IN MEMORY OF ERNIE PYLE Bring The Beloved Correspondent’s Name To The People Of Your Town! Ernie Pyle, beloved correspondent who was killed in action off Okinawa, was the inspira¬ tion for the filming of Ernie Pyle's "Story Of G.l. Joe." His unique and unchallenged hold on the affections of the American people every¬ where has placed him among the immortals of this war. One of the finest tributes to Ernie Pyle's "Story Of. G.l. Joe" came from Ernie himself. In one of the last columns he wrote before leaving the United States, Ernie paid high praise to LesterCowan and the cast of the picture for a sincere and realistic portrayal of the common foot-soldier. Ernie felt a personal admiration for the men who worked so hard on the film. His words and thoughts about it warrant wide town attention. 1 BLOW IT UP FOR YOUR LOBBY l USE IT AS A BOX-OFFICE 3 PLANT IT WITH STORES Bring The Column To The People!
