YOUR ELECTRIC
IRON; JUST MAKE
1T LAST AND HOW
BY GLADYS DEGNER
SAN AP Features Writer

Your electric iron is another item
that has to last. They're not max
ing .'em any more. The materials
are being used to iron out wrinkles
on the battlefronts all over the
world.
Let's. check up to see if you're
taking good care of yours. With
proper care and use, it should serve
you for long time to come.
Do you keep it perfectly clean?
YOU can do this easily by simply
wiping it off with damp cloth
when it's COOL If necessary, re-
move starch that might have stuck
to the sole of your iron with soap
suds or a mild abrasive. Then wipe
it with a clean damp cloth Never
-never-immerse your iron in wa
ter. IS
How about the cord? If it is
detachable, roll the cord up loosely
and hang it over hook. Avoid
sharp kinks in the cord. They may
break the wires. Always disconnect
the cord at the wall outlet first.
Take hold of the plug. not the
cord, when you remove it, If your
iron has permanently attached
cord, cool the iron .before you coli
the cord around the handle.
Where do you store your iron?
Choose a convenient spot so there's
no chance OF fall when you take
it down. Dropping is more harmful
to an iron than any other hazard.
Be sure it's cool before you put
your iron away.
What about scratches? They can
be avoided by not ironing over
buttons. hooks, clippers and such.
Last, but not least, always dis

FAIR FOUL

NASHVILLE, Tenn.--This is the
true story of fowl (no pun i'm
plied) shot that proved fair:
DR.. M. M. Cullom, in golf four
some, drove a ball from a tee toward
a distant green. The spheroid did
a dive into a creek
And hit the back of large water
fowl lazing there, bounced back onto
the land and rolled to the edge of
the green.
The golfer got par three and
the fowl was fouled!

Leg Shot OFF, He
Dies Still Firing

'He was machinc-gunner
from Grand Rapids, waiting that
afternoon for a Jap attack. His
stomach was sore from lying i'm
the swamp all day, so he
turned over on his back.
Suddenly, the Japs started
yipping and yelling and firing
mortar shells. One of them landed
by this mans leg and blew IL
off.
II guess he felt only the
shock because saw him turn
over on his stomach and start
squeezing the trigger. When the
attack was over, we found him
dead. His finger was still on the
trigger"

Tells HOU Times Man
Was Killed by Jap Sniper

Pfc. Adolph pitts" Teichman
Jr, the first Detroit Times en-
.ploye killed in World War ii,
was the victim of a Jap sniper
i'm the New Guinea jungle cam
paign.
The story of his death was re-
vealed by John Walker of ST. Ig-
mace, one of the 32nd Division
returned to the United States for
medical treatment, who counted
"Teich" as one of his buddies.
"Teich had just returned from
a patrol in the Jungle" Walker
related. "He was standing in
open range of a dense group of
tall trees.
"Someone yelled: You better
duck, Teich,' and just as he
started To fall TO the ground, a
bullet got him through the head"
"Teich" was quiet guy,
Walker said, and he was well liked
by the Red Arrow Division men,
bers.
A member of the Times mailing
staff for 2l years. Pitts pursued
his work even in the jungleS.
He was always the guy TO
grab papers from home and dis
tribute them 10 the boys. He
said he didn't want to get out
OF practice.
"The boys used to call him the

ut was hell by day" said
Walker, "but the nights were
worse"
THE Americans were outpost
toned. The enemy had the
heights and we had to come up
through the marshes. They
picked us off like flies.
when IL wasn't the JapS, "
was malaria. Re quinine kept
us from going hsywire. ''
Throughout this ordeal, the
Americans retained their morale.
I'VE had good officers. Our
sergeants were second TO none.
The men were not afraid to fol-
low them because they made the
going easier"
And here he remembered the
Rev. Fr. Stephen DZieneS, a Cath
olic priest from Wyandottc, who
braved death on many occasions tC
bolster a weakened comrade.
"He heard confessions any
where, always had a good word
or story to perk up the boys.

malaria but he never COM
planned"
As far as Walker knows. Father
Dzienes is still in the South
Pacific, carrying on.
For 25-year-old Bernard Czai-
kowski of Grand Rapids, there
was action from the day 10
sighted the island until the day
he left-shell shocked and ridden
with malaria.
Jap ZerOs attacked our land
ing barges and peppered the
shOreline with machine gun bull
let's until our fiiers drove them
away" he said.
CZajkowski was a lineman al
tached TO regimental headqudr-
ters. His job was to supply food
and ammunition TO front line COM
panies, a job that kept him con-
stantly under fire.
Like the others in Billings Hos
pital he was haunted by the Jap
sniperS and their deadly aim.
He said Of Grand Rapids Sgt.
Joseph KramarZ, national guards
man radio operator. whom he
chummed with in school:
"A sniper caught him between
the eyes, one day, while he was
operating his set. We didn't see
the sniper and couldn't find him.
