one of the girls -played; another
sang for us and one danced. We
had a very enjoyable evening.

Two of us did go back and before
we left they asked us if we cared
for something to eat. Of course
we said , yes, and I thought they
would never stop.bringing lis food.
We had rice, fish, roast pig, some

Was Freed When U. S.

Capt! John F. Mitchell, whose
mother1, Mrs. Ralph Mitchell,
learned last week that be was
living, after .waiting since early
January for information other
than that he was' missing in ac
tion, was for 3 months a pris
oner of war in Germany. Captur
ed in the battle ; of the Belgian
bulge Dec. 19, 1944, he had never
been listed by the war depart
ment as a prisoner.
How he took bis "personally
conducted tour through the land
of kraut, sponsored by the Ger
man government" is described by
him in a letter to. his mother,
which followed shortly the cabled
first news. With 3 retreating Ger
man armies, he and several hun
dred other prisoners were chased
for 36 hours before a United
States, army tank unit caught up
with them. i
1 i '
The celebration; for the re
leased prisoners which ensued
was "like Christmas and New
Year's together," -Mitchell wrote.
Food while traveling with the
German army Wax poor and
scant, according to Mitchell, who
is now hospitalized in Paris for
fatigue.
Hidden from sight in your car is a
possible Booby Trap that you call m
battery. Like the easy chair, it looks
innocent But Watch Outt It can
cause a lot of grief. That's why Shell
checks it carefully during Shellubri
