a PRR IA SRY, g ; >» Hero Didn't Hear ¥ | - Order To Retreat Remained At His Post: Knocked Out 20 Germans David Woody, Mem- Sergeant 4 4 phis' veteran soldier, in telling ot i how he knocked out "wave after wave" of German infantrymen in the Tunisian campaign, said the i exploit resulted from his failure to | hear an order to retreat. Wearer of the Silver Star for his ¢ heroic job, Sergeant Woody said his officer credited him with kill ¥ ing at least 200 Germans during + two hours of fighting near Medjez : el Bab. The War Department cited him for firing "with such accuracy that he knocked out two enemy mortars and inflicted severe cas- ualties upon wave after wave of enemy infantrymen attacking his position," Looked Like Thousands The Sergeant explained his achievement by saying simply that his machine gun, protected by sev: eral riflemen, was covering a ridge over which the Germans charged. "I couldn't count them but it looked like thousands to me," he said. Eevery time they showed up over the ridge 1 let them have it." Sergeant Woody said that when his outfit was ready to retreat "they sent word up, but apparently in the noise of firing 1 never heard it. They all went away and I was alone on that hill." Remaining at the post until both machine-gun and rifle am- munition * was exhausted, he ducked from one slit trench to an- other -and made his escape be- cause the Germans "did some aw- ful poor shooting." = He said he fired 1,500 rounds of machine-gun ammunition and 120 rounds of rifle bullets. - BARE FACTS Pa a Ta a Arm of the law escorts 3-year- old Bobby Northrup back to his Cedar Rapids home after the young gent wandered downtown clad as above. oi Canada Takes Care | Of Her Veterans In the midst of breath-taking expenditures which are necessary to fight the war, few will realize that Canada is spending nearly a million dollars a week to meet pensions and similar obligations to war weterans and their famil- jes.

In disposing of a case of child delinquency the other day a Cleveland magistrate said: "I have encountered very few de- linquent children, but I have come in' contact with a lot of delinquent parents." Every magistrates court has had this experience, says The St. Thomas Times-Journal, When a child is brought in as a "delin- quent," he or she has to be 'dealt with," whereas in many cases the parents are more to blame than the child. There are, of course, children who "are "bad" notwith- standing good training at hove, due perhaps to an atavistic inher- itance, Parents may have poor social records themselves, But - generally speaking the child that does not.obey, or who runs wild sometimes, has simply lacked proper training, In that/ respect the parents themselves have been "delinquent," Chinese parents have a sound idea about these things, If their child steals or commits some other wrong they blame - thems selves and suffér serious "loss of face" among their neighbors. quent... brought béfore the" courts the magistrate deals with the parents To Surrender, Japs ' Must Undress First A Japanese soldier who wants to surrender to United States troops in the: Pacific must first take: off 'all his clothes and ad- vance in the nude, says Pet.

Of Word 'Canada' From Indian Name, Says Letter In Peterborough Examiner ---- * - . Siri--It is pretty well accepted Indian word "Kannata", meaning a cluster of huts or an Indian vil- ¢ lagé.

There is another story that the Indians called all of Eastern Can- _ada ""Akka Nada" but the one about "Kannata" seems to be tho accepted one. The Fathers, of Con- federation wanted to call it "The Kingdom of- Canada" but the Bri- tish Government objected to the word Kingdom as it would offend the United' States who were very sore on England. over their help to the South in the Civil War which had just ended, and perhaps . also felt that Canada as a king- dom would be Aspiring to equality with England. ; A E.
