THERE'S MORE SUGAR
COMING
Housewives who have found their
sugar stamps temporarily worth
less because their grocer's sugar
shelf was bare may take hope, now
that the War Food Administration
promises stepped-up production
from the nation's sugar-beet fac
tories in the West and Midwest.
On September 1 the nation's sugar
inventory was lower than on any
date since 1935. During the first
eight months of this year, 458,000
tons more of sugar were distri
buted in the U- S. than in the same
period of 1943. Most of the in
crease went to civilian usage for
preserving and canning. In one
form or another, civilians got most
of the increase in preserving and
canning of fruits and vegetables,
in larger-than-normal production of
condensed milk and in supplemen
tal allotments for other purposes.
RECLASSIFY MEN 38 AND
OVER
Men over 38 who have been anx
iously watching the mail-box to
learn of their final disposition under
National Selective Service can now
relax and continue their civilian
work with the assurance that they
are in an age group not acceptable
for induction into military service.
Local boards have been instructed
to place registrants of 38 and over
in IV-A, to retain in I-C all men
honorably discharged and to dis
continue the I-A(L) classification.
Men in Class I-C may not be re
moved from this classification with
out action by the Director of Selec
tive Service. Local boards will put
in other deferred classifications
men found physically acceptable for
limited military service only, who
have heretofore been placed in
Class I-A(L).

Members of Old
Company "H" Win
Praise In Combat
An English newspaper recently
carried a story of the part the 120th
Infantry played in the Mortain
Battle. The clipping was sent to
Clinton Truitt by his brother, Cpl.
Paul Ray Truitt, who is serving
with the local company which left
here as the National Guard Unit.
The majority of men who made up
this company were in the combat
described in the story, excerpts of
which follow.
"A year ago the 30th Division
was going about the rather boring
business of maneuvers in Tenn
essee wondering if it would ever
get the chance to wear combat rib
bons. The 'sharps," said the divis
ion would never go overseas, that
it was a training unit preparing
men who would serve as replace
ments for other organizations. The
'sharps' were wrong.
"Recently the 30th Division re
ceived a special commendation
given by Maj. Gen. Lawton J. Col
lins, 7th Corps Commander. The
award was given for the magnifi
cient job the 30th had done in
holding oft the last major attack of
the German Seventh Army in the
vicinity of Mortain.
"Gen. Collins paid special tribute
to the 'tenacity of the Second Bat
talion of the 120th Infantry which
when isolated on a hill east of
Mortain held out for five consecu
tive days against determined ef
forts of the Germans to annihilate
it.'
"For five days the 'Old Hickory'
division slugged it out with the
best of the Wechrmacht five infantry-armored
divisions including the
SS Adolf Hitler Panzers. The Ger
mans were shooting for Avranches
and the sea, attempting to split the
American armies in Normandy and
Brittany. They didn't quite make
it.
The Germans attacked shortly
after the 30th took up its position.
Taking advantage of good road net
works, the enemy struck furiously
in paveral sectors. The fury of
the attack stunned the Yanks.
"A battalion was overrun in the
St. Barthelmy sector; the second
battalion of the 120th was isolated,
'lost' on a hill overlooking Mortain.
An artillery battalion used direct
fire, so close to German tanks, that

Round pot holders can be cut
by using a saucer for a pattern.
They are especially handy when
taking food from the oven, as there
are no corners to drop into the
food and get sticky.
To sew on Hooks and Eyes:
Hooks, eyes, and snaps are most
satisfactory when sewed on with
the buttonhole stitch.
Dark colored suede accessories
may be cleaned by rubbing them
with an art gum eraser, or with
a rubber sponge, or with a suede
shoebrush, if it is equipped with
a rubber instead of wire brush.
Table-top Protectors: Pieces of
felt cut from old hats and glued
to the bottoms of vases, lamps, and
ash-trays form splendid table-top
protectors.
A small paintbrush is an excel
lent gadget with which to clean
crumbs from an electric toaster or
waffle iron.
Uncovered bedsprings should be
inspected occasionally to make sure
they have no rough places that will
tear sheets. If they have, apply
adhesive tape to the rough spot.
When movable tables and chairs
are to be placed on a polished floor,
cut pieces the size of a quarter
or a half-dollar from an old felt
hat and glue them to the bottom of
the chair and table legs. This will
prevent scratching of floors.

"Best Friend of Charleaton" chugged
proudly over the longest stretch of railroad in
the world ... the 136 miles between Charleston
and Hamburg, South Carolina, now a part of the
Southern Railway System.
Now, the South . . . and all America . . . reaps a
rich reward from this historic achievement.
You can see h in the sleek giants that pull war
busy passenger trains out of bustling Southern
Railway stations.
You can hear it in the rumble of powerful
freight locomotives that speed Southern trains
with the vital weapons of war.
Yea ... the transportation services started by
1830's "Best Friend" are today the best friend of
the farmer ... the business man ... the worker . . .
the fighting man... the best friend of all who
work and pray for Victory.
And when that bright day comes, there will be
other important jobs for modern "Best Friends"
to do. For a Southland abounding in energy and
initiative. ..unbelievably rich in natural wealth...
steadily expanding in agriculture, industry and
commerce... will be needing the efficient, depend
able transportation aervice of the 8,000-mile
