ty can loo kforward to a better
supply of meat ''very soon" it

AT 1912 Prices, And Soon
Household washing machines
will be back in the stores this
fall at 1912 prices, according to
OPA.
Manufacturers will be requir-
ed to tag the washing machines
with their retail ceiling process
before they are shipped to re-
tailers. This policy will be fol-
lowed with all major recover
sion items. according to OPA,
so that each family will be able
to buy a washing machine and
an ironer to fit its needs.
If we are to control initiation
airy pressures in Dickinson coun
ty it is necessary that consumers
be protected against unnecessary
increases in the cost of things
they need to buy, it was said.

aluminium pots and pans will
soon be available for county
housewives in quantity and at
1912 prices was held out by the

Aboard the USS English In
The Pacific. - Lester Branham,

Mrs Shirley Branham of Honey
Camp, Va. fought flames, smoke
and crafty exploding shells for
three dramatic hours when this
destroyer went to the aid of the
fire-ridden carrier BUNKER
HILL, smashed by Jap suicide
pilots last May II.
Weary from two long sessions
at their battle stations earlier in
the day, the English crew had
finally secured at 10 am. Four
minutes later, answering a gen.
eral quarters call, they saw the
stricken carrier off the port bow.
Threading her way through
seas dotted with Bunker Hill men
who had been blasted overheard
or had jumped to escape flames,
and who were being picked up
by other ships the English reach
ed the blazing fiat-top and began
pouring water on the fires. The
cruiser Wilkes Barre and anoth-
er destroyer came in close to help
and the English moved to new
position. Just before she pulled
away, three men crouching in
the carriers gun tubs to escape
the flames, dropped unscathed to
this ships deck.
Creeping in close to the car
rier's fantail, where 80 or 40 men
were trapped, the English pour
ed tons of water across the mar
row gap separating the two ships.
Breathing apparatus and wire
fighting equipment were sent
. across.
Shortly after p. M, the fires
were brought under control.
Then the English crew members
sent over buckets of steaming
coffee to the grim-eyed exhaust
ed carrier men.

 Irish Balladeer
 Although he had sung in opera, Mccormack caught thte imagination of the world with his Irish bal- lads such as Mother Machree' and T Hear You Calling Me-"
 He made his real debut in the United States as 6 member of Oscar HammerStein's Manhattan Opera Company on Nov. 10, 1909, appear ing in Traviata with TotrazzinI and Sammarco.
 His first appearance at the Metro- politan was in the same opera when he appeared with Madam Melba, at her special invitation.
 The death of John Mccormick, noted Irish tenor, recalls to Water. burians his several professional ap. pearanceS here. His first appearance 25 years ago, taxed that auditorium to capacity. The late Paul Prent- gel, who presented many great ar- tists in local concerts. filled Buck. ingham hall on several different occasions. MT. Prentzel also pre- sented him at the Armory on one occasion, so great was the demand for tickets.
 MT. Mccormack always sang with enthusiasm on these occasions, and though he never wanted any undue festivities when he came here, he greatly appreciated the enthusiasm Of the Irish American population, and sank many of these Irish airs that he knew would please the population of Irish extraction.
