Good luck to you Eddie, and
thanks again for the one peso, and
ten centavos notes you sent
through the kindness of your good
mother.
While in the process of writing
this column, President Truman has
issued his proclamation concerning
v. E. Day as having been achieved
by the United Nations in the Eu-
ropean Theatre of Operations.
Even though the people of the
United States have been waiting
for weeks to hear our President
make this official announcement,
and even though everyone here is
overjoyed to learn that this por-
tion of our war has been conclud-
ed, few persons are in what might
be termed a celebrating mood.
Here in Smyrna and Clayton, plac-
es of business were closed, and the
doors of our churches opened so
that members of this community
might express their feeling, of joy
through prayers. Your editor fail
ed to note one single instance
where our people were out cele-
brating. After President Truman's
proclamation this morning, it left
little to celebrate. We all fully
realize that the war in the Pacific
is not to be taken lightly, and we
are determined to bend every ef-
fort to back the Boys cut there to
the utmost. Therefore, until such
a time as the nation of Japan is
forced into accepting the terms OF
unconditional surrender, our Coun-
try is at war, and our people will
continue their support with the
one goal in mind-Final Victory
Until this is achieved, there will be
no celebration. That is the way
most of us in this little community
feel at the time this column goes tc
press. Perhaps this might be al
summed up in one short sentence
by saying: "Oh God, we are truly
] thankful for the comfort ant
blessings this brings to oul
hearts"

feel at the time this column goes to
press. Perhaps this might be all
summed up in one short sentence
by saying: "Oh God, we are truly
thankful for the comfort and
blessings this brings to our
hearts,"
The community is very glad to
learn that Lieutenant Victor d.
Ennis has been reported as liberat-
ed from German prison camp by
the Third Army Headquarters in
Europe.
This news appeared in a Della
ware paper on Tuesday morning,
May Sth, and quickly spread thru
out Smyrna and the surrounding
area.
Lieutenant Ennis is the husband
of Mrs. Emily A. Ennis who is now
living at No. 261S Van Buren
Street, Wilmington, Delaware. He
is also the son of Mr.. and Mrs. S.
Creadick Ennis, Smyrna, Della
ware.
Prior to receiving his wing in
the Army Air Corps, Lieutenant
Ennis trained at the Army Air
Field, Nashville, Tennessee, Max
well Field, Alabama, Ocala, Flor
ida, Greenwood, Mississippi and
Columbus, Mississippi. 1t was at
Columbus Army Air Field where
Lieutenant Ennis received his COM
mission. Following this, the rec
ords reveal that Lieutenant Ennis
was transferred to Salt Lake City,
Utah, then to Avon Park, Florida.
From this point, Lieutenant Ennis
moved overseas in the month of
March 1914 to England. Lieuten-
ant Ennis was reported missing
over occupied Europe on April 20,
1914, and later reported as pris-
oner of war of the German forces.
While in Germany, Lieutenant En-
mis- was confined in the United
States Prisoner of War Camp at
Stalag Luft, No. 8. Shortly after
the United Nations Armies made
their concentrated drive to enter
Germany, Lieutenant Ennis was
moved from Stalag Luft No.
Prisoner of War Camp to another
part of Germany. Where he was
confined at the time of his liberia
tion, the records do not reveal, and
it will probably not be known I'M
til Lieutenant Ennis has the OPP
portunity to reveal this himself.
1t is enough to know at the mo-
ment that Victor is free and back
with his own kind of folks. Here's
wishing Vic the very best of luck
and a pleasant journey home.

However, in this case do not be-
lieve it wise to follow the usual
procedure. In the first place, L
am not well enough informed on
Post War planning for this area,
at least not sufficient to give Sam
uel a truthful and intelligent an
swer, covering the broad scope he
seeks information upon. There
fore, I would like the Town of
Smyrna, Churches, Social Organ
izations, Clubs, the Grange, the
Boy Scouts, Smaller Businessmen
and individuals to enlighten Pfc.
Todd as to their plans. You will
not only be sending a message to
this young soldier, now stationed
at Fort Bliss, Texas, it will be a
message to many other servicemen
fro mthis area as well. Samuel
you know is one of the Boys who
served with the Old 198th Coast
Artillery Anti Aircraft Batteries.
If you will recall, the fellows went
over where the trouble was the
thickest at the opening of this
war. Well, Samuel is still putting
out after all these months. Ma
turally, he is looking forward to
the time when he will receive his
honorable discharge from the arm
ed forces. And, like many other
Boys, Samuel is interested to
know what his community is plan
ming for the Post War. Those of
you who have made definite Post
War plans could do much worse
than to outline them now. Those
of you who have not considered
setting up program might con-
slider this the time to start. In
either case, Samuel Todd and his
service buddies will appreciate any
information you may care to route
through this column for their
benefit. 1t goes without saying,
that many servicemen, even while
fighting out the present issue for
both you and me, have taken time
to plan future for themselves.
They have only the highest regard
for their Country, and the possibil-
tiles it offers: particularly their
own home town. So please be
kind enough to join in a movement
which will let Our Boys and Girls
know what it is you have planned
for their future when they return.
Even those who may never return
will be grateful to you for your eff
forts.
To Pfc. Edward A. Cahall,
Somewhere in the Philippine ISL
ands. Thanks a lot Charles for
the Japanese invasion money
which you instructed mother to
pass along to me. Now that you
fellows have taken over in that
area, I presume that Jap money of
this kind is holding its greatest
worth as souvenirs. To the folks
of the Philippin Islands, they no
doubt are quite willing to be rid of
this sort of reminder forever.
The taste they have had of Jap
anese rule certainly leaves no de-
sire in their hearts to have it re-
peated over again.
Eddie, I have not heard from
you since you left A. P. o. No.
706, so it is about time for you to
rport back concerning your new
station at A. P. o. No. ~. Be-
tween the three of us, mother, you
and me, we have you pretty well
located now. You sort of had us
on the guessing team there for
awhile, but lett's hope those days
are gone forever.
Now that you've lost contact
with the charming ladies of the

SGT. LUKE WISE
GIVES INTERVIEW

An interview with Staff Ser
geant Luther Wise, formerly of
Grow Agency appeared recently
in Spokane, Wash, newspaper.
Sgt. Wise was recently married
to Miss Jean Barnett of Hardin.
The story in the Spokane
paper reads as follows:
The rumble of terrific ex-
plosions shook the hilly Chinese
countryside one day last sum
mer, and before the day was
over, the 14th air forces east
ernmost base in China was
nothing but rubble.
Forty thousand Chinese cool
les had worked a year on the
base. The day they were order
ed to quit construction work
they began to dig holes and
plant bombs and dynamite for
the demolition job.
"One of the handful of 18th
air force men who saw the
heartbreaking demolition job
completed was S/Sgt. Luther K.
Wise of Spokane, now stationed
at Geiger field after 80 months
of overseas Servtce..."
Sgt. Wise, a weather man,
was one of the first Americans
to arrive at the base, the most
advanced in eastern China. He
arrived there in 1913 when con-
struction work had just begun.
There one year, he was one of
the last 10 men to leave when
advancing japanese armies clos
ed in on the base last summer.
When it became obvious the
field couldn't be held he said,
we began pulling out by air.
But as the Japs cut closer the
famous Chinese warning net
work lost its effectiveness and
it became too dangerous to fly
big transports in. The men re-
manning at the base already had
been cut off for a few days be-
fore they blew the field, bar
racks and everything, a job
Jap air power had failed to do
in II months.
The Hardin tribune-herald. [volume] (Hardin, Mont.) 1925-1973, 1945-02-22

!! There was nothing left to
do but walk out, Sgt. Wise
said. We blew up all our We
hicles, buth there were no roads
open anyway. 1 felt we had a
better chance walking, as a
matter of fact.
sgt. Wise, a major and a
Chinese Lieutenant who had
been educated in America and
was in the American army.
went together. They were &C
companied by a British oil man
who had escaped from an in
ternment camp in Shanghai.
They walked 100 miles in
Is days, all of it through the
mountainous terrain. They
weren't alone.
Thousands of Chinese were
moving out, Sgt. Wise said.
Families We're trudging along
with their belongings. Cities and
town in the path of the Jap
advance were being evacuated.
"As they walked, the English
man who had escaped from the
Jap internment camp told them
a little about his experiences.
He was an official of an
oil company, Sgt. Wise said.
He and four other British es-
capped. They had planned the
escape for two years. He said
the japanese abused the older
people in the camp, separated
husbands and wives and famil-
les and then mixed them in
different compounds to degrade
and humiliate them
The food given them, he
told us, was about a fourth of
what it should have been. Pun
ishment was severe. He said
they took people to what they
called the Bridge House for
punishment and that when they
came back, sometimes months
later, they did not speak OF
what had happened to them
because of fear of the conse-
quences. During the time he
was there the internees received
only one shipment of Red Cross
supplies.

the camp told the internees
that he had been trying to
treat them well and that he
wanted them to remember. The
Jap also said anything that
had been done to them had
been done by the Japanese
army
AT the end Of the 16O-mile
march, Sgt. Wise, already Suf-
fering from malaria, was about
used up. He was sent to a
hospital.
During the time he was at
the base at the absolute end
of the aerial pipeline over the
hump, the JapS made 81 raids.
Badly outnumbered American
fighters knocked down Jap
planes almost like flies.
The men lived on Chinese
food with the exception of cof-
fee, canned cream and a little
cheese which was flown in.
There was not much coffee
either, Sgt. Wise said.
The only entertainer I saw
while T was there was Paulette
Goddard, Sgt. Wise asserted.
We had six Or seven moving
pictures and an old phono-
graph.
sgt. Wise was at sea with
the Seventh bomb group, head
ed for the Philippines, at the
outbreak of the war. With a
unit of the group, he was a.
mong the first American SOL
dierS to land in Australia.
From Australia he started to
Java as the battle swirled down
on the Dutch. Java fell and his
ship was sent to India. Sgt.
Wise was one of the first Amer
leans there. He Was also one of
the first Americans in China
with the 18th air force.
HE wears the presidential
unit citation. A brother, First
1t. Donald Wise, served six
month with the 18th air force

tO'Mac'!

!. BY keeping bad company the
gooseberry has left stain on the
great berry family's escutcheon-
probably because 1t Is a goose. Any
way, we know that it harbors the
disease which later spreads to white
pines and destroys them.
But there Is reverse to the
shield. It seems that there are
black sheep and white among ber-
ries as among humans. DR.. H. w.
Allen, Entomology and Plant Quar-
antine, finds that in some areas wild
blackberries are protecting peaches
against the destructive Oriental
fruit moth! It's because the black
berries are keeping good company.
They give a home to Mac" whose
full name is Macrocentrus ancyliv-
orus.
The female Macrocentrus ,wasps
lay their eggs in strawberry leaf
roller worms that overWinter on the
blackberry bushes. These eggs hatch
out what become in the spring
Mac" wasps about the size of a
large mosquito, and these move
from the blackberry bushes to any
peach trees that are nearby. And
what they do to the Oriental fruit
moth is plenty.

they do in this area. Some such as
the mountain ash, need deep soil
and seldom can be depended upon
here. Another factor worth con-
sidering is their habit Of growth. A
tall-growing tree soon dwarfs the
bungalow. A spreading tree is need
ed for a tall, narr6A house. Thus
the style of architecture deserves
consideration at least as far as the
habit of growth of the tree is con-
cerned.
Some trees are better adapted to
city conditions than others, although
Washington is less unfavorable than
most cities, having very little smoke
and gas. However, for congested
parts of a city the following have
demonstrated unusual ability: Syca-
more, catalpa, ailanthus (tree of
Heaven), ginkgo and horsechestnut
Trees to thrive and make a suita-
BILE growth must have food and
moisture. Feeding is recommended
even where the soil is reasonably
good. Overfeeding is to be avoided,
although the rule most often given
has been proven overgenerous in
several cases. The rule Is for each
inch of circumference (measured 4
feet above grounO l pounds of fer
tilizer. Another rule, 2 pounds for
each inch Of diameter is lighter than
the first. This should be placed in
holes or 10 inches deep and spaced
2 feet apart over the entire area
beneath the branches. The ground
should be wet before an application
and then moistened to carry the
plant food down to the feeding
roots. Apply fertilizers early in the
spring, March preferably, and not in
the late summer or fall.
