FORMER ACL CLERK
CITED In LETTERS
FROM COMMANDERS.
Sergeant Formy-Duval Bid
Godspeed In Return To
Civilian Life

whatever you may endeavor
upon your return to civilian life l
sincerely hope it brings you the
utmost happiness and success"
These words from letter writ
ten to Sgt. Marion Formy-Duval
by William E. Jones. Captain,
231st Inf, have been brought to the
sergeant mind rather forcibly for:
Sergeant Formy-Duval has re-
turned to civilian life and IS today
taking a short rest and vacation
before taking up his place IN the
life of the community.
The former Wilmington ACL
clerk, was member OF Major
Gen. Paul Mueller's 81st Infantry
''Wildcat'' division which saw &C.
ton in Northern Honshu.
In the letter from Capt. Jones,
Formy-Duval was cited for loyalty
obedience and devotion to duty.
ingness to work in his capacity as
an Army clerk was amplified up
on by the Captain.
A second letter to Formy-Du-
val from 1t. Col. Paul Craig,
321st Infantry, read in part:
s'You have stood as pillar of
strength in holding the standard
of this regiment high into the
sun-your common sense and
judgement has enabled you to
serve or over three years as a SUI
perior regimental ST. clerk win
ming and holding the respect of
all with whom you came in con-
tact"
The letter continued, 'your
service in this regiment has been
characterized by a high sense OF
duty, commendable efficiency and
unquestioned loyalty. I extend my
best wishes to you.''
The sergeant is the son of the
late Mr.. and Mrs. Formy-Duval
and a brother of Mrs. w. F. Cox,
302 Windsor drive with whom he
is staying at the present time.

SUGAR SHORTAGE
S0URS TEMPERS
OF CAFE men
Restaurant Owners Saw
OPA Is Unfair In DoIinx
Out Supply

sugar, sugar, who has the sugar?
IS the far-flmg cry among dis
gruntled proprietors Of eating
places in Wilmington and New
Hanover county.
And that is a question we have
all been asking ourselves since
well, soon after Joe Stain told the
United States that his soldiers
liked their coffee with two Jumps
OF sugar. He said it gave the Cos
sacks more warmth for their win
ter campaigns, and buoyed their
resistance to the onrushing Ger
mans.
But the sugar supply seems to
grow smaller and smaller. and the
merchants and eating place pro-
prietorS grow louder and louder in
their lamenting against the OPA
and all its regulations.
While in Wilmington the sugar
shortage has steadily grown so
short that customers are turning
away from their favorite eating
places in search of other establish
ments which have a larger supply
of the honeyed grains to sweeten
their coffee and pastries.
The irony of the whole business
is that there seems to be no 10Th
err establishment to which one
may turn. Several proprietors of
eating places contacted said they
had lost customers temporarily but
they usually come back after
shopping around only to find that
the ''greener pastures are mere
mirages in an ocean of sugarless
coffee"
Even more ironical, perhaps Ito
the proprietors, at least) is the
fact that the saccharine which
cafes and restaurants offer their
customers to supplement the
meager supplies Of sugar, is about
twice as expensive as sugar, the
real Mccoy.
Several Wilmington and New
Hanover eating place proprietors
say the OPA is unfair in doing
the priced honeyed grains. They
charge that there are instances
(and make no isolation attribu-
tions) in which some eating places
have more sugar allotments than
others.
Sugar supplies are determined
by the amounts Of sugar used by
an establishment during the two
months preceding. In the case of
new applicant for sugar to sup
ply customers Of an eating place,
the proprietor readily admits that
the OPA takes the proprietors'
estimate of the amount which will
be necessary to keep him ade-
quately supplied.
Wholesale houses in Wilmington
and New Hanover report that their
supplies are shorter than usual.
In disclosing that their supplies
are short, some of the wholesalers
said that the shorter than nor
mali condition referred to the
supply and demand now, not
necessarily to indicate that their
supply is shorter than expected
under existing conditions.
Several wholesalers said their
stocks of sugar on hand are
meager. Some of them indicated
theirs may not even be high
enough to supply half Of their or
ders. Others reported the condi-
ton even worse by implying their
supplies now on hand may not fill
over Is per cent of the orders.
There were no figures available.
