Famed Armv Unit Gets Bale Os Gotten To Symbolize Past i This season’s first bale of Louisiana' cotton is on its way to Korea to serve the U. S. Army’s Seventh Infantrv “Cottonbaler” Regiment as a symbol of its colorful tradition. The New Orleans Cotton Exchange! has sent the bale of cotton to thei famed military unit to symbolize the group’s fighting origin in the Battle of New Orleans during the War of 1812. Presentation of the bale to the Sev enty Infantry Regiment resulted from a plea by the commanding officer of i the historic unit. Colonel Charles E. Johnson wrote New Orleans Mayor de! Lesseps S. Morrison about the plight of the “Cottonbaler” regiment without' a cotton bale. The colonel pointed out that the reg iment—one of the oldest and most dec orated units in the U. S. Army—got its start to fame as the only regular outfit to fight with Andrew Jackson at the Battle of New Orleans. Be cause that brilliant victory was won largely through the use of cotton bales as breastworks, members of the regi ment have been known as “Cotton balers” since that time. Part of the regimental insignia is a bale of cotton surmounted by crossed rifles. Mrs. Roxie K. White Dies At Hobbsville, Mrs. Roxie K.
