Dade County’s Only Newspaper. VOLUME LI *-(HMMMMMHMMHHHMMMHHHMMMMf DALLYIN’ IN By Myrna R. McMahan ******* *************"**** We feel pretty secure as we sit on our front porch on these hot summer evenings, listening to arguments of the night in¬ sects, the shrill cries of our young ones at play and slapp¬ ing at an occasional mosquito; in fact, it’s very easy for us to become oblivious to the skir¬ mish on the other side of the globe. Then, it’s disheartening to think that some of our local boys are right in the middle of it and maybe we will soon be, so this week we’re going to set the Korean story right in your laps by giving you some facts about the people, country, etc., as told to us by recently returned Ma¬ rine Corporal Hubert Lacy. Korean country is moun- taincus and dotted here, there and yon with small villages of thatched huts and shops, po¬ pulated with a brown, Jap- anese-looking people. Their black hair,> dark eyes and skin make them easily distinguish¬ able from the American race. , The South Koreans grow mostly rice crops when they are not fleeing from the invaders. Most of them leave their farms when the Chinese advance, be¬ cause they know the U. S. troops will not be far away and will make it hot for the enemy. Later, when the dust settles, they come back home and try to pick up where they left off. Family conditions are very poor and some of the people barely survive, living on rice or whatever is available as they, move southward from the core of heavy fighting. California weather prevails, with hot days, cold nights, lots of rain and freezing tempera¬ tures in the winter. Hubert was with the First Marine Division which landed in Korea February 21^. He car¬ ried a Browning Automatic Rifle weighing 21 lbs. with a fully loaded magazine. His com¬ pany fought on the front lines for about two weeks at a time, falling back at intervals of a week to rest and re-organize. At the time he left, troop morale was sinking low—the average soldier just wanted to “clean up this mess and get out of here.” Newspapers exag¬ gerate most of the actual hap¬ penings, but the fighting really is fierce and rugged, according to the young Marine who saw more action than he will admit. IDLE MOMENTS Flurry of excitement down at Dyer Motor Co. when a truck and trailer pulled up Friday to unload four brand-new Dodges. This was the first direct ship¬ ment. Perplexity of R. R. Station attendant at small children who play on the tracks. This is a dangerous game and should be stopped before someone gets killed. Once he had to run out and snatch a child from the path of an on-coming train. Abundance of peaches for sale on the square until we de¬ cide to buy some. Housewives over the county are busily can¬ ning peaches, beans, beets, car¬ rots, and chickens. PULLEN TAKES COLOR MOVIES; HOGS STAR IN FIRST PRODUCTION Hollywood has nothing on Dade County; where film pro¬ ducers out there vie for the ta¬ lents of movie queens, Dade’s Bii! Pullen has no trouble sign¬ ing up luscious beauties. His first production was filmed near Rising Fawn a few weeks ago and the public will soon be privileged to decide whether the acting abilities of Miss Poland China should be reserved for more film or to let her option go to the highest bidder. Color shots were made in Wallen’s pasture and the stars were his prime hogs who took this motion picture business trifle too casually. With County Agent L. C. Adams and Veterans Adminis¬ tration Representative John¬ son, Pullen also took films of Bug Gatlin’s corn and truck crops and Jack Shaefer’s pas¬ ture.

The site of the old gymnasium, which burned to the ground several month ago, is being cleared of debris, but where the new building will be located, no one can say at present. The new gymnasium will be fire-proof and a one-story construction, and will include dressing rooms if enough mo¬ ney can be raised to provide for it. The Gym Fund Drive, which was undertaken a few months ago, will be resumed in as much as there is only around $12,000 on hand to be used for that purpose at present. Supt. Moore said that it is definitely known that there will no money forth¬ coming for this purpose through the Minimum Founda¬ tion Program due to the fact that class room needs must be met first. It is urged that all citizens give all support pos¬ sible toward this worthy move¬ ment. MRS. HIRST SUPERVISOR OF WILDWOOD NURSES The appointment of Mrs. Roby W.
