Mrs. Messer Talks

Applying the old New England
proverb "Use it up-wear it out
make it do" to furniture, Mrs. Allie
Messer demonstrated before the
Laytonsville Homemakers Club,
meeting at the home of Mrs. A. v.
Hines on Wednesday, many ways
of making it do" The demonstra,
tion was one of the most interest
ing ever given this club. Mrs,
Messer had spent much time and
care in preparing posters to show
the methods by which old furni-
ture, plus elbow-greese, a little
paint or carpentering work, could
be made to look better than when
new. Encouragement Of furniture
was also shown. Mrs. Dillon B

club.

PELELIU, Palau Island (Delayed) /.
Pfc. George M. Tuel, le-year -old
marine from Washington, D. O., has
an unusual and dangerous Job. AS
a scout and observer, one Of his
tasks is to ride the top OF Gen.
Sherman medium tanks and direct
their fire into anemy pillboxes.
There isn't much to It," this
slightly built boy told me. II spend
most of my time at the observation
post and try to remember which
caves and pillboxes the Japs are
shooting from. Then, when our
tanks move up, I climb onto the
back OF the tllrret and point out the
troublemakers to the tank comman-
der. The driver and gunner do
the rest"
The tanks make inviting targets
for Jap artillery, mortars and ma
chine guns, and each ride into ac-
ton is spiced by hail Of enemy fire.
Pvt. Tuel takes pride in the ac-
complishments OF the Sherman
tanks-especially the ones he directs.
They knocked out six pillboxes
one day." he related, "and our tank
got four of them"
Pvt. Tuel landed on the coral
bound beach of this enemy fortress
under a hail of enemy mortar shells
and has been in hot water ever
since. The amtrac in which he
rode to the beach was hit by mortar
fire just as it stopped. One man was
killed, but Pvt. Tuel was on the
other side OF the tractor.
During the battle for Suicide
Ridge, he was sitting in his observa-
ton post, when he heard a call for
stretcher bearers from an adjoining
coral elevation. He went up with a
corpsman. They found a wounded
marine who had already been placed
on a stretcher and started to
carry him down.
Two other fellows came up to
help u.s." he related, "but one of
them was wounded just as he
reached us. Ten feet further along
We stumbled. The corpsman didn't
get up. I started to shake him and
saw a bullet hole through his head.
Then I saw that the man on the
was dead, too"
He told of a group of Japs who
were causing a lot of trouble with
mortars from a high peak. Rifle
men opened up on them, but
couldn't do much good. A tank was
called into action and blasted the
top of the hill.
That really stopped them," he said.
Pvt. Tuel Is the son Of Mr.. and
