a green rug on the floor and a big

family pictures - the Generals

famous combat jacket. Behind him

GRAD sat down and asked the
General what his plans were. From
then on he followed Eisenhower
around for six months, covering
10000 miles by plane, car, train
and jeep, into Belgium, Holland,
Luxembourg. France and the heart
of Germany He was the only en-
listed man who could ask bat

invariably got a direct answer.
Grad also sat in on staff con-
ferences, the sort where a full
colonel was a junior officer. But
Sergeant Grad was in on it all. The
General never called him sergeant.
He called him Grad. Grad wore an
officers uniform with no insignia
and a war correspondents patch.
He ate in the officers mess - or
with the General.
One of these meals later turned
out to have been an almost historic
one. Eisenhower was dining with
Gen. Ben Lear in a compartment
of his special train travelling to
Cherbourg early in January. Grad

And that is how Sgt. Jules B. Grad,
of Erie. Pa. started his assignment
of covering" the Supreme Allied
Commander for every newspaper,
news service, and radio station in
the world.
Up until October, every move
the General made was followed by
a large caravan of news sleuths.
When the final drive into Germany
began and everything had to move
at split-second pace, this became
too unwieldy. From then on ,one
man, an enlisted reporter from the
staff of The Stars and Stripes"
covered the General for the world.
That man was Sergeant Grad.

An average of $50 lbs. of pork
per family, or a total of 11O,250
lbs, were stored for home use.
Each year more families are can

Because of the high percentage
of boys from rural areas all over
the U. S., who were unable to
pass the army's rigid physical ex-
animation, due to malnutrition,
every effort should be made to
improve "our way of eating"
Good food must first be produc-

of every Home Supervisor is to

FSA Farmers Make Record
In Food Conservation, Here

"Live-at-home" has been the
slogan preached" by F'SA Super
visors since the origin of the pro-
gram in 1886. Each year in
working out new farm and home
plans, every effort is made to en-
courage families to grow, produce
and conserve sufficient food for
family use throughout the year.
''This is the only way to get
ahead and own little place of
your own" one of the borrowers
stated.
Because Of the purchase of gar
den seed packages through the
local purchasing and marketing
association, many families have
had a better garden, a larger gar
den, and a wider variety of veg
etables for home use.
''Due to the polio epidemic
which ragged throughout the coun-
ty during the past summer, few
er canning demonstrations than
usual were held" stated Miss
Alexander, FSA Home Supervi-
sor. A total of fifteen canning
demonstrations, however, were
held.
Of the 245 families in the coun-
ty, a total of 12O,O5O quarts were
filled-or an average of 400
quarts per family.
1,470 bushels of fruits and veg
etables were dried and stored for
home use.
8,085 bushels of potatoes, ap-
pies, turnips, rutabagas, and other
vegetables were stored.
Approximately 500 or more Of
the families have excellent stor-
age houses with shelves for stor-
ing canned food and bins for

County Is Making Record In School Lunch Program
Farmers Urged
Order Needed
Fertilizer Now
Wartime Conditions Make
Early Orders Necessary
Agent Grouse Says

Farmers who have not already
done so should order their fert-
ilizer now from their usual sup
pliers" says County Agent, R. H.
Grouse.
'The labor shortage in fertilizer
plants is severe and it will be i'm
possible to mix and handle as
much fertilizer as farmers need
unless it can be kept moving from
plant to farm or local warehouse.
''The War Food Administration
estimates that there may be a 10
percent shortage of nitrogen, lar
gely for use in mixed fertilizers,
and a Is percent shortage Of sup
erphosphate, principally for direct
use, but that there is 20 percent
more potash than last year.
"Sulphuric acid is necessary
both for making superphosphate
and explosives and all explosives
contain nitrogen. For m any
months superphosphate producers
were getting a large quantity of
sulphuric acid from Government
Ordnance plants, but this supply
was cut off when the munitions
program was speeded up several
months ago. That means that less
superhosphate can be made and
there is no alternative, for NUM-
tons come first in war.

most of these have to be left out
of the paper.
Here is a poem recently sent
from somewhere in Germany by
Dayton Pennington, who, by the
way, is one of the Ashe county
boys in the 18th Lightning Divi-
sion:"
I'm MY FOX HOLE"
AS I sit in the cold muddy fox
hole,
I am often wondering why
God let's this war continue on,
When thousands of men have
to die.
I have seen them fall dead at my
feet,
i. And from the wounded come
pitiful ,groans,
While we have little time to lend
hand
AS we go pushing on and on.
May God look down on all these
men
AS they fight for freedom they
love;
May those, who never see home
any more,
Find a much better place above.

The average depth of the ocean
is more than miles, but there are
parts which are only a few hundred
feet deep and others with a depth
of well over miles.
We might expect that the farther
we went from shore, the deeper the
water would be- That, however, is
not the case. There are places lin
the middle Of the ocean" which
are far less deep than spots close to
land.
For many hundreds of years, the
best way any one knew to test the
depth OF the sea was to let down
a weight on the end of a line.
That was good enough for shallow
parts Of the sea, but it was hard to
get ropes or wire lines enough to
reach the bottom at deep places.
In the past rs years, much OF
the testing, or sounding" has been
done with the help of echoes. A
noise is made at the surface of
the water, and an instrument is
used to record the echo. The sound
goes to the bottom of the sea, then
comes back.
Sound travels through sea water
at rate Of about 1900 feet a
second. That is almost five times
as fast as sound travels through
air When the echo gets back to
a vessel from deep part of the
ocean, the sound waves are known
to have travelled for certain num-
Der of seconds, and the distance to
the bottom is figured from that
fact.
