Another thing which surprised
them was the longevity of life of
the people of that section. In
discussing the 100 years that Mr.
Luther had lived, some one spoke
up and said that a Mr. Greer had
lived in that neighborhood to be
120 years, and another one re
marked that their grandfather
lived to be 99, while another said
one of their uncles lived to be 96.
There was also a lady by the name
of Gentry who lived to be 107

The Ammunition is being passed
There’s no monkey-business about the way
the ammunition is being passed in this
war, either. For example, the ^avy’s 5-
inch 38 caliber gun throws shells at planes
or surface craft at a terrific rate. Its pow
der and shells must come to the gun in a
gtesuly stream. How is it done? With an
ingenious hoist whose tolerances are so
fliMo that the meehanism is comparable
to the movement of a fine watdi.
