A month ago, while on patrol with a unit of the Third Marine Division, Cpl. Darby was sever- ely wounded and lost one foot. Rescued by helicopter, he was taken to a base hospital, then Lo a distribution center, and rushed to a naval hospital in the States. His parents have praised the consideration and superb efficiency of the Marine and the Naval Medical Corps in treating their son, and have told me that the Marines, despite the scope of their operations and the grave strains under which work must be done, kept the Darby family fully advised on the condition and where- DEMILITARIZED ZONE--Smoke plumea skyward from a U.S. bomb blast in the Demilitarized Zone between the Vietnams.

These U.S. soldiers are dug in just south of Ben Hal River, which divides the North and South sides of the DM Zona abouts of the Corporal. Further, they have told me that Cpl. Darby, despite his grave injury, feels that his sacrifice, was fully worthwhile, and in fact is ser- iously considering continuing his military service voluntarily, To me, there is no better trib- ute to the humanity and dedica- tion of the men at all levels of our Armed services. So on this Memorial Day, while we express our heartfelt hopes for peace in Vietnam and other troubled regions of the world, we can also be proud of the fine men of Maryland and all the states who, in the tur- moil and terror of war, are serving their country and their fellow Americans so well.

Mom did a huge laundry, a couple sinkfuls of dishes and Sis used a tub-and-a-half of hot water for her bath. Then came baby's bath. After that, Dad and his shower.

As Dad began his sixteenth chorus of The Road to Mandalay, Junior's hopes soared. This might be the night. The night they ran out of hot water! Not a chance! Not with a Gas water heater. But cheer up Junior. A Gas water heater isn't all bad.

Since it does the job at about one-half the cost of heating water electrically, the money a Gas water heater saves in a single year could buy someone a brand new bicycle. Someone who takes his bath without a big fuss. OP MARYLAND THINK OF ALL THINGS YOU CAN DO WITH THE MONEY YOU SAVE. GAS MAKES THE BIG DIFFERENCE,.
