Three Duront Boys
On USS Pennsylvania

Three Durant boys are members
of the crew of the USS P%ennsylva-
MIA: Ensign James Gordon Allen,
William C. Martin, Jr., and Earl
DoWner.
The many friends of these boys
will be interested in the following
story concerning their ship and its
part in the war with Japan. We
quote:
1.-THE ship they once called the
luckiest battle wagon in the fleet,
the USS Pennsylvania, greeted the
dawn of peace with her stern low
in the water and her crew fighting
to keep her afloat. Her luck had run
out suddenly and tragically two
nights previously when a lone Jap
plane pressed home an attack which
opened a gaping death strewn hole
in the Pennsy's side. So as the voice
of her Skipper, Captain w. M. Moses,
USN, told the Pennsy's crew of ia
pans surrender there was no wild
%jubilation, no noisy rejoicing such
as occurred on many other ships.
There was instead a quiet feeling OF
joyful relief tempered with sorrow
for those ship mates who had given
their lives when peace was so near
ly won. There was reverence too, as
tired men at pumps and guns and In
water soaked compartments bowed
their heads in a moment of silent
prayer for those who had lost their
lives in this war; then turned dog
gedly again to the task of repairing
the ship which had carried them
safely through nearly four years OF
The Pacific war. From the beginning
the Pennsylvania had been consider
ed a lucky ship. She was in drydock
at Pearl Harbor on December z
l941 and received only two minor
bomb hits while her sister battle
ships all about her were heavily
damaged. After being regunned she
steamed back into the war and play
ed a vital role in thirteen Pacific
amphibious operations.
From the fog Shrouded waters OF
Attu to the death laden CULTS OF
Leyte and Lingayen in the Philip
pines the guns of the big "P" rained
death and destruction on the Japs
1t is believed hat she fired more
tons of ammunition than any other
ship in naval history. She fought off
Kamikaze attacks by the score, but
on the night Of August 18th, as her
crew talked happily of the peace fol-
which they had fought SO long, q
Jap torpedo plane inflicted the first
major damage the ship had received
since Pearl Harbor. Today the dang
er is passed and the Pennsy will sail
again. Her crew is disappointed that
} her wounds will prevent her from
steaming triumphantly with the

On the USS WASP off Tokyo
Charlie B. Edwards, seaman, first
class, USNR, West, Miss, is serving
on this aircraft carrier in the 3rd
Fleets victory cruise.
However, the WASP's record
week, March 1920, still is the main
topic of conversation. The ship took
a 5OO-pound bomb through the flight
deck, suffering 102 casualties. With
in so minutes she was ready to
launch her planes.
In that week the WASP and her
planes shot down IA aircraft and
destroyed six on the ground, scored
two 50O-pound bomb hits on each
of two enemy carriers, dropped two
1,OO0-pound bombs on a battleship

Corn WeeviIs May
Be Avoided and
With Small Cost

Corn weevils cause Holmes coun-
ty farmers to lose thousands of dol
lars worth Of corn every year. This
could be avoided with a little pre-
caution and at a small cost, says
County Agent l. w. Carson. who
gives the following directions:
Clean out the corn crib before
starting to harvest the crop and line
it with Sisalkraft paper or some 9TH
err good material. After the corn has
been placed in the crib, purchase a
supply of carbon disulphide (high
life) and put it in open vessels on
top Of the corn pile. The fumes CIV
en- off are heavier than air and will
60 downward. Not only will this. kill
weevils, but it will likewise do away
with the rats and mice.
MI. Carson says there is a great
er need not to treat corn than in
past years because a number OF
farmers are now using hybrid corns
These are much softer than the open
pollinated varieties we have been
using in the past and weevils will
destroy these softer corns even be-
fore they are harvested.
In using carbon disulphide, he
warned be sure not to strike a match
or have any fire around it when il
is giving off fumes for it is very
inflamable.

HAZEL
EYES
~ HAZEL

This is an appeal on behalf of the
National War Fund drive which is
now getting underway in Holmes
county.
II you are satisfied with the con-
tribution you have made to the war
effort and think you have no further
duty or obligation to our servicemen
and others less fortunate than your
self, then this is not for you. But if
you realize there is still much to be
done and for some time to come we
believe you will want to do your
part.
The National War Fund is the one
organization which represents the
eighteen national agencies aiding
our servicemen and helping our AL
lies. Included in these agencies are
the USO, United Seamen's Service,
Var Prisoners Aid, Relief for China,
Philippines, and many others less
fortunate than ourselves.
There are still thousands of Amer
lean servicemen abroad marking
time to come home. The need for
the USO will be greater there than
ever before. Thousands Of ships are
manned to bring these men home.
Thus the need for Seaman's Aid re-
mains. Morale building help will be
given to thousands Of young men in
hospitals throughout this country
who will be patients for many
months to come in their fight for a
return to normal.
All Of this must be done in addi-
ton to the help given our Allies
through the various relief agencies
The need has not been lessened
with the cessation of fighting. Rath-
er it has multiplied.
We are certain that once the peo-
pie Of Holmes county realize these
facts that contributions will be gen.
erous and our goal will be met with
in a very short while. We didn't fall
short in one single war drive. Ger
tainly we will keep up our good
work as long as there is need.
