IT WAS gratifying to find out
this week that the fiaai and of-
ficial figures on the 7th War
Loan Drive gave Burleson Coun-
ty credit for M2.382.50 more
Series E IXtnds than the quota
called for. I still am of the opin
ion that the E bond quota for
this county in the Seventh Drive
waa far too high. I said so st
the time the quota was first set.
I wrote Nathan Adams, State
Chairman, to that effect. He
wrote back that the quota was
in line and that we should do
the beet We could toward raising
it. Well, we sold more than en-
ough but it was a struggle and
everyone bed to strain and buy
more tn¿ more to do it. Some
counties went almost double
their E bond quotas and I don't
believe they had to dig half as
far as we did to get ours. The
quotas are unequal and should
be revised. I .note that Hill coun-
ty's quots in E bonds was ISM,-
•00. That is only $15,MO more
than ours wss, yet Hill county
had a 1940 population of S8.S&5,
while Burleson county hod a
papulation of only 18,884. About
5.000 of this 18,000 have moved
to induetrial areas, yet our E
bond quotas are continuously
raised. We had a hsrd time in
soiling enough bonds to go well
over our quota while Hill county
had an easy time selling $487,-
000 worth of E's, or 8187,000
more than wss their quota. Now,
there are comparative figures in
other counties that will bring out
the same facts. The B bend quo-
ta bore is too high and must-be
revised for the not drive which
Is scheduled to come off some-
time in November. I intend to
nake s trip to Dsllss to tslk
with Mr. Adsms about our quota
if that becomes necessary.

I AM also glad to roc that, as
shown by an article appearing in
this newspaper today and signed
by Rev. Darwin AndruV, that thorp
is someone i ltc in ( nldwoll be-

FROM MRS. Doug, Coleman
comes a noto enclosing sumo poems
that Sgt. Doug, wrote while held
prisoner of war in Germany. Here
are the poems:
MEMORIAL TO ROYS OF CO.E
Killed at Snlorno, Italy
My thoughts live always with my
Ruddy, dead . . .
No pravo, but a shallow fox-hole
his last bed;
He (javo his life-blood there upon
the sand.
Gave of it gladly for he was all
man
Ho now lies buried 'neath torn
Italy's soil.
His soul, at peace, has ceased its
endless toil
On lonjr, hard trails he's missing
from my side . . .
Missing there but in my memory
will abide
A hero always, dead, but living
still . . .
A sacred memory time will nev-
er kill."

TilF, FOLLOWING are two po-
ems written for each Christmas
Dong, was «way and in prison
camp:
CHRISTMAS EVE 1043
"'Tis the night liefore Christmas
Ami in the billet tonight
Not. a GI is silent, not one little
mite;
The building is ringing with song
and good cheer,
And thougts of loved-onos ever
held dear."
CHRISTMAS 1044
"This Christmas we're in a Stnlag
Camp
The weather is foggy and cold
and damp;
*But the spirit of Christmas is in
the air
Leaving no room for thoughts
of despair.
Our thoughts are of loved-ones far
M away
And we're dreaming of home
and that red-letter day
When Jerry no longer will be a foo
And we all go back to our homoa
once more."

National Farm-Safety Week, 1945
By the President of the United States of America
A PROCLAMATION
WHEREAS the Nation recognises that the skill and labor
of its farmers is a vital factor in winning the war, and the pro-
duction of food one of the most essential means of winning the
peace; and
WHEREAS the inevitable decrease in available farm laboi
this year creates an especially urgent need for conserving farm
manpower to meet production goals in 1946; and
WHEREAS the accidents which cause some fourteen hun-
dred farm residents to lose their lives each month, and one
hundred and twenty-five thousand others to suffer injuries, con-
stitute an unnecessary waste of human life as well as of time
and material:
NOW, THEREFORE, I, HARRY S. TRUMAN, President
of the United States of America, do hereby call' upon the Nation
to observe the week commencing July 22, 1945, as National
Farm Safety Week. And I request all persons and organizations
concerned with agriculture and farm life to do everything in
their power to educate farm people in the proper precautions by
which they may eliminate farm hazards, and to stimulate a Na-
tion-wide determination to stop the needless waste of irreplace-
able farm manpower and property. And I further urge that farm
people everywhere observe National Farm Safety Week by mak-
ing a safety check in their homes and on their farms.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand
and caused the sea}' of the United States of America to be
affixed.
DONE at the City of Washington this 9th day of May, :
the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and forty-five, and of
the Independence of the United States of America the one hun-

Pfc. Gerald Luedke
Is "Hot Operator" In
Philippines fighting
With the Ameriapp Infantry Di
vision in the Philippines—During
the battle for the Cebu foothills,
Pfc. Gerald Luedke of Prenham a
formerly of Caldwell, Rt. 1, proved
himself to be a "hot operator.
Luedke lived near Caldwell until
about eight years ago and has two
brothers, Herman and Alfred, and
one sister, Mrs. Lillie Benn, all now
residing in Burleson county.
When a group of Japanese fir-
ing machine guns and rifles from
a series of pillboxes threatened to
halt the advance of his company,
Luedke voluntarily offered to take
a flame-thrower and burn out the
positions.
With the heavy equipment
strapped on his back, he crawled
forward under the cover of heavy
rifle fire to the first pillbox. A
squirt of flame and the pillbox was
out of action. But not so the others.
The Japs, realizing Luedke and
his "fire-stick" was the most dan-
gerous threat to them, concentrat-
ed their fire on him.
In the face of the angry barrage,
the Rrenham s. Idler slid back down
the ridge behind cover. He rested
there only lonjr enough to catch
his breath, then strapped on a new
flame-thrower unit and again
crawled forward.
Advancing against an increasing
wave of fire, he rapi'My cut a burn-
ing swath through the Japanese
positions. A few minutes of burn-
ing and the infantrymen were able
to dash forward and secure the
positions.
Still not satisfied with having
done a day's work, Luedke went
forward and burned at other sec-
tions liefore he called it a day.
