She became more calm when the driver opened the back end of the farebox and rescued the precious token for her. Much has been written cerning the care and feeding of lawns and gardens in wartime. Now what seems to be needed is an essay on wartime hedges, with no hedge shears on the market and a wet summer.

Forward looking neighbors and friends who purchased their hedge shears before war have helped to keep the Robertson hedges down somewhat this summer, but the view is becoming rapidly more obstructed. A Jackson store, holding a sale the other day, made the mistake of stacking the toilet tissue and Kleenex near the glassware, counter. smoke of battle cleared, there wasn't an unbroken glass in the house.

State St. Phone 3-1975 Navy Mothers Club Welcomes New Member At Meeting By Helen Henne war From the Reveille, Camp Shelby publication, is the story of a Mississippian returned home from combat in th Pacific. Capt. Richard C.

Bradley, whose mother lives in Columbia, told of his experiences at Camp Shelby er last week while he was being processed for a 30 day furlough. Capt. Bradley navigated the first transport, plane on to Iwo drop, and parapaks the first to land on Guam and Peleliu. Recalling his firsts, the captain said the Iwo drop was a lot tougher than either of the landings. thing that saved us at Iwo is they thought we were going to land, so they shot up the runway.

We weren't to land anyway, so playing was nothing to Guam," the airman grinned. "'They had pushed the a thousand yards from runway, but there were about 30,000 dead ones right at the edge of the strip. They'd been dead several days, so I got away from them as soon as I could." The Peleliu deal was nothing soft for the navigator. When his plane loaded with highly inflammable hydrogen came in, shells were whining over the landing strip. "We had to circle for a long time," he remembers, "and finally came in under the barrage at about 50 feet.

We were so low we had to dodge boats in the harbor." On the island, Capt. Bradley spent the night under an umbrella of shells the big gun duel continued. "They were firing the Mississippian said. "We'd hear them fire. We'd hear them whine over the field.

Then we'd hear them hit. We had to guard the plane ourselves that night to." At Saipan, the captain was not in the transport to hit the bomb-packed runway, but was 1 in the first, squadron. "Boy! that was said, as he told of the one poor runway that had so many shell holes in the middle pilots had to use one end or the other -never the whole strip. The transport navigator who flew with the Seventh Air Force in the Pacific about 17 months saw a variety of material kicked out of the door of his ship. One of the best came on plus 11 at Iwo Jima when they threw mail off his plane for the hard pressed Marines fighting below.

In the eleven previous days of fighting the drops had usually been ammunition, blood and "stuff like that." On one mission the captain's plane dropped bombs. That was when he answered an emergency call from a bomb group for a navigator and rode over Iwo Jima in a B-24. "I thought I was going to to see the island," he said. "There was some trouble with the bomb so took off my parachute doors, stuff 1, and went back to get them open. I decided I'd just stay there on the catwall and see the island through the bomb bay doors, but the bombardier closed them up just before it came into view.

that was months before the invasion of Iwo and the drops that brought it under navigator's ship plenty of times." Capt. Bradley, who has now completed two overseas tours of duty, was anxious to see son, Ricky, almost a year old, whom he has never seen. His wife is the former Mary Elizabeth Zimmerman of Shreveport, La. James Purser Cowan, seaman class, son second. and Mrs.

T. C. Cowan, McDowell Road. Jackson, is now serving in the South Pacific. Cowan received his "boot" training at Great Lakes, before going to Shoemaker, California where he was stationed for some time before leaving the states for overseas duty.
