Arthur Violet Is
Among Last P0W's

MECHANICSBURG, Aug. 20 -
Cpl. Arthur E. Violet of Mechan-
icsburg was among the American
prisoners of war to pass through
Freedom Village Thursday in Ko-
rea. He had been thought missing
in action until it was discovered
he was in a North Korean prison
camp. p
Cpl. Violet is the son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Artemus Violet of Mechan-
icsburg, Route 2. At the time he
was reported missing he was at
tached to Headquarters Battery
of the 57th Field Artillery Battal-
ion of the Seventh Division.
The fact that Cr,,. Violet def
nitely was prisoner was reveal
ed in May when a released prison
er of the Communists returned
home and announced that Cpl.
Violet was among some 200 Amer
ican prisoners he left behind in a
North Korean prison camp. The
news was brought by Cpl. Joseph
L. Jewell Of Norwood, Ohio.
Cpl Violet joined the Army on
August 2, 1948. He took his basic
training at Fort Bragg, n. c.
When he was sent to Korea, he
saw action with the First Cavalry
Regiment of the Seventh Division
In December of 1850, shortly
after the Chinese entered the war
Cpl. Violet was reported missing
Later, he was given up as killed
in action.
A letter from the young soldier
later revealed he was being held
by the Reds. During the middle
of December, 1851, when the Reds
published lists of prisoners, Cpl
Violet's name was on the list. His
parents received another letter
from their son in January, 1852.

Cooking School
Set For Three
Days Next Week
Food And Fashion Are
Bio Show Features

AAAC A0OI NAOSNO = AcS0
will play a three-day engage
ment in London, Sept. Is, 16 and
II, F. E. Kidwell, local manager
for the Ohio Fuel Gas Company
announced today.
The food-and-fashion show is
sponsored by the Gas Company
and local merchants.
Performances will begin each
evening at 8 pm. in the London
High School auditorium. A gas
clothes dryer and gas range will
be among the prizes to be given
away during the institutes run
here.
The 1854 show is entirely new
from the "set" to recipes. The first
days show is entitled Blue
Flame Circus" Homemakers are
promised plenty of fun and food
tips during this performance.
Holiday in the Kitchen" is the
second day. Top feature is a color
full array of aprons-one each for
at least II holidays during the
year. Every day is fashion day in
the Institute because the lecturer
models smart homemaker's fash
ions in each show.
Keyed to foods that children
like, the final days theme is
''Fairyland of Foods" Children
love to read fairy tales over and
over again and Louise Fellows,
local Betty Newton, believes they
will ask to have these recipes
made over and over again.
An entirely new stage setting
has been designed. 1t has a mod
ern country atmosphere in its kit
chen, utility room and dining
area. Bright yellow wallpaper
with an old cook stove pattern in
blue, green and red makes a
sparkling background for the cab
inetS of natural wood finish with
antique copper hardware. The
kitchen has a corner sink. Ther"'s S
a flower planter in front of the
sink between two corner windows.
A Servel gas "Ice-Maker" refrig-
orator opens to adjacent counter
space and a partial wall separates
the kitchen from the utility room.
The matching utility room also
has the latest modern gas appli-
ances. It features gas clothes
dryer and its twin automatic
washer. There are two range-top
burners set in the wood cabinets.
The twin burner is ready for the
heavy duty laundry such as boil
ing towels and preparing starch.
But there is plenty of hot water
with the automatic gas water
heater that plays the STRONG, ST.
lent role" in the homemaking
drama. Another newcomer to the
appliance cast is the gas incinera-
tor. that diSposes of waste mater
ial, garbage and refuse.
In the dining area a sectional
range is in the brick wall of the
fireplace. White chintZ curtains al
the windows are trimmed with
plaid borders. A plate rail runs
along the wall over the fireplace
and an oval-shaped cotton shag
rug in sunflower yellow covers
the floor. This rug plays another
role because it is made in 36-incf
sections that can be taken apart
washed and dried in the gas dryer
1t is taped together with masking
tape when laid on the floor.
Local merchants participating
in the cooking school include: The
London Appliance Co., The Hume
