SGT. AUBREY WILLIAMS _WRITES FROM N. AFRICA Soto.- .vl'h-e in N. Africa:. Sept. 17, 1943. Dear Mr. Smith-I read your col- -umn in The' Star of "Our Boys With the Colors" and like it very much. I hear of lots of the fellows I used to know, and if it was not --for the paper I would never hear from them. I have been wanting to write you, but just haven't got- ten around to it till now. I .read in a previous issue of your request for the Stars and Stuips. I happened to, get hold of a copy, so I sent it to you. It is quite a nice little paper, and over here a newspaper you can read is really something. Most of the pa- .pedrs here are, in some other lan- guage, so to most soldiers they are no good. The Star gives me a lift-I wish there was' more of it. So keep it coming tilli I get back; I'll be a constant readier. / Sincerely, Sgt. Aubiey .Williams, 4PO 759 A.SN 34208906 149th 0. M. V. A.

The request is made in view of experience which has shown that much time is wasted by war de- partmnent personnel and the person making the inquiry-whether writ- ten or oral-if the number Is not given when the initial inquiry is made. It is pointed out that many mem- bers of the armed forces .have identical names and the only method, of absolute identification is by serial number. Any, other pertinent facts concerning the sol- dier, and which can be included in the inquiry, is of benefit and much, time can be saved by giving all data possible, as it often requires correspondence for complete infor- mation before the request or In- quiry can ibe, acted upon. < With the Colors >> (Continued From Page 1) Corp.

At the same time A book holders in the east rejoiced, for their allotment per coupon was raised from 11/2 to two gallons. There was no change *in the three-gallon ration in the midiwest and. south- west, so motorists of Port St. Joe in the A class are proceeding in the same manner as before.

Our Country Right or Wrong ANOTHER MILESTONE PASSED With this issue The Star enters its seventh year of publication with a record of six years of what we hope and believe has been six years of service rendered on behalf of the community. We could present in cold, figures the amount of space given to various activi- ties, such as bond and scrap drives, the Red Cross, the infantile paralysis campaign, home de ense, price control, gas and tire rationing, civic club activities, and hundreds of other matters that affect the lives of all of us, but we won't because we feel that that is our job of upholding public morale. We're satisfied to sit down, look back over the past six years and feel that we've done our job the best we knew how and that our readers and ,the. people of our community ap- preciate what 'little we have done. They can rest assured-that we will continue to do the job set before us in the future as we have in the past, without fanfare and without bally- hooo. S'WAY OVER THE TOP Gulf county went 'way over the top in the Third \,War Loan campaign with its $90',1 , surpassing by far even the rosiest expecta- tions of the biggest optimists. in other parts of the nation, while the goal was passed, disappointment has been ex- pressed because -subscriptiolns from large fi-... nancial and business concerns gave victory inl the canipaigng, not purchases by individuals of the S'ries E bonds, which was the main idea of fte drive. But we here in Gulf county, I ,Lurt St. Joe in particular can be proud 'of the fact that the greater portion of the-.money B -st 'ribcd went into E bonds, coming out of poc c't O the little fell.ovs. This is as it shouhi be, for the little ficlow is just the guy i.lo is gi.Olg to need these easy dollars he is able to save now when tlihe pinch comes later. But now that the drive is over we should not stop buying bonds, but endeavor to buy as many or more than we did before the re- cent drive started. The 1i, ;,, of bonds is the best safeguard against an inflationary- condition which might end in disaster. For the showing Culf county and Port St. Joe made in the campaign the thanks of the community are due to the able and energetic direction of the Third War Loan committee headed by Horace Soule. All committee merm-. bers labored earnestly and untiringly for theti country and their community. LET'S LOOK TO THE FUTURE The Star this week carries notice of an election; tot be held November 2 for the pur- pose of creatInp-, if the voters so desire, a pprm";ent building; fund for construction of ;school 1lildings in Gulf .county. Incidentally, at the same time school trustees will be so- lected and the village to provide money for sch'ooI purposes will be set. However, we're Cnot particularly interested in who will be our school trustees for the next two years because we believe that any decent and honest citizen of the county would make a good trustee, and we're not particta- larly interested in the millage to be set, for it is suggested that three and one-half mills will be sufficient (though ten mills could be I voted under state law) and our school board says that that will be enough to operate our school system, and they should know. But what we ARE interested in is that pro- posai to create a building fund. We all know what a hard time e liad getting a new school building heire through thle IWPA and what a typical 'T I'A building it is. From all inchdica- tions it will be ready for replacement within a few xa:'.--x-and where will the money come from ? That is where the building fund would come in. at oiylt' would it provide us with a new school plant, which is really needed now, but it will pro',ide a certain miodtium of employ- ment when this war ends and we can again construct necessary public buildings. We're for it.

SHARKS (Continued from page 1) by a 20-12 score. Coach Hannon said the boys showed up good, but lost the game in the first half dlue to inexperience. Score at the end of the first half was 20 to 6 'and during the second half the local lads held the Oyste'rmen scoreless and made one touchdown them- selves. Both scores for the Sharks were made by Tommy Kelly. An- other factor leading to defeat was the absence of two of the best players from the lineup due to in- juries, Wayne Taunton and Glen- wood Stevens. Starting lineup for this evening's game will be: Donald Linton, left end; John Williams, center; Glen- wood Stevens, right end; Gale Traxler, quarterback; Tom Kelly, right halt; Ralph Silva, left half. Alfred Rhames is out of the line- up today due to a pulled muscle sustained in the Apalachicola game and Silva will take his position at left half while Stevens will take Silva's place at right end.

He has turned the store over to me and he expects to spend most of his time in the future buy- ing beds, stoves, etc., for us. By doing this, we hope to be better able to supply you at all times with everything that is to be had in household furnishings., Mr. Sullivan has just returned from a short buying trip and tells me that we should have a fair supply of heaters and stoves, both wood or coal and kerosene, some time next week. We have a fair supply of blankets on hand now from $4.95 up, and more coming. We have plenty of window shades from 75c up, and still have a good supply of reconditioned iron beds and the old type coil springs. We can furnish you with' almost any type mattress you want for your bed, from a 50-pound cotton on up to the in- nerspring. However, we don't have so many innerspring mattresses on hand and likely won't be able to get any more. Aside from the few articles mentioned above, you will'find a bigger and better variety of all types of household furnishings. Won't you stop by and see us and look over our store and merchandise?
