back at us NINE MORE
NIGHTS, hitting us every time
In the same spot and the same
way. By the third night wc were
ready for them, with fixed ma
chine guns trained to cover every
foot of the field of fire, and we
stacked them up like hay shocks
night after night.
"You'd think they'd have had
more sense. But they didn't."
RECALL the way the Jap high'
command sent relief expedi-
tion after relief expedition back
to Guadalcanal and New Guinea
to be blasted time after time IN
THE SAMfi WAY by our ships
and planes. .
It agrees exactly with tills serv
ice man's story.
THESE tales aren't al gruc-
some. For example: ' 1 .
"We'd Just landed on the beach,
without opposition: .There was
i plenty of-wracked equipment and
' other signs of battle around and
wo were new on the lob 'ind 'isf -
,.',. ,h, (. ' i iwN
curious as n bunch of jaybirds.
Wc were trotting around getting
an eyeful.
"Wc hud set up a big iron trl-
nnglc, and all of a sudden the
air raid warning was sounded on
It. A moment later the Jap planes
came roaring over. I made a dive
for a piece of slit trench that was
just a little longer than I was
' about two seconds later another
guy landed on top of me. I said
to him: 'Say, bud, you'd belter
hunt yourself another hole.
You're sticking up about four
inches and you're likely to get
hurt.'
"lie was panting and I could
feel his heart pounding against
my back. He says: 'Oh no, please
let me slay bete.' I says to him:
'It's OK by me bud, If that's what
you want.' Hoy, (lid lie feel swell
there ON TOP or me!
"The Jap bombs dropped all
around us, but nobody got hurt."
ANOTHER one, from a wound-
,'l m',n: ,
iNOTIIER one, from a wound-
"I got mine from a shell from
a Jap mortar that filled me full
of splinters and hit me hard
above the eye. They carried me
back to the field hospital and
started picking the shell splinters
out of me. They weren't using
an anaesthetic, and I was cussing
them. I didn't mean to do It. It
was kind of like I was another
guy standing off to one side. He'd
keep cussing the doctors and I'd
seem to try to shut him off.
"They told me: 'We've got lo
operate on your eye tomorrow
and we can't keep you all filled
up with hop.' So they went on
picking out the splinters and I
went on hollering trying my
damndest not lo but all the time
11 was the guy standing olf lo
one side that was doing the hol
lering and I was Hying to shut
him up.
"Really, those doctors down
there are wonderful as gentle
as your own mother and working

.EDITORIAL.
By Charles
(JOW much space does a newspaper give away?
" We must confess we didn't have th answer to that qucj'.'on
until we took a ruler and spent about cij,'ht hours on a holiday
BoinR through the files and making a record.
fhe average newspaper is
furnish publicity space for one thing or another. Since pre
parations for war starred, and particularly since Pearl Harbor,
the demand has been increasing steadily. More and more fed
eral agencies are furnishing propaganda, publicity and infor
mational material, sponsored display advertising copy and
other matter designed for publication. Newspapers are urged
to devote news space to a constantly increasing volume of gov
ernment releases. They are urged to contact merchants to se
cure sponsorship of display advertising copy prepared to. aid
the war effort.
Some small conception of the picture may be gained from
a few figures pertaining to the columns of the News-Review
since Pearl Harbor.
The News-Review, for instance, has printed 2494 inches of
publicity urging the public to buy war bonds. At advertising
rates this space would have had a value of $997.60.
Miscellaneous releases published on behalf of the OVA,
OWI, manpower commission and others, all relating to phases
of the war or home production efforts, amounted to 2513 inches
with a value of $1,005.90. .
Prior to Pearl Harbor we furnished a great deal of space to
the recruiting service. The demand, obviously, has dropped
off since recruiting has been limited by selective service. How
ever, since Pearl Harbor, we have carried 470 inches of recruit
ing "plugs," or $188 worth if
The American Red Cross has been given 610 inches, the
equivalent of nearly four full pages, worth $244.
The Aircraft Warning service, like the recruiting service, has
had less publicity since Pearl Harbor than before, but since
that fateful date, the News-Review has devoted 368 inches of
free space to the AWS, representing $147.20.
A total of 1007 inches, worth $402.80, was devoted to sal
vage campaigns, in connection with the collections of rubber
and scrap metal.
Altogclher since Pearl Harbor the space given by the News
Kcview to the various war activities would total more than
46 full pages.
During that time the local activities have not been neglected.
Civilian defense, civic clubs, membership drives, financial solici
tations, etc., hufc had "build up" campaigns and publicity

Some people have the idea a newspaper has a hard time j "

The exact contrary, however, is ihe true stale of affairs. We
"kill" more live news daily than wc have space to publish. We
could find far less expensive "fillers" than publicity material.
It costs money lo set type. 'Ihe linotype operators must be
paid wages, machinery upkeep costs must be met. powei. gas

Wc do not point out these facts to be boastful. c do not
regret any donation of space: we wish we had more to give.
Wc are only trying to show the part newspapers are playing in
the war effoit nnd community life. What the News-Review has
done is only a drop in the bucket
