FORREST CITY, S. D.-u.D
"A lot of old timers would
like to know what became of
the "petrified men" which put
Forrest City on the map more
than 80 years ago.
In 1891 the scientific world
was amazed at the purported
discovery of q "petrified man"
in the bottom of the Cheyenne
River near here.
The stone man was found"
by William Sutten, a Forrest
City butcher, who later exhib-
tied his find at the worlds fair
in Chicago in 1893.
James Horn, lime-burner
on the Little Cheyenne, spread
the story and a curious group
of townspeople gathered to see
the body removed from its wat
cry grave.
In moving the body, a leg
was broken, revealing q well
preserved human femur, latef
attested to by medics. Lines and
wrinkles in its face indicated
a man of past middle age, with
well-rounded muscles preserved
in solid stone.
Two years later another
"stone man" was unearthed by
Sutten and Horn, which they
announced was for sale.
So much money had been
taken in through display of the
first find at various fairs
throughout the country they
had no trouble finding a buyer.

trader, took an option on the

are obeyed. - Col. B. G. An

Who won the European war?

If we Germany ever have

Corporal John s. Medieros, Four Others To Receive Soldiers Medal For HIeroism

"For heroism at Bradley Field, Connecticut, on 4 August 1944". These words written in cold black and white form the opening sen- tence of the citation bestowed by direction of the President upon five Bradleyites. Of these five men only Cpl. John s. Medieros is still at this Base. In the interim, Sgt. Alvin c. Balser, Cpl. Wilton H. Rob- inson, Cpl. Tony Tavarozzi, Jr., and Pfc. Edward E. Lally, Jr., have changed their mailing address.
 On the evening of August fourth the hospital became the focal point of activity. At approximately 1880 PAY crashed a few hundred yards to the rear of one of the Medical Detachment barracks. The men, about to begin the regular Friday night GI party, secured available fire extinguishers and ran to the scene of the crash. When the first man arrived at the plane there were flames spreading rapid ly around the wreckage and the danger of an explosion was inn minent. The pilot was still in the cockpit and in his semi-conscious- ness was unable to extricate him. self from the burning craft.
 It was then that Medieros and his buddies went into action. These five Medics, with utter disregard for their own safety, clambered on to the burning plane, opened the slide, and carried the pilot to the waiting ambulance.
 In recognition of the splendid action on the part of Cpl. Medireos, Sgt. Balser, Cpl. Robinson, Cpl. Tavarozzi and Pfc. Lally, the Sol- dier's Medal will be presented to these men in the very near future.

G|s With Ideas Have Opportunity to HeIp
 Themselves andA AAF

We aren't asking for much. We don't want your money, your girl friend or even your cigarettes, but we do want your ideas, sugges- tions or, if you happen to be a genius, a little bit of that.
 For many months now it has been the policy of the AAF to en- courage the submission of bene- ficial suggestions by military and civilian personnel on duty with the AAF. Here at Bradley the civvies have been doing good job in passing on ideas that have saved the Government both money and man hours, but we GIs haven't been doing so well.
 There are very few GIs who haven't griped at some time or other about how such and such a job should be done instead of the
