How It Turned Out for Mother of Yank Soldier KANSAS CITY.—Four times Mrs. S. L. Wilson went to a theater to see her son in a Guadalcanal news- reel. Four times she fainted just before he appeared on the screen. She tried a fifth theater last night, ‘and this time my heart went to my throat—but stopped there,” she said. “I saw him.” On the first four tries, “things just seemed to go black before Melven Lee appeared.” How long was her 17-year-old boy on the screen? “Oh, it seemed like about one 65th of a second. They were marching up a gangplank into a ship. He smiled into the camera just like he used to smile at home. ‘He stopped and rubbed the end of his rifle—the handle, or whatever you call it.” Her voice still tremulous with ex- citement, she said she had felt “sort of silly,” waiting for her fifth at- tempt to view the newsreel. Will she see it again, now that she’s cured? “I'm going to see it every time it’s run in Kansas City.” Now, Don’t Get Excited; There’s a Catch Here! CHARLOTTE, N. C.—The newly- weds on their honeymoon sat down at a small table in a restaurant here. They passed around a big tray piled with quail done to a fancy brown. The bridegroom had two birds and the proprietor insisted that he have another. There were vege- tables, dessert, all the coffee any- body might want. The bill was 50 cents. It was 54 years ago, 79-year-old Lewis H. Johnston, salesman, rem- inisced. v LADY BUGS ARE GOOD FOR YOUR GARDEN EXPERT ON INSECTS TELLS FARMERS ‘Bitsy’ Makes Supreme Sacrifice to Win War SOUTH BEND, IND.—‘‘Bitsy,” a pet White Rock hen owned by Mrs. Frank Boner of Mishawaka, is a martyr to the cry for in- creased food production, ] ' laid a seven-ounce egg easured 7% inches around and 9% inches the w hic} 1m the center other way.

Mrs. Mathilde Wertheimer survived 22 months in the filth and horror that is one of the deadliest concentration camps in Europe—Gurs in the Pyrenees. The years of her life, 97 to 99, she will remember there. “When she first came here last July she begged for a slice of bread that she could break up herself,” ex. plained her daughter, Mrs. Berthe Schwab, with whom she lives. ‘In the camp they gave her such a small piece.” She is a tiny woman with a large sense of humor. She speaks no English. But her eyes speak for her. They twinkle and look just a bit exasperated when conversation is conducted in Eng- lish and she cannot understand. She catches odd words and phrases. Her daughter said she immediately picked up the oft-repeated “I don’t like it” and demanded to know what it means. One can understand how she with- stood Nazi-imposed hardships. She never wants to go to bed before midnight. She refuses to use the wheelchair her son-in-law bought for her. She walks, instead, along the Hudson or goes window-shopping. Mrs. Wertheimer, who lost her husband 20 years ago, arrived here with two daughters, Rose and Sophie, who also had been confined to the camp, by way of Casablanca. Dog Digs Up Body of Man Missing for Months CALICO ROCK, ARK. — A dog scratching in the dirt led to discov- ery of the body of a 43-year-old miss- ing World war veteran and to mur- der charges against his wife and 21- year-old red-haired stepdaughter, Deputy Prosecutor R. D. Harris re- ported. The body of Charles Durant was taken from a shallow grave in the backyard of his home here after the dog’s digging had unearthed a hu- man hand. Durant had been miss- ing since last December 1, Sheriff A. Rodman announced. Harris said he filed first-degree murder charges against the man’s wife, Mrs. Armanda Rose Durant, and against her daughter, Mary, whose whereabouts officer said they did not know. Police at Romeo, Mich., arrested Mrs. Durant. Rodman went to Little Rock to in- vestigate records of Durant with the | Lady bugs will destroy harmful in- sects in the vegetable garden, Dr. Stuart W. Frost, insect expert at the Pennsylvania State College, said in outlining ways to kill common parden pests. Here are some of the ways he sug- gests to get rid of aphids, the bean beetie, the tomato worm, the squash bug, the cut worm, and the corn ear worm: Bean beetle—spray vines with cal- cium arsenate. Aphids—spray with nicotine sul- phate. Tomato worm—spray with arsen- ate of lead ,or hand pick and destroy. Squash bug—nicotine spray or hand pick the young bug and drown in kerosene. Cut worm—although the best way to avoid this pest is to wrap the stem of the plant in paper when setting it out, cultivation will help destroy the worm. Corn ear worm—desilk the corn af- Fannie C.

OF SUPER-HIGHWAYS Harrisburg.—Gevernor Martin last week outlined plans for post war construction of a $268,000,000 ial work of highways designed to facili- | tate traffic movement in every part | of Pennsylvania. | He explained present plans call for: A four lane highway in the Sus- | quehanna_ Valley leading into the | hard coal fields. Improved traffic lanes to New York, to the Erie area, to Philadel- phia and to the West Virginia and Ohio state lines. | Widening of highways ad bridge approaches in and at Philadelphia | and Pittsburgh. At the same time the Governor said he has given “a lot of thought to the extension of the Pennsyvania Turnpike” to Ohio to Philadelphia, | 4 but added: | “I'll have to sit down and do a lot | of thinking before I consider destroy | ing several thousands of acres of fer-| tile farm land between here and the | city of Philadelphia.” | Both extensions to Ohio line and | to Philadelphia—have been approv ed| by recent sessions of the legislature. !

STRESS NEED OF FOOD AT PENN STATE CONFERENCE “America can run short of food,” said Miles Horst, state secretary of agriculture, at the recent Leadership School for Grange Officers of the Pennsylvania State College. Contributing to lowered agricul- tural production, he stated, are wea- ther conditions, labor shortage, feed shortage for herds and flocks, and machinery shortage. Man power and equipment factors are responisble for keeping out of production 17 per ct. of our land idle since World War I. Dean C. E. Ladd of the College of Agriculture of Cornell University de- | clared that “all restrictions on crop production should be removed.” In speaking at a conference on war time | problems at the Pennsylvania State | College, he pointed out that there are | no surpluses in war time and no need for crop restrictions. At the same conference Dean E. | C. Young of the Graduate School, of University, suggested incre- production through regional helping farmers in ev~ and shaping the agricultural price policy toward gre- ater F yield.
