The project is being undertaken by the Atlanta chapter of the Barbed Wire club, composed of former prisoners of war. The Barbed. Wire club selected as its first project the job of playing Santa Claus to little German children. We remember they were our friends, declared Horace Wood, club president, in appealing for donations of toys and dolls. Wood, former infantry ' lieutenant who spent five months as a prisoner of war in Germany, recalled an instance when a German youth gave him a light for his cigarette. There were other times when little children along the street would give us cheese and bread. This food tasted good to a prisoner of war, , Wood insisted.

Production of medicinal preparations by the chemical industry, which is by far the largest producer, exceeded 44 million pounds last year, according to the report. While some of this was produced for export and some was retained for a reserve supply, the greater part was consumed by Americans, both military and civilian. Aspirin was the largest single Item, the report reveals. Eleven million pounds of this and similar mild pain killers were pro- -' duced, the greater part of this supply presumably passing over drugstore counters. Running a close second were the sulfa drugs, chemical factories producing nearly six million pounds. This represented a gain of 1,400,000 pounds in a year, the increase being attributed to war demands. Wholesale return from the sulfa drugs was placed at 20 million dol- on-thi- the public library!

This inscription on a gravestone in the local Ottawa cemetery invariably v shocks visitors. To John H. Aplin, 71, who lives in nearby Eagle, Wis., however, there is nothing particularly amiss about the inscription. When his wife died last January, Aplin, a carpenter, had a monument erected and told the tombstone cutter to put his name on it too. When asked about the date, he said, Put down 1950. It doesnt make any difference if its a few years one way or the other. There probably wont be anyone to take care of it when I die, so I might just as well do it my' self. The monument, as a result, bears this inscription: Alice Aplin, bom 1865, died January, 1946. John H. Aplin, born 1865, died 1950. Aplin has established a reputation as an individualist around Eagle. One of tjie favorite stories about him concerns the old schoolhouse. When a wrecker tore down the old building, he found a whisky bottle between the walls. In the bottle was a note saying, We drank the whisky, John Aplin and Stewart.
