Soldier Letter Mr. and Mrs. W. L. Feld, west Liberty street, have received the following letter .rom their son. Sgt. Allan E. Feld; At the Riviera May 16, 1941 D?ar Folks, !'m Just getting around tot hat letter I said jl would write as roon as I got here. Boy! this is the life. They call it 'G. I. Paridise," this Rest Center of t': French Riviera, and that phrase doesn't miss ;t by far. Let me tell you a little about it: You may have heard something about it. The army has taken over several of the first-rate hotels (I'm at the Plaza) here in the resort city of Nice. The whole rlace is "off limits" to officers, there is no saluting, and for the first time in my l.ft> as a soldier I wear whatever X Want. There is no uniform prescribed. There are many ways to spend your time, and that also is up to yourself. By day its nice to take a sun bath along the shores of the Mediteranian Sea or play tennis or ride bikes or just sit around. By night, the n.te-cluds are all open until 12 p. m. About a half dozen of these are also run strictly for the E. M. and tlr-ir invitation. Incidentally there are a great number of very pretty girls aiound here. We are getting caught up on oui ’onversation wdth the fair sex, it is, as you know, strictly out back in Germany. Looking back on what I have just wr.tten, I see that I haven’t really done this place its rightful due. To do so would require just a little writing and at the present, I can't help feeling a little lazy. But I'll have more to say about it as I write again. Maybe I'll write a travelog on the place. By rvw, I presume, you must know all about the point-system. I can total mine as follows: 28 mmths service, 28 po.nts; 16 months overseas, 16 points: 2 participation stars, 10 points for a total of 54 points and I'm afraid that's all. So you can see just abrrtit where I stand. But <• n't worry, if they send us to the Pacific, I'll get myself the Congressional Medal of Honor or so. me thing and come home. Seriously though, things aren't too bad and to quote my pater "we shall see what we shall see". Well I think I shall go for a I ttb sunning along the Prnmenade. I'll write more later. Maybe rot much 'till I get back to Germany but I'll write ir ire then. Best Love to all, Allan FARMERS I RGED TO INSPECT HAY MOWS
The fragrant odor of new-mown hay is too often followed by the ominous smell of smoke from a disastrous fire from spontaneous combustion. A barn fire caused from heating hay is almost a sure loss of the build ng and its contents, even with adequate
rural fire fighting equipment. Loss of the building may be prevented, says R. C. Shipman, extension agricultural engineer at Purdue University, if periodic inspection of the hay is made and it is removed from the barn in case it reaches the critical temperature. It is seldom that good quality hay will reach a temperature of more than 120 degrees F. Temperature observations of hay may be made with a hay probe and therometer. A common dairy thermometer is satisfac'.••ry. The probe may be made of one half inch pipe or conduit. A pa nted plug is placed in one end and a scries of three-eights inch holes drilled in the side of the pipe just above the plug. The pipe may be pushed into the hay and the thermometei lowered in the pipe .The thermom.ter should be left long enough to record actual temperature, and removed quickly iOr observation. A pointed piece of hard wood cove molding or pole grooved to hold the thermometer also may be used. In Purdue Extension Leaflet 229, the following instructions are given: 150 degrees F.—Entering the danger zona. Temperature observations snould be made daily, 160 degrees F.—(Danger. Temperature observations and mow inspections should be made everv four hours. 175 degrees F.—Hot spots or fire pockets may be anticipated. Stop all ventilation. Call fire department for standby service. 185 degeres F.— Remove hot hay. A fire department' pump with an. ample supply of water should be ready to quench the Hanes which probably will develop when air comes in contact with the hot, spoiled hay. 210 degrees F.—Critical! Hay almost sure to ignite. Copies of Leaflet 228. which makes a complete coverage of the subject of spontaneous combustion, may be obtained, free of charge, from aany Indiana county agricultural agent.

ASK FAIR CANCELLATION WASHINGTON, June 2—The Office of Defense Transportation requested today that all regional and state fairs be cancelled this year. The agency said, however, that local and county fairs that do not Involve use of inter-city transportation may be conducted this year on the same basis as trade shows. The request to managers of state and regional fairs, the agency said, was prompted by the fact that the "most critical phase of our wartime transportation is just ahead.”

To make sugar supplies go farther in preparing food for a family, or for community picnics and suppers this summer, Miss
Smith suggests:
1. Save extra juice from canned or cooked fruit. Use in sauce for puddings and fritters; to moisten and sweeten crumbs
Tzouanakis, for brown betty; to add flavor
and sweetening to gelatin desserts; to moisten and sweeten diced fresh fruit in fruit cup. 2. Save crumbs from cake and cookies to use in bread puddings. Use of sweet crumbs in such mixtures allows sugar to be cut
in half.
3. Instead of cake Postings j and fillings, which call for con-' siderable sugar, spread warm cake with marmalade, jam or preserves; serve jelly rolls, cus-tard-filled rolls, or Boston cream cake instead of frosted cake Sheet cakes require only half as much frosting as layer cakes. 4. Use dried fruits, rich in natural sugar, to add sweetness to desserts. Fill layer cake with chopped dried fruit, mixed with nuts, and moistened with honey or com sirup. Make steamed dried fruit into fruit whips, or fillings for pies, turnovers and tarts. Instead of sugar in the center of baked apples or pears, fill with raisins and com sirup or honey ,or with mincemeat. 5. Serve fresh fruits often as dessert. A tray or bowl of fresh whole fruit makes an attractive counter display. Fruit salad may take the place of a sweet des-

The award was nade for heroic service in. connection with military operations against the enemy near Parang, Luzon, Philippine Islands on 16 February 1845. Sergeant Everman’s unit had been halted in ts advance by enemy fire comn.j from a well concealed position. After repeated efforts lad been made to locate this emplacement Sergeant Everman ind another enlisted man were assigned tlfe task of locating and lestroying the fortification.

The platoon was patrolling in a mountainious area of Luzon which had been by passed in the swift American Advance. Several miles from its base, this unit of the 38th “Cyclone’’ Division was suddenly attack by a strong Nip force.

With only a few men slightly wounded the patrol drew back on a nearby ridge, and held off the enemy until the

Any moth that flutters around the lights of the house these mild spring evenings need cause tjhe housewife no worry about wools and furs. But the little moth that avoids the flame and hastily disappears into darkness is probably the clothes moth the culprit that lays the eggs— that hatch into tiny worms — that damage clothes and household fabrics at the rate of millions of dollars' worth a year. This and other characteristics of the clothes moth are worth the attention of the housewife, particularly this year when clothes and fabrics are scarce and precious, and need to be guarded against moth damage. Entomologists of the U. S. Department of Agriculture offer the following reminders; 1. Before putting winter clothes away, hang them in the sun for several hours and brush out all scams and pockets whte moths and woAne-.aiay hide. 2. Then, put clothes away, either in a t^nk that closes tight, or In a TJox that can be entirely sealed.

Special to Central Press • WASHINGTON—Chief concern among military planners now li how to keep America and her Allies alive to the Far Eastern w»r, and how to preserve fighting morale at top-notch for the big show across the Pacific.
