BILL HARRELSON GETS 18
COPIES OF STAR AT ONCE
Philippines, May 31.
Ye Ed-It has 'been such a long
time that I am almost ashamed to
write. However, since I received
18 copies of The Star today I am
obliged to send you my sincere
gratitude 'for keeping 'em coming.
I see in the column, "Our Boys
With the Color"," where'somei of
the fellas are on the Island of
Leyte. It wocid be quite a big
event to bump into some. of them
while I am here. There have been
so many changes around' St. Joe
that reading 'the names of the peo-
ple that .appear in The Star doesn't
mean an awful lot to me. How-
ever, it is worth plenty to me just
to sort of keep in contact with the
fellas who are my fellow soldiers
and also you people who are fight-
ing a good, battle on the home
front.
My deepest sympathy for the
folks back home whose loved ones
have paid the supreme price for

WHETHER it's baseball or business, Americans
expect fair play all the way.
In baseball, the umpire sees to it that the game is
played according to the rules. But he is not a player.
In business, government should be the umpire who
enforces fair rules.
; But when government goes into business and com-
petes with its own citizens, the American tradition ol
fair play is set aside. The umpire then becomes a
player, and he enjoys advantages that are denied to all
the other players.
For example, government and municipal power-
plants are not required to pay federal taxes; often get
money from the U. S. Treasurer at little or no interest;
make up losses out of the pockets of the taxpayers.
Maybe you run a store or service station or beauty
shop. Would you like to have a next-door competitor
who has little or no rent, or taxes, or interest to pay,
and who is kept in btiuiness partly by your tax moneyF
