Stockman Bombs Cattle
With Salt From Airplane

CANYON CITY, ORE. - Clark
Morris. Grant county stockman,
would make a good bombardier,
especially if livestock were the tar
get.
Answering the problem Of how
to salt stock in the high areas Of
the county, Morris dropped 50-pomd
blocks of salt from an airplane to
his stock 1000 feet below. Local
stockmen had maintained that the
salt blocks would break if dropped
to the range from planes, but on
riding into the area, Morris found
that only n block had broken and
that each block had fallen within 10
feet of its objective.
Making two trips, 800 pounds Of
salt were distributed in 40 minutes.
1t would take at least four days by
team and wagon to distribute that
much salt, if they could make it at
all. Proving that precision bomb
ing" works, Morris has become the
local hero.

A housewife, wearing a fur coat
although it was July when the pic
ture was taken, is shown taking a
package of quick-frozen foodfrom her
locker. 1t is possible to keep IS much

Most customers keep their boxes
full, replacing whatever they take
out with something of equal bulk, SO
that the compartment really holds
many times its capacity during a
years time. Rental of ordinary
sized lockers costs from S12.50 to
S16.50 a year.
Quick freezing may be done at
home by means OF specially made
small units. But these r limited
to wartime restrictions. Every home
may have one after the war; for
the present, however, the housewife
who wants to plan ahead may use
the community lockers in frozen food
locker plants which are now located
in many places throughout the Dur
try. A recent government survey
revealed that there are 1900 of these
locker plants in 46 states, handling
about a half-billion pounds of meat,
poultry, fruit and vegetables a year.

But lockers in the metropolitan New

The American Frozen Food Lock-

Since then a steady stream of us

THE LIFE OF THE PARTY

Parties are moving outdoors these
warm days. Even with %rationing
you can manage to whip up a picnic
or two, especially if everybody
brings his own pickin's. Here are
some recently reported party trends
that should help you plan your next
rat race.
Sock 'em-Don't ask US why. but
Sock Dances are very popular. Ev-
erybody takes off his and her shoes
and the idea is to dance in your
socks. Couch, that guy must be an
Eskimo; he dances as if he had
snowshoes onD
On the Square-Summer's the
time for square dancing-so get the
gang together and buy an album Of
square-dance music. Get some local
old-timer to teach you how to dc
this rural j~itterbugging and you're
all set for a strenuous evening.
Yo-Yo Contests-We reported a
few weeks ago that the Yo-Yo fad
was sweeping high school campuses.
Well, now we hear that Yo-Yo con-
tests are the hit Of teen-age par.

have fun!

Gypsy Sweetheart-The latest ear
ring fad is to wear a large metal
hoop on n ear. Gives you a sort-a
one-sided look and brings out the
gypsy in you.
Tickets, Please-Every time your
date takes you to the movies, be
sure to save the ticket stubs. When
you have a good-sized collection,
mount them on pieces of cardboard,
cut to fit, and string them into a
necklace. Cover them with color
less nail polish. of course, to pre-
serve them. Write the name of the
boy who took you on the back of
each cardboard, if you really want
to be a show-off.
Keep Cool-One of the popular
new gadget pins (dime store va

ice tongs holding a plastic cube of
ice. Pin it on your lapel and give
him the cold shoulder!

them; secondly, we want to get them
repaired and back in action for our
selves right away.
The job of an ordnance evacuation
company is often frightening, al
though this company's casualties
have been amazingly low. In fact
they've had only four and it's still
a mystery what happened to them.
The four left ont day in a jeep,
just on a normal trip. They didn't
come back. No trace could be found.
Three weeks later two Of them came
Unjust discharged from a hospital.
On the same day a letter came from
the third-from a hospital in Eng
land. Nothing yet has been heard
from the fourth.
And the strange part is that
neither the two who returned nor
the one who wrote from Eng
land can remember a thing
about it. They were just riding
along in their jeep and the next
thing they woke up in a hospital.
All three were wounded, but how
they don't know. Friends sup
pose it was a shell hit.
At any rate, a sergeant in charge
Of M section Of the mammoth NOV
ers, known as M-19s. took me around
to see some of his crewmen. They
all 60 by the name Of The Diesel
Boys"
Their vehicle is simply a gigantic
truck with a long, skeletonized trail
er behind.
Like all our army over here they
were strung out around the hedge
rows of the field under camouflage
nets. with the middle grassy fields
completely empty.
My friend was Sgt. Milton Rad
cliff of Newark. Ohio. He used to be
a furnace operator there. He and all
the other former employees still get
a letter every two weeks from the
company, assuring them their jobs
will be there when they return. And
Radcliff, for one. is going to take
his when he gets back.
Sgt. Vann Jones of Birmingham,
Ala, crawled out of his tent and sat
Indian fashion on the ground with
us. On the other side of our pasture
lay the silver remains of a transport
plane that had come to a mangled
despair on the morning of D-day.
IT was a peaceful and sunny
evening, quite in contrast to
most of u days, and we sat on
the grass and watched the sun
60 down in the east, which we
all agreed was a hell of a place
for the sun to be going down.
Either we were turned around or
France is a funny country.
The other boys told me later
that Sergeant Jones used to be
the company cook, but he
wanted to see more action so he
transferred to the big wreckers
and is now in command of one.
His driver is a smiling, tall young
fellow, with clipped hair. named
Dallas Hudgens from Stonewall, Ga.
He was feeling stuffed as a pig. for
he'd just got a big ham sent him
from home and had been having at
it with a vengeance.
There are long lulls when the re-
triever boys don't have anything to
do besides work on their vehicles.
They hate these periods and get rest
less. Some of them spend their time
fixing up their tents homelike. even
though they may have to move the
next day.
One driver even had a feather bed
he had picked up from a French
family. The average soldier can't
carry a feather bed around with
him. but the driver Of an M-l9 could
carry 10, 900 feather beds and never
know the difference.
The boys are all pretty proud of
their company. They said they did
