T. 465 At Sea Dear Betty and El win: Today I am, going to try to accomplish the one, or one of the great feats of a life time. It is to ' try and write a letter while this Ship is jumping and bucking around like one of them Oetey-Puss- s that you . find in a. carnival. One of those things thait pick you up, whirl you around, throw you down and kick you in the teeth all at one time You know what a time is? Do T, woo- - woo! then I think they jump on you., Anyway, its one of those times when you wind up leaning on the wave with the rail where the sun ought to be, the suns in the water and the ships spinning around somewhere above your head and you dont know where the heck the ships at. Finally you deride you feel better, so you start to walk along the deck the darned thing jumps out from under, your feet and ends up hitting you on the chin. You see a post ahead of you. so you sneak up on it and grab it. wrestle it down or up which it happens to be at. the moment. So you lean on it foaming at the mouth, gasping for air and muttering something that might be a prayer, but I dont think the good Lord ever heard those, words in. a prayer. Finally you see a buddy coming along, so you wave him (down . and get a lift. And so after a small interval of time, a few centuries to be exact, you get to your. bunk. You crawl in with clothes and all on; roll over with a moan and swear never, oh never again in my life will I touch another drop of food. So ends a perfect day in . the navy, so they say. Love to all, . ev-erw- ay . i,-- ; -- "REX. Richard Rex Jones, S lc. WOODRUFF SOLDIER ... PROMOTED TO CAPTAIN Wm. B.

DALE REX TYPIFIED TRUE-BLU- E MANHOOD FREE PICTURE SHOW TO BE HELD MARCH 8 The; obits on that great young man. Dale Rex, probably will not contain some of the things he said tb his friends l?st time he was home before going away to give his life for his country. Im glad I had a chance to do my shooting on ..the basketball court, he told the writer at the I believe sports deck one day. every athlete would rather win a varsity letter than all the medals the generals can pin on them. Thats how all our boys who went away to war, felt about the nasty business they, had to do. But Dale Rex was destined to. die in heroic action in the service of his country. When it became our war, it became his war, for he typified the intelligent, healthy young Am- -, erican boys, who were ready and willing to give everything they had as soon as the war got personal, Dale didnt - want this war, but once it came to us, he gave his life toward the general aim of stopping the conflict and restoring a country where such things as basketball and football are considered important to a yong man. Dale was right that day at this sports desk. If enough people in the world believed in the same thing, Dale Rex and a lot like him would still be with us today. Its a funny thing that when war comes die people scoff at the things the sports world holds most trophies, goals, records and rules. ., Yet these things stand for life, liberty, for health ot mind nd body. Intrinsically, a foot ball letter will always be more important to an American boy 'than the croix de guerre, for one is of the realm of freedom and peace, and the cither is of the realm of destruction and death. Destruction and jdeath were not Dale Rexs realm. A great oareer awaiter him for he was a splendid student as .well as an outstanding athlete. But when the chips were down he was in there laying his a rivet life on the hold wounded comrades, in to bring alone all nest machine gun ing a 300 Germans against more than ' and winning the distinguished service cross all to help stop a fight be didnt start Members of the L'Jh County National Farm Loan Association are on to hold their annual meeting March 8, 1945, at 2 p. m. in the Randolph amusement rr.!1, according to Lewis Longhurst, secretary-trea- s v dear-champion- ships, . line-swim- ming urer.

Describing electrical manufacturing as the industry that serves all industry, George B. Cumming, general secretary of the National Electrical Man ufacturars Association, New York, asserts that tne American Workman has at his disposal more electrical horsepower to assist him in his work than any other ; workman in the world. Mr. Cumming, who will represent the industry on the Union Pacific Railroads Mutual , Network Your America, as a production, guest speaker on the March 4 program, foresees greatly increased use of electricity on the farm, as power becomes available. Modern dairying almost demands electricity,; he says. Aa;c welding is used for repairing farm machinery. Small electric feed mills, electrically driven silage . cutters and brooders for poultry, all tend to make farm labor more. efficient and less weaing. Among utilitarian appliances for the home, Mr. Cumming lists as the newest and most promising com ers in the field, he electric water heater, the electric dishwasher and the home freezer. , PAY DAY VtkVt A bond day jrep snxDtxsSAYt potuts |
