A sixth passenger aboard the craft,
which exploded at a dock of Weems,
Va, so miles from here, received

near tragedy in painful gasps, was
burned on his head, face, legs and
body. He was barely able to speak
above whisper.
We were on cruise down the
chesapeake Bay" he said. 1--WE had
tied up at wharf at Weems and had
Just finished filling the gas tanks with
fuel. Harry Butler was at the helm
and we were about to cast off.
THE others in the party were
seated on the after-deck. Suddenl,
. terrific explosion occurred amidships
The impact blew all of us into the all
and overheard into the water.
THE boat burst into flames. Butler
severely injured, climbed back aboard
and grabbed the fire extinguisher-
trying to put out the fire. But the
flames had gained such headway anc
Butler was so weak he was forced te
Jump back into the water.
People who saw it from the dock
said our bodies were blown here ane
there In the air. That's what it fell
like, too. The people took axes ane
cut around the fire into the bottom O
the boat, half sinking it and putting
out the flames"

and of special trains to stand shoul-

get their first assignment orders.
At their company headquarters they
stripped down to trousers and shoes
and made for the processing building.
There they gave up even their shoes
and pants and were taken over by a
group Of very silent, white coated
men who tapped on their chests,
looked down their throats and at
their teeth. made them bend and
stretch and say "ah."
Only few failed to pass the physi-

to get their outflts-leggings, hats,
shoes, SHIFTS, underwear, a raincoat,
black tie. socks and belt. The clothes
they wore to camp are carefully
checked and stored until August 6.
In spite Of the fact the boys are
asked to try on their equipment at

fits, the exit door of the processing
building lookes like q large-scale auc-

The Oldest Formula
For Friendship

Dale Carnegie, who wrote a bool,
about How to Win Friends aud
Influence People" recently sum
med it all UP in one sentence fer
those who are too busy or too lazy
to read the book.
Says Caregie:
"You can make more friends m
two months by becoming genuine
ly interested in other people than
you can in two years by trying to
get other people interested in you.
How Fight he is, There are a
million and one examples TO prove
his assertion yet we must quote
Carnegie again for the best cx-
ample of them all.
"You yourself have probably met
the greatest winner of friends that
the world has ever known" he says.
"Who is he? He's puppy. When
you meet a puppy coming down the
street, he wags his tail, and he is
so glad to see you that he almost
jumps out of his skin. And you
know that behind this show Of al
fection, there are no ulterior no
tives. He doesn't want to borrow
your coat; and he doesn't want TO
sell you a vacuum cleaner. All he
wants is the privilege of loving you.
Is it any wonder that everybody
loves a dog?"
Most of US know the truth of
these statements-but how man.
practice them? 1t would be a far
better world if we did.
If everyone became genuinely in
terested in other people, if each
one of us tried to be a friend to all
the people we know, most OF the
worlds hatreds would be ironed out
over night On such a basis Of
friendship, wars would be made i'm
possible. This thought, of course
carries the idea of extreme-but it
does show the possibilities of
friendship.

Different Ways To
Serve Cottage Cheese

Most people like plain cottage
cheese. 1t is especially pleasing
in summer, blended with ric'f
cream and a little salt, or eaten
with cream and sugar. It combines
we'll with berries, peaches or other
fresh fruits; also with canned
fruits, raisins, cut dates or other
dried fruits, brown sugar, honey,
Jam or marmalade, or chopped
nuts. Cottage cheese. Mrs. NJ. Al
berta Harris. county home demon
stration agent of Pinal county re-
minds us. is high in nutritive value.
1t contains all of the constituents
of milk except the cream. Like
milk. it is a hource of protein,
which is used to build and repair
body tissue.
Cottage cheese lends itself es-
pecially well to salads. One of the
best liked is stuffed prune salad
served on lettuce leaves with may
onnaise dressing. Dates or figs arc
sometimes used instead of prunes.
Another good salad combines cott-
age cheese and green peppers.After
removing the pulp and seeds from
green pepper, it is stuffed with
cottage cheese seasoned with salt
and pepper Chopped nuts and chop
ped red pepper may be added also
After the stuffed pepper has stood
in a cool place for an hour, it is
sliced and served on lettuce leaves.
Cottage cheese balls rolled in chop
ped nuts, served on a slice OF pine
apple, makes a refreshing salad
too.

Painting Keeps Tin
Roof In Condition

A tin roof should be painted i'm
mediately upon installation and at
least every two years thereafter.
A new galvanized sheet-metal root
should not be painted for at -eas1
six months after installation. This
conditioning will free the surface
acids which otherwise will loosen
the paint.
When a peeling roof is to be
painted, all loose paint should be
removed by thoroughly cleaning
with steel wool, sandpaper, or a
wire brush and then washing with
benzine or turpentine and wiped
dry.
