Services For Mr. Dargin Held At Bennington

When hews reached the ears of the people in Bennington last Tuesday eveaihg Of. the tragic accident which-took the life of one of our older resi­dents, it shocked us beyond measure. Our little town is generally a placid small town, going its smooth wayv Men working steadily, wOmen keeping house and caring for their children. The happy laughter of girls and boys on their way to school. When a big accident occurs such as the one which took, the life of Mr. Durgin, our town is shocked'out of its calm and it does not seem possible that such a thing could come to oUr small town. Every one knew Mr. Durgin and he will be missed about the town, He owned considerable property and rented a, good-many tenements. Mr. Durgin was caring for his small grandson, Charles l5ufgi^, son of his own son John, who dietf some time ago. His daughter, Mrs. Alice Brown and chil­dren live a long ways off, in Texas. She came on as swiftly as possible when" she leamed of her father's ac­cident and death. Mr. Durgin also has one brother who lives in Maine. No one saw the accident as far as has been ascertained. "The chief of police did not think that the driver, Mrs. Howard Mason, was much to blame. The accident occurred on the comer directly in front of Mr. Dur-fjin's home. It is. a, bad corner and it was a difficult time of day, 7:30 P. M. The light is just beginning to fade.

Mr. Durisrin was 81 years old, and although he originally came from Maine, this has been his home for very many years. He lived for some time on the place now known as Rhythmn Hill but finally moved to the town. The funeral took place in the Congresrational Church at 2 P. M. The Rev. Harrison Packard officiated and Phillin Woodbury was the morti­cian in eharge. The bearers were Harrv Dunbar. Walter Cleajrv. Walter Smith and Arthur Brown. Mr. Dur­gin was taken to Maine where he was buried.

A gas range and an Iron sink. Were lying side by side;

When a keeri-eyed Junky spied them

And took them for a ridel As he glimpsed thielr use-worn fig­

He knew that tron was needed For' tanks and Shells and ships.

So carting them to his junk shop He placed them on the floor

'vnth some pots, thi cans and ket­tles

And dish-pans by the score: Then mused, and said: Old iron

But some day you'll be "curtains" for

A Nazi or a Jap!

We need the iron range and sink. All 'metal odds and ends;

Because, our hope in freedom now On such as these depends,

A gun without a shell is lost Its power spent and gone

\nctoiy's well worth the cost Get busy, Ev'ry one!

Order Weekly Parcels The Intemational Red Cross has

been histructed to dispatch suffi­cient standard American Red CrMS food parcels so that one may be distributed each week to eajdt. United States prisoner. Other Unit­ed Nations prisoners of war receive American Red Cross food parcels, which are purchased by foreign Red Cross societies, govemments in exile, and private relief orgMi-zations. Parcels for American pr is­oners are paid for by the Army and Navy.

Purchasing Regulations New regulatioris have been issued

by which close relatives of United Nations prisoners of war rnay send standard food parcels to identiflea prisoners hi, Europe through the American Red Cross. These regula­tions, now effective, can be ob­tained from local Red Cross chap­ters, and cover prisoners of Bel­gian, Polish, Yugoslav, Norwegian, Dutch, Greek, and other national­ities. Prisoners held by Japan are not hicluded hi the new regula­tions, due to present lack of trans­portation faciUtles to the Far East.

The American Red Cross empha­sized that only through placing an order for a standard Red Cross food parcel, and under certahi reg­ulations Information about wbicli can be obtahied at the local Red Cross chapters, may these parcels be sent. They cost $3.50.

In addition to food parcels dellv- , ered each week, articles of clothing and other supplies are delivered to Ainericans in prison camps as they are needed; In March 1943, the fol­lowing distribution of such articles was reported by the International Committee to the American Red Cross: 900 overcoats, 1308 pairs of shoes, 1,323 shirts, 1,280 under­shirts, 1,306 shorts, 2,280 pairs of socks 2,660 handkerchiefs, 185. trousers, 130 army caps, 130 gloves, one case disinfectant, 100 toilet sanitary articles.

ReUtives Send Parcels The same type of standard food

parcel Is distributed weekly to all American prisoners of war, and is paid for by the United States Army and Navy. Private parcels may be sent direct to American prisoners whose next of kin reside hi the United States, to whom labels are Issued by the Office of the Provost Marshall General, War Depart­ment, Washington, D. C , or by any Individual to whom the next of kin transfers his label. Labels Issued by the Department of War Service es, Ottawa, Canada, to next of kin in the United States of captured members of the Canadian forces authorize the sending of a private parcel each 90 days.

The Ameriean Red Cross does not accept contributions for the stan­dard food parcels for United States prisoners, but does accept unre­stricted contributions for general relief to United States prisoners, applying such funds to the pur­chase and shipment ot medical supplies, cigarettes, tobacco, and other comfort articles not provided by the Army and Navy.

The new regulations do not apply to civilians Uving hi enemy-occu­pied countries.

Having failed to throw the Allies back into the sea at Salerno, Gen, Albert Kesseiring's German forces withdrew toward the Naples area, where they were, expected to put up another stiff rearguard action in the mountainous terrain.

After sharp, brief attacks on Al­lied shipping at Salerno, German aircraft disappeared frorh the skies, and American and British bombers roamed over Italy at will. Seeking to halt the flow of German re-en­forcements to the south. Allied planes ripped railroads and high­ways.

Flanking the Italian mainland, the i.slands of Sardinia and Corsica fell to Allied troops. In Corsica, Italian soldiers joined with "Free Krench" units in fighting to oust Nazi elements.

RUSSIA: Neiv Lines

With the Dnieper river in sight, the end bf a long Gorman retreat along the whole central and southern front in Russia noared. It is along the entire 750 miles of the broad, winding river that the Nazis evident­ly intend to make a final stand in Russia. Should the Germans fail to hold the Dnieper line, they would be' compelled to fall back into Eu­rope itself.

In the north, the Russians drove past Smolensk, threatening the Nazis' communications with Fin­land. Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. In this sector, ti-.e Reds were only 115 miles from the old Polish border.

Only in the extreme south did the Germans hold tho Russians at long

.arm's length from t>e Dr.iopor. Evi­dently, the Nazis wtrc bitterly re­sisting in tlie area so as to allow tha escape of many German troops in the Crimean peninsula, whitrh con-ntc'ts witlVtl:o Russian mainland in this section.

Captured at Stalingrad, the for­mer Nazi commanders appealed to Germany to ". . . end the sense­less, futile war" which "might any day cause a national catastrophe." Germany today faces a worse isola­tion than in 1918, they contended.

Addition of the former Nazi mili­tarists to the "Free German" com­mittee undoubtedly was for the as­surance of order it might promise in case of Germany's internal col­lapse. Ru.ssia's creation of the "Free German" committee has been seen as a move to incoi-jjorate the always potentially strong German nation into its own European order, independent of Anglo-American plan­ning.

ALLIED CHIEF: Marshall Named

Congress was working itself hito a pother over rumors of Gen. George C...Marshairs re: moval as Amieri­can chief of staff when it was re­ported that he has been named com­mander - in - chief of all American-Br i t i sh f o r c e s throughout the world.

Accord ing to the rumoi;s that threw Washington into f e r m e n t , M a r s h a l l h a d clashed with Brit­ish military authorities over the opening of a second front in Europe.

Report of his appointment as com-: mander^in-chief of all Allied forces with contror over the British army, however, seemed to spike the ru-ntibrs. As American chieff of staff.

Assailing the principle of "island hopping" — that is, taking one island after the other—General MacArthur declared: "Key points must, of course, be taken, but a wise choice of such will obvia'te the need for storming the mass of islands now in enemy possession . . . (which) is not my idea of how to end the war as soon and as cheaply as possible."

Replying to, talk he would be shelved. Gen. MacArthur said: !'I have no personal military ambitions whatsoever, and am perfectly con­tent in such role as may be pre­scribed for me."

With congress' adoption of the Ful-brigbt resiolution, the mtemational-ists won a point through the meas­ure's provision calling for America's co-operation in joining with other nations in preservmg world peace by any seemingly proper means.

Oh the other hand, the national­ists won a point, too, through the resolution's stipulation that congress must approve any plan for such American co-operation.

The bill went to the senate, where it faced strong opposition on the grojjnds .that the. house was trying to cut ih on the senate's constitutional privilege of advising and consent­ing to foreign treaties.

WHEAT: CCC Rations Stocks

Tightenhig of transportation is complicating the Commodity Credit corporation's distribution of its wheat stocks for feed. The same difficulty has interfered with the CCC's program for purchasing 15 million bushels of. Canadian wheat weekly.

Because of the difficulties encoun­tered, CCC has rationed wheat tb buyers, with big operators formerly ordering 165,000 bushels being cut to 50,000.

As of September 11, the CCC re­ported, 57,483,457 bushels of new wheat were held In loan, compared with 144,038,388 at the same time last year. Some 1942 wheat also is being held in loan. CCC efforts to call. these loans to replenish its stocks, however, probably would re­sult in farmers offering the grain on the open market for sale above the loan price.

New Synthetic Tube

MANPOWER: War Needs

Testifying before the senate mili­tary affairs committee on the ques­tion of drafting dads. Gen. George C. .Marshall and Adm. Ernest J. King declared they were interested only on meeting the services' quota for 1,200,000 men by the end of the year.

According to the war manpower commission, 446,000 • fathers will have to be inducted if the services' demands are to be met. ; Marshall and King left the problem of raising the mon up to. the WMC, but warned against lowering physical standards • in reclassifying 4-F's, Or of taking childless married men over 38.

Ih leading the fight against inime-djate induction of fathers, Senator Burton K. Wheeler sought to estab­lish that production was exceeding requirements in certain lines, result­ing in a waste of manpower which could be used to better advantage in other industries behind schedule. Wheeler also sought to probe claims that certain employers wijre over-stafiing their concerns andrai.=ing costs to assure larger profits on con-tracts.

Distribute Production Wliile congress stewed over • the

whole manpower question, Chair­man Donald Nelson of the war produc­tion board issued a directive ordering all war agencies not to place contracts in areas where labor shortages exist if they can be filled elsewhere.

In this connection, the WPB also de­clared that war con-

Donald Nelson tracts should be ne­gotiated, with small­

er firms being paid premiums to meet higher production costs, so that full use may be made of all manu­facturing facilities.

In connection with curtailing em­ployment in industries whose pro­duction exceeds needs, WPB an­nounced that hereafter such employ­nhent wpuld be cut in communities where there was a scarcity of labor ih other essential lines.

Add to scientific wonders this synthetic inner tube, called mar-vinol, and made from a. new elas-to-plastic. According to the manu­facturers/the material in the tube is non-porous, eliminating the usual leakage of two pounds of air weekly in ordinary tubes. In addition, the new tube is fully re-claimable in case of a puncture or blowout.

W?ni .Serviee, UideB Tmst BoUdiBg WashiagfoB, D. G.

Slowly tiie pattern of America's post-war plans are taking shape, but only the pattern.

When .congress retumed, it was evident 'that no ?natter how miich disagreement there might be as to tiie details of the role the United. Stetes will, play in the post-war world, the people have registered one idea: they want to take part in some kind of an intemational or­ganization to mainteto peace.

The same (pinion tumed up in the conversation of three miembers of congress of widely differing political sentiments with w:hom I talked shortly after they retumed. Speaker Sam Rayburn told me that the one phrase which received the most ap­plause ta the speeches he made in the Southwest was when he said that the United Stetes must do a n>an's job for peace.

Two leading Republican senators expressed the same idea, namely, that "the people seem to be of one mhid" that America must joto hi some kind of mtematlonal effort att­er the war to matotein peace.

The disagreements in congress are chiefly a difference in degree and represent a discussion, for the most part, over detaUs that nobody expects congress to decide to ad­vance anyhow.

Of course, there are two things which make for lack of harmony;, one is the natural desire of each political party to criticize this other in a campaign year; the other is

I the effort of small groups to get I over their own particular ideas.

Secretary of State Hull, in his speech of September 12, made It plain that the administration was

' to favor of an international organi-I zation which would agree to tjse 1 force to maintain peace—implying ; that the United Stetes would: offer I its armed forces in collaboration with other nations to stop aggres-

I sion. He went further on the sub-i ject than any official so far but there has been a feeUng on the part of

I many members of congress that the jpeople would support such a policy.

! Pooling of Resotirces j Meanwhile, the public has gradu-' ally come to the realization that Winston Churchill, as the king's first minister with plenary powers, and President Roosevelt, as commander-in-chief and, Aerefore, with similar authority, here agreed that the United States and Briteto wiH POo' their.military resources not only un­til the fighting ends, but until the emergency is ended. They will do this merely by continuing the com-niittee of jotot chiefs of steff.

They have made it plain that they consider the'emergency, or as an official spokesman for the United States described it, "a period of transition," will not end until the last peace treaties are 'signed. In other words, the United Stetes and Great Britain intend, as long as the emergency exists, to take part in an organization to esteblish and main­tain the peace by means of what amounts to a military alliance be­tween the two nations.

Prime Minister ChurchiU was ready to sign a written agreement

i which would include Britein's pledge I to remain our ally, and continue the war with us until japan was beaten

i —that much he told the newsmen— and he added, the. President had

two of the strongest nations remain united. The important tbin^, ' of course, is to obteto the eO-operation of the third most powerful nation, TluRfxis'

And that is what is on the fire right now. Until we know a little more about Russia's views and in­tentions, it will be hnpossible to make a detailed plan for the post­war world.

Here, for the first time, American soldiers, hardened on the harsh sands of Africa and the cruel hills o.f Sicily, meet the guardsmen of the Nazi citadel. Not a bi-coloired army, diluted by a half-hearted ally, Italy, but dogged German fighters defend­ing the gateway to their own, their native land;

The end of the beginntog has end­ed, the beginning of the end has be­gun. And we who have watched every sign and every signal as the curtato between what we thought ahd what we knew was lifted, realize how Uttle we and the world, can guess of the inner and complicated workings of this great war machtoe.

As the armies of the Allies attack the enemy citadel—the leaders of the AlUes, Roosevelt and ChurchiU, plan a new edifice.

The invasion of Sicily and the to­vasion of Italy were planned at Casablanca where, for 24 hours, the few newsnicn who were permitted to know, kept the secret of the meet­ing itself.

F.ARM: Manpoicer Wastage

Approximately 1,300,000 farm fam­ilies are prevented from producing at their maximum because of a lack of financing, James G. Patton, presi­dent of the National Farmers union, declared.

Because they cannot get the credit for purchase of equipment and othef facilities, Patton said, these famUies are producing below their level and thus wasting badly needed manpow-er. To help them increase producr tion, Patton suggested creation, of a billion dollar loan program.

Another source of manpower wast­age, Patton said, was the freezing of farm labor in most of the nation's 3,000 counties. Under provisions of public law 45, Patton pointed out, federal funds for recruiting and transporting farm labor from one area to another are advanced only on approval of the county agent.

When the Congressional Limited, the crack train that runs between New York and Washington, was wrecked in Philadelphia, when the Twentieth Century Limited, an­other crack train between Chicago and New York, was wrecked, and when a hotel burned to Houston, "Texas, the civilian defense organi­zation proved its mettle. On aU three occasions, invaluable service was rendered by these unselfish men and women who have so long an-iswered mock alarms and gone on duty for practice drUls.

It was definitely shown that to the case of the wreck of the Congres­sional Limited and in the Houston fire lives were actuaUy saved by the defense workers. In PhUadelphia a group of air raid wardens meettog near tiie scene of the wreck were the first to arrive on the scene.

In a short time 7,500 tratoed work­ers were at work assisting police and helptog the rescue. So effectively did they handle the traffic that to spite of tiie great crowds, lanes were kept open so that aU tojured persons not actUaUy pinned to the wreck had been removed to hospitels withto 36 or 40 mtoutes.

CHAPTEB VU

One of the nicest tiitogs about Worktog to the kitchen to Biattery C of the 13th BattaUon has. been the knowledge that ite number-one chow hound. Buster Chamley, would drop around after supper and the. conver-: sational fat. It's like a .letter from home to Usten to Buster's slow and mournful drawl, and his refreshtog-ly dry humor is a pick-me-up at the end of a long, hot afternoon.

Buster came pranctog up the chow Itoe, the other' eventog with a grto that sterted at the back of his head and enveloped his face from the nose down. . 'What's eattog you, Waltec,': I asked him,''V—besides that egg-suck­ing gfto?"

"Leavtog here, boy!" he sang.*^ "You won't see me arotmd for three months. And when you see me. son, you'U see stripes on my sleeves and a look of prosperity on my dean-cut Tarheel face!"

The mah behind him wanted to get to the mashed potatoes, so BustM bad to move on down the Une, I got the whole story from one of the kaypees while I waited for him to make his evening.caU.

Of the 200-odd men to Battery C two men had been selected fbr three months' traintog at Fort SUL Okla­homa. At the end of their three montiis, they wiU come back as gun­nery instructors, with a hon-cam-misstoned officer's rattog and p spe­cialist's extra pay on top of that.

: Mrs. Walter Chamley's Uttie boy Buster was one of the two men selected.

One of the sergeante near here came back from a recent leave with one of the most glorious shtoers that ever darkened the human eye.

"Rim toto a door?" I asked him. "Gave a guy the wrong answer,"

he; repUed simply, "or rather, the _janswer he didn't want."

I looked at his face; his teeth were aU there and his jaw was stiU to one piece. I looked at his hands; the knuckles showed the marks of serviee.

"I was at a party," he went on, "when this fellow who Uves next door to my foUss wants to know 'how's the morale to the Army?*

'leavtog here, boy," be sang; "Ton won't see me aronnd for three months, nien I'U be wearing stripes oa my sleeres."

'ExceUent,' I teU him; 'exceUent!' He looks me up and down sort of pitytog-Uke and wante to know don't I read the magaztoe stories about how poor it is. WeU, I teU hhn, 'I spend aU my time with the boys and I believe what I see more than what I read.'

"He goes on from there maktog cracks at the Army and the cotmtry and the suckers we are for givtog our time for what's nbt worth fight­tog for in the first place. I Usten poUtely for a whUe, because even though I'm not to uniform I don't want to look rowdy. I stand as much as I can and then I ask him to his feet. It isn't long before his tiiree brothers joto the fight. It was oiie of the brothers put his finger ring to my eye."

"BroUier," I told hihi, "Uiat ato't a black eye. That's a badge."

"I lost the fight," he said. "You won the argument, though,"

I told him. "I'd lUce to use the sergeant's

name, but he made me promise not to."

"I told the Old Man," he said, "that J got the shtoer playtog base­baU." .

' - * - ; ' "How can I fit you toto a coat,"

moaned Supply Sergeant Israel, "with you fidgettog around lUce a race horse at the post? Stand stiU, dem you, stand stiUl"

"Heavens to Betey, Thomas," I complained, "you're getting to be the fussiest old maid to the outfit. I'm not squirmtogl"

"In the first place, my man," he •aid, "don't call me Thomas or try |o set ovei^y (ami)<*r with voar eki-

ers and betters. In the second place, don't argue with me. In the third place, don't fidget in the first place. And to the fourth place, don't agi­tate me unnecessarUy. I'm at the end of my patience with you and I ato't feeltog to no hoUday sphrit anyway.'.'

I buttoned the handsome wtoter blouse and he stepped back to to-spect it with the eye of an artist. "Every time niy wife gets mad at me, she has her picture taken to send to me. The picture I got to­day showed she's gotog to eat my heart out unnifrcifi^y when 1 can't put off my furlough any'longer and I have to go home. . Ahd vtrith do­mestic diflficulties on my hands, I have to fit yOiur winter imlfornis."

He yanked at my coatteU, straight­ened the coUar and scratched his head. "Hargrovef—37 long," he yeUed to the .boy at the desk.

"Man thait is bom of woman,": I comforted him, "is of many days and fuU of trouble."

",Git off the platform and toto this overcoat," he sighed. He held the coat whUe I got toto it and he slapped my hand for fidgeting agato. "Somethnes I wonder why I go to so much trouble keeptog yoti boys dressed right. Here I spend the whole afternoon wipmg sweat out of,

jny eyebrows, just te see that your "clothes fit you and you won't look like, a bimch of bums^rwhich you are.

"Do you know what some imgrate-ful kitchen termite said the other day? He sterted putttog it around that the Army could double iteelf to half an hour by fiUtog up the extra space to ite trousers. Do your trou­sers fit you bum?" He straightened the pleate to the back of the over­coat and gave the teU ah imneces-sarily vicious yank.

"Did I say Uiey didn't?" I groaned, raistog my arnis despah:-togly. "Just because somebody else says you stretoh the coat to the back so the man. wUl think it fite right to the front, you have to go picktog on mei"

"Me pick on you?" he iscreamed. "It's a wonder my nerves ato't com­pletely shot! Do I come around and put signs on the door saytog, 'WaUc Up One FUght and Save Five Dol­lars'? Do I throw gunny sacks on your bed and ask you to take up the cuffs two toches?

"With my thankless job, it's a wonder I haven't coUapsed before this. I wish I was a permanent kitchen poUce tostead of a supply sergeant. Hargrove — 37 long! NEXT!"

-tA— . "This battery is my baby," Cor­

poral Henry Ussery said, loosening his belt for a real buU session. I've watched it grow from thutty-one men to what it is now. It was hard work buildtog up this battery to what it is now, but it's worth it when you look around and see what you've done."

The assembly sighed en masse and decided to loosen ite belts. Us­sery was woimd up again.

"Wheri I got here, there wasn't anybody here biit the instructors. We spent four weeks eatmg dust and runntog rabbite. There I was—I'd spent thutteen months leamtog the old drill and tactics to where I reckon I had it down better than any man to the whole Army. Then they sterted this 'minute Army.' with a bunch of green ignorant Yan­kees—and I had to teach them what they had to know!"

The bull session nodded wisely and Corporal Ussery went on. "Now, this young Corporal Joe Gantt, for instence. Now, this Corporal Gantt, when he first came m, was one of the greenest rookies in the bunch. But he snapped out of it and made corporal to four months.

"Was that soldiertog," a voice broke to, "or handshaking—as the Lattos used to say, mittus flop-pus?" "Much as I can't stand Gantt, I'U

have to admit it was soldiering. That's the way it is. You sweat your head off hammering the drills and tiie calisthenics and the military courtesy and guard duty and the physical hygiene and the manual of arms into them. They're all clumsy and awkward as a bear to an egg crate at first, but then you can see them, after a while, snap­ptog into it and getting better and better. By the time we've had them thutteen weeks, and they're ready to be assigned to their poste, they're as keen and. alert as a bunch of West Potot cadets. They're extra good cooks and better soldiers."

"Isn't a good soldier a specialist at griptog and growUng?" somebody asked him.

"Griptog is an art, just like gold­brickmg is an art. Before you leave here, you learn that you don't enjoy griping a bit when you spread your enefgy aU over everywhere, griping about everything. You leam to choose one thing and specialize in griping about that.

"If you want to be a specialist at griping, you have to get on your toes. You get to where your clothes are comfortable. Where you used to think the food was terrible, now you pretend thiat you don't get enough of it. You like the beds and by nine o'clock you're sleepy. So you have to find somethtog special to gripe about. If yoti haven't got any originality at aU, pick you out one special noncom and gripe about him.

• W . N . U . s c n , v i c a "Now, you take Private Hargrove,

for tostance. First came here, he griped about me telltog him he was carrymg his rifle wrong. Now he gripes .when I teU him he's carrytog it righ . He might have somethtog there.

At night we sleep, or simulate sleep, in pup tente made by onr own hands with lovtog care.

Fort Bragg for a taste of the food we eat. A vexed soldier here doesn't grate his teeth. He crunches them.

We made the trip here to lorries, which are the mechanical age's nearest approach to appearance to covered wagons. You've probably seen tbem roUtog hoisUy but smoothly through town—large can­vas-topped trucks with a fold-tog bench down each side inside. You'd e.\pect to be hauled out of one of them, beaten to death, at the end Of a 130-mUe trip. They give a tolerably bumpy ride, just tblerably.

When we started pitching camp, about a quarter of a mUe back from the beach, we found the place al­ready tohabited — by cannibals. These cfeatiires, which masquerade as harmless flies and even camou­flaged by the harmless sbundtog name of sand flies, must have vam­pire blood back m the Itoe some­where.

I don't bear any grudge against the easygomg, good-natured house fly—in fact, I feel rather cruel when I squash one for tickUng me—but it arouses my pioneer flghttog spirit to see a stunted horsefly Ught on my bare leg, make himself sasslly com­fortable and stert draining off my Ufa's blood. But what can you do? Slapptog one only serves to make hini mad at you.

At night we sleep, or at least we simulate sleep, in pup tente made by our own hands with loving care, blood, sweat, tears, two pieces of waterproof cloth, two lengths of rope, and a handful of tumed lum­ber.

I share my little duplex with Pri­vate Warren, the new student cook who told me the story about the man at the boarding liouse. When I stumbled home last night, primed to the gills with a blend of sand and salt water, I discovered that we had an overnight guest! The chief cook on our shift, iii the tesk of packing the field kitchen, had neg­lected to put his own field pack (tent half, blankets, ete.) on the truck, so he decided to drop over and have us put him up for the night.

A pup tent, as you probably don't need to be told, will accommodate two men, provided neither of them walks in his sleep. If three men are to sleep in one tent, at least two of them must be midgete or babes to arms. Cooks should neyer sleep two to a tent, because of their tendency toward plumpness.

We arranged oursclveis in the tent by wrapping knees aroimd the tent poles, putting all feet outside for the night and raistog one side of the tent high enough to make a rus­tic sleeping porch of the \yhole af­fair.

The guest proved to be one of those loathsome creiatures who pull aU the covers to their side of the bed. We had quite a lot of trouble with him, stoce he slept to the middle and rolled up to both our blankete. We remedied this by wait­ing untU he started snoring, then recovered our blankete, roUtog our­selves to them and throwing a rain­coat over him.

The three-man arrangement was very uncomforteble fbr a while. When I finished opetiing my eyes by scooptog the sand from them, I found that I had roUed through the opened side of the tent and spent the night under a myrtie bush ten yards down the slope.

During my first off hour, I suc­ceeded to getttog a ten which must have darkened tiie very marrow of my bones. My .chest, back, and legs looked the color of a faded dan­ger flag and smeUed like the roast pork that the cook forgot to watoh. After that, the surf and the sun went their ways and I west mtoe.

By KATHLEEN NORRIS ""^7 'OU have never received

I a letter from a more de-•*• spairing heart than

mine," writes Marie Porter, from a great war industries cen­ter in Michigan. "I have so comr pletely wrecked my life, and my chances of happiness in life, that. if we were face to face I could ndt tell you my story. But I can write it, and ask for advice, and I know you will save me if you can. Many times I have thought of iending it all, but although I have hot prayed for ye?rs I was raised in an atmosphere of strict religious beUef and I hesitate to kiU myself—It seems tO me a grave sto. And I have not actually sinned, foolish and weak as I cer­teinly am. I was 18 to June.

"Seven months ago, working as a riveter, I met a young man who was destmed to leave for the army last July. We feU in love and were married. I have no family, and his is in Oregon, where they have asked me to come and stay. Louis is a ftoe man, quiet, and without any educational or cultural advantages; his first letters were somewhat of a shock to me, for althoiigh he. is 28, he writes like a boy of ten. But we thought ourselves ih love and would not wait to try our affection by de­lay or absence,

"After he left I met another man, a different type. This man is vital, amustog, successful and popular. He is far better educated than Louis. When I met him I did not teU him I was married; it seemed a joke then. It was at a service dance; he supposed me to be even younger than I am, and as the few girls I knew didn't know anything of my private life, he suspected nothing. We went about together after that, always, may I say, with strict pro­priety, and presently discovered our­selves to be really in love. This was quite different from the flrst affair; it caused me as much misery as joy, and I knew no one ever would mean to me what Jack did. He went off to camp and Louis came home. When We met again it was to haive the knowledge that my marriage was a mistake grow daily stronger. The frantic distress this caused me, you may imagine; Louis suspected nothing and was completely happy; we spent every hour of his leave together. He was being sent to Af­rica immediately afterward. I did not have the courage to tell him of my feeling for Jack, but when Jack in turn came home he persuaded me to write the absolute truth to Louis; that I had been foolish to marry so young and so hastily, and that I wanted him to set me free. I wrote quite a long letter, making it as gentle and affectionate as I could, and Jack and I began to plan our marriage.

Havtog no home and no family I do not know which way to turn; I can go on working until after Christ­mas—then what? Divorced from Louis, with a baby to support, what can I do?

mtoute he got home, and aU this could not haye happened. Please advise me and save me from de­spair."

Poor Uttle 18-year-old, you have certatoly made a sad mess of your life so far! But 18 is not very okl, to fact, twice 18 Is not very old, and you have time ahead to grow wiser and buUd up to happiness and self-respect again out of this wreckage.

The first consideration now is yoiir baby, and if you don't realize that today I can assure you that you wiU realize, it in March, when you have the Uttle creature to your arms. Stoce Louis is the father, aAd Louis loves you, the best first step is to write Louis the truth. That you met Jack, liked Jack, liked him even to the point of considermg marrytog him, and that it was under that par­ticular emotional stress that you wrote Louis to ask a divorce.

Write Husband About Plans. Go on to say that everything is

changed now. A new responsibility —a new prospect ha.? come. There is going to be a child. And for that child's sake you are never gotog to see Jack again, you are going to live quieUy'i planning for the baby to the sprtog, and waiting for Louis to come home. Say that yoti are sorry, and hope he wUl destroy your letter and forget it; remtod him that you are very youhg, and confused by the exciting conditions in which you are Uvtog in war time.

He wUl write you forgivingly, I'm sure. If you can possibly go to his parents early in the new year, I would do so. And if you do go to the farm, and it sounds a comfortable place, make them love you; set yourseU to winning them, and to be­tog a good wife and mother.

As for lovtog Jack; you are no more sure of that than you were of loving Louis only a few months ago. At 18 you are hardly sure of any emotional reaction, let alone two love affairs. You have plunged much, too young toto the reaUties of life, ahd life revenges iteelf upon you by presenting you with ite most poignant reality; that of mother­hood. Nothing matters now except that you fit yourself to meet this challenge as worthily, cheerfully, normally as you can. You are mak­ing a high salary, put aside some­thing every week for your expenses when the baby comes: look about yoii for some place where you can board, and perhaps board the baby, too, and go on working afterward.

Girl Mnst Grow Up. If Louis writes you coldly, indig­

nant at your vaccilations, as well he may, face that situation, too. In other words, try to grow up and be a woman, rather than a bewildered child stumbling from one misteke to another. Don't say anything niore about a. divorce, should Louis an­grily agree to one. Instead write him cheerful letters about yourself, about his parente and his home, and eventually about the baby, and let ail serious decisions wait untU be comes home again.

by Ruth Taylor Free speech is the life blood of the

Republic of the United States. From the Bill of Rights to the Four Free­doms, it hasM)een a symbol of democ­racy; so completely accepted as a right, that we came to take it for granted.

We could not fully realize the existence of the totalitarian regimes because we could not sense a nation without the right to "speak out." Dic­tators always gage the people and stifle the opposition just as quickly as. possible. Without free speech no man knows the ambitions Or Ideals motivating his neighbor and fear keeps him quiescent , under the tyrant's sway. The abolition of free speech precedes by just a moment the enslavement of man.

But how may we presen-e free speech?

If speech is free, if free speech is to be desired enough to fight for it, if its loss is .one of the greatest a nation can suffer, we should cherish it, and use it wisely—for free speech is a responsibility as well as a right. Free speech must be true speech. Free speech means the right to dis­agree and to state the reason for dissent, without recourse to, slander­ous abuse. All fair-minded men must frowi> upon demagogic shrieks of hatred.

While we fight to protect freedom of speech, we should not employ that freedom in the tactics of the enemy, destroying unity by sniping at each other. No one group, whether it be of class, employment, state or sec­tion, ;of race, national origin or of religion, should carry free speech to extremes. If one side does it, the other side is,not justified in following suit. Free speech should not mean mud-slinging.

Liberty must never degenerate into license; freedom of assembly must never end in mob rule; and free j speech must never lower itself to vituperative slander of those with whom we are not in accord or against any group of our population. If we so misuse free speech, we sink to the depths of depravity of the Niazis who are trying to wipe out a religion, as of the Jews—or a nation as of the Poles'whom the latest decree refused to recognize as "human beings" or as '.'fellow Christians,"

Free speech can only be exercised by a free people—free to study the facts, weigh the source and state their own position clearly and calmly. They must be ready to listen as well as to speak, open minded to argu­ments but not willing to compromise with intolerance. »

Oct. Ist lets down the bars on raccoon hunttag. Hares and rab­bits, grey squirrels, grouse, raccoon, Oct. 1 to Dec. 1. If reports are true it's to be the biggest game season ever. There Is a big .supply of game birds and anhnals of aU ktads and very few of the boys honie to hunt them. If the get 1 smaU this year what a big game crop there will be hi 1944; •

The past week has been just one base of lost dOg or dogs. AU over my district and ta fact over ta Wil-ley's district are reports of dogs lost. AU of-them had a nanie or U-cense plate ori the collar. Please re­port at once aU lost or found dogs to your police department who ta turn wUl notify us or the nearest Conservation officer.

As this is neartag the hunttag season and fox and rabbit hounds are scarce it may be that some one is picktag.up a good looktag bound dog. Better check.your dog's ac­tions for a whUe. You may leam somethtag to your advantage. If you see anyone plcktag up a dog by the road side get the number of the car. It may help ta getttag the dog back. °

Some time last sprtag I found a Uttle skunk that was very young and I doubted if the Uttle feUow would Uve. WeU he Is aUve, to fact very much aUve and he has the nm of the house and he makes the three smaU dogs ta that household toe the mark. Yes, he has been de-scented but he Is StlU ihe boss of that kitchen. They make wonder­ful pets if taken young enough to lose that wild nature.

The flock of semi-wUd maUard ducks that I introduced ta the Souhegan river and Stoney broqk just goes to show what a hard thne a duck has to Uve ta a viUage over­run by stray cats and some that are not strays. Many a brood was hatched on the banks of both streams and one by ot e they dls- appeared and cats were the cause. Several cats answered the last caU as they were maktag their way tip the bank with a duckltag in its mouth. Some of the boys can shoot weU with a 22. '

You have heard the old time ex­pression "Will try anythtag.once." WeU ta my case I wiU try "Cyano-gas" more than once. This is a gas for cleantag out the rats and mice and let me teU you it's the answer to oUr prayers. I tried sonie of this

jat the advice of a friend. I was over run with rats some<smaU but the most of theim were large—and a mlUlon If I had one. Well we went by the. directions on the can and In 48 hours there was a stiltaess that we had not enjoyed for months. It did the trick and now a week later we have seen but one and I got hhn ta a French rat trap. This wonderful gas,Is made by the American Cyanariid & Chemical Corp., N. Y. City. You can buy it at any up to date hardware store. Try It and get rid of your rats and mice. O yes, It's good for cleantag out woodchucks and other vermin. I have tried "everythtag under the sun to get rid of my rats but thiS' is the goods and does the trick. No I am not an agent and do not seU it but can recommend it as OK. It's poison and must be used with great care and caution. But it's worth a try.

No, I have not got hold of any boys' or men's second hand bicyc­les. I have tried aU over the coun­try and they all tell me the same thing, "No such animal."

The Greenville Sportsman's club are to hold their next meeting Oct. 6. They are to have motion pictures and a special program. Better drop In If you are In that town on that nlght.They hope to get tato their new home some time In October or early November.

A pure white deer has been re­ported as being seen ta one of my

towns. One .day iast week a man was out In his apple orchard and saw what he UioughTwais a herd of cows over the waU. He thought his neighbor's cattle were ta his clover. Upon a close look see he counted 22 deer havtag a real feed ta his clover. He watched them tiU ,the wtad shifted and thexi how his deer went over the fence. This Is how hfe got the exact coimt. Stagle fUe.

Last week I worked agata with John Martin of Keene and Herbert Peaslee of Fitchburg, Mass. Through the efforts of Mr. Peaslee we were able to have a court case ta Jaffrey and an out of state, man paid a $57 ftae. for-shoottag a migartory. wa^ ter fowl ta one of my lakes .ta Btadge. This was ftae cooperation by a member of the Mass. Division of Fisheries and Game. More power to Herb and his conservation offi­cers.

I hate to teU you this, feUows, but the elder mills have started to percolate and the cider although now very sweet is good. We wiU save some fbr you feUows.

The presence of over 100.colored soldiers from the Manchester camp is quite a novelty ta this part of the world. They are helptag to har­vest the bumper Mackintosh &pple crop. The schools (7th grade up) start at 8 a. m., finish at ,noon and pick apples, dig spuds ta the P. M. Anythtag to help wta the war.

There is big bustaess ta the Ut­tle town Of Mt. Vemon. Mr. Fletch­er the potato Ktag of southem N. H., has 25 acres of spuds aind over $7,000 of machtaery to plant and harvest this big crop. Besides spuds he has had 20,000 chickens this year on his big ranch. Most of the chic­kens have been started in the old Mt. Vemon Golf Course house. And that is not aU. In that town this year has been hatched and har­vested over 200,000 chickens ahd not much of a place for chicks either. .

Every now and then we see an article' In some big dally where a quUlplg or porcuptae threw his quUlsl In fact he can't do any such thing. You have got to get ta actual contact for him to stab you. One morntag lately a local orchard man went oiit tato his field ahd saw seven quill pl'gs ta the top of a young tree and were they dotag a job on that tree. Well he collected four bits from the local selectmen on the seven but that did not pay his big loss to the tajured tree.

is there a blueprint or plan for making menus? That's a question

homernakers fre-qiicntly put to the food experts. Yes, there is. Suppose you are given a list of foods to be included in your daily diets, a sort

ot general plan that you can adapt to every day's needs. Can you make out your menus? Here is the blue­print:

Group I. Green and yellow vege­tables. At least one of each kind should, be included daily to meet vitamin and mineral requirements of the diet.

Gronp II. At least one serving of oranges, grapefruit or tomatoes to get enough Vitamin C in the diet. A good time to get this requirement in is during breakfast—with the truit.

Group in. Potatoes or other fruit and vegetables to add rhore min­erals and vitamins to the diet. .

Group IV. Milk or milk products. This may be in the form of milk (1 pint per day for adults, 1 quart for children), fresh or evaporated, and cheese. , .

Group V. Meat, poultry, fish, eggs ir dried beans, peas, nuts or pea­nut butler.. This group is needed to build and repair body tissue.

Group VI. Bread, (lour and ce­reals are required to meet energy needs and the vi­tamin B needs of the body. Be sure that any of these that you use are whole - grain, en-r i c h e d or re -stored. You would have to eat four times as much ordmary breadv for example, to get as much nutritional value as one loaf of enriched bread contains. .„ ,

Group VII. Butter or fortified mar­garine. Use some of either every day to give energy and vitamin A.

That's the plan. Use food out of every group, every day.

The best way to divide the groups into three balanced meals will run something like this: ;

For breakfast: Citrus fruit, cereal, eggs, milk or beverage, toast.

For lunch or dinner: Meat (poul­try or fish, etc.), vegetable in ei­ther group I or III, milk or milk products.

For dinner or supper: Meat poul­try or fish, vegetable or fruit from groups I, II, or III. Milk or milk product, and also bread and butter from groups VI and VII.

An easy way to plan the menus is to write down the foods and the cor­responding number of the group of food from which it comes. If you do not use one or two of the groups during one meal, pick them up at the next. No chance for slips, here! Keep one eye on the plan and the other on the ration books while do­

ing this and you can meet the re quirements of both.

Now, here is some concrete neip to stretch those red points:

•Sausage and Succotash Pie. (Serves 4 to 6)

1 pound pork sausage meat .3 cups cooked, dried or fresh Unda

beans V/t to 2 caps cooked com 2 tablespoons red pepper, chopped 2 tablespoons shortening 4 tablespoons flour 2 cups milk Lightly,fry sausage. Dram weU.

Combme with vegetables. Make white sauce by blending flour in­to melted short­ening. Add milk slowly, stirring constantly. Cook until thickenedi Season, then add . . . to meat mixture. Pour mto balnng dish. Top with pastry. Bake in a hot oyen (425 degrees) 30 to 40 mm. utes. I

stripes of the American flag are 17% months older than the oldest stars. The Grand ' Union flag, which was the Continental emblem from January 2, 1776, until June 14, 1777, consisted of 13 stripes, al­ternately red and white. _

What they do: The basic seven food requirements are so made up as to take care of the body's demand for certain types of food;

For example, proteins, miner­als and water are all essential to building torn parts of the body and keeping them in repair. They are needed for tissues, bones, muscles, blood and other fluids.

Energy for breathing, heart ac­tion, circulation of the blood, and other bodily functions is supplied by fuel foods—foods rich in fats and sugar. 1

To keep up the body's resist­ance to disease; to keep it in good running order, is the function of regulation and protective foods— these are the vitamins, mbierals, water and roughage. j

Whisn you hear a Marine called a "Leatherneck," it has nothing to do with the epidermis of his neck. Yiears ago the Marine uniform was equipped with a high, stiff leather collar.

For 72 days he was "missing in action." His cdfnrades in a marine corps flying unit in the Guadalcanal area had long giv­en up hope of seeing him again. But Sergeant Bill CofCeeh. came back. Shaggy and lean, he stepped out of a lavy rescue plane. He told of surviving storms, blistering svm and in­fection and Uving for 32 days on a cocontit diet. The last 40 daya be was missing, friendly natives cared for him.

"1 got ofl on the wrong foot that momhig of April 13 and ended up the same way," began Cofleen. "My plane barely missed the treetops as I took off from Henderson Field. A guide ligbt at the end of the strip bUnded me. We were, to escort navy torpedo bombers on a mission.

"Within sijjht of land between Ko­lombangara and Choiseiil.islands, I suddenly noticed my engine smok­ing. My oil line was lealdng.

"Losing altitude rapidly and fear­ing the motor would explode, I de­cided to bale out.

"It seemed that I hit the water just a few seconds after n»y para­chute opened.

"I pulled the cord on my life jack­et, but it failed to inflate. It had been punctured. I pulled.my rubber raft out and mflated it. The paddle was missing.

"The water was calm, but 30 min­utes later a storm hit. High waves tossed my small rubber raft about like a toothpick, and overturned it. Into the water went all of my medi­cal supplies end emergency rations. All I had left was the clothing I was wearing, and my hunting knife and pistol.

"After I righted the raft I started paddling with .my hands. I still was in sight of land. In riiid-aftemoon I heard the familiar drone of our fighter plane motors—it was my flight retummg from the strike on which I had set out that moming.

"Several of the planes flew low and almost directly over me. I fired five shots from my pistol and waved the white raft sail, but they failed to see me.

"I started paddling with my.hands toward land. On the way, sharks swished by the raft.

Reaches SmaU Island. "I slept in a sitting position that

night. Long before daybreak I started again for- land. The sea was calm. Near sundown the sec- j ond day out, I finally reached the shore of a small island. I was ex­hausted, hungry and thirsty. When I reached the beach of the coconut grove island I realized I made a

•1 reached thei beach near the house atmid-aftemoao'of the next day. I hid my raft in the bush aind approached the buildhig; fear­ful that it was occupied by Japs. I saw a sign that read 'Solomon De-vetophig Company,. Sydney, Austra ' Iia > . .' I. soon learned that the building wais part of ah iabandoned coconut plantation.

"I'Stayed at the plantation house five days. On the shrth day I gath­ered 8ome,Umes and oranges and started traveling again. In the dis­tance I could see the tip of a large island, with the peak of a moun-tam rising above the clouds. I de­cided tb make this island nay next objective. . V .

"When I landed I soon found that I had made isnother bad move. I found'no life; only cliffs and moun­tains. However, there was plenty of fredi water—my first m approxi­mately 27 days.

"I finally decided that I would re­trace my steps ahd try to make it back to the first inland oh which I landed. I started out the next morn­ing and barely made it back to the plantation house. The infection in my hand had cleared; but my foot was swollen from infection.

Prayed tor Direction. "That night I planned what I de­

cided would probably be my final at­tempt to contact life. I prayed to God Almighty to send me in the right direction. Tomorrow, I de­cided I'll make for the other side of the big island.

"Near dusk on the fourth day, as I had barely enough strength in my arms to paddle, a storm broke and gradually I was carried out to sea. The last I remember I started to scream, and then I passed out!

•'I was told later that a high wind blew me into shore. When I re­gained consciousness I was in the arms of a native.

" 'You American or Jap?' the na­tive inquired in his best pidgin Eng­lish.

" T m American,' I told him. "'American, you good,' he re­

plied. -"Those were the best words I be­

lieve I have ever heard in my life. I knew, then that I had been rescued.

"I couldn't walk. My rescuer car­ried Tc\e to his hut not far from the beach. I asked the date and he told me it was May 15. When I told him I had been lost shice April 13—32

"Twelve fighter pilots of my squadron had been out on a rou­tine escort missibn. We were sent to escort a group of marine dive boihbers on a foray against the Jap^-held airfield at Mimda and were retumihg to Hender-«(on on .Gu£i.dalcaiial..''.

Major R. L. Vroome; TJ. $. M. C, was telling a group of fighter pilots about Sgt Gilbert Henze, an 18-year-old gunner from State Center, Iowa.

Trap Lures, Electrocutes And Disposes of Rats

Probably, the most intricate rat-trap ever invented is now avail­able for use in large buildings, such as warehouses, factories and hotels, says Collier's. About the sise of a trunk, with two "stories," many compartments and two ramps, this device automatically lures, traps, electrocutes and dis­poses of each rat in a few seconds and then resets itself, through. a complicated electrical rriechanism which includes photoelectric cells.

Arm and Foot Infected. "My left arm was swollen to

twice its normal size overnight. My right foot was also hifected. I..realized blood poison was devel­oping, so I cut open the source Of infection with my knife, and bathed my arm in salt water for more than an hour. I was relieved somewhat and decided to move on. That morn­ing I tried to drink coconut juice, but I just couldn't get it down.

"As I paddled along the shore I saw what appeared to be a red-roofed bouse near the end ot the island.

"The house proved, a greater dis­tance away than I had estimated;

"I felt stronger the next day. By the third day I was able to walk once more. They decided to take me in a canoe to their village, where I was given American food—canned meat and potatoes. On the second day in the village the infection in my foot was lanced. •: "Duruig my stay in. the native vil­lage I was stricken with malaria. I was given 'queenie,* native name for quinine.

PRICE CONTROL IS ONE FACTOR IN PAPER SALVAGE PROBLEM

Scrap dealers cannot offer high prices for waste paper, even though a strong demand exists, the Office of Price Administration has pointed out, explaining that while there is no legal limit to the amount a.scrap dealer may pay a householder, there is a very. definite limit to the .price the

The dealer who sells waste paper has.a top legal price of $12.00 per ton for mixed paper of the cheaper grades. He may sell it for $14.00 per ton if it is packed and baled. The dealer has to go to the expense of collecting, transporting and sorting the paper, OPA pointed out, and may have to store it for a considerable length of time before there is oppor­tunity to ship it to a place where it can be converted into pulp.

During normal times the. demand for such paper is small, and. of ten the price at which a junk dealer can sell it is insufficient to pay for the ex­penses of collection. Even today, with a guaranteed war-time demand, there is so little profit in collecting waste paper from householder that it is too much to expect the junk dealer to pay a price for small lots of paper that even approaches his top selling price for bulk sales, according to OPA. Saving waste paper for Sal­vage campaigns must remain essen­tially a patriotic contribution of each householder to the war effort, in the same class as the saving of tin cans, tin tubes and certain other scrap materials.

SQUASH STORAGE Experiments at the N.. H. Expert- :

ment Station have shown that when squash are stored hi. a perm­anent place the same day they are harvested, they wlU quickly heal their bruises. If you wait two or three days the squash loses • the power of producing the protective resin and is far more likely to spoil.

In a rather severe test at the University of N. H., stems were cut and the squash bruised the day they were brought into storage and yet n out of 20 kept very nicely. On the other hand, some were stored for a week in the field to go through a curhig process and only two out of 20 kept until the holidays. The storage of squash in the field to harden them is detri­mental to the squash. During, the night they get cdld and as a con­sequence dew is deposited on the squash and this provides an ideal entering place for the many dis­eases that rot the squash in istor-age. '

The best place to keep squash is a dry and perhaps fairly warm storage. The temperature perhaps makes little difference as long as the squash is always kept dry. Most of us are better able to keep the squash dry at a temperature around 45 to 50 degrees, either on a shelf near the furnace or near the.Chimney in the attic, or in an upstairs room.
