Greeting Card Travels
100000 Miles in IA Trips

When serviceman in Iceland sent
a Christmas card to w. C. Ferber,
Geological Survey employe, he didn't
know what he was starting.
Mr.. Ferber, who received the
greeting for Christmas, 1s43, decided
to find out how many miles the
card could travel. So he began
mailing it to his friends in the serv-
ice. They, in turn, signed their
names, the date and where they
were at the time they received the
little blue and white card from Ice
land wishing them seasons greet
ings and merry Christmas" and
forwarded it back each time to the
Washington sender.
Last week Mr.. Ferber's card re-
turned to his home at 1916 E street
NE, for the 14th time. He
added up the mileage and estimates
it has travelled over 100000 miles.
1t has been mailed to Tunisia,
Puerto Rico. British Isles, Germany
New Guinea, Hawaii, France, San
Francisco and New York, sometimes
twice. It's last trip was to the Phil
ippines. Mr.. Ferber said he would
continue sending his card in hopes
that someday it will return with a
Tokyo poStmark.

Much publicity has been given to
the new chemicals for controlling
insects and diseases. Few of them
are available on the market and the
reports still indicate that we have
much to learn in the timing and
methods of application. DDT, the
powerful insecticide, is not avail
able. Dithane, a new fungicide that
is claimed to be superior to Bor-
deaux is in the commercial trial
stage. A potent weed killer is now
on the market under a trade name
but has not been widely tried by
the home gardener as yet. There are
others, no doubt, which will make
tomorrow's job easier.
The heavy rains of recent weeks
have done some harm as we'll as
good. The subsoil moisture is back
to normal after a dry spring, but
the heavy rains washed away much
good soil and ruined some gardens.
Permanent gardens should be ter
raced to conserve moisture and to
protect the soil. Heavy rains are
to be expected in this area almost
every year and we should be pre-
pared for them.

Marines Dog Earns
D. {. Medic's Care

This is the story of dog-a devi
dog named Boy-who was wounded
in action after saving three Marine
patrols from Jap ambushes.
On one of the first patrols into the
Okinawa hills, the jet-black Dober-
man pinscher, as always, was leading
the column. Suddenly he froze,
alerting his handler and the rest of
the column.
Thirty yards up trail the Marines
surprised Sap patrol, killing three.
Boy was at the lead when G Com
pany Of the 1st Marine Division
started into the Okinawa hills. This
time Boy didn't freeze. He didn't
have time. The Japs were too close.
Instead, he broke loose from Corpl
Harold Flagg and raced into thick
underbrush ahead.
The men had taken cover before
enemy fire opened up. but Boy was
still racing forward. And he kept
going forward-until a Jap bullet
split the muscle of his left shoulder
The enemy gun position, however
was wiped out and the surviving
Japs fed, leaving two dead behind
Boy was placed on a stretcher and
carried by Marine rif1emen from the
wooded ravine, according to a Ma
rine Corps combat correspondent s
dispatch from Okinawa. He was
loaded into an ambulance and re-
turned to an emergency aid station
where four members of the Marine
company stood by as 1t. Charles F.
Hill, Navy doctor, of 22o8 Tunlaw
road NV, treated Boy.
Take good care of him, doc" one
of the rif1emen said to the Washing
ton medic, land make sure he's
tagged with a no duty slip when
he's evacuated. He's earned a rest. u
Boy was loaned to the Marine
Corps by his owner, w. D. Cayton OF
Dayton, Ohio. There are other dogs
from other cities and other States
who each day are aiding and saving
the lives of men in the armed forces.

BY Marine Corps Combat Correspondent

All day long, Marine I'd 1t. Bruce

and waited for the Jap to fire again
At dusk the vigil ended. 1t. Will

quickly cleaned the bore of his gun
When he finished" 1t. Williams
said, "he went back inthe cave and
closed a camourhaged gate behind
him. 1t fitted the contour of the
bluff so perfectly you simply
couldn't see his emplacement."
But by that time, the Marines
didn't have to see it. In few Sec
onds, the spotter brought artillery
to bear. The entire side of the cliff
was knocked of-including the Jap,
his ammunition, and the antitank
gun with a clean bore.
