SOULE CONGRATULATED
ON BOND DRIVE SUCCESS

Horace Soule, executive chair-
man of the Gulf county war fi-
nance committee, has received a
nice Letter of congratulation from
W. W. McEachern, chairman of
the Florida war finance commit-
tee, for the good work done in put-
ting Gulf county over the top In

Port St. Joe, Floridia
Dear Mr. Soule-Oongratulations

all concerned) in your county the

finished over there,-and we must

siderable interest to reports of

Our Country Right or Wrong

CONSUMING DESIRE ESSENTIAL
The United States came into being because
a majority of our public leaders and the peo-
ple were consumed with a genuine desire to
be free men and the' masters of government.
The world has progressed because groups of
people had an undying faith in certain phil-
osophies of religion or human conduct in
which they believed.
How many people in the United States to-
day are uncompromising in their desire to re-

tarians holding the cellar position
undisputed.


tain personal liberty and democracy within
the framework of our republic? Of late years
there have been too many politicians insinu-
ating that as a nation we have outgrown the
constitutional ideals on which this country
was founded.
A majority of our people must have a con-
suming desire to retain independence at all
costs, just as our forefathers had the desire
to gain it at all costs, or the United States
as we have known it will be but an era in the
history books-bureaucracy will have sup-
planted democracy.
As a nation, we cannot survive as free men
if we submit to being the "tended herd" of a
socialized government toward which we have
been rapidly drifting.

There are a lot of optimists here in Port
St. Joe who think the war is all over except
for the shouting. Indications are that it's
over except for most of the shooting.

Wouldn't the country be in an uproar if
the news peddled over the back fence was
published in the newspapers?

misses his real teeth until he tries to grind a
beefsteak with a set of false ones.

For this achievement alone, you

Later on, while, subject to hartl-

you drove the enemy' from hli

from Mt: Macqior.-, Mt. Lungo, Mt.

ished him severely. His. losses la
men and materiel were great.
Throughout this period of bitter
.winter weather, under the mo.ost
adverse conditions of climate and
terrain, you maintained, a cheerfui-
mnes and enthusiasm far superior
to. that of your enemy.
Then came your gallant effort
on the Rapido. Let us bow oul
heads in reverence to the fallen
comrades, who crossed' that b:.-
terly contested stream and put up
a great, if losing, fight--as great
from the standpoint of sheer gal-
lantry and determination as any
recorded In the annals of our
armed forces.
At Cassino and Castellone Ridge
you were severely tested. You
suffered losses, but you captured
vital high ground from the strong-
ly entrenched enemy, and held it

were ordered to attack again-at
a critical time and, at a critical
place near Velietri, to break the
stronghold of the enemy defenses
east of Rome. History will record
forever your outstanding success.
In a week of brilliant maneuvers
and relentless assaults on one po-
sition, after anote-hr, Velietri, Roc-
ca di Papa, Marino and beyond,
you killed and captured well over
three thousand of the enemy;
routed him from his strong, well-
organized positions and drove him
across the Tiber in' disorder.
Your brilliant performance on
that famous battlefield was a ma-
jor contribution in the capture or
the fist European capital to be
recovered, fr'm Nazi occupation.
For your' magnificent accomplish-
ment here, General Marshall sent
a personal message of congratula-
tion to you and me. The German
army is still reeling from, your
blows. The relentless pressure of
your attacks will substantially
shorten the duration of the war.
Your victorious march through the
streets of the cities' of your enemy
cannot be long delayed,.
