• _ V>, ' THOTDAY, APRIL 19, 1495 Uyfe Shows Fast trading Leyte.—Just off the airstrip here, where trucks meet the transports some of the world's fastest trading Is transacted daily, according to Sgt. O. W. Nelson, Jr., a Marine Corps combat correspondent. The priority of war equipment has cut to a minimum the luxuries - brought in for personnel stationed here. Cigarettes arc rationed apd cigars are worth their weight 'in Filipino money. There is a surplus of cash—and nothing to buy. As meat of the transient air crews; and passengers are eager to obtain souvenirs, a brisk business starts as the cargo doors open and continues throughout the unloading. A carton | cf cigarettes can be exchanged for a Jap sun helmet, a flashlight for a Jap mess gear, or a pair of sun glasses for a complete set of Filipino notes. Sheath knives are scarce and can be traded for Filipino hand made jungle knives. The strip is crowded and speed is important in unloading, to, clear the deck for the umbrella of planes overhead waiting to come in. This necessitates speedy barter and un loading crews make and accept bids between grunts as they strain at I heavy cargo or hurry back and | forth with less bulky packages. The cargo doors drop and the roar of the motor drowns out at last frantic bid: "Make it five cigars J and you can have it!"

This chapter found i that beavers had built a dam across > a section of the soldier’s farm, block . ing drainage of melting snow. The ; I land was rapidly becoming a lake. The soldier didn't want his farm ' I ruined, but he knew his game laws ‘ —it was illegal to kill beavers. The ' logical answer was to blow up the | dam, he decided. The Red Cross collected informa tion from the State College of Agri | culture all about getting rid of _: beavers legally and how to reclaim [flooded land. With this to go on, [ the soldier directed the reclamation of his farm from his hospital bed [and now has his land ready for use as soon ns lie returns from military I |service. -O : - Federal Court Raps Feed Firm Raleigh, April—Saunders Mill, ' j Inc., Toledo, Ohio, firm whose rep ’ < resentative was arrested here last I [fall in connection with the com . pany's alleged mislabeling of alfalfa ) iineal sold in Goldsboro, has been , [ permanently restrained by the Fed eral Government from shipping in j interstate commerce any alfalfa , meal having protein and fiber eon [ tent in non-conformity with that ’ set forth on the labels, the State , Department of Agriculture has been notified. : L.

WORD comes from Washington that the fat-salvage |J problem has got to be licked in the small cities, the towns and on the farms. ■ 1 We women have to save enough used fats in our kitchens to help make munitions, medicines, fabrics, soap for military ■ and civilian use, and many other essentials. J The job, to date, has been' done largely by city people, because arrangements for collecting the fats were made in ] the cities first. Now we’re called on. And will we meet * our goal? Just watch our speed! ■ HOW TO DO ITs Scrape broiler and roasting pans, skim J soups and gravies. Melt down meat trimmings and table : ■ scraps. Add the liquid fat to your salvage can. Take tht can j' to your butcher when full. He will give you two red points and up to four cents for every pound. If you have any ■ difficulty, call your County Agent.

Chapel Hill, April 15.—When Stu dent Aviation Pilot Sidney E. Bailey completes his training at the Navy 1 Pre-Flight School here and takes to the air he should feel singularly i at home. At 23, the High Point., ( youth already has the Distinguished ( Flying Cross and a working knowl- ; edge of action In Pacific skies. : A Navy man since he was 18, Bailey * went through here with the 54th ( battalion in September, 1944, but he was not called into primary train ing. Now back for a refresher course, he hopes to be able this time to . pin wings of gold above that DFC. Before there were enough radio man-gunners to fill the needs, avia tion machinist mates such as Bailey ; did their share of flying in the 1 Pacific war. It was in such a role that he won his medal in May, 1942. ( Bailey, at that time, was attached . to the old LEXINGTON which was j sunk. But before the gallant old lady went under, her crew made the 1 Japs pay and Bailey, whose plane 1 put one of five torpedoes into an J enemy carrier and assisted in driv ing off 14 fighters attacking a LEX INGTON squadron, played his part j in the battle. Approximately 15 minutes after his plane returned to the LEX7NG- * TON —with so little gasoline that a wave-off would have meant plung- j ing into the drink—the American * carrier was hit. Later came the or der to abandon ship. The young veteran not only serv- J ed in the Pacific but after his re- c turn to the States and a survivor’s ] leave, he went aboard tne USS ( CARD, tlie CVE which later won 1 distinction in the Atlantic. Aboard the CARD he did not fly but acted * as plane captain. 1 Bailey joined the Navy in 1939 as c an apprentice seaman and from ' March, 1940, until her sinking he 1 was attached to the LEXINGTON. In January, 1942. flying with an en- 1 listed pilot as seaman bombardier, his plane attacked a Japanese sub- f marine, bracketing her amidships 1 with two depth charges. It was con- c sidered a "probable” kill. Now an aviation machinist mate. 1 first class, Bailey entered the V-5 f program in December, 1943, attend- * ing Flight Preparatory School at f Middletown, Conn., and the War ' Training School in Hickory, N. C., ® before reporting aboard here the first time in June. 1944. i —o i Sgt. Duncan !• j ■ S. Sgt. Romie L.

Thomas J. Zimmerer, sen of Mr. and Mrs. W. V. Zimmer er. 17809 Flamingo Avenue, Cleve land, Ohio, who is now a patient at the U. S. Army General Hospital, Camp Butner, N. C. Zimmerer, a medical aide man, stayed with a wounded buddy be hind German lines for fourteen days during the battle of the Belgian bulge, and kept the man alive until they were rescued by members of the famous Fifth Infantry Division. He arrived in the United States by plane on March 25th having been flown from England. Suffer ing from a severe case of trench foot due to his ordeal in enemy ter ritory, Zimmerer underwent surgery at an English base hospital. It was necessary to amputate both of his feet. A quiet, soft-spoken lad with dark hair and expressive eyes he tells how, when the Germans broke through and our troops were re treating, he stayed behind and hid himself and his companion in a deep draw sheltered by huge over hanging rocks. "We lived for fourteen days on practically nothing but water. Jerry patrols would pass near our hide out about every hour on the hour. I would wait till they had gone, then go to a small stream nearby for water.. "My patient's name was Bob. It’s funny but I never learned his last name. He had been hit with ma chine gun bullets in the right leg. One bullet had pierced his thigh and lodged in his right side.’’ He paused for a moment to light a cigarette and said, “Here's an American lighter I got from a Jerry prisoner. Made in Kalamazoo, Mich igan. He had taken it from one of our boys.” Zimmerer’s unit, the Medical De tachment of the 60th Armored In fantry Battalion, 9th Armored Div ision, was stationed near Beaufort, and described how he had been up in our front lines on December 14th and how good our positions were. "But,’’ he said, “two days later Jerry Why do I always | CUYTOH | j) [| STORrS!

Beaufort was completely destroyed. The shelling and bombing was so severe that it was safer to be in the front lines than in the town.” He added quickly, "Don’t get the idea that it was safe anywhere, though.” The young medical aide man was in the retreat from a forest in Lux embourg a short time later. He and i another aide man were carrying the (wounded infantryman on an im provised stretcher. When the stretcher broke and it was necessary for the others to continue, Zimmer er sought out his secluded shelter, made his patient comfortable and of this Clean, Family Newspaper y\JvHE CHRISTIAN SCIENCE MONITOR s Free from crime and sensational news . . .

The Cleveland ooy is extremely modest about his part in saving the man's life. He says, “? just kept him as warm and as comfortable as I could. I didn’t save him. It was his will, his intense desire to get back to his wife and youngster that kept him alive. Several times he asked me to leave, to save myself, but I couldn’t do it.
