MARRIED FEBRUARY 2 ATLANTA, GA. -- Doctors don't know what's the matter with Pvt. Chester J. Salvatori. Salvatori has a big appetite, a gargantuan appetite, an appetite that would appall even an elephant. A breakfast of 40 eggs, 20 pieces of toast, several quarts of milk, eight pieces of bacon, a : quart of coffee, and a box--a big box--of cerea' is nothing unusual for the soldier from Southbridge, Mass. And Salvatori isn't a big guy. He's just 110 pounds and slightly less than average in height. He tells friends that he once ate an 18-pound turkey at one meal-- without help. His favorite meat is pork chops, and he says he's eaten as many is 86 at a meal. Physicians who have the little guy with the big appetite under observation at Fort McPherson station hospital say his stomach is a little larger than average, but not much. They say also it may be that his craving for food is psychological, but they are not definite or unanimous in the matter. Salvatori has been in the army four years and four months. In civilian life he likes to work in a grocery store or a bakery. Once, ha said, he worked for an optical company and nearly starved to death.

EARL HOLM Sentiment All Right Except During Battle WITH THE MARINES.--Gunnery Sgt. Anthony T. Lapkiewiez of Philadelphia, Pa., believes in a time for sentiment as long as that time isn't during battle with the Japs. For 24 days, Lapkiewiez, a tank commander, battled the Nips from behind the armor of ' his favorite tank, the "Avenger," says Leather* neck magazine. Then one day in a Jap-infested gorge the "Avenger" hit a Jand mine. It war disabled and wouldn't budge. Lapkiewiez was forced to abandon his favorite after ripping out the breach of the tank's gun and removing the radio equipment. The following day he went back to reclaim the "Avenger," but the concentration of enemy fire in the gorge made it impossible to approach the tank. Two days later Lapkiewiez entered the gorge again, this time in command of a tank named "Five Acres." A flame throwing tank flanked the "Five Acres." Lapkiewiez spotted the old "Avenger," now manned by a Nip crew. The accompanying tank poured on the heat and the stranded tank was reduced to a flaming bier for the enemy crew. "IHtnay sound silly," Lapkiewiez saidX/but we had been through a lot together and X hated like hell to blast her. She was a stubborn old cuss. "But on an operation like this you can't afford to get sentimental over a tank. Especially with every other one of your buddies resting up there," and Lapkiewiez wqged his arm in the direction of the cemetery.

I especially like the front page and Earl Walsh's column of sports as I like to know how the boys are making out on the basketball team. Today we pulled out of a bay in the Philippines and are now stopped to get a fresh simply of water. Tomorrow we will be, I think, heading out to relieve P. C. E. 844 for guard patrol, but it really is weather patrol, We will stay out for seventeen days and then come back to the bay. Then we should be getting under way toward coming back to the States and I'm pretty sure that in March we will be back in Virginia. I hear that the ship will be overhauled at that time for there has been a great amount of engine trouble. Will close now and get some sleep. As ever, "DICK" SCHMITT.

Caraher, 36, of Chicago, should be dead. Army and navy doctors agree on this, but he is recovering at an army hospital at Oahu. Caraher was a mortar man with the 77th division in the battle of Okinawa. A bullet entered his left side, lacerated a lung and his liver, penetrated his diaphragm, and frac-' tured two ribs. Most of the bat- .talion medical aidmen had been disabled, and Caraher gave himself first aid. Then he lay alone throughout the night, afraid the Japs would find and kill him_ v "I lay still, afraid even of the rasping noise made by the air sucked into the hole in my chest when I breathed," he said. "I'm > getting well now, but my case was studied as a freak by doctors in a Guam hospital. They couldn't understand how I stayed alive." ---- Pet Dog Complicates Rescue From Tracks m WE SEE PROFITS FOR YOU :.w, if your baby chicks come from us.

Garden vegetables should be harvested before they grow old. Crops such as chard and leaf lettuce grow bitter with age; Radishes become peppery, beans tough and beets corky. Overripe cabbage tends to split, especially so after irrigation. Broccoli should be cut before the bloom buda open. Cutting off the center head with four or five inches of stem gives the side sprouts a chance to develop Into edible heads. Summer squash should be harvested while the skin is still tender.
