r Two Flags Mark Place for Korea Soldiers To Find Aid By SGT. JOHN CLAYTOrT 45th Dir. Combat Correspondent Distributed bj United Press With''45th Infantry Division Korea OJ.K In a narrow draw between two snow-covered Ko rean hills are posted, side by aide in front of a tent, two flags with crosses on them. One is a blue flag with a white cross, the other a white flag with a red cross. To the American infantryman, whose well-being is a day-to-day gamble, they symbolize two of his supports the chaplain and the medics. "Our jobs are almost as much alike as our flags," said Chaplain Walter A. Hargraves of the 180th Infantry Regiment, 45th "Thun derbird" Division. "We both work with soldiers in trouble, they, work on the body, I work on the soul." ' The medics agree with the chaplain in general, but they go him one better. Chaplain Praised "Chaplain Hargraves Is the best aidman in the aid station," said Sfc Gerard Baldwin of Detroit. Sgt. John A. Haslan, another medic from Fremont, Nebr., said the chaplain was always there when they set up forward medi cal stations to give aid-station treatment to wounded during a battle. "He helped us in one way by . cheering the men up while we ' patched them up, gave them plas ma or whatever was necessary before they were transported back to a hospital," Haslan said. "He also helped us a lot with actual treatment in splinting You Still Have Time to PLANT OATS for hay crop this year The Valley needs mere hay! The price will be good!

Hargraves had been studying for the ministry when he went into the Navy during the last war. For two years, he served as a . Navy corpsman seagoing equivalent to the Army s medic. When he returned to civilian life, he started right back to school and received his doctor of divinity degree from Phillips university in Enid, Okla. Called Into Service He took over as minister of the First Christian Church in Wewoka, Okla., but had only been there nine months when he was called into service again with the activated Oklahoma National Guard division. Both on duty and off, the chaplain and the medics are great friends. Hargraves and 1st Lt. Warren Garfield, a medical service corpsman, are both from Wewoka. They are always swapping favors. Several times, when the medics ran short of litter jeeps, they used the chaplain's jeep. When the chaplain needs help on anything, he has a dozen vol unteers from the medics. Still, the medic's greatest ad miration for the chaplain is the way he has of calming down pa tients when the medics are trying to treat them. . Cpl. Bob Tedder of Marion, told how they had a patient one day who had been hit in the throat by shrapnel." The medics asked the patient if it hurt, and the soldier said "Skhoshee," a Japanese word meaning "litle bit," which is in the Far East soldiers' everyday vocabulary. Hargraves pounced on the cue and began kidding him about his use of Japanese: "What'U your mother think when she asks you if you want any butter and you say skhoshee V In a few minutes, despite his pain, the injured soldier was try ing to laugh.

Italy 0J.R) King Farouk of Egypt has commis sioned a ceramic expert to exe cute 12 plates depicting an epi sode when the Egyptian mon arch saved a ?amcl from the slaughter house. Prof. Alfredo Santarelli, one of the oldest ceramic experts here, according to the Italian news-agency ANSA, has been commissioned by Farouk for 12 designed plates picturing his clemency to the camel. ANSA said, this is the incident to be depicted: "Some time ago, at Mairo, there was a poor, decrepit cam el which had to be led to the slaughter house by his owner and while going to his ultimate destiny, pulled at his ropes, not knowing that he was passing be fore the Egyptian Palace. . . He freed himself from the ropes that held him and with a mighty pull of his legs entered the gates of the royal residence. "The owner was not able to recapture him and it happened that the guard was not able to stop the four-legged creature from entering and becoming a guest of the royal household. "Informed of the fact. King Farouk ordered that the camel should not finish his life so miserably (in a slaughter house) and should die a natural death and that when his hour arrived he would have a royal stall."

"I owned hamburger stand in North Hollywood." he said. "But business wasn't too good. It was during the depression. "One day a man asked me if I wanted to be a grip. I got a pair of overalls, a saw and a hammer and reported to the studio at five in morning. My mother took over the hamburger stand. "I did a lot of odd Jobs around the studio. A grip does every thing everybody else doesn't want to do. You have to be a plumber, a carpenter and an electrician. I worked there two years."

Four years ago, Callahan lost his sight. After a month in a hospital he returned to his of fice. "It is a godsend that I chose the profession I did." he said.

Lroie. never had to wor ry about is having a lack of matches around the house. John L. and Louise likely are the world champion col lectors of match pads and boxes. They have more than 300,000 books of matches in their collection. All will give you a light Most collectors pluck the matches from the paper books before they put them in the collections, but not the Andrews. They can hardly get into their apartment near Boiling Air Force base because of the match boxes. Andrews is a former top-kick with the Air Force and now is property clerk of air installa tions at Boiling. Interested 25 Years Ago About 25 years ago, he be came interested in collecting match boxes. You should see his bureau drawers. Nothing but match boxes. The collection is spilled over into the basement of the apartment and into cabi nets, and what not, but every thing is catalogued. Andrews has done some re-1 search and read some books and : has concluded that at least ' 2,000,000 people collect match , books. ! He and his wife finally con cluded that if big folks liked collecting match books, maybe kids would, too. So they branch ed out" into boys club work. They started working with The idea caught on, and as a result today 38 other commu nities in the United States have kids collecting match pads. And the adult leaders teach the kids not to set barns and houses afire. "It gives the kids something to study," Andy said. "They get a picture of various places by the pictures on the pads. They learn something about geography." Summer European Tour Planned by Professor Corvallis A 76-day summer tour of Italy, France, Switzer land, Austria, Germany, Bel gium, Holland and England is being organized here by Dr. f-Idouard Bourbousson, associate professor of modern languages at Oregon State college.

But it's just as true today as ever before that some price tags are lower than others, and some cars cost less to own than others. So let's see how a Buick Special fits into the picture. Take first cost. If you put the price tag of this Buick against price tags of cars that have always been tagged as belong ing in "the low-priced field" youH find that, in actual dollars, a Buick's surpris ingly close to these cars of lesser size and horsepower. But that's just the beginning. What you're getting here is Buick quality this Special comes down the same assembly line as Supers and ROADMASTERS. Its heft tells you it has extra sturdiness in frame and structure. ' Its Fireball Engine delivers extra power. It is an eight, a valve-in-head, with high compression, and the miles you can get from a gallon of gas make it a thrifty performer. You get Buick's Million Dollar Ride, which protects you and the car from jars and jolts. Even the tires are bigger which, any tire man will tell you, lengthens their wear. And if you pay a bit extra for Dynaflow Drive you're easing the strain on the engine, the rear end, the tires and eliminating clutch repair bills. So when we talk about "mileage for your money" we're talking about the miles youll get from your car includ ing the unused miles that are what you have to sell when you trade it in. Maybe that's why Buick's doing so well in the present market. Why not come in and see what a great car this is for you? Equipment. aceeeeorim, trim and model art oubjeet to cfcangpit f notice.
