Bronze Star
Brother Of Local Postmaster
Receives Recognition
For Photography In Italy
Technician Fourth Class Pete
Y'askell, brother of Postmaster
L. T. Yaskell of Southport, is
still in Germany despite the fact
that he's been with the armed
forces since the invasion of Africa.
The reason for this is that Pete
is one of the topnotch photographers
of the war and his services
cannot be so easily duplicated
by another with less experience.
Before the war Pete was an
avid photographer and when the
war came along it was only
natural that he continue in this
work, using his talent for the
Army.
Landing with the forces in the
invasion of. Africa, Pete has
been with them through many;
campaigns, in Africa, Sicily, and
in Italy. His aeikl photographic
missions have taken him over
Yugoslavia, Norway, Germany,]
and other countries. The success
of his missions have won for him)
recognition in various forms,
among them the Bronze Star. |
Perhaps Pete's most interesting
assignment from a non-tech-j
nical stand point was a recent
one. He was sent to cover pictorially
the Congressional investigation
party of which Congresswoman
Clare Booth Luce was a
member. When Mrs. Luce returned
to the States she wrote
Pete's relatives here that she
had enjoyed being with Fete and
she also sent some souvenirs
which Pete had asked her to
bring over. She described an

value of letting, hogs graze off

for the beans to maturfc.
Mr. Jones turned his pigs into
the beans when the plants were
about twelve inches high, about
ten pigs being allocated to each
acre of beans. The regular feed
ration for the animals was cut

turned in on the soy beans and
they have progressed much better

intention to rcmumc his law
practice just as soon as he is relieved
from active duty.
He went into active service on
August 15, 1941, as a lieutenant.
For nearly two years he served at
army air bases in North and
South Carolina and Mississippi.
VVKJIa cfotinnoH at- riantr, Davis.

Trial Judge Advocate. Arriving
in England 21 months ago, he
served successively at three different
air fields of the Troop
| Carrier Command of the Air
Forces.
On V-J Day Major Mintz war
on his way to the States. Original
plans were to come direct to the
United States for u few weeks
of reorganization and then go on
to the Pacific. The surrender of i
Japan changed these plans, except
for the returning home.
Major Mintz served as register
of deeds for Brunswick county
for 814 years, resigning in 1939
to take up the practice of law.
He is the eldest son of the lato
H. L. Mintz and Mrs. Mintz, of j

The District Director called L
especial attention to the fact that "
OPA is skipping Sugar Stamp 1
No 37 and that on Saturday,
, Stamp No, 38 becomes valid for
five pounds of sugar through
December 31.
"Last year, people were requir- ,
ed to attach Sparc Stamp No. 37
to their applications for canning
sugar and many attached Sugar
Stamp No. 37 by mistake," he
explained.
Johnson said that for this reason.
it was deemed wise just to
skip Sugar Stamp No 37 since
ro many folks had already used
it in error. . I 1
He added that Sugar Stamp 'fit.
