READING & WRITING by dwln Seam and RoSin Mim km CEORCE H. JOHNSTON 1 OR an excellent firsthand account of the battle for New Guinea read "The Toughest Fighting in the World" by the Australian eorrespondent George H. Johnston. Mr. Johnston covered every step of cne iNew ouinea campaign from January, 1942, up until a year later when Austra lian and American soldiers had driven the Japanese out of their strongholds from which they had threatened Port Moresby and the continent of Australia. Adventure is no longer unusual, says Mr. Johnston, but sometimes an adventure is so fantastic that it is worth the telling. One such story concerns the crew of a bomber that had crashed in the New Guinea wilderness. After slashing their way through the jungle for three terrify ing days, the men came upon a clearing where rested the remains of an ancient biplane a 1919 model. A week's labor, and they made it work. They fueled it with some motor petrol they found nearby, and actually took it up. If the incident had been in the hands of Hollywood, the plane would certainly have reached Port Moresby. But Fate was less kind. At the first gust of wind, the rickety plane crashed and the men wert stranded for several days more until an Australian plane sighted them, Another book about this phase of the war is "The Fighting for New ' Guinea by the INS American correspon dent, Pit Robinson. The American Air Force, says Mr. Robinson, had a strict rule that none of the boys take credit for shooting down a Zero, without absolute proof. One night the author heard Gen eral Whitehead sternly asking a new Fortress tail gunner why he was so sure he had bagged a Zero. "Well," said the youngster diffidently, "maybe I didn't get him, General, but I saw the plane break in three pieces and all three pieces were ,Jtill burning when they sizzled into the sea." The General laughed. '; "In that case, young fellow, maybe we ought to stretch a point and icredit you with one." When Mrs. Etta Shiber, be added, proudly, "But I propagand " author of the book-of-the-month "Paris Underground,' was in Paris, after her first release from the Gestapo prison, t small boy came up to her and begged to be allowed to carry her packages. His name was Pierre, she discovered, and he had been a member of i well-to-do fam ily. But his father was a prisoner in Ger many, and the money the boy earned for : odd job- was the family'i only income. ' "Some of iy friends sell newspapers," he said. "There's more money in that." Then don't i . . in it. It's spreading German Scouter Training Schools To Be Conducted Here The training school for Scoutcrs in the Western District of the Cape Fear Council for Boy Scouts will be con ducted this fall under the leadership f the Field executive, Mac. Gaskins. The school will last for four nights, of three hour periods each, and two schools will be c.nducted in the dis trict, thus giving every scouter a school within his reach. Each scout er must take all four class periods in order to get credit for the course, and the sch. ol will be so arranged in the district that should one have to miss one of the classes in Course No. 1, he could attend that same instruc tion period in Course No. 2.

O COMMUNITY ROBERY Fire in the woods kills timber, in jures labor, stops industry, robs the community, increases the taxes, and, worst of all, handicaps the war effort. O BE Sl'RE IT'S Ol T When your match g es out, be sure it can't come back. Be car :ful with fire in the woods. Eighty per cent of our forest fires are caused by carelessness. BURNING WOODS IS WASTE The man who burns his woods to get rid of boll wee ils might just as well burn his barn to get rid or rats. O FIRE DANC E LURES INSECTS Fire is responsible for the greater part of all damage to both young growth and mature timber, according to the U. S. Forest Service. Fire dam ages and weakens trees, making them easy prey for insects and wood retting fungi. O BURNED WOODS STERILE Young trees, like young boys and girls, need plenty of food and water for proper growth. Burned over woods are dry and strile. O Waste A recent survey indicates that the average city housewife wastes more than three-fourths of a pound of food for each individual every day. The highest waste is in perishable fruits and vegetables. O The t'SS Constellation and the USS Constitution, built in 1794, are the oidest American warships still in ex istence today. torn where I sit . . . Joe Marsh.
