Gets No Air

Clay holds plenty of water and
minerals but no air. This month,
as soon as clay soils become moder-
ately dry after the spring rains,
they should be broken up to depth
of eight or ten inches so that air can
get into them. Plants must breathe
just as humans and animals but, be-
cause they have no lungs, every cell
has to breathe. Thus the roots as
well as the tops must get air.

New Dealers per-
haps did not count on carrying
the State, but they did hope to cut
down the Republican majority all
along the line, especially with the
help of Sid Hillmans Political Ac-
ton Committee working so very
hard. But Sid's CLIO candidate was
utterly showed under. Surely this
election is not at all gratifying for
the New Dealers or Sid Hillman's
CIO. The Republican tide all over
the nation has been rising for the
past four years. So keep your eye
on the COP elephant.
Hello TOTO!
Did you ever hear of one Admiral
William F. Halsey? Well, he's the
guy who launched the first carrier
based planes against your shipping
in the Southern Philippines, where
he wiped out So of your ships and
500 planes. And this is only the
beginning, only the beginning. Did
it pay you for your sneak attack on
Pearl Ha1bor? You don't have 20
answer, but you do well know that
it did not pay.
Another Meat Tragedy.
Eighty thousand pounds of beef
stored in two freezing plants that
broke down at Wilkesbarre, Penn
sylvania last week became rot

10000 pounds of good scarce beef
be stored when the Wilkesbarre
stores were without beef?
Too Bad.
Bob Hope, the great movie actor

If it takes six months to convict

Unit Citation

Sgt. Robert E. Work, 20, son of

is one of a Bit Flying Fortress
group of the 18th Air Force in Italy
who was presented with a Distin-
guished Unit Citation in recogni-
ton of one of the outstanding
bombing missions of the war.
The group was cited for an action
on July 10 when Is Fortresses par
ticipated in a mission against the
airdrome and installations at Mem
mingen, Germany. Adverse weather
scattered the bomber formations
en- route to the target with the
result that the Fortress group sp-
preached the objective alone and
without fighter escort
Shortly before reaching the air
drome the bombers were attacked
by some 200 German fighter planes
The fighters bored in at the rear of
the formation and In the first
sweep destroyed the last box, wiping
out one entire squadron.
Pressing their attacks relentlesSly
the fighters knocked down seven
more Fortresses while the remain
ing bombers fought on to the target
and dropped their bombs with de-
vastating effect. During the spec
tacular air battle the groups gun
ners accounted for 65 enemy planes,
destroyed or damaged, many Of
them falling to the guns of stricken
bombers before they plunged to
their death. In addition the groups
bombs destroyed or damaged IS
more planes parked on the enemy
airdrome. In all, Col. Barton's unit
lost IA Fortresses and 143 officers
and enlisted men.
