Cpl. Farris With

American Force

Serving In Russia

Writes That People Are Friendly
But Language Hard to Learn;
Task Force Is Commended

From a letter the editor re-
ceived this week from Corporal
Gordon Farris, we gather that he
was a member of the American
task force that established bases
In Russia for the recent shuttling
bombing from England to Russia
-and return.
The unit received high praise
for their work from the command-
ing officer in charge, and it seems
that Corporal Farris is now back
in sunny (?) Italy.
'But read for yourself:
"Editor Bill-I will have to ask
you to change my address, as 1

ent address is:
C-pl. Gordon W. Farris 1410552S

"I am somewhere in Russia. The
people are very friendly, but the
language Is hard for us, although
we have picked up enough to get
by, on. We had a pay day today
for the first time in three months
but we don't need any money
here as there is nothing to buy,
and food is very scarce, what we
can get of it-a little corned beef
one day and a small dipper of C
ration the next;, one carton of cig-
aiets every thi-ee weeks. They
did give us one bar 'of candy a few
days ago and told, us to eat it slow.
"There is, a small river close by
where everybody, men, women and
children, go in swimming and very
few have bathing suits. If I ever
go to school again I will know
more about what subjects to take

1. The first American task force
ever to operate from Russian soil
has returned 'to its base in Itaiy.
The manner in which personnel of
the Eastern Command met the re-
quirements of the task force for
two successful operations caused
the highest praise from the tacti-
cal commanders involved and from
all others who witnessed the op-
erations. The difficulties of estab-
lishing new bases under unfa-
miliar conditions and turning im-
mediately to the efficient servicing
of combat units are well under-
stood. The success with which this
was accomplished. reflects the
highest credit on thei efficiency,
responsibility and technical skill
of all officers and men who par-
ticipated, in the first. operation.
2. The co-operation and ander-
standing which you displayed, in
working with our Russian allies
set an example -for future Amserl-

Our Country Right or Wrong

WALTER WINCHELL ON WAR BONDS
Walter Winchell, in a recent broadcast and
in his syndicated ,newspaper column, has
something to say in regard to the purchase of
War Bonds that we believe everybody in Gulf
county should heed. Says Winchell:
"Many telegrams, letters and telephone
calls followed the broadcast in which this edi-
torial on War Bonds was heard. Man-
agers of defense plants requested a copy tt
reprint for 10,000 empolyes, etc. A ship-
yard wanted a copy of the recording to echo
it to its thousands of workers. And so
here it is. Anyone may reprint it with-
out permission. Just credit to the column:
"I have always spoken bluntly about the
subject of War Bonds, and I see no reason
to pull any punches now. I do not think
purchase of a War Bond is a patriotic sacri-
fice. I think quite the opposite. I believe
failure to do so is almost treason. In Ameri-
can history this should be called the War of
the Armed Forces because nobody else is
fighting it.
"It sounds silky, but the U. S. government
pays interest foT the bullets it gives to its
soldiers. And if the soldier is lucky
enough to get back to his home, he must help
to pay for the gun he carried. If he is
shattered and if he recovers, he must help to


pay for his crutches. Doesn't it make
you proud to drive that kind of a bargain
with your government? And to think
that the money is owed to us civilians who
never saw a battlefield!
"If the crews of the lost B-29s which
bombed Japan are lucky enough to get back
with their heads, they will help pay you back
for the B-29 in which they were shot down.
And if they do not come back, their buddies
will help to pay you for the bombs they
dropped. You get paid. either way. Yes, you
may call yourself a patriot for taking less
chance on your country than you do on a
race horse. And those brave little nurses
out on the Normandy beachhead, just as soon
as they finish the job of caring for the men
wounded while protecting you, they will start
right to work to pay you back for the band-
ages !
"Yes, it sounds incredible, but the posters
are true. You can come out with two
and one-half per cent in the same war that
cost some of the guys (who fought it) their
two legs. But don't let it worry you. If
you don't buy a bond, you won't have to look
every fighting man in the eye. Some
of them are blind!
"And another thing, Bub. Buying an
extra War Bond is much easier than learning
to speak Japanese."

"SECRET" WEAPONS
Germany's "secret" weapon, the robot
plane, which the Nazis boasted would play
havoc with any Allied attempt to land troops
on the shores of France, is an ingenious de-
vice, but so far as the record now indicates,
is of little or no military consequence. It has
caused some damage and casualties in parts
of England, but has had no effect on* the in-
vasion. The robot plane can not be controlled
accurately and has only a nuisance or terr.:r-
izing value.
Almost simultaneously with the :tppear:lnc:
-of the robot plane, the United States pre--
sented to the world a "secret" weapon of vast
potentialities and great power-the B-29
bomber. While the Nazi robots were causing
a few days' wonder, our B-29 superfortresses
were blasting the vitals 'out of a great Jap-


anese steel industry and ushering
in a new terrific phase of aerial
warfare that can be sent on short
notice to any part of the word.
The Nazis boasted of their "se-
cret"'.weapon; we mentioned nary
a word about ours until it was
ready for use.
Such is the difference between
Axis and Allied resources in this
fateful summer of 1944.

MANY folks have not. They're as
far from the real truth as this photo
in an amusement park mirror.

Proof? In a nation-wide survey
42% of the people sharply over.
estimated the amount of their last
electric bill. 59% didn't realize
that rates had been reduced in the
last fifteen years-95%didn't real-
ize how much!

Actually, the average American
family gets about twice as much
electricity today as it did fifteen
years ago for the same money.'

"For the same money." That's


the clue. You don't realize that
rates are down, because your bNiO
may be as much as it was fifteen
years ago-or perhaps even more.
But you have more electric apfli*
andes now. You're using more
electricity-and you get about twice
as much for what you pay.

Keeping electric production u
and electric prices down is not
easy in wartime-when other costs
and taxes are soaring. But your
electric company has done it-by
careful planning, hard work, and
sound business management.
