CHEMICAL REPORTS
By Pvt. Douglas M. Deringer

Came the dawn-Personnel of Section c, of the 29th, were rudely awakened from their sound slum- bers at the ungodly hour of O50O. It seems that the co slipped up and turned the, lights on an hour early. Do not misunderstood me, for this is not a complaint. As a matter of fact, it is rumored that EM of Base Chemical like to arise bright and early. (Which just proves that it is foolish to believe rumors, especially any of this call iber.) Might we suggest that the men of "C'' be given more exten- sive training in the art of telling time. Always punctual George Wimberly would be a good lecturer.
 It seems that S/Sgts. Hank Holz- heimer and Joe Boulanger also have a complaint to register. The chem ical twins appear to be so much alike that they are constantly be- ing mistaken for each other. Must be a bit confusing, boys. By the way, we know we owe someone five bucks, but we can't remember just whom. Guess we had better forget it as we would hate to get wires crossed in such a matter of ti- nance.
 Several weeks ago we made an open request for a coffin, size 34R- Several days after publication, we received a phone call from Cpl. Brennan and Pvt. Cochrane of Base Complement Supply asking us to step over for fitting. We appre- ciate the interest and help of above mentioned gentlemen, but are hap py to report that we survived the after-affects of our folly. It IS with utmost pleasure that we re- scind this request and thank all concerned for their efforts. Don't give up yet, boys, we are still run ming and just haven't been caught yet.
 Cpl. Jack Lentz, Missouri's gift to the AAF, recently returned from furlough singing the we'll known "St. Louis Blues." That pale green complexion couldn't be the result ot love, could it Jack? Or was 1t something you ate?
 The previous columns written by us have received variety of com ments and actions. Saturday after noon, a call was received from the base physical fitness officer request ing the weight of Cpl. Wimberly, In order that he might find suitable heavy opponent for George in the coming fights. Gle actually weighs

the paternal side of his nature, and

responsibility.
H. l. D.: My husband is just a
nutty old fuss box. l am sick and
tired of his fussing. l am church

When l go, he fuses. Tell me
what to do about it.
Ans: Your husband doesn't OBJ

taking an interest in it but he
feels that you are devOting too
much of your time to it, thereby
neglecting your home. You are put
ting your husband too much in the
background. As it is, you want him
to remain at home as 4 dutiful hus-

adjustment satisfactory to both of
you without neglecting your church

bees will long endure.
We are all together slipping and
sliding as we do this, but in a
larger sense we cannot cultivate,
we cannot navigate, we cannot har-
row this ground, for those great
rains which make this mud here
have made it impossible, far above
the poor power of all but the "cats"
(tractors).
1t is for Us, the Seabees, rather
to be enslaved here by this mental
labor which they who are in charge
have thus so freely advanced. It
is rather for US to be here sickened
by the dish of hash set before US,
that from these cans we took our
nourishment; nor no devotion to
those cooks, for our stomachs gave
an everlasting measure of commo-
ton.
The world will little note nor
long remember what we build here,
but we shall never forget the hash
and beans we ate here. Let US re-
solve that we shall not have sweat
in vain; that this battalion shall
have thirty days of freedom in the
United States by Easter; that this
thought shall not perish from our
hopes.

WITH THE FIFTH U. S. ARMY
IN NORTH AFRICA.-The hot AZ
rican sun poured down on the canvas
roof and walls Of the olive-green tent
and on Lieut.. Orpha Warner, who
was washing some filmy pink I'M
derthings in a pail Of soapy water.
She wiped the sudS from her
hands and brushed the damp black
curls from her forehead. A drop Of
Precipitation trickled down one cheek
and there was a smudge on her
nose. She grinned.
IT'S not exactly like Wichita,
Kan, is it," she chuckled.
There wasn't much around to re-
mind anyone Of Wichita except, per-
haps, the young American faces and
the clothesline.
A few days ago this spot was just
a wheatfeld in French Morocco.
Now there is a tent city housing the
newest army evacuation hospital to
move into North Africa busting,

listed men from all parts Of the
United States.
Glad to Get to Work.
Everyone was glad to get back to
work after weeks of travelling across
the Atlantic by boat and North AZ
RIGA in motor convoy. The receiv-
ing tent was filed with soldiers wait
ing diagnosis of their ills. The doc
tors checked their equipment and
supplies while the nurses prepared
the wards and got their patients set
tied into beds.
Officers and nurses strobe through
the streets, shutting up little clouds
Of dust with each step. They were
far from the quiet, white hospital
rooms with the familiar cloying
odors Of antiseptics and anesthetics
but their jobs were the same.
I'VE like it here" Orpha Warner
said simply. This is what we all
wanted-to get across and work with
the army in the field. The expert

E. NJ. W: am a young woman
separated from my husband. Dur
ing the time we were apart, l was
living with a settled man. He has
good money and anything want
he gives to me. But he wouldn't
take me out. So l started slipping
around with a boy my equal and
fell for him. l promised him l
would run away with him and just
when was planning to go, 1 re-
ceived a letter from my husband
and also my allotment saying that
l was all he had and please wait
for him until the war ends and he
would make me the happiest wom-
an in the world. Help me to figure
out what is best?
Ans: The seriousness of this
war has sObered your husband ire
mendOusly and for the first time in
his life he really knows what he
wants. You are his only inspira-
ton. You were led to believe that
he no longer loved you you
wandered, made friends and found
a new life but you must admit that
something was lacking. The old
man was too old the young one
too young. Now you have the
chance to put the past behind you
and accept the love which you once
thought was lost. When you do 50,
you must put other men out of your
life entirely.
NJ. T. NJ: am a minister, pas
toring here in this little town. Ny
husband and l have begun buying
a place in the city where he works
and we plan to build as soon as we
can. Neither of US really want to
live there but just to have a home
as we both are getting well along
in years. He really wants to buy
in the country in West Texas. /
don't mind going west but don't
like the country. Tell US what to
do?
Ans: This place you are buying
is a good investment even though
you do not intend to make it your
future home. But if you wish to
dispose of the place, now is the
time to do it as prices are high and
property is in demand. Which in
turn makes it undesirable for you
to invest In a country place. Save
your money when the war is
over you and your husband can
get together and decide where you
want to live and buy accordingly.
]. D. N: I am married and have
been for Is years. My wife is very
kind. Sometimes l think that she
is too kind to some people. Am 1
justified in thinking as I do? 1
need your help.
Ans: A kind loving wife is a
blessing beyond any price. Kind
ness is a natural gift with her &.
she's kind to you and it radiates to
all with whom she comes in contact.
Don't let this little spark of jeal-
Ousy on your part fare up and de-
strOy this priceless gift that she
has. Associate yourself more close
ly with her circle of friends and all
reason for doubt will be erased
from your mind.

NJ. NJ. G.: l have written you
many times before in fact, l have
been writing for 5 years. You have
helped me to live a respectable and
honest life. l do hope you enjoy a
prosperous and happy year. 1 do
not know you, never have seen you
but l feel so friendly with you as
your letters are friendly and you
surely want people to live right.
From one of your friends. Mrs. NJ.
G.
B. R.: have a habit of eating
Argo Corn Starch, the cooking kind
and l eat from one to two boxes in
"a hours. What is the cause of it
and is it against me, and if so tell
me? What shall ! do to stop it?
Ans: This abnormal craving for
starch probably is caused by a de-
ficiency in your diet This habit
might lead to an impairment in
your health and since you do not
feel equal to cope with this situa-
ton yourself, seek medical aid. Ar
range to see your family doctor,
or some good medical doctor for a
complete physical examination.
E. D.: have boy friend in the
Marines. l used to hear from him
every week, but in his last letter
he told me not to write until l heard
from him again. He had planned
to come home Christmas and we
were to be married, but he was
shipped overseas. He asked me to
wait on him and that he would like
for me to go to live with his mother
while he was gone. 1t has been
several weeks now since l heard
from him. Should wait on him
as l haven't heard from him or be-
gin going with other boys?
Ans: You are too impatient =.
you really haven't had time to get
a letter from your Marine yet if he
has been shipped overseas. Give
him time before you start doubt
ing his sincerity. None of the girls
left behind find it a bed of roses
to have to sit and wait for messages
from their sweethearts and hus-
bands. Your sweetheart expects you
to be as brave and patient as he is
having to be >. and to accept your
sacrifice in a nObler spirit and
also to give him the same confidence
that he places in you. If you don't
-. then you are not worthy of him.
NJ. T.: 1 can't help worrying
about my husband. He runs after
every woman he meets. He is not
a provider for his home. He had
three other wives before he had me,
and he has done them the same way.
Should l make a change and go
where my girl friend is or remain
at home?
Ans: Your husband was a born
Casanova and surely you should
have known if three other wives
couldn't get along with him, you
didn't have much chance. You have
waited a little too late to start
thinking about making a change.
You have your child to consider . .
and should avoid bringing it up in q
divided home. There is one thing
in your favor that might bring

David Kliewer, American airman
now held prisoner of war by the
Japanese was permitted to send a 25-
word message to his parents, Rev.
and Mrs. p. A. Kliewer of Albany
Oregon, who are visiting here.
David was taken prisoner early in
the conflict and has since been held
in prison camp on one of the is
lands in the japanese group.
The message written last August
was received in December. 1t said
that he was well and had high hopes
of seeing his parents soon.
David is a former Bluffton youth
and attended school here during
which time his father was pastor of
the Ebenezer Mennonite church.
Rev. and Mrs. Kliewer who have
been spending several days with
former parishioners in Bluffton and

Wages in Land

Ownership of many farms in the
Bluffton district is changing hands
these days, with most of the turn
over represented by men 65 years
of age or older retiring from agri-
cultural pursuits while land is bring
ing good prices.
With sales of farms increasing
steadily, there are some symptoms
of land boom similar to that which
this area went thru i'm World War /.
In addition to the good prices re-
ceived for land sold today, older
farmers are influenced in their deci-
sions to sell out by the fact that
they are unable to do all of their
work and they find. it practically
impossible to obtain farm labor.
38 to SO Year Group Buyers
Most of the land changing hands
now is going to younger men be-
tween the ages of 38 and so, many
of whom own adjoining farms and
want more acreage.
Others buying farmland are men
who have been working in war plants
and believe this is good time to get
set for what postwar conditions may
bring. With curtailment in some
war plants, these men are investing
their savings in farm investments,
which offer high degree of security.
AS long as there is ready marker
and good prices for farm products,
the sale of land probably will
continue on the present trend. Some
farmers estimate they are netting a
1870 return, even on today's higher
land prices.
