EX-MARINE TO ADOPT
OKINAWAN ORPHAN
A disabled ex-Marine will leave
for Okinawa this month to ful
fill his wartime promise to adopt
an Okinawan orphan, according
to the New York News.
A strange story of how the
former Marine has saved and
planned for two years to adopt
the Okinawan was disclosed by
Mary Rizzotto. founder and
president of the World Chil
dren’s Foundation, Inc. She has
helped Joseph Tem
mallo achieve his goal.
In May, 1945. Temmallo and
another Marine captured a hun
gry, small boy crawling from a
cave in Naha, Okinawa’s capital.
Temmallo gave him some “C”
rations and asked about his par
ents. The boy, Tsuha Hinkio, 13,
said he’d found his father dead
by the roadside and seen his

mother machine-gunned by an

Feeling a personal responsi
bility. the Marines took the boy
in with them. “We felt like
heels,” Temmallo explained.
In January, 1945. Sgt. Joseph
Rice, in whose tent Tsuha was
living, got his transfer back to
the States. Temmallo took over
the foster parenthood, with the
permission of the company com
mander, and began teaching the
boy English. They went to Amer
ican movies together, visited the
post library, played basketball
and baseball.
When it was Temmallo’s turn
to return home, ne wasn’t al
lowed to take Tsuha with him.
But he promised the Okinawan
boy that he would be back in
I two years—three at the latest —
| and legally adopt him.
I Temmallo rejoined his family
i in Cambridge, Mass., and for al
most two years has been working
the graveyard shift as a post of
fice clerk, saving his money so
that he would fulfill his prom
ise to Tsuha. Through the World
Children’s Foundation, he found
that under Massachusetts law
he could legally adopt a boy over
14 and he has SSOO cash ready to
i post as Tsuha’s entry bond,
i In the two years of separation
: Temmallo and Tsuha have cor
responded regularly and the ex-
Marine faithfuljy sends Tsuha
| clothes, stationary, and English
; Japanese books.
“He’s in the third year at the
Koza Orphanage high school,”
Temmallo said. “He studies Eng
j lish and writes pretty nice let
! ters. I’m somewhat surprised by
j the remarkable progress he has
I shown.”
Best of all, Temmallo has just
arranged to take a year’s civilian
I job with the War Department at
Okinawa. Thus, he can be close
|to Tsuha and work out the red
jtape of adoption with the help
iof the adjutant-geiieral’s office
| there.

Barefoot Boys Are Cautioned
Against Killing Song; Birds
t Those people who say song
birds aren’t good for anything
are in for a surprise, according
to Frank W. Fitch, Jr., wildlife
specialist of the Extension Serv- !
ice.
As many as 66 different birds j
: feed on cotton insects, he point- 1
ed out. Fifty-seven kinds of birds j
feed on the May beetle and 128 j
birds feed on wireworms.
At this time of the year when
barefoot boys go afield armed !
with slingshots, air rifles and .22 ■
rifles in search of “big game,”
they should be careful to pick
targets that aren’t so valuable.
These “big game” hunters j
should leave the slow-moving j
non-game birds, which are often |
; their victims, to destroy harmful
insects.
I Georgia’s annual 22 million
dollar income from fruit and nut
j crops could be increased by
i proper care, according to George
H. Firor, Horticulturist for the
| Agricultural Extension Service.
! He suggested the following jobs
be done in orchards during the
next few weeks:
Pecans should be sprayed with ,
nicotine sulphate using six and i
one-half ounces to 100 gallons of j
water or spray material for con- !
trol of black aphids. These in
sects cause leaves to fall too ear- j
ly and prevent nuts from filling
out.
Peaches that have fallen
should be picked up and destroy
ed to prevent spread of worms. ;
I Soil under branches of trees 1
should be cultivated frequently
during the spring and summer
months to destroy insects in the
; soil. A sulphur spray or dusting
sulphur should be applied to I
peaches to control brown rot.
Roots of young fig trees should
be protected from wind and sun-*
shine. Shading soil with com- j
post, straw or leaves wall con
serve moisture and prevent high
soii temperatures which are
harmful.
Strawberry plants should be
thinned as soon as picking is |
McWhorter-Selman Chevrolet Co. Inc.,
over to provide space for new
plants to grow. Weeds and grass
should be removed and leaves
raked off. After thinning, a high
grade fertilizer should be applied
in middles.
Blueberries snould be heavily
mulched.
Shoots which are to form the
main stem and four arms of
newly - set muscadine vines
should be selected and all other
removed. Additional plant food
should be applied if plants are
not vigorous and vines should
be well-cultivated.
Fruits and nuts produce about
8 per cent of Georgia’s income,
Mr. Firor said. Peaches and pe
cans lead in cash returns.
SAVE FATS
Even though the war-born
shortage of soap has begun lift
ing, this is not the time to aban
don the vital job or saving used
|kitchen. fats. There is still a
! shortage of fats and oils and
saving and turning in used fats
is an important kitchen job.

FIRE PROTECTION
NEWS
By GEORGE BISHOP
County Ranger
During the month of May, m
which under normal conditions
very few woods fires are set, 16
fires burned a total of 330 acres.
Most of this burned during the
extremely dry weather just pre
ceding the rain on May 27.
In the five months that we
have had fire protection, we
have fought 87 fires that burned
1,793 acres, which is 1.6 per cent
of the total forest acreage in the
county.
If the 87 fires had not been
controlled, they could have burn
ed an estimated minimum of 12,-
000 acres, or a little over 10 per
cent of the total forest acreage.
Also, these 87 fires killed young
growth, that is, seedlings that
would have replaced the present
stand of timber, estimated at $4 -
700. If these fires had not been
stopped, they could have killed
young growth estimated at over
$28,000. This does not include
damage done to merchantable
timber.
