Washington, Nov. 4—A draft
registrant in Poinsett County, Ark.
who brought his local board a
letter proving he was married and
the father of ^?even children is

promptly to the induction station.
It read:
"Dear U. S. Army:
“My husband asked me to write
a recommend that he supports his
family. He cannot read, so don't
tell him. Just take him. He ain't
no good to me. He ain't done
nothing but raise hell and drink
lemon essence since I married him
8 years ago, and I got to feed
seven kids of his. Maybe you can
get him to carry a gun. He's good
| on squirrels and eating. Take him
! and welcome. I need the grub, and
his bed for the kids. Don't tell
him this, but just take him and
send him as far as you can.”
Escape Tunnel 1$ Found
In Nazi Prisoners' Camp
Trinidad, Col., Nov. 8—Discovery
of a hidden, electricially lighted,
150-foot tunnel leading beyond the
outer fence is believed to have
frustrated the escape of a large
number of German prisoners of
war at Camp Trinidad, Lt. Col. W.
S. Hannan said Monday.
Col. Hannan, commanding of
ficer of the camp, said the tunnel
exit was discovered first as the
result of investigation of several
recent escapes. Fully 65 feet out
side the fence, it was covered
with foliage growing in dirt-filled
boxes which could be lifted out
by men escaping, he explained.
The entrance to the tunnel then
was located beneath a trap door
in a closet ob a barracks building
in the German officers’ compound.
The Gedmans had run an electric
extension cord into the shaft and
dirt taken out during the month
long digging, he said, was dispos
ed of at intervals in small quan
tities.
Prisoners involved in construc
tion or use of the tunnel are fac
ing disciplinary action permiss-
able for German prisoners of war,
the colonel said.
Thanksgiving Food
Picture Not So Dark
New York, Nov. 6—America's
traditional Thanksgivnig day
feast will be about as bountiful as
last year, but the Christmas din
ner menu may be different, the
American Institute of Food Distri
bution announced Saturday.
Some shortages may occur in
various sections of the nation be
fore Thanksgiving due to poor dis
tribution, the institute said.
Christmas prospects, it indicated
will tend to hinge on how much
is left over after Thanksgiving
marketing with the likelihood of
moresh ortages.
Generally higher retail prices
were forecast by the institute, a
non-profit research agency, as a
result of adjustments of food ceil
ings to cover increased labor costs.
The turkey question was still
open. The institute estimated tur
key production at around 465,000,-
000 pounds, about the same as in
1942, with 35,000,000 pounds ear
marked for the armed. forces. More
chickens and other fowls will bo
available.
In many Georgia towns, includ
ing Butler, postal receipts climbed
to a new high point for October.

Atlanta, Nov. 6.—The Atlanta
Constitution said Saturday night
“the name of Gov. Arnall probably
will be placed in nomination for
president of the United States at
the next national Democratic Con-
vention.”
j The paper added, “and the Geor
gia party, eager to give Georgians
on far-flung battlefields an oppor
tunity to vote in next year's pri
mary, probably will close its en
tries two months earlier than cus-
| ternary.
“These two important develop
ments,” The Constitution declared
“were disclosed by Chairman J. L.
Duckworth Saturday as he pre
pared to call a meeting of the
state democratic executive com-
• mittee.”
| The Constitution's story said
; “Af^nall would be Georgia's ‘favor
ite son’ in a play for better pa
tronage treatment for this state at
the hands of the national party.
Duckworth predicted his commit-
I tee will instruct the Georgia dele
gation to cast a first ballot for the
youthful governor ...”
Duckworth was quoted by The
! Constitution as saying he would
| ask his committee to set the entry
dates for candidates next year in
April or May, instead of in July.
The Constitution reported "Duck
worth said he would call the state
executive committee into session
before Christmas to adopt new
rules and regulations and to pro
vide for the naming of the dele
gates to the national convention.”
Cochran, Ga., Nov. 8-kAfter 28
years in the dairy business, Mr..
and Mrs. J. G. Wilder have closed
shop on account of ill health. The
records are clear with only or.e
bill not collected in all those ydars
and that bill was only $2.60. Mrs.
Wilder says her customers, were
the best ever. The business -clear
ed $500 a year from the beginning
and kept a record of all feeds and
milk sold.
Last Saturday Mr. Wilder visited
! their 38 customers to tell them he
had put their fine Jersey cows out
to pasture and had given, each a
pat on the back. He will raise
yearlings for the market instead
of selling milk and butter.
! Mrs. Wilder started selling milk
J and butter to help out when they
had six children in the Cochran
grammar school at one-.time. The
i children brought the milk to town
to deliver as they walked, more
i than the mile to school. Mrs.
| Wilder did the milking as well as
her sewing and other house work.
About five years ago she went vis-
itiig in Alabama after making ar
rangements for the cafp.jof her
cows and dairy products. Upon
her return she decided she .would
not milk any more and announced
the fact to the family., Her excuse
was her rheumatism. To .this day
she has not milked again and now
the 68-year-old husband has de
cided he will not do any more
milking. He cared for ,the seven
] cows with the help of one depend
able negro. ■ .
