THE POST, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 1942.
SECOND
THOUGHTS
Just when it was I do not know
But I was full of health and pep,
My eyes were bright, my cheeks had
glow
And with the world I marched in
step.
I do not know just when or where
I met the nasty little germ
That sent me to my bed and chair
For days that seem a prison term.
I pity those who have disease
That topples comfort from
throne
But when I'm wracked by cough
and sneeze
I'd rather have a fractured bone.
Confined now to my humble hutch

Wants A Crack
At Dirty Japs
Pat Finnegan Has
Two Brothers In Army
Pat Finnegan before joining
the army was houseboy at
Boyle's Hillside Inn. He is one
of six brothers. Three are now
in the army, one in the navy
and one in defense work, The
youngest will join the navy
when he returns from a C. C. C.
Camp in about two months—

Wants Crack At Japs
Fort Bragg,
North Carolina.
Dear Post:
I sort of figured I'd take a little
With four blank walls at which
to stare
I'd rather limp upon a crutch
If with it I might take the air.
time off to say hello and let you
know everything is well under con-
trol here, because it really is. I'm
in ship shape and raring to see
some action as are all the rest of
us down here,
Well to begin with I'm on stable
I've heard its programs, all of woe, | police this week and I imagine you
Its mimic characters all dour. have a pretty good idea of what that
Between the bromide and the plug |is. Cleanipg up after horses and
At start and end of every sketch | feeding them, cleaning out stable,
I listen to a mournful mug, ete. It's really a good job but dirty
I listen to a weeping wretch and smelly as the deuce. We took
two loads of dirt and trash out to
the compost and it rained like the
devil which means that right now
I have a whale of a cold. Boy, I am
telling you I sure would enjoy some
of that Pennsylvania weather. At
least when it’s cold it stays cold.
Down here it is hot one day and
wet and damp the next.
By the way, I'm going to return
that favor you're doing by sending
me the Dallas Post, by sending you
a subscription to the Fort Bragg
Post. You'd ought to be getting it
right soon.
So Harry Jr. is still selling papers.
Tell him to get busy and sell De-
fense Stamps so we can have more
ammunition to knock off those Japs.
Boy, I hope they send me across so
I can have a crack at those rats.
I'm itching for an opportunity just
to avenge those fellows at Pearl
Harbor. It's funny how an attack
like that can arouse the morale of
our soldiers. We all feel that right
now we have a mission to accom-
plish and we're determined to go
through with it. What makes us
really determined is the fine sup-
port we are getting from the Amer-
ican people. So I guess you will
agree with me when I say: “Keep
’em Flying, Keep ’em Rolling and
Keep Us Fighting America, We need
your support.”
Well it is 11 o'clock and I have
to get up at 4 so will say good
night and good luck.
As Ever,
Pat Finnegan.
Don’t tell me that the radio
Is company in daylight’s hour,
I listen to a tale of tears,
A drama steeped in miseries,
I pity women, silly dears,
Who daily are assailed by these.
How else are they to keep a-pace
Of what is best in food and pills,
Of helps to figure, hair and face
And medications for their ills?
Who's guilty of this air-borne trend
Of hearts a-drift and fortunes lost,
Of complications without end
And innocents all double-crossed ?
By whom inspired this drivel-drool ?
1 wish I knew, I'd like to tell.
Call him a dunce, but who's the fool
Who, hearing, makes his products
sell ?
My mood is lachrymose, my eyes
Run rivulets of salty tears,
My head is twice its normal size
And strangely throb my tortured
ears.
My nostrils as twin fountains ooze
While pain and aching ebb and
flow,
I cannot sleep, I cannot snooze;
I listen to the radio.
I hear the dramas of divorce,
The ones of unrequited love,
The heroines whose futile course
Is always short of treasure-trove,
The noble men by fate denied
And doomed to drink the gall
and rue,
I hear them as with grit and pride
Evasive goals they still pursue. .
The commentators preach of duds
I ought to wear, of foods to eat,
They tell the worth of Slimy Suds,
Of Whiffled Oats and Woozled
Wheat.
The pal of death and weighted woe
The radio in daylight bears,
I listen and I want to know:
How does it ever sell its wares?

Editor:
The 28th Division went to Camp
Beauegard, Alexandria, La., except
for a combat team of which I am a
part. The team is now stationed at
costal defenses of Norfolk and Ches-
where some men are located so long
that would give the enemy any in-
formation regarding troop move-
ments. ;
With the defenses that I have
seen here an invading force would
run into trouble. We are on “alert”
and wear our gas masks and carry
rifles with us whenever we are on
duty, By gas masks I mean we carry
them around our necks in their con-
tainers, not on the face.
When I came home on my last
furlough, I offered my boys, Henry
and Dana, a 25c¢ Defense Stamp for
every two-page letter I got from
them. At present writing it looks
as though I'll have to hire a secre-
tary to keep up with their letters—
not to mention the need for a fatter
pocketbook. But its all for a good
cause and maybe the boys will learn
to write a nice letter.
Regards,
Capt. Larry Lee.
Malcolm Arnold Goes
To Denver Airport
Malcolm Arnold who has been
stationed at Olmstead Field at the
Middletown, Pa., air depot has been
given an advanced mechanic's rat-
ing and transferred to Denver, Col-
orado. He is the son of Guy Arnold
of Harvey's Lake. He and Mrs. Ar-
nold, the former Ruth Stevenson,
will break up their home in Middle-
town until Mr. Arnold is settled in
Denver when Mrs. Arnold expects to
follow. Arnold is one of several Har-
vey’s Lake young men who some
months ago took an advanced N. Y.

Japs. NOXEN
Mr. and Mrs. Howard Bigelow of
Virginia have taken charge of his
father’s farm, just outside of Noxen.
Failing health has made it neces-
sary for the elder Bigelow to retire
from active duties.
The farm is well stocked with fine
horses and cows. It is a coincidence
that the son lived in the same
home 20 years ago before his father
purchased it. He drove a truck de-
livering milk to the Woodlawn Dairy
| in Wilkes-Barre and also engaged in
| lumbering at that time.
i+ Mr, and Mrs. Bigelow made many

Mrs. Lewis Hackling who has been

gotten, Days after the wound had
apparently healed, the finger sud-
denly became painful. Remedies
that are usually effective showed no
results and red streaks up the arm
quickly developed. Mrs. Hackling
then decided it was a case for a
physician. Dr. Beck lanced the finger
and probed deep to arrest the spread
of infection, Under his careful sup-
ervision the red streaks soon re-
ceded. While improvement has been
slow, it has been steady and Mrs.
Hackling is now past the stage of
probable reinfection.

Inhuman Treatment Of A Dog Brings
Quick Justice In Susquehanna Co.
A young man from outside of
Susquehanna county was recently
arrested by Agent Clark C. Wood,
of the Susquehanna County Hu-
mane Society on an unusual and
unsportsmanlike ¢harge of’ cruelty.
Accompanied by a single compan-
ion, the two in early evening drove
along a lonely road near Montrose
when they saw a strange animal
cross the road ahead of the car
lights.
It would appear that there was
a loaded gun in the car for upon
seeing the unknown animal ahead
of the car, the young man sprang
out and shot in the direction of
the moving object. It did not stop
and the man attempted to trail the
animal, which he later said he
“thought was a fox.” But as they
were unable to trace the animal they
went on their way.
The next morning neighbors along
this road discovered what had
every appearance of being the target
of the unlucky shot of the night
before. There had come to their
premises a pitifully injured fox-
hound, shot through the nostrils,
with the jaw broken so that the
lower jaw hung down helplessly. The

dog in this condition was unable to
eat or drink.
Investigation of the license tag
revealed who the owner was and he
was promptly notified. A confession
was obtained from the man who
was alleged to have done the shoot-
ing on the previous night and he
was placed under arrest for carrying
loaded firearms on the public high-
way and for the shooting at a li-
censed dog. The injured foxhound
was taken to the humane shelter
and destroyed. The arrested man
was sentenced to thirty days in the
Upon his release from jail, he was
arrested by the Humane Society on
a charge of cruelty to animals, tak-
en before Justice of the Peace N.
H. Wilmarth, of New Milford, and
being unable to pay his fine, was
returned to jail. He remained there
for two days when relatives found
money to pay his fine and he was
released.
Following his final release the
draft board in the New York town
where he lived served papers on
Ladino Clover
Meets All Tests
Pennsylvania Farmers
Pleased With Results
Ladino clover in Pennsylvania is
finding its greatest use in grass mix-
tures for hay, grass silage, intensive
dairy pastures and for poultry
ranges, states County Agent J, D.
Hutchison. It is also being dehydrat-
ed and ground for additions to mix-
ed feeds. Ladino clover recovers
rapidly after it is cut or grazed be-
cause only the leaves and leaf stalks
(petioles) are removed; the stem
stays on the ground and in three to
four days new leaves are pushed out
which make the field look green.

Ladino clover pastures and ranges
will carry two to three times the
amount of livestock per acre as or-

preference. In Pennsylvania we do
not recommend that Ladino clover
replace any legume we are now us-
ing—rather it is to be considered as
an addition to our standard seed
mixtures now in use, One pound of
seed to the acre, added to any reg-

sown. No inoculation is needed, says
Mr. Hutchison.
Ladino clover is a big producer

T-B Cow Tests
Are Postponed
State Unable To Supply
Trained Veterinaries
The Luzerne County Agricultural
Extension Association has been ad-
vised by the Bureau of Animal In- |
dustry at Harrisbug that the Tri- |
ennial T. B, Test of Luzerne County
dairy cattle, that was scheduled for
February, 1942 will be delayed until
February 1945.
The reason for this delay is due
to the inability of the Bureau to
secure sufficient veterinaries to con-
duct the test, There is also only a
limited amount of Federal money
for expenditure in the field and for
payment of indemnities.
This delay has the approval of the
has a complete area test of its cat-
tle ‘and that the reaction of the last
test showed less than 0.2 of 1% in-
fection of tuberculosis.
In Luzerne County when the cat-
tle were tested in 1939 only 28 cat-
tle reacted, or a percentage of .2 of
the total county cattle population.
The herds wherein turberculosis
was found in 1939, will be retested
this year and herd owners who do
not wish to wait until 1945 to have
their cattle turberculin tested, have
the privilege of employing their own
local veterinarian to tuberculin test
their cattle at their own expense. |
However, before testing, they |!
should advise the Bureau of Animal
Industry at Harrisburg of the name
of their veterinarian they intend to
employ so that the Bureau may
grant authorization of the test to
the veterinarian.
In herds operating under the in-
dividual plan (owner’s expense) for
the Control of Bangs Disease, it is
suggested that when the bang’s Dis-
ease test is being made that the vet-
erinarian also make the tuberculin
test at the same time.
