Wanted To Board Destroyer Commander Drexler's death was preceded just a few hours by his disappointment over failure to get aboard a super-destroyer named for his brother, his last letter related. A letter of May 10, 1945, told of sighting the destroyer on May 10 in waters where his own ship was operating. He described it as a handsome vessel and said it was his wish to go aboard.

Commander Drexler, who was graduated from the Naval Academy in 1923, was commanding LST operations in the Pacific when killed but had served in practically all the waters of the world during the war. He could have had an honorable discharge because of his eyes but insisted on remaining in the service and carrying out the hazardous tasks to which he had been assigned.

Kent Farmers to Get State Help on Pastures DOVER, March 22 (Special). County Agent William E. Tarbell announced today a campaign to improve pastures in Kent County under the slogan of "Grow Ladino." Every Kent farmer signing up will receive special help with their pasture program through special circulars, personal letters, and visits by the agent and the pasture spe cialist of the Delaware Extension Service.

The only qualification necessary for enrollment in the "Grow Ladino" campaign is to have some livestock that need feeding and to have a desire to feed the best and cheapest feed available. Ladino clover should be seeded at once so that it may become established and in full growth during 1950 and 1951. From there on out, if properly managed, fertilized, and not over-grazed, it will be good for many years of excellent and economical use for permanent pasture. Farmers not receiving an enrollment blank may obtain one at the county agent's office on the second floor of the Post Office Building in Dover.
