He disclaims having experienced any thrilling escapes outside of one forced landing when he and his crew spent eight days in the 99-Year Old Vet Holds Down Job At Supply Depot CLEARFIELD, Utah, March 24 (U.R) A man's never too old to fight, Joseph Manning, 89-year-old Civil War veteran, said today as he went about his newly acquired ac-quired Job at the U. .S naval supply sup-ply depot here. Besides, he was "tired of seein' young fellers hangin' around pool halls when they should be belpln' in the war." He was a drummer boy in the Civil War at 16 and he didn't see why the "young fellers" fel-lers" today couldn't "pitch In' like they did in '61. , Officials at the U. S. employ-ment employ-ment service at Salt Lake City tried to convince him that working work-ing in that city would be less strenuous for a man of his age, but he preferred the naval depot because he liked the "life, activity activ-ity and the .1001." "Hard work, regular exercise, good food and plenty of it, and plenty of whiskey is my recipe for a long life." he said. He proved that he was in good health by breezing through his physical examination and in good spirits by telling the pretty WAVE pharmacist he would like to take her out to dinner when he got his first pay check. Manning was born In Springfield, Spring-field, Mass., May 25, 1845, he said, and after serving in the Civil War he joined the regular army, participating in campaign against Geronirao. the notorious 1 Apache Indian chief. Manning had one more item to add to his recipe for a long life, but he didn't say how he was making out on that point these days. Pleasant Grove Man at Air Base .

Munition Output Up 20 Percent WASHINGTON, March 24 CUJ3 The war production board re ported today that American as- . sembly lines hit their itride last, month and turned out munitions most needed at a dally rate 20 per cent higher than in January. On top of that, all segments of the munitions program that were scheduled to increase in Feb- .1 ruaxy did so, WPB said, despite the fact that practically everything every-thing went wrong floods, man-oower man-oower shortages, sudden production produc-tion changes and some "bad" nuisance strikes. The February report, weighted heavily with ohrases telling the' nation that the military needed larger quantities of weapons in the months ahead, still managed to emerge as one of the brightest production reports of the winter.
