__V—Pfc. Lance Robinson writes the

following interesting letter to theChronicle from India:

I have been wanting to write aletter to you for quite some time,but we have been exceedingly busyand not a great deal of time formy correspondence. I bave receivedclippings from my mother, Mrs.George W. Robinson, of the boysin service, and I thought perhapsyou would put an article in forme. I would like my friends toknow that I still am thinking ofthem.

As you probably would like toknow, 'my address is "somewherein India" and from what 1 haveseen of the country, it is truly asamazing and mysterious as youread about in books. Although onthe surface seemingly westernized,underneath it all is the style andhabits of age old oriental customs.

We are comfortably situatedwith good food and quarters. Ofcourse everybody would trade allthat for the words, "Let's gohome." We are all looking forwardto the day when it all comes true.

We have two little monkeys hereat camp. Are they a lot of fun!

I will ring off as the lights willgo out in a few minutes .and thatmeans bedtime.

Hoping to hear from you soon.

In a letter to Ms mother, Mrs.Mary Strickland, Sgt. AveryStrickland describes Christmas asspent in Italy. He says:

'"I am fine and had a very niceChristmas. Everyone did all, inevery way possible, to give us anice Christmas and they succeededvery well. We had some very niceChristmas services, both Christmaseve and Christmas day. The armyprovided the turkey and our kit-chen did themselves proud in fixingit up for our dinner and it was adinner I shall never forget.

"The Italians celebrate Christ-mas just about the same as wedo. They are a very religious peo-ple as well as a very old race ofpeople and still retain many oldcustoms. It was a novelty to spendChristmas here.

"Cloaks are still worn a lot here.Automobiles are very scarce andcarts and buggies -are the chiefmeans of transportation." i

JESUS FEEDS THE MULTITUDES

LESSON TEXT—Mark 6:35-44; 8:1-9.GOLDEN TEXT—I am the bread of

life: he that cometh to me shall neverhunger; and he that believeth on me shallnever thirst.—John 6:35.

Hungry! That word describes thecrying need of the greater part ofthe world's population-. Men whohave vaunted themselves because oftheir ability and ingenuity havebrought the nations of the earth intosuch awful confusion that even God'sabundant provision cannot reach theneedy ones.

God is concerned about man'sphysical need just as truly .as He isabout spiritual needs. This storybrings Christianity into action on alevel that all will appreciate—theneed of food for the body. It worksthere as it does everywhere.

The supply of every need of manis God. "My God shall supply allyour need according to his riches inglory by Christ Jesus" (Phil. 4:19).Countless Christians have found itto be true that we may trust God-completely—and for everything.

The stories of the feeding of thetwo groups of people show the wrongand the right attitude toward man'sReed. In two approaches to theproblem the disciples were wrong.Then Christ showed them the rightway.

I. They Can Take Care of TheirOwn Need (6:35, 38).

"Send them away"—that was theplea of the disciples when the multi-tude of those who had followed Himbecame hungry. The people werethere because they were interestedin Christ. They had eome in a hurry(v. 33) and had not brought food.The problem was on the disciples'hands, and they sought the easiestway out. Let them shift for them-selves—"Send them away,"

The church has followed their ex-ample in dealing with the socialproblems of the people down throughthe years. The result is that beingdenied fellowship, comfort, and helpby a church which was too busybuilding up a vast organization ora beautiful order of worship, thecommon people have -respond-ed to the appeal of political leaderswho have provided a substitute forwhat the church should have giventhem.

When Jesus put upon -Riem the di-rect responsibility to feed the people,the disciples changed their "slogan"and said:

II. We Should Like to Help, butWe Cannot (6:37).

Beckoning hastily on what a smallboy had brought for his lunch (trustan alert boy to be ready!), thedisciples soon demonstrated that itwas impossible to feed this greatthrong. (See similar reasoning inMark 8:4).

Logic is such a devastating thingwhen it operates apart from faith inGod. They were absolutely right intheirireasoning and in their calcula-tions, but they had forgotten the onefactor that really counted. Jesus wasthere, and Jesus is God, and Godis cnnnipotent.

As we face the rieed of the worldnow and after the war, we wonderhow the peoples of other lands canbe fed without depriving our ownland of what it needs. * It is a greatproblem, and we ought to pray forthose who must work with it.

But let us not forget that all thatwe have comes from God, and thatHe is able ;to do "exceeding abun-dantly above all that we ask orthink" (Eph. 3:20). The Christ who-multiplied the loaves and fishes i&our Living Lord today, and ready andable to dp it again.

III. Jesus Said, "I Have Com-passion on the Multitude" (6:38-44;8:1-9).

He started right. Instead of shut-ting His heart,against the tender de-sire to help, He let His love forthe people control. Then instead ofmagnifying the difficulties, He mul-tiplied the provisions. And lo, therewas enough for all, and to spare.

"He commanded . . . and"'theydid-all eat" (vv. 39, 42). When Godspeaks, all the limitations of the finitedisappear, and the needs of men arefully met—with "twelve baskets fullof fragments" left over!

Note the orderly manner in whichour Lord met this situation. Fivethousand men, with women and chil-dren to swell the throng, were seat-ed on the grass. Jesus took theloaves and fishes and blessed them.You who forget to return thanks atthe "table, notice that quiet and mean-ingful act. Then He broke theloaves and divided the fishes. Nodoubt they were multiplied as thedisciples passed them out to thepeople.

God is able to do that very thingeven in our day. Perhaps not injust the same manner, but surelythose who serve Him have marveledas they have seen that "little ismuch when God is in it." Let thosewho labor in difficult places withlimited resources take heart—aridtrust God.

Note the care with which the frag-ments were collected for future use.It took this war to teach Americahow shamefully wasteful it has been,

VS7ATCH tassels! Tassels are the*^ big news in the trimming

realm. Any sort of a tassel, just soit's a tassel, say designers. The tas-sel or tassels that trim your hat,your belt, your handbag, your dressor your blouse may be short or long,tiny or immense. They may be ofsilken strands or cords, of danglingbeads, of wool yarn or "what haveyou" that gives a tassel look.

The belt that is tassel-embellishedis turning out to be one of the "hit"fashions of the season. Designershave now discovered that there'srhythm between the new pencil-slimsilhouette (announced as "what'swhat" in Smart "lines") and longgraceful tassels used in a trimmingway. The exquisitely ladylike pa-trician-styled dress, shown to theright in the illustration, makes afringe-tasseled belt its piece de re-sistance. Note how beautifully thisdress is tailored and stitched intolines of grace. The plain bodice andhigh neckline are a perfect back-ground for jewels. The felt cart-wheel hat is color matched to theduck green wool that fashions thedress

The attractive tassel - trimmeddress to the left is done in a finerayon weave in that very new smokegray shade that's going over bigthis season for hats, coats, dressesand furs The smartly tasseled beltis the only adornment. The hat isof velvet with butterfly feelers add-ing a pert note. The gold floral .or-nament is a floral of unusual beauty.

Milliners are showing a definiteliking for tassels. Long ones areapt to dangle from many a crownand when they do they fall to theshoulder most nonchalantly and withutmost flattery Then there are thetiny little pillboxes and the beretstiiat are curtained with tiny tassels,either silken or of jet all the way

Skirt Interest

This is a season when keen, inter-est centers around skirt design. Theskirt pictured is so smartly fash-ioned it becomes the major styletheme of the costume Note howcleverly pockets are achieved in asort of overskirt hip panel. The ma--terial lor this skirt is black and

round. This type of hat is reallyamong the show pieces in millinerydisplays.

Tassels also dangle from frogfastenings, and as lapel ornaments inconnection with applique braid nov-elties, and with jewelry pieces theyare playing an attractive role. You'llsee tassels adorning gloves andadding interest to handbags. Tas-sels are indeed having their big mo-ment in connection with smartwinter fashions.

If it isn't buttons then it's bowsthat add the touch that tells to cur-rent fashions. In the instance ofthe suit centered in the group, ul-tra chic is achieved via both buttonand bow strategy. .Buttons will bebuttons, but whe~n they are large andimportant looking and when they areplaced on the slant, as they are onthe suit pictured, they give one anew outlook on smart fashion as theydramatize the side fastening of theskirt and tbe diagonal line of thejacket

The bow treatment at the neck isas interesting as the buttons thatfasten this stylish two-piece. Thelooped satin bows are arranged soas to give a broad-shouldered lookthat will accent the slim hips byway of contrast. It didn't seem pos-sible that more bows would be seenthis season than ever, but here theyare, myriads of them, in the stylepicture. You'll see bows at beltlesswaistlines, bow-tie blouses, bows un-der the chin, some tailored, othersfluttering like huge butterfly wings.

Particularly in evidence are im-mense bows of taffeta or wide blacklace placed at the base of the lowcutsquare necklines. It's a good planto keep a stock of bows on hand.You will find several bows of wideblack velvet ribbon a real assetwhen you want to put a finishingtouch to a simple basic dress.Beteased by Western Newspaper Union.

Mittens AssumingNew Style Appeal

Besides being protective againstwinter chill, mittens are making abid for high fashion honors. You canbe very "choosy" about the mittensyou wear, for they are shown in anendless variety of decorative ef-fects. One reason is that .so manyare wearing smart knitted or cro-cheted hats and mittens to matchin the new style edict One of thecleverest types is the white yarn-knitted mitten.that has a Sag knit-ted into it. Girls who have theknack of adding clever little touchesof their own are buying plain whiteknitted mittens, embroidering atiny flag thereon. Another cleveridea is to outline the initials U.S.A.across the glove in red, white andblue The mitten knitted of stringis a fashion theme of interest. It'sa neat and utilitarian type, and veryeasy to launder Then there is themitten gaily embroidered in color-ful florals The new fluff-fleece whitemittens are the schoolgirl's delight.

Ostrich Feather StolesDuets of hat and long stole of

cocoa colored ostrich feathars, thestole about 18 inches wide and 2%yards long, are being shown. Therows of uncurled ostrich feathersare attached to a cocoa coloredband of crepe. The tiny hat is com-posed entirely of the same coloredostrich feathers. Such a twosomeis particularly ideal with dull blackdresses or with a costume of bur-gundy red, navy blue, orbrown.

Dislike of Government Rulings and Redtapew 1

Evidenced by Citizens of Midwest Community.

\ By BARROW LYONS: (EDITOR'S NOTE—This is one of a series of articles written forthis paper by Barrow Lyons, staff correspondent of Western News-paper Union. He has just completed an extended trip through thenation and in these reports gives his first-hand impressions of whatrural America is thinking as we enter the third year of war findthe first weeks of a presidential election year. Any opinions ex-pressed are the writer's and not necessarily those of this newspaper.}

PAXTON, ILL.—Dislike of Washington and all its workscould hardly be found in more concentrated form than inPaxton, Illinois, a town of 3,200 persons in the heart of thecorn belt. Only a few citizens will admit there is anythingthe New Deal has done that has helped this county seat.

1 But Ford county holds one of themost prosperous rural communitiesin Midwestern United States. Be-fore the war, in January, 1939, thedeposits in Paxton's two banks to-taled $1,631,000; but today they sumup to $4,532,000, an increase of 178per cent in\four years. Paxton isone of the most conservative placesin conservative 'Illinois, which Wen-dell Willkie has called "the blackestspot on my map." Paxton spurnsWillkie as ''nothing but a New Deal-er."

Clothing merchants in Paxtonare making more money thanat any time since the boom daysof the '20s. A farmer recently

: calculating his income tax fig-ured he had made a clear profitbefore taxes of more than $20,-000 in this crop year on a grossincome of $27,000—and he hadn'tsold his 1943 corn Crop yet. Mostof his income was realized onlast year's corn he had held.

So easy is it for shops to sellwhat merchandise they can get thatadvertising is at .a minimum. Nev-ertheless, Paxton boasts both a dailyand weekly newspaper. The PaxtonDaily Record, a four-page paper,sells enough advertising space tobreak about even; but the PaxtonRecord, a weekly, makes money inspite of the fact that national auto-motive advertising has virtually dis-appeared, and the oil companiesbuy only about one-tenth of thespace they used to take.

Publisher Looks AheadTo.Postwar Years

Herbert N. Stevens, joint ownerwith his brother, Harold H. Stevens,of the Paxton newspapers and print-ing .shop, says they are runningtheir plant now with 13 employeesinstead of the customary 20. ButMr. Stevens is certain that after thewar good times for the printer will

return, because there will be salesadvertising as never seen before.No depression is in sight for theimmediate postwar years. Mr, Ste-vens is sure—so he has just ordereda new press to be delivered whenpeace arrives. He also feels confi-dent that the New Deal regime willbe a thing of the past 'then. Heexplained:

"Ford County has had about asmuch of Washington as it can stand.I wouldn't say Paxton was just Re-publican. There are some Repub-licans around here who have votedfor Roosevelt, you know. Party des-ignations are losing significance. Weare just as anti-Willkie as we areanti-Roosevelt. We think he's noth-ing but a New Dealer.

"When the boys come back fromthe war you're going to find thegreatest bunch of rugged individual-ists you ever saw.' We talk to everyboy who Comes back on furlough.They can't understand why the gov-ernment tolerates this strike andslow-down business."

Mr. Stevens can't understand whythe government should want 35 mil-lion dollars to advertise to get peo-

Michigan Mirror

pie back on the farm, while theUnited States Employment Serviceis advertising in his newspapers formen on the farm to work in warindustries. Nor can he see why thesoy bean processing factory in Gib-son City, 15 miles away, can't getall the soy beans it can handle, be-cause the Commodity Credit corpo-ration directs locally grown beans tocotton ginning, mi|ls in Tennessee,despite the fact that the soy beancake left after pressing out the oil isshipped back to Paxton for cattlefeed. These are the things thathave turned Paxton people againstthe New Deal. Mr. Stevens ex-presses' vocally what many othersfeel.

Incidentally, it should be notedthat there is not a labor union officein Ford county and the farmers arestrongly anti-labor. In the last elec-tion the Republicans scored aboutfive votes to every two Democraticvotes, the latter coming mostly fromrailway workers, a iew craftsmenand some tenant farmers.

Carl Shelby, Paxton's grain deal-er, gave the clearest summary toPaxton's viewpoint He is a busi-ness man, but his, trade concernsthe farmer's welfare most closely.

'Too Much Regulation'From Washington

"The thing that bothers us mostis that there is too much regulation.The farm program has a tendencyto tell the farmer exactly what hecan do—and that applies prettymuch to the business man too. Theseregulations were put on when timeswere hard and prices low, and con-ditions were benefited by regulation.There seems to be no tendency todrop them' when times show im-provement. .The men in Washing-ton made their program so that aman was penalized if he didn't goalong with it. He was almost forcedto follow to be in good standingwith his neighbors.

"In the grain business we wereforced to take whatever the Com-modity Credit corporation allowedus to handle, do what they orderedus to do and wait until they gotgood and ready to pay us for thatservice. When a fellow is used todoing what he likes, and then some-one comes along and tells him whathe has to do—well, that gets underthe skin.

"What we liked about the old freecompetition system was that fore-sight and intelligence were worthsomething. You might lose moneyin hard times, but you were allowedto make it in good times, and if youdidn't waste it you generally cameout all right in the long run. Nowthey don't let us make money whentimes are good, and they can't giveus any assurance that times will al-ways be good. If they could do thatwe wouldn't mind giving up some*freedom.

"When you once start trying tocontrol economic conditions youhave to slap ;on more and morecontrols to cover the situations youcouldn't foresee, and the thinggrows and grows. That's the direc-tion the New Deal seems to beheaded in now, and most of usaround here think it's time to .call ahalt and go in the other directionfor a while."

Concluded irom page A.me to do, rather than do nothing.The answer was, 'You are beingpaid, aren't you?'

"I found two hundred men andwomen in the plant in about thesame situation. I could not standit any longer, so I am leaving."

* # *(2) My small business has been

curtailed by war conditions, Ifound I had time on my hands. Ifelt I should be doing somethingin the war effort, and besides Icould use the money very conven-iently because of reduced income.

"So I sought employment in awar industry near my home. Iam a pretty good mechanic andhoped to get a chance to operatea machine, so I went to work as ahelper.

"On an eight-hour shift, I couldmanage to keep doing somethingfor an hour and a half. Then therewas absolutely nothing for a fewjhours; then about twenty minutesof honest work that I had to try,to make last the rest of the turn.

"Everybody in the shop was kill-ing time the same way. I stood itas long as I could and quit."

* * *In a few months our American

troops, forming a majority of • Al-lied Nation forces, will launch thecrucial assault upon Hitler's forti-fied Europe.

Of course, we expect these inva-sions will succeed. Competent mili-tary authorities warn us, however,the price will be high in lives.Many thousands will be wounded.Who will pay _this price? Will itbe your son or perhaps his buddy?Think it over. x

The war manpower commissionhas bluntly' told Muskegon that ad-ditional labor is not needed there;that the production job could beaccomplished by workers who .arealready on payrolls; that landingboat parts are urgently needed—today!

In the failure of labor and man-agement to do their duty under ourpresent voluntary system that wesentimentally call "private initia-

tive", the "American system" and"free labor", labor and manage-ment are recklessly sowing theseeds of fascism.

Men in the military services—and there are millions of them, re-member—will not forget this-treason at the hour of nationalcrisis. Surely, today's greed is go-ing to be costly tomorrow. Here isa field awaiting the demagogue, aninvitation to iron dictatorship it-self.

The moral in the Michigan

newspaper's courageous appraisalis clear. American labor andmanagement must not put privateprofit ahead of the lives of ourAmerican sons and fathers. If theyfail to do their duty today, theywill evitably lose their freedomtomorrow!

MorePlans to Give

' WASHINGTON. — The United• States navy has now perfected one.of the greatest tactical reorganiza-:tions in its history in order to bringmassive air striking power againstJapanese sea forces and air defend-ed island positions in the Pacific.

It is completion of this reorgani-zation, as well as the launching of.17 battle type aircraft carriers andhundreds of other ships in the lasttwo years, which enabled Admiral•Chester W. Nimitz, Pacific fleetchief, to say this week with full con--fidence of victory that "our time-has come to attack."

A ranking naval leader said that"just about all our ships in the Pa-

.cific, except the submarines, have•been grouped around aircraft car-riers, and the organization makessuch a formidable force that when Isaw it, and the fighting spirit of themen in it, I almost felt sorry forthe Japs."

Began Before Pearl Harbor.The initial problem of this massed

force is twofold:To clear the Japanese out of key

island positions, and, if possible, tocreate an opportunity to engage anddestroy the enemy fleet. How soonthe latter stroke can be delivereddepends, of course, on when the Jap-enese are willing to come out andfight.

^Reorganization of the Pacific fleetaround carriers began tentatively be-fore the enemy attack on Pearl Har-bor. At that time the United Stateshad seven carriers and several in-dividual carrier task forces. Thebattleship remained the backbone ofthe fleet, and the tactical conceptwas that in any engagement it woulddeliver the knockout punch.

Paralysis of the battle line result-ing from the Pearl Harbor bombingautomatically forced the carriersinto the fighting role of paramountimportance.

Subsequently, Rear Admiral JohnH. Towers, then chief of the.bureauof aeronautics, was assigned to Ad-miral Nimitz' staff with the rank ofvice admiral and later his succes-sor, Rear Admiral John S. McCain,was elevated to the new post of dep-uty chief of naval operations forair, with the rank of vice admiral.

All down the line battle-testednaval airmen have been promoted.Successful task force leaders havebeen given important new assign-ments. The concept of naval actionhas been reworked to fit the strate-gic requirements of Pacific fightingand the role of shipborne airplanes.

Carrier Is Capital Ship.Now, at least for the time being,

the aircraft carrier has usurped therole of capital ship, both because ofthe job to be done against enemyisland air bases and the fact thatwhereas the battleship can destroya target 20 miles away, the carrier'splanes can reach out 200 miles.

^he basic principle, however, re-anains the same: that is, to use-striking po\ver in masses against ma-jor objectives rather than fritter it.away in driblets.

This is what posed the technicalproblems in the reorganization. Thetask force of 10 big carriers, for

• example, with its attendant battle-• ships, cruisers, and destroyers, cov-ers many square miles of ocean! It

. can put into the air at one time 800<or more planes.

The task of controlling these-.planes—fighters, dive bombers, and-.torpedo bombers — is enormouslycomplex, and many months of workand experiment were required toperfect thj methods now in use.

These methods were tried out fullyin the big raid on Marcus Island inSeptember. They were later .usedin the assault on Wake Island andin the attacks on Nauru and Tarawa.Currently they are credited with pro-ducing the successful results ob-tained by carrier planes during thelast two weeks in the Rabaul-Bou-gainville area, where heavy damagehas been inflicted on the Japs withSmall cost to American forces.

They say there is a manpowershortage in Michigan.

Sure, didn't you read about it inthe papers?

Then read this story about Mus-kegon. The waste of manpower inMuskegon war industries has he-come so disgraceful the town'sdaily newspaper, the> MuskegonChronicle, pronounces it to be "rot-ten" and worthy of the word "sa-botage."

Freedom of the press still existsin the United States.

And newspaper editors are stillexpressing their convictions can-didly for what they are worth. Inthe case of the Chronicle the news-paper's verdict cannot be inter-preted as "anti-labor" for severalreasons.

First, the newspaper employsunion printers who have enjoyedcontractual relations with - theChronicle and previous daily pa-pers for 57 consecutive years.Second, the newspaper concludesthat Muskegon's waste of man-power, scandalous in its propor-tions, is a joint responsibility oflabor and management and that"both sides . . . invited what is hap-pening."

Proof of this joint responsibilityis presented by the newspaper inthe following cases, both of whichare vouched for as authentic. Wequote:

(1) "I am leaving Muskegon al-though it is rny home and I wantto stay here. I have recently beenhonorably discharged from thenavy after two years' service. Iwanted to do my part on the homefront.

"I applied for work at the officeof an industry where it seemedmy previus experience would be ofvalue. I was employed and as-signed to a desk. I sat there fornine days without a thing to do. Iprotested I would sweep floors, ifthey did not have anything elso for

Slot MachinesNow Go to War

Profits Go to Special FundInstead of Pockets of

Night-Club Owners.

A FIGHTER-TRAINER BASE INNORTH AFRICA.—Have you heardthe story. of the three one-armedbandits? Well, they're in the armynow—three mechanical Robin Hoodswho still rob everybody who comestheir way, but the dough goes backto the. guys in uniform.

The "bandits" are three slot ma-chines which back in 1942 wereemptying the pockets of a group ofsoldiers in Waycross, Ga., who werebeing conditioned before going over-seas as part of the 12th Air Forceservice command.

There were so many slot machinesin the fun spots of Waycross thatthe good citizens decided they hadbecome a threat to the morals oftheir soldier guests. SQ a group pe-titioned the sheriff to step in, and themachines were confiscated and tak-en out of circulation.

Visitor Gets Bandits.But shortly afterward the sheriff

received a visitor—an army officer.His request was brief, but apparent-ly eloquent* for a few days later onedime and two nickel slot machineswere doing a landslide business inthe pbst exchange at the nearbyarmy base.

Instead of lining the pockets ofnight-club owners, however, the prof-its went into a special fund for thesoldiers. Within a short time themachines had purchased a washingmachine, an,electric iron and manyother conveniences not consideredbasic army equipment.

Then the men were sent overseasto North Africa. Along with themwent the three slot machines, packedin innocent-looking crates. Forweeks they provided entertainmentfor the troops and profits for the or-ganizational fund, but- when the Ger-mans made their break through atKasserine pass the service com-mand unit was called upon to movehurriedly and the. coin grabberswere left behind with another outfit.

Turn Up in Officers' Club.Now they have turned up in the

officers' club of a unit training fight-er pilots.

Mess officer of the unit is Lieut.James Cooper of Birmingham, Ala.,who once was a high.school footballstar and who surrounds pilots in hisoutfit with one of the most ornateclubs in the North African* theater.

The three hard-working little slotmachines have paid for it all—thecherry wood bar, the handsomebrown leather chairs, deep-piledhush-hush rugs arid even the cardtable. They also have eliminated theneed of mess fees for the officers andhelp buy many little "extras" forthe enlisted men.

"A scarcity of nickels and dimeshampered operations for a while,"Lieut. Cooper explained, "but thatwas remedied. One of the fellowsturned up one day with some metaldiscs he had made. From then onthe slot machine business boomed,and our profits have been tremen-dous."

The "tak,e" from the three ma-chines was approximately $150 a dayand the monthly net is close to $5,000.All of it goes for those little extrasthat make the difference between sat-isfied and "very.satisfied" soldiers.

Marines' Pet Terrier PupDies a Traffic Victim

SOMEWHERE IN THE SOUTHPACIFIC.—Little black "Zombie"met death recently, thousands ofmiles from his native North Caro-lina.

They'll never find a dog to replacehim in the hearts of marines at thisoutpost.

"Zombie" was a tiny terrier pupwhen he joined the leathernecks ayear ago in Kingston, N. C. Twomarines on liberty swapped a roost-er for him.

He was smuggled aboard a trooptransport in a knapsack but soon re-ceived run of the ship. The ma-rines considered Zombie "just oneof the boys."

He died a traffic victim, snappingat the wheel of a big gun.

'Tough War, Ain't It/Sold:er's Reply to Dun

PEORIA, ILL.—An army sergeantfrom Peoria brought up a local lawfirm with a jerk when he answeredits letter attempting to collect a billhe owed to a local store.

"As attorneys," he wrote, "I ammost certain you are acquaintedwith some not-too-ancient legislationsuspending pre-war debts of serv-icemen for the duration and six. Ithink this does not exclude the(blank) store. But, if I'm wrong,sue me.

"Very truly yours," he signed themissive, then added a postscript—"Tough war, ain't it, pal?"

BOWLINGBy G. W. Landon, Sec. ol League.

No changes were made in thestandings of the leading teamsduring the week but the Knobletfive managed to hold on to the topplace by winning two out of theirthree games from Ludlow's. Onegame was won by the narrow mar-gin of one pin. They should meettougher opposition in their nextthree games when they take on thePinney keglers.

The secretary of the league hasbeen absorbing considerable rib-bing from a certain few of his as-sociate pinsters, because of apoorly bowled game in his last se-ries against the "Chuck" Autenteam, but like a champion, he rap-idly- recovered to roll 236 in hisnext game, which is the highestsingle game score in this schedule.

Parsch, Milligan and Retherforddropped out of the first ten highindividual bowlers' list and werereplaced by M. Auten, Starmann iand C. Auten. Howard Wooley ex-hibited the best bowling of theweek as he rang up a three-gametotal of 582 pins with a high gameof 225, Games of 200 or over are
