Visit at Poynter Home One of the very Important functions of the American Red Cross Is the direct communication It affords between the fighting man and his people back home. Here Red Cross Field Director John L. Barnes (left), of White Plains, N. Y., gives a message to Sgt. William J. McDonald, Jr., of Mamaroneck, N. Y. Picture was made In Sicily outside a straw Italian hutch with the rear headquarters of the 1st Division near Mt. Etna. On Maseru Island, up in the Per sian Gulf, where there is not a single tree standing and the wind blows across the island ceaselessly, Red Cross field men brought fishing tackle, books and writing paper to service men. Most welcome gift from the Red Cross was clippers for hair cutting—the boys had been without a barber tor months. in Persia, a Red Cross Field Di rector was able to locate a soldier's mother whom be hadn’t seen tor 25 years. In Africa, Red Cross field men flew in Army planes, bitch-hiked in supply trucks, bumped In jeeps over bombed convoy routes, through blinding sand storms and glaring sun to help men with personal problems and emergency commu nications, and to deliver magazines and books, cigarettes and chocolate to Isolated posts and bases. In Italy, Red Cross field men he- companled the troops tn on the in vasion barges. In India, a sergeant was sen tenced to the guard house for dis orderly conduct. His officer couldn’t understand the boy's behaviour. He was a nice kid—he'd never gone to pieces before. The officer asked the Red Cross Field Director to see him. The Red Cross man discovered a very wor ried boy. His wife had not been re ceiving his allotments, she wasn’t well and needed an operation. She thought the soldier must have can celled his allotments and a misun derstanding had arisen between them so that she was no longer writing him. The field man got In touch with the Red Cross chapter in the boy's Leatha Tousley and her sist er and brother-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. U. G. Blaton and family and also Glen Pierce, who is a MORE FOOD nephew of Mr. Blaton and who is with the navy at Atlanta, Ga., GOES ABROAD Although 1944 food production visited at the 0. S. Poynter home in the United States is expected last Sunday. to be greater than in 1943, mil Correction itary and Lend-Lease require It was mentioned last week ments in 1944 also will be great that Rev.

Rev. Backer will close his services on February 27. KEEP ON........... home town immediately. It took care of her, financed her operation and saw that she bad adequate funds to provide for herself until the allotment again came through. When the Red Cross man ex plained what had happened to the soldier's Commanding Officer, the latter promptly released the boy from the guard house. From then on the boy was all right. His wor ries were over, and the Army had gained a good fighting man. All over the world, tn every the atre of war and active battle front go the American Red Cross field men—helping soldiers with major and minor personal problems, bring ing them recreational Items such as magazines, books, comfort articles, athletic equipment and re-establish ing their contact with home. These men share the conditions and haz ards under which the soldiers fight. They also share their lives. They are on call day and night whenever they are needed. G.I.'s overseas have many prob lems. Often home seems very, very far away. With the Red Cross there at hand wherever he may be. the soldier knows he can always get in touch with home — that he need never feel alone with problems be doesn't know how to solve himself. More than 3,000,000 service men passed through Red Cross field men's offices last year. On the mud clogged roads of Italy, through the far Jungles of New Guinea, on lonely desert posts. Red Cross field men take your place beside your boy. In order to con tinue this service, the Red Cross urgently needs contributions from the American people to its $200,- 000,000 War Fund drive this month. CHINA GIVES DOUBLE AID TO MISSIONS To the funds coming to China for mission work, the Chinese government, which has been sup plementing these funds with a 50 per cent contribution, now plans to give a 100 per cent supple ment. The outbreak of the Euro pean war severed many mission aries from the source of their funds from home. Farmers Urged To Try Winter Peas Austrian winter peas, which are high in protein, can be- grown by Columbia county farmers for sup plying protein for their dairy cows, states Geo. E. Nelson, Co. agent. Protein is very scarce for dairy feeds, and, since Austrian winter peas grow well in Colum bia county, they could be used as a substitute for supplying protein. Recent tests in the dairy de partment at the experiment sta tion have shown that Austrian winter peas can be used to re place soybean meal, that they are palatable- to dairy cows, and can be used to advantage in the feed ration. A bulletin has been published on the feeding of Austraian peas for dairy cattle by the experiment station. A copy of this bulletin may be obtained from the county agent’s office states Mr. Nelson. Austrian winter peas may be planted in the fall and also dur ing the .rnid^gvnter months to ad vantage. February is a good time for planting them. They can also be planted in March and April when it is not possible to put in an earlier planting. They should be planted at the rate of about eighty pounds per acre with about eighty pounds of gray winter oats for the mid-winter and early spring seedings while spring oats should be used if the crop was planted quite late.
