Keesler Field, Miss, there's a g.
year old private who spends his
"Office hours" clOrOfOrming mos
quitOs, with a perfectly straight
face. He is Private Jacob GOtt-
hold, German-bOrn biologist who
escaped from Germany in 1885
and enlisted i'm the army this Feb
ruary after a somewhat hectic
time on ships, in college, and at
the u. S. Department of Agricul-
ture.
The army apparently considers
Private Gotthold's experiments
with mosquitoes of serious i'm
portance, for he recently was re-
moved from the Keesler Field
emunization clinic to the Station
Hospital Laboratory and ordered
to go get 'em.
GOtthOld eIuded the Nazis seven
years ago. Once out of Germany,
he contacted a New York canary
importing house where he had
formerly worked, obtaining en-
pIOyment from them aboard one
of their ships. 1t was GOtthOld's
job to feed the birds during the
tedious ocean CT ss.ng, iec. :;2g
them from getti..... se2sick nd
taking care of them le..cra-.y.
After several crossings, Gott-
hold simply got off the boat at
LIE Harve, France (still under
democratic rule at the time) and
let the crew go back to Germany
without him. Then he learned of
relatives in New York, who signed
papers permitting him to live at
his uncle's home for while.
When he got to New York he reg
istered at the nearest high school,
thereafter spending his evenings
studying English, geography, his
tory and citizenship. He took col
lege courses at night, worked for
a Danville, N. j., canary house
during the day, and eventually got
to be general manager of the
firm. After working with health
control methods and immuniza-
ton, doing research at Columbia
University and the Department of
Agriculture, and winning prize
for immunizing canaries from a
kidney ailment that he'd been kill
ing off hundreds of the infant
songsters, Gotthold enlisted in the
army. He was put to work at
Keesler Field in the immunization
clinics, administering toXoids (to
soldiers, not canar1es) but the
Medical Department soon. realized
what they had and transferred
Private Gotthold to the Station
Hospital Laboratory.

hold, you are usually informed

Jews In UNIFORM
BY BEN SAMUEL

TEN CHEESEMAN'S WILL SOON BE
WEARING KHAKI: If things work out accord
ing to schedule with the GrOssman fimily of
Pittsburgh Pa, they soon will have established
nationwide record: ten sons in service.
Mr.. and Mrs. Grossman have five boys in
uniform now, and the other five are on their
way. First of the Grossmans to go was Hynie.
He is stationed at Fort Sill, Oklahoma. His
brother Moe followed suit by joining the navy.
Right now he's at Centerline Mich. Carl and
Leonard went next to Orlando Beach, Fla, and
Hamilton Field, Calf, respectively. The most
recent Grossman contribution to the army is Saul
49, who lately left home for life in the dental
corps at Fort Custer Mich. With five more
sons about to wear Uncle Sans uniform, the
Grossmans are beginning to wonder to hang the
service flags. Pittsburgh is proud of them.

In one sector of the front a
small force of United States army

Ask Cooperation
For Ration Board

The cooperation of the public
with the rationing board IS espec-
tally important, civilian defense
officials pointed out this week.
'The men who make up the ra-
tioning board are serving without
one penny of pay of compensa-
ton. Of course it is necessary that
they be permitted to carry on
their own business duties ana
those persons who desire to make
applications for tires or gas or
sugar should go to the office OF
the rationing board and contact
the clerks rather than try to see
members of the board, person
ally"
Those who desire to make ap-
plications should get the proper
blanks and fill out the appllca-
tons in proper manner and file
the applications in the office. This
will mean quicker action than to
take up the time of these men
who are donating their services
during their own business hours,

Be More Active

1t was announced this week that
all air raid observation posts in
the Charlotte area, which includes
Ashe County, are to be activated
on about October 1912, which
means that observers will be on
duty "a hours per day for
seven days in the week. Natural

walton posts will be necessary to
man the stations without working
any hardship on any one person,
Ira T. Johnston Ashe chairman of

Ground observers will be able
to secure necessary gas for travel
for the performance of their
duties, it was explained.
1t is also expected that practice

Yesterday, Russian dispatches
reported that Soviet forces de-
Tending the southwest approaches
to Stalingrad have been forced
to retreat to a new line-the
fourth withdrawal in 48 hours
and that the peril to the vital
Volga city was mounting by the
hour.
A large Nazi armored force was
reported to have broken through
the southwest defense lines de-
spite desperate Soviet efforts to
halt it's progress.
On the front northwest of Stall
ingrad, the Nazis were again on
the move, dispatches said, and
danger of a break-through in that
region was admitted.
On the China front, Chang Kali
shek's armies are keeping hard
on the heels of the withdrawing
japanese. They are exerting a
nut-cracker movement on Japan
ese-held Kinhwa, drawing closer
from both west and south to that
