Drive. Brown brings a story whici r every intelligent man and womal in Gulf county who has a love o: e liberty in their heart will want t( t hear; a story which, will fill the I listeners with indignation and fire I them with a determination not only to do something about it t but to do it in such a way as tc prevent the possibility of a recur- Srence. It is' only from the lips of I the men and' women who have been .exchanged, who have them- I selves endured the ferocity of the "little 'brown 'brothers'," that the t true nature of the enemy emerges. Wen-zell Brown was an English professor at a Hong Kong univer- sity when war broke out. At the Stanley prison he helped' to bury the raped and murdered British nurses; he strove desperately to get the, wounded cared for, to ease the suffering of the less strong, and, finally, after seven months of this agony, returning crippled in health, aboard, the Grips6ho6m, one of the, fortunate to be exchanged.

The story hinges around two sisters and their experiences in their home near Lexington, Ky. The parts. of "Tempest" and "Sun- shine" will be, played by Carolyn Baggett and Onn.ie' LeHardy, re- speictively,. and each of the girls will have abundant opportunity to display their skill as, actresses, since the parts allow each player to run the gamut of emotions. .

In addi- tion $200 worth of stamp books were converted into bonds. Feature of the bond rally was a military display sent here from the. Apalachicola air field,, which consisted' of a ball turret, regular plastic turret, field -communication system, huge tank truck, and! a number of smaller items. In addi- tion, two WACs were on hand from Tyndall Field to ags'ist in the sale of bonds and stamps., "The cheerful and willing atti- tude of the personnel of our armed forces who participated' in the rally was something to marvel at," said Harry Mc'Knight, president Of the Kiwanis club; who ballyhooed the greater part of the afternoon, "It reminds us all' too clearly Of the fine team we've got on our side. Their spirit alone serves to sipu.r us to greater effort in put- ting over this drive. To our ever, expression of thanks came the in- variable reply, 'We, were glad to have had, a part in it'."

The spoken word is lost; the printed word remains. Our Country Right or Wrong' WAR BONDS SHOULD STAY SOLD How many War Bonds stay sold in Port St, Joe? The question is important because the government is raising money for the war effort through the sale of bonds and, if a bond sold today is cashed in a few months later, the transaction is of no profit to the government, but only a waste of time on bookkeeping and a waste of the costly paper on which the bonds are printed. The treasury has announced that for the month of November, War Bond series E, F and G were cashed in at the rate of 23 per -cent of 'the total sales. This means that for every $100 worth of bonds the treasury sold, $23 worth was cashed in. No doubt this was necessary for many purchasers due to personal emergencies. In fact, it was to meet just such emergencies that the bonds were made redeemable. About this class of persons we are not complaining. It is rather to those people who are able to retain their bonds and do not that censure justly attaches. In fact, we know of one per- son right here in Port St. Joe who has pur- chased- a $.,00 bond- during the iart two c'am.- paigns and" a's soon as possible has cashed it -in. This is merely for "show," and chances' are this person will buy a bond of similar denomination during this bond drive. In a crisis like the present, a person might be expected to lend his money to the gov- ernment without interest, or even give it out- right in view of what an Axis victory would mean to himself and to the country. But our government is paying interest on these bonds and they are admittedly the safest investment in the world today. On grounds of personal advantage alone, it is to everyone's gain to buy War. Bonds. But even more important is the-question of pa- triotism. The government needs money to. carry on the war, and the purchase of War Bonds is the" means selected, in addition 't6 asking congress for tax laws to raise the needed money. No true patriot would turn a deaf ear to the appeal of his country. Buy bonds and hold them at least for the duration-for ten years, if possible. STARDUST and MOONSHINE By THE OTHER FELLOW I blew into The Star office this week with bbood in myi eye and told Edtor Bill in no uncertain terms that after having this col- umn squeezed out of the paper for the past three weeks due to vari- ou causes it was going to be pub- lished this week, or else. And he, taking up the challenge, "said in a nasty way: "Or else what?" And I replied: "Orp else I'll wait 'till next week." (The way things are shaping up on the battlefronts all over the world the year 1944, when they write the history book, will maybe Abe known as "The Year When Adolph Walked the Plank" or. "The Year When MacArthur and THE FORGOTTEN SOLDIER Commander Atherton of the American Le- gion, protesting to the president and congress about delays in the handling of claims of re- turning soldiers, spoke with, if anything, too much moderation when he said a national dis- grace is in the making. It is a national dis- grace of the worst order whenever one re- turning soldier, injured in service, is per- mitted to be forgotten, and to suffer financial want, while his government fumbles and kills time when it should be springing immediately to his side. And Commander Atherton tells us that 1537 veterans of the Second World War are suffering from neglect by their gov- ernment, kept waiting three to eight months before their claims are settled. The causes, Mr. Atherton reports, are "jur- isdictional bickering between government committees and bureaus, official red tape, un- derstaffing of Veterans Administration of- fices, and in too many instances just plain official .incompetence or indifference." The result: "Our fighting men, whom we hail as heroes today, may actually be dependent on public charity tomorrow because of the fail- ure of reasonably efficient settlement of their claims." i -' i As long as a half dozen agencies of gov.ern- ment are allowed to dabble in veterans' re- habilitation, it can be expected that hide- and- seek will be played with responsibility, and that yesterday's hero will be today's forgot- ten soldier. Vocational training of veterans has been held up as long as a year in Wiscon- sin by Social Security's inability to act until the Veterans Administration has passed on technicalities of the disability. With every ad- ditional agency that enters the picture, the number of pettifogging rules increases, and likewise the number of two-by-four officials who would rather play safe than get things done. 4. ,i' Again we say: One agency for veterans is needed. It is badly needed. With every pass- inhl day it will be, needed more, desperately. When will members -of-co'ngress quit playing around with details of veterans' rehabilita- tion, quit raising the cash bids for soldiers' favor, and begin to discharge their responsi- bility to the men and women in the armed services by bringing into being an agency of government eager.and able to cope with their problems ?-St. Louis Post-Dispatch. In Fort Leavenworth, Kan., a draftee gave this reason, in writing, for asking deferment': "Convalescing from a traumatic perrosynovi- tis of the flexor digitorum sublimus in pro- fundus muscle at the metacarpsophalangeal joint."
