Victims Of Shipwreck
 Return To Wrangell With
 Details Of Bitter Experience

in the pilot house whining, too scared to go with us. There was no time to fool with them My wife and got into the life boat and started for shore. But we'd only gone q short way when the skiff swamped. We barely made it back to the big ger boat.
 "There was only one thing to do. Wait until the Cultis hit and then try and swim ashore We wrapped a jar of matches in blanket and both stood on the bow as the boat slowly drifted toward the rocks, tossing and buffeted by the waves. At last she struck. l took my wife's hand and we both jumped into the water. How We got Io shore I cant remember. I do remember that I was so tired and all in that it seem ed to me it didn't make much diff ference if we didn't make it."
 Asked if they swan, Edgecombe said he honestly didn't remember. The water between the reef and the shore was deep, I suppose we did I was hanging on to the blank ct with the precious matches wrap ped in it and helping my wife and with waves breaking over your head and pulling at you from underneath you don't think of much else but floundering toward safety. But the worst was after We felt solid ground under our feet. There was a high, rocky cliff, no beach. How we ever got up the side of that cliff I don't 1 know yet. We were tired, bruised and numb with cold. Neither my wife nor I remember going up it, but we did. We just got up on top in time to hear a loud crash and looked back and saw the boat go to pieces on the rocks. She just lifted with huge wave, came down with bang and broke in million pieces It was weird, one minute she was there and the next had dis appeared completely"
 The wind was still blowing, cutting like a knife, Edgecombe said The first thing he did was get a fire going but 1t was hard work. They had no axe and the wood was wet with snow and ice, Finally he managed to start it and they dried their clothes We were there 30 hours but the blanket nev- CT did dry out" he laughed.
 Wife Had What It Takes
 Edgecombe was proud of his wife's courage. During the after noon a boat went by and my wife took my long underwear and ran to the edge of the cliff and waved it but evidently they didn't see her, . he said. "She came back and laugh ed and told me that if we were to use my white underwear as a dis (COntinued on page fOurl

JAPPS FEEL OUT
 CHINESE IN BURMA

CHUNGklNG - In the Chinese Burma theatre Jap attacks, appar- ently of an exploratory nature a. gainst Yunnan province were re- ported. They seemed not so much as offensive attack but as defensive, designed to determine the strength and extent of Chinese forces against the possibility of a Chinese counter offensive against the old Burma road
 In western Burma minor Bri- tish withdrawal was made necessary to protect other Imperial forces which have been pressing south to- ward the Burmese port of Akyab.

0DT Manual Outlines Plan
For Auto Maintenance

A standard basic plan for the
maintenance of motor vehicles, de-
signed to give motorists and truck
owners top service at bottom cost,
is described in an eight-page service
manual published today by the
ODT.
Prepared by the Society of Auto
motive Engineers, the booklet di-
vides vehicles into nine groups,
breaks these down into IS basic
parts and divides upkeep service into
five types. Further to simplify mat
ters, a chart is provided telling
when and how to make necessary
checks and adjustments.
Pointing out that most last-min-
ute repairs can be avoided py reg
ular preventive maintenance, the
publication attempts to explain the
various repair operations so clearly
and simply that the average motor
ist can make light repairs himself,
leaving the more important work to
trained mechanics.
Copies may be obtained from CDT
headquarters here or any of its
branch Offices, or through Owl.

lMNictory GardensSs;

To insure good growth, an appli-
cation of the Victory Garden ferti-
lizer shortly after the plants are up
and another when they are two
feet high should be. sufficient in
most gardens. Use one and one-halt
to two pounds per so feet of row
per application.
Clean cultivation is necessary for
the health and good growth of corn,
but because the roots are quite
shallow, deep cultivation is apt to
be more injurious than helpful.
Sweet corn ordinarily is not
troubled by disease. The corn-ear
worm is a widespread and trouble
some pest. 1t eats the kernels at
the tips of the ears. The corn silk
may be busted with two parts lead
arsenate and one part hydrated
lime at weekly intervals from the
time it appears outside of the husks
until picking. Or a few drops of
a cheap grade of mineral oil with
the addition of dichloroethyl ether
q per cent? may be placed in the
silk of the corn.
A quarter pound of seed will plant
100 feet of row and produce four
dozen or more ears.

hard to beat and when once en-
joyed, will be looked forward to
as a treat that comes only from
the home garden. To be at its best,
it must be picked and cooked with
in the hour"
Sweet corn is another of the sum-
mer crops which cannot be safely
planted until after the first week
in April. If seed of one OF the extra
early varieties is available, that may
be used.
Golden Bantam is the standard
early variety for this area, although
Golden Sunshine is earlier. How
ever, this latter is not of as good a
quality and only a dozen hills should
be planted-just enough to fill in
until the Bantam" is ready. Col
den Cross Bantam, a higher yield
ing, sturdier hybrid, is week or
so later than Golden Bantam.
The old standby white varieties
StoWell's Evergreen and Country
Gentleman-are still good. Other
hybrids are Spancross and Mar
cross, yellow varieties. and Stow
ellis Evergreen Hybrid, white
seeded variety.
Sweet corn is usually planted in
rows feet apart, with the seed
spaced Is inches apart in the row.
Cover the seed with an inch of
soil Planting in "blocks" rather
than single row is 'preferred"
garden practice to insure good
pollination. BY planting every two
weeks from mid-April to early July,
a continuous harvest of tender ears
will be assured. Corn does not re-
main in good condition but for a
few days, so overplanting does moi
! pay.
