Dear Other Fellow We were reading in our favorite home paper that you had tuned in station KOA here in Denver and we noticed our name in your column. Well, that program starts at 9 out here, and that is too late. for us, as we have to be back early Sunday night to the post here. However, we Went into town Sunday afternoon and looked the studio over, seeing "a broadcast at 2:30 Sunday after- noon. The antenna of KOA is near our 'field, 15 miles out of Denvei. We read your column about the folks at home and it is our sec- ond-best column-our first choice is the "Boys In Service" column.

Coody, wtih the 3,39th Service Squadron somewhere in North Africa, was first sent to England, andl from the tone of the following letter he seems to have been greatly impressed with Eng- land and the people there: Somewhere in N. Africa October 23, 1943 Dear Editor Bill-Just received my August 20 edition of The Star till afternoon. Like the wrapper on it says, it is "A Letter Fromu Home." 'Now as for my writing again The, Star' carried a letter from Sgt. Bill in the August 20 issue --Ed.) you've brought it all on yourself, for here I am once again. SMy friends in St. Joe and all over the world will begin to think that I am your foreign correspondent. About the Roll of Honor plaque that has been erected for us boys. How about printing a picture of it in one of your editions, as I would like very much to see it, and I'm sure that the other boys from home would also. You ask me to write of some of the things I have seen, so will try to comply, with that request. As you know, when I was first sent overseas I landed somewhere in the British Isles and was sent into England. Of course every- thing I saw was new and strange to me, so I took it all in. One thing that first impressed me was how the English instead of flowers in their front yards had vegetable garidlens. In fact, around every home. foodstuff was grow- iing. And the first woman that I 'saw at work there was doing riveting. Then, on a trip to an- other part of the British Isles think of my surprise when I saw a woman sectionhand on the rail- road swinging a sledge hammer. Wow! I thought ito, myself, "Whaj1 are these people, a race of Ama- zons?" But it is only an example of how the people of England have entered into total war.

Dear Mr. Smith-Since I have been receiving your very interest- ing paper, I have gained contact with several boys in the service from St. Joe. I would like very much to have the addresses of others.

I'm looking forward to us cele- brating a Triumph over Togo with a Tear in Tokyo. If we can gain and keep contact with each other, the above is not impossible.

Our Country lRight or Wrong REMEMBER PEARL HARBOR Two years ago this nation was fighting mad but still suffering from the shock of the Japs' sneak attack on Pearl Harbor. There is no question about it, Uncle Sam was knocked to the floor, but, thank God, not knocked out. Our country, as a man, got up and fought back, until today the advant- age is on our side. But we must fight with all we've got to hold that advantage and win a complete victory. And to win that complete victory we've, got to back up our boys from Gulf county in the armed services who are scattered over the world, fighting our enemies that we and they may continue to live the life we have been accustomed to-free to'think, worship and live 'our own lives. We at home can make the Japs forever sorry they ever heard of Pearl Harbor if we back our fighting boys to the limit by doing our part, today, and every day, until Victory is won. HONOR-THE MERCHANT MARINE We know there are a few names of mem-. bers of the Merchant Marine in the Gulf County Honor Roll in this issue of The Star because we put them in with the belief that these men should be given as much recogni- tion as those who are serving in the armed forces of our country. We don't know how many men from Gulf county are serving in the Merchant Marine, but we do know that men from all parts of the country, many of whom are not eligible for service with the armed forces because of age or physical disabilities,' today are risking their lives upon the oceans to speed the vic- tory of the United Nations. Daily they are subjected to frightful at- tacks upon the sea as they bear supplies to Murmansk and Port' Darwin and Salerno and Oran and Melbourne and Liverpool. These men went into this service for the common cause-they did not have to go-and we at home should at least render them the simple recognition of their names upon our HonOr Roll. STARDUST and MOONSHINE By THE OTHER FELLOW Well, anyway, I was a hero for a day. All those telephone opera- tors I praised last week thought I ,was tops (I still hope they think so) and probably would have pre- sented me with a kiss or two. had not my better half fought them off. Ah, well, perhaps I'll run into them some day when I'm by myself and those married ops are not with their husbands. . And by the way, Mrs. Jones called me up to tell me that her name, is not "Flora Belle," but "Clora Belle." Hope I'm right on this na a ln. CI.r sd Corn 9,11 BUY AND USE CHRISTMAS SEALS What did you do with the tuberculosis Christmas Seals which you received in the mail last week? Did you send money im- mediately to the Gulf County Tuberculosis and Health association, and are you using the Seals on every piece of Christmas mail you send? Or did you send your money to the association, but have forgotten to use the Seals? Or did you return the Seals without the money? If you bought and are using the Seals you are completing a fine job. If you bought the Seals, but are not using them, you have done the first half of a fine job, but left un- done the second half-reminding others to buy and use the Seals and calling attention to the vital importance of the anti-tubercu- losis campaign. If you returned the Seals without buying them, you lost a real oppor- tunity to do your part in a big, necessary wartime job. If you have not paid for your Seals, please do so at once. If you sent your Seals back, please reconsider. Seals are still available and if you will phone H. IT. Saunders you will be sent some more. If you bought your Seals, be sure to use them on every card, letter and package you mail between now and Christ- mas-in short, finish a fine job. This year, above all years, the tuberculosis association can not do without you. Buy and use Christmas Seals! PULPWOOD FALLS ON BERLIN If you picked up The Star and read that American Liberator bombers had dropped 100 cords of pulpwood on Berlin, or that our powerful Battleship X had fired three salvos of pulpwood from its 16-inch guns and sank one of Tojo's dwindling airplane carriers, you could be excused for thinking that the editor had gone crazy. Well, it wouldn't be madness, necessarily- just another way of stating a fact. For pulp- wood such as we are cutting in Gulf county to supply the St. Joe Paper company mill to- day goes into the making of smokeless powder for bombs and shells, just as it does into hundreds of other materials of war. So if you can't get into the armed forces, but feel that you would like to take part in the shooting, just get out your axe and saw and cut yourself some pulpwood. Your Uncle Sam will see that it gets delivered where and when it will do the army and the navy the most good. It might be that one of our own Gulf county boys would make the final delivery to Hitler or Tojo. That's why it is so important right now to: "Cut-a-Cord of Pulpwood for Every Gulf County Boy In Service." Economists say that if Germany and Japan win this war the world will' return to the Dark Ages. And here we always thought the Dark Ages was before they discovered gas and electricity. Keep smiling-and buy War Bonds I I was in Griffin's market yester- day waiting my turn at the meat counter, when a woman asked J. R. Chestnut, the affable butcher, what time it was. He looked at his watch and replied, absent- mindedly: "Ten-thirty. That will be. four points. What else, please.?" Andi speaking of points and meat markets, the OPA says that butchers buying waste fats in addition to paying for the fat are allowed to give a couple of points a pound for it. That's a good idea to get in the waste fat, but trouble is, here in Port St. Joe, the butchers have no way of disposing of the fat and conse- quently do not buy it. Too bad, for if they didi I could get me a few extra pork chops each' month. 1I went in to see Charlie Mc- Cl.u. ll at thi C.ntio board office now, for Fora, ora an a e an r e ra o sound about the same on the tele* the other day and he gave two colored men a couple of forms to take home and fill out. As I deft the office they were standing out in front. Said one: "Whut's dese letters 'A' andi 'D' at de bottom mean, Willie?" And the other re- plied: ,"Dat means you 'Ask for' and 'Don't git it'." As usual, lately, Editor Bill has again warned me of a shortage of space, and so I'll close with best regards to all you ,boys from Gulf county in the armed forces and telling you that you're doing a bang-up job and I hope you'll all be home soon. "A marked trend towards the accented bust is being noted," says an item in a Sunday paper, Wonder if this refers to fashion or finance? Real brilliance is not advertised by bragging about it. MEN OF THE MERCHANT MARINE They are the men who go down to the sea in ships, With courage and faith serene, Sailing with cargoes on hazardous trips To the distant battle scene.. In the far-flung theaters of war Our allied soldiers pray That merchant ships with new supplies Are speeding on their way. On perilous seas our merchant men Grimly await their fate, Silent and tense, their only hope They will not arrive too latu. Exposed to bombs from th-e open sky, And torpedoes hurled through the sea, Over all the wide sea lanes they .sail' In sight of the enemy. Adrift on rafts, in the lonely seas They watch their shipmates die, Yet fearlessly they carry on- "Keep 'em sailing!" is their cry. They linger not in foreign ports, But hurry back for more; No martial music heralds them As they step upon our shore. For them there are. no big pai- ades, No heroes' welcome gay, No uniforms, and no applause To cheer them on their way. But they are heroes, too, these men Who sail the seven seas, Our hats are off to these valiant crews For unsung victories. They are the men who go down to the sea in ships, With courage and faith- serene. "God Speed You All""is the prayer on our lips For the men of the Merchant Marine. -Eleanor L. Neal. AXES AWEIGH Axes aweigh, my; .boys axes aweigh! Pulpwood is needed now; cut your cord today. Boys on the battleline, riding the foam, Must have what pulpwood, makes; Cutting now will bring them safe- ly home. Off, woodsmen, to the trees - swing axes high; Do not fail them now, else, some boy may die. Roll out the pulpwood logs, haul ,them to town, March, woodsmen, to the field, And strike the Axis with your axes (down). GULF LANDOWNERS PLANT PINE TREES Twenty-nine Gulf county land- owners have planted approxi- mately 367,000 pine seedlings since organized forestry work was be- gun in Florida, according to Unit !Forester H. A. Hardy of We-wa- hitchka. While trees, may be had at $2.35 per thousand, prepaid, Hardy says that in Gulf county Future Farm- ers, 4-H club members and schools may secure trees free this season through the. generosity of the In- ternational Paper company. The mill has already placed an order for a half million trees to be dis- tributed in Gulf and 13 other west Florida counties. Application for trees should be made through the district office of the Florida Forest and Park Serv- ice, Panama City, or through J. B. White, county agricultural agent.

And,. of course, there was the typical English quietness about everyone or everything you saw. I am sure that at first the peo- ple didn't know what to think of we Americans with our fronk en- thusiasm about the things we saw. Nor our type of humor, as it is quite different from theirs. I found that if you want a fight on your hands, just call a Scots- man an Englishman -- then start swinging. One thing that is very noticeable is the. class caste. If a man is -born of middle class par- ents he can never rise above that class. The same applies to the other classes. Until you have seen an English blackout you just haven't seen a blackout. After dark, if you don't know your way around, it is very easy to get lost, as most of the streets are narrow and crooked. Then when they have, those fa- mous fogs it doesn't help.

Leaves After Visit Here Mrs. Byron Eells Jr., and daugh- ter, Barbara, left Sunday for their home in Attala, Ala., after a sev- eral weeks' visit here with reia- tives and friends. ENGLISH PEOPLE THINK, TALK WAR, SAYS COODY (Continued from page 1) that we: were there to help them, and the hospitality shown us can only be summed up in the word's "southern hospitality.' In one Eng- lish town where I was. stationed I had the good fortune to meet a British family, and their home was always open to me. Though their food is strictly rationed, every, time I went to. their home, which was on an average of twice a week, they always insisted that I eat wiLh them. They never tired of asking me questions about the United States. I only hope that my love for my native land didn't lead, me to misrepresent it to them. "When I first arrived in England It was just as picturesque as the pictures, that we see of it shows it to me. There, it all was-the vari- colored rolling hills, the homes in the country with straw- thatched roofs, the homes in the cities looking all the same for blocks, the "pubs" (same as our bars) with their public and private . . And thanks to the fact that you men are fighting overseas today to preserve that very emblem of America's democracy, we'll be able, always, to sing "O'er the land of the Free And the home of the brave."
