Small Chicago Boy Is ~ One-Man A.-A. Battery.

CHICAGO, April 23 (U. P.)i— It was a clear day overhead an ho Jap planes had been reporied, in this vicinity, but Freddie Hall, 2, wasn’t so sure. Unlimbering his double-barreled shotgun, he | appointed himself a one-boy anti aircraft battery just in case, Freddie was observed by Patrolmen James Sullivan and Clifford Bessey as he sat on a Madison street corner curb training his toy gun skyward expectantly.’ They mistook him at first for a ‘duck hunter because of his blue hunting jacket, red sweater and red pants. As the policemen approached him, Freddie cried suddenly: “Here comes one now!” Sighting his gun, he discharged both barrels with a loud “Bang; Bang!” But his aim wasn’t so good, and turning ‘to the policemen, he said disgustedly: “Missed him!” “Shooting at ducks?” the offi- - : cers asked. : “No,” explained Freddie scornfully, “Zero planes.” + Freddie’s frantic mother collected him nine hours later at the police-station.

‘Chairman Charles E. Foreman of ration board 49-2, Broad Ripple, Checks an application with Mrs. Johanne Gulling, board 2’s nominee for champion volunteer war worker. Mrs. Gulling, a housewife and mother of two children, has worked at the board without pay six full days a

ration board 49-2 out at Broad Ripple. Board members and workers haven’t found any real explanation yet, unless it’s the distracting influence of spring, but folks in the Broad Ripple territory are having a lot of trouble these days hanging on to those precious ration books. And ‘when they lose their books, they don’t do it halfway but usually lose the whole bunch. “Between lost books and the folks who didn’t or couldn’t hold back

chilly spring mornings,” says board chairman Charles E. Foreman, “we manage to keep things humming. Added to this, measles and housecleaning are cutting quite a Swath in our volunteer staff.”

Only Five Paid Workers

Those volunteers are an important part of ration board operation because with a paid staff of only five persons, including chief clerk George N. E. Smith, board 49-2 never could hope to handle the job of rationing for 35,000 persons without them. The board serves that part of Marion county north of 56th st. Broad Ripple board’s nomination for champion volunteer is Mrs. Johanne Gulling, attractive housewife and mother of two youngsters, who has been on the job six days a week just like a paid employee ever since rationing started. Not only the volunteers, however, but the “rationees,” too, are taking rationing in stride, board members find. Mr, Foreman has just this word of warning to north siders:

“Hang on to those books. It's going to get tougher to get them replaced, particularly if losses become prevalent. And remember the rules about ration ks of deceased persons—they have to be turned in within five days of the holder's death.”

Few Are Turned In The latter point, he said, must

apply to a considerable number of {} =

persons. In the past three weeks, only three books have been turned in for persons who have died, and death rate figures indicate that is far too low a figure. : Members of board 40-2, all of whom serve without pay, are Mr. Foreman, Lucius 8. French and Homer E. Lathrop, loan men; Dr. H. M. Gelston, Butler university professor; Frank G. Laird, advertising “man; Robert L. Craig, food broker; Raymond E. Clayton, flower salesman; Robert C. Caldwell, gas range manufacturer; Mrs, Rose Coryell and Mrs. Mabel King, housewives; Harrison Bennett, cement man, and John Kittle, coal man,

“I recognize that food and gasoline rationing and rent control are unpopular measures and in a way undemocratic.

He's One-Man Angel of Air Forces Relief Society.

NEW YORK, April 23 (U, P.).— world war I ace, was revealed today as the civilian “angel” of a relief group designed to aid American fliers of

world war II. Accepting the chairthanship of the national A. A. U. track and field games to be held here June

closed that “just as an ordinary citizen” he was conducting a one-man drive to raise $10,000,000 for ‘the army air forces aid society.

means more than anything I know. It is the outstanding thing they crave and ask for.

“The A. A, U, is giving the pro-|
