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 enjoy The Star so much. My pres- ent address is: C-pl. Gordon W.

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.

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.

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.

You suffer and so does your work. Ready for an evening of relax- ation and enjoyment--a pesky, headache interferes with your fun,' rest, enjoyment or relaxation. DR. MILES Anti-Pain Pills usually relieve not only Head- ache, but Simple Neuralgia, Mus- 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. COUNTY COMMISSIONER Monthly Pains.
