Machine-gunned by the Germans, Pvt. Charles Whittier, 21, Augnsta, Me., smiles because War Bond funds have helped his recovery from a fractured tibia and fibia.

Landing in a field under Nazi mortar and machine gun fire, he was hit instantly and then removed to an overseas hospital and finally to Halloran General Hospital at Staten Island, N. Y.

From a shallow shell hole he killed 10 of the enemy and littered the field with writhing wounded, in a hopeless stand before a machine gun burst ended his fighting.

GI PRISONERS OF WAR WED TURKISH GIPLS Yokohama, Japan, Sept. 9.—An amazing story of the courtship of three American prisoners of war with three Turkish girls behind the backs of Japanese guards was re vealed today as the three brides hopefully awaited transportation to the United States with their hus bands. Zane Allen Strickel, San Francis co, one of the men, all Californians, explained that they had met the girls, who spoke English fluently, while they were civilians working for the navy at Guam. They were cap tured in December 1941 and intern ed in the Kobe civilian camp. “The girls, being Turkish, were not interned,” he said. “The ration dump where we all got food was just four doors from our camp and we met the girls when they came for food. They smuggled black market food to us. To meet them, we climb ed the prison camp fence. “We were married (after the war ended) by a Turkish priest at an elaborate ceremony arranged by the girls’ relatives. The brides were able to buy material for wedding dresses for 10 pounds of sugar and 100 yen. HILL SELECTION OF SWEET POTATO SEED All farmers do not hill selection of sweet potatoes as yet. ... We shall never have the best potatoes possible, where the farmer saves his own seed from year to year until more selec tion is done! It’s very simple according to Hugh Bowers, Clemson Horticulturist. Hill selection is just that you select seed from the hills producing three or more number one potatoes . . . And you keep the number ones for next year’s seed. . . . The size isn’t all you look for in selecting seed either. Outside, you look for good copper- colored skin and good shape. . . And then you have to select for inside color too—a good deep orange flesh color that runs thru the potato. . . . How to check that? You cut off or notch both the stem and root ends to see if this deep orange flesh color runs thru-out. It may be impossible for you farm ers to do hill selection for all your seed stock, but you can do enough for your foundation stock next year!. . . The notching or end cutting neces sary in selecting seed potatoes should be done at digging time so the cut surface will heal over. If you farmers do hill selection each year you can keep your seed bred up just as good as any of the seed breeders—for that’s how they do it! ENRICHING CORN MEAL According to nutritionists thou sands of our people do not have a ;ood diet!. . . It is deficient in min. erals and vitamins and still leans much toward corn meal. . . molas ses and fat back class—despite the work that’s been done to improve this situation. You’ve heard about and no doubt are familiar with the enrichment program in South Carolina. The en. richment of white flour is complete ly by law! White flour is enriched by putting back the minerals and vit amins that were taken out when it was ground into white flour. Many corn millers are going a step farther and are enriching corn meal to bring its mineral and vitamin con tent up to that of whole wheat or en riched flour. This is a fine thing—a far reaching step to give those of us who eat corn meal a more nutritious product. Dr. E. J. Lease, of the Clemson Experiment Station, says as of Sep tember 1st, 103 mills in the state are equipped to enrich corn meal. Per haps you’d like to know the mills that are enriching corn meal in New. berry County. . . There are 3 of them and here are their names: Spartan Grain and Milling Co.; New berry Mill and Distributing Co. and T. H. Kunkle.

The occasion will be an all day pro gram with preaching services in the morning at eleven o’clock and ad dresses in the afternoon beginning at two-thirty o’clock. Rev. W. D. Haltiwanger, supply pastor, will pre side. A fellowship dinner will be served on the church grounds at the noon hour. Mount Olivet was one of the Lu theran churches in Newberry coun ty that was hard hit by the back wa ters of Lake Murray. A large num ber of substantial citizens who were members of this little church were forced to change their residence to othe reommunities and their church membership to other churches. The membership at present is compara tively small but the remaining mem bers are interested and active. A movement is on foot to remodel the church building and build adequate Sunday school rooms to meet the pre sent needs. The outlook for the growth of the congregation is very promising and steps are being taken to make the organization a perma nent influence for generations to come. Former members, former pastors and the public generally are invited to attend this homecoming celebra tion. CAUTIOUS USE OF DDT IS ADVISED Candy stripes of clear red on white repeat the style lines of this cool sports dress. Many sun-loving dresses may be found in the pat tern catalogs at local stores. Econ omy-wise home sewers save for War Bonds by sewing. # U. S. Treasury Department Clemson Entomologist Offers Suggestions As To Nec essary Prevention CLEMSON, Sept.16.—^Certain cai tions regarding the use of DDT ai sounded by W. C. Nettles, Clemsc extension entomologist. Research is still in progress re garding DDT, a war-developed in sect control material used success fully by the armed forces and pub lic health agencies, Mr. Nettles ex plains. Previous use has been under the direction of trained personnel and in formulas for a particular pur pose. It is not a cure-all for insect problems. RIGHT FORMULA IMPORTANT Make sure you have the right for mula for the right use and that you use it in the right place. Nettles ad vises. This will prevent many dis appointments. Remember that DDT acts more slowly in killing some insects than other poisons; however, one appli cation lasts for weeks for some household insects. DDT may not be as poisonous to men and domesticated animals as some of the insecticides now in use but it shculd be used caustiously. In oil solutions it is absorbed readily through the skin of man and ani mals, so it is well to avoid repeated or prolonged exposure to such solu tions and to wash it off the skin with soap and water. Avoid also breathing spray or dust; avoid resi dues on fruits or vegetables and on feed. DDT is very poisonous to fish and cold-blooded animals. FIRE HAZARD WARNING Kerosene solutions of DDT may become a fire hazard and prove in jurious to plant sand animals. DDT properly prepared has not been especially injurious to most plants. Much information is needed with respect to soil damage, effects on wildlife, and beneficial insect spe cies including the honeybee. As a wall spray a coarse spray rather than a mist is desired. Screen* to doors and porches may be cover ed with a paint brush. Some formu lations of DDT will leave a visible residue and may damage painted sur faces. Mrs. R. L. Tarrant and daughter, Mrs. May Stuck, spent Sunday in Columbia with Mrs. Nat Gist and Mrs. Lawrence Spearman, who rec ently moved into her new home at 1019 Poinsette Drive.
