THANKS, PAUL JOHNSON Kearns, Utah SDear 'Editor Bill-I was reading in the home town paper that you were collecting shoulder patches of the fellows in the service, so here is my contribution. This particular patch is for the .Second Air Force and it is worn by the fellows who are assigned to that certain air force. I don't wear it, for I am not assigned, to it. As you probably know, there are different airforces all over the globe andi all of them have their separate insignia. I read about my good pal and nextdoor neighbor, Gordon Farrms, and was very glad to hear of him. It might interest you to know that we have known each other and lived right near each other since we were about seven years old. It is always good to hear about the old gang, and that is where The Star comes in. I always look for- wardi to getting the, home news. Not any news out here in this dry, dusty climate at present. Will try, to write more next time. Was glad to hear "our town" did so well in the, bond drive. PAUL K. JOHNSON.

WOUNDED SGT. LEONARD BELIN CARTER ANNOUNCES FOR COMMISSIONER Thos. R. L: Carter tYis week of- ficially tosses his hat into the county political ring with his an- nouncement in this issue of The Star of his candidacy for county commissioner from the Third Dis- trict. . The main plank in Judge Car- ter's platform is post-war plans for Gulf county, and especially for the returning servicemen and women. "If the people see fit to elect me," said Mr. .Carter, "I will urge upon my fellow members, of the board the, great necessity; for care- ful post-war planning for a b tter 'and more prosperous county toThe end that we may, do everything possible for the returning boys and girls who have, risked their all for us, and for the memory of and the bereaved survivors of those who have paid the supreme penalty for God, their country and posterity." a Study This Picture Army Signal Corps Photo Sgt. William Barbero, while taking the picture of his buddies who died to take Hill 700 in the far off Southwest PFcific, expressed a desire that it be published in the United States to arouse the folks back home to the fact that our boys are dying for them. Here, Sergeant, is the picture for all to see. Other pictures he made of that fight were so grisly-and in some instances so clear that recognition may have been possible so the Army has restricted them. Look again and buy War Bonds today. Sgt. Leonard Belin Wounded In Action Goes Ashore,,In Normandy on D- Day; Receives Shrapnel Wounds After Nine Days of Action First Sergeant Leonard Belin of this city suffered injuries from enemy grenade shrapnel ,on June 15 in Normandy. Letters from Sgt, Belin written from a base hospital somewhere in England' June 23 and 24 say shrapnel lodged in his right leg, lower abdomen and above the elbow on the left arm. None of his wounds are, believed to be serious, however, since he writes that he expects to rejoin his outfit soon. Leonard landed in France on D- Day and saw nine days of inten- sive action before he was flown to England for treatment immedl-' ately after he was wounded. Mrs. W. J. Belin, Leonard's mother, received a message from the adjutant general's office on July 4 announcing her son's in- juries as serious. Letters frmhn the wounded' soldier, however, seem more encouraging. Prior, to his induction into the armed services in February, 1941, Leonard was employed by the'St. Joe Paper Company. It is remem- bered hene, that his draft number was the first to come 'up among white selectees. After three years of training j. this country he em- barked February of this year and was stationed in England until the day of the invasion. ,T-e .djitant general has. In- fr.:rmd.. Mr. and. M rs.'

Our Country Right or Wrong VICTORY DEPENDS ON HOME FRONT A blunt warning that the war is not yet won came recently from the three top mili- tary leaders of the United States following a flying visit to the Normandy. battlefront These chiefs of staff stated, moreover, that the speed with which our boys march to Ber- lin will depend in large measure on the sup- port they get on the home front. "The battles now in progress entail heavy losses in materiel which American industry must replace," they said in a joint statement, "and any slackening in the needed production will only delay ultimate victory." Pulpwood is one of the most important of these materials of war upon which our fight- ing forces are depending. Production has been pretty good this year, but it still isn't enough to keep pace with war requirements. We cannot fail at this crucial period with- out nullifying the sacrifices of the hundreds of American boys who died on the Normandy beaches. We can speed the day of victory by cutting'all tl\e pulppAod, eed to keep riili- tary supplies a'nd equipment flowing iii un- broken convoys to the battlefields of France. 2'-.<--^ Now that the government has sanctioned the manufacture of alcohol for beverage pur- poses, we imagine production soon will reach staggering proportions. JAP CLEVERNESS BOOMERANGS The Japs, who have no conscience when it comes to devising schemes for subjugating lands 'they conquer, conceived at the China war's outbreak the fiendish plan of killing the Chinese will to resist by encouraging among the masses the demoralizing habit of opium smoking. To this end the drug was made available in prodigious quantities and at prices well within the average coolie's'reach, to such good effect that soon whole provinces were submitting almost apathetically to Japanese control. Jap leaders smiled to themselves when they thought of the profit they would make when presently they would force the growing mil- lions of hopelessly enslaved addicts to pay more-much more-for this body and soul- destroying product of the poppy. At the same time, they carried out an en- ergetic campaign among their own soldiers to impress them with the evils of opium smoking, stressing, that death and dishonoi would be the lot of any Japanese discovered to be a victim of the drug. However, recent radio reports out of Tokio announcing discovery of new preparations de- signed to "break the narcotic habit more ef- fectively than any other," give rise to a grow- ing belief among Allied military men that Irn. vading Nips themselves have fallen victim to the opium curse. They believe that Tojo s men, sadly disillusioned as a result of Allieo successes, in growing numbers are seeking relief from despair in- fantastic poppy-inspired dreams. Some even go so far as to say that the opium habit may have become a serious problem in the Japanese army. Certainly, if such turns out to be the case, it is nothing less than poetic justice, and ma-y well mean that the end of effective Jap re- sistance to the Allies is in sight.-Miami Post.
