Farming News

The rainfall in and around JEFF
ferson for March, 1914, was 5.83
inches as compared to 7 inches for
March, 1913, according to Mrs.
Joe Worth, of Jefferson. The rain
fell slow, however, and very lit
tie washing of the soil took place.

Last week, while taking soil
samples from nine fields on Bow
er Walters farm located south
east of Jefferson, just off the
North Wilkesboro road, it was in
teresting to find earth worms in
all the fields. This is a good sign
in that the worms live off of Or
ganic matter and where organic
matter is plentiful in the soil, you,
in every case, find soil which is
fertile and has a capacity for
absorbing large quantities of wa
ter. These little farm animals, if
given a chance, will convert
turned under crop residue into
fertilizer free of charge, but if
crop residue is burned and no
cover crops planted and turned
under for them, they will disap-
pear from the soil and scars of
erosion will soon replace them.

Old Rouen Churches
May Be ResiorabIe
Buy Many Interiors
Destroyed by War

LONDON - U.P -Architec-
tural experts who have been
studying the extent of war dam
age TO Rouen's historical build
ings are now convinced that the
city's three great medieval chur-
ches which were adj bombed can
be successfully restored.
Though all three buildings
were hit by German and Allied
bombs, fortunately the main
structures withstood the blast
and fire. However, much of the
old town was destroyed beyond
repair, especially during the
German bombardment in 1910.
The magnificent Palais de JUS
tice, representing the latest pc
riod of Gothic architecture, was
completely Quilted by fire. It's
external appearance can be re-
stored, but the interior decora-
tons are lost to posterity.
Gone, too. are most OF the
towns timber framed h u $ s
which gave Rouen its particular
character.

A note of encouragement anc
cheer TO many Mount Clemens
and Macomb County families
whose sons are prisoners of war
in Germany is sounded in a mes
sage received this week by Coun-
~ Clerk Guy L. Brown, whose
son, T/Sergt. Guy Jr., was cap
tured after his Flying Fortress
was brought down over Ger
many.
The message came in some
what dramatic manner from an
AAF sergeant now hoSpitalized
in this country, who had been
confined in Stalag Luft 4 with
Scrgt, Brown.
The writer, who wished only
to be known publicly as Bill,

assured Brown in a typewriter
letter that his son asked me to
write you and / want TO assure
you that there is no need to Wor-
ry as he is getting good care un-
der the circumstances. When l
left he was in good health and
fine spirits I'll be going home in
a few days so there will be no
need of your writing me. I feel
this war in Germany will end
soon and your son will soon be
back with you"
Puzzled as TO why the man
had typed the letter, which was
mailed from a Port Huron adj
dress, and disappointed because
the released prisoner of war had
not found time to call personally
on Mr.. and Mrs. Brown, the
county clerk sought the aid of
Beatrice Westlake, of the Ma
comb County Red Cross in trac-
ing the letter. Within "a hours
the full circumstances were re-
vealed:
Bill" didn't type the letter
himself. Both of his arms are
completely paralyzed and one
elbow was shot away = the rea-
son for his return to this coun-
try as an exchanged prisoner.
He will not be going home in
a few days, since he is now in
Percy Jones Hospital, Battle
Creek, where surgeons are seek
ing to combat the paralysis and
restore his manual dexterity.
Nurses attending him in Port
Huron said he had returned with
the addresses of 80 men he had
known in the prison camp and
had dictated typed letters to all
relatives - but had delayed the
mailing Of them until he was
about to leave Port Huron for
Battle Creek. He was sensitive
about his arm injuries and hoped
to have the use Of his arms be-
fore meeting prisoners families
personally.
However, apart from his in
iuries, nurses said that "Sergt.
Bill" was in good physical condi-
ton, with no indication Of ema-
citation or deterioration Of his
faculties.
The self-effacing hero will be
visited by Mr.. and Mrs. Brown
as soon as arrangements can be
made at Battle Creek. when pos
sibly his arms will be in good
use again.
"We're going TO see that he's
as happy as we can make him."
Brown said, because the news
he brought us Of our sons health
and spirits was worth a lot to
us. We hope it encourages other
parents courage"
Scrgt. Brown has writ ten
home that he is active in ath-
lcticS at the camp, which is
new one situated in Pomerania,
80 miles inland from the Baltic
Sea. He has been coaching
baseball team and giving the
camp band a bit OF swing from
the Kay-Bees repertory.
They must be we'll looked
after if they are enjoying ath-
letics and music" Brown Sr.,

YOUNGEST CAPT.
mus. MERCHANT
MARINE, IS HERE

Twenty tnree-year old Theodore
W. Anderson, believed to be the
youngest skipper in the Merchant
Marine, piloted the Fisheries vessel
Brant to Juneau on it's last trip,
making the voyage while waiting for
his ship to be outfitted at San
Francisco.
Capt. Anderson, who first sailed
the Alaskan seas in fishing tender
at the age of 10, was born in Sell
dovia. His father, who died in 1887,
was a marine engineer and his
mother today operates a dock in
Seldovfa.
His uncle, also Theodore Ander-
son, was skipper of a Hamburg
American passenger ship at the age
of "a. so the 'old" sea dog is truly
descendant of seafaring family.
The Daily Alaska empire. [volume] (Juneau, Alaska) 1926-1964, 1944-06-30


After working on a cannery tender
while in his teens, young Anderson
sailed for the United States Bureau
of Fisheries and the Standard Oil
Company. He is now with the Pa
cific Tankers, Inc.
The young skipper didn't allow his
love for the sea to interfere with
his studies and took his high school
courses at the Y.MC.A., where he
also took advantage of one of their
projects, receiving training at the
Washington Technical Institute of
Navigation School. He attended a
quarter at the University of Wash
ington following his Y. NJ G. A.
studies.
Capt. Anderson brought the Brant
to Juneau, replacing Capt. Leo j,
Collins, who is i'll and was unable
to make the present trip. The young
Merchant Marine skipper will go by
plane from here to San francisco,
from where he will leave on his next
assignment.

in a bloody battle for chateau
southwest of Cambres, waved a
white flag because our troops ran
off and deserted u.s."
An officer said the Germans
looked like ghosts, their faces
white with terror, and their eyes
red as gimlet holes from what they
described as three nights and days
of hell"
When they emerged from a
machine gun nest at the chateau,
they said: I'VE were under orders
to fight to the last bullet and the
last man, but our soldiers broke
and ran, so we decided to sur
render.
What would be the use of dying
alone? We had nothing hot to
eat, and have been sitting in the
rain under that terrible Smelling
for 72 hours. 1t was unbearable,
even for the Fuehrer."

SANCTIONS AGAINST
ALASKA Idly. WAIVED

The War Labor Board has issued
waiver of sanctions against the
Alaska Laundry Company, Juneau,
thereby relieving this company of
penalties found applicable by the
Boards legal staff because of GER
tain violations of the wage stabili-
cation law The waiver is based
on the fact that the company
showed good faith in applying VOL
unfairly for approval of wage adj
justments previously made without
WLB approval and in disclosing all
the facts of the violations.
The official notice of waiver from
the regional attorney received by
Charles T. Battin, wage stabiliza-
ton director for Alaska reads:
You are advised that the en-
forcement committee of the board
has authorized this office to dis
the violations in respect to
the Alaska Laundry Company upon
the ground that although the COM
pany made certain violations in
wage rates without prior
of the National War
Labor Board, yet raises as made
were all subsequently approved and
the employer made full and COM
plete disclosure of all the facts of

faith that sterilization of wages
was actually accomplished and
that conditions upon the future
compliance of the employer with
