THE STAR The Home Newspaper of Northwest Florida's Future Industrial Center GIVE 'EM '~ BREAK, HE SAYS U. S. Naval Receiving Station Shoemaker, Calif., 28 April. Dear Editor Bill-I was reading The Star of April 13 and came across the editorial "Give the Boys a Break." I hate to think that the people of our town are not doing their bit for the soldiers of Camp Gordon Johnston. In some places 1 have been the citizens have been very cold towards men in the ser- vice, and it isn't such a nice feel- ing. In one place there was a sign that read "Sailors and Dogs Keep Off the Lawn." No doubt some of the fellows caused such a feeling, but there are a lot of nice fellows around also. Out here on the west coast the people are pretty nice towards the fellows, but not so much as the people back east. It seems as though most of them are out to get what little money we make. A haircut is one buck. I believe Bal- timore is the nicest liberty a fel- low can have. The people there, Official Newspaper of Gulf County VOLUME VilI PORT ST.

Accordifig to reports from state chairmen reach- ing Ted R. Gamble, national di- 'rector of the War, Finance Division of the Treasury in Washington, the Nation is ready for the huge task. Mr. Gamble was enthusiastic about results. He said "We're prepared to do the best job in the 7th War Loan." Mr. -Gamble said that "not ..nl is tothere n-r:.re n.l.ney available than ever before in each state, but individual in- come v.Il bE -higher in the pe- riod of the 7th ,I , War L:.a3n than ; seven bily rions of MO NT U War Loan pe- riod." Secresigned as ryfthe quota for individual Treasury Henry Morgentraau said seven billions of' MORGENTHAU dollars has been assigned as the quota for individual investors and that the major emphasis throughout the drive will be placed on the quota for individ- uals. The individual quota is the highest established in any of the previous drives, the secretary said. The E Bond quota alone is 4 bil- lion. The 7th War Loan seeks near- ly as much in the one drive as was asked in the first two drives of last year which were held up to this time. The two drives of this year, therefore, will seek nearly as much as was sought in the three drives of 1944. The Secretary stated that there is every evidence that Federal ex- penditures are going to remain at a high level for some time to come, and that the Seventh War Loan pro- gram was designed to obtain maxi- mum funds necessary to prosecute the War from non-bank investors. The securities, which will be sold under the direction of the State War Finance Committees, are as follows: Series E, F and G Savings Bonds, Series C Savings Notes, 22% Bonds, 2V4% Bonds, 1/2% Bonds, 7% Cer- tificates of Indebtedness. The 1/%% Bonds will not be offered in the Drive to corporations. The Drive for individuals will ex- tend from May 14 to June 30. How- ever, an intensification of activities in the sale of Series E bonds began April 9, when millions of persons on -payroll savings plans throughout the country were asked to enlarge their participation as a part of the Seventh War Loan. All Series E, F and G Savings Bonds and Series C Savings Notes processed through the Federal Reserve Banks between April 9 and July 7 will be credited to the Drive. During the final phase of the Drive which will cover the period from June 18 through June 30, subscrip- tions will be received from all other non-bank investors for the 24% and 2%% marketable bonds and the cer- tificates of indebtedness. piiiiliiii iMiniiimm miia ."THAT THESE DEAD SHALL NOT HAVE DIED IN VAIN"...

The surveys, made public in an article appeairng in the January issue. of Domestjc. Commerce, was conducted among soldiers in this country and abroad. The main findings of the survey as listed by the .article are: 1. Eleven per cent of the men plan more or less definitely to en- ter business for themselves or in conjunction with a family rela- tive. . 2. Of this number, more than 80 per cent have had .previous experi- ence in the field they expect to enter. About half were self-enw- ployed before entering service. 3. About 50 per cent expect to go into retail trade. Another 25 per cent plan to establish service A N electric fan 30 times bigger than the average in a month or household fan wouldn't whisk your house from radio enterta its foundations, but the breeze from such a fan which In your d would use one kilowatt of electricity would be a household hurricane.

About 60 per cent indicate, that they' expect to have all or at least half of the necessary capital. 6. Plans for borrowing additional capital are in a nebulous state. One-sixth of the men stated that they planned to borrow from banks and loan companies, and one-tenth are counting on loans from friends.

There was no wild rejoicing and the majority of our people offered up prayers that J-E Day would soon arrive in order that this sensless slaugh- ter could end and our young men and women return again to their homes., and loved ones. The ten days from April 29 to May 8 will go down in history as one of the greatest pe- riods of fulfillment the world has ever known, for in that brief time utter darkness of the nether pit closed in upon Anti-Christ. Fascism and Naziism and all their hellish works dis- integrated under the sledging of Allied mili- tary might. Victory in Europe was achieved. The terms to be dictated to Germany prob- ably will be long in the making, for the sordid spectacle uncovered by Allied troops in Ger- many have swept the civilized world with a feeling of sickening revulsion toward the German race as a whole, for despite the cries of the German people that they knew nothing of the atrocities being committed we know only too well that they could not help but know and condone. the unspeakable crimes that were committed. There will be those among us who will cry out that mercy be shown, but the horrors uncovered and the stories yet to be told call for justice to be done to the fiends who con- ceieved and executed such terrible deeds. As a consequence, Germany and her allies can expect a stern and exacting peace. It will and should include not only those who were responsible for the shocking atrocities, but also those who actively helped to bring such conditions about and those who, though they took no actual part in the crimes, still share the guilt by tacitly condoning them. MOTHER'S DAY Next Sunday is Mother's Day, and being Mother's Day, it will be a day during which a nation will pay tribute to the greatest wo- man on earth-Mother. Nations may come and nations may go; statesmen, soldiers, pub- lic heroes, champions, great artists, writers and poets, all the galaxy of the great and near-great too, may come and go, but there is only one woman in the world who can be or has been Mother.

These mothers can only hark back to the days when their noty-departed sons played at their feet or tugged at their dress with baby fingers; how in moments of distress they came running to pick up the little form and kiss away the in- jury, the hurt, or soothe the wounded heart. Yes, these things remain to these empty- hearted mothers, for time cannot erase the memories of childhood days and Mother, who acted as buffer between childhood and the world. Mother's Day will be observed in the churches of Port St. Joe next Sunday, and we know that. these particular mothers will not be" forgotten, for the heartfelt sympathy of the entire community is theirs.

Foxy Von Rundstedt withdrew his armies over the Rhine for the last stand as bastions like Cologne had fallen. Now the Allies could move into the interior of Germany where no such barriers as the Siegfried line or the highlands of the Rhine would con- front them. The counsels of the Nazi leaders to the German people were desperate. German might which had ruled Europe and threatened the world for five years was at an end. The climax had arrived with the dramatic tenseness of a Wagnerian opera. On the Eastern front the Red army had continued the amazing offensive that had started far to the East in the Ukraine and Crimea-an offen- sive that swept everything before it. Trading space for time, the Nazi high command had withdrawn its remaining armies steadily west- ward. The fall of Warsaw had con- cluded a pause for realignment of Red forces. From then on the in- exorable Russian machine ground forward, to Berlin itself. cutting off industrially valuable Silesia and sweeping through Pomerania and up to the Baltic ports of Danzig and Stettin. . Allied might on the ground and in the air and on the sea had spelled Hitler's doom. Scheme and contrive as they might, the Nazi leaders could find no way out. i Victory in Europe was ours.

England impatiently asked the United States when we were coming -in, while we went out of our way in the effort to stay out of the war anpd mind our own business. In the spring of 1941, the Germans invaded Jugoslavia and drove the British out of Greece, after Musso- lini's troops were run ragged by the poorly equipped Greeks. Things had reached such a pass that Rudolph Hess, the "deputy fuehrer," flew to England and para- chuted to safety with what is reli- ably reported to have been peace plans for a beaten England. German paratroopers took the strategic island of Crete and it looked as though nothing could stop the all-powerful sweep of Axis arms. Hitler Turns on Russia. But Hitler, balked in the west by England's stubbornness, decided to attack Russia. On June 22, 1941, again without a previous declaration of war, Hitler sent his troops storming into Russia in the old familiar pattern of the blitz. In the early days of that campaign in the east, everything followed the neat pattern drawn for it by the cold military scientists of the German general staff-the Prussians of an- cient war lineage, and the ruthless Nazis who put into practice what they had learned in Spain, Poland, France, the Netherlands and Bel- gium. Russia was supposed to fall in three weeks, or at the most, three months. It was popularly supposed to be an awkward giant, big but clumsy on its feet and unable to stand up against the repeated body blows of the smaller but efficient German war machine. Japan Strikes U. S. While the Germans swept into Russia and closed in on schedule, Japan was readying a sneak attack of her own. On December 7, 1941, the Japs at- tacked the U. S. military and naval bases at Pearl Harbor and knocked us, with one foul blow, into the mid- dle of the world war. Thus 1941 drew to a close, with the Germans winning in the battle against Russia, and the confident Jap military machine moving stead- ily and remorselessly to its objec- tive-the complete subjugation of the western Pacific and a Japanese domination of Asia. The United States was in the war, but it was in a defensive role and was not supposed to be able to do anything offensive before everything would be over. in Europe and we would be alone against Germany, Italy and Japan. 'Beginning of End' Came 'With 'Allied Victory in Africa Hitler committed his second stra- tegic blunder in 1942 when he failed to conquer Egypt and seize control of the Mediterranean. The Axis knew the value of the Mediterranean and by keeping con- trol of the western end through use of the Italian fleet and Tunisia, kept the British from using it as.a supply line for Egypt and the Suez canal. But that was not enough. British convoys dared the Italian fleet and brought supplies to embattled Malta, bombed- day and night like nothing was ever bombed before. But the supplies went through and Malta stood, giving the British a base. Field Marshal Erwin Rommel, the German commander in North Af- rica, had made two attempts to end British resistance in Libya. The Axis forces -had almost been suc- cessful in the first two attempts but had been checked and then driven back. -. Now, Rommel decided.to try again. Rommel's FinatlAttempt..

Thq r4tish fell back to l Alamein, only .0 miles from Alexandria, with their backs to the wall.. - Rommel tried, fi vain for the final brea-kthrough, but victory eluded him. The British aerial bombard- ment of German home industry and transportation, Hitler's failure to. crush the Russians, and the steady growth of Allied air power in the eastern Mediterranean reduced the assistance that Rommel was able to get and kept him from getting all the supplies he needed. The Axis was beaten in the Medi- terranean when the British broke through in a counterattack at El Alamein and then drove the Afrika Korps west to the final defeat in the fall of '42 and the crushing Allied victories following the landing of American troops in North Africa on November 8, 1942.

Victory for the Allies in Europe the most anxiously awaited event in modern his- tory-means the liberation of a continent which has been under the domination of mili- tary might ever since the Ger- man blitz rolled into Poland in the fall of 1939. Starting with Hitler's blood- less conquests of trusting neighbors, the threat which has hung over the world has finally been dissipated by an overwhelming superiority of the Allies in men, materials, air power, sea power and the overwhelming desire of free peoples to rid the world of the tyranny which has "blacked out the lights of Europe." The Allied victory and the capitu- lation of Germany has once more re- stored freedom to Europe. Victory is sweet after the period of despotism which has prevailed but, as in 1918, the world must appreciate that vic- tory is one of arms alone so far and must be followed by a peace that will ensure the world against anything like the rise of National Socialism again. . June Invasion Started It. Today the Allies have beaten Ger- 'many to her knees, something that was beyond the comprehension of most of the world little less than a year ago. The invasion of Europe started it in June, 1944, and the quick success in France and the drive to the heart of the reich itself blasted the theory of a "European fortress" that Hitler said was im- pregnable.

GULF HARDWARE & SUPPLY CO. o Early in the morning of Septem- ber 1, 1939, Nazi panzer divisions crossed the border into Poland and "officially" started World War II. Hitler had already negotiated the controversial neutrality pact with Russia ahd had that protection i against interference with his plans in the east. In the west, the French were entrenched behind the "im- pregnable" Maginot line and thought they were safe no matter what hap- ir opened. Poland; weak and isolated, with a large army that was composed mostly of cavalry regiments and foot soldiers, was no match for the lightning-like thrusts of the mech- anized divisions that Hitler sent into battle. The Poles, cut off from any possible aid from Great Britain and France, were doomed. Less than a month of fighting was all that the Germans needed to capture the country. The "blitzkrieg" had won the first of its many battles. By October, the Germans could now turn their attention to France, crouched behind its walls of fortifi- cations and oblivious to the threat of conquest from around the ends of the Maginot line. Occupation of Norway. But before he could deal with France, Hitler had to attend to the possible threats from the north, where Great Britain might have been able to land troops in Norway or Sweden and sweep down on an unprotected flank. Therefore, the Germans occupied Denniark and then Norway, beating down the feeble resistance that those peace- loving countries were able to mar. shal. It was all so ridiculously easy. By May, 1940, the battle plans of the Germans were set and the "blitzkrieg" moved again-this time" striking the Netherlands and Bel- gium in quick succession, moving on to France, and just missing the British army of occupation at Dun- kirk. Hitler's divisions attacked from all directions, his tanks and panzers blasting everything in their path after the Luftwaffe had pre- pared the way by blasting the en- emy's airdromes and defenses. Heavy and medium bombers ranged behind the front lines, where dive bombers "pin-pointed" the targets into destruction. Tanks roared through the holes cut in the enemy lines and then fanned out'be- 'Eind the' front lines, cutting commu- nications, and blasting strong points that were only meant to stop in. rantry and which couldn't stand up. against- cannon-bearing mechanical monsters.

In March, 193.6, Hitler ordered the first of his goose-stepping legions into the Rhineland, cutting France off from her eastern allies and set- ting up a barrier that could not be circumvented by anything short of total war-which he knew France was not ready to declare. Then in October, 1936, Hitler and Mussolini formed the Rome-Berlin pact, giving both fascist nations the agreements they needed to bully the world. Mussolini had already taken Ethiopia and had defied the British navy to try to enforce sanctions against him-the only threat which the democratic nations of the world were able to make. In March, 1938, Hitler grabbed Austria and he now found himself with a perfect gateway to Czecho- slovakia, where the only real threat in arms was to be found in the well- equipped Czech army.

RAF Stalls Nazis; Britain 'Holds On' - After France Falls The jubilant Nazi government thought that with the fall of France, Great Britain would sue for peace 0 and the short, cheap war that had . been so carefully planned would be over. But Winston Churchill had become prime minister of Britain. Germany had gained the support of Italy through the famous "stab in the back" when the Italians de- clared war on France just in time to get in on the kill. With that aid in the south, and the fact that a British army had just escaped anni- hilation, Hitler could not be blamed for thinking England would ask for peace. But Hitler did not reckon on Churchill. Here was a leader who won his people not with glib prom- ises and fair speech, but with the promise of nothing but "blood, sweat and tears" and told them bluntly to get ready to defend their homeland "in the streets, and on the beaches" and in the heart of their big cities against the invasion that was sure to come from the continent. af Eggo Night after night, in monotonous QU ty Eggs regularity, the big German bombers Complete feed for took off from dozens of fields in lots of premium France and Germany and thundered quality eggs with across to England, blasting ports PRniNA delicious flavor. and naval bases, industrial centers Rely on Layen and London in the vain attempt to Rely on Lyen bring "that nation of shopkeepers" to its knees.

Through most of '42 the Russians had fallen back before the German drive. But then Stalin ordered his men to stand before Moscow and in a brilliant trap caught and extermi- nated whole German armies and sent the broken remainder reeling back on the northern front. Stalingrad, whose downfall had been, promised innumerable times by Hitler, refused to fall. And sud- denly the Russians clamped a giant pincers around the besieging army and the Germans suffered the loss of another army corps and felt the powerful sweep of the Red army. Russians Smash Ahead. From the high water mark of Ger- man conquest in the fall of 1942, the Russians quickly reformed and won victory after smashing victory dur- ing 1943. The Russians stretched their colossal manpower along a 2,000- mile front and counterattacked whenever they found a German weakness. The Germans had planned to fight a war of their own choosing-to pick a spot and blast away at it until they broke through and then go on to clean up in the familiar blitzkrieg pattern. But now it was the Russians who could pick their spots. Instead of concentrating on one place, the Wehrmacht now had to watch doz- ens of fronts for the Soviets were apt to, choose the most unlikely places for an attack, and once it was launched, nothing the Germans could do could stop it. 'The victim of blitzkrieg had learned his lessons well, and the teacher was now get- ting a demonstration of the old tech- nique-and with some added inno- vations. At the end of 1943,' an offensive aimed at Germany and the German armies from the Russian front seemed more likely to succeed than anything set in motion from the Mediterranean up to that time. The western front was still to be heard from. Hitler's armies had suffered their greatest defeats on the Russian front. * June 6, '44, Marked Start of Invasion And End of Nazism While the Russians were blocking the Germans on the steppes and tun- dra and before their great cities, the Allies had invaded Italy following Meanwhile, we were building m feverishly for war. A umfited na- F: tion was hard at work, not only ce in training men to do the actual th fighting, but also to build the on guns, planes, tanks, ships and sm ammunition that would arm su them and equip them in a man- fli ner which never before had been thought possible. Fantastic m amounts of equipment poured hi forth from factories working tu night and day to avenge the Jap m sneak attack on Pearl Harbor ai and to drive aggressor nations E forever into hiding, er Italy was knocked out of the war w three months after the invasion of Sicily, while in the Pacific, Amer- th icans had halted the Japs on Guadal- m canal and then invaded the Gilbert ca islands, and had landed at Makin and Tarawa. l Allied air power was now fully developed. Europe rocked with the blasts of two-ton bombs deliv- ered 24 hours a day by the Royal Air force and the Eighth air force of the U. S. Japan's outlying pos- sessions were under the constant threat of Yank bombings and the homeland, itself was the target of long-range bombers, soon to be aug- mented by the giant Superfor- tresses. Invasion Across Channel. June 6, 1944, dawned in Europe and the first faint glow of light in the east found an Allied invasion army storming the beaches of Nor- mandy. Thousands of planes filled the sky and kept the impotent Luftwaffe away from interfering with the thou- sands of landing craft and naval ves- sels which filled the English channel with men and supplies.

VICTORY RINGS AGAIN Bells have rung to tell a war-weary world that a new victory in the cause of humanity has been won. We may rejoice with thankful hearts that greedy men have so soon been brought to their knees. But as we rejoice we pause in tribute to those who have paid' the "last full measure of devotion on the field of battle so we may continue to live the life of our choosing. Tribute nust go also to those who at home have sacrificed much, that the implements of war could be made ready and avail- able for those trained to use them. We salute our comrades in arms, the United Nations, for their staunch and unwavering support.
