Less Than Dozen Get
lodgings Here In Jail

Less than a dozen transients
asked for overnight lodging in the
Bluffton Jail during 1943, another
sign of the effect that the war has
had on what once was sizeable
floating population moving thru
Bluffton.
In 1941, for example, overnight
lodgings in the jail were enjoyed by
GA persons, and during the pre-
ceding year more than 800 were ac-
commodated.
With employment available TO
anyone who wants it, there no long
er are penniless men tramping the
country in search of jobs, and town
officials further cut into the over
night clientele by notifying the reg
ulars" that they could no longer
stay in the Jail here.
Marshal Lee Coon said those real
ly in need are cared for, but those
definitely in the clss of "bums" can
no longer expect to stay here over
night.

LADY'S STOMACH WAS
LIKE A GAS FACTORY;
MEALS TURNED TO GAS

One lady said recently that her
stomach used to be like a "gas
factory!" That is, when she ate a
meal it seemed to turn right into
gas. She was always bloated, had
awful stomach gas pains, daily head
aches and constant irregular bowel
action. Now, however, this lady
says she is FREE of STOMACH
GAS and she says the change is due
to taking ERB-HELP. Her meals
agree with her. No gas or bloat
after eating. Headaches and consti-
patton are gone. "Oh! what re
lief!" states this lady. "Why don't
other gas and constipation sufferers
get ERB-HELP?"
ERB-HELP contains f2 Great
Herbs; they cleanse bowels, clear
gas from stomach, act on sluggish
liver and kidneys. Miserable people
soon feel different all over So
don't go on suffering! Get ERB-
HELP. Hauenstein's Drug Store.

Intimate Glimpses OF
Life OF Men In 37th
Division
Continued from page II

Garand rifles, their submachine guns.
tt was a tense moment. Ii the enc
my were to make an air attack to
resist a landing, now was the time.
II wonder how Ellie and the kids
are doing now" said a young soldier
who had never seen the twins his
wife had borne while he was over
seas. Men talked of home, of steaks
and ice cream and pie and cake.
Some of them speculated on the
chance of being sent to New Zealand
or Australia after the Bougainville
campaign. Some of them had been
fortunate enough to spend time In
New Zealand, and liked it and had
told their buddies.
The men were restless. Trained
in land fighting, they hated being
cooped up in ship and without a
chance to fight back if an attack
should come.
LOWER LANDING BOATS
The soldiers began to hear the
loud speaker issuing commands for
the lowering of landing boats, clear
ing the decks and manning battle
stations. Then came the order to
debark. An audible murmer, blend
ed from sighs of relief, ran around
the hold.
Quickly the men moved to the
rail, swung over and climbed down
the landing nets, which, woven OF
one-inch rope and strong enough to
support several men, led them to the
landing boats. Although fully armed
and carrying their full field packs,
they made quick, expert work of it.
The unloading process was efficient
and speedy As quickly as one
barge started for the shore, an
empty one took its place. The land
ing was made safely. The dreaded
enemy air attack did not material
ize.
The troops took their positions.
Life in the jungles and hills OF
Bougainville began. Warfare is
grim. Once the men were pipe fit
ters and lawyers, plumbers and ac-
contestants, or occupied at scores of
civilian jobs, but now they had been
soldiers for what seemed a long
time. What with Japanese snipers
and bombers, the discomforts of
Jungle life and the need for constant
work, days and nights are fully oc-
cupied. Yet their is plenty of hu-
NOR.
THAT Fox HOLE
Take, for instance, this incident.
Some of the troops were changing
their positions, digging in deeper
and setting up perimeter defense
around their headquarters. Barbed
wire was strung around all the en-
placements, guns were mounted Sc
curely, and foxholes were deepened
and covered with logs and sandbags
One soldier made a particularly good

why we cannot be if we begin now

DR.. Cuthven said the two-fold
task of preparing students for war

by colleges and universities since
the beginning OF hostilities, but
added that the interest and coop

be necessary for a real prepare

Two ways Of helping the nation
adjust to a new world, he said,
would be by making up the educa-
tional deficit lost by war veterans
and by increasing facilities for
adult education.
Describing his wartime visit 10

that country has been preparing for

DESTROYS
Miller Barn

Belleville, Mich, Nov. 10-Fred
Miller estimated his loss at $4,000
when his barn burned Thursday
night, four miles south OF Belleville
at 22160 Ellwell Rd. Farm tools
hay, corn, silage oats, wheat, and
a registered Holstein bull were also
lost. All other livestock was re-
moved from the flaming barn by
the owner and his son Glenn. Both
men were treated for burns about
the hands and face, received while
attempting to put out the fire and
removing the stock.
The fire was discovered by the
son while it was still confined in
the peak of the barn, but quickly
spread to the hay and corn stored
in the lofts.
Several out buildings were en-
dangered by sparks and burning
straw, as was the home of John
Miller, brother to Fred, who lives
across the road from the barn. The
Willow Run fire department went
to the blaze, but soon returned
when it became evident that the
barn could not be saved.
Ypsilanti State Police remained
at the fire until o'clock this morn
ing. A nephew Of Mr.. Miller watch
ed the embers until morning.
