PAGE FOUR THE JOHNSTONIAN . SUN, SELMA, N. C. THURSDAY, MAY 31, 1945. THE JOHNSTONIAN-SUN M. L. STANCIL. Editor Published every Thursday SUBSCRIPTION PRICE CASH IN ADVANCE Anywhere in North Carolina: One Year S1.50 Hz Months ............. 75c ITiree Months 60c Outside of North Carolina: One Year . $2.00 Kz Months 100 Thro Months 60c To the People of this Community The 7th War Loan objective is four billion dollars in Series E Bonds. At this time last yeaf Americans had oversubscribed two war loan quotas, each three billion dollars in Se ries E War Bonds. It is obvious your personal share must be greatest of any of the war loans. And yet it wan may be no higher than or even less than the combined amount you invested in bonds in the 4th and 5th War Loans. Why should you continue to put every dollar above the cost of the necessities of living into ex tra bonds? 1. Uppermost you owe an obligation to your fighting men and women to back them to the limit as long as any enemy mili tary strength remains. 2. Think about Iwo Jima for a moment sacrifice on the battlefields is still a way of life for your rela tives and friends in uniform. 3. The self-interest motive is at a new high. Civilian goods are now scarcer than ever before. Every dollar you spend for non essentials works for higher prices. THE EDITOR DEATH BED STATEMENT The daughter of Woodrow Wilson has told a reporter about a statement by her father on his death bed, in which the great President said that "it was right that the United States did not join the League of Nations . . it would have been a great person al victory . .-"..But it would not have worked, because deep in their hearts the American peo ple did not really believe in it." The statement by Mrs. Elean or Wilson McAdoo is important because it brings to the surface the present-day challenge: Do the American people believe in the plan before the United Na tions, debated and considered at San Francisco? The answer is Very definite and clear. The American people were not ready to be shackled by rules imposed upon them by Britain France and Italy in the days of Woodrow Wilson. The situation is entirely dif ferent today because major dif ferences are being - ironed out and Germany as well as Japan will not be allowed to resume preparations for another war. IS OPA POPULAR? It is very unreasonable to say that the Office of Price Admin istration should be exempted from criticism. That is impossi ble. Price Administrator Bowles failed to express public opinion In his statement that "when we look at the whole record. I think that the price control and sta bilization program has been one of the most remarkable achieve ments of this war." The general public disagrees, and has very little praise for t" Bowles or ganization. The OPA is one of the most unpopular spokes in the entire alphabetical wheel. AN OFFICIAL TIP Your Uncle Sam, voicing his judgment throueh the Depart' ment of Agriculture, makes the unqualified statement that "the rule that water should be boiled before vegetables go in to cook" has been supported from recent research at the Alabama and Michigan experiment stations. The way they figure it out is that the boiline saves about three-fourths of the vitamin C. which is twice as much as the cold water treatment. This probably works on the same basis as boiling meat. To get the greatest amount of grease from meat it should be placed in cold water which is ffraduallv raised to the boiling i ri Mm. u wet, point. To hold the grease in the meat the water should be raised to the boiling point before plac ing the meat in the pot. A pretty negress who had been hoarding her earnings, approached fcer mistress before getting married, rii th recmest that she keep her for her. "But won't you be needing it, Man- dy?" asked the mistress. Maybe, ma'am but you don't think I'm gonna keep all dat money in de house with a strange niggah prowlin' about!" Pine Level Man Is Helping Round Up Nazis With the Fifteenth United States Army in Germany With the fight ing over thousands of American sol diers in Germany are busy turning: the proverbial tables on Hitler hatchet men who were, a short time ago, the chief jailers of Europe. Typical of these American units which, having whipped Hitler, are now busy rounding up his henchmen, is "E" Company of the 376th Infan try Regiment. The Company is now a part of Lieut. General Leonard T. Gerow's Fifteenth United States Ar my on occupational duty West of the Rhine. Their particular responsibility is a jail filled with Nazi political die-hards. Company "E" came across Utah Beach in Normandv about three months after "D" Day. With other units of the 94th Infantry Division they gave their first battle attention to the cutting off of the Nazi garri sons in the St. Nazaire and Lorient pockets of France. When this job was finished the Division moved eastward towards Germany. One after another the foot sloggers of "E" Company crossed the Saar, the Mozelle and the Nahi rivers. On March 24 whn they were finally re lieved from the lines the men of the company had completed a battle itinerarv of 253 days of front line duty. 77 of them on successive doys. Members of the company had accum ulated for themselves one Disting uished Service Cross. 10 Silver Stars and 14 Bronze Stars. When the "cease fire" order came "E" Company drew as its new as signment a detail as a guard com pany. They were given one of the Polizei Praesidiums which, in the hey-day of Hitler's power had serv ed as a Gestapo Headquarters. Inside thev found their new charges, 1,200 ex-Gestapo agents, SS Troopers and Nazi nolitical leaders who are await ing final decisions on their possible indictment as War Criminals. Among the men of "E" Company is Pfc. Fletcher Braswell of Pine Level, N. C. Bond Rally Held At Smithfield Tuesday A delegation, representing all sec tions of Johnston County, met in the Legion Hut at Smithfield Tuesday night, where they were told by R. P. Holding, chairman of the Johnston County War Finance Committee, that Johnston County's quota in "E" bonds is $500,000, and to date only $106,000 of these bonds had been sold. Mr. Holding stressed the import ance of setting up a working com mittee in each locality to push the sale of "E" bonds. He said the pur pose of the meeting was to get a little more enthusiasm behind the bond drive throughout the county. stating that Johnston County had not failed to meet its quota in past drives, except in June 1944, and that this failure wag more than made up for in the December drive. Those present were greatly im pressed by a talk by Sgt. Ed Wood all, Jr., who is at home on furlough after having served in the European theatre of war. Sgt. Woodall told of being held for several months as a prisoner by the Germans. He said food grew-scarcer each month of his imnrisonment. and that when the prisoners , heard the distant rumble of allied gunfire they were told by the Germans that this was only German target practice, but he declared the prisoners were too optimistic to be lieve it. and as the rumblings grew louder each day the prisoners grew more jubilant i the belief that they would soon be liberated. . , When the allied Army began roll ing past the prison camo it was one of the haDDiest davs of his life, he said, declaring that it ws the great est armada of men and fighting arm aments he had even seen. "Thev hist kept coming," he said, "as though there was no end to this great allied narade of men and war material. The next speaker was Major Luhy F. Royal, who only a few davs ago returned from the South Pacific, af ter being away about two and a half years. Major Royal declared that our boys overseas are counting on us to continue buying war bonds so-Uncle Sam can keep the planes, tanks and guns coming to them in ever increas ing numbers. He believes we can shorten the war with Japan only by increasing the allied might against the enemy. A large delegation of women were present, representing the several civic and patriotic clubs of the county. H. L. Stephenson, war finance chairman of Smithfield township, was present and asked the Smithfield del egation to remain after the meeting for a brief conference on War Bond activities. Both instrumental and vocal patri otic music added pep to the spirit of the occasion.

To Edward s father or mother: The 37th Div. had just entered the city the night before. (This was Feb 5, 1945.) People were excited. So many GPs, so many jeeps, so many trucks, so much movement. These were what we have been waiting for the past 3 1-2 years the coming of GI Joe. Our principal street is Royal Ave nue. All its sidewalks were cluttered with standing, sitting, squatting, ly ing GI's. In every corner were GPs and Filipinos conversing animately. In a comer. I notice an anti-tank gun I sit beside a light-green eyed, wavy blonde GI whose hands is much calloused. We open a conversation, like him immediately. He tells me of Selma of how he loves carpentry, of his younger sister at school, of his folks, the yearning for home was all over him. He was so nice and well behaved. We converse throughout the afternoon. Downtown lurked the Japs. They were hidden in their holes and pill boxes. The fighting and the flames were yet to come upon the city. At the moment, we were all happy liberators and liberated. 1 don't know Eddie's unit now, what I know is that his division is now fighting somewhere in the rug ged mountains north. The 37th made a brilliant campaign in the city. It was a nice moment I had with Eddie. I am sure he enpoyed himself too. What I want you folks to know is that he has friends here too and plenty too. We might meet briefly but during the short interval we try to make GI Joe feel as if it was home. Very Sincerely, Federrio V. Ozcarate. Roosevelt's Appeal for 7th War Loan WASHINGTON, D. C Before his death President Franklin D. Roose velt issued a statement in support oi ine raigmy sev- enth War Loan for 14 billions of dol lars in which he reminds the Na tion it is still locked in a dead ly struggle with its enemies. The President stressed the im portance of V greater produc tion together witn tne buyin ana noiaing war eonai to help achieve the victory. He said: MR.ROOSEVEXT "l don't need to tetl you that tt are 'till locked in a deadly struggle with our enemiet ft enemie of our turf of life and the tear U Mill the thief fob of each one of u.
