IN GERMANY B - NO It s
about the waning days Of the Eu.
ropean war.
Eleventh hour attempts by Ger.
man army personnel to surren-
der to Americans on the banks
OF the Elbe river before the Rus
slams reached them brought forth
some fantastic situations.
One such came about when
Yank commanders refused to &C.
ce2t Wehrmacht surrenders I'm
less the enemy units involved
crossed to our side. H.
With the bridges knocked out.
this created terrific jams. The
result was that many German
soldiers would came up to the
eastern bank during the day and
try to &c across in boats or on
one small foot bridge. They would
drop their arms in big piles some
distance back, but when night
approached and they still were
unable to cross the river, many
of them went back. picked up
their arms and returned to help
fight off the Russians during the
night.
Since we were not policing the
eastern side it was impossible to
spot those engaged in such tao
tics and the commanders chose
not to open fire on all the as
semb1ed thousands since most OF
them never stopped seeking to
surrender.
Similar unusual occurances de-
veloped out of our refusal to per.
nit German civilians to come
across the river under any cor
cumstances, other than those
wounded during battles or those
caring for them.
CT sharpshooters were posted
on the western bank for the sole
purpose Of discouraging those
stubborn enemy civilians who
sought to cross despite the rules.
The boys had orders to be pref
ty hard-boiled about this bust
ness and for the most part they
were. In one instance they &C.
tually picked up a German civilian
who had crawled up the bank
after swimming the river and
tossed him back. He had to swim
back.
Several frau1eins hit on a neat,
if somewhat immodest trick. Com.
ling down to the waters edge they
calmly stripped, plunged in and

Sneed The War Bond Drive

The New Hanover county quota IN the sew
.nth War Loan campaign, officially opening
todav. is s5.167,000. The money is here, not
only to reach the goal but to pile up con-
siderable surplus. It could be subscribed with
in the short span of "a hours if everybody, that
is every individual and firm, could reach the
post Office and the banks and wherever else
bonds are available and be waited on.
This would be splendid achievement, but
cannot be done because much OF the money to
be raised will have to 60 through payday al
lotments and other processes which involve
slow, if assured, handling. At the same time
it is worth while to point out that, whereas the
people Of this county have always gone well
over the top in war loan campaigns, and GER
spontaneous outpouring Of private funds, with
many purchases delayed until the last minute.
It will be vastly to New Hanover county S
and Wilnaington's credit this time to get the
last available dollar into headquarters well in
advance Of closing day.
With large American armed forces in the
Pacific and desperate war to be won there,
it will put new energy build up greater morale,
among the men who are fighting so valiantly
for victory over the japanese if they have this
evidence that we at home are solidly backing
them up with our earnings and doing all that
we can to get our dollars speedily into action
for their support.
We have an enviable record Of passing war
bond goals. Let us establish an equally en-
viable record now Of passing the goal substan-
TALLY well ahead of the campaigns end.

The folks who worked OFT this
better way of milking did not intend
to speed up the actual rate of OPERA

with warm water starts the milk
flowing. This means you'll get the
same amount of milk in less tine

Moving" your hair may not pro-
duce better brainwork, but clipping
your pastures will surely bring more
dollars in milk.
The Mississippi Experiment Sta
ton has just reported on a test
which showed conclusively that q
pasture whichis moved will produce
more food per acre than pastures in
which weeds are permitted to grow
without check. Weeds do their best
to get the food out of the ground
before grass can get it.
Mississippi moved only part:
of a pasture and then checked
the amount of forage grazed. The
cattle took SO% of the forage
from the moved area, but only
5O% from the unmowed part.
The test showed cows got 1000
lbs. more forage per acre from the
clipped area than from the unclipped.
Naturally enough, the greater
amount of food produced more milk.
The time to NOW your pasture is
about the same as the time to get
haircut-when it is needed. When
weeds begin to get some heighth,
and particularly before they start to
go to seed, then is the time to get
the mower into the pasture. You'll
get dividends in more milk.

Jones.
She was married on September
Is, 1888 to George Washington
Gilley, who preceded her in death.
Four children were born to this
union: c. E. Gilley, of Davey, w.
Va; Mrs. Effie Jones and Mrs.
w. F. Mccullough, of Clifton; and
Clint R Gilley, of Warrensville.
She also leaves Is grandchildren,
nine great-grandchildren' and the
following sisters and brothers.:
Mrs. Hugh Little, of Clifton; Mrs.
Mollie Dollar, of Smethport; Mrs.
Ellen Parsons, Warrensville; R. l..
Jones and Roy Jones, of Clifton.
She was converted at the age
of IA and was first united with
the Northern Methodist church,
but later moved her membership
to the Clifton Methodist Episco-
pal Church South. She has often
said that the happiest day of her
life was when she was converted.
Mrs. Gilley had been in poor
health for the past three years.
After she became unable to attend
church she enjoyed listening to
the sermons on the radio. The
ones she liked best were Sweet
Hour of Prayer, and "The Cadle
Tabernacle Program" Her health
became worse about two weeks
before her death and she was only
partially conscious during that
time. She died at $50 p. m. on
Sunday.
Her favorite song was "When
the Saints Go Marching In I
believe her sentiment has been
expressed very beautifully in
Tennyson's "Crossing The Bar:
Sunset and evening star,
And one clear call for me!
And may there be no moaning of
the bar,
When I put out to sea.
But such tide as moving seems
asleep,
Too full for sound and foam,
When that which drew from out
the boundless deep,
Turns again home.
Twilight and evening bell
And after that the dark!
And may there be no sadness of
farewell,
When / embark.
"And though from out our bourne
of time and place,
The flood may bear me far,
I hope to see my pilot face to face,
When I have crossed the bar"

granddaughter.
