C. 0. IN FRANCE
With the 7th Army, France
The new commander of the regi
ment looked tired and hollow
eyed, but It wasn't difficult to
discern the pleasure that was his
at the action of his "Cotton Bal
er" troops in chasing the Krauts :

southern France.
The new C. O., Colonel Ben
Harrell of 870 Eleventh avenue

command of the 3rd "Marne" di

Immediately after leaving "the
rock," Colonel Harrell was as
signed to Ft. Warren In Chey
enne, Wyo., where he saw serv
ice for about three years with
the 1st infantry. From there he
went to the Hawaiian Islands'
Schofield barrack for 2'S years
with the 35th Infantry, for ex
ecutive work.
Back In the states, the colonel
attended the Ft. Bennlng Infan
try school and then had his first
association with the 7th Infantry
in 1040, where he was in charge
of plans and operations for a
year and another year headed
the regiment's supply set-up.
When the colonel made the
landing with the division at Fe-
dala In November of 1942, he
was in division headquarters as
chief of plans and operations. He

Park Fire Season
Ends Month Early;
Damage is Nominal
The fire season at Crater Lake
ended on October 15, nearly
a month later than usual. The
thunder and lightning storms
that have been noticeable in the
valley region also were- experi
enced in Crater Lake National
Park. However, there were no
lightning strikes or fires started
from the recent storms.
During the season, there were
a total of 13 fires In the park,
which were handled by the
small staff of seasonal rangers
and fire guards. This compares
with seven the previous year,
although from 12 to 15 is about
the average number of fires that
Crater Lake experiences each
season.
None of the 13 fires of the
past season were man caused
all were from lightning. They
were promptly extinguished
and'the damage done was nom
inal. One heavy electric storm
In July brought such a deluge
of rain that the rim road and
the entrance road were severely
damaged by erosion. The cost
of repair Is estimated to be ap
proximately $5,000.

COnOlCTOTlG
IS
Warning that the domestic
situation on cotton is getting
"tighter" and that the outlook
for greater supplies for home
use will probably not be bright
er for many months, the Port
land district office of OPA
urges housewives to conserve
any cotton material or clothing
now on hand.
"The outlook for cotton for
domestic use is slim for a year
or two after Germany is defeat
ed," OPA states, "because as the
war moves into the Pacific more
cotton will be required for basic
military needs, whereas wool
has been more heavily used in
Europe.
"Denims and cotton duck ma
terials will continue to absorb
much of the cotton which other
wise would go into clothing for
civilians."

nounced today.
