[WITH TMl CPL. ROBERTS RECEIVES SPECIAL COMMENDATION Headquarters, XXI Bomber Com- mand, Guam-Cpl. William C. Rob- erts of Port St. Joe, Fla., and other ground specialists of this B-29 o01- ganization who took up the un- familiar task of airbase construc- tion in addition to their regular du- ties, have received a special com- mendation from Brigadier General H. S. Hansell, Jr., Commanding General, XXI Bomber Command. With aviation engineers absorbed in the priority task of completing the giant airstrip, ground echelons were called upon for the unusual assignment of building adiministra- tive and service facilities as well as living quarters. Men like Cor- poral Roberts, whose regular job Is clerical, moved in on the area of battle wreckage and, in less than 20 weeks B-29 superfortresses were bombing Tokyo from the completed base on Saipan.

Old St. Joseph Is Incorporated and Paper Establishei Attempt Made To Have Cit Made County Seat In Place of Apalachicola " (Third Article of a Series) While the railroad, from St Joseph to ola., was being corn pleted, the promoters were not idlE in other directions. The shoals a the mouth of Lake Wimico were re moved and the channel widened The sale of the lots of the. new town was announced fore Decem ber *14, 1835. The settlement was incorporated 'by an act of the legs lative council of 1836. This pro vided for the establishment of E free school, for the support of the port, for the regulation of taverns markets and quarantine, in addi- tion to prescribing the form of go 'erfnnent. The Bank of St. Joseph, with a capital of $1,000,000, and the St Joseph Insurance Company, with a capital of the same amount, were also incorporated by this session of the council. It must be added. however, that both of these enact- ments were annulled in July, 1836, by the United States congress. 'The necessity for advertising for the successful development of the new enterprise was. not forgotten. The home office of the publicity department was apparently The Advertiser of Apalachicola, still in the hands of R. Dinsmore West- cott. In November, 1835, he issued the first number of the St. Joseph Telegraph, although he probably still had his publication office in Apalachicola. Soon afterwards the two papers were. merged, if indeed the old journal was not perma- nently suspended before the new one. appeared. Sometime before March 10, 1836, The Telegraph was moved, to St. Joseph. Westcott and his superiors were extremely energetic in ad- vertising the town and, it must be admitted, their rival, the Apalachi- cola Land Company, was just as industrious in decrying it, with the result that every Florida newspa- per of the period and many. in ad- jacent states were filled with ma- terial relating to the enterprise.. So many communications poured in on the editor of The Floridian of Tallahassee that he gave notice that he would publish no articles about Apalachicola and St. Joseph except as paid advertisements. Be- fore the end of July, 1836, West- cott was superseded by Peter W. Gautier, Jr., a man whose name was destined to become so closely allied with St. Joseph in the pop- ular mind, ,that whenever people spoke of the one they also thought of the other. Gautier was. the best stylist among the newspaper men of the territory; he was keen, shrewd and decidedly not over-scrupulous. (Continued on Page 4) SMITH BUYS DRUG STORE BUILDING J. R.

Most mothers here know how l.ngy-looking their babies' diapers appear when washed in the water we have. Well, the laundry guar- antees that the diapers will come back "white as' drifted snow." And, too, each bag of diapers sent to the laundry will be washed individually.

Been 'Missing In Action' Since Raid Over Germany On February 22, 1944 Word'was received last week by Mrs. Marigene Taunton from the American Red Cross that her hus- band Lt. Howard C. Taunton, Who hadl previously been reported as missing in action, is now officials' reported to be dead. Lieutenant Taunton, 23, son of Mrs. C. C. Taunton of this city, was reported missing in' action February 22, 1944, after an air raid on airplane plants at Regensburg, Germany, in which he participated. He enlisted in the Army Air Corps in April, 1942, and was, called to active service August 25. He took pre-flight training at Kelly Field, San Antonio, Texas; primary train- ing at Avenger Fieldl Sweetwater, Texas; basic training at Randolpth Field, Texas, and advanced train- ing at Mopre Field, Mission, Texas, receiving his commission as sec- ond lieutenant in May, 1943. Howard was stationed at Dale Mabry Fieldl, Tallahassee, for a time, training as a P-47 pursuit pilot, and then after being com missioned first lieutenant, went to Walla Walla, Wash., on a B-17 as. co-pilot, leaving there to go over- 'seas-'in mSeptember, 1943. He was the recipient of the Air Medal and Oak Leaf Cluster. Everyone had hoped that favor- able word would be received as to the safety of Lieutenant Taunton, and now that he is definitely re- ported killed in action the. sympa- thy of the etnire community goes out to his wife, mother and sisters. RELIEF FUND DRIVE OPENED BY CHURCH Rev. 0. D. Langston announces that the local Methodist Church is taking part in the nation-wide Crusade for Christ in which Meth- odlist churches hope to raise $25,- 000,000 for relief and reconstruc- tion when the war is over. [More than. half will be spent in war devastated areas for food, med- ical supplies, clothing andi spiritual ministry, said Rev. Langston, and another appropriation will give scholarships' to leading nationals of several countries for attending American colleges. The drive for funds will occur during the week of February 11 to 17, and all money will be used for emergency, war-caused needs at home and abroad. None will be spent for the regular program of the church, ndr for recurring ex- penses in new programs. *- CLUBS WILL JOIN TO HEAR TALK BY MILLARD DAVIDSON A joint meeting of the Parent-.

Our Country J Right or Wrong NEW TRANSPORTATION The editor of the Port St. Joe Star is wor- ried, and rightly so, because his community is not mentioned in the plans for building air- ports throughout the state after the war. Ifi those communities where such plans have been announced, so little interest is in- dicated that we are forced to the conclusion that most people do not appreciate the im- portance of air- travel as an aid to building their community. e It may be that some of us expect too much in the way of air transportation after, the war, but there is no doubt that it will be one of the major means of travel and transporta- tion in the future. How far in the future we cannot say. However, we are confident that he community which does not go after every chance to make their community an air travel center will regret it within another quarter century. There are people alive today who can re- member the great effort and large sums spent by communities to induce railroads to build through their territory, and many who are not very old. can nlaime towns that grew into cities as 'a result' of rail connections, and others that dwindeld, to ghost towns when they were bypassed a few miles when the rails yvere laid. Sebring has great possibilities of growth due to her fortunate location and recognition as a strategic point in the \future plans for air travel. But we are unfortunate in that many citizens do not appreciate the possibilities or understand that the location of an airport in the community is not something that just, comes to us on a silver platter.

Your editor, being a veteran himself, at times can get information out of a veteran of World War II that the average citizen can't get and, in our opinion, what these boys think is something that all of us should hear. We talked recently with a Port St. Joe boy back from the. South Pacific who hadn't been home for two years, and he told us that one of the first things he saw when he picked up a paper in San Francisco was a large War Bond advertisement showing a soldier, sweat and bloodstained, his outstretched finger pointing at the reader and saying: "I'm fight- ing for YOU!" He was indignant. He said he was indig- nant that he and his buddies were having words shoved into their mouths by an ad writer "who didn't know a damn thing about what the men on the battlefronts thought." "When I moved in with my company," he went on, "and saw the beach kick up in my face with Jap bullets, I wasn't thinking about the YOU and YOU these guys write about.. It was MY family, MY home, MY girl. Every man in my outfit, and every man in any other outfit that has been under fire would be a damn liar if he didn't admit that that's the way it was." All we can see after this world-wide. war is a staggering burden of debt for all nations on earth and a mountain of bitterness that will take generations to outlive.
