DICK’S. Service Station -WE’LL HELP YOU KEEP ’EM RUNNING" IQth Stre^ • North Wilkesboro, N. C. CPIi. TED WATJ, A Ninth Air Defense Command Unit, Prance—Cpl. Ted Hall, son of Mrs. Zina Hall, of Vannoy, to day received one of the greatest rewards a soldier can earn when Lt. Gen. George S. Patton, com manding general of the Third U. S. army, commended him and the men of his battery in a commen dation which read in part: “These attacks were met by gun crews with typical American fortitude; each man dlsplaylim conspicuous bravery. Defendin' the field with rapidly developei and extremely effective fire, these units destroyed fourteen enemy aircraft and badly damaged four others. The heroic performance of these units is in keeping with the highest traditions of the serv ice.’’ General Patton’s commendation had reference to an attack on January 1, 1945, by 25 German fighters which attempted to strafe a Ninth air force fighter strip somewhere France. The field was protected in part by gun crews of the IX defense command. In the ensuing battle, 14 of the attacking fighters were destroyed and four others were badly dam aged. It is action such as this that has made the IX air defense com- mond the greatest air defense or ganization of its kind in the world. V Lawmakers Stunned By Nazi Bestiality Washington, April 28—Repre sentative Kunkel, Republican, of Pennsylvania, returned to Wash ington today from an Inspection of the German concentration camps of Buchenwald, appalled at the evidence of Nazi atrocities. “Anything you hear about con ditions of Buchenwald will be un derstatement,’’ he told reporters. "The full truth would get into the realm of obscenity and filth—so low you couldn’t print it." Kunke!'. Is the first of seveiral congressman who have toured the brutal German prisons to get back to Washington. He was not a member of an official congres sional committee which went to Europe last week at the request of General Eisenhower. In Europe on other business, Kunkel went to Buchenwald at the army’s Invitation five days after It was liberated by Ameri can troops. "The army has done a wonder ful job of cleaning It up,” he said, “but the smell of death Is still over the place. More than 100 of the liberated prisoners died the night and morning of his visit. ‘”Two of them had committed snlclde even though freedom had come,’’ he said. "It shows the mental derangement that came to prisoners In the place.” V Abshers H. D. Club Holds April Meet Miss Helen Price travelled thru the rain and mud from Wilkesboro to Abshers April 23 to meet with the Abshers Home Demonstration Club, held with Mrs. J. W. Bidden. Miss Price gave a most Inter esting demonstration on "Color In the Home”, showing several pic tures on how to arange pictures and curtains to look nicely: wall paper, suitable for different rooms and how to select our rngs and draperies. We wish every woman of our commiunity could have at tended these demonstrations. Delicious refreshments were served by Miss Fannie Bidden. Our next meeting is also to be held with Mrs. J. W. Bidden on May 28, according to a request by Mrs. Sidden’s daughter, * Luclle, who has been sick for so long. We sincerely hoi>e Lnclle’s health may be restored soon so that she can meet out with us In our club meetings. The demonstration in May will be on “CUnlc on Homo-Stored Foods”, and "Are Your Homo- Stored Foods Safe?”—^Reported. V- Lumber is a critical war mate rial.
