Minister of Agriculture and' Commerce Toshio Shimada report rice, wheat and sweet potatoes" had already been distributed and stored in ‘‘great quanti ties.” He declared: ‘‘There is noth ing to worry about for the pres ent even if, by chance, the home land is split up.” Tokyo radio also said the U. S. Fifth Fleet, including Vice Adm. Marc A. Mitscher’s powerful car rier task force which hit the Japa nese Navy Monday, was “fleeing .with full speed” southward toward the Ryukyo Islands, pursued by JaDanese planes.

New York’s dynamic mayor, Fiorello (“Little Flower”) LaGuardia, started something in his battle with War Mobilization Director James F. Byrnes over keeping New York City night clubs open until 1 a. m., an hour later than Byrnes’ proclamation allows. Other cities followed LaGuardia’s lead. Upset was State Rep. E. R.

Sears-Roebuck Foundation Plans To Give Chicks To 4-H Members A plan designed to promote an increase in the earning capacity of individual farmers and 4-H club members in the South, was an nounced at a meeting Wednesday night in the Governor Dudley res urant by Ranald Stewart, mana ger of the Wilmington store of Sears-Roebuck and Co. The meeting was attended by county farm agents and home demonstration agents of New Han over, Pender, Bladen and Onslow counties. Sponsored by the Sears-Roebuck Foundation, the plan is to furnish ten members of the 4-H clubs in these four counties with 100 baby chicks ®ach, amounting to 4,000 chicks, and next fall a poultry show will be given at Wilmington, in which the 12 best pullets of each contestant will be entered. Directing the experiment will be Clifton F. Parish, poultry special ist at N. C. State College. At the show next fall, the pul lets will be auctioned and the money will be used to start an other group of 4-H members in the project on the same basis. In event a surplus should result in the sale of pullets, this will be turned over to the 4-H Club treas urer in proportion to the sales I7r. ■ i ■== value of the pullets sold from their county. Ir the spring of 1946 there will be an egg show sponsored by the Sears - Roebuck Foundation, in which those 4-H club members whq took part in the poultry show will participate. Two dozen select eggs will be entered, and at the same time the new 4-H club members chosen for next year’s contest will be presented with 100 chicks with which to start their brood. It was pointed out that the eggs exhibited in the show will be sold, and the money will divert to the 4-H club treasuries. Mr. Stewart explained that the chicks to be presented to 4-H club members will be U. S. certified, or their equivalent in breeding value. He stressed that those receiving the chicks reserve the right to specify any particular breed de sired, and need not be given Sears Rosbuck chicks unless specified. Each contestant must agree to feed and care for the chicks and return to the county agent 12 choice pullets to be entered in the poultry show next fall. Those attending the dinner at the Governor Dudley restaurant Wednesday night besides Mr, Stewart and Mr. Parish, were; R. W. Galphin, farm agent of New Hapover; Miss Ann Mason. New Hanover home demonstra tion agent; R. R. Rich, Pender farm agent; Miss Frances O. Weston, Pender home demonstra tion agent; Charlie C.

SMOKER’S COUGH Ask your is quickly relieved *«*fWfor when you take this modern, safe, fast-act ing cough medicine. “Contains ingredients Phjsiclana Prescribe” First Glider-Ambulance Used East Of_ The Rhine BY DON' WHITHEAD EAST OF THE RHINE, March 22—UR—A low flying troop carrier plane towed a casualty-filled gli der from the First Army’s Rem agen bridgehead today, inaugura ting a spectacular new shuttle ser vice for evacuating wounded from areas near the cross-Rhine battle front. It was a dramatic moment on the little landing strip in a cab bage patch near the Rhine when the transport swooped low, caught a towrope and swept the glider off the ground. Glider evacuation of wounded men has been carried out in India and Burma, but this was the first time it had been tried in the Euro pean Theater of Operations. It was a success. Capt. Donald Haug, Wenatchee, Wash., of the Troop Carrier Com mand, said plans were to shuttle ten large gliders to the bridgehead daily, each making three trips to carry out 12 litter cases or 19 walking wounded per trip. This would be an average of about 450 evacuees daily. Five min utes after the wounded leave the bridgehead, they arrive at a hos pital airstrip west of the Rhine. The advantage of glider evacua tion lies in speed and in saving of ambulance space. The traffic proo lem along the packed roads lead* ing to and inside the bridgehead also is reduced. -V ‘REWARD' FOR MECHANIC OLNEY, 111., March 22.—CU.R)— A motor sales company in Olney has offered a $100 reward to any* one who sends them a good auto mobile mechanic who works for them at least 60 days.
