in politics, and there will always

Following is a description of
the explosion taken from the
book. my Company on Iwo:"
Parachute flares were making
their systematic appearance in the
sky, for it was a dark night and
the Japs still left their caves in
Mt. Suribachi in the darkness to
go on the prowl looking for food
and supplies.
1t was just a half hour before
on 26 April, 1945. The
worst of the Two Jima campaign
was over and the guards moved
more easily about their posts.
Then suddenly a parachute flare
came plunging to earth like a
comet - its parachute either fail
ed to open, Or opened too late, and
the flare was still burning wildly
when it came to earth. Came to
earth - of all places - in the
ordnance dump at the foot of Mt.
Suribachi and just a few hundred
yards from Headquarters living
areas.
There followed the most hectic
night the men of Headquarters ex-
perienced in their entire stay on
this volcanic island.
The guard reported the flare
landing and the small fire that en-
sued. Fire fighting equipment was
rushed to the scene, and for a
time it appeared as though the
fire would be brought under con-
troll before the main dump was set
off.
But the fire maintained a foot
hold and by 1870 in the morning it
had reached and begun setting off
400 tons of Naval depth charges.
The sky lit up almost like day
and the earth rocked with the force
of the continuing explosions. Men
in the area made a mad scramble
for any kind of cover. Tents were
flattened. Shrapnel rained from
the skies. For hours it went on,
and it was near noon of the fol-
day before the fire finally
died out. Not a good piece of ord
nance was left. But there were 9TH
sr dumps on the island to meet
military peed, for the Army does
not believe in putting all its legs"
one basket.
An investigation was conducted
by the ordnance section following
he incident and a report submit

pies were collected from drill
boxed in Richland county with
only 2 or 80 of them meeting
minimum seed standards. Sixty
five percent of all the samples
collected in the state contained
noxious weeds such as field bind
weed, Canadian Thistle, wild oats
and perennial saw thistle.
The fact that grain has been
through a cleaner does not nee
essarily qualify it as good seed.
1t Is the condition after cleaning
that is important.
Any extra effort and expense
put forth In obtaining clean seed
means fewer weeds in the field,
resulting in less expense in spray
ing, higher yields, less dockage
and better grades when market
ing. These in turn boost the net
income Of the producer.
Use of clean seed with a high
treatment with a recommended
seed treatment is advocated and
followed by all top notch farmers.
Producers of all types of crops
should pay heed to the slogan,
Good Seed Doesn't Cost, 1t
Pays"

common farm bird.
Even the best quality chicks
will not develop properly if the
poultrymen neglectS to provide
them with ample room and
enough equipment to carry them
through without crowding until
they leave the brooder house.
Over crowding is one of the
most common causes of high loss
es among chicks. For this reason
the following recommendations
r offered as guides:
Floor space - allow not more
than two chicks per square foot
of floor space for the first six
weeks, after that one square foot
per chick. Unless floor space
per chick can be doubled at six
weeks, it is better to allow one
square foot per chick from the
beginning.
Feeder space provide one
linear inch per chick for the
first two weeks and two inches
from three to six weeks. Allow
three inches from seven weeks
until birds leave the brooder
house.
Waterer space - provide two
one-gallon waterers for each 100
chicks up to three weeks. After
that, two three-gallon waterers
per 100 chicks.
Brooder space - when using
a canopy brooder allow z square
inches per chick up to three
weeks and then double the space.
With infra-red lamps, allow one
250-watt R-40 lamp for each
100 chicks. Use lamps in pairs
and start with them 16 inches
above the chicks. Arrange lamps
so they can be lifted gradually
by pulleys as the birds grow.
Chick guard - use a chick
guard is to 10 inches high around
hover or lamps to keep chicks
close to source of heat until they
become shower wise". Extend the
guard a little each day and re-
move entirely at about a week
or ten days. For more informa-
ton on raising chicks we sug-
gest Montana Extension Circular
No. 1873 entitled, Feeding and
Management of Chicks and Pull
We have a good supply of
this circular on hand which
should prove valuable to every
poultry producer.

EXCLUSIVELY
YOURS
A Tete q Tete Luncheon
With q Polish Diplomat
By BETTY BEALE

The wide smile of Khrush-
chev that first burst upon the
free world a year ago has
rubbed off on its neighboring
satellite Poland. Yesterday it
was beamed from Poland all
the way across the sea to a
Washington society columnist.
Out of the blue last week a
secretary at the Polish EN-
bassy called and extended an
invitation to lunch with the
Counselor of the Embassy
Henryk Jaroszek. A choice Of
three dates was offered. I
chose yesterday.
Promptly at / o'clock
walked into this Embassy for
the first time since 1899. A
man ushered me upstairs to
the formal drawing room
where Mr.. Jaroszek was watt
ing alone. Obviously no one
else was expected.
The conversation safely be-
gan on the weather. The
Counselor, a medium-Sized
man with brown hair, tense
face, spectacles over eyes that
missed nothing, said he liked
to exercise. He loves to walk;
he walks the mile daily back
and forth between home and
Office. America is too mech
anized. everybody's on wheels.
!. Senator Kerr Scott walks
the six miles from the West
chester to the Capitol every
day, I put in, and Senator
Theodore Francis Green walks
the several miles to his Office
and back from the University
Club. He confessed that was
q lot of walking.
Lunch began with a selec-
ton of hors d'oeuvres-home

A dark white wine was
poured. too. Mod, a delicious
honey liqueur with only IL per
cent alcohol was served with
the demitasse.
Mr.. Jaroszek said he had
been here only five months; he
wants to get to know the press.
What's his particular line?
He's officer for political affairs
and public relations; No. 2
man at the Embassy.
Will the new friendly Soviet
attitude toward Tito change
anything in Poland. I asked?
Might Poland too breakaway
from the Soviet dictatorship?
To answer that would be
to admit that Poland is die
tated to by the Soviet, he re-
piled. Poland has it's own
leaders, he insisted, and re-
Gently there has been much
criticism expresse d in the
Polish press, so much he was
shocked. Poland simply

Misses Clark, Norris
AndT homus Bow Here

The Washington debutante
season got off to gay start
yesterday with three parties
taking up every minute from
S pm. on.
Among those being presented
were Miss Gretchen Huff Clark,
Miss Shearer Norris and Miss
Anne Thomas.
Miss Clark made her bow at
a debut typical Of yester-year.
Mr.. and Mrs. Bruce Edmund
Clark introduced their daugh-
ter to their friends at a 5 to
Z pm. party.
The days when this type of
party was the custom have al
most gone. In their place are
events primarily for the debut
tante and her friends.
Although this makes the sea-
son gay for the younger gen.
Grafton it tends to get away
from the original idea of mark
ing the social coming of age
of the girl.
Gretchen Clark is having a
taste of both. Where as yes
terday she tired the old FASH
Toned role. today she is to be
in the whirl of her own gen.
Grafton.
The Clarks are giving a joint
tea dance with Navy Capt. and
Mrs. Charles Smith for Gret-
chen and the Smiths daughter
Valerie. The party is to take
place at the Chevy Chase Club.
The party yesterday took
place in the spacious, high CELL
inged apartment of Mr.. and
Mrs. Clark on California street.
Forming the receiving line
were Gretchen and her mother.
The debutante wore a dress
which she and a classmate,
Miss Anne Mitchell designed
last summer.
1t was made Of yards of white
chiffon fashioned with a "
shaped neckline in the front
and back and a full ballerina
length skirt. The neckline was
trimmed with pale aqua satin.
She carried nosegay of pink
sweetheart roses and babies
breath.
For the occasion, Mrs. Clark
chose an imported French
brocade sheath of eggshell and
gold which had short sleeves
banded with mink.
Among those pouring were
Miss Gertrude Lutz, Miss Flor
ence McCracken. Mrs. Ben
jamin F. Castle and Mrs. John
T. Tucker.
The debutante who is me-
dunn height and very blond,
is a graduate of Holton-Arms
and is now attending Mary
Baldwin College.
Assisting her were four of
her classmates from Holton-
Arms who also all went on a
European tour together last
summer, the Misses Marcia
Brown, Starr Bulls, Gail
Crisp and Frances Snowden
Hill. Others were the Misses
Valerie Smith, Suzanne Clarke
and Bette Jane Fairfax.
Dinner at Sulgrave
Miss Suzanne Shearer Nor
ris. daughter of Mrs. Leo
Brison Norris, was presented at
a dinner at the Sulgrave Club
which also included dancing.
Hosts were Miss Norris
brother-in law and sister, Mr..
and Mrs. Howard w. Smith, jr.,
the latter receiving with Miss
Shearer and her mother.
About rs of the seasons deb
utantes were in the group of
more than 70 guests and the
occasion also was something of
q Norris family reunion,
