Remains of Two
Mason War-dead
Coming Home
NexL of kin of two World War
II deceased soldiers whose remains
arrived in New York on Novem-
ber 26 aboard the USAT "Robert
F. Burns" are being returned to
Shelton for final interment, are
advised by Lt. Colonel Vernon L.
Lewis, Chief of the American
Graves Registration Service at
Auburn, Washington, that there
will be an operational period of
from one to three weeks before
Lhey will be militarily escorted
home, individually, by a service
man of equal or higher rank and
of the same branch of service.
"A minimum period of seven
days is necessary," Lewis stated,
"to permit a proper inspection of
shipping cases and caskets, to de-
termine the transportation rout-
ing, and to select the military es-
corts who will accompany each
deceased serviceman to the place
his next of kin has desigfiated.
"OUT OF consideration for :he
relatives of these soldiers, no de-
ceased serviceman will be escorted
to Shelton during Lhe Christmas
holiday weeks," Lewis continued.
"If next of kin specifically re-
quest to have the remains of their
loved one returned during this
period, however, we will abide by
their wishes. The Army will make
every effort to escort these serv-
icemen to their homes prior to
December 20."
Following are the names, to-
gether with the rank, branch of
service, and their next of kin, of
the two ShelLon soldiers who ar-
rived aboard the "Robert F.
Burns," together with approxi-
n)s.tly 450t) other servicemen who
had been tntrred in the Henri
Chapelle Military Cemetery, at
Eupen, Belgium and the cemetery
at St. Laurent-sur:Mer, near Bay-
eux. France: " '

in acordance with the wishes of
their next of kin, 43 were re-
turned via Auburn. Washington,
for final interment in private cem-
eteries in the Pacific Northwest.
"From here," Lt. Colonel Lewis
concluded, "each will be militarily
escorted by a serviceman of equal
or higher rank to 15 different cit-
ies and town in Washington, 12
in Oregon, and 3 in northern Ida-
ho, 72 hours before Lhe remains
of these honored dead are escorted
home we will telegraph their next
of kin of the time of arrival of
their loved one."

Money.Back Guarantee
ors throngh the Agricultural Con-
servation program to help carry
out conservation practices is an
investment in food production. It
means more abundant production
--now and in the years to come.
The program is a check against
muddy streams and dust-filled
skies which mean just that much
less food. Bread, eggs, meat, veg-
etables, milk and fruit are the real
loss when soil goes down the river.
But who pays for the loss? Ac-
cording to Bert Rau, chairman of
t h e Agricultural Conservation
Association, the consumer pays.
Lost soil means lower yields. Low-
er yields mean less food on the
grocery shelves. That leads to
higher prices to the consumers. In
the end the consumer pays, as in
China, with a lower standard of
living.
The Agricultural Conservation
program gives assistance to farm-
ers as a direct method of getting
the conservation job done. It pro-
vides the means for consumers to
cooperate with farmers for abund-
ance. The alternative is neglect
of the soil witl resulting higher
costs later.
