BOMBING OF ITALY
Pope Pius XIII has complain-
ed of the bombing of Romo, re-
ferring to the city as holy and
the soil as sacred. Every intel-
ligent man or woman will de-
plore the destruction of beauti-
ful works of art, schools, chur-
ches and hospitals.
We do not recall any protests
from the Pope when 13,895
churches, hospitals and museums
were destroyed by Germany and
Italy’s bombing of England; no
protests when wholesale mur-
der of innocent “hostages” took
place by a ratio of 10 to 1.
Italy has aligned herself with
the most barbarious and inhu-
man nation known to the civil-
ized world, and has permitted
great war plants to be establish-
ed in Rome. Great armies and
their equipment are being mov-
ed thru it, and in the opinion of
the United Nations, Rome’s soil
is no more sacred than that of
any other church. Neither js the
city any more holy than the
towns the Germans wiped off
the map. These great wpr plants
were built in Rome because the
Catholic mind of Mussolini,could
not conceive of RoWie .being
bombed.
Italy was warned by both
Roosevelt and Churchill to get
out of the war and save her
beautiful cities. That warning
went unheeded, and it (is now up
to the Pope to tell Italy how she
can stop our devastating raids—
get out of the war.
Rome’s war plants, munitions
depots, and cantonments filled
with Nazi and Fascist soldiers
made its bombing a military
necessity, a plain statement with
which nearly all Catholics in this
country will agree. That it will
be bombed again and again as a
military expediency is a fore-
gone conclusion of Allied peo-
ples.
Even the man who is blinded with
success can sometimes see the bright
side of poverty.
With the mercury hovering around
100 degrees, it is no trouble to get
hot under the collar.

Hot Spots From
“Stars and Stripes”
Printed in Africa
Life is not always what you make
it. It is sometimes how you take it.
It's the modern father who makes
hay while his son shines.
If we had everything we wanted
we'd have more things to trouble
us, so we’ll just go along and be con-
tent with little here below.
All people have their troubles and
the reason some people's troubles are
better developed is became they
know b< 'ter how to nurse th -m.
It took a long, long time for the
wounds of the Civil War to heal. It
is glorious to feel that there is no
resentment among our Southern air-
men when they are called “Yankee
starfliers."
Price of newsprint was per-
mitted to increase $4 per ton,
effective Sept. 1. A similar in-
crease was allowed a few weeks
ago. Newspapers, particularly
those issued weekly, have a real
problem in shortage of man-
power, decreasing advertising
revenues and increased cost of
doing business.
S The newspaper fraternity ex-
tends deepest sympathy to Edi-
tor W. D. Hart and sons of Coop-
er, because of the passing of
their wife and mother, on Tues-
day, July 20. She gave of her-
•ell unselfishly to her
unselfishly to her family,
church, the newspaper work
which she and her husband
engaged, her friends and
libors, and she will be great-
missed.
The following paragraphs are from
the “Stars and Stripes,” official
army newspaper, published in Af-
rica:
There are lots of heroes among
the foot soldiers who have yet to bg
publicized .... A captain told us
about Sgt. Young, from Morgans-
field, Ky. . . During the landing at
Oran he was one of the 60v men to
survive a frontal assault . . When
a machine gunner alongside him
dropped, he dragged him off the
deck and took his place . . All the
officers liked this farm lad with a
Kentucky twang, who always greet-
ed them with a wry, humorous smile.
For his action at Oran, he was cited
for the DSC . . Sgt. Young was of-
fered a platoon sergeancy, but pre-
ferred to stay with his light ma-
chine gun squad whose members
he addressed with affectionately pet
names . . At Maknassy he account-
ed for 25 Germans and was last seen
walking toward the enemy with a
blazing machine gun. I
This one’s as rare as a golf ball
hitting a bird in a tree. During a
mission a Spitfire, protecting a Mar-1
auder, jumped an overanxious ME-
109. Another ME went for the Spit’s I
tail. The Spit was still flying un-1
dor the belly of a B-26, which was
loaded with bombs. The first bomb '
_ i to drop landed smack in one of the
what Wallace and I ME'S c,,ckpits' And this story has
even more stretch to it. One Mar-
auder’s bomb had just had time to
drop 100 feet from the plane when
a chunk of flak hit it and set it off. I
“It was plenty rocky in the plane
for a while,” said the pilot.
Our artillery fire has been so hea-
vy that captured Germans want to
know where we get our “automatic
fire.” . . One artillery unit fired 86
guns at one time to stop a German
counter-attack . . Usually our guns
fire slowly all night but this time
the unit crossed Jerry up. They
suspended fire at midnight, brought'
up some more batteries and at three
a. m. gave Jerry the works. They
kept it up for a solid hour . . One
thing you learn fast: The Jerry 88 :
has a whistling scream. When the I
sound starts to slow up, that’s when,
you hit the dirt . . Our 155 mm !
rifles have a nice whirry sound. You I
don’t mind them at all. j
The democrats are looking around
for a g( man to run for vice-
president. They want some one who
will help hold the South together,
preferable a man from the South.
That is a good way to get the job
done, hut there is still another way:
Let the administration stop tam-
pering with the state’s rights ; I
Southern problems.
If one-half of
Jones say about each other is true,
a couple of resignations should be
in order. But the public apparently
is indifferent to the whole row. Af-
ter reading thousands of words of
bristling charges by both men, the
average man finds himself going
round in circles only to arrive at
the place of beginning.
Just this one more time the
editor will state he does not
print unsigned communications.
Reports of any kind sent in must
be signed, not for publication,
but as an evidence of good faith
on the part of the writer. Re-
cently we had an unsigned re-
port of a wedding that was to
have occurred, but did not. Our
refusal to print unsigned ■ news
reports saved a lot of embarrass-
ment and apologies.
