Creech Sends
Buddy’s Poem,
"Soldier’s Plea”
The Herald received the following
letter and poem from Private Sid
Creech, former Bay City football

Field, Pannma City, Florida:
Dear Bob:
Here is a little poem thnt I found
In a class book of a buddy’s of mine
■who went through one of the
army’s ninny technical schools. I
think it is a very good little poem
and is the way many a soldier feels.
How about printing it in your col-
umn this week? Keith says to give
you his best. Pvt. Sid Creech

THE SOLDIER'S PLEA
By Pvt. August Vacek
In these days of threatening war-
fare
When your boys are all in camp
Being trained for your protection
Who will dare call one a scamp?
Show the soldiers you respect them
Appreciate their sacrifce.
They have left their homes and lov-
ed one’s
And may pay the FINAL PRICE
All their loved ones miss them sore-
ly.
"Yet would not have them stand
behind;
For this would look like cowardice,
Which every soldier would most
mind.
You are living in a country
Where liberty is each man’s right.
Sfaeerely then respect the soldier’s,
Who for you prepare to fight.
May you then to every soldier
Give his just and honest due:
Tfteafing him as you’d be treated
Force’s as good as you.
Mrs. Sadie Acker spent Saturday
night and Sunday with Mrs. E. B.
. Reimer.
Mr .and Mrs. Maurice Reed and
' daughter, Cordelia, spent Sunday
:afternoon in Freeport.
Mrs. M. A. Wilkerson of Pierce

ter, Mrs. George Reed.

Fifteen candidates have announc-

nounce and campaign, and rumors
are strong concerning prospective

Don’t Forget
School Kids;
Pay Poll Tax
In connection with the poll tax
requirement, which should be paid
by Saturday:
It should be remembered that $1

used to finance the State’s educa-
tional program.
Surely, every resident of this
county will want to contribute $1 to
the children’s educational fund.

Warning: Be
Careful Of
Grass Fires
Because of unusually warm and
sunshiny weather for January,
grass fires are prevalent along
the coast. A small flame turns
into a sweeping conflagration in
no time as dead, dry grass catches
fire, intentionally or unintention-
ally.
Practically all calls answered
by fire departments since the
brief cold snap in the first week
of January have been grass fires.
The public is cautioned about
burning dead grass and trash. Be
sure it won’t get “out of your
hands.’’ Also be careful not to
toss lighted cigarettes or matches
in the grass.
The editor stomped a fire out
Wednesday noon caused by some-
one carelessly tossing a cigarette
out of a passing car. It was lucky
the fire was detected before it got
too big.
Pat Stayton of Texas A. and M.
was home for the week-end.
Miss Leonards Nedbalek spent

Mrs. F. A. Hurley returned from

To automobile owners;
The law recently passed by Con-
gross requiring payment of a use
tax on all motor vehicles will go
into effect February 1 and a report
that your stamp was stolen will not
be accepted as an excuse by au-
thorities.
Motorists arc urged to write mo-
tor and license numbers on the
stamps with ink.
Many motorists have put the
stamps on the outside of the car
because of the mistake of the print-
er in placing glue on the hack side.
The stamps should be placed on the
inside.
Many motorists have solved the
problem by putting the stamps on
the back side of the rear view inir-
The safest plan to follow is that
of locking your car when leaving
it.
