THE (The Star wants photos of Gulf county men serving in the armed forces. Pictures, which should be in uniform, will be returned.) PAUL JOHNSON WRITES US FROM CALIFORNIA 'Sat1.L Ana Army Air Base Santa Ana, Cailf. Dear Mr. Smith I have been reading all the letters in The Stai From other servicemen and thought maybe it is time for me to write you, although I don't have much tu say further than I've been here for two and. a half weeks in pre-flight school for bombardlie.rs. I read every bit of The Star, even to the ads. It is wonderful to read all the 'home town news 'when you're so far from home. I like that new column, "Stardust ,,and Moonshine," and tall "The SOther Fellow" to keep up the good work-it seems like you are at home when you read that column. We fellows who used to be. ca- Sdets are all over here in. a re. classification squadron. We will be sent to another post from here for -further training in the ground crews of the air force. I am not alone here, for there are hundreds 'morei- like me who have been "washed out,". or as they call it : now, "eliminated" because of physi- cal. reasons. It seems that the least 'little. thing will disqualify you from flying, for you have to be perfect in health to be able to man I fncle Sam's flying fighting ma- chines. Naturally, we all were hurt Sti',u we learned we couldn't fly, but we soon forget about that, for We still have 'a job to do. As yet I don't know where they are going to send me. I am here.now wait- ihg to hear' something about it. i This is a fine air base and 1 .. like it all right, although I hhd much rather be at Tyndall, Mar.- ,(anna or Apalachicola. I was in ,bombardier navigator pre flight school and would have been there for nine months before going on to gunnery or advance bomuiar- diering had .1I not been eliminated. My pals are still over there ana I go to visit them occasionally. I have" a brother, Harry, up at (:'ir". C'ooke, north of here, and he came to see me one week-end, but we didn't get together as I was not here at the camp at that time. Jilian Raburn, I hear, is at Camp Pendleton, close -to San D .,cO. which is about 35 miles f":.o aere. I would like to see him Sil .:.in make it down there, on a 'There isn't much news. here at t/i time. I am waiting to hear -.lche I am to be sent from here. Yours for a speedy victory, Paul K.

Christmas the discussion got around to the high wages being paid most workers today, how they go hog-wild with the money, buy-" ing anything, whether they need it or not, and how a lot of them buy war bonds and later sneak back to the bank and cash them in. Yesterday. thinking back over the con, versation, we could see where such present- day trends are going to have a definite infla- ence on the future, particularly that of the people leaning more and more on the govern- ment.. That was the case in Russia up until recently, and a number of plenipotentiaries ,..returning from that country have stated that tfii leftistis" tendency is rapidly disappearing. *\\\li;ill Willkie and Eddie Rickenbacker have co0W'e -'back home stating definitely that Russia wa,9 becoming a democracy, and they would not sma.ke that statement unless they had received tlha. impression, and very defi- nitely. Conversely one of them. at least, goes on to aver tha "if we (in the United -States) continue to -.nIve toward the- left, as we are doing, we .".ay easily be Bol- shevik at the end of the wai-." So said Rick- enbacker recently- Such a statement bear discussion. ' So busy with the war has this coutitry been that perhaps quite blindly it is walkli'gg to- ward a precipice politically. No good, "red- blooded American would advocate today "a revolution to install a state supreme, with' : every citizen a slave of the state. But with- out aiming in that direction he is unwit- tingly facing that way when he wants to let the other fellow make such and such a sacri- fice, for eventually both he and the other fel- low, the one flabby with over-indulgence and the other weak with heavy burdens. will have ,to lean for support upon the arm of the cen- tral government and look' up to it as to a master-the central government which in a democracy is the servant of the people. I, The steps might be these: i "But I'm used to sugar in my coffee, and John Jones isn't. Why should I be rationed?" "But-sh-sh-we have to have that meat. It's probably, sanitary." ( "Of course we'll strike. Do you want the garment workers to get higher wages than we do?" "Why not a subsidy? Should I produce corn for nothing?" r "Certainly Washington should boost crude c oil profits. Would you expect me to drill just o for fun?"' "What if I am able to work-I deserve a pension, don't I?" l "That's government land and a government t project-the government decides what tc, do h there, and we all can get jobs." "Why, the government organizes the party -naturally I vote for the candidate." t It is false, of course, to make any general r statements and put all the civilians in one category of extravagant- greedy, apathetic wasters so far as war sacrifices are concerned. But the appalling amount of wrong attitude in all walks of life makes one wonder if a "-leftist "let-the-state-handle-it" line of thought hasn't made the offspring of sturdy pioneers rather soft. Imbued with the idea that the federal gov- I ernment has untold funds and powers and ability, perhaps too many of us say to our- '/ selves that the government can handle this ' war perfectly all right and that they them- selves are going to have a gay time on the high wages and the excitement of the war P period. A certain percentage patronize black markets, for such would not exist without purchasers. Sure, there's much buying of war bonds. They're a good investment-not much sacri- ( ./ fice there. Besides many bonds have been bought for praise, with patriotism a side is-' sue, and shortly have been cashed in. Pleasure seeking and pleasure travel in these times may have abated a little. but in j - some localities there have never been such J - long lines at theater doors nor such full plat- forms at railway stations and bus depots. All these people have plenty of money to spend. But the rainy day always comes. Then what? There is little likelihood that the fan- I/ US tastic wages now prevalent in defense plants and shipyards can continue after the war, al- though it is probable that private industry, ii not unduly burdened by taxes and regimenta- tion, can offer jobs to millions to produce STARDUST and consumer goods so long in demand. But the MOONSHINE soda fountain clerks who now receive un- O -NSHINE dreamed of wages, and the mechanics who By THE OTHER FELLOW can match checks with generals, will have to --- face giant cuts in income.

But regardless of where it was started, stores throughout the, state which have been closing Wednes- day afternoons during the sum- mer will continue to dio so through- out the coming winter, and for the duration of the war, according to William N. Munroe, secretary of 'he Florida State Association of Retail Grocers. iMunroe said the plan was being continued in an effort to spread the shopping period and. avoid a week-end rush.

Munroe said he had'visited most cities throughout the state and the store keepers are all in accord with Wednesday afternoon closing for the duration.
