sPRINGTIME in SUSSEX

When spring comes in Sussex
county
You couldn't wish for more,
Then visions of natures bounty
Which we know she has in store.
Wheat fields now are greener
And the peach trees all in bloom
Then the country side is lovely.
Planting time can't come too soon.
Now you plant the garden plot
And hunt the turkeys nest
The fishing hawks come back again
Spring is here with added zest.
The fishman comesl round to your
door
You cook a pot of greens,
And bake a yellow corn pone.
There's a meal for kings and
queens.
You clean your house and rake the
yard,
Make everything nice and neat,
For spring in Sussex county
Is a time that's hard to beat.

SERIOUS SIDE OF SOLDIERS
REFLECTED IN POEM

A Milford soldier writing to I
correspondent in town spoke o
the busy life he was leading, will
time away from flying just Ions
enough to rest and eat. He EN-
closed a poem which he though
expressed the thoughts of many
soldiers in the war area, and he
wished that it might be published
so that the folks back home would
know that religion had a part in
the busy days. The poem was
found on the body of an American
soldier killed in action.

The young ,1O-foot whale whicl
left the ''big pond" eight week
ago for some frolicking in the in
land waters about the Delawar,
Breakwater area. inviting well aim
I ed shots from naval arms, met III
\ ignomorious death in drainage
ditch. John Wilson, an inspector or
mosquito control with the State
Highway Department, has stated
that the young mammal was found
by him and his co-worker wedged
in drainage ditch in the marsh
near Fort Miles, and had apparent
ly been dead some time from two
big wounds in its body. 1T must
have weighed at least 800 pounds, y
he said, because it took seven men
to haul it out to the bank with
ropes. 1t must have been washed
over the tide gate on flood tide in
order to get out of the canal. The
wounds are believed to have been
caused from gun shot by the Fort
Miles Navy unit when il was first
seen outside the mouth of Della
ware Bay, and from a harpoon
stuck in its neck by a twO-man
whaling party shortly after ii ap-
peared off the RehobOth yacht ba-
sin. The Navy had thought it ex-
pedient to take some pot shots at
1t off shore in the event IL was
an enemy decoy. With the finding
of the desiccated body young to
by" becomes the object of renewed
interest as marine collectors
around here are coveting the skel-
eton after it has been denuded of
its Odoriferous flesh.

The following poem was receiv-
ed from Private Charles Wiley of
who is stationed somewhere
in New Guinea:
We've Done Our Hitch In He'll
I'm sitting here and thinking
Of the things l left behind.
And l have put on paper
What is running through my mind.
We've dug a million bitches
And cleared ten miles of ground
A meaner place this side of hell
Is waiting to be found.
But there is one fine consolation
When We die we'll go to heaven,
For us boys in New Guinea
Have done our Hitch in He'll.
We've stood million guard
mounts,
And we've never acted mean
We built million kitchens
For our cook to stew our beans.
We've rolled a million blanket rolls
And washed the captains duds
We've washed a million mess kits
And peeled a million spuds.
The number of parades we've stood
Is very hard to tell
For us boys here in New Guinea
Have done our Hitch in He'll.
We've killed a million bugs
That have crawled from our eats
And we've pulled a million ticks
From our dirty sheets.
We've marched million miles
And built a million camps
The grub we've had sometimes
Has given us the cramps.
But when our work on earth is
over
Our friends behind will tell
they surely went to heaven
For they've done their Hitch i'll
He'll.
When final taps are sounded
And we lay away life's cares
Well do our last parade up those
golden stairs
The angels all will welcome us.
And harps will start to play,
Well draw million canteen
checks
And spend them all one day.
The great Commanding officer
Will smile on us and say,
Come, take first seats, gentlemen,
For the boys from New Guinea
