Last October, she mailed the package containing a half dozen items, to her brother, William Allee somewhere in the European theater of war.It went just before he started into the big German push and evidently failed to catch up with him at any time, because it was finally returned to Mrs. Cue with the notation that its condition did not warrant further attempts of the department to find the soldier to whom it ,vas addressed. It had been in the mails more than eight months and had been carried thousands of miles, but failed to reach its destination.

In New Guinea, the 32nd Division and four Australian brigades took part against the tricky and dirty Japanese. Wc Yanks and Aussics ran against stiff defenses; bunkers made of cocoanut logs, snipers in tre' tops, and various other dangerous emplacements. We have encountreed, tough Jap counter attacks, and we have been soaked and wet for days lying in slit trenches in the swamps of New Guinea. On D Day plus one, the 123 landed on Morotai, bypassing 27,00 Japs on Halmahera. In the meantime, however the 41st Division had invaded Biak and Hollandia. Since I left my old outfit the 32nd saw action on Li-vte and Luzon in the Philippines. On December 28, '44 we sighted the Golden Gate bridge and docked at Frisco. This was the happiest day of iiur lives. W< were sent home under the new ration plan. I w'as overseas 32 months and 6 days and away from home 3 years and 7 days Later the 126 Inf. Rogt. of the 32nd took part in the invasion of Saidor, N. G., trapping som, 1400 Nips. I happen to be in the first wave of this landing, but light opposition was met. In April ’44 our landings at Aitapc and Hollandia isolated an estimated 45,000 to 60,000 Japs in the Wewak area. During this time spent in the Pacific, I was fortunate in seeing such stars as: Gary Cooper, Bob Hope, Joe Brown, Lanny Ross Frances Langford, Una Merkel and Phyllis Brooks. In the Papuan territory ii December ’42 Lt. General Eiehelberger was walking along 8 jungle trail. I met him when T was carrying an arm load of C rations to the front lines. Th. General and I had a five minutt spat together in regarding ou rations. At that time, however General Eichelbergor was the second highest in command in the South Pacific. Sorrow came, when our Regimental Commander, Col. Lawrence Quinn was killed in a plane crash, while dropping supplies to our troops in the Owen Stanley mountains More bad news occurred when our Regimental Chaplain Baron was killed in a plane crash in the mountains. On Jan. 27. this year, I finished my furlough at my farm home near Bainbridge and traveled to Miami Beach for a ten day rest. From there I w ? as sent to Camp Robinson, Arkansas and was reassigned to a Cadre unit in the IRTC, to teach new 18 yr. old men jungle warfare.

Ay fuel and time-saver, and as processor for non.-aciU foods, ht pressure canner is "tops", iy.-i Miss Smith, Putnam county ime demonstration agent. It is usy to use and safe to use, providing the canner is kept clean and in working condition. The homemaker who is to perate the earner should beome ‘‘acquainted’’ with it—and vith th manufacturer's directions for using it. Even if the canner has been used many imes, the directions should be reread at the start of the canning season Canncrs vary, but proper care certain parts is essential on \' ry model. The kettle should )e kept clean just like any tchen utensil of similar materials. The cover with its pet>ck, safety valve, and pressure age should never be put in vater. To keep the lid clean, vipc it off with a soapy cloth, hen a clean, damp, cloth and dry it thoroughly. The pressure gauge should be ■heckc 1 whenever there is any ndlcation that it is not working properly. A gauge that does not ; st<: zero when coid, or one hat has been jarred or dropped n handling or storing needs becking. And this service is ivaila lc at the Puentm County igricultura; extension office, re■ilnds Miss Smith. The most important parts of he canner from the standpoint of operation are the openings of the petcock, safety valve, and pressure gauge. Clogged openings prevent correct and safe operaions -if the canner. A- dirty ifety valve is a danger—it may fail to work when pressure beomes too high. On the other land, a clean, safety valve is •bsolutely safe. Cleaning of these canner parts s simple and easy. The openings :o them may be cleaned with a toothpick; frequently, draw a tring or narrow strip of cloth hrough the petcock and safety valve. The ball and socket type • f safety valve should be uncrcwed and wiped clean after ach use of the canner. Occasionilly, both ball and socket should is cleaned with silver polish or vliiting.

He joined the Rainbow Division at Camp Gruber, Okla. in October 1944. His brother, Sgt. John R. Porter, is also serving wit!' the Army somewhere in Germany. Early in January the Rainbow Division, of which Pfc. Porter is a member, aided in repulsing the last frantic efforts of the German, army to smash back into France through Alsace in bitter fighting north of Strasbourg, at Hatten and Ritsershoffen and along the Moder River in the vicinity of Hagerau. In March it began its drive into Germany, which was halted only bv the tincond.tional surrender of the Nazi ar.ny.

Although no enemy was encountered during the first day of patrolling, pillboxes, food, ammunition dumps and a field gun, were uncovered and destroyed. The second day was much more exciting. Around noon our scouts picked up three Japs outposting a trail. Wh le they waited for the pattol leader, firing brok» out in the rear. The point men blasted away at three Japs, killing two and seriously wounding another one. who crawled into the underbrush .The patrol took care of him as he gave away his pose tions when he tried to toss a hand grenade at them. According to the 38th "Cyclone" Division soldiers, the shooting in the rear was caused by two Japs who had followed the patrol. Alert rear guards, however, wiped the pair out. The patrol suffered no causualties during the two-day excursion.

The seizure was ordered by President Roosevelt who sa d strikes at Ward properties threatened to spread and endanger the war effort. The strikes were in protest against repeated defiance by Sewell L. Avery, Ward’s chairman, of War Labor Board directives. Principally, Avery and Ward s refused to grant maintenance of union membership, as ordered by the WLB, on the ground, as Avery said in January, that "the battle of Ward’s for seven years has been to maintain Independence of the individual in his constitutional rights to join a union, not to join a union or to res gn from a union as ha wish-

Former President In* Had Wide Experienci
V«
By HELEN ESSARY Central Press Columnist
Herbert Hoover
• WASHINGTON—Herbert Hoover came back to the White How for more than a social call. For the first time in more than 12 years, he crossed the threshold that used to be his own front door step when he was president of the United States. In the years that have intervened since he rode down to the Capitol to see his successor, Franklin Roosevelt, take the .th of clot for tha world's number one job. Hoover ha» learned little of the technique of l iii. a scan politician or playing up to the pr. You knew that the instant he stepped from «:ir in front of the executive offices of the White House and waved the photographers away. He was also far from chummy when lie told ‘it news people: “I cannot discuss :rrs v.l: ii are the affairs of the president of the United States." Even If he wasn’t chatty he still lookc! able, conscientious American citizor I ’ v "^ he paused a moment outside Mr. Truman’s dosed
door.
It Is my bet—my daily double slive the bant* racing has been lifted—that not only I us Hoover
been offered the post of feeding Europe, but that he h
the offer.
Mr. Truman would not have asked the former pics rt to co. s to Washington for a publicly-known conference if he l> : ■ r/ a definite offer to make. Nor would Hoover have come If he had not been prepared to accept the offer. It Is my guess that all the preliminaries for a new ! Lover pchad been arranged before he saw the president. During tie minute conference with the chief executive, the details t re
upon.
It would he a wise decision to use Hoover’s gifts ard cxprrg cf * In devastated, hungry Europe. His si/bcess as food adminu-tra^-Europe after the first World war has'never been quest u 'I ■ ••■i people have believed It a waste of first class, much-nce l ig a ‘ cn to let Hoover’s talents go unused so long. ,, The former president, who is the only living ex-pres: out v _ very fit. He made few visits to Washington during IL - 1 . administrations. Everybody who saw Hoover yeotcr y sa1, ' j
looked better than he had for many a day.

• ONE OF THE STUPIDITIES for which some mcm' '= rf u gress will have to answer come next election day is the ! ^ that goes on when an appropriation for a hospital Is s . ^ I gress appropriates hundreds of millions of dollars for . It pays expense accounts of hundreds Of thousands of d , _ trips to Europe, Asia and Africa in order that some of its may gaze on destruction. iatiol i But It goes niggardly over the prospect of a modest ' . for much needed housing and care of sick people In the Di-
Columbia.
I listened to such goings on In the hearings before the Heuse
trlct committee on whether the proposed Medical Center mi ^ ^ this number of beds.or that number of beds! The obj. dion!'i ^
hospital and to increasing the number of hospital be is f'
trict sounded so silly. Everybody knows there arc not enouf ^ pitals In the District now. Everybody knows that Wash in*. V0I1
the neighborhoods over the District line are growing so can’t keep up with the population on an adding machine. A Medical Center such as Senator Millard Tydings Is trying to get would comblhe three hospitals. It will operate with modem equipment at the cost of one. Should there be a fire in any one of the three hospitals I’ve mentioned—In fact In almost any hos-
pital In the capital of the nation—there would be a lr „ m tM
holocaust that would disgrace the country. The fire Washington hoapltala are so terrific the mere telling of w
'me ill with fear.
