During the final quarter they again started a march down the field, making four first downs on four plays, but fin- ally fumbled the ball and it was recovered' by the Sharks.

NUMBER 8 Richard Scheffer Is Reported to Be German Prisoner News Is Received! Here Sunday By His Parents; Was Missing In Action September 2 Good news came to Mr. and Mrs. 1R. F. Scheffer Sunday in the form of a telegram from the, American Red Cross stating that their son, Pfc. Richard F. Scheffer, who had been reported as, missing in action in France on September 2, is, being, held as a German prisoner. Pfc. Scheffer entered the service February 19, 1943, and was with an infantry division in France at the time he, was taken prisoner. Mr. and' Mrs. Scheffer have not yet received the aaidress of tne prison camp where their son is be- ing held, but when' it is available it will be published in. The Star' in order that his many friends can write to him. War prisoners atr allowed to receive any number of letters, but are allowed to write a limited number, so those who dev write should not expect a reply. This is the second' local boy be- ing held prisoner by the Nazis, as Paul James Farmer was reported taken prisoner some time ago ai* ter the plane in which he was a gunner had been shot down., Christmas Cards With Name Imprinted Will Be Available During the past two years The Star has. not carried Christmas ,cards due to the fact that the time involved, in imprinting names on them amounted to too much for the small profit returned. How- ever, this year our printer's, devil, Wesley Ramsey, will take orders for cards with name imprinted and do the work on his. own time. He may be contacted at The Star of- fice after 4 p. m. week days and all day on Saturdays. There will be a limited number of boxes of cards available, so get your order in early. ..... _..----- Ensign Thompson Visits Ensign Willa A. Thomspon .from Washington, D.

Our Country -' Right or Wrong BONDS ARE SENSIBLE INVESTMENT Some people here in Port St. Joe do not seem to realize that the buying of War Bonds is a matter of common sense investment as well at patriotism. War Bonds are not only the safest invest- ment in the world today, but they bring a higher rate of interest than any comparable security. A glance at the stock market will reveal that even the best grade corporation bonds are returning less, on investment than the 2.9 per cent yield on the E series bonds or the 2.75 per cent received on F nd G bonds. Moreover the War Bond buyer has the added advantage of being able to realize his money at any time without chance of loss by decline in j market value. It is wise for all of us to save now in order that we may purchase better commodities at TH TA OL, 1O M E im, ,,} -,; lower prices later on. In addition, investment in War Bonds takes surplus money out ot circulation, thereby tending to control infla- tion. 4 Yes, sir! War Bonds right now are the most sensible buy on the market, so let's all keep these facts in mind as we work together to put Gulf county over its quota in this Sixth War Loan Drive. PRIORITY FOR WORK A million veterans have been released from the armed services. Others will come from hospitals as civilians. Many are college mat- terial. What should they do? Get jobs or complete their education? Listen to one now at Florida Southern College who is completing his education at government expense: "Probably the most important thing I learned in the army was the necessity of edu- cation. The educated man was or became an officer; the specialist was advanced among the non-coms. I believe the educated man will receive priority when it.comes to getting jobs, and advancemefit when they get them. That's why I'm going to get my degree." This man reflected the mature thought of government specialists. Otherwise it would not offer to spend millions of dollars to com- plete the education of those whose schooling was interrupted by induction. Our advice to, these returning veterans is to get their education, to become what they were eager to be-lawyers, physicians, engi- neers, chemists. These men will guide their country after the war. We urge them to take time out to earn the most important asset they will need in their struggle for success. Returns From Visit In Alabama som last week-end. Miss.
