The Lost Men of Baiaan

Then they shepherded their more
than five hundred wards-men still
young in years but with an eternity
of suffering behind them, their health
shattered, their bodies wasted, but
their hopes and spirit and faith still
high and @unbreakabie = back to
safety through the strongest inter-
cepting force the enemy could mobi-
lize.
The world can hardly comprehend
the valor and resourcefulness of these
inspired and indomitable men.
They fought against almost in
conceivable odds.
They brought half a thousand
tattered, tottering and almost un-
believing survivors of Bataan and
Corregidor back to the American
lines, the haunting memory Of three
years of hell in their minds, but the
fulfillment of their dreams at last
attained.
THIS wonderful and happy story
Il has thrilled and awed the Ameri-
can people.
1t symbolizes what every Ameri-
can fighting in the Philippines
WENT BACK to do.
1t was the thing that was in their
hearts.
It constitutes their real victory.
The winning back of the Philip
pines is important.
The wiping out of old defeats and
humiliations is important,
But the snatching of lost men
from the tenacious grip of ruthless
enemy was the grim errand upon
which the fighting men of Gen. Doug
las Macarthur were bent, and the
Americans who have done this grand
thing have dearly won and perma-
nently secured their place in Amer
lean history.
Detroit evening times., 1945-02-05

THE thrilling rescue of more than
l. five hundred American prisoners
of war from japanese prison camp
on the Philippine island of Luzon is
one of the rare episodes in human
history that give great -heroism inn
mortality against the background of
happy conclusion.
Most of the worlds long remem-
bered stories about heroic men and
deeds are tragic stories.
At Thermopylae the three hun
dred Spartans and seven hundred
Thespians under Leonidas were
killed to the last man in holding off
the Persian hosts of Xerxes.
In our own drama filed American
history, the siege of the Alamo ended
in butchery with Davy Crockett and
Jim Bowie falling beside their 140
Texans and Americans before Santa
Ana won the battle that cost him
war.
TN IT'S larger sense, of course, the
l. story of Bataan is one Of the
greatest tragedies of all time-run-
ming such a gamut of sacrificial
heroism and death, misery and bru-
tality, as the world has seldom seen
in its most barbaric times and has
never before seen in civilized times.
But the four hundred men of the
Sixth Ranger Battalion and the Fill.
pino guerillas who penetrated 25
miles back Of the japanese lines on
Luzon to liberate 513 American and
Allied prisoners from their filthy
camp in Neuva Ecija Province have
given the world a story it can read
now with happiness and that it will
read with happiness throughout all
the thousands of years it is retold.
They made a forced march
through the night, undetected by
troops swarrnirg in the area.
They obliterated the japanese
garrison.

Jefferson Man
Gets Bronze Star

With the Fifth Army, Italy
Staff Sergeant Ransy J. Jordan,
of Jefferson, recently was award
ed the Bronze Star for heroic
achievement in action.
Jordan is a member of the 361st
Infantry Regiment of the 91st
Powder River" Division fight
ing on the Fifth Army front in
Italy.
After cutting behind enemy
lines and establishing a road
block, an infantry company was
subjected to several enemy count
erattacks. One of these attacks
came from a flank that Jordan
could not effectively cover with
his heavy machine guns. Jordan
then led his section through hea-
Wy fire to a commanding position
on the enemy flank. Exposing
himself continuously to fire, Jor-
dan directed accurate fire on the
enemy, forcing them to withdraw.
His mother, Mrs. Hattie Jordan,
lives on Route l, Jefferson.

OPA Announces Rules For
Securing New Auto Tires

Washington - A priority list
of occupants governing distribu-
ton of the limited supply of new
passenger tires to eligible motor
lists was announced this week by
the OPA.
Drawn up with the help of the
War Manpower Commission, the
list covers all ''B" and &C" card
drivers but rates them in four
groups with respect to their es-
sentiality to the. war effort.
This preferential rating is nee
essary, OPAs explained, because
of the sharp reduction in the al
location of new tires for ration
ing the April quota is 100000
castings, 81 per cent cut from the
100000 made available this
month.
The reduction results from an
acute shortage of the tire ingre-
dent carbon black.
The first priority group is linn
tied almost entirely to persons
whose occupations are of an emer-
gency nature, and to workers at
must" war plants. Included are
physicians, public health nurses,
police, and war workers such as
those producing urgently needed
aircraft and ammunitions- proj-
ects facing a critical manpower
shortage. About 100000 cars are
represented in the first priority
group, officials said, out of the
25,000,000 still operating.
These plants will be designated
after consultation with local
VINO officials, OPA said.
In group 2 are persons employ
ed in other essential plants and
those whose occupations are high
ly important to the war effort
Examples are farmers, farm work

DECREASE ON ACREAGE
PREDICTED THIS YEAR

Raleigh - If present plans of
North Carolina farmers are fol-
lowed into the planting season,
the acreage of all crops grown
this year will be approximately
three per cent less than in 1914,
! according to the crop reporting
service of the State Agriculture
Department.
Frank Parker, chief of the serv-
ice, said the farm labor situation
has grown progressively more
acute and that most farms are
now being operated on a Every
short-handed basis"
sThe acreage of idle land this
season will likely be larger than
for any recent year," Parker said,
adding however that many farm
ters still intend to plant more to-
bacco than the labor force now
in sight will be able to harvest.

Group 8 covers such motorists
as buyers for essential establish
ments and those who travel tc
such places to perform necessary

Group 4 takes in all other "B'

OPA stressed that each indi-
vidual tire applicant must con-
tinue to establish his need for
tire even though rated in a high
preference group.

Bert Childer's house burned
down last week, and the only
good thing that came out of 1t
was it cured him of swearing.
Bert Just couldn't think of
words to fit the occasion, so he
just gave up.
Bert admits It was his own
fault. Started with a field fire
which he thought he had under
control, and when he turned his
back a minute for a breathing
spell, the fire sprung up twice as
fierce. By the time the firemen
arrived, there wasn't much that
they could do.

Bert Loses the War
Single-Hunded

From where I sit, there's a
moral in Bert's experience. A lot
of us feel we've got the fires OF
this war under control. that
we can relax a little, maybe let
up on buying bonds, donating
blood, or fighting imitation.
Just like Bert lost his fight
against the fire, we can lose this
fight against our enemy if we lei
down now. Because war, like
fire. is never over till the last
