Feb. 13, 1944 Citizens of Napanee: I am sorry I’m so late, tut I do want to take* time to. thank ithe people of Nappanee for the very nice Christmas package I got. I’m sure everyone in service appreciated it. I have learned to appreciate Nappanee more in the last year than ever before and I’m sure it will be a grand time when we all can meet again and call Nappanee our home once again. Again I want to say many thanks and goodbye. Yours with the best of luck, ! My address is: Pvt. Eugene L. Mikel, 35551643, Medical Section, Station Hospital, S. A. A. A. 8., Santa Ana, Calif. ! Mr, and Mrs. J. A. Abe 1 received a letter from their son, Lt. CoL Julian Abell, stationed in England. The letter, dated Mar. 5, stated he recently had visited a Red Cross center and while looking at the record found the , names of three. Nappanee boys, Dale and Kenton Stouder, and Raymond Swarts. Some time back a notice carried in this column about these three boys from the city, telling some of their experiences while on a short furlough and it is likely that it was at this time the three signed the records at the Red Cross Cento. It was not like meeting the boys personally, but it did bring a touch of home. February ;5, ’44 Southwest ?acific To Citizens of Nappanee ! C/O Advance-News, Nappanee, ind. Dear Mends: i 1 want to thank each and every one of you for that "swell” Christmas box. It was appreciated beyond words.

the delay I assure you it was greatly appreciated. It came through in fine shape. The fruit cake I shall save and eat with ice cream (me of these nights, the candy is being eaten now. It sure makes one feel good to receive such nice gifts from friends, especially after being away for over two years, and it looks as though it’ll be another year before I see good Old Indiana again. I sure hope this thing is all over by that time too. I sort of keep up on the news from around Nappanee, as I receive several letters, also get the Advance, which I enjoy very much. As it is time to go to the movie I’ll say,-So-Long. Give my regards to all, and I remain, A friend, Worth T. Ganshorn Lt and Mrs. Wayne L.

Two Nappanee high school seniors were sworn into the army aviation branch of the service at Baer Field, Fort Wayne, on March 16th, and will be called for training upon reaching their 18th birthday, the two being Samuel I.

This means motorists mustj make eight stamps last for a \ period of three months, but the higher quantity per stamp saves, work on the part of service sta-! tion operators in handling of the stamps.

WATERFORD HOME IS DAMAGED BY FIRE TUESDAY MORNING Fire on Tuesday pioming practically gutted the enclosed back porch of the home of Don Kaser, located east of State Road 15 in Waterford, when a gasoline stove flared up, setting fire to the interior. Mrs. Kaser was heating a tub of water but was not in the back porch when the fire started. The interior became a mass of flames almost immediately. The rural township fire truck manned by Don Ganger and Willis Kistler of the Goshen department answered the call at 8:15 a. m., and laid two lines of hose from the booster tank to extinguish the flames and prevent their spread to the rest of the housee. They were assisted by members of the township volunteer unit and neighbors. Three baskets of clothing belonging to the members of the Kaser family were partially burned, as was a number of other articles stored on the porch. A washing machine was damaged as Wfcethe stove. The loss was covered by insurance.

SEASON FOR '“GREENS" COMES FIRST ON LIST FOR CANNING AND EATING. 1 The season’s first crop for eating or canning is one that requires no planting, no hoeing, no weeding. In fact, it’s the weeds themselves —young, succulent, their tender green leaves filled with vitamins and minerals, says Mrs. Katharine S. Benner, Elkhart Cos. Home Demonstration AgentMany families even prefer the tender young wild greens that grow in yard, field or fence row to the cultivated varieties that appear later. The best known of wild greens is the dandelion, which —like cress and shepherd’s purse—appears early in the season. A bit later the crop of edible wild greens include red sorrel, curled dock, white top, peppergrass, poke weed, puralene, duckweed, mustard, pig weed, lambs quarter, wild lettuce and wild radish. Another weed —milkweed sprouts —may be cooked and served like asparagus. The one early green that must not be eaten is the rhubarb" leaf, for it may cause illness or even death. Wild greens should be used as food while very young and tender —otherwise, the leaves become fibrous and bitter. Each green may be used separatly or in combination with others. They may be used raw in salads, as cooked greens, or for canning. For any use they should be' washed thoroughly, by lifting the leaves through several pans of water. .The only liquid needed for cooking them is that which sticks to the leaves when they are washed. Cooking takes only 8 to 10 minutes in a tightly covered container. Canning is no different for wild greens than for tame varieties. To can them, wash, remove fibrous stems, and cook the leaves in an uncovered pan just long enough to wilt them. Pack loosely, while hot, into clean hot jars. Cut through the greens with a sharp knife, and cover with boiling liquid or water, leaving one-half inch of head space at the top of the Jar. Seal and process. Processing time for the pressure cooker at 15 pounds is 60 minutes for pints, 65 minutes for quarts; in the boiling water bath, the processing time is 3 hours.

FIELDHOUSE OFFERS SITE NEAR COUNTY LINE FOR STATE HOSPITAL Charles H. Fieldhouse, of Elkhart, Tuesday offered a 30-acre plot near the county line bridge to the state on which to erect the proposed northern Indiana crippled children’s hospital. The offer was presented to the committee of state representatives and senators, who are inspecting sites in northern Indiana, at a meeting of the state committee and a committee from the Elkhart Chamber of Commerce Tuesday morning in the Munici- ! pal building at Elkhart. After a luncheon at Hotel Elkhart, the committee Tuesday afternoon inspected the Fieldhouse site as well as several others suggested by the Chamber committee. The 30 acres offered as a donation by Mr. Fieldhouse is in the comer of a larger tract of land owned by Mr. Fieldhouse. It is situated on the southeast comer of the intersection of W. Indiana avenue and the county line road. In a letter to R. A. Proctor, chairman of the Chamber of committee, Mr. Fieldhouse pointed out that the site is about 300 feet south .ot the county line bridge over the St. Joseph river, bordered by two paved roads and is level ground. Other locations suggested by the Chamber committee included the old driving park, an area of more than 60 acres, and land between the St. Jospeh river and the West Lexington avenue road near the U. S. 20 by pass. WORD RECEIVED HERE OF DEATH OF MRS. EMMA FREESE OF FOSTORIA, O.
