Life Aboard Yippee Boat
By FRANK TREMAINE United Press Staff Correspondent

United Press Staff COrreSpOndent)
 Aboard Yippee Boat in the South Pacific, Aug. 11-(DelayeO- (UP)-The YP-239 was built for tuna fishing, but she has shelied enemy positions, put raiding parties ashore, carired supplies to Guadal- canal under fire, rescued survivors of sunken ships and lowed Il dam aged war vessels to safety. She has also shot down one and perhaps two Japanese bombers.
 The incident her skipper, War rant Boatswain Walter Calhoun of Exeter, Cal, recalls most wildly was the brush with the Japanese battleship. The "yippee boat" was attempting to tow the destroyer Aaron Ward, damaged off Guadal- canal, to safety.
 We were anchored at Tulagi," Calhoun said, when we observed gunfire about 1:30 a. m. near Savo Island. At 2:30 the gunflre ceased, and at 2:40 we were ordered to search for crippled ships.
 We went in to pass towline to the Aaron Ward when we saw smoke coming over the horizon. The next thing we knew there was shrapnel all around us. It was Jap battle ship and it wasn't 8 healthy place for us.
 "Fortunately, on the Jap's first salvo his range was of, although I-s loa1 T,n Y,nyf time his range was all right but his reflection was off because we were gonef rom there."
 The yippee came back an hour later, picked up the Aaron Ward, and lowed her to the safety of Tulagi harbor.

In this group belong most cases
of cancer of the skin and of the

Most of these growths on the
skin can be removed by the X-ray
or by radium. entirely painlessly,

Report Good wheat Crop In Italy.

In spite of the war, the Italian
wheat crop this year is believed to
have been as large or even larger
than the pre-War average, according
to the Office of Foreign Agricultural
Relations of the Department of Ag-
riculture. The 1943 crop may have
amounted to as much as $50 million
bushels. That estimate compares
with unofficial estimates of 268 mil
lion bushels last year.
