According to word received by
L. P. Sutton, chairman of the 6th
War Loan Drive in Gulf county,
Camp Gordon Johnston .will co-
operate heartily in the ,drive here
byi providing a military display,
band, stage, show and a group of
harbor craft boats on Decemiber 7
-Pearl Harbor Day.
The stage show, which will be
presented at the Port theater, winl
feature star performers selected
from Camp Gordon Johnston per-
sonnel. Tickets for admission wilt
-be given with War Bond. pur-
chases.
The 318th ASF band. which ha*,
already appeared here a number ot
times, will be on hand,, and a cara-
van oof six "ducks," manned with
experienced personnel, will be, on
display, as will, several vessels
used by harbor craft units.
In addition there will be the
usual display of military equip-
ment, pictures, etc.
Chairman Sutton stated that at

This was some operation, but I
don't .care about another one.. This
island is just one large coral rock
and' 'is pretty hard, to dig a hole
in when .you're in a hurry. The
weather is much hotter than where
we were last; lots of mosquitoes,
and blowflies, as' large as June
bugs. Our living conditions are
improving, even getting ice water
to drink. We have one of oun
large electric boxes set up to fur-
nish the cold water.
I have received only two copies
of The Star in the last several
weeks, but am sure the rest of
our mail will be catching up with
us' soon. I always look forward to
receiving the paper. What's the
late news an.di scandal around St.
Joe? The Creech's and Brooks'"
write that there has been some
extra good fishing going on in
Gulf county lately.
I am :sending you four pieces of
Jap papepr money. I -don't think
the. owner will have any further
use for it. Will send some of the
other St. Joe boys a few pieces in
the near future.
Will close for this time-and
'keep The Star coming my way.

Sharks In 7 to 0 Win

From Blountstown


Final Game of Season Will Be
Played Here Next Wednesday
Against Carrabelle

The St. Joe Sharks' 11-man grid
team took the Blountstown Tigers
for a 7 to 0 ride last Friday evre-
ning under the floodlights at Cen-
tennial Field in one of the fastest
and 'best-played games of the sea-
son.
Tihe' lone score was made in the
third' quarter on a 20-yard, run by
Donald, Linton and the extra point
was chalked up with a line buck
by Ralph Silva.
The Blountatown lades, threatened
to score but one time, and that
was in the first quarter when they
shoved the pigskin down to the
St. Joe, 20-yard line. 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.
The Sharks' six-man team goes
to Carrabelle today, and the last'
game of the season will be played
here with Carrabelle' Wednesday
night, November 29.

order in his or
S her hand. The
two of you may
talk, it over at
your work
bench, in your
.office or in your
home. Will GI
Joe Pick up
phrases like "I can't afford it,"
"Why do they have to have more
money?" "We'll lick Japan with
one'hand tied behind our back"?
GI Joe counts on you to have
enough sense and knowledge of
the facts about the Pacific war
to, back him up in his foxhole.
The extra $100 War Bond you buy
today is a War Bond with the
most power. it gives GI Joe the
support he must have .at the time
when he needs it,'most. It tells
Tokyo you're in the fight to the'
finish.THE EDITOR.

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.

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.
