Page 12 THE WAYNESVILLE MOUNTAINEER THURSDAY, Juxe ,r - f NEWS FROM FT. JACKSON' 14 i i I A Rarity in the Equine World By Bobby Sloan. .A night which will long remain outstanding in the memory of ev ery member of Company H the en tire 120th Infantry Regiment, , in fact is the night of June 9-10 As I write this, it is about 6:00 a, m. on the morning of the tenth and Colonel Manning just issued an order for the surgeon to see that all men were checked over this morning after the gruelling ex perience, which gives you an idea of how tough it was. When the retreat was over, we were in defensive positions back of Duck River, Tennessee. It began raining in the afternoon and al though the sky cleared and the moon was out about ten o'clock at night, still the road was covered with red clay, battered so long by the heavy trucks, that it be came like a thick soup deep enough to splash over the leggings of the men. And through this mud, ford ing streams, in utter blackness until the moon came out, the 120th Infantry marched twenty-one miles, it's rear guard acting as a cover ing force and fighting all the way (although there was some motor transportation available, due to the fact that the. rear guard re treat would have to be so sud den and complete once the main body of the regiment were safe be hind the new defense positions.) This morning the sun is shining. Experiences of a few hours ago now seem like a dream. But we did do it which shows that the regiment can take it. That, after all, is what these maneuvers are for. So, lulled with the ghost caress of remembered fatigue, sleep is coming with the sun. Kermit Murray has been de tached from Company H for spe cial duty, working with the um pires. attached to the 121st Infan try Regiment The umpires con trol all movements and actions, de ciding all matters in dispute, so of course this is an interesting as well as very instructive duty which Private Murray Jias been assign ed. v. Over the recent week-end, since home was out of the question, many of the boys took advantage of the Week-end passes overnight Sat urday to visit the Capital City of Tennessee, Nashville. The Grand Ole Op'ry Was an attraction which many soldiers attended, but the other points of interest in the city captured the attention of those unable to crowd into the broad' cast. The town overflowed with soldiers and the inhabitants show ing an example of the much-touted Southern hospitality, opened the doors of their ihomes in order that the soldiers could sleep, as all hotels, boarding places, and even city auditoriums were filled to capacity. A heavy downpour of rain Saturday night added to the confusion, ( Besides the usual points of in terest, many soldiers visited the newly erected Vultee Aircraft Corporation plant where planes already painted with camouflage are ready to be flown across the J f in 7 j hhW 1 Una Woodford, 16-year-old thoroughbred show mare, has good reason to be proud of her bouncing twin foals, an extreme rarity in the equine world.

The sun is just about ready to go dewn in the West, and the soldiers with it, to bed in pup-tents. ; It has been beautiful day, although we had the usual shower this afternoon. It was not much of a rain, and didn't even phase those soldiers who were swimming in what early this morning was a sector of "No Man's Land." This is a section of small streams. Several now together, to make up the Duck River, actually no larger than Richland Creek. Here were some good swimming holes, however, and for a mile or more up and down the stream sol diers in all states of undress did their washing, both of their clothes and themselves. A respite is prom ised tonight, so by tomorrow we will be all ready to go back to War. If you folks wonder why I don't have more mention of. Company H. Boys in the the column since I left Jackson it is due to the fact that I haven't so much as laid eyes on the company since we left the bivouac area at Chattanooga two weeks ago, except either passing the company entrucked or stand- ing beside a road when the com pany trucks go rushing by. Ex cept for Rid Carswell witih a "Jeep" full who came a few minutes ago to deliver the mail from the rear (we take it here and distribute it to the battalion headquarters, who in turn make distribution to the individual companies and special units). I haven't seen even my brother since we left Chattanooga. I know where they are and what they are doing at all times, though. because we have it on the maps here at regimental headquarters, and I can assure you that the gov ernment is certainly getting it's money's worth in salary from the work done by the company.

War Days Ho-hum! Nothing new under the sun, js there? When Secretary Ickes talks about the. possibility of "Gasless Sun days" and "Meatless Mondays" he isn't telling Asheville anything it hasn't heard before. The younger folks won't remem ber, and the older folks may "have forgotten but we've been through all that. Yep. And a lot more, too. Remember "Wheatless Days" and "Meatless Days?" Remember the slogan: "Food Will Win the War!" ' Remember the enthusiastic slo gan of '17; "Full Garbage Pails Over '"Here Mean Empty Dinner Pails Over There?" Remember Herbert C. Hoover who clamped down on your butter and sugar and meat and bread r Hoover took over the job of Food Administrator- he had pick ed the title himself after rejecting "Dictator and director." Ho-hum. Twenty-four years. Seems like yesterday. Well, maybe the day before yesterday. ; Ho-hum. But it really may turn out to be more serious than that, for war brings terrible restrictions. Let's turn back the pages of tjme and look at conditions in this com munity as well as all over the country twenty-four years ago. On Sundays no one was allowed to use gasoline except physicians, undertakers, ministers and ceme tery operators. This restriction was imposed the first period dur ing the two years of the war for five months, and the second time for three months. Asheville on the Sabbath looked like a "ghost town,".'. As for meat, people generally adopted Friday as the sacrificial day, ' co-operating with persons whose religion ordinarily called for abstenance of meat on that day. An instance is recalled concern ing one of those porkless, days, A soldier went into a 'restaurant late one night and ordered some ham and eggs. Whereupon the proprietor told him "this is pork less day." To which the soldier replied, "No, it isn't. It was four minutes ago, but is now three past twelve." It was another day; he got his ham and eggs. There were two approaches to the conservation of wheat. First of all all flour milled had to have a certain per cent of coni or rye or some other adulteration. Gen erally it was 60 per cent wheat and 40 per cent something else. Then there were "wheatless days? when one could not eat wheat bread at all. Sugar was Top Gymnast 0" i..l No4itinMbi. of the Phila delphia Turners, is shown after winning the all-around competition in the National AA.U. women's gymnastic championships held tat New York City. ! restricted, too. A person could have only 2 pounds per week. - The restrictions had teeth in them. Make no mistake about that. For example, if a person bought 2 pounds of sugar at one place, and then went and pur chased two pounds elsewhere, and it would be found it, it was just too bad. To sugar bowls were allowed on cafe tables at anytime. A little bitty sack was allotted each customer. That was when there were no cubes. But as a whole the people co operated, which demonstrated the strongness of the patriotic fibre. The restrictions were under the Timni. I v Ar Leave' Monday for Chica5 Lenoir York, son ' Mrs. D. D.
