WRITES FROM PANAMA
Dear Editor Bill-It seems as it
the boys from St. Joe who are in
other parts of the world have al-
ready written, you, so here's a few
lines from a St. Joe soldier 'way
down Panama way.
I (like all the rest of the fellows,)
am always wondering what earcn
soldier, .sailor, marine or coast-
guardsman from St. Joe is doing.
As for me, I'm a boat operator.
Yep! A "sailing .soldier," dressed
in a sailor uniform each day, but
back to my khak.ia at night. Seem
strange? Well, the army has tme
strangest wa7 of doing things.
They trained me to be a smashing,
slashing rifleman, 'but then .sendl
me to Panama and start me riding
the waves.
I"m receiving The Star regu-
larly. It really keeps up a fellow's
morale and brings back memories
of the happy 'days, spent in St. Joe
'before this dreadful monster called
war crept up to our back. Since
we have two enemeis down and
one to go though, I feel sure that
it won't be so awfully long before
all of us will be coming bac'.
My regards ahd best wishes to
all the, other fellows, who are away
and to all the people there in St.
Joe. And to you-a shoulder patchn
of the Panama Canal Department
Tor your collection.

Softball Results


The Kiwanians nosed out 'the
Rotarians for third place in their
scheduled game last Friday night
by a 14 to 10 score in what was
said to have been a most Interest-
ing game. (we, .missed it). The
score stood 9 to 8 in favor of KI-
wanis at the end of the fourth;
both teams chalked up goose eggs
in the sixth, and .Kiwands cinched
the game with five bingles in the
sixth, holding their 'opponents to
two, and the Rotarians failed, to
score in the final inning. The, box
score:

The Legion .took -the Kiwanians
9 to 7 Monday night, 'but almost
lost the game in the final frame.
The score stood 9 to 5 in favor 'of
the Legion, with Kiwanis having
last bats. Seems as. If everybody
hit on the Kiwanis lineup when,
with two runs tin to make the score
9-7, two outs and the bases loaded,
J. C. Farnell came, to bat with a

up a fly right over Catcher Jeff

FIANCES OF NURSES
KILLED IN ACTION

The Angel of qeath seems
to hold a grudge against
three nurses in the Port St.
Joe municipal hospital, for
during a three-mophth period
the fiancee of all three have
been killed in action.
Miss Sara Gill was the first
to learn that her. betrothed,
Ens. McGarry, a fighter pilot.
had' been killed on January
12 of this year.
In March, Miss 'Mary Ruth
Plummer was notified thai
her fiance, Capt. F6ed J. Ken-
"dall, U. S. M. C., had met his
death on March .10 in the
battle for Iwo JimS.
Shortly thereafter Miss Ha-
zel Neeld received word that
Cpl. Francis L. Jones, the
man she was to. wed, had
been killed in action on
April 10 while serving with
the First Army in Germany.

poppy..
In Port St. Joe, as in every other
city and, town all over the coun-
try, the women. of the American
Legion Auxiliaryl will be on tliu
streets with poppies for sale. This
corps of volunteer workers, or-
ganized by. Mrs,. R. V. Coburn,
poppy chairman, will see to it that
everybody in their city has an op-
portunity to buy a poppy.
Disabled war veterans m a d e
these poppies. These men, who
have been working in the hospital
during the winter and spring to
have the little flowers ready for
Poppy Day, have benefited not
only financially but mentally as
well. To ,be able to earn money, to
have a pleasant occupation, has
lone a great deal to maintain their
interest in life.
The memorial flowers have but
small intrinsic value, but buyers
can give whatever they feel they
can for this symbol of the sacri-
fice made by our countrymen.
All the money goes into rehabili-
tation andi welfare funds for the
help of disabled, veterans, their
children, and the children, of tne
dead of both wars', so give gener-
ously.

The people of Gulf county have bought, to
date $7,151, or 6 per cent, of their "E" Bond
quota in the Seventh War Loan. This is a
very poor beginning and falls far short of the
record of other counties in the state, some of
which have subscribed more than 50 per cent
of their quota. Lake-and Okaloosa counties,
with far greater quotas' than Gulf, top 'the
list of counties with 50 per cent. Lee, Hendry,

approximately 35 per cent. Sales over the

A GREAT VICTORY FOR THE SOUTH
The interstate commerce commission's
freight rate decision is a great victory for-the
South, since it gives t-he South equal oppor-
tunity with the North with respect to trans-
portation costs.
Equalizing of railroad rates at this particu-
lar time will enable the South to retain many
of its war industries, and in the postwar pe-
riod become more industrialized so that a bet-
ter balance can be maintained between ag-
riculture and industry. It will also mean a
higher standard of living and .better incomes
for our people.
Yowsuh, it is one of the greatest things
that has ever happened to us down here.

7H WAR LOAN DRIVE


YES, despite their long months and
years of privation and suffering,
those gallant men, just released from
filthy Jap Prison Camps, still have
their good old fighting spirit. They're
itching to get back into the fight and
give the Nips a taste of their own
medicine.
Let's show them that we're not
quitting either! Let's match their
spirit with our dollars! Let's make
this MIGHTY 7th War Loan the
mightiest of them all!


But to come even close to matching
their sacrifices, everyone here at
home must buy War Bonds until it
hurts. Buy double or treble the extra
War Bonds you've bought in any
previous drive. Remember, this is
really two drives in one. In the same
,period last year, you were asked to
subscribe to two War Loans.
So let's go, Americans. Our hard-
fighting Soldiers, Sailors and Ma-
rines are giving their ALL. The least
we can do is to lend our dollars.

that school was closing andi that
they were losing us as pupils, but.
even a blind person could see the
gleam of joy in their eyes.
The senior class must have been
mighty flush this year, for in aa-
dition to laying a sidewalk in fron.
of the main building they left
busts of Abraham Lincoln and Rob-
ert E. Lee in the hall 'by the au-
ditorium.
This is the final column this
year. I've enjoyed writing it, re-
gardless of whether you have en-
joyed reading it. I've had a time
keeping it in, the paper. Every
time space was at a premium, Ed1-
tor Bill would get a fiendish gleanm
in his, eye, grab the "Schoo-
News" in one hand and a blue pen-
c0l in the other and then, to the
accompaniment of mad laughter,
cut it to pieces and leave but a
fraction of the original copy. Seri-
ously, I have enjoyed writing it
and hope all have enjoyed reading
it. It'll be back next year unless
someone shoots us to keep it out.
