Henry Fitzpatrick Receives
Army Commendation Medal
Ft. Lt. Henry H. Fitzpatrick
of Covington, son of Mr. and Mrs.
H. H. Fitzpatrick of 301 Conyers
Street, Covington, was awarded
the Army Commendation Medal
soon after he was transferred
from Fort Hood, Texas. Lt.
Fitzpatrick is now in Stuttgart,
Germany.
The following citation was pub
lished in the Stuttgart newspaper
concerning the commendation:
"First Lieutenant Henry H.

Corp, United States Army, is

HERE ARE SOLUTIONS TO
BEDROOM DECORATING
PROBLEMS
One of the most diffi
cult rooms to decorate ef
fectively is the bedroom.
But there are a variety of
simple decorating devices
that can be used to fit your
furniture into your bedroom
with maximum usefulness
and eye appeal. The National
Association of Bedding
Manufacturers has prepared
some ideas which we’re
happy to pass along to you.
For instance, you can
blend your bed beautifully
into the background of the
room. This could mean a
patterned spread matched to
wall-paper or fabric on the
headboard wall; or use a
solid spread in a shade just
a bit lighter than the car
pet. Exciting effects, too,
can be created by applying
the same pattern or stripe
to spread, walls and
draperies.
Another idea to get a de
corator effect in your bed
room is to eliminate the
headboard of the bed. Dis
tinctive, imaginative sub
stitutes can be found. Over
size twister pillows; a low
hung grouping of colorful
framed pictures; a dramatic
panel of wallpaper—any of
these might be used.
As far as the placement of
the bed goes, we'll discuss
that--and some other bed
room ideas--in our next col
umn. Watch for it next
week. In the meantime,
stop in at Southern Manor
Home Furnishings and
browse around. We’ll be
glad to see you.
Know Your Newspoper Better
A Better Newspaper Every Issue!
That's our policy . . . and our constant endeavor. It's a large
order, and we don't always make it. But we try hard . . . and
many times we do make it—a better newspaper for you than
ever before.
How Do We Do It?
First, we plan the completest possible reporting of the news of this area. To you, the news is
the most important thing in your paper . . . and therefore it has first place in our efforts. We
also plan for better pictures every issue . . . and more pictures when space permits. And we
look for interesting feature stories for each new issue. On the editorial page, we try to do a
continually better job.
Then ... What Else Can We Do?
That's next in our planning. Can we make the paper more at
tractive to look at, and easier to read . . better type .. . larger
type . . . different width columns? We can t change these things
every issue, of course, but still we are always thinking of new
ways to improve our product ... to produce a better newspaper
issue to issue . . for better service to you, the reader.

sponsibility. In order to keep
the Battalion commander abreast
of the ever changing logistical
situation throughout the division,
Lieutenant Fitzpatrick kept in
close contact with all echelons
within the Battalion as well as
Brigade and Division level.”
“Though assignfid to the po
sition of S-4 with minimum prior
experience, Lieutenant Fitzpat
rick eagerly and aggressively at
tacked the myriad of details and
responsibilities of the job. In a
very short period of time, he had
the job under control. Under
Lieutenant Fitzpatrick’s super
vision, the Battalion prescribed
load list (PLL), accounting,
storing, issuing, and receiving
procedures were completely al
tered and reorganized.”
“This alteration resulted in an
overall Increase in percent of
PLL fill from 73% to 89% during
his tenure. This In Itself Is
remarkable considering the fact
that repair parts are continuously
being taken from the PLL to
keep the Battalion operational,
and that he achieved this ac
complishment in a matter of a
few months.”
"Throughout his assignment as
S-4, Lieutenant Fitzpatrick per
formed all his duties promptly
and efficiently. His outstanding
service in a responsible position,
devotion to duty, and superior
military conduct reflects great
credit upon himself, the Ist
Armored Division, and the United
States Army.”

Highway beautification, though
desirable, can present problems
In highway maintenance and tr
affic safety. Excessive and un
planned plantings of trees and
shrubs can hamper machine
maintenance, impede driver visi
bility, and can shade the roadway
excessivley, slowing melting of
icy spots and evaporation of sur
face water. Wet spots on the
roadway are not only potential
safety hazards, but can in time
cause deterioration of the paving.
