Il In His Absence

Coming home to Washington was
hrand-new experience for Second
1t, John H. Jackson. recently re-
turned from the Mediterranean
theater Of action where he partici-
pated in numerous bombing attacks
on Gen. Rommel's Afrika Korps
and helped bomb the Germans out
of Sicily.
Returning to Washington was
strange for when the young officer
left home to be inducted shortly
before Christmas, 1941, his family
resided at Corning, N. Y, and he
was student at Cortland State
Teachers College. Mr. and Mrs.
j. K. jackson moved to this city
when the father accepted position
with the Naval Research Labora-
tory. They now live at 1852 Second
street Sc.
1t. Jackson flew across the At
lantic to Cairo, Egypt, in a medium
bomber and almost Immediately
was assigned to the famed Earth
quakes" of the 9th Air Force. The
'Quakes won their name by pock-
marking every enemy target within
flying distance and hanging up one
of the finest bombing records made
in the war. 1t. Jackson was navi-
gator and bombardier of his ship.
Bombed Sicily.
Most of the time his wing was
busy bouncing enemy ground troops
out of positions ahead of advancing
Allied forces, but they also went on
numerous forays against towns,
docks and military installations over
Sicily when the Allies were begin
ming to move into that island
Neither the lieutenant nor his mates
liked bombing towns because of the
helplessness of the civilians. They
walked through one town they had
bombed and found it an unnerving
experience.
Probably their pleasantest raid was
q hight over Pantelleria on which
they bombed" the citizens with
propaganda pamphlets. The tiny
island fell the next day.
One of 1t. Jackson's most unpleas-
ant experiences was getting lost off
the Italian mainland and coming al
most within sight of Naples before
getting back in the right air lane.
His buddies weren't worried, espe-
cially the pilot, who had been lost

Does He Think You're
Lying About Your Age...

You see, Lady Esther Face Powder
isn't just mixed, just sifted. It's blotDn
by Twin Hurricanes - blended with
the speed and power Of hurricanes -
to look clearer, smoother, more fat
tering on your skin!
Because of this exclusive method
of hurricane blending, the texture
of Lady Esther Powder is much
smoother and finer than ordinary
powder. The first touch of your puff
spreads a delicate film of beauty on
your skin, hiding little lines, little
blemishes. And Lady Esther Face
Powder clings longer, too - clings
four long hours!
But the most exciting difference is
in the shades. Lady Esther shades
have subtle new quality-because
the color is blown in by hurricanes.
Many women say that the Lady
Esther shades are so fresh and alive
that ordinary powder shades seem
dull and drab by comparison.
Proof In Your Own Mirrorl
Why choose a face powder because
it is expensive, or because of a clever
package? Judge it only by its appear
ance on your skin!
Try Lady Esther Face Powderl
Get the smallest size box, if you like
but try itlWhen you see how much
smoother and younger it makes your
skin look-it's time enough to get the
largest and most economical size.
But for living proof in your own mir
ror that this is the most Aattering
powder you have ever used, get the
small-size box today!

Miss Barry claims Charlie Chaplin

Miss Barry.

told her lawyers.
So the lawyers arranged meet

posed as Miss Barry's mother, and
Miss Barry's part was taken by
Pauline Parker, a lady detective who

The real Miss Barry remained ID

Can you take care Of her?" Miss

replied
Apparently weakening, Miss
Parker inquired where they would

You can go to Texas with me-"
he said. Then I would send you to
my sisters in New Jersey.
Attorney John j. Irwin stepped in
at this point and told the privata

1913. In addition Mrs. Berghaus had
her baby and carried on her duties
as housewife and mother. How they
did it is a saga of American determi-
nation, patriotic spirit and freedom
from fear of hard work.
Not being farm wise as she might
have wished the first thing Mrs.
Berghaus did was to ask advice of
Farm Security Administration SUI
pervisor Richard T. Bartlett. He
helped her plan the work, told her
how much stock to raise and what
to groy. Roy's tractor was too heavy
for her, and other equipment was
too old TO be useful. So supervisor
Bartlett helped her buy a ladies
model tractor and other equipment
light enough for her to operate.
Neighbors were helpful, but they
had their own work to do and
couldn't spare much time for Mrs.
Berghaus' problems.
She started her farming venture
with seven producing COWS and a
heifer to freshen, and the previous
years calf stock. A purebred Duroc
SOW and a gilt were the basis of
the swine development program.
The Waterbury Democrat. [volume] (Waterbury, Conn.) 1917-1946, 1943-06-25

This year a COW has been add
ed to the herd and two more
heifers freshened this spring. The
rest of the heifer calves were saved
and will increase production in COM
ing years. In 1912, $295 worth of
beef bull calves we're sold, and the
1913 bull crop will pay operating
expenses. In addition to hogs killed
for family use, fattened porkers
were sent to market and two were
carved to produce filters this year.
The flock of laying hens has almost
been tripled.
On supervisor Bartlett's advice,
Mrs. Berghaus planted on contour,
to combat erosion, and is building
up her land with lime, legumes and
manure. She is proud of the fact
that she had plenty of winter feed
for her stock and little left over
to sell.
"Altogether, suppose it wasn't
a bad summers work." she says,
"but, with Daddy overseas, the girls

lick this thing. you know, and every

She wasn't alone in the battle of
the hairpins, but She was a leader,
I'VE like to think" she said, that

Who died three years ago, was
known as "the hairpin king
There are eight other hairpin
firms and in 1941 they consumed a
total of $500 tons of steel, Now
they are restricted to rs per cent of
this amount, or 1875 tons.
Mrs. Goldberg doesn't worry
about this. since her plant now
makes fuse for projectiles, as
much as she does the popular mis-
conception that no hairpins what
soever are being made.
Bronze and black hairpins and
bobby pins still are being manu-
featured, she emphasized. 1t is true
that limitations have been placed
on the length, quantity, gauge and
finish of hairpins. but civilization
hasn't collapsed entirely.
"Black Market" Too
Another worry that is turning
Mrs. Goldbergs hair gray and
gray hairpins are out, of course-is
the "black market" in fairpins
F'rizzled women from the hills of

and defaced hairpin placards re-

INSCRIPTIONS retailers take cards
holding 10 hairpins or bobby pins
selling for cents, cut them into
three equal parts containing six
hairpins each, and sell each part for
is cents-for a total of As cents on
a scent article. And there are
many other such practices.
When Mrs. Goldberg thinks OF
this she pats her upswept couture
neater, entrenches her bobby pins
deeper and says periodically:
"It's up to us to make fewer hair
pins go further"
