Billy Bowen Receives
Bronze Star Award
Cpl. Billy A! Bowen, son of Mrs.
* J. A. Christmas, of this city, writes
that he has been awarded th,
Bronze Star Medial. H.e says:
"My battery commander came in
and just handed me a Bronze Star
Medal. That is five more points,.
making me 89 altogether. That is
enough to get out of the army. I
was put in for this medal when 1
was in Italy and thought they had
forgotten all about it, but they
hadn't."
Corporal Bowen has been- over-
seas 30 -months, serving .with a
field artillery outfit, landed in
North Africa, went on into Italy
and was, in the invasion of France,
at present being in Germany.

WE GET A SEABEE PATCH
Kenneth Oreech dropped in at
The Star office just befoJ'e he left
for Birmingham for reassignment
and handed the editor a Seabee
shoulder patch for his collection.
Personally, we' consider it one of
the niftiest patches, we have re-

SERIES 'E' BONDS
ARE NOT FROZEN

There is no foundation to the
persistent rumor that Series "E"
War Bondis have been frozen, rek.
ports S. L. Barke of the Florida
Bank at Port St. Joe.
The, following statement was
made by the secretary of the treas-
ury at a recent press conference
regarding freezing of Series "E"
Savings Bonds:
"There is nothing that has ema-
nated from the treasury that
would -give substance to that ru-
mor. Of course they won't be,
frozen.
"We have a contractural obliga-
tion with the ,purchasers of those
bonds and I think the government,
first of all, should keep its con-
tract. Provision for redemption is
made-in the ibondis."-

receives timely news in, his, morn-
ing, afternoon or weekly newspa-
per, A hundreds years. ago his an-
cestors expected a delay of from
three to six -weeks in receiving the
printed' account of national events.
Even news of Florida origin might
not be found in local newspapers
until weeks' after its completion.
The inaugural address of Gover-
nor Moseley was in The News, a
St. Augustine weekly, on July 19,
18'45, twenty-four days after the
inauguration.
The news was a four page news-
paper slightly larger than a pres-
ent-day tabloid for which the suib-
sicriber paid $3 a year. The first
page of the July 19 issue was en-
tirely devoted to Governor Mose-
.ley's inaugural address and his
message to the general assembly.
Page two contained approximately
50 sentence and'paiagraph articles
which were ,planned to attract the
interest of all readers. Editorials
arid the report of the newspaper's
Tallahassee correspondent occu-
pied three of the five columns on
page three. The other two columns
and all of the fourth page were ad-
vertisements.
In spite of its size and the
space devoted to advertisements,
The News had a considerable ap-
peal.. In its columns the reader
found, many 'hits of information on
a variety of subjects. A Long Is-
1 and railroad train had. made a
record run of 97 miles in 21/2
hours, a factory in Derlby, Conn.,
had' produced over two tons of pins
in a single week, and a woman in

Two Homes Recently

The residence of Mr. and Mrs.
Howell of Oak Grove 'was dam-
aged recently by a gas expols'ion
believed to have been caused by
a leaking pipe.
The roof was lifted completely
off the house and collapsed' as It
came down. Fire which followed
the expolsion burned all draperies
and badly blistered 'the greater
part of the furniture in the Howell
home. Rugs. blankets and other
articles were also damaged. The
loss was partially covered by in-
surance.
The home of W. 0. Anderson on
Monument Avenue was damaged
by a similar explosion .on the pre-
ceding day, but no fire followed.

DDT WILL SOON BE
ON STORE SHELVES

-DDT, with its death-dealing tang
for insects, soon will be available
in lange enough quantities to per-
mit every person to rid his home
of virtually all flies andi mo-squt-
toes.
And' the cosit-for mixed-at-home
sprays-will run somewhere be-
tween. $1.75 and $5.25 a year.
The good news to householders
comes from the War Production
Board, which announced that all
production controls on DDT ended
August 31, and from the United
States Public Health Service.
One health service official said
the product should be generally
available in another month and
that a person with a 5-cent hand
sprayer, a dolla 's worth of DDT
powder, a quarter's, worth of kero-
sene and a little soapy substance
should be able to spray his house
effectively,
The DDT, he explained, is dis-
solved in 'the kerosene, and the
soapy substance is used so that the
kerosene then can be mixed with
water to form a dilute solution.
The spray should not be permitted
to touch food.
From one to three sprayings a
year are all that are necessary, as
the DDT lingers on and is potent
for many months.

To Operate Ferry From
Key West To Havana

The Gulf and Atlantic Transpor-'
tation Company has announced
at Philidelphia, plans for the inau-
guration oif an automobile and pas-
senger ferry service between Key
West and Havana.
The general manager of the firm
said that bids are now being ob-
tained for construction of the first
fleet of ferries.
