CHEVROLET RADIO PROGRAM

One of the most colorful episodes to
come out of the World War, the exc
ution of an offensive timed to
machine-like precision, the charging
of enemy machine gun nests in fog
so thick that only the at-tat-tat' of
the guns revealed their location-surg-
ing forward into rain of bullets as
thick as pellets in hail storm, pro-
misses thrill to every radio listener
when the next of the patriotic series of
air features known as the "Chevrplet
Chronicles" is heard locally over
station WMAL on Saturday, Novem-
Der Is, 1880 p. m.
AT this time Sidney G Gumpertz, of
Chicago, now Captain, but then Ser
geant of Company E, 132nd Infantry,
is scheduled to describe the events in
the Bots. de FORCES action of France
on Sept, 26, 1918, which resulted in
his being awarded the Congressional
Medal of Honor, in addition to his
sixteen other decorations for extra
ordinary valor in action.
Gumpertz saw action as a sergeant
in the company captained by George
H. Mallon who was heard in the fourth
Chevrolet Chronicle the week of
Oct rs, and of who the official citation
stated; The exceptional gallantry
and determination displayed by
Captain Mallon resulted in the capture
of 100 prisoners, IL machine guns,
four 155-milimeter howitzers, and an
ti-aircraft gum
Both men won the highest of govern
ment awards for valor in the same
offensive, Captain Mallon leading one
platoon and Sgt. Gumpertz the other,
because all the company lieutenants
had been disabled. Their drive in the
early morning hours toward the same
objective but by different routes,
through a blanketing wall of fog and
their subsequent meeting at that OBJ
iective with Sgt. Gumpertz arriving a
few minutes later than his superior,
provides one of the most thrilling
stories in the entire series and one of
the best in-sights into the character
of the typical American soldier,

many other states. In the entries
from Maryland the Holten-Scruggs

pen was also one of the eight in the
entire contest that did not have any
loss from disease. This demonstrates
the vigor and vitality of the birds in
the pen of Bolton and Scruggs.
The total eggs produced by their pen
of ten birds was 2408 and high hen
produced 279 eggs, all but one bird
was over the 220 egg mark
Mr.. Bolton and Mr.. Scruggs are to
