Tells of Shooting
Japs On Iwo Jima
Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Matney
received a letter from their son,
Rayford, last week. It was headed
“The Pacific Ocean, March 9.
Here are some of the things he
said: ,
“There is not much that I can
say about combat on Iwo Jima,
onl it was rather hard. I got an-
other small cut by a mortar in
the right hand. There is not even
•a scar, so don’t worry.
“Did I tell you about killing
four Japs up there? We had mov-
ed up for about 500 yards and I
was looking for a command post.
The first Nip was in a hole by
himself, so I let him have a few
rounds about 10 feet away when
one little devil shot at^ me but
missed by a hair. I fired a few
rounds in the hole and my buddy
fired also. One Jap came out. I
shot him six times before he fell.
I thought he would never fall.
One of the other Japs thupw a
grenade but failed to hit us. Then
we got both of them.”
Gibson Praises
Young Soldiers
Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Gibson of
the Grow community recently re-
ceived a letter from their son,
Lt J. J. Gibson Jr., who is in
the Sixth Marine division in the
Pacific. It was written from Oki-
nawa and stated that the Marines
and Army have things under con-
^roi thfirc*
Lt. Gibson landed in Okinawa
with the assault troops on Easter
Sunday. As a company command-
er he is full of praise for his men
who met their first baptism ol
fire like seasoned veterans. His
men are mostly 18 and 19 yea1
olds and he says they are the
greatest bunch of fellows in the
world. , . ,.
“The civilians here are strictly
Japanese,” said Lt. Gibson. ‘‘Our
■job for a few days was cleaning
out caves. Mostly we would get
civilians, but did find some sold-
iers. It was a pretty ticklish job
because we would have to go in
and drag them out. I really do
know what bombing is now, too.
Lt. Gibson stated that he saw
the famed correspondent, Ernie
Pyle, just a few days before he
was killed.

ed but it was suggested that, if
possible, an office be set up some-
where with a competent person in
charge to take care of the wants
and assist Returning soldiers to
secure the kind of occupation
they desire.
Definite plans are made by the
G. I. Bill of Rights whereby a

if they need hospitalization, af-
ter having been discharged, and
are not able to finance them-
selves a loan can be secured. If

J. D. WILSON
After having served for eight
years as School Superintendent
Mr. Wilson has resigned to ac-
cept the superintendency of the
Ballinger schools. He is one of
Texas outstanding educators. His
resignation was a great shock to
the patrons, pupils and teachers of
the Paducah schools.
A,*
Pfc* Elmo Blount
Is Visiting Here
Pfc, Elmo Blount, son of Mr.
and Mrs. Jim Blount of the Del-
win community, is here on a
30 day furlough visiting his par-
ents and other relatives and many
friends. He will report back for
duty at Shoemaker, California,
the latter part of May.
Pfc. Blount is a member of the
Marine Corps Artillery .He vol-
unteered in 1942 and has been
overseas, in the Pacific area,
since April of 1943. During that
time he has seen much action,
one of the major engagements
being at New Georgia. For the
most part he has been on the Sol-
omon Islands, Guam and Hawaii.
In speaking of the Jap people
Pfc. Blount said they would have
to kill all the Japs on their home
land as they would never surren-
der. He told of instances where
Japanese children would come
toward them with their hands in
the air but it would be discover-
ed they were carrying hand gre-
nades. The women were the same
way. Children and women often
have to be shot to keep them
from throwing the grenades
among the soldiers.
WALTER C. TEEL

Mr. and Mx-s. Walter Teel of
route 1, Paducah, received a tel-

CPL. T. KLUTTS
GIVES HIS LIFE
Cpl. Thomas Klutts, 26, only
son of Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Klutts
of Paducah, was killed in action
in Germany April 17. This infor-
mation was received by telegram
to Mr. and Mrs. Klutts from the
war department Wednesday morn-
ing about 9 o’clock. It contained
the following message:
“The Secretary of War desires
me to express his deep regret that
your son, Cpl. Klutts, Thomas M.,
was killed in action in Germany
17 Apr. 45. Confirming letter
follows.”
The telegram was signed by
J. A. Ulio, Adjutant General.
Cpl. Klutts joined the infantry
February 9, 1943. He was sent
overseas and landed in England
in January 1945. He was immedi-
ately sent to the front and was
with .the 1st Army continuously
up to the time he was killed.
Cpl’ Klutts was an only child
of Mr. and Mrs. Klutts. He had
lived in Paducah and Cottle coun-
ty .a long time and was known

rowed to learn of his death.
DESCRIBES
RETAKING OF
CORREGIDOR
Mr. and Mrs. R. A. Stennett
of route 1, Paducah, received a
letter from their son, Weldon, who
is in the navy describing some of
the things that happened at Cor-
regidor.
“Some time ago we had a ring-
side seat for one of the thrilling-
scenes of the war. We gave naval
support for the landing on Cor-
regidor, and what a show it was.
“The ‘rock’ was well plastered
by army bombers. Early in the
morning at 8:30 the paratroop-
ers arrived. Soon the air was
full of parachutes of all colors.
They looked like highly magnified
raindrops in slow motion. It was
J. D. WILSON
RESIGNS AS
SCHOOL SUPT.
J. D. Wilson, superintendent of
the'Paducah schools, has resigned
and will ’accept a place at Ballin-
ger as superintendent.
At Mr. Wilson’s request the
school board here released him
from his present contract at a
meeting Tuesday. He will serve
this school term, which closes
June 30, and will take up his
work at Ballinger as of July 1.
In commenting on his resigna-
tion Mr. Wilson stated that it
was with much regret that he and
his family are leaving, but the
Ballinger school is larger and of-
fers a greater opportunity in the
-way of a promotion.
The Wilsons have been in Pa-
ducah for the past eight years,
during which time he has been at
the head of the school system.
Wonderful improvements have
been made during his administra-
tion. The finanial condition of the
school was in rather bad shape
when he came. Today it is in ex-
cellent condition. A number of
credits have also been added to
the schools and it ranks close to
the top with the educational de-
partment of the state.
“I was not ‘shopping’ for a
new location,” said Mr. Wilson.
“I was invited to go to Ballinger
for a conference with the school
board, the results of which were
that I could hardly afford to turn
the offer down.”
During Mr. Wilson’s adminis-
tration here there has been prac-
tically no fiction among teacher,
pupils or patrons. He has deve-
loped an outstanding school sys-
tem and an equal replacement
will be hard to secure by the
school board.

IS KILLED
Rent Properties
Registered Here
There were 170 houses and
three hotel registrations made in
Paducah during the week of April
16 through 21 according to the
Memphis-Quanah Defense Rental
Administratin, headquarters of
which is at Childress.
Harold D. Cornell, rent inspec-
tor for this area, said they ex-
pect to have a representative in
Paducah one day of each week
beginning with the week of May
21.
There are a few rental proper-
ties yet unregistered in Paducah
due to owners not knowing of
the dates that were set for regis-
tration. Such owners should get
in connection with the home office
at Childress.
NEW RULES FOR
TRACTOR GAS
A change has been made by
OPA in issuing ti-actor gasoline
whereby “R” and “E” coupons
will be given in two installments.
When a user gets his tractor gas-
oline he will be issued 70 per
cent of his allotment at the time.
After that he applies in person or
by mail for the remaining 30 per
cent.
A record .by users of “R” cou-
pons will be required by all per-
sons. The card must be signed
at the time of delivery by the
person making it. The' supplier
must fill in the required informa-
tion on the R-585 record for all
bulk deliveries that are made on
the premisies, at a service sta-
tion or bulk plant.
“Persons receiving the gaso-
line should check all entries made
by the deliverer to ascertain their |
correctness. The delivery record
must be presented to the War
Price and Rationing Board with
each application or request for
non-highway gasoline,” said mem-
bers of the local board.
The required records may be
secured from the local office by
those who are now required to
keep them.
Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Cook of the
Cee Vee community recently re-
ceived a telegram from the war
department notifying them that
a marvelous sight, the. transport.! ^ir son, Pfc. Ola N. Cook, was
planes coming in one right after Jgled m action on Luzon March
another dropping their load of
chutists. You could see them com-
ing, evenly spaced, for miles, just
like heavy traffic on a holiday
in the states.
“Then the troopers began to
land on the beach. The whole
operation was beautifully co-ordi-
nated. Each element played its
part perfectly, working together
with the smoothness of a highly
trained football team.
“All this time the air was full
of planes of all kinds—fighters,
bombers, observation and our
own float planes. While the trans-
ports were flying at one level,
bombers were coming in at a
different altitude and dropping
their bombs on different parts of
the island.
“After the paratroopers had
landed the plateau on top of Cor-
regidor looked very much like a
Philippine wash day, as they lay
their laundry out on the grass to
dry and the island was dotted
with various colore,d- chutes.
“It was an unforgetable sight,
particularly because it meant the
recapture of Corregidor where
our owTn troops held on so tena-
siously about three years ago.”
Waste Paper Drive
Gains Momentum
The waste paper drive is gradu-
ally gaining momentum in Padu-
cah and Cottle county accord-
in to Andrew Carroll, one of the
city employees who is making
collections and being responsible
for the drive.
“We w'ould like) to secure
enough paper to complete a car
load by the 15th of this month,”
said Mr. Carroll. “A paper mill
at Dallas has agreed to accept it
at that time and if the people will
put out a little more effort in
salvaging paper we will be able
to complete the car,” he said.
28.
No specific information was re-
ceived. The Telegram ha,d the
usual wording of such messages
and was signed by the assistant
to the Adjutant Genex-al.
Pfc. Cook was 26 years of
age. He volunteered for the reg-
ular army in February 1942. He
went overseas in July of the same
year and had never had a fur-
lough nor visited his home since
his enlistment.
Among many of the places he
saw service were Hawaii, New
Guinea and the Philippine Islands,
where he was killed while in ac-
tion..
The war department notified
Mr. and Mrs. Cook that more
specific information would be
sent as soon as it is received from
the Pacific headquarters.
The quota for the Seventh^
War Bond drive for Cottle and
King counties has been officially
set at $250,000.00, according to
Pat N. Jones, one of the chair-
men. This amount embraces $1-
30,000.00 of the series “E” bonds
and $120,000.00 of all other
kinds.
The “kick-off” for this drive
does not officially start until the
14 th' of this month, but for the
series “E” the drive is on now
and people are urged to buy all
they can before the official date.
Any “E” bonds purchased now
will apply on the over-all quota.
Other bonds will not be placed
on the market until the opening
day.
“The 7th bond drive is one of
the most important we have ever
had,” said Mr. Jones. “We have
been cautioned over and over that
if V-E day should come in Europe
within the next few days, which
it looks as though it will, people
are going to be prone to slacken
their pace in the war effort and
let the bond issue drag. But we
must remember that a whale of a
job lies ahead of us in the deep
Pacific. Conquering Japan means
that all of the materials from
the European section must be
moved a long distance, soldiers
will have . to be transferred as
will supplies and ammunition.
This will necessitate the expendi-
ture of much money and this is
our only way of securing it. The
government warns over and over
again that the hardest fighting is
still ahead with Japan. It is going
to take months and maybe go into
years before we are successful in
conquering the Nips. While our
boys on the fighting front are
doing this we must continue to
support them with everything
from the home front and the sale
the number one item before us
of the bonds for the 7th drive is
now,” said Mr. Jones.
The organization for this drive
has been completed with Elzie
and Pat N. Jones as general
chairman. District chairmen and
co-workers have been set up in
all the communities and every-
thing is ready for the kick-off
on the opening day. But people
are urged to buy series “E” bonds
in the meantime and get that quo-
ta as much out of the way as pos-
sible.
J. C. COMPTON
SUCCUMBS
Funeral services will be con-
ducted Friday afternoon, May 4,

Compton; three brothers, J. M.„
Richard and Grady of Paducah,

An unusual incident occurred
in the_ death of Mi’. Compton in
that his father passed away the
same month, the same day, the
same hour and almost exactly
the same miunte in 1939.
In his 21 years as a resident
of this county Mr. Compton had
made many close and lasting
friends who will regret

Used Clothing Campaign
Falls Short of Quota
The used clothing campaign for
war stricken nations closed here
Tuesday night when a show was
given by Manager R. W. Simp-
son of the Palace Theatre, the
admission being 'a bundle of
clothes.
Volunteer workers are now
busy assorting and packing the
clothing that has been jeontribut-
ed. Sam Weatherall, chairman of
the campaign drive, stated that
it would be hard to estimate the
number of pounds-that has been
received but it would be around
10,000. The ovex-all quota for
Cottle and King counties was set
at 50,000 pounds, but It is the
belief of the chairman and his
co-workers that an ex’ror was
made in this assessment, as cities
and towns much larger than Pa-
ducah had quotas less than that.
Final packing can not be ac-
week. There are many volunteer
complished before the end of the
workers, but it x-equires a lot of
wox-k to sepax'ate the clothing and
get garments and shoes of a simi-
lar nature in the saxne package.
Shipping instructions have not
yet been x-eceived from national
headquai-tex-s, but the committee
is standing by for orders. Mr.
Weatherall suspects that they
will ask shipment to be made by
expx-ess or the collection to some
other nearby town to help com-
plete a caidoad.
