BUSY COTTON BARGE
Cotton, coal, steel and marble
have contributed greatly tor the past
tiO years to the growth and prosperi-
ly of Alabama. Busy barges groaned
but kept going under heavier car-
goes just as they had plied the riv-
ers for decades when life was more
colorful and a continual struggle.
Tlie real upturn in Alabama's affairs
started in 18B0 and has continued. It
has brought better working and liv-
ing conditions. The war brought
added colls for cotton, added loads
for the barges. Men on Hie fighting
fronts need cotton and more War
Bonds must be purchased to pay for
it. Cotton, barges. War Bonds . . .
all needed to win the war.

Jap Sniper Is Beheaded
By Low-Flying Avenger
PEARL HARBOR, H. I. - Naval
Lieut. Raymond Globokar, Chis j
holm, Minn., found a new way to I
eliminate Jap snipers during the!
battle for Tinian when his low flying I
Avenger observation plane de
capitated a Jap perched in a tree.
The plane was skimming along at ]
tree top level. Marine Capt. Grady | :
Gatlin, an aerial observer, said. "I
felt the plane strike something," he
said. "I looked back to see what
was left: A wooden platform and a
piece of tin. To my surprise a Jap I (
sniper was falling out of the tree."|
The plane's crew, the report said,
did not spot the sniper until they
were almost upon the tree. Then,
Instead of zooming, the pilot de-
cided to go right through.
GI Joe Influences the
Aussies’ Eating Habits
GI Joe Is leaving his culinary
mark on Australia. The presence of
thousands of servicemen "down un-
der,” plus food rationing, has meant
break-away by the Aussies from
their traditional meat, potato and
pudding diet, the Australian infor-
mation service reports.
Mutton and beef, formerly eaten
almost to the exclusion of other
meats, is scarce and rationed, so un-
rationed chicken is fast becoming a
staple article of diet. In prewar
days, it was almost always heavily :
roasted by Australian cooks. At GI
suggestion, the housewives have
learned to fry It a la Maryland, says
the Australian Information service.
When Americans were seen ev- j
erywhere ordering sweet corn, Aus- ]
tralians tried It, liked It and added j
It permanently to their bill of fare. ;
Joe's habit of eating fruit for break-
fast has caught on. Breakfast melon
and orange juice from now on will i
Introduce the porridge, bacon and j
eggs or grilled fish. A variety of !
canned vegetables are currently
appearing on menus down under,
now that potatoes are scarce, and
string beans, spinach, peas, toma-
toes and tomato products are roll-
ing out of newly built canneries in
record quantities, according to the
Information service.
Salads, once an unimaginative
bowl of beets or lettuce and uncut
tomato, are looking crisp and tempt-
ing as Australian homemakers try
out American ideas. The continent’s
fine fruits of all kinds have sudden-
ly been appreciated by natives as
well as the visiting servicemen, the
report adds, and have helped make
Australians healthier even on a war-
time diet. I
