You will see his face break in a smile as he sleeps and you will know that he is again in contact with that beautiful etemltjy from whence be so late ly come—he’s smiling at the angels! REDS SAY THEY’LL TAKE CARE HUN TORTURERS IN OWN WAY Home Demonstration A SOLDIER’S POEM TREATMENT OP GI JOES IN FLORIDA CLEANING JUNIOR Wha with all the new babies mak ing their appearance in this trou bled world I think I am due young fathers (out of a wealth of exper ience) a bit of advice on the care of their offspring. Care of a baby is largely a matter of keeping him clean, fo his first few months are spent in a very determined effort to stay nasty. You cannot go about this job in a pell-mell manner. It must be scientifically done. First you cau tiously unfasten the safety pin in Junior’s diaper and let the three corners down. Now take Junior by the heels and raise him up until he is resting comfortably on the back of his neck and go to work with the clean corner of the diaper. Never work with a circular motion—that only spreads the confusion. Rather, work toward a given point with master-like strokes. You will soon be surprised how much infantile anatomy can be cleaned with the tip of his little britches. Now that you have all the outlying area cleaned take the three corners of the dia per, forming a sort of ball (soft ball) and make one last swipe at Junior’s posterior and he’s reedy for any man’s boaird of health. This all may sound a little complicated, but it is the advice of a master. It is the only way. •Now that you have it off, what are you going to do with it? Why, wash it, of course! Remember, you are at this stage, still in love with your wife and you don’t want her soft hands in such messy business. You’ll learn, but not yet. For this job I can also advise from experience. Alongside of your tub of dirty diapers placq a tub of clean water. Pick up the diaper carefully by the hem and jog it up and down and pass to the other tub. When all have been transferred roll up your sleeves and dive in. If you go about it energetically Juniors underwear will soon be floating in the breeze and you will be happy, but, not as happy a s when you have wrapt his little behind in a nice clean cloth and From a letter from a GI: “I want to give you an idea of Florida as a “hole”—that’s what it is. My buddy and I went to Delray Beach last night. The first object was to get there. Transportation is the worst I have seen. They have just half enough buses to carry the boys to different towns. My main gripe is these damn civilians from all over the country driving down here in big cars—big enough to give three or four Joes a lift, but they travel along for most part. They park themselves in the big hotels and travel alone for the most part. They don’t know there is even a war on. “After we finally got to Delray we couldn’t find a place to stay. We went to a hotel and asked the clerk if we could sit on one of the chairs for a while and try to get a little sleep. He said “Oh, no, I couldn’t have that. The people vflio live here wouldn’t like that.” We asked him if a GI meant anything to them. He answered “No, I don’t think they do.” And that’s the kind of people we are to fight for. They want to know why a GI hates this place, well that’s reason enough. We got so mad we came back to camp and went to bed.” LEE-JACKSON PROGRAM The United Daughters of The Confederacy will present a Lee- Jackson program at th echapel hour at Newberry College, Friday, Jan. 19, 1945.

London, Jan. 15—Anxiety grew in Britain tonight over reports that the Allied War Crimes commission had jettisoned plans to try Hitler and other Axis leaders, and Moscow broadcast that Russia intends to deal with German war criminals in her own way. To memberb of the commission, on which Russia is not represented, already have stepped out—Chair man Sir Cecil Hurst of Britain and Norwegian Ambassador Brik Col- ban. Sir Cecil gave ill health as his reason and Colban said “pressrue of work” forced his retirement. The foreign office moved to calm fears that there was any possibili ty of the culprits’ escaping through legal loopholes and announced that Lord Justice William Finlay, noted British jurist, has accepted appoint ment as, Sir Cecil’s successor. The Moscow radio quoted Ilya Ehrenburg, Moscow’s best-known newspaperman, writing in Pravda, as saying: “We ourselves will judge our tor turers and this we will entrust to nobody." A move was underway in London to bring the whole question of the British policy on war crimes be fore the House of Commons to be thrashed out at the earliest date possible. The outspoken London Star de manded that there be “no legalistic boggling in ibis business” and as serted in a sharp editorial that “if there is one thing that we all know we are fighting for it is to see the war lords and torturers of Europe and Asia tried for their crimes. There can be no compromise about that.” MOTHERS CLUB TO MEET WITH MRS. CALCOTE The school group of the Mothers Club will meet at 4 o’clock Friday afternoon at the home of Mrs. C. A. Calcote with Mrs. J. W. Martin as co-hostess Mr. and Mrs. Rufus W. Hutchin son of Easley, stopped over in New berry last weekend for an over night visit with her sister, Mrs. Henry B. Wells on Harrington street. They also visited Mr. Hutchinson’s kinsman, James R. Davidson, and his family, before going on to Saluda where they will visit their son, the Rev. Olin F. Hutchinson, and, family. The Rev. Mr. Hutchinson is pastor of two [Baptist churches in Saluda. Mr. and Mrs. E. M.

ANNOUNCEMENT of change of Ownership Smith Cut-Rate Drug Stores has purchased the stock and equipment of The Newberry Drug Company AND WILL CONTINUE BUSINESS AT THE SAME LOCATION By ETHEL L. COUNTS On the postman’s calendar the seed catalogs follow the Christmas mall and arrive with the new year. On the gardener’s calendar, seed catalog time should be the time for planning the garden and ordering seeds and other necessary supplies. This year supplies of vegetable seeds promise to be adequate for all Victory gardens, according to the U. S. Department of Agriculture. Favorable weather last year in areas where seeds are grown commercially resulted in a bumper crop. How ever, gardeners are advised to order their seeds as early as possible. Shotage of help may mean a delay in orders that arrive in a rush at the eleventh hour. A good rule for Victory gardeners this year is: Buy supplies early but buy no more than you need. Sometimes we become careless about important matters and the ever present subject of Nutrition is one that gets its share of slights The school lunch is doing a great thing along this line. Packed lunches are apt to 'be monotonous and! unbal anced. One year of right feeding in the life of a child is more important than 10 years after 40, say nutrition spec ialists of the U. S. Department of Agriculture. One of the best in vestments a community can make, the school lunch pays dividends now and for the future in better school work, fewer absences from school, and healthier, happier children. When the noon recess bell rings in some 35,000 schools across the na tion this term, it calls four million children to a nourishing school lunch. Yearly more communities are organ- sizing to give their children a. noon time meal which meets at least one- third of the food needs for the day. This is a good chance for all of us to encourage a worth while pro ject and help the children get the proper food and the advantages gained. ARMY POSTAL SERVICE wishes to clear up some of the misunder standings of the public relative to overseas mail delivery, according to Col. Hartley B. Dean, Fourth Ser vice Command postal officer. “It appears,” said Colonel Dean, “that one of the complaints of the public is that mail service from overseas is better than the service going over seas. The reason for this is that mail coming to> the United States is bound for a definite, fixed address while overseas communications are often delayed due to the necessity of directory service and forwarding to find organizations and individuals in a constantly changing scene. “Another thing which seems to puzzle the public is the fact that overseas letters are received in bunches. This is due to transporta tion facilities—if a convoy sails only every two weeks, naturally the mail will pile up and be received in one batch. This includes air mail. Both air and ordinary mail aiccumulate waiting for cargo space and as the space is available, the oldest mill is shipped out first. Of course if plane space becomes available after the letters (both ordinary and air mail) have gone by boat, the most recent letters arrive first and the sequence of the letter is broken. Look, God, I have never spoken to You. But now I want to say. How do You do. You see, God, they told me You did n’t exist, And like a fool, I believed all this. Last night from shell hole I saw Your sky; I figured right then they told me a lie. Had I taken the time to see the things You made, I’d have known they weren’t calling a spade a spade. I wonder, God, if You’d shake my hand. Somehow, I feel that you will under stand. Funny, I had to come to this hellish place, Before I had time to see your face. Well, I guess there isn’t much more to say. But I’m sure glad, God, I met You today. 1 guess the zero hour will soon be here, But I’m not afraid since I know yon’re here. The signal: Well, God, I’ll have to go: 1 like You lots, this I want You to know. Look, now, this will be a horrible fight; Who knows, I may come to Your house tonight. Though I was not friendly to You before, I wonder, God, if You wait at Your door. Look, I’m crying! Me! Shedding tears! I wish I had known You these many years. Well, I have to go now, God; good bye. Strange, since I met you, Pm not afraid to die.—Shop Craft Digest CIGARETTE RATION CARDS BE PUT OUT Dealers Will Try To Apportion Quota Chicago, Jan. 15—The National Association of Tobacco Distributors announced today it would make cig arette ration cards available to more than 1,000,000 tobacco outlets within two weeks, for dealers to distribute to their regular customers. The rationing plans, the associa tion said, will be voluntary on the part of the dealers. The numbered cards will be punched for each pack purchased by a customer, and cus tomers will be required to sign a declaration that they hold only one card. Joseph Kolodny, executive secre tary of the association, told a press conference his organization believes the plan will prevent “raids” on dealers’ stocks “by hoarders who shop every outlet,” and will have the ultimate effect of restricting cigarette smokers to a single source of supply. tailed about 90,000, including ap proximately 40,000 soldiers captured by he Allied armies during the “Battle of the Bulge.” The remain ing 50,000, Stimson estimated, were killed or wounded.
