from Phoenix TO FL Centre to see

he said. When we rolled through
the streets in the pouring rain or
snow the people would be lined up
along the streets to cheer. They
would give us ANYTHING they had,
bread and hot coffee. We know they
had so little but they gave it to us.
II was their welcome and their
way of showing gratitude.
Il shall never forget how they sat
in their gardens in some places and
started singing their national an

"Blackmer took over his duties and
assumed charge in place of his

too. This happened as we were 60

He declared that the American
soldiers will get along satisfactorily
as long as the mail keeps coming
from home and home conditions are

These soldiers are far more in

They were happy to see us and

Colonel Wynne was overseas two

entered the service in 1910. He took
a reserve officers training course.
He started from Germany on his

Sugar Shortage
Seen For 1945

WASHINGTON, Nov. 30. CUP)-
Food industry officials told the
government Thursday that the ma
ton faces a serious sugar shortage
in l945 unless steps are taken now
TO prevent it.
The warning was sounded by the
food industry war committee, COM
posed of representatives of the food
processing ano distributing indus
try. which said u. S. sugar stocks
totaled 465,00 tons on October l,
1914, IAN amount much lower than
on any corresponding date during
the past 10 years"
1t attributed the shortage to lack
of shipping to bring in sugar from
outside the country and lack of
sufficient. production here.
To correct the situation the group
recommended that more ships be
diverted to bring in sugar from
other countries, that local refiners
be given manpower and priorities
aid that the present rationing pro-
gram be revamped to avoid loose
and illegal" distribution and that
TO sugar should be used for making
alcohol.
