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.
We like the way you.write. about
the home news and we want to see
more of your column in future.
The Star is truly "A Letter From

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. They talk
war. think war, eat war, and
sleep war.
The people there seemed glad

LIST OF ADDRESSES
Camp Shelby, Miss..
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 wonder if you would be
good enough to run a roster as far
as possible and let us know where
some of the rest are located.
.Some' may now be able to meet
and have Coffee in Cairo. Imagine
the pleasure it will be, some time
in the spring, to talk of our home
town at a Party in Paris, anal just
a bit later maybe a Beer-Bust in
Berlin.
On the other side,, of the globe.
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. O-f
course, our final end will be to
return to a life of Peace at the
Port.
Sincerely,
LT. S. R. STONE.

THE GOOD WORK


T HIS community has every right to be proud
of the way it is meeting the appeal for
more pulpwood. We are proving that we can
get out the wood. Now let's keep it coming!

This war isn't won yet-not by a long shot.
Our boys will be fighting for quite a while.
They will be needing ammunition, food, medi-
cal supplies and all these things that are
shipped in paperboard containers are made
from pulpwood.

Pulpwood is our wartime job. Pulpwood can
still be a bottleneck, holding up America's war
effort. Our responsibility is to see that it does
not. No boy shall die because we have failed.

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

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

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.

turned wounded who are stationed

rooms. 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.
Well, so much for England.
Will say "30" while my candle is
still burning.

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."


MERRY CHRISTMAS, FELLOWS-
And may this Yule Season be one of happy
remembrance-and anticipating reunion when
the Axis powers are. subdued and Peace has
come again!
