Missing Officer
Won Bonus For
Creating Tomato

Mrs. William C. Warfield, the for
mer Mary Linn McIntire, recently re-
ceived a check for $500 from the w.
Atlee Burpee company, in apprecia-
ton of the creative work done by her
husband in creating the Golden Boy
or Jubilee Tomato that has made
quite hit throughout the country.
The check was originally sent to her
husband, Lieut.. Warfeld, who was
with a replacement company in the
European theatre and who has been
missing in action since the Battle of
the Bulge early last December. The
letter was returned to David Burpee,
president of the company, who re-
mailed it to Mrs. Warfeld.
In the letter Mr. Burpec declared
the tomato developed by Lieut.. War
field, who prior to his entrance into
the armed forces was a plant breeder
for the company at the FordhoOk
farms near Philadelphia, was the
most outstanding new tomato Of any
kind introduced in recent years.
Warfeld specialized in new kinds
of tomatoes, beans and peppers. Mr..
Burpee said it was the custom of the
company to make bonus payments to
originators of outstanding new va
rieties and expressed his deep regret
over the fact that it was not possible
for the original letter to reach the
person addressed.
Lieut.. and Mrs. Warfeld arc the
parents of two children, Linn, who is
in his second year in grade school, and
Paula, daughter, five years old.

Chestnut Burrs
On Backbone Mt.

Harry S. Mickey, of Loeb Lynn, and
director Of the Oakland Band, brought
in a number of chestnut burrs last
Saturday which he had discovered on
young chestnut trees somewhere on
Backbone mountain.
That chestnut burrs are somewhat
of a curiosity to the younger genera
ton was made plain when Mr.. Mickey
brought them to The Republican
office. A fifteen year-old high school
student asked, "What are those
things?"
Since last Saturday other farmers
who have called at the office have said
the burrs seem to be plentiful on the
young trees. When the trees get ten,
twelve or fifteen feet high, they are
affected with the blight which prac-
tically took all of the old trees about
twenty years ago.

Tells of Escape
From Jap Ambush
Bloomington Marine Recuperat-
ing In cambridge Hospital

Pfc. Albert A. Fickes, Marine Corps
veteran of Bloomington, who was in
jured during a hair-breadth escape
from japanese ambush on Guam, is
recuperating in the U. S. Naval Hos
pltal at cambridge.
Fickes, 35, and the father of six
children, tells this story:
"After a couple months of patrol
duty on Guam, our division Ord Di-
vision, 21st Marines), was called upon
to be the Floating Reserve Division
off Two Jima. We stood by off Two for
a few days, then were recalled to
Guam to subdue uprsings caused by
remaining Japs hiding in the hills.
"While on patrol one day, our squad
was ambushed and two men wounded
The Japs closed in from all sides. |
remained up front with two other
men to draw fire, which enabled the
remaining members of the patrol to
evacuate the wounded. We held out as
long as possible before withdrawing
AS we fell back, two Japs opened fire
from our right flank. Our only posi-
BILE way of escape was over a small
cliff.
"When l jumped off the cliff,
landed on my knees. In doing so, | in
jured the knee which had previously
fractured. Being unable to run, |
rolled down the hill. My buddies were
waiting for me and got me back safe
ly. If it wasn't for their help, l prob
ably would have been captured by the
Japs."
From Guam, Fickes was returned
to the U. S. Naval Receiving Hospital
in San Francisco where he remained
ten days before being transferred to
cambridge.
The Maryland Marine enlisted in
1914. After completing boot training
at Paris Island, S. c., he was as
signed to the U. S. Naval Ammunition
Depot in Charleston, S. C. While on
duty there he fractured his knee, an
injury that later was to give him
the closest call of his life. After being
discharged from the Charleston Naval
Hospital, he did duty at the Navy
Yard there for a year and then re-
ceived overseas training at New
River, N. c. He served four months
overseas.
