PAGE TWO Pfc. Kenneth Reinhardt In General Hospital Augusta, Ga.—Pfc. Kenneth Rein, hardt, of Rt. 1, Lincolnton, has ar rived at the Oliver General Hospital j here from overseas for further medi cal treatment. Oliver General Hospital is one of the army’s great medical institutions and has a bed capacity of 2,240. It represents tthe final step in the chain of evacuation from the front lines. With the war against Japan up permost in the minds of its person nel, Oliver General is making every effort to be ready for the casualties which must inevitably result from the prosecution of the war in the Pacific. Thousands of wounded and sick men from the European theatre also con tinue to be evacuated and receive treatment here. Friends of the new arrivals are asked not to telephone because of con gested wire facilities. Mail is wel comed by every patient and is han dled rapidly. Also arrived from overseas was Pfc. James M. Litten, Flint street. 2,657 ALREADY INDICTED AS WAR CRIMINALS London, May 31.—A secret three day session of the War Crimes Com mission has started in London, Repre sentatives from 16 of the United Na tions are meeting behind closed doors. The results of this session are ex pected to prepare the way for the speedy trial of Nazi war criminals. The Australian chairman of the War Crimes Commission, Lord Wright, opened the conference with an address. He revealed that two thousand six hundred and fifty-seven individuals have been charged with war crimes by various Allied nations arid the commission itself. Os this number, 2,624 are Germans, 110 are Italians, and the rest are Hungarian, Bulga rian, Albanian and Romanian. Lord Wight did not disclose the names of those charged with war crimes. But he declared that the time has now come when the mere collec tion of evidence and material must change over into action —meaning the trial of criminals, their conviction, sentencing and punishment. Frace has preferred more charges than any other nation —accusing more than 1,000 Germans and Ital- J ians. Poland has accused 544 Ger-1 mans, and Britain has filed charges against mor e than 100 Germans, Ital- i ians and Romanians. BIG FOUR STRIP I • TT (Continued from page one) Med orders.

IN NORTH CAROLINA More people drink Adantic Ale and Beer than any other. 301 Gastonia Widows Receive S. S. Benefits “Yon can start at the Gastonia of fice of the Social Security Board on Main street, walk two miles in any direction, and find at least one home where a widow with young children is receiving regular monthly pay ments of old-age and survivors insur ance. As a matter of fact, there are 301 young or middle-aged widows and 685 children living in the Gas tonia service area who receive such benefits every month. Each one of these survivors is entittled to pay ment because the husband and father had worked for some time before he died in a job covered by insurance provisions of the Social Security Act.” This statement was made today by Mrs. Janet Hall Green, manager of the Gastonia office of the Social Security Board. She said also that it might mean money in the pocket books of many families if the public realized that some young people are entitled to benefits under the federal insurance system. Insured wage earn- 1 ers who reach the age of 65 and re-j tire, and certain of their dependents are, of course, eligible for old-age and survivors insurance payments, but the idea that a person must be 65 years old befor e he or she can get benefits is wrong. This confusion is probably due to the fact that the original Social Security Act applied only to men and women 65 years old or more. But in 1939 tthe law was changed so that certain dependents of insured wage earners might also receive payments of social insurance. “The pity of it is,” she added, “that many persons who really need the benefits for which they are eligi ble are not getting them because they have not applied for payments. The law requirs that a claim must be filed before benefits can be paid.” Mrs. Green explained that surviv ors of insured wage earners entitled to monthly benefits include children under 16 (18 if still in school and un married), widows of any age who have minor children in their care,, and widows who have reached the age of 65. If there is no surviving widow or child under 18, parents who are 65 or over and who were de pendent upon the insured wage earn er at the time of his death, are eli gible for monthly benefits. Residents of Cleveland, Gaston and Lincoln counties who have reason to believe they are entitled to benefits under old—age and survivors insur anc provisions should w r rite or call at the office of th e Social Security Board, located in room 204, National Bank of Commerce building. Gastonia, N. C. Watch Corn Plants For Hunger Signs Watch corn plants carefully this summer, and when the leaves start turning yellow and brown along the midrib with the edges remaining green, it’s time to take action, says Dr. E. R. Collins, in charge of Agron omy Extension work at State College. He advises applying 100 to 200 pounds per acre or some nitrogen side dressing material to a few rows when this condition is noted. Then when the leaves start turn ing yellow and brown along the tip and edges, with the midrib remaining green, apply 75 to 100 pounds of mu riate of potash per acre to a few rews. Do not however expect condi tions to change until a rain dis solves the sidedressing material down into the root zone. If the corn stalk and leaves are purple, this indicates a phosphate deficiency and more phosphate should be used in the fertilizer next year. Late overdressings of phosphate have not been found as effective as appli cations made in the fertilizer at planting time. By observing and correcting these hunger signs, corn yields will be in creased, but adding the needed plant food can be made ineffective by cut ting off the roots with deep cultiva tion. This robs the plant of its only means of obtaining food and water. In cultivating corn, Dr. Collins rec ommends digging deep to find out where the roots are and then cultivat ing shallow enough to avoid injury to them. Members Approve Pledge To Flag Washington, June 4.—The House today passed a measure to make “of ficial” a pledge which school children throughout the nation know by heart. “I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.” Passage by the Senate would make this the official pledge of allegiance to the flag of this nation. Some years ago Congress took simi lar action to make the Star Spangled Banner the “official” national anthem. THE LINCOLN TIMES, LINCOLNTON. N. C., THURSDAY, JUNE 7 1945. j Here and : : j j There : : : : i Now that school is out and books laid away until the next school bell ■ rings parents should see that their | children have something constructive Ito do. Our grandma used to say, “The devil finds work for idle hands to do.” That old maxim still holds true. Let a child learn to build a dog house, bake an apple pie, or cut out a dress, and he’ll not want to hang out on street corners, waste his dad’s hard earned money, or drive the fam ily car into worn-out spark plugs and burned-out bearings. Every child—boy and girl—ran be taught to love digging in the soil. Why not give each one a little spot of earth somewhere in the back yard and let them plant vegetable and flower gardens? Planting seeds is a lesson in faith to them. They plant, then wait and watch, knowing that as sure as the sun comes up and showers of refreshing rain come down that these little seeds will burst through the soft brown soil and produce their respective fruits.

Last year a girl from Ma con county won first place in the Ju nior award group and a prize of SSOO. Besides this nation award, there are state and county awards, and happy the children who win them. Information about these awards may be learned from Mr. Graham Morrison and Miss Rabey. Let’s look into this at once, boys and girls, and get our seeds in the ground. You ve no idea how much joy there is in planting rows and rows of seeds and watching them grow into leaf, flower and fruit. There will be a few bugs and diseases to control, but that, too, becomes an interesting amt construc tive process. —S. 0. TRUbL Explosion Kills 15 As U. S. Army Office Is Wrecked In Bremen Bremen, Germany, June 4.—.Two mysterious explosions wrecked the U. S. Military Government’s police head quarters in Bremen today, killing at least fifteen Americans and Germans and injuring 80 others. An American public safety officer, May. E. Russell Kennedy, Jr., Wash ington, D. C., says he believed the disaster was caused “by a delayed action bomb’.’ Incomplete military reports up to 5 p. m., listed the following casual ties: , Three Americans and twelve Ger mans dead, their bodies recovered. Two Americans and an unestimated number of Germans missing and be lieved buriel under the debris. Four Americans and eighteen Ger mans seriously injured. Ten Americans and forty-six Ger mans slightly hurt. Most of the German casualties were police and police auxiliaries. The American dead were a ser geant interpreter, a private courier for the military government and a Marine captain who was recently at tached to counter-intelligence here I after long service in the Pacific.

Stars and Stripes, Casablanca today, telling of wide spread Arab disturbance in Algeria during th e week following V-E Day. The 9tars and Stripes dispatch, written by correspondent Jack Fioisie, said that American planes were used to carry Morroccan troops into the interior to put down the outbreaks. It said also that French airmen used planes obtained from the United States and Britain to bomb and strafe the fleeing populations of Arab towns. Foisie placed the number of Arabs killed or wounded by the stun French countermeasures at more than ten thousand. The French acknowledged last week that there had been disturbances in North Africa following the procla mation of V-E Day, but said they were o na much smaller scale than Foisie’s dispatch would indicate. The French war ministry’s announcement said total casualties were three hun dred Europeans and 905 Arabs, and said the disturbance was ended. Th e Stars and Stripes dispatch said that because of severe French censorship and the fact that Allied newsmen have not yet been able to reach the key area of disturbancs — the east Algerian Port of Constan tine—the true picture of events and causes is still obscure. Correspond er.et Foisie said that a severe short age of fool is regarded as one of the chief causes. But he said he under stands that what he teems “the po litical complications of French colon ial policy” also are involved. Make Your Money's Might..

Selective Service Calls For Woodsmen All men in North Carolina disquali fied for military service because of physical unfitness, and those over 30 years of age who are not already employed in essential civilian or war production work, are being urged by Selective Service to assist in stepping uj production of forest products and other vital war materials by taking jobs in these industries at once, I. 0. Schaub, director of the State Col lege Extension Service and chairman of Gov. Gregg Cherry’s emergency committee on Forests Products Pro duction has disclosed. This action, according to Chairman Schaub, is designed to help relieve serous manjJjw'er shortages in "must” war production, including cutting of pulpwood, saw logs, and mill work, by offering those who can not fight with guns anonther opportu nity to fight on the production fronts at home. All available men in the 4-F classification, and those in the over 20 group, wl|o are able to, should be contributing their services to the war effort and they are to have this opportunity. “Gov. Cherry’s emergency commit tee on Forest Products Production has been advised by Gen. J. Van B Metts, State Director of Selective Service, that local Selective Service Boards throughout North Carolina ar now reviewing 4-F cases to deter mine whether such classifications should be contiued. All such men who are found to be working in non-essen tial jobs will be encouruaged to en ter one of the many highly essential industries where they will contribute directly to war production and vic tory,” said Chairman Schaub.
