He reports, that he and other members of the ship's company, escaped injury, with the exception of a -few scratches, bruises and shock, and that the ship is being repaired preparatory to returning to. the States. He hopes to be back home by the middle of October. 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.

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.

The modern reader demands and 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 Cincinnati had given 'birth to sex- tuplets.

' 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. ---- -- - Charles Smith returned home , Sunday from Moitgomery, where he attended the Methodist Young S'Peoples' Assembly.
