since late November.
Althaus' letter of description from
Wesiaco, Texas, follows: There are
many other Buckeyes in the valley
and since it is customary here for
birds of a feather to flock together
we fiocked with the others for a
Christmas dinner. The sun was out
all day and the temperature was 80.
ut is impossible to comprehend the
abundance of fresh fruit and vege-
tables shipped out from this garden
spot of the world altho at present
there is serious shortage of refrig-
orator cars to meet the demand.
Several packing houses and juice
canning plants are located here.
After extraction of the juice the
hulls of citrus fruits are dried and
ground into pulp which is sold as
feed for cows.
"Mexicans employed as field work
ers have their own quarters across
the railroad, including schools and
cemeteries. Their cemeteries are in
teresting. The first time Mrs. Alt
haus and / approached one we were
surprised by the abundance and
freshness of the flowers. On closer
inspection, however, we saw that
they were treated with parafine,
both the real and those made of
paper.
"Most of the markers are of con-
crete in the form of cross. Re-
cessed behind glass in most of them
is picture of the deceased. Toys
are often placed on the graves of
children.
There are no bananas this sea
son because of frost, but we have
string beans, cabbage, beets, turnips,
caulifiower, broccoli, tomatoes, car
rots and parsley by the ton. Grape
fruit, oranges, tangerines and lines
are still on the trees, as well as
Ponderosa lemons weighing two and
one-half pounds and 16 inches in
circumference.
"Opossums are plentiful and nui-
sance, for they thrive on oranges,
leaving nothing but the empty hulls.
Eggs are go cents a dozen, for the
hens have been on strike"
Althaus, who was in the job print
ing business at Ashland, Ohio, went
to Texas this winter for his health.

Boy Scout troops mark them among
the most active in this district, with
two of the last years projects tying
in with the war program.
One of the high marks of the year

of paper shortage. In addition,
the Scouts participated in gathering
milk weed floss used in packing life

Heavy anti-aircraft fire that greet
ed American bombing formations in
their assault on the German Ruhr
earned the name"Flak Happy Valley
for the area. according to 1t. Harold
Peterson. son of Mr.. and Mrs. E. Z.
Peterson. of Bluffton.
The son of the local residents now
is at Miami Beach, Fla, for rest and
reassignment. after making 80 bomb
ing missions on a B-24 Liberator from
an English base. Before going to
Florida, he spent a 21-day furlough
with his wife and baby son in Ada.
He went overseas June 1, 1914.
1t. Peterson was commissioned a
bombardier, but served in that ca
pacity only on two of 35 missions.
On 33 missions he was navigator.
The lieutenant attributed the eff
fectiveness of the crew that manned
the Liberator to the team work, con-
sistent high spirits and respect each
man had for the ability of his crew
mates. This held particularly true on
the Goth mission.

sprayed gasoline from the tanks, was
unable to loosen the chute which was
dragging him off the icy catwalk.
The radio operator seeing his crew.
mans plight went to his aid and sue
ceeded in freeing him from the chute.
With the engineer and radio man
back in the plane came the realiza-
ton that the spare chute had been
left behind. Realizing that the order
to "hit the silk" might come at any
time another member of the crew and
the engineer had arranged a piggy
back ride down.
Makes Crash Landing
The plane was then over Belgium
and headed for nearby field. On
arriving they found the runways full
and proceeded to a nearby English
landing strip. A crash landing was
made that destroyed the plane but no
member of the crew was seriously
injured.
For the successful navigation of
this mission, 1t. Peterson was award
ed his fifth Oak Leaf Cluster. The
English took the crew to an American
field from where they were flown to
their English base. Arriving al
their base they found their belongings
packed and ready to be shipped home
which meant the crew would have
soon been listed as missing.
1t. Peterson has the Distinguished
Flying Cross, Air Medal and -Four
Oak Leaf cutters in addition to the
fifth cluster awarded him on the 26tf
mission.

many leaders continued their lower
drift.
Encouraging to bullish contingents
was the fact that offerings never
were urgent. Many customers stood
aside because of the Forthcoming
lengthy recess. Investors also were
cautious owing to the belief that
correction fthe sharp advance still
had to be completed Worries over
price ceilings and labor disputes as
|reconversion handicaps inspired
some selling. Dividends, earnings
and the outlook for large-scale con-
|sumer demand served to prop senti-
ment.
From the start dealings were neg
ligible and weakness was a rarity.
There were individual comebacks
near the close and final prices were
only slightly mixed. Transfers of
around 100000 shares were among
the smallest of the month.

When We took off from Okinawa
this morning new airports there
were swarming with the greatest
concentration of transports ever as
sembled in the Pacific.
This intermediate stop between
the Philippines and Japan was
loaded with planes arriving and de-
parting for north and south, shut
Ting men and materials forward for
the occupation.
Jap ENJOYS Impressed.
Almost overnight Kadena Airport
readied for B-29 operations, was
transformed into an emergency base
for giant Douglas Skymasters sum-
moned from the States and far
flung divisions of the Air Transport
Command in the North Atlantic
Pacific, North Africa, India and
China.

bal mobility goes forward under
the supervision of the Pacific di-
vision, Maj. Gen. William Ord Ryan,
and the commander of the South
west Pacific wing, Brig. Gen. E. H.
Alexander, based at Manila.
Leaving Kadena, the coral run
ways, taxiways and hardstands be-
meath us glittered with great silver
ships and motors drummed like
thunder where some 200 four-en-
gined transports were staging for
the big push north.
In addition, other fields contained
hundreds of carrier transports buz-
zing with activity. There included
more than a dozen landing areas
which so impressed the Emperor's
ENJOYS when they flew low over
Okinawa on the way to Manila.
At Kadena, 7,5O0-foot runways
had just been completed and were
receiving the first 80 B-29s from
the 316th Bomb Wing based on the
Marianas when Japan's sudden
capitulation shifted the need from
bombers to transports and by Au-
gust Is the first cargo passenger
ships were assembling from the four
quarters.
BY night and day they droned in
and landed with extra flight crews
and air mechanics-two and a hall
fight crews and five maintenance
men per ne-along with supplies
and ground equipment.
Men slept in planes or under
wings, ate K rations and worked
around the clock erecting specia
tower, providing ground transport
between dispersed parking stands
and establishing priorities and traf-
fic control.
With all in readiness for dispatch
ing the vast air armada from the

principal limiting factor today was
Japan's poverty of landing areas
and ability of our engineers head

short intervals.

ufacturers, free of any serious re-

At least 10000, 900 pairs of ration
type shoes may be made each month
he estimated, and perhaps $4,000, 600
pairs a month. With the addition
of slippers and miscellaneous types,
the equivalent annual production
would be 480,0O0,000 pairs, COM

This type of service had to be

1t really amounted ito a dual bank

The Government yesterday lifted

tions little wool is expected to 60

agency is committed to buy all wool

June 80, 1916. This is above the
price of foreign woods now readily
available to manufacturers.
