NEW YORK Ensign Os-

Oscar enlisted" in Uncle
Sans forces via the u. S. Coast
Guard in Norfolk, Va, when he
was three weeks and five days
old. His enlistment papers re-
corded his occupation as Chief
Assistant to Arnold Furst, a
USO-Camp Shows magician. Os-

The Coast Guard recorded
Oscars personal characteristics
as having white hair, pink eyes,
fair complexion, with-as dis
tinguishing marks very long
ears and a fuzzy tail. His "spe-
cial qualifications" were listed
as resting" which Oscar did a
lot, performing for only 80 min
utes twice a day, when his unit
was playing. Much of his nine
months abroad, largely in the
Mediterranean theater, were
spent getting from outpost to
outpost.

on which Oscar returned from
the wars did not consider that

in the armed formeS, SO in a spe-
cial ceremony, the rabbit was
given the honorary rank of As
SiStant Vice Commodore Of the

Oscars job, actually, was a
passive one. He was the rabbit
who was pulled out of the hat
ard he lent himself TO this adult
form of amusement in Africa,
Sicily and all over Italy.

miles from the Germans, and 30

bushels. The oats crop is a big
one, and when the good crops of
buckwheat and barley and the
near-reCord rice harvest are to-
tailed with the other grains, il
makes some 1873 million tons.
That would be 10 million tons
more than last year, and only
slightly less than the grains
peak of 1912, reports indicate.
The hay crop is good, too, about
90 million tons. Since pastures
are reported generally in good
condition, the feed outlook ap-
pears greatly improved over
earlier expectations.
Mrs. Housewife can look for
ward TO more fresh fruits
and vegetables this winter than
she was able TO buy last year,
says USDA. Supplies of fruit
for the 1944-45 season will pro-
baby be 10 to Is per cent great
err than last season, and vegeta-
bles for fresh market are up
about 10 per cent over 1943. The
canned vegetable pack is ex-
pected to be larger due to a
10 per cent increase in vegeta-
bles for processing. Tomatoes,
for example, exceed the 1913
tonnage by some 10 per cent.

WASHINGTON When you
are handing out bouquets for
production records this year,
don't overlook the American
farmer. He's done it again!
A record food production is
coming from the nations farms
for the eighth successive time.
US. Department of Agricul-
ture estimates show that four
per cent more crops are being
reaped than in '43, with about
four per cent less labor and in
crease of only a little more than
two per cent in harvested acre
age.
AS winter nears, it appears
that the harvest will be bigger
than in any year except 1912
and few weeks of favor
able weather could see the crop
volume set new all-time high,
according to USDA.

 WORLD WAR l VETERAN
WiIbert w. DenslOw DrOws While Swimming Near Windsor.

Wilbert w. Denslow, of Wood land Avenue, was drowned in Pennington River while swimming near the Birchwood section of Windsor Sunday afternoon, July 23.
 Edward Koh1er of 1855 Tunxis Avenue, companion of MT. Dens- low, told police he and Denslow had gone to the river early in the afternoon to bathe and fish. He explained that, as he left the scene to get some refreshments, he noticed his companion had entered the stream to swim. When Kohler returned, he saw Denslow go down in that part of the river said to be 20 to 30 feet deep. Kohler ran to the home of Edward Field and summoned the Police and Fire De- partments.
 The body was found about an hour later but all efforts to revival failed. Denslow had celebrated his Seth birthday the day before his death. He served overseas with the M.P.'s during World War l, and military rites were conducted under the direction of It. c. C.. Robinson Post, No. 254, VFW.
