SERVICE MEN PROVIDE
ROTARY CLUB PROGRAM

Three service men, Cpl. Campbell
C. Calvert, Pvt. Thomas Hartley
and Lieut.. Oliver Void of the navy,
provided the program Tuesday at
the weekly meeting of the Rotary
club by recounting some of their
war experiences.
Corporal Calvert had served in
New Guinea and the Philippines. He
told of one instance when, as a
member of an airdrome squadron,
his outfit reached the beach of a
Jap-held island off the north coast
of New Guinea two hours ahead of
the infantry. Short of ammunition,
the outfit defended it's beach posi-
ton against attacking Japs. Days
later, after the occupation had been
completed, it was found that remn-
ants of the enemy garrison still
lived in caves and tree tops, coming
out at night to steal food from
American stores. One day a bull
dozer leveling an airstrip uncovered
the hiding place of a Jap who had
just died; his body was still limp
and was not yet blue. The Ameri-
cans did not take prisoners.
Private Hartley served with
American forces in France and
Germany. His outfit was separated
by only a river from the Russians
when the two allies made a juncture
in Germany during the final phases
of the war in Europe. He told of
the bombed cities and towns he had
seen. AS a resident of Laurel, a
railroad center, he observed and
compared European railroad equip
ment with that used in America
and found the foreign transporta-
ton systems tagging so years be-
hind the American standards. Many
the German centers were like the
hub of a wheel with the radiating
rail lines forming the spokes. After
the bombings the centers were
badly wrecked. The first work of
the occupying American forces was
to bridge the gaps with new lines
and get traffic moving through the
.Dottlenecks. Private Hartley re-
turned recently to the States for a
Through before being reassigned.
Lieutenant Void is in navy sup
plies and came from New York on
a leave of a few days. The port of
New York, he said, is a great con-
,ributing factor in the war because
If its immense facilities to store
md handle incoming and outgoing
materials and to expedite the move
nent of army and navy personnel.
its the Ameri-
an war effort would have had to
'esort to other means and locations.
Void told of a number
# his personal observations of the /
,ort at the peak of war activity, |,
tut was not permitted to give some
# the interesting statistical informa-
ion at his command. i
The three speakers responded to '
Iuestions from the Rotarians. +

of winter wheat, produced on dry
land north of the Henry Frank farm
west of Laurel. The first load of
wheat was said to be of good quail
ity.
Shay Brothers delivered new win
ter wheat Tuesday that weighed 81
pounds per bushel, and the first
wheat from south of the Yellow
ston was brought to Laurel by An
ton Cole, who is operating on Rich
ardson property in district No. 81.
The acreage here and elsewhere
in the county is larger this year
than previously, say the grain deal
ers, and it is expected the growing
season which was unusually rainy
and cool will have contributed to
greater yields per acre.
The price at the beginning of the
week vas $1.38 for spring wheat
without protein and about $1.40 for
wheat with the average protein on
tent. Winter wheat with average
protein was $1.35.
1t is believed that harvesting with
combines will be well under way by
the end of the week and that the
work will be in full swing next
week.
A self-propelled combine was be-
ing set up for operation Wednes-
day afternoon at the Metzger ranch
four miles west of Laurel. 1t is
the first unit of the kind to be used
in this immediate vicinity, though
one was employed last year in the
Blue creek territory. 1t provides
its own power for travel and is not
hauled by a tractor. The cutting
said to be done in the forward
part of the machine, without back
swath caused by wheels.

EDITORIAL
BY Gordon De ROsia

The idea of athletics is not for
the winning only but also to train
and build the bodies of young men.
This purpose cannot be accomp-
lished and is defeated by the break
ing of training rules.
You cannot expect your coach to
act as policeman to find every
player who is disregarding his train
ing rules. This would be an impos-
sible task as well as an unpleasant
one for any coach or trainer to per-
form. We feel that staying out until
/ o'clock, smoking before game,
ETC., is not fair to teams coach
or school as well as being detri-
mental to the team itself If the
athletic groups want to be backed
100 per cent by the toWnspeople,
they should train and prove them
selves worthy Of such support So
come on fellows and students-let's
put across district championship
team this yearly playing fair and
