in any other
city, due perhaps to the fact that it was here
that it was drafted.
In 1914 the National Security League was
founded to promote instruction in the matter
of the constitution. Plans wvere made to teach
the meaning of the constitution in the schools
of the nation. In 1919 the league was active
in forty states. Under its guidance the day
was observed in twenty-two states and one
hundred cities that year, In 1934 the league
charged that the democratic president and
congress were engaged in setting up disre-
gard for the constitution. The observation in
1934 was devoted to criticizing the adminis-
tration through speakers, defending the ad-
' ministration's recovery legislation, insisting
that it Was constitutional.
A national celebration of the one hundredth
anniversary of the constitution was held in
Philadelphia on September 15, 16 and 17, 1887.
The day has never become as generally ob-
served as have other important dates in the
country's history, but now, with the fate of
democracy at stake all over the world, con-
siderably more interest is being taken in our
constitution, and perhaps before this war is
over, national recognition of Constitution
Day will be put into effect.


BATHING THE ALEUTIAN WAY
Taking a bath, even in cold water, isn't very
pleasant sometimes, but an army officer
writing to a friend in Omaha, gives this de-
scription of the conveniences of taking a bath
in the Aleutian Islands:
"The first thing you have to. do is to wait
until the mess is over at night, so that you
have a chance to steal two pails from the
kitchen when you think no one is looking-
then you fill them with what passes for water,
.which is just ice that you breathe on until it
gets unstiff enough to pour. You can't light
a fire, because if you do, you would probably
find yourself on the stinging end of a.Jap
bomb.
"Well, you take the two pails of ice water,

irritant, strip, and stand with one foot ift each
pail. Then you give yourself a good soaping
(soap that's bear fat mixed with bacon drip-
pings) until you are either fully lathered or
frozen, whichever comes first. Then you rinse
yourself gently by brushing away the crust of
ice that has by this time formed on top of the
water, dipping it out neatly with the cup from
your mess kit and pouring it slowly over your
gorgeous pink (from the cold) body, being
careful to cover the entire surface so that all
of you is frozen evenly.
"The glory of it all is that you don't have
to go to the trouble of drying yourself when
you have finished. The reason is that your
arms are now frozen solid and rigor mortis is
setting in. Of course, that really needn't con-
cern you, because there will' be a lot of men
from the club who are always willing to carry
you up to your nice damp, dirty tent and beat
you back to- life with the blunt side of thefr
bayonets. I always get a great deal of pleas-
ure out of watching them beat a man back
to life after a bath-just as sooh as he moves
it's everybody for himself, and there is one
hell of a race back to the pails to see who gets
the water for his next morning's coffee."

Red Cross Room Will Be

Mrs. Lovie Coburn, in charge of
-the local Red Cross surgical dress-
ing room, announces that a similar
room will be opened, Monday af-
ternoon at -the home of Mrs.. J. A.
Christmas at Highland View. Mrs.
Christmas will act as cochairman
and be. in charge of the room.
Volunteers are urged to sign up
for the making of these badly-
needed dressings. They will begin
work on the four-by-eight sponge
dressings. Work hours will be from
9 to 12 a. min. and; 3 to 5 p. m. each
day with the exception of Satur-
day and Sunday.
Reason for opening 'this second
room is that the war department
states that all October quotas of
surgical dressings must be com-
pleted by, the first of the year,
which means ; 80,000,000 dressings
monthly from the eastern area.

Here's what YOU must do to


Back the attack


N" ow, as America goes all out for
the INVASION your dollars
must join the fight, too! For the very
least you can do for your country-
and for your loved ones doing the
fighting -is to invest in MORE War
Bonds in September.
Think of Jim fighting with Eisen-
hower ... or Bill with MacArthur
in the Solomons or Bob up in
Kiska. They've given their pledge to
fight-and die if need be-for their
country. They're ready to go all the
way.
And we at home must see them


through alltheway, too! That means
every individual in the country who
earns a wage or draws an income or
has-accumulated funds must invest in
at least one EXTRA $100 War Bond
if he can possibly do so. Those who
can, must invest more. This in addi-
tion to your regular War Bond sub-
scription.
Yes, the least you can do for your
men in service is to do MORE in Sep-
tember. MORE in the safest securi-
ties in the world-U. S. Government
War Bonds. But do it now-it's for
the INVASION!

OVERSEAS SUBSCRIPTION
MAY BE SENT AS A GIFT
UP TO OCTOBER FIFTEEN

It has been necessary for the
publisher of The Star to ask for
a letter of request from a soldier
overseas when relatives or friends
come in to subscribe for the pa-
per for him. This is a ruling of the
army to conserve valuable cargo
space that otherwise might be
taken up by thousands of unre-
quested magazines and papers.
Now, for 30 days-September 15
,to October 15-this regulation has
been lifted, and The Star paid' for
by friends or relatives of men
overseas may be sent as Christ-
mas gifts. The, paper will be sent
for a period of one year for $1,
and The Star will send a notice
stating that a paid subscription
has been entered' for him as a
Christmas gift.
So, if you've been wanting to
send The Star, "A Letter From
Home," to your man in the serv-
ice overseas. subscribe between
now and October 15.

Youths Overpower

Sheriff, Take Car

Franklin County Jail Is Scene of
Break; One Captured By
Coastguardsmen

Two 17-year-old youths held in
the Apalachicola jail on larceny
charges, Thursday afternoon of
last week overpowered Sheriff
Will Lovett of Franklin county,
took his gun, locked him in his
own jail and used his car to es-
cape.
Shortly afterward the sheriff's
car was found abandoned beside
the highway near 'Indian Pass and
a search of the woods in that vi-
cinity resulted in the capture or
one of the youths by members of
the Coast Guard beach patrol, wh,
assisted in the hunt.
The boy., found crouched be-
neath heavy underbrush, held the
sheriff's' gun on the Coastguards-
men who discovered) him, but
while he was held in conversation
another member of the patrol came
up behind himn and overpowered
him.
Search was continued for ths
second escapee, with state high-
way patrolmen and Bay county of-
ficers called, in, but up to yestel-
day he had not been apprehended.

Urges That Barges Not Be
Allowed To Pass In Canal

In a letter to the board of county
commissioners, J., L. Sharit urge
that the board put out positive in-
structions that no tow be allowed
to pass another in the Gulf county
canal in order that the waterway
not become shoaled again as it dia
recently.
Shar.it contends that .the passing
of tows washes down the banks of
the canal, causing it to become
shallow. "If tows are not allowedI
to pass," Mr. Snarit writes Tne
board, "we will have a good canal
for many, many y.er.s, and it not,
you mayi expect the same cond-i-
tion's to develop as has maintained
the greater part of this year."
It is anticipated that he dredg-
ing of he canal, -which is being
widened to 100 feet at the bottom
.and dredged to nine feet in depth,
will be completed this week-end.
