Local Man With Outfit
To Bologna and Po
Valley Gateway
WITH THE FIFTH ARMY,
Italy—Pfc. Haskill C. Hibbs,
armored car driver, of Trenton
is a member of the 91st Cav¬
alry Reconnaissance troop,
now probing the entrance to
the Po Valley in Italy near Bo¬
logna.
As the Fifth Army took Pie-
tramala and Monghidoro and
moved closer to Bologna, the
troopers working ahead of the
infantry frequently took Ger¬
mans by surprise in untapped
enemy territory.
• Members of the "snoop"
troop, a unit of the 91st "Pow¬
der River" division, surprised
eight Germans in an enemy ob¬
servation post near Pietramala
and captured seven of them.
The troop returned to the place
the next day and was ambush¬
ed by 50 Germans. The 91st
cut a hole in the cordon with
machinegun fire and got out as
fast as its vehicles would move
in a hail of artillery and mor¬
tar fire.
The troopers, with a variety
of intense fires, made short
work of Germans in Monghi¬
doro and quickly picked up 23
prisoners there.
The 1st Platoon captured an¬
other observation post and
manned .It, directing artillery
fire against unsuspecting Ger¬
mans all about. When the ene¬
my discovered what had hap¬
pened and turned their artillery
on their, former observation
post, the troopers withdrew.
The recon men sailed for
North Africa in April, 1944, and
entered combat near Rosig-
nano, Italy. They have been
on the line (or, more often, be¬
yond it) more than 160 days.
They were early arrivals at
Leghorn and Pisa and along
the banks of the Arno River.
They later tested the Gothic
Line.
Captain Clifford E. Lippincott,
Northampton, Mass., com¬
mands the troop.

Red Cross Activities In
Dade County, '44-45
In the wo years that Mrs.
Frank Morrison has been pro¬
duction chairman of the Dade
County chapter of the American
Red Cross the women of the
county have completed:
Three hundred bedside bags,
ice bags and hot water bottle
covers, 3 diapers, 3 large quilts
(made out of scraps), 8 small
quilts (made out of scraps), 180
bed ackets, 133 overalls, 63
blouses (others are being
made).
You women have knit for the
Red Cross: 17 navy sweaters,
35 army sweaters, 7 army hel¬
mets, 135 army mufflers.
Many servicemen and their
families come to the home serv¬
ice department of the Red
Cross. In a month there are
about 20 servicemen or their
families who come for help or
information to get a furlough or
extension of furlough because
of illness in the family. This has
to be verified by the doctor in
charge and a telegram sent to
the Red Cross at the service¬
mens camp or station as well
as the telegram sent by the fam¬
ily or the serviceman in case
of extension. These Red Cross
verification telegrams are a
large Dade County chapter ex¬
pense.
There are two or three boys
a month while home on fur¬
lough get sick. They must
either report back to camp or
in case of illness to the nearest
mi“itary hospital. If the serv¬
iceman is too ill to get there
himself this means a telephone
call to Fort Oglethorpe, which
is our nearest military hospital,
to request that an ambulance
be sent to take these sick boys
to Fort Oglethorpe hospital.
Three or four times a month
the military authorities write to
the boys local or home chapter
Red Cross for a social or medi¬
cal history. This means that
the serviceman has not made
proper adjustment to his army
or navy surroundings or he is
sick and the doctors want to
know somethink about his
childhood or childhood sick¬
nesses. As the doctors cannot
talk personally to the service¬
man's mother or wife for the in¬
formation which they need they
ask the Red Cross representa¬
tive to go to the serviceman's
family for the information.
There are about 10 families a
who ask for help or in¬
formation in filling out govern¬
papers. These may be
for family allotments which
means help in mak¬
out a budget or help in se¬
birth or marriage certi¬
or just guidance in filling
out the papers. It may be pen¬

Acts of 195, page 197.
"4. Sec- IV: Be it further

6. Sec. 5. Be i further in-
acted, that whenever any va¬
cancy shall occur in said

It is interesting to note how
short, or brief this law is got-
en up and ye it covers the in¬
tention of those who were in-
corporaed.
This act was assented to
Dec. 12th, 1859, so reads the
approval-
This old church building
stands out as one of the old
land marks of our county and
the then "Town of Trenton,"
now called the "City of Tren¬
ton."
Jfis membership has dwin-
dwled, its services ceased, but
its historic marks are still
standing.
This building was erected
and dedicated to the Master,
was a place of worship, in
which in its early days and
long thereafter, its members
really worshipped inthat spirit,
which seems to have faded
somewhat along with the
change and progress of the
years.
Believe we should protect
this building andits grounds,
in memory of its builders and

Take Proper Care
Of Fruit Trees,
Farm Agent Urges
Fruit trees that receive prop¬
er care will furnish an ample
supply of high quality tree-rip¬
ened fruit for family use as well
as for sale to local markets., L.
C. Adams, County Agent, de¬
clared this week, urging Dade
County families to take proper
| care of their fruit trees.
! "The care that is given to the
trees will play a large part in
determining the quality of fruit
that will be harvested,' Mr.
Adams pointed out. "Control of
diseases and insects is one of
the important steps in securing
high quality fruit-"
Mr. Adams recommended
carrying out the following
practices in the orchard dur-
in 9 the month of April:
Cultivate the soil under the
trees every 10 days to two
weeks ' bein 9 careful not to de ‘
stroy the roots of the trees.
2. Pick up all fruit that falls
from the trees and destroy or
burn it..
3. Peaches, cherries, plums
and apricats should be spray¬
ed to control brown rot. This
spray should be applied two
weeks after the peaches have
shed their shucks, or when ex¬
posed. Mix four to six pounds
of wettable sulphur, which is
sold under many different trade
names, per 50 gallons of water.
For late emerging curiculio, add
one and one-half pounds of ar¬
senate of lead plus three
pounds of hydrated lime.
4. Apples, pears and similar
fruits should be sprayed to con¬
trol scab. This spray should be
applied when 75 per cent of
he petals have fallen. Mix
three to four quarts of concen-
rated lime-sulphur solution per
50 gallons of water. For the
ontrol of the codling moth, add
one and one-half pounds of
arsenate of lead plus two and
one-half pounds of hydrated
lime.
5. Bunch grapes should be
sprayed with a 4-5-50 Bordeau
mixture just after growth starts
but before blossoms open. This
should be repeaed soon
the blossoms shed and
again when grapes are about
grown- Directions for mak¬
ing Bordeau mixture may be se
