After recovering from shrapnel wounds. Marine PFC Russell
Halsey, 21, Roselle Park, N. J., returned to action in the
Tinian Islands, shot a Jap sniper but sustained a broken hip
in the action. Twice War Bond funds have helped restore
him to health, and Bonds bought and held are healing hjm-
dreds of other service men’s wounds.
Marine Sgt. Don Baird, Monmouth,
III., smiles because War Bonds bought
and held at home speeded his recovery
from arm wounds suffered in an attack
across a dummy flight strip at Saipan.
A Jap 77 field piece hit him.
During beaching operations on a Pacific island, an LST struck a mine and Milton H. Fox, Mo.
M. M., 1/C, 22, Sandusky, Ohio, sustained multiple fracture of both legs. War Bonds invested in
and held by folks at home have helped provide treatments that encourage him to look to the day
when he will walk normally again. More invasions are being added almost daily in that area
with more and more casualties, men who need all the treatment Bonds can supply.

Now is the time to think about
your sweet potato patch.
Select a fertile, melow, sandy loam
soil with natural drainage. Mellow
piece of cotton land, making • a bale
per acre, is good sweet potato land.
If you have not already prepared
your land, do so immediately. Lay
off rows 3 1-2 to 4 feet apart; apply
800 to 1000 pounds of 3-9-9 fertili
zer per acre. Mix fertilizer thor
oughly with soil before bedding.
Make a bed from 10 to 14 inches
high, because high beds will increase
your yield.
If the root end of the plant ;or
sprout is cut off, it will make a po
tato resembling a vine cutting potato.
Some growers cut off plants even
with the ground and set out this
part of the plant.
When plants begin to grow off,
give them an application of nitrate
of soda—about 75 pounds per acre—
in order to make them grow off
quickly and produce early vine cut
tings.

Here’s another thing a monk won’t
The family mending pile disap
pears much more rapidly when mend
ing is done by machine rather than
by hand. Machine-made and patches '
are generally stronger and jnore
durable than made by hand but are
more conspicuous and not so soft.
Machine darning is recommended
for holes, tears and thin places in
towels, sheets aprons, overalls,
children’s play clothes, plain under
wear, men’s shirts, and women’s
house dresses. Hand darning is pre
ferable, however, for fine garments
and hosiery.
To darn by machine use fine mer
cerized or cotton thread which
matches the color of the garment, or
better, is slightly darker. Adjust
the length of the stitch to suit the
cloth. The finer the weave, the
shorter the stitch.
Loosen the thumbscrew on top of
the machine to release the pressure
oh the presser foot enough so the
cloth can be pushed back and forth
when stitching. Stitch across the
place to be darned, pulling the ma
terial slowly backward and forward,
and from side to side with both
hands. Follow the grain of the ma
terial, or stitch on the diagnnal if
the fabric has a twill weave. To hold
the cloth smooth during darning, and
embroidery hoop may be used, or tis
sue paper may be basted underneath.
The paper will wash out when the
garment is laundered.
A darn will be stronger if it is re
inforced underneath. Baste, a soft or
thin piece of fabric of a matching
color under the place to be darned
before putting it in the machine.
Patches like darns are more quick
ly made and sturdier if machine-
stitched instead of hand-stitched but
they show more, so they are best
suited to men’s overalls and work
shirts, children’s play clothes and
other garments where durbility
counts more thn appearance.
MURPH-CORLEY
Captain Charles B. Corley, Jr. of .
Newberry, and Miss Barbara Murph, I
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Harold i

The bride was given in marriage
by her father- She was lovely in a
gown of white satin fashioned with
lace yoke trimmed with seed pearls,
long sleeves with points over the
hands and a full skirt with panel
front and a long train. Her finger
tip length veil was caught in a tiara
of seed pearls. Adding a bit of sen
timent to her costume were a hand
some cameo necklace brought to her
from Italy by the bridegrom; a white
lace handkerchief carried by Tier
mother at her wedding, and the tra
ditional six-pepce which she wore in
her shoe. An orchid with sweet peas
topped the white bible, which she
carried.
The bride is a popular young
Wighitan, prominent in music and
social circles. She attended Hardin
College and Southern Methodist Uni
versity, Dallas, affiliating with Del
ta Delta Soroirty while in the latter

the Army Air Forces in March, 1943.
He received his wings at Ellington

recently returned to this country af
ter nine months’ service with the
15th AAF in Italy. He completed
50 missions in the Meditenanean
area, and is wearer of the Distin-
Said one to the others, “Now listen,
■ you two—
There’s a certain rumor that can’t
be true,
That man descended from our. noble
race.
Why, the very idea! It’s a dire dis
grace!
No monkey ever deserted his wife.
Starved her baby or ruined her life.
And you’ve never known a mother
monk
To leave her young with others to
. bunk
Till they scarcely knew their mother.
And another thing you’ll never see—
A monk build a fence around a co-
coanut tree
And let the cocoa nuts go to waste
Forbidding all other monks a taste,
do;
Go out at night and get on a stew;
Or use a gun or a club or a knife
To take some other monkey’s life.
Yes, man descended, the onery cuss,
But brother, he didn’t descend from
us.
