E IIIIIIIII llIII IIIIIIIIIIIIII lIIII ;I lllll l ll lll JESSE STONE WRITES EDITOR Somewhere on the Pacific February 14, 1944. Dear Editor Bill-A few days ago I received a copy of The Star's "Pearl Harbor Edition," and I have been wanting to tell you I think it the best issue yet. Let's see some more of the same stuff. I did write you shortly after, but my letter got no farther than the censor's wastepaper basket. Yoo see, there is, very little we can write aboard ship, and when writ- 'ing' a newspaper we really have to "toe the mark." Today I received four copies or The Star for late December and early( January. I cannot express how much I enjoyed them. I regret very much to learn ot what befell two of my friends, Willis Rowa Landc Paul Farmer- they were both "regular fellows." I desire to' express my deepest sympathy to their parents,. Printing the addresses of all the servicemen available is the best idea you have had yet. I'm sure that all the -boys appreciate it as much as I do. I am filing the ad- dresses away. Some very interesting letters are coming from England an a elsewhere. Keep them coming. I wish I could do the, same, but I'm not in the Army, 'but in the Navy, nor am I at a `base, but on the brinyi deep, and that makes a dir- ferenice. You may change my rate on my Smiling address- to Sonrman.FirstI Class (SioiM/c), that -becoming ei- fective on February 1. Keep up the good work and keep The Star coming.

The idea, Attempt Made Last Week To Burn Theater Arsonist Frightened Away; Pic- ture Film and Kerosene Strewn Throughout Building An attempt to burn the Port theater which, if successful, might have resulted in one of the Worft fires ever to occur in this city, was frustrated Thursday night of last week when the projectionist returned to the theater after it had been closed and scared off the fire-bug. About ,midnight Thursday, Billy Howell, projectionist at the thea- ter, accompanied by Hoot Rowan, returned to the theater after' a "date" with the intention of sleep- ing in the projection booth, which Howell was in the habit of doing occasionally. As they opened: the main lobby, door they heard a noise at the opposite end) of the lobby, which has. a slanting ramp to an emergency exit, as if some- one had slipped and fallen on the ramp. The boys rushed upstairs to the apartment of Ben Rivers,, manager of the theater, and the three of them returned to the lobby and' turned on the lights.

And inevitably they say, "How does the government expect me to buy War Bonds and pay a heavy tax, too?" Well, we're here to tell 'em that they ain't seen nuthin' yet. As the war continues from year to year (and it looks like at least three more years from where we're sitting per- haps longer) that tax will continue to rise. And if they're any kind of Americans, they'll continue to buy War Bonds in spite of the taxes ,and in spite of their grousing. We think perhaps this thing could be solved to the satisfaction of everyone-but not with- out a lot of beefing, naturally, for that is our constitutionally-given right if everybody were compelled by some manner of means co put 25 per cent of their wages, or profit from a business into non-negotiable War -Bonds STARDUST and MOONSHINE By THE OTHER FELLOW Dr. A. L. Ward, while, out in the sticks on a call last week; on the way back home sighted a cracked plowing a small field. Thinking to se:l a War Bond for the credit of the Rotary club, that would be cashable at stated periods, the first issue' six months after the end of the war, the second issue one year after the end of the war and each succeeding issue six months or one year apart-all, of course, to be redeemable 'with interest ten years after issuance. Sure, we know, a lot of you readers will say that's autocracy with a vengeance. But: is it? In time of war the government is com- pelled to do a lot of things it doesn't do in peace time. If it is okeh to draft our young men, a lot of whom give 100 per cent of what they have-their lives-it should also be okeh for the government to draft (borrow) 25 per cent of what we at home are making. Andt if that 25 per cent should not be enough, wre should be willing to have the ante boosted to whatever figure is necessary for, after all, it would be for our own good and would. make a lot of people save their money who are now spending it as fast as they make it, it not faster. And think of the nice nestegg we would all have tucked away with which to buy a home, a new car, an airplane, or the thousand and one things that will be available when indus- try gets back to peacetime production. How would that 25 per cent be collected' Well, the government seems to be doing all right in collecting the income tax. The collec- tion could be handled in the same manner, except that it would be, on the gross income, with no allowance for dependents, etc. A few weeks ago the navy flying boat Mars landed in Hawaiian waters after a routine flight from California. The fact that the trip drew scant mention in newspapers was the most spectacular aspect of the flight. World- wide air transport has become commonplace. Humanity has taken another step forward without realizing it. Keep smiling-and buy. War Bonds! he stopped his car and sauntered over to the fence "Good afternoon," he said, "I'm Dr. Ward, president of the Rotary club." "Never heerd tell o' ye," was the response.

"Ever heard of Pearl Harbor?" continued Do'c, desperately "No, I ain't h'eerd tell o' her, neither," said the .powman. "Well, I'm selling War Bonds so we can win the war for Mr. Roose- velt and Mr. Churchill and avenge Pearl Hanbor," explained Doe. "Giddap," said the farmer, leav- in Doc standing by the fence. Doc made a return trip the fol- lowing day to check on his patient andl on the way back stopped at the farmhouse. He knocked on the door and; the, farmer's wife opened it. "I'm Dr. Ward,," he said, "ana I wanted to know why your hits band walked off yesterday with- out a word of explanation." "Oh, so you're the feller Pa wuz tellin' me about. He come in lags evening' and said 'A feller stopped by this afternoon and sed he had a friend named Roosevelt who gt* in a meis with a gal named, Pea. Harbor over on Church Hill anq axed me to sign his bond, .so I jest plowed off'." But in spite of Doc's failure to sell that bond, the Roitarians beat the Kiwanians by some $3000 in the bond-selling contest. If a man is as old as he feels, by comparison with the way I felt.

In Battle of Bonds Top Kiwanis Club By Some $3000; Losers Will Be Host At Chicken Dinner The "Battle of the Bondis" be- tween the Rotary club and' the KI- wanis olub ended officially Thurs- day night of last week, with the Rotarians declared winners by a score of $51,000 worth of E bonds to the Kiwanians.' $48,000, wh.icl would indicate that the Rotarians have pelnty of loose change lying around, for they came from behind at the last minute, to overcome. what 'ookeid like a safe lead for the Kiwanis aggregation. Doc A. L. Ward', head mogul oi the Rotary tribe, is jubilant at the prospect of all the free chicken he can eat (which is plenty), but Kiwanians, nonetheless, are happy over the fact that they shook the Rotarians loose from a neat sum that might not otherwise have found its way into Uncle Sam's coffers. f'he time and'place of the bi, chicken dinner, which the Kiwanls club will serve to the Rotariane will 'be announced at an early date. Terms of the contract calt for "a whole chicken on every plate." T'he Indians used to put on war paint to scare their enemies. The modern girl puts it on to charm her friends. (Continued from page 1) the officers, seemed to indicate that the culprit wa.s perhaps a soldier. More credence was given to this theory by the fact that ap- proximately 250 soldiers were in the city that evening from a train- ing boat from Camp Gordon John- ston which had tied up at the dock overnight. The police had been having some trouble keeping some of the soldiers in hand earlier in the evening. .That the wouldi-be arsonist could have been a pyromainiac was seen in the burning about 3:30 Friday morning of the large pile of cor- rugated cartons on the vacant lot opposite the, theater on Reid ave- nue, and it is the belief that the person who set this fire was the one who made the attempt to burn the theater.
