Young Ivy Redford, seven year old Spanaway girl; will never forget her 1945 Thanksgiving day.

Last Thursday afternoon the brave yowtgster, who has been in the hospital ·for nearly a year recovering from painful burns received last December, was given a big surprise when she was showered with flowers, gifts, toys, puzzles and currency. The above photo shows only a portion of the many gifts she received from folks in the &:iuth End.

V-BOND DRIVE LACKS SUPPORT Time Is Running Short In Which to Reach Quota With only a few days remaining in the current Victory Loan drive, Chairman Roy .Peterson appealed to South End citizerns to purchase their share of bonds so the quota could be reached.

Sales have amounted to approximately fifty per cent of the $50,000 quota.

Lack of general public support is given as the reason for lagging sales by Chairman Peterson.

"Only a few people are buying bonds and a majority of the folks seem contented to let that few do all the purchasing. We'll never succeed in reaching our goal unless everyone pitches in and does his share,'' said Mr. Peterson.

Gift Car Event Pierce county's Victory Loan gift car event is holding the center of attraction in the current campaign, which is now in its fifth week, with inquiries pouring into war finance headquarters, 770 Commerce stn;et, by mail and telephone.

All residents of the county who purchase E bonds at booths and most issuing agencies will have an opportunity to participate, said Mrs. Charles Devlin,• director (Continued on page 3)

Bud Ford Returns From Overseas Friends' of the Morris Ford family of Parkland will be happy to learn that Bud Ford, petty officer first class, A.O.M., returned Saturday morning from his second trip overseas. He is on a 30 day furlough after which he will return to Farragut, Idaho, on December 24th, Christmas Eve, to receive his discharge.

"It will be worth it," says Bud, who has been flying with the navy in the South Pacific theater. He participated in the Okinawa campaign and the bombing of J apa11, and won the ai.r medal with a star. Losing everything, including his 'plane, in the typhoon on Okinawa, Bud was sent to Shanghai, China, until he left for home.

He flew to Honolulu and there transferred to the Saratoga for the final stage of his homeward trip.

While in Honolulu, Bud talked by telephone to his sister Alice, who is teaching at Lihue, Kauai.

With tears running down her cht:eks and a chuckle in her throat, game little Ivy Redford, seven-year-old Spanaway girl, accepted the many gifts she received from friends and admirers last Thursday afternoon.

The presents were sent to Ivy at the Pierce County hospital where she has been' a patient for the pasf 300 days, recovering from severe burns she sustained in a fire last December 17.

"Give my thanks to all those fine people; be sure and don't forget," pleaded Ivy, beaming with joy as she viewed the many presents she received on Thanksgiving clay.

It was a great day for Ivy. 011e by one she inspected the gifts.

There were flowers, books, puzzles, games, toys, and currency.

Gets Big Surprise She had need and use for all her presents. Reading the books and working the puzzles will keep her busy as she lies on her hnspital bed recovering from the painful burns. The money she add to her savings account, which now totals $44.84. She plans to add lo the account and some day she will use her savings to pay for her college education.

Tvy was severely burned last December when the dress she was wearing caught fire while she was standing near a hot stove. She was rushed to the hospital where she was giv·en little chance of recovery.

But Ivy wouldn't give up. She bravely fought the battle of life and now looks forward to the time when she can again go to school, play with her friends, help her mother with the chores, and perform other normal duties.

MIDLAND DINNER SET FOR DEC. 6 SERVING WILL BE FRJOM 5 TO 7 :30 O'CLOCK

Anticipating one of their biggest crowds, members of the Midland-Han.ard P. T. A. this week were making final plans for their big benefit dinner on Thursday, December 6.

Serving of the meal will take place in the Midland Improvement Club house and serving time has been scheduled from 5 to 7 :30 p. m.

A floor show, type and style being kept a secret by the program committee, will be used to entertain patrons of the school while they are partaking of the delicious chicken dinner.

Mrs. Beatrice Brittain, president of the P.T.A. stated that "we are making preparations for handling a large crowd. \Ve not only are going to give them good food -and plenty of it-but we have a real surprise floor show booked as an entertainment feature."

School patrons are donating chickens, pies, and other items on the menu to help defray expenses.

A mimeographed letter was sent to the home of each school child asking parents to donate one of the items. needed to put out a good, tasty meal. Response to that plan was very encouraging.,

,, ,, ,,

There haven't been any "welcome home" banners waving across the main streets of Midland, Parkland, Brookdale, or Spanaway tp give a warm reception to our servicemen who are returning to resume their civilian status.

But that doesn't mean that the South End folks are not extending a welcoming hand to our heroes who are coming back to stay in ornr midst.

Speaking for our many hundreds of readers, we bid a warm and hearty welcome to the boys and girls who are coming home one by one from the European and Pacific war theaters.

The Prairie people are mindful of your accomplishments and great achievements: we realize the great sacrifice you made to bring us victory. We promise that we shall never forget your contributions and sacrifices. Your splendid job has be. come an inspiration to us.

In the meantime, we hope you will call on your many friends and admirers for any assistanc~ tbat will speed a normal return to the civilian way of living.

The folks on the home front who stood on the sidelines and watched you score a great triumph under difficult odds, are ready to serve and honor you.

his business or as a condition to his employment. This certificate will entitle the veteran to deal directly with the disposal agency ahead of dealers and all others except federal agencies, state and local governments.

9. Surplus real estate, industrial plants,· shipyards and facilities, and surp !us marine vessels under Maritime Commission control, do not come within the scope of this new regulation. The Surplus Pro]Jerty administrator has pointed out that the disposal of surplus property to veterans still remains a business operation, designed for a broad distribution of government surplus property, and to help maintain a sound business structure. The law does not provide a preference for personal use.

10. The disposal agency may now ship, bill, and collect directly from the veteran.

11. The price to a veteran by any disposal agency will not be greater than the lowest price offered to any trade level.

12. By agreement with the veteran, SWPC may act as his agent in purchasing property.

13. Disposal agencies are authorized to extend credit on purchases by veterans, and by agreement with SvVPC, may delegate to SWPC the function of arranging credit sales and collections.

To date, disposal agencies have not extended credit to a veteran, thus SWPC can be of service in this respect.

It is the desire of the SWPC to aid and assist the· veteran i!l every way possible, as well as the small business man. Therefore, if a veteran feels that he can qualuncle. r these new ru\es and ify regulations, he should contact, the SWPC offices, which in this area are located at: SEATTLE: 4454 Stuart Bldg.

A Will and a Way The story of Ernie Perrault, sparkplug on the Pacific Lutheran Co!iege basketball team, should be an inspiration and a challege to hundreds of boys of the South End. Ernie, whose edu~ation was interrupted thr~e years ago when he left PLC to serve his country on the battlefields, probably could have taken advantage of several fine jobs, positions that paid good salaries and would have provided above-standard living for the PLC star, his wife, and their three-year-old daughter.

But Ernie, who saw plenty of tough spot; while in the army, wasn't looking for any "cinches." All he wanted when he received his dis, charge was a chance to continue his education. That choice meant ·· · · · , tanuly. . · several sacnf1ces !or the likeable Lule cager and 111s It meant that he had to take a job as ja1~itor of Trinity Lutheran Church, Parkland, where he is working after he gets through with his studies and his basketball practice. Then, too, he has to spend some time playing with his cute little daughter.

No, the day isn't very short for Ernie Perrault. He puts in many hours of studying, working, and turning out for athletics. • It is men like Ernie who make America great. You'll be hearing plenty of him during this basketball season, and you'll hear of him in years to come, for Ernie, .who is majoring in physical education, is going to ernjoy great success in the coaching and teaching field.

A fellow with his background, his ability, and his personality can't help but make good.

Former Parklander Stars for Marines Bob McGuire, former Parkland junior high school star who later became a sparkplug for the Lincoln high school eleven, is still making a big name for himself in football circles. Bob, son of Mr. and Mrs. J. D. McGuire of Parkland, is now a member of the U. S. Marines.

We received a clipping from one of the San Francisco dailies in which was printed the following account of the Marine-Nats game: MARINES 20, NATS TIGERS 0 The Leathernecks played their best game of the season as they rolled O\'er the NATS "Tigers" 20-0. Tlie "Tigers" had dropped only. two games during the season both by close scores, and on this basis were figured to win the game and cinch second place in the league stalllliugs. Lt Moran, southpaw Manne passer, ll'as doing a fine job of hitting his receivers, while l\IcGuirc was outstanding in snagging Moran's tosses and also for bis rugged defensive play.

McGuire took one of Moran's portsided pitches in the end zone for the opening score and from there on the Gyrenes were never threat, ened.

QUACK GRASS Quack grass. is one of the most destrnctive ·of all weeds. The roots are .tough and wiry and the 'plant takes possession of the area that . they occupy. The points of the roots are very sharp, sufficiently so to penetrate .potatoes or other roots that may come in their way. Like San<J,da • thistle, quack grass is found in patches. spreading from lateral r o o t growth as well as '.being carried to other parts of the fi~ld by culti.tral 1nac1-d11cry. It h;- a.- --rn~trtb~r of the grass family and rather difficult to identify by its vegetable growth.
