WATCH TOUB
EXPIRATION DAIS
AND THE BURLESON COUNTY LEDGER
THREE OLD friends, all in the
armed forcett of the United States
met in Caldwell last week and the
earlier part o this week. They were
Pfc. Judson Wombb, Pvt. B. O.
Milx-an and Petty Officer second
class Hubert Willis. McLean will
remain in Caldwell on a two weeks'
furlough from Camp Luna, Las
Vegas, New Mexico; Judson left
Tuesday for Fort Sum Houston
and Hubert returned th latter part
of last week to California, where
he reported for duty. Willis, who
joined the Nuvy some eighteen
months ago, has been on liourd
ship in many parts of th Pacific
and has seen some submarine ac-
tion. He stated that he had been
in places where some mighty good
battles could have ensued hut that
as luck would have it, they got
through without much trouble or
uction.
•
"IT IS miich quieter in the
Pacific now than it was when I
first went out there," stated Hu
bert. "The United States Navy
and Marines and Air Forces have
pushed the enemy a good way
back and things are not as hot
out there now. He said that the
Japs' airplanes were not nearly
as substantial as ours, lie said
they would Break up of their own
accord after two or three months'
use bccause of their temporary
design. "They do not build per-
manent planes like we do," Wil-
lis said. "They build their planes
on the assumption that they will
be shot down soon, anyway, and
if they see three months' action,
they have dime their job. There-
fore. if we ever net at the Japn'
airplane manufacturing planta
and blow 'em up there, the planes
they now have will soon play out
of their own ill construction, even
if they are not shot down sooner
than that."

LAST SUNDAY, during the
broadcast of the "Army Hour,"
2:30 o'clock over KPRC, it was
revealed for the first time the
full story of the Forty-Fifth di-
vision's part in the battle for
Sicily. The 45th, without previous
experience in actual combat, |
spearheaded the Allied Invasion
of Sicily after sailing direct from
the shores of the United States
to the beaches of the Mediter-
I ranean island. This is the division
which is made up chiefly of men
from the Southwest. Joe Dan
Philp is one of the Texas boys
in this Iftth Division. He has been
with his outfit in the thick of the
Sicily campaign and his mother,
M rs. Flossie I'hilp. has not heard
from him in several weeks. These
men were trained thoroughly for
just such a job as they were
called upon to do and they did it
in «real style. As Senator Tom
fonnalh ho aptly put it when
talking to friends at Bryan last
Sunday evening, "Whenever any-
thing big is done in this war. you
can always find a bunch of Texas
boys doing it."
HEY. AND Mrs. J. ( arroll Coop
<t gave a ring the other day and
asked me to cinv over to their
hack yard and see a beautiful
blooming bush There w< re lis
blooms on this Tame Jepson bush.
The blooms, large anil velvety
white, looked n good deal like Kast-
er lillics. These 11H blnoin- were
on (INK BUSH. Th blooms on this
type of plant come out at night
and remain open until about 10
o'clock in the morning. Then they
roll up and eventually die. Othei
blooms blossom forth soon after.
Since observing this bush, 1 have
noticed several oth< r such plants
in Caldwell but none as large and
beautiful nor with as many blooms
as the Cooper Tame Jeinpson had
that day.
OLD ED Wilson. 75-year-old
colored veteran of Caldwell, was
in again Saturday to got his paper
He seldom misses a week. Comes
into the office grinning like a pet
coon eating thistles, takes a nickel
from bis rabbit-skin bag, self made
and declares that next week he in-
tends to subscribe to th, paper for
a whole year. If you haven't seen
Kd Wilson and his rabbit-skin bag.

PFC JOSEPH Polak of Camp

St. Wrba last week-end. Polak is
I ruin Prague, Czechoslovakia, and
vas 2nd Lt. in the Czech army.
When Hitler took over the Czech
government, Polak felt that Po-
land would be invaded, so he or-
ganized an army of 850 men, and

"We are going to win this war. You know that as well

day evening in an informal talk at a barbecue dinner served
him and several hundred friends at the Fin and Feather
Club near Bryan.
Among the more than 200 assembled guests were many
civic and political leaders and friends of Mr. Connally's. They

Cotton Crop Is
Almost Ready In
Burleson County
Picking Already Started In
Many Sections, Declares
County Agent
Declaring that insect infestation
in Burleson County is low thus far
this year, L. C. Eakin, county
agent, indicated that it would like-
ly remain so unless showers con-
tinued which would cause an in-
crease.
Eakin said that the cotton crop
in this county is well on its way
and in many sections just about
ready for picking. He said that the
county likely would average, as
usual, about one-third bale to the
acre, that the crop is generally
considered good, although the yield
probably would not reach the 1942
total.

Tropical Hurricane
Does Much Damage
In Coast Area
The full force of a tropical hur-
ricane, reaching Galveston at 1:45
Tuesday afternoon, when the wind
velocity was measured at 70 miles
per hour, mounted in intensity as
the afternoon progressed and drove
inland at a rate of 1Ü12 miles per
hour, doing over 10 million dollars
worth of damage.
Houston was hard hit by the
hurricane. Wires were down and
transportation held up.
By I p.m. the skies were clear
and the wind was blowing nt 45 to
50 miles per hour, the bulk of the
tonn having passed.
A steady rain set in at Caldwell
Wednesday morning and kept up
a monotonous downpour for several
hours. It was said by farmers that
the rain here was not needed and
would likely cause further insect
infestation to the crops.
The chicken barbecue in honor
of Senator Connally was given by
J. M. Fountain und Mills P. Walk-
er, two of the Senator's Bryan
friends.
Adjournment of Congress early
in the month enabled the Senator
to visit Texas for the first time in
many months and he seemed in
high spirits as he told his friends
how happy he was to be back
among them. He felt secure in
stating that the Allied Nations are
moving well along the route to
all-out victory.

County Prepares For
Scrap Iron Drive Soon
Another scrap-iron driv. will be
launched in Burleson County by the
Salvage Committee on Monday,
August '.I, and every effort will In?
made to clean the section of all
junk which was overlooked in pre-
vi us driv.s. Jack Clark, Chairman
of the cominillo, stated that the
drive would extend all over the
county and throughout the city of
Caldwell.
At a meeting of the Burleson
County Salvage Committee at the
City office Thursday night plans
wire formulated to conduct another
tin can drive here and throughout
the county. Jack Clark, chairman
of the salvage committee, stated
that the county had fallen down
on its quota of cans during the past
six months, and that a new drive
would open Tuesday, August 3.
A representative from the W. P.
B. Dallas District, in Caldwell
Wednesday, pointed out that the
shredding plant in Houston has
been in operation only one or two
days each week recently and that
the war effort was being jolted be-
cause of lack of cans to keep this
valuable plant in operation.
Copper gleaned from the re-pro-
cessing of the old tins will keep
the war machinery going. More
iopp:r can lie salvaged in this
fashion, if the plant can be kept
going, than can lie secured through
mining.
All cans saved by housewives
should be put in boxes or sacks
and placed in front of their homes
Tuesday morning and sometime
during the day trucks will com; by
and pick up the cans. Those who
di sire to carry their own cans to
the junk pile may do so. This will
save the committee considerable
work. If you carry off your own
cans, take them to the bin at the
Fair Grounds, which place has been
provided for the dumping of tin
cans. Later a .'1-ton truck from
Houston will pick up the cans, and
remove them to Houston for shred-
ding.
It is vitally important that all
cans in Caldwell be collected Tues-
day. See that yours are in the pro-
per plac. to be collected. t
