Wash Walls
Safely
BY ELEANOR ROSS

ONE OF the best uses for
soap Jelly. which is 10 be found
these days In most well arranged
kitchens, is in washing painted
walls and woodwork. III y
The home front in this war
can use a lot of paint washing.
owing to the shortage of man.
power for painting. Practically
all painted surfaces can be
freshened up with soap and
water, and at little or no cost
beyond the time and effort in
volved.
Applying Jelly
For applying the jelly to
walls. use a dampened soft
sponge or a clean scrubbing
brush with soft bristles-or soft
cloths such as old Turkish tow
els. Clean rags are needed for
rinsing and drying.
Two pails-one for soap Jelly
and the other for rinse water
should be on hand. A long ham
died brush for removing surface
dust before starting the wash
ing. and stepladder complete
the equipment
Before tackling the job see
that the stepladder is firm and
secure. But don't mount the lad

of the wall. Working downward
is likely 10 cause trickles on the
uncleaned sections below, maxi
ing washing more difficult.
Use Sweeping Stroke
Work with a sweeping stroke
rather than short, jerky ones.
Wash, rinse and wipe one wall

the room, open windows to has

Before leaving. gather up pic
lures taken from the wall and
wash the frames which can

yesterday.
County Auditor J. A. Orrell re-

Last year, on the same date, the
collected total stood at $109,535 less

At that time, some of the citizens

thus refunded.
Through August Is of this year,
the City of Wilmington has accept.
ed prepaid taxes in the amount Of
$163,213, at the rate of $1.35 pei
500 valuation.
on the same date last year, Will

The Wilmington Port commission
will take a firm stand on the belief
that the Interstate Commerce COM

freight rates, when the Southern
Traffic league brings this matter
up as a special subject on the
docket of its twenty-sixth annual
meeting September % in Atlanta
J. T. HERS. executive general
agent of the port commission and
first vice president of the league,
declared yesterday that the League
and all shippers are in accord in
the belief that the ICC is the only
properly qualified tribunal to decide
technical questions and the reason

and to issue orders in connection

made after the leagues disclosure
that INFORMED sources reveal that
the United States Department Of
Justice, instead of bringing GRIM
inal action as it once did before a
special grand jury in Chicago, like
ly would institute civil proceedings
against the carriers in the District
of Columbia federal court on the
grounds they have been charging
excessive rates to shippers in the
south and southwest.

traffic league, has advised HERS
that the league .'believes that the
Interstate Commerce commission is

termine, on the record made, what
findings of fact are proper in the
so-called class rate cases, which

 HEADQUARTERS. ALASKAN DE- PARTMENT-De St. Matthew Island, that pinpoint of land half way between Siberia and Alaska in Boring Sea, was known to the ten soldiers who were it's only occupants for nearly a year as Post Mortem, or Camp Beeehuek. An Eskimo term, Beechuck means mo damn good"-or words to that effect
 True, the treeless island isn't good for much, but it proved it's value as a weather station ,and that was the business of the small group of soldiers who occupied it.
 For nine months after they were put ashore from a Navy destroyer in September, 1942, along with ap- proximately 100000 pounds of sup plies and equipment the ten exiles received no mail, saw no other hu- man beings, and had their fill of canned food.
 The U. S. Coast Guard vessel Clover, which brought their relief, also carried the first mail they had received. There were only 2 letters and one of the precious envelopes was addressed to Cpl Harry D. Lyons of MorgantoWn, W. Va.
 ''The first and only letter l had received in nine months,' said Lyons. and it was a Christmas Greetings card from my home town church! Was I disgusted. I've still got the card-saving it for a sou venir.."
 Lyons said the ten soldiers missed fresh meat and green vegetables most of all. We had IT baked hams when we landed on the island and saved three of them for Thanks giving, Christmas and New Year. sI dinners. We had a real celebration on New Years Eve and ran around camp beating on tin pans and firing our rifles. We also celebrated every mans birthday when they came a. round"
 Their supply of food was supple mented by an occasional hair seal, wild birds, seagull eggs and fish. We lost our salt in shipment somel way" said Staff Sgt. Robert L. Carr of Salt Lake City, the non-com in charge of the small detachment. We didn't miss it after the first two months"
 The island apparently was un- inhabited for several years prior to the war, but there was evidence someone had violated game reserva- tion laws to trap white foxes on the island. The trapper left at least two items which proved useful to the soldiers-a sled which was used for hauling coal and an empty beer bottle which came in handy as a rolling pin.
 Through a miXup, the ten soldiers furthered their education in the classics during their lonely stay on St. Matthew. When they left for the outpost. They took along num- Der of books which they thought consisted mainly of murder myster- ies and other thrillers.
 When we opened the crate, we found that We had set of Charles Dickens works" Carr explained. Everyone in the detachment read every book we had at least two or three times. John Steinbeck's Grapes of Wrath was good for several weeks of discussion.
 Biggest morale boosters were the battery radio set and Pfc. Lynn (Doc) Watt of Wichita, Kas. the detachment medic and a guy who was always good for a laugh" He

 Favorite radio programs were the so-called soap operas, and there was one in particular to which they lis tened religiously every Sunday af- ternoon.
 It. Gen. Simon B. Buckner, Jr, Alaskan Department commander, commended the ten men, who vol unteered for the mission, for build ing and maintaining the weather station, completely isolated from the rest of the world, and under the severest climatic conditions"
 Their splendid work on this mis- sion reflects great credit upon the individuals concerned and upon the military service," he said.
