Wins Him Army's Silver Star

(Continued from Page One)

Cpl. Sweazey (he has since been promoted to sergeant) was acting as scout for his squad in an as-

sault on Feb. 12. He “charged a machine gun nest with fixed bayonet under direct fire from the enemy position and reduced resistance which allowed the other members of his platoon to successfully continue the attack. The courage and devotion to duty displayed by Cpl. Sweazey is a credit to the command and deserving of the highest praise.” In a letter written June 2, Sgt.

Sweazey gives his account of the

action: “On the morning of Feb. attacked. On the 10th of Feb. we pulled out of Gafsa at night and rode in trucks 25 miles to a French outpost and walked 12 miles across the desert to a few hills, It was getting light so we crawled under some rocks to keep out ot sight of planes for we were

is offering to teach men from other industries a new cotton belt splicing technique which increases the efficiency of machinery and saves thousands of dollars of time and materials. The technique, discovered accel

Westinghouse employee, is a special method of cutting and cementing the cotton web belting. Officials claim it uses no critical materials, increases production through less slippage and ma-chine-down time due to broken belts, saves the time of maintenance men and production operators and is less costly than other belting. A splice can be made in five minutes, and a half-hour later, when the cement is dry, the belt is ready for the 8 machine,
