The answer was forthcoming
today.
Billy has been away polishing
off the Japs.
His amazing story came to light
when he limped into national
headquarters. He left as a kid,
hardly dry behind the ears. He
came back as an outstanding
World War II hero of Indiana
polls, a sergeant with his chest
covered with the distinguished

October and November are fall
planting months for. fruit trees
Plan now the location, and the
types of fruit trees you will want
to add to your garden. Areas
where trees will be planted should
be well prepared now to give good
first-growth to new trees.
When dig ging potatoes, sort
them as to size so that you'll not
have to dig through the whole
potato sack to pick small ones for
Dreaming, or large ones for bak-
ing. Any that are bruised in dig
ging should be set aside to be used
first.
Onions grown for winter use
should be ready for harvest. AS
soon as the stalks die and fall to
the ground, they are ready to be
pulled. Dry them thoroughly, twist
off the remaining dead stalks and
store in a cool ploce where the
circulation of air is good, Unlike
most vegetables, they keep better
where there is light.
With many gardeners reaping
the rewards of their toll, and en-
joying bountiful supplies of fresh
vegetables, now is the time to take
stock over the past season. BY
making notes on the success OF
different varieties planted, noting
maturity times, estimating costs
of seed, fertilizer, ETC., and figur-
ing dollars and cents returns,
much valuable data can be ac-
cumulated so that in planting next
years garden there will be much
less waste of time, money and
energy.

American Shipyards Deliver The Goods

ing the seas for well-paid defense
jobs ashore.
Nine months later there were
80, 900 seamen-7O,0O0 on our car
go ships, 10000 in the armys
fleet and 10000 on vessels of Pan
anna and Honduras registry, all re-
cruited through the War Shipping
Administration. War bonuses and
better wages were secured for the
seamen.
The shipping situation, OWL re-
ports, has undergone a change for
the better.
I'VE have ended a period of pas
sive protection of conveys and
have taken the offensive by sea
and air against the U-boat itself,
and by bomber against it's Ger
man breeding places" it says. "U
boats have been driven into eau
tious and limited operations"
The sea assault in the first two
years failed to cut off England's
supply line. In 1912, however, the
United Nations lost 100000
deadweight tons of shipping. Re-
placements in this war did not be-
gin on a big scale, according to
Owl, until the United States ship
building program put 100000
tons into service in 1912. The Owl
estimates that 100000 tons must
be continuously employed to serv-
ice our armed forces overseas.
The actual construction of ships
for 1943 may fall below the 49,
000,000ton- schedule, because of
steel shortages, lack of propulsion
equipment for vessels, manpower
shortages and unforeseen circum-
stances, owl, reports.
The report praises the work of
the average shipyard and shipyard
worker. The time required for con-
struction of Liberty ship, MAIN
stay of the cargo fleet, has been
cut from 105 days, the average
for deliveries in July, 1912, to 52.6
days, the average for January,
uary, 1912, owl reports. The re-
port contains no later production
figures.
There is "a great disparity be-
tween the production averages for
the fast yards and the slow yards,
OWL discloses. The report praises
the Kaiser Richmond yards for
producing the Robert f. Peary in
Z days and the Oregon Shipyard
70 rits June, 1913, output of II
ships on IL ways, an average of
278 days per ship. The first Lib
erty ship, the Patrick Henry, took
244 days to complete, the report
points out.
OWL says $4,000 more shipyard
workers will be required to meet
production schedules. There are
now more than 675,0OO workers,
both ALL and CLIO, but the first
quarter of 1913 showed turnover
in the yards to average 11.2 per
cent.
"At least onet-hird of the alb
sences," OWL says, "are due to
illness and accidents.
THE shipyards where inexcus-
able days off are fewest are those
where plant and union committees
keep close tab on lost days." OWL
says, land where leadermen are
made responsible for the attend
ance of their crews"
Yards are located for the con-
venience of ships, not men. Dwell
ings for one hundred thousand
people are in prospect to cure a
situation which in some areas to-
day is no better than that Off
cially described in 1917 as bad
housing and shockingly inadequate
transportation However, by
spreading the shipyards along
three coasts, and facilitating hous-
ing and transportation, a marked
improvement has been made"

Here's a doubl duty meat
stretcher idea-macaroni, spaghet-
Ii, noodles and vermicelli. Not only
will any of these products make a
single portion of meat fill several
plates, but they'll round out car
bohydrate content of meal. These
paste products are made from
Northwestern Durum wheat, and
are first-class energy foods. The
carbohydrate content is nearly "a
percent-valuable for the heavy
war work most of us are doing
today. Now, manufacturers are
working on new formulas for in
creasing the protein content of
macaroni products (ordinarly they
contain Is percent protein)
through the addition of soy flour,
corn germ and wheat germ.
The number of ways macaroni
products may be utilized in meal
planning are limitless, with a little
ingenuity on the part of the home
maker. AS a casserole dish, they
can be used with fish, meat,
cheese, poultry, etc. A nodded
ring, filled with fresh vegetables,
and possibly covered with a cheese
sauce will make an appetizing and
wholesome meal. They're good in
salads, and last nights homemade
soup, with cooked spaghetti added,
will make enough for another
meal. In using any macaroni pro-
duct for the main dish of meal,
some other animal protein should
be included such as eggs, fish,
meat, cheese, ETC., as the protein
in macaroni is not sufficient for
building body tissues such as ami
NAL proteins are capable of doing.

Cleaned Out Nest


General Somervell pinned the
medals on young Billy at Fort
Macarthur, Cal, May 25, 1943 for
unusual bravery in action. 1t hap
pened at Buna Pass, March IS,
1913.
Billy's outfit was in the attack
on Buna Pass. The American ad-
vance had been halted by a strong
ly placed Jap machine gun nest.
Captain Jack L. Pixies of Co. B,
2Sth Signal Corps Service Com
mand, attached to the 32nd Ma
rines, called for four volunteers to
put the nest out of action.
Young Sergeant Evans was one
OF those volunteers. Sergeant Jack
Wiltheit, Sergent Herman John
son and Corporal Billy Johnson,
brothers from Missouri, were the
others.
The four Yanks crawled toward
the pass. They searched in vain
with their eyes for the camouflag-
ed Jap nest. Finally Sergeant
Wiltheit announced he would run
into the pass to draw the Jap
fire,s so his buddies could locate
the nest. Jap machine guns cut
him to pieces, but disclosed the
location of the stronghold.
Knocked Out As Japs
Billy takes up the story:
I'VE bagan crawling forward to
flank the nest. We were still some
200 feet away when they discov-
cred us and opened on us. The
first burst of fire took me in the
shoulder. Corporal johnson was
killed instantly. Sgt. Johnson and
I began throwing hand grenades.
From then on everything went
black for me and don't remem-
Der much about it. But they tell
me 1 threw grenades with both
hands and used my tommy gun.
We rushed right in behind our
granades. That's where / got that
bayonet scar, when we mixed it
with the Japs. When we accounted
for the last one, the Japs further
up opened with shrapnel and NOR
tar fire. 1 caught jagged piece
of shrapnel in my left side, and
mortar shell shattered my right
leg from the knee to the hip. /
don't remember a thing after that
until I woke up in field hospital,
miles away"
When the rest of the company
got there the actual count showed
As dead and wounded Japs laying
around. The 4-man patrol had not
figured on more than a half dozen
Japs. Sgt. johnson said young
Evans got the lions share of the
Japs.

Young Evans spent two weeks
in the field hospital, then a hos
pital ship took him to San Pedro,
Cal. He spent months at the gov

The Tar
Heel
Gardener
BY John H. Harris
N. C. State College

Manure, especially stable man.
ure, is one of our best fertilizers.
1t not only furnishes plant nutri.
ents, but also adds humus to the
soil. This hunus is very import
ant in that it holds moisture and
helps keep the soil loose and work
able. Poultry manure is good
fertilizer, but does not contain as
much potential humus as does
stable manure.
Manure that contains lots of
straw or other bedding material,
if applied in the fall or winter,
will have time to decay and be-
come available for plants in the
spring. If possible, the manure
should be plowed or spaded into
the soil. Until the manure COM
pletes its decomposition, it may
tie up the free nitrogen bacteria
of the soil. As soon as this pro-
cess is completed the soil nitro
gen as well as the nitrogen in
the manure becomes available to
plants. This is the reason for ap-
plying manure to the soil several
months ahead of planting season
1t IS true, however, that some
plant nutrients will be lost when
manure is applied in the fall, and
for that reason it may be advis-
able to wait until spring before
applying poultry or other manure
that contains little filler.
When manure is added to com
posted leaves and other vegeta-
ton, it will hasten decomposition.
This material if composted now
can be applied to the garden in
the spring. In addition to the man
ure or compost some complete
garden fertilizer should be used,
but should not be applied until
a few days before the vegetables
are to be planted.
