dogs gtfl by without a sting, but
how about today? It makes me
dizzy to watch those big fat bum-
blebees who swing lazily just over
us and pop their heads in and out
of those althea blooms. Honey, me
eye, they can have that honey.

Our imaginary mind is over-
exerted just to think of bow pow-
erful the new atom bomb is. One
cupful of atom bomb material is
enough to destroy a city the size
of Dallas. You can imagine the
rest. A suggestive pep talk to the
Jap bomber pilots is "U.S. up 'n
atom."

With Supply
Service In China
Headquarters Services of Sup-
ply, Kunming, China,—Supply is a
big job of American forces in
China.
To find ways and means of
breaking the Japanese blockade
against China, to get supplies to
fighting Chinese forces, and to aid
where possible in correcting mal-
adjustments of civilian economy of
a refugee people—these were ob-
jective of original US military mis
sions to China.
Today supplies are flowing in.
Eighty per cent of this volume
flows through a Base General De-
pot in this area. When the big
story of China is written it will
have to include the tremendous job
of much accomplished with so lit-
tle by the depot. There's not much
glamor. Depot operation is hard,
routine work for laboring GIs and
plenty of paper work for staff.
The Base General Depot grew
from a small Advance Section de-
pot, suffered growing pains, but
came into its own with formation
of the C^'na Theater and the in-
creased tonage resulting from more
and larger planes over the "hump"'
opening of Stillwell road, and con-
struction of India-China pipeline.
The depot now has more than 90
warehouses to handle its wide var-
iety of supplies.
All types of tonnage now com-
ing into China, with exception of
Air Corps technical supplies, are
handled by the Base General De-
pot, where they are stocked for
issue through advanced depots to
using American and Chinese units
in the field. Supplies are given a
priority for movement based on
tactical situation. The depot works
24 hours a day to minimize turn-
around time for vitally needed car-
go planes. Other kinds of trans-
portation are used—rail, motor
trucks, waters and pony cart fleets
—to haul supplies. Chinese and
American soldiers work hand in
hand on the big job.
Technically trained units includ-
ing Quartermaster, Transporta-
tion, Engineer, Ordnance, Signal,
I Chemical Warfare and Medical sup
ply sections handle the supplies
through the depot.
Forty-six states are represented
in the roster of these units. Among
them Pfc. Monroe F. Fincher, At-
lanta, Route 3.

Used Kitchen Fats
Are Badlv Needed
"The nearest market is the near
est collection depot for used kit-
chen fats." Frank W. Underwood,
District Director of CCC's office
of supjJy, USD A, said today, pay
ing tribute to the complete cover-
Inge grocerymen and butchers give
each community to make it conven

"Never before has such a rela-
tionship existed between the butch-
er and all of his customers," Under
wood pointed out. "Every customer
can barter used kitchen fats for
meat, shortening and butter at the
rate of four cents a pound plus two
red points."
So many collection stations con-
tinuously remind housewives of the

Marcus P. Waddill
Returns to States
After serving two years and
seven months overseas Pete Wadill
has returned to States with an
honorable discharge from the Army
One year of this service was spent
in Panama Canal zone and one
year and seven months in European
Theater of War. He took part in
the Normandy, Northern France
and Rhine-land campaigns and his
decorations and citations consist of
the EAME campaign medal with
3 bronze stars and one bronze In-
dian arrowhead, American Theater
campaign medal and American de-
fense service medal.
Pvt. Wadill was hospitalized dur-
ing, Jan. and Feb. of this year
with frozen feet but came out in
fine condition and helped finish
the fight.
He says the happiest moment of
his life came when he sighted the
Liberty ship at Antwerp, Belgium
which was to bring him home. To
Pvt. Pete there is no place on earth
like the states.
He says he doesn't feel like a
"returned hero" but just a boy very
very glad to be home who wants
only a chance of a good job and to
settle down.

the direction of Professor J. An-
drew Ponder, of the Peabody Col-
lege Division of Music, to whom it
was dedicated.
Doctor Almand is a graduate of
Louisiana Oollege and has his mas

A.A.A. Farm News
From Roy E. Barnett
From the interest being shown in
1945, we think the amount of soil-
conservation practices being car-
ried out this year will exceed those
of previous years. The extent of
practices carried out last year are
only a small payment per cent of
the conservation work needed in
Cass County. Congress has made
available funds to assist farmers
in carrying out these much needed
practices. Cass County farmers
should go the AAA office and find
out how much they can earn. If
it is inconvenient for him to visit
county office, he should see his
community committeeman, as he
has the amount of the soil building
allowance.
There were 105 producers who
planted winter legumes last year.
| We hope to more than double that
number for 1945. There is no bet-
ter way to increase production
than to seed your cash crops fol-
lowing the turning under of win-
ter legumes.
Cass County Cooks
Are Urged To Save
All Used Fats
Every housewife in Cass county
is urged to save all used fats to
build up a depleted national reserve
and to help head off any further
cut iu hard-to-get civilian items
containing fats and oils, F. W. Un-
derwood, District Representative,
CCQ's office of supply, announced
this week.
Reduction in output of many
civilian items several weeks ago
was necessary because the national
stockpile of fats and oils is the
lowest in two years and further
drains cannot be placed on the!
dwindling supply now.
Collections in this section of the
state so far this year are below
those for the same period la.it
year, according to current OPA re-
cords. For the first four months,
486,208 pounds were turned in by
housewives, compared to
pounds last year. t
While some of the decrease can
be attributed to less meats during
recent months, it indicates addition |
al salvage is necessary to meet this
year's goal of 250,000,000 pounds.
If every housewife in Cass county
will cooperate in the fat salvage
campaign and scrape, drain, scoop
and save every drop of used fats,
she will be doing her full part in
the national program, Underwood
explained.
Any complaints should be refer-
red to WPB's county fat salvage
committee or Extension Service of-
ficials, he said, adding his district
office stands ready to assist them
when complaints cannot be solved
otherwise.

Clean Up Your
Peach Orchards
Since most of your peach crop
has been gathered, growers should
begin plans for the next crop.
All fruit on the ground, as well
as that which has dried on the
tree, should be picked up and des-
troyed. If you fail to do this, plum
curculio worms will develop into
mature insects and spend the win-
ter in the trash around the orchard.
These are the adults that you
have such a hard time controlling
during the spring. Brown rot fun-
gus lives on the dried-up fruit
whether on the ground or on the
tree. Brown rot fungus will also
spend the winter on your trees and
then be ready to attack the spring
peaches. This is an important step
in controlling two major pests of
peaches.
All dead or broken limbs should
be cut out of the trees to prevent
further decay of the tree. The or-
chard should be given a thorough
cultivation, but do not plow or disc
two deeply.

awarded for participation in the

he made the D-Day amphibious as-
sault.
The 36th Infantry Division has
seen action on two D-Days: Italy
arid Southern France. To its credit
arc such battles as San Pietro and
Cassino, the Rapido River, and
Anzio. It fought at Montelimar,
where the German Ninetenth Army
was annihilated, and drove across
the Sainte Marie Pass of the Vosg-

Truck Load Limit
Increased In Texas
Austin—The 10,000 pound i n-
crease in Texas truck load limit
which will give a permissable load
of 48,000 pounds, will result in a
tonnage of approximately 20 per
cent on the 20,000 vehicles operated
by the Texas Trucking Industry,
Lynn B. Shaw, General Manager
of the Texas Motor Transportation
Association, said today.
The new load limit becomes ef-
fective September 4, ninety days
after adjournment of legislature
and Shaw urged all truck owners
to immediately register present eq-
uipment for the amount of gross
tonnage expected to be hauled.
This will mean an additional $65.
each on approximately 20000 units
an increase in annual revenue of
$1,300,000 to the Counties and
State.
Shaw said the trucking industry
had been operating under a great
strain to effectively handle all
war important materials and at
the same time maintain maximum
safety standards. He declared that
10 per cent of accidents on high-
ways involving trucks had been due
to inability to secure replacement
parts and tires. From a mainten-
ance standpoint, operators are ex-
pecting relief by early fall.
He pointed out that average
truck life is now in excess of a
quarter million miles, more than
twice the average pre-war milage.
Shaw declared that although war
demands had made this necessary,
it is not economical to operate a
fleet of motor trucks for that
length of time.

First Anniversary of
Rev. Dean Elkins
Last Sunday marked the first
anniversary of Rev. Dean Elkin's
pastor of the First Baptist church
of Atlanta, Texas.
Rev. Elkins came here one year
ago from a very successful pas-
torate at Turnertown which is in
the heart of the East Texas oil
field. His work in Atlanta has been
marked with unusual success. The
report for the year shows the Sun
day school has averaged 274; there
have been 155 additions to the
church, 67 of these coming by con
version and baptism; $19,272.40 in
tithes and offerings given through
the Sunday school and church; and
$5,780.15 of this amount has been
given to missions and benevolents
causes outside of the local church.
Not only has he been busy in
his own church, but he has done
much other work. He is a trustee
of the East Texas Baptist College;
member of the District Board; Vice
Moderator of Enon Association and
President of the Pastor's Confer-
ence. He has been one of the lead
ers in associational and Young
Peoples work, and also has found
time to preach in seven revival
meetings including the one in his
own church in November. He has
declined more than fifteen other
invitation for revivals during the
year.
Brother Elkins was in Nolan,
Texas in a revival meeting last
Sunday, and was not present for
the services here in his church. Dr.
H. 1). Bruce, President of the East
Texas Baptist College of Marshall
preached at both services. The
pastor will return in time to preach
in the services on Sunday, August
12.
David Fouche Writes
From Nice, France
Dearest Mom and Pop:
After having conquered Austria,
I decided I deserved 7 days' rest,
so here I am in Nice on the French
Riviera, all dressed up and lots of
places to go. On the way I stopped
at Gay Paree for 24 hours and
did a lot of sight-seeing and thoro-
ughly enjoyed every mil. ate of it.
I'm the guest here in Nice of the
USRRA (U. S. Riviera Recreation
Area) staying at the swankiest hot
el you ever did see. Our bedrooms
are so swell that if no eyes were
on me. I'd "liberate" the whole bag
of tricks on a 2^ ton truck and
take it all back with me to Linz in
Austria
Nice certainly is a fine city, all
white with red-roofed villas and
superdupper hotels and most mag-
nifique (French for magnificent)
waterfront you ever did see, and
some how the Mediterranean Sea
is so terribly blue. There are spe-
cial trips for us restees and bike
rides and for big thrills, we go for
buggy rides behind old worn-out
horses that galop furiously at ex-
actly l mph., so I won't get my
discharge for heart-failure, Mom
and Pop.
Think up a swell Reunion din-
; ner Mom and Pop, for probably
I'll be home the end of Sept., but
if you include any K rations, Mom
I'll be starting another world war
all of my own.
Take it easy and wait nicely for
me, and if you could see me now
you'd think I was an advt for some
sun-tan cream.
Be nice to me and forgive me
if this is my last letter for a few
weeks because I'm having lots of
fun in Nice and although there's
a Limey specially to do our very
private mail in this swank hotel,
I'm not going to write again from
Nice but remember I am always
thinking of you, Always.
Lots of love and God bless you,
David Fouche.
