JOHNNIE SAVED SHIP FROM DEADLY TORPEDO—To the government of the Unit-
ed States, Johnnie David Hutchins, Lissie, Tex., was a seaman so valorous he was worthy
of the nation's highest military decoration—the Congressional Medal of Honor. On Sept.
4, 1943, he died in the assault on Lae, New Guinea. Although mortally wounded by en-
emy ho mb action upon his ship he grabbed the wheel of the LST and steered it clear
of an enemy torpedo. The citation goes abend to tell how Hutchins eventually died,
clinging to the helm and concerned only for the safety of the vessel. Shown in the
above picture is Johnnie’s mother and father together with his brothers and sisters just
before the evening meal. From left to right are: J. M. Hutchins; Mrs. J. M. Hutchins;

Of Food Shortage As

The final chance to get gauges

official for Brownwood and Abi-
lene. will be Friday morning in the
basement of the First Presbyterian
Church. Mias Mayesie Malone,
county home demonstration agent,
announced today.
Miss Ms Ion? said attendance
at the food preservation sessions
for town people held here this
week with Mrs. Payne has been
"disappointing." Few have had
their pressure cooker guages
checked, sho said.
Miss Malone and Mrs. Payne
warned that pressure guages out
of order may reshlt in cooker*
exploding, or may cause the lots
of food prepared for canning with
defective cookers.
With the canning season noar,
now is the time to have guages
checked. Mrs. Payne added that
replacement parts are available
now If ordered early, but these
parts are scares and will not be
available later, since the produc-
tion is extremely limited.
Miss Malone is gravely concern-
ed over leek of interest in food
production and preservation in
Brownwood and Brawn county.

on grocers' shelves later this year
will be only a fraction of what It
was last year, and said some are
