hile the SS William T. Coleman was moored beside an
ammunition vessel, enemy planes set the latter afire. Radio Operator,
James C. Huett, volunteered to sever the lines that held his ship as
bursting bombs and blazing gasoline endangered the Coleman. Quickly he
completed the hazardous operation for which he was awarded the Mer-
chant Marine Distinguished Service Medal. His ship moved off to a safe
distance; the ammunition ship sank. War Bond purchases pay for ships
so badly needed to carry on this war. v. s. T,tatVrj D.portmn,

Remedy for Diseases
of Fruit Trees
I wish to pass to fruit growers a
remedy for many ails in the fruit
orchards, such as borers, St. Jose
scale and wilts.
I use 2G cans of Eagle lye to 10
gallons of water. The water should

jar. Dig the dirt away from the
roots of the tree about 2'^ inches
: deep. 12 inches around. Use a string
or rag mop on end of broom handle;
mop the entire tree, then pour about
1 pint around the roots.
This treatment should be used in
January or February. You will have
a clean, shining bark next spring.

It is good to prune your trees before

and make the round trip a second

you still would not have covered the
mileage one cf the Navy's ships must
cover In delivering a war cargo from
San Francisco to the beachhead and
returning.
But not all the Navy’s ships can
leave from San Francisco. Some of
them pull out of East Coast ports

these tips on the care of your refrigerator for longer life and more
economical service:
At least once each year, have a qualified serviceman check your refrig-/
