Memorial For County Service Men Urged By Legion Post

Although a memorial for Dick
enson County's dead in World
War II has been discussed at odd
times, no actual plans have been
made. In order to try and direct
these discussions into the prop
err channel so that direct action
may be had toward the erection
of some building or monument to
the war dead, the Dickinson
County Post American Legion
has offered the following resolu-
ton:

Veteran of World
War Ii Dies In
Hospital Here

Andy Troy Mullins, So veter-
an of World War II, died Mon
day in the hospital here from the
effects of injuries received in the
South Pacific with the army.
He entered the army in June,
1943, and after a few months in
training camp was sent to the
South Pacific, where he served
with a combat outfit. The injur-
les that proved fatal to him were
suffered in New Guinea. In
handling a barrel of gasoline, he
overdid himself causing rup-
ture of the heart. He was taken
to an army hospital in New
Guinea, and from there to the
Hawaiian Islands, and when able
to stand the trip, was brought
back to the army hospital at Hot
Springs, Ark. He was given a dis
charge from the army at that
place and came home about one
month ago to spend his final days
among friends and relatives. 1t
was said that he was told by
army doctors that his case was
hopeless.
Funeral services were held on
Wednesday forenoon at the home
of Ballard Vanover, near Clint
wood, and burial was in the old
company" graveyard near the
mouth of Brush Creek in the af-
ternoon. Religious services were
conducted by Elders Ballard Bak
er and Francis Hubbard of
Pound.
He is survived by his father,
Elder Sherman Mullins; the wild
oW, Allene Price Mullins; one
daughter by former marriage,
and the following brothers and
sisters: Mrs. Agnes Vanover,
Mrs. Vassie NJ. Phipps, Mrs. Pal
estine Mullins, Mrs. Lexie Price
and Coy Mullins, of the army.
One brother, Bonnie Mullins,
was killed in action in Italy and
another, Coy Mullins, is now in
an army camp in Georgia after
two Or more years service in the
Far East.

HE'S DEAD, HE SAYS

George Bryant, good citizen of
the Bear Pen section, came in
early Wednesday morning crav-
ing some mention in the paper.
Local officers, he said, could not
find him, and as an acommoda-
ton he had come in to give up.
He wished to inform all his
friends through the paper that he
was no longer in the land of the
living. Though probably dead in
trespass and sin, as the preacher
would say, he appeared very
much alive in body as he headed
toward the county boarding
house in care of deputy Tiv
Fleming.

FitsgeraiRs Win
.OUer wayne AZ

Fitzgerald Realty won their sec
ond game in three starts Friday,
when they travelled to Wayne to
take an exciting IL inning ball game
from Wayne Recreation 4 to 2.
Joe Torolski, Fitzgerald right field
er, broke up the game with a single
over second base, scoring Dave Small
and Jimmy Williams with the win
ming runs. Torolski also made the
fielding gem of the game when he
made a "somersault" catch of a
short fly ball into right field In
the eleventh inning.
Fitzgerald's Ignatius Pierzynowski
allowed fives hits and struck out
II opposing Wayne batters.
Wayne opened the scoring in the
fourth with two runs, but held it
for only short time as the Fitz-
gerald team came back with two
runs in the fifth and the winning
runs in the twelfth.

Sport Shots-hary Willow

The Roosevelt High Junior Four
coached by Joe McCrea really did
a swell job. These kids got In there
and really turned on the heat. The
kids had q big lead at the half and
coming into the finish Crosse Point
tried but they had not the stuff to
cope to gun.
This Is the bad part Of the meet
for Wyandotte-the Mount Carmel
eight were right In there at the
half and with swell chance to be
q winner but-the faulty equipment
that these kids had-in other words
the boat was just q short way from
the scrap heap-the wheels broke
on the seat Of No. S and phooey-
there went the race. At the finish
another seat had only three wheels
so how can q crew win with junk
like that.
It looks like this TO me-we have
boat club-we have the boys-we
have the spirit to win-right In our
city-so why In the name of COM
mon sense don't we have the proper
equipment for our oarsmen. It Is
about time that the price Of a good
eight shell was donated to the club.
Why-couldn't the city Of Wyan-
dotte kick In enough of the long
green for a boat. Enough adver-
Using for the city would more than
repay the money spent. With all the
gratis work that followers of the
sport are doing it Is only right that
enough money should come In to
equip the boys with the right stuff
so-that they viii want to win in
a big way to help the spirit that
winner will give to the boys who
are, doing all of the gratis work.
Coming back from the races Sat-
urday-I rode In a boat that Fred
Bashore was handling-he was tow
ing the bum eight and the four was
tied on this big boat-way back In
the eight sitting In the coxswain
seat was Bill Parch. Bill was back
there to steer the thing. Now for
the folks who have not been on
the river-some of the boats can
dish out a big swell-so Bill had q
wet and rough time back there
when he docked we looked at Bill
and from now on we have decided
that we can call Bill-Wet Drawers
Parch.
One sad guy-Ed Kalisiewicz. Ed
had every right to feel bad-the
boat let him-his crew and all the
followers Of his boys down. think
Ed that there is new boat some
place for guys like you and your
