THANK YOU

who makes these cookies?"
asked serviceman Friday night at
the canteen.
The cantecn hostess explained
that they were the gifts of various
women of the city who supply the
cookies for the canteen.
They sure are swell When you
see those women, you be sure to
say thanks you for us instruct
ed the boy, appreciatively.
Sc here is his thank you" and
those for all the men who come in
daily to the canteen and enjoy the
delectable cookies.
1t is the hostesses rather than
the cookie-makers who hear the
praise and the gratitude of the
men, and there is no doubt but
what the work of baking the sweets
would be more than repaid if they
watched the men consume their
cookies.
I'VE sure like this town." said a
newcomer Friday night. They're
SO friendly Iare. mere we came
from they treat soldier like dirt, "
naming a city not so far north.
we sure were glad To get away
from there"
His friend nodded agreement
leaving the hOStcSSes somewhat baf-
fled that any community should
have that attitude with their own
sons, husbands, brothers in the
service, too.
GIFT TO CANTEEN
The Ell Centro canteen unit is
the. richer by a gift of $50.53 pre-
sented recently by a committee
composed of w. C. Costello and
Robert w. Hatton, representing a
group of citizens who some six
months ago subscribed money for
going away celebrations fer men
called into the service.
Since the government rather dis
couraged this program and the mon
ey was on hand, doing no good, it
was decided to give it to the cam
teen. where a serviceman would
benefit by it. That fund will be
used by the canteen unit fer some
special services for tho men which
the unit would be unable otherwise
to provide, the gift being a most
welcome one and accepted grateful
iy for the men by the cantcen board

ARK, when he reached their island
after 70 hours adrift in life Jacket.
But, after what the bomber pilot
had been through in the air and

scarcely could see to admire them
Ensign Carroum's bomber fell

g For size, Tiny probably is one of
the Navy's smallest pilots. He bare

courage he has proved himself
among the best.
After the long, watery struggle
Tor life, Tiny finally found South
Sea Garden of Eden within the war
zone to reward himself somewhat
for scoring direct hit on a large
japanese transport in the. Novem-
Der 1915 battle of Guadalcanal.
(The transport subsequently sank.)
He was forced to abandon his
plane after it was hit by the anti
aircraft at fire of an enemy cruiser,

dropped into the ocean from 100
feet up when the engine quit. Tiny
didn't have time to drop his landing

dim outline OF an island about 80
miles away. He now headed for it.
In the ensuing battle with contrary
currents, Tiny went unconscious for
several hours at time.
Every fish seemed like a shark to
him: he had Nightmares: he'd wake

almost reached land time and again

Gillette Would Build

Holds Moss Production
Of Armed Corvettes Is
Tanker Loss Solution
rS the Associated Press,

ry the Associated Press.
Quick production of scores of Ses

Coast merchant vessels was advo.
Gated today by Senator Gillette
Democrat, of Iowa as the best i'm
mediate answer to Axis submarine
warfare.
Senator Gillette is chairman of 6
naval affairs subcommittee that re.
Gently reported the Sea Otter ia

gasoline engines and adaptable to
assembly production-had not
been given sympathetic" trials
He said he and other members be-
lieved vessels of this type might be
converted into corvettes which could
guard the tankers bringing oil to
East Coast States.
Cites Trans Atlantic System.
Pointing to the success of the
convoy system in transporting mill
tary equipment and supplies to
Britain and Russia, the Iowa Sena-
tor said it was reasonable to assume
that similar protection would re-
duce or nullify the submarine men
ace to coastal shipping.
Senator Brooks, Republican, of
Illinois yesterday urged establish
ment of an armed civilian air patrol
to cover shipping in the 50-mile
zone along the Atlantic coast and
said that the Government had an
nounced the loss of 131 vessels in
this area since the United States
entered the war.
Without disparaging Senator
Brooks suggestion, Senator Gillette
said he thought conveys might pro-
vide the immediate answer to the
submarine attacks. If the speed
of the Sea Otter could be increased
and offensive installations made, he
said many such vessels could be
turned out hurriedly with little in
reference with the regular ship
construction program.
In addition, he said, the Sea Otter
might be adaptable to conversion
into tankerS.
The Sea Otter II was built orig
inally under President Roosevelt's s
orders as a cargo ship, with q
vertical-shape propeller receiving
power from a bank of gasoline
engines. Proponents said it could
be built much more swiftly and
would cost far less than the stand
ard type of vessel, but Secretary of
the Navy Knox announced that
trials of the full-scale model had
been unsatisfactory.
Bryan Transfer Reported.
Senator Gillette said Naval Affairs
Subcommittee members has been
assured that steps were being taken
under competent supervision" to
redesign the Sea Otter, despite re-
ports in other congressional quarters
that the Navy had transferred
Comdr. Hamilton Bryan, inventor of
the craft, away from Washington.
Comdr. Bryan had been COOP
Grating with Weaver Associates, Inc,
local marine architects who were
operating under a lease-lend con-
tract, in redesigning the craft. War
Production Board officials subse-
quently were reported to have be-
come interested and there were in
dications that construction of a new
model would be carried out under
supervision of the w. p. B., the Navy

RACOON TO BE RELEASED

The Ohio Division of Conserva-
tion and Natural Resources will re-
lease 1900 racoon this year, Com
missioner Don Waters announced to-
day. The releasing of coon has al
ready begun in some localities. All
these racoon are tagged and they
are put out at this time so that they
can become adjusted to their new
homes prior to the squirrel season.
1t is hoped that squirrel hunters
will use caution and not disturb
these young coon. The coon being re-
leased this year are healthy and
husky bunch. Raising racoon at the
Milan Coon Farm is a complicated
task. When the cubs are about three
months old, the mothers are removed
from the pens and the job of teach
ing the young to forage for them
selves is started. Indentification
tags are placed on the ears of the
youngsters and the pack is sent to
what is known as the hardening
field This is partially wooded
tract on which strips of alfalfa, corn,
wheat and soy beans have been
planted. The idea is to give the kits
chance to learn how to climb trees
and to obtain food before they are
released throughout the state. When
the cubs are six months old and
average about II pounds, they are
ready for distribution They are
sent to every county of the state to
be released by game protectors and
sportsmen's clubs. The indentifi-
cation tags on their ears have been
placed there SO that Conservation
Division men can determine how far
they travel from the point of release.
The males do most of the wandering,
sometimes as far as nine miles. The
females, on the other hand, usually
travel little more than a mile.
