Joe Ward The war department's trust ing belief that Its famed pocket guides based on the old law, "When In Rome, do as the Ro mans do," would assuro the so cial success of American sol diers who adopted nutlve cus toms In Africa, Chlnu, England, and other countries has .boom eranged in amazing fashion. Now comes "A Short Guide to tho United States" designed to help veteran of African and other campaigns adapt them selves to the (luaiut way of homo folks when they invade America again. Extracts from a new booklet are enclosed from Sergeant Joe Ward who is with an engineers outfit in the Afri can theatre of war. Sergeant Ward doesn't know the source of tho clippings except that it goes somewhat llko this: "Americans usually open a conversation with strungcrs by asking, 'Well, what's new?' Whatever you do, don't reply by saying 'Allez.' Tho only cor rect way to answer i 'Well, what's new with you?" And when you meet some one you know, you Just merely auy, Well, 11 be d If it oln't Bill. Where In h you been keeping yourself?' And whatever you do,, don't kiss Dill on the cheek." Confusing System American monetary astem la rather confusing. Regardless of their denomination, 9, 10 and 20 dollar bills are the same size, A nickel (worth only 2't franca) is almost twlco as large as a dime (worth five francs). Two dollar bills are tnboo and the natives are extremely su perstitious about them. In some parts of the United States, eggs in powdered form are unobtainable and you will have no other choice than to cat them directly from the shell. However, It is advisoble to boil them first. In the rural districts It is alao difficult to get dried vegetables owing to a lack of dehydrating equipment. You may be shock ed to see beets, turnips, cab bage, and potatoes displayed in the market places in their nat Patton Leads Surf Against Nazi Tanks LONDON, July 14 (Ft Lieut Gen. George S. Patton Jr., com mandcr of the U. S. seventh army invading Sicily, leaped in to the surf from a landing barge and waded ashore to take per sonal command of bitter fighting against German tank units op posing the landing, MocI Monks, Daily Mall correspondent aboard a destroyer, reported. At "General Patton's Amerl. can bridgehead at Gela," ha wrote, ... I was told the story of Fottons great personal cour age and the magnificent fighting qunllty of his troops. "When the Americans landed at Gela they found the town In control of two German tank real ments. During the next 24 hours the fiercest fighting of the whole allied invasion took place. Twice the Germans were driven from the town and twice the Amerl cans were forced right back on to tho beaches. "At this stage General Pntton leaped into the surf from a land' ing bnrgc and waded ashore to take over personal command. "Step by step tho Germans were driven back from the beaches as wave after wave of XTo rtllns distress of MONTHLY "V Female Weakness Lydla I.

Tho natives seem to thrive on these and in places you can see people drinking stuff called Coca Cola, orange crush and many other kinds of drinks which aro too many to mention. Also several kinds of candy burs if you have the ready cash to pay for them. "Binge" Same In many respects, American natives are no different than people any where and what they cull a "Saturduy night binge is no different than what happens when you Icon up against a bar and drink a lot of vin rouge. In churches, auditor iums and other public places, you will see women slipping their foot out of their shoes and wriggling their toes. This has no religious significance. Do not, however, attempt to Imi tate them. Always be courteous and tact ful. Listen patiently when vet erans of tho first World war ! bore you with stories of how much tougher things were in their fight. Remember, thoy had to listen to the SpnnisliAmcrl con war veterans, who, in their turn, listened to the Civil war veterans, etc. Plastic Surgery Likewise, when you notice native women with their extra chins removed by plustic surg ery, don't congratulate them. This operation la known as "Losing Face" and the natives are very sensitive about this. Always remember the Amerl cons are really very friendly people, despite the ferocity of their handshakes, and violent back-slapping. Also their civil ization is much younger than that of Europe and Asia. They ore overgrown children at heart and should be treated as such. In fact, any woman un der 35 may be safely addressed as "Baby." And when you do all of this, Buddy, you will know you are home again. Men Through Americans landed from the troopships. ... By sunset Sun day the bridgehead was well es tablished and the Americans had pushed the Germans back to a few miles beyond town.

Remember the old question, "which was first, tho hen or the eeg?" Well, for July 1943, it's tho hen first the little bantam hen that enters the Popularity contest and wins the prizo with the backing of her Bond buying friends. You will hear about the "egg" Inter, when the heroic crew of the "Klamath Pelican" whips up a Tokyo omelette in Tojo's kit chen. And don't be too sure that it won't be done with the "cgs" we buy for the bomber this month could be. It would be most interesting to know the individual plans for spending the money from the Bonds when we have peace again, but not half as interesting as the thoughts of the boy who places a bomb on the exact spot where it will do the most good, and knows that he will have an other one to drop on the next likely place. We all know what it means, not to have proper and sufficient tools with which to do a Job well. How dissatisfied we are with the results, when we know that we might have done it bet ter with better equipment. If we buy all the Bonds we can, we know the boys in the air will do the rest, they have promised Uncle Sam they will, and it would be a glorious thing, both Recapped Tires No oi No mCOi for them and for us, to have Klamath county swing into line 100 with the only thing we can give them now our co operation in the work they have to do. The busy little bantams that enter the Popularity contest will bn helping in a big way to brim; our Bond sales for July to your attention. Watch the News Hcrald for their names and then place your Bonds on your fav orite. The Business and Professional Women's club and the Soropli mist club are organizing the Bond sales drive, but we need the Bond buying power of every one in Klamath county to put it over. Make your pledge to the Flag with a Bond for a Bomb.
