Ferretti, Gustavo - 1946

YOUNG ITALIAN VETERAN ASKS TO STAY IN THE U.S.

A 15-year-old Italian boy who fought with the United States 5th army from Cassino to Rome and was a litter bearer during the battle of the Arno river today awaited decision from immigration officials that he hoped would permit him to become an American.

The youth, Gustavo Ferretti, who was smuggled into the United States by returning troops last August, had fought as a gunner with B battery of the 18th field artillery.  He was wounded by shrapnel and awarded the Purple Heart by his battery commander, though without the official certificate.

When action lulled on the B battery front, this youth joined the 361st infantry just before the battle of the Arno River.  Her served through Arno, Florence, and Bologna.  In all young Ferretti served twenty-one months and received a European theatre ribbon with four battle stars.

Hauck, Charles W. - 1946

PROFESSOR SCORES U.S. FOOD WASTE
The fact that one-fourth of the food produced in the United States is allowed to go to waste is an indictment of the carelessness and extravagance of the American people, Prof. Charles W. Hauck of Ohio State University, said recently.

Pointing out that the food wasted annually in this country could feed the five New England states or the hunger-ridden countries of Belgium, Holland, Greece and Czecho-Slavakia, Prof. Hauck told a meeting of the Pennsylvania Vegetable Growers Association estimates indicated that more food has been wasted each year than was consumed annually by our armed forces and lend-lease shipments combined during the war.

He described research being conducted jointly by the Ohio Agricultural Experiment Station and a large food store chain to try to check waste through mechanized trimming and packaging of fresh fruits and vegetables in transparent sealed units.

“We hope that our work, which is available to all distributors, will lead to a reduction in this shocking waste which in leafy, green and yellow vegetables runs as high as 43 percent”, he said.  “The loss occurs all along the line—on farms, in packing houses, processing, transportation and storage; in wholesale warehouses and retail stores, in consumers’ homes and public eating places.”

Everhart, John - 1914

LOOKING BACK

Taken from the Bellwood Bulletin, October, 1914.

Just recently a jolly crowd of young people from this place went to the home of the Misses Werner, in Altoona, via the Jno. Everhart “hay-ladders”.  A fine evening was spent in playing games and music.  The home was nicely decorated, and above the arch of autumn leaves was the word “welcome”.  Later on all were called to the dining room to partake of some swell eats.

Among those present were Misses Goshorn, Ubil, Trout, Bentley, Holden, Dolin, Burns, Cornmesser, Houston, Garhoof, of Williamsport, Wolf and Werner, of Altoona, and Messrs. Fowler, Burns, Strunk, Bush, Skagenberg, Gilmore, Irwin, Ubil, Isenberg, Houston, Briggs, Rice, Woodring, of Tyrone, Brennen and Wernoer of Altoona.  The chaperons were Misses Strunk, Houston, and Powers.

Holliday, W. D. - 1914

LOOKING BACK

Taken from the Bellwood Bulletin, October, 1914.

The following article is clipped from the “Loraine Times Herald”’ <sic> of a recent issue and refers to the new Ohio railroad in which W. D. Holliday of this place is largely interested.  It refers to a new passenger service, instead of electric cars it will be a special train of three passenger coaches and a combination car pulled by a locomotive, it’s the passenger service in Lorain, Ashland and Southern.
