Orphaned by war and left destitute, he and she need other friends—friends with spare cloth ing for the girl and something more suitable than that misfitting old coat for her brother., Millions more of innocent men, women and children are in tragic need in w ar- devastated lands abroad. You can be their friend by contributing setviceable- flsed clothing, shoes and bedding to the United Na tional Clothing Collection Leave all packages of clothing at the office of the Clinton War Price and Rationing Board. Capt. Robert L. Kilgo, son of “Mr. and Mrs. James P. Kilgo, of Dar-j lington, now attached to an infantry division in the Philippine islands, has received a citation from the war de- 1 partment which in part reads as fol=-[ , ! lows: ./‘During the attack, a light machine; gun in the perimeter of the company was destroyed, and the crew killed and wounded. Captain Kilgo disre- • garded his own personal safety, and in the face of intense enemy fire, j crawled from his position near the 1 center of the perimeter to the ma chine gun. Upon reaching his posi-' i tion, and finding the machine gun i had been destroyed, he moved back i through the perimeter, being endan gered by fire from his own troops as 1 well as that of the enemy, and, j brought back a heavy machine gun | ! and crew from a position where the light machine gun had been destroy ed, thereby stopping a hole in the perimeter at its most critical point, and greatly contributing to the suc cessful defense of his‘area.” ,« R U AWAPE *?
