CHARLES BHOWN WRITES

—

Mr. ami Mrs. Walter Brown, south Indiana street, have received the following letter from their son, Staff Sergeant Charles Walter Brown. His address is S 'Sgt. C. W. Brown ASN 36148443, Co. “E” 363rd Engrs (SS) A. P. O. 523, % Postmaster New York, N. Y. Somewhere in Iran July 17, 1943. Dear Mother and Dad: Just a line to let you know a little of the facts about our trip and the place we are In at the preaent time. We left Camp Clalrborne, La. in March, Traveling by train accross the southern part of the United States to California. We were camped there in the Staging area for a little over two weeks when the order came to move on. We rode to a port and got aboard a big ship, can’t tell you the name, but 1 can tell you she used to belbng to Italy. She was seized by the U. S. some time ago, and converted Into a Transport. We sailed late in March and fifteen days later arrived In our first Port. We stayed there four and then sailed on, Touching three more ports in as many different Countries, before reaching odr destination. We arrived Ih Iran after fifty five days on the water. I weis beglning to wonder if I was In the Army or the Navy. We saw Flying Fish, Sharks and lots Of Sea Gulls and Albatross. There was a rumor out that there was a Jap Submarine close, but we didn’t see lt.( Thank the Lord) Iran is so different from Einything I have ever seen it’a hard to explain. There are all Nationalities here. Polish, Russian , English, Indian, Armenian, Iranian, and American. While walking along the street on Saturday night I have seen more uniforms in a half hour than I ever knew existed in the whole world. We have a nice camp, and the food is very good. We have a nice Canteen where you can purchase most any thing in the States. When we go into town it is' not uncommon to see the natives washing, shaving, or drinking out of t|ie gutter. That is their only supply cf Water. I understand civilization started hare in Persia, if that is trui I don’t believe they have progreased much since the start. Every thing here Is aS It was in the States one hundred years ago. I have learned a little Persian, however the Persians learn English quicker than we learn their language. They call all of us “Johnnie”. There are lots of beggers on the streets, and they think all Americans are millionaires. Everything here is Just about three Umea as expensive as it was back home. A meal that would cost thirty fiva cents in the States is well over a dollar over here. American cigarettes in town cost eighty cents a pack. Wa have to be careful as there is a lot of disease. 1 hope to come home through Berlin, and then I will have gone around the world. (There is a fellow there I would like to meet by the name of “Adolph”) We have traveled eighteen thousand miles already. There are lota of people who think the most important man in any command la the General, but we do not agree with them. We think the most important man is Cpl. ‘‘Tommy” Gordon our Mall Man. A* for the “Garden of Eden” don't let them kid you, it’s a desert. Ripley will bear me out In that. As the Pe rala na say “Keedah Hahfiz” (Good bye) for now.

GOOD PASTURES ARE ANSWER TO PRODUCTION Good pastures are the answer to the most efficient and economical p.roI duction of hogs, dairy products, and poultry, report Purdue University agricultural specialists in the leaflet, "Pasture Is Your Cheapest Feed,” recently prepared by them in cooperation with the Indiana Feed Conser-

vation Coincil.

An acre of good alfalfa, clover or rape pasture will carry 15 to 20 fullfed hogs from weaning to market. These hogs will go to market, each weighing 220 pounds, on 15 to 20 bushels less grain and 400 to 600 pounds less protein supplement than similar hogs full fed in dry lot. Alfalfa usually is the best pasture crop. It has a higher feeding value, stays green and succulent longer thar any other pasture crop, and last? through a number of seasons. How ever, oats or oats and rape will furn-

sh the earliest good hog past,ire of iny crop seeded in the spring, and i 3 .he best substitute where neither egumes nor grasses are available. The dairyman is advised to fit his lerd to the farm, which mean s choosng crops adapted to the soil, . q that ■ach acre produces as much milkiroducing feed as possible, a good lairy feed budget will include a pasure program that provides 180 days f pasture in the northern one-third-.00 days in the central one-third; nd 220 days in the southern thin! >f the state. Plenty of succulent pasture given o flocks of laying hens or young hickens will do much toward over•oming many dificiencies of their diet ue to shortages of milk, meat scraps, ish meal, alfalfa leaf meal or vitamin grriers. Copies of "Pasture Is Your Cheapst Feed’ 1 are available at any Inic.na county agriculaural extension jffice.

meet them over the Buin-Faisi Anchorage. At the south end of Bougainville Island, 120 miles northwest of New Georgia, sixteen Allied fighter planes met thirty Zeros and shot

down seven for a loss of one.

A night reconnaissance plane attacked and destroyed an enemy troop-carrying barge off Vella Lavella Island, north of Kolombangara

Island.

Similar anti-barge attacks were made Friday along the coast of New Guinea, where the Japanese are attempting to move sea-borne supplies to their garrisons at Salamaua, objective of Allied la.nd forces, and lae, twenty-one miles to the north. Above and below Madeig enemy supply base 160 miles northwest of Lae, Mitchell bombers strafed and bombed enemy barge concentrations, destroying or damaging many at Bostrem Bay, near Alexishafen, a.nd wrecking others in a coastal sweep below Madang to the Saidor area. Off Kaugenau in Dutch New Guinea a Hudson bomber left a 400-ton enemy merchant vessel damaged and standing still in a big oil slick. A Japanese plane attacked a small Allied vessel in the Arafura Sea north of Australia Friday morning stnd it sank a few hours late.r. One man is missing and three were injur,

•d.

Constant air attacks on Japanese shipping such as those made along the New Guinea coast had contributed materially to the downfall of the enemy garrison at Munda.

JUST SAY “IRENE”

SAN DIEGO, Cal. (UP)- During World War I, when Lloyd George was first beginning to make things hum, the popular cry was "Let Georg* Do It.” Recently here, the magic sesame among gasoline bootleggers was “Irene Sent Me.” The OPA ferreted out a gasoline black market where g«soline was sold without coupons at above price level ceilings by customers merely saying, "Irene Sent Me 1 ’, Furthermore to OPA’s surprise It de. veloped that ''Irene” was a real 11 v j person. They have not revealed (whether she la a “lady” or a gentle-

Ohwle* W. man,”

TURKEY SALE BAN

Effect of the ban on turkey sales except to the government will not be felt immediately by civilian consumers, according to E. O. Pollock, director of the Great Lakes Region of the Food Distribution Administration. “Since marketing of the turkeys needed for overseas shipment to our Armed Forces is not expected to begin before mid-August,” Mr. Pollock explained, “turkeys in storage before August 2—the effective date of the embargo—may be used without restriction until about August 16. After that date it is expected that, by amendment to the Embargo Order (FDO 71), all further civilian uses of turkeys, through hotels, restaurants, dining car services and home consumption, will be prohibited until the request of the Armed Forces for early season 1943 crop turkeys is met.” It is hoped that the government’s needs will be met by October 1. Under the present order only those live or dressed turkeys marketed August 2 and after are affected, and may be neither sold, bought, processed, or stored for the duration of the embargo, except as authorised by designated governmental agencies In support of FDO 71 are mandatory orders to be issued by military authorities to processors which will require them to sell the turkeys they buy or process to the designated agencies. Turkeys In storage before August 2 were excluded from the provision of the order to give holders an opportunity to dispose of season-end storage stocks before celling prices are reduced in September and October. The contemplated ban, August 16, is Intended to curtail the possible development of black market activities and help speed up procurement of turkeys needed for the holiday dinners of American fighting men and women overseas,
