Thomaston, Dec. 29 = Three local soldiers, Corporal Edward Mattoon, Corporal Thomas c. Sanderson and Private First Class George Wilson are serving with the 350th Infantry which recently was highly con- mended for its gallantry in the de- fense of Mt. Battoglia in North Italy through a seven-day enemy counter attack.
 The 350th. a unit of the 88th Blue Devil" division of Lieutenant General Mark w. Clarks Fifth Army was ordered to occupy the mountain and reached it's objective only short time before German infantry men apparently acted or similar orders. The 350th got there first and greeted the Germans with intense fire. It was the start of a week long ferocious battle. Clouds hugged the mountain top conceal ing advancing Germans until they were only a few yards from the de- lenders and much of the fighting was done at range of 50 yards. Six Germans were killed within the Castle that marks the peak of the mountain.
 Attacking two or three times daily the Germans were supported by in- tense accurate concentrations of ar- tillery fire. In three morning and one evening attacks they used flame throwers. One counter attack tenn porarily denied the crest to the 35Oth but the doughboys regained the dominant ground and continued to holdt 1t.
 Brigadier General Paul E. Ken dall, Palo Alto, Cal, commanding general of the 88th Division des- cribed the stand of the 350th as magnificent and paid high tribute to the courage and aggressiveness displayed by every man in the regi- ment.
 Corporals Mattoon and Sanderson and Private First Class Wilson, have been in the same outfit since the time of their induction which was December 3, 1942. They trained at Camp Gruber, Oklahoma and Fort Sam Houston, Texas. They left for overseas duty December T, 1943 and have been in most of the fighting which has taken place in Italy Corporal Mattoon is the son of Mrs Frank Mattoon, Meadow street: Corporal Sanderson is the son of MT. and Mrs. Robert Sanderson, Marine street and Private First Class Wilson is the son of MT. and Mrs. John Wilson, Grand street.

Hay Is Available
To State Farmers
CONTINUED from First PAGE,

Last year after drought. the
government arranged to subsidize
hay shipments by paying the
freight, which amounted to about
one-half the cost of hay purchased
in the Middle West, Mr.. Ocheltree
said. Private dealers are now ar
ranging to obtain supplies of hay
he said. and the AAA is ready to
help anyone locate the hay avail
able.
The conference also discussed
the method to he used this year in
the soil conservation program in
distributing lime. fertilizer and le-
gume seeds. Under an act of Con-
gress, farmers this year will have
tC pay 20 per cent of the cost of
the material used.
Delaware representative recon-
mended that the purchase order"
plan be used. Under this system,
the farmer obtains purchase or
der from the AAA. based on his
crop acreage, and takes 1t to his
dealer where he obtains the soil
conservation materials and pays
the 20 per cent. The dealer then
collects the balance from the AAA.
Glover seed distribution is being
handled under that plan now.
The conference made no decision
on the question.
