Will Appear In Interest of Bon
s Drive; War Dog and Exhibit
Is Also Scheduled
M Wenze'l Brown, a young man o
wide and varied experience, wh
h ecntly returned' from Stanley
l prison, camp at Hong Kong, China
t where he spent seven long month
as a prisoner of the Japs, wil
m speak at the Port theater nex
e Thursday evening, February. 3, ii
n the interest of the Fourth Wa'
Loan. 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.
In addition to the talk by Brown
Lieut. Irving Cohen. of Apalachi-
cola will have on the stage of tile
theater, onie of the trained war
dogs, and will put the animal
through his paces. There will also
be an exhibit .of equipment used
by the fliers at the air field, and
Cohen will be accompanied 'by a
chaplain and color, guard.
Proceeds from the sale. of tick-
ets that night will go to some
wrothy cause, such as the; Army
and: Navy Relief Fund.

Up to now, the edifor, of The
Star has been hard-pressed to
accommodate all the new sub-
scrilbers and still hold' the sub-
scription list. to their, number P.s
of January 1, 1943. But De-
cember was a bad month for re-
newals, what with Christmas
and the income tax, and' during
January we had 38 vacancies on
the list. Old subscribers coming
back to the fold accounted for
15 of these and, new subscribers
11, leaving 12 to carry over into
February.

Kiwanis Club Sells

$8500 Worth Bonds

Military Display Interesting, But
Air Show Was Great
Disappointrrfent

The Kiwanis club held another
of its "field days" Saturday on
Reid avenue and sold' War Bonds
and Stamps to the tune of $6,600
(maturity value $8,500). 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'."
Saturday afternoon 'a plane flew
over the city and 'dropped nuin-
bered' application .blnks., Those

and Rotary clubs. The drawing
took place at 6 o'clock, little Miss
Jennie.-Frost drawing o.ut the win-
ning numbers.. The first bond' went
to Norman F. Allemore and the
second, the Rotary bond, went to
Mrs. J. R. Norton.
Dr. A. L. Ward, president o the
Rotary club, was present at the
drawing and howled to high heav-
en when the Rotary club's bond
went to the wife of. the past presi-
dent of the Kiwanis club.
The anticipated "air raid"' on
Port St. Joe failed' to take place,
due to the fact that all the bomo-
ers and! fighters at Tyndall Field
the previous day had been ordered
to Fort Myers. However, the field
commandant did manage to sc.rape
up three medium bombers and
three fighters -and had them per-
form over the city for about ai
hour.

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."

on the battlefronts all over the

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." The army said no, a sore finger wasn't
a good enough excuse.

Wonder what ever happened to that Bay of
Fundy tide-harnessing project in which sev-
eral millions of dollars of the taxpayers cash
was dumped?

Splendid reports were given dur-
ing the business' session by the so-
