OUR ITALIAN LETTER An Airfield In Ita'.y Feb. 15, 194b Dear Editor Bill-I was in the nearest village to ,our base here a few days agp and saw where Billy Coody .had registered in the Red Cross Servicemen's club there. Of course that must have been quite some time ago, for he was back in the States in June ,when I was n ht i- +hi. last time, It Is alwa~7A here in Port St. Joe. Thousands, yes millions, of American men in uniform are tired beyond belief of battle, and homesick for home and family. Yet they know they-must keep on. There is no one of us but wotild give every- thing to lighten the burden of sorrowing fam- ilies who have lost their men, or calm the fears of those whose men have been wounded. We would give all we could to ease the pain of the injured, or still the homesickness in tnose who must fight on. Today, as the Red Cross campaign for funds gets well under way, we can do our share in lightening the burden of sorrow, in calming the fears, and in easing the pain ol the wounded. The Red Cross was created just for that purpose and through its chan- nels of mercy we can do most for those who need our help. The Red Cross is at the front keeping alive the atmosphere of home for the men who are fighting; the Red Cross is in the hospitals cheering the wounded and sending messages home to anxious and fearful relatives; the Red Cross is sending blood plasma and surgi- cal dressings to save the lives of our youths; the Red Cross is here at 'home to aid and as- sist families in distress. This is YOUR Red Cross and through it you can do your share in human kindness and blunt somewhat the horror that is ,war. If you haven't yet been contacted by the volun- teer workers or have not made your contri- bution to the present drive for funds, do so today in order that Gulf county can meet its quota of $6200 as quickly as possible. old home town again.

During this winter the work on the St. Joseph and Iola railroad was pushed steadily on. It was completed some time during 1839. Although the exact date of the opening cannot be ascertained, it was probably as late as Ostober, for an advertisement appearing in Tile Times announcing the open- ing .is dated' October 28, 1839. Even before completion of the railroad, the restless Saints' were turning to a new project, or rather to an old one, of 1835-the son- struction of a canal from Lake Wimico to the bay. The vigilant Apalachicola Gazette, of February 2 announced the project in these terms: "Our friends of St. Joseph have already become convinced that the new railroad to Iola will not answer their purpose. It is about to share the fate of the old road to the depot-.being thrown by in disgust. "They now talk oT beginning anew, and digging a canal from their bay to the Ap- alachicola River." This canal vPas presumably, never begun.

WHY THE PULPWOOD SHORTAGE GROWS DOUBLY ACUTE AS ACTION SHIFTS TO PACIFIC THE ONLY PEOPLE who think Victory in Europe will ease the pulpwood shortage are those who flunked their geography. A look at a globe shows how much more difficult the supply problem becomes as major action shifts to the Pacific. WAR IN PACIFIC IS DIFFERENT Not only are the distances vastly greater but conditions are entirely different. In Europe port facilities permitted bulk shipments. In the Pacific every item must be double wrapped to meet the more difficult handling and climatic conditions. DON'T WASTE PRECIOUS TIME Cut only quality,pulpwood. Rotted, excessively crooked or thin logs slow the war effort. VICTORY PUL?WOOD COMMITTEE I K#j rot. rel TH~..TiE STAR; Pa'RM:ST. JOEY ;GULF- CO U NTY FLORIDA */*!AQRFnUR .LONG |
