Even Bandsmen Give
Life in Service, Cites
Billy Cochell in Letter
"We navy bandsmen are often
inclined to decry our uneventful
role as ship-board fighters," wrote
Billy Cochell this week to his mo
ther, Mrs. Neva Wells, deputy tax
collector. He enclosed a clipping
telling of the death of the USS
Arizona's entire band of 21 in the
Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.
"This cliping is in no sense a
matter of satisfaction," he wrote.
". . . While our job is considered
by many as an unnecessary impo
sition on the paymaster twice a
month, we take pride in the
knowledge that first and always
our business is especially involv
ed in carrying out our routine as
morale builders. We do whatever
we are asked to do and our chief
regret, as musicians, is the lack of
opportunity to 'fight the ship.' I
knew the Arizona band as a fine
organization of capable and con
scientious musicians. . Along with
this loss were others of our rating
and we feel that we are in a po
sition to be included on the ship's
roster as 'Service-men in this
fight for America."
The clipping said, in part:
The Arizona was destroyed in the
Japanese sneak attack. The Navjfc
issued this statement:
"What becomes of the boys in the
band .when the guns begin to roar?"
"Many a civilian has asked that
question. The most dramatic answer
has been furnished by the incident
of the ship's band of the battleship,
Arizona. On December 7 they went
to their battle stations, one of the
most hazardous on the ship down
below passing ammunition to the
guns above. To a man the Arizona's
band was killed when the battle
ship's magazine exploded."
CARD OF .APPRECIATION
I wish to express my sincere ap
preciation to the Heppner Fire de
partment and to the many kind
friends and neighbors for their as
sistance during the recent fire at
my home.

Victory Home Hints
All home folks in and around
Heppner can join the ranks in the
all out effort to avoid waste.
Already every rag is being saved,
every scrap of paper is being neatly
stacked and tied in bundles to be
picked up by boys and girls.
Farm homemakers are asked about
food and household supplies. Hazel
Duncan, home supervisor of the
Farm Security office, has some sug
gestions. It's butchering season on
the farms. A good cooking com
pound can be made using half lard
and half beef. suet. That combina
tion makes good bread, good deep
fat for frying doughnuts, and good
pastry.
The leaf fat in beef, and the tallow
of mutton can be clarified and made
into soap. You might put in your
diary for next hunting season that
elk and venison tallow make excel
lent laundry soap:
1 can lye, 1 qt. warm water, 2
T borax, 1-2 cup warm water, 6
lbs. grease, 1 cup household am
monia. Dissolve the lye in a quart of warm
water. Dissolve the borax in V2 cup
of warm water. Melt the grease and
into it slowly stir the dissolved lye.
Stir the mixture until it is as thick
as honey then add the dissolved bor
ax and the ammonia. Stir about 5
minutes longer, then pour into a
mold. No cooking is required. When
firm, cut in cakes, using a fine wire
or a piece of string. Use when 4
weeks old. NOTE: Do not use alum
num, as earthenware or enamelware
is best. An iron kettle is good.
For soap from cracklings, try this
one:
To each gallon of cracklings, add
one tablespoon lye. Cover with wa
ter and let cook on the stove for
about two hours. Add a large am
ount of water and let stand. A lay
er of fat will harden on the surface.
The water serves to separate the
fat from the settlings. Remove the
fat and proceed as with any stir
soap. Dissolve one can pure lye in
2V2 pts. cold water in a crock or
a granite vessel. Set aside until it
has cooled to a temperature of 80
degrees. Heat blk lbs. of fat and
set aside until the temperature is
not over 120 degrees. Now slowly
pour the dissolved lye into the
grease. Stir until lye and grease are
thoroughly combined and the mix
ture drips from the stirrer like
strained honey. Stir slowly but not
too long as there is danger that the
lye may separate. From five to fif
teen minutes is enough according tc
the grease and the weather. Pour
into a mold, cover with blanket or
carpet, set in a warm place for a
day or two, empty, and cut up as de-

Marines Make Call
For Electrical Men
The United States Marine corps
needs a large number of officers
with electrical background for duty
in the supervision and maintenance
of radio aircraft warning devices,
allied radio equipment and installa
tions. A call to civilians between 20
and 40 years of age to apply for
commissions in the corps has been
issued by the Commandant Lieu
tenant General Thomas Holcomb.
Candidates for commissions should
sired.
Even ;he town homemaker can
save the bacon drippings, the extra
fat from the roast and make soap.
Soap can be made in a glass pint
measuring cup from as little as one
cup of fat. When we save fat and
make our own soap, we release gly
cerin for use in the high explosives
of warfare. Here is Hazel Duncan's
recipe:
1 cup clarified fat, 2 teaspoons
borax, 2 teaspoons ammonia, 2Vz
tablespoons lye dissolved in 6 T
water.
When the fat is warm, add the lye
dissolved in water, being careful to
stir always and only in one direc
tion, then add the ammonia and bo
rax. Do not stir long after all in
gredients have been edded, but pour
into glass container as soon as the
soap thickens somewhat. Crease in
bars and cut the next day for stor
age. This soap should ripen from
3 to 6 months before using.
