THE ITHACA JOURNAL. MONDAY EVENING, APRIL 26, 1943 THREE Ithacan Held Prisoner of War Gets Food Through Red Cross Missionary Passes Pittsburgh UP) The Very Rev. Thomas J.

Blood Donors Give Bank 866 Pints State Told Of Lake's High Level Service Stars After Mishap Drowns Mate Fuel Shortage Relief Foreseen Varna Man Pilots Visiting Transport Lieut.

J. C. Smith of Varna piloted a big U.S. Army Air Force transport that visited the Ithaca Municipal Airport over the weekend, The twin motored DC-3 first appeared over the city Saturday afternoon, sweeping in low and swinging out over Varna before circling for a landing. Smith landed the heavy ship on the runway with a comfortable "margin to spare.

In taking off in still air he used only 2,000 feet of runway. Varna acquaintances were among the hundreds of airport visitors who inspected the plane and watched its takeoff. Smith and his crew flew here from a base in Missouri to a station on the Atlantic Seaboard. Mayor Comfort today called attention of the State Department of Public Works to Cayuga Lake's Iiigh level, water from which is flooding the lowlands in the southwest section of the city. The water level was at 385.6 feet above sea level this morning, having risen nearly four inches since Friday.

Although there are no specific governing control of the lake level at Mud Lock, Ithaca city officials have at various times in recent years been assured that the maximum, insofar as control operations are concerned, would not exceed 385 feet. A strong north wind blowing when the 385-foot level prevails often damages shore installations and under similar circumstances with a higher level a hazard to cottages exists. Now the high lake level may defer the planting of Victory Gardens on some sites either under water or untillable because of the saturation. Players Group To Hear Reports The Ithaca Community Players will meet at 7:45 p.m. Tuesday at the Community Building to hear reports on the play, "Papa Is- All," given in Boynton Junior High School auditorium recently.

A prisoner of war in Germany, Second Lieut. Gardner M. Reynolds is receiving food through the Red Cross, he revealed in two letters and a post card that recently reached his mother, Mrs. Ruth G. Reynolds, 24 Renwick Heights Rd.

A bombardier on a Flying Fortress, Lieutenant Reynold's plane was shot down into the English Channel on Dec. 30, 1942. The Ithacan parachuted to safety. He is believed to have been participating in the bombing of the submarine base at Lorieht when captured by the Nazis. One of the letters arrived for his mother Saturday.

Chocolate Requested In his messages, he wrote: "We have classes here, lectures, and plenty of books in the library. When you send parcels, put in plenty of chocolate and candy. "I'm plenty lucky to be alive as are all the men in this camp. I have had enough experiences to last a lifetime. "Eight of us live in one room, and do our own cooking out of packages of food we get from the Red Cross.

"I've met a young man from Cornell, Newton Boyce, who lived with Mrs. Fred Dean on N. Tioga St. He is unhurt, but a prisoner of war like myself. Studies Spanish "I manage to keep my time occupied by exercises, and study.

I am taking a course in Spanish. I usually go to church on Sunday. We have services of the Church of England. The services are very good. I am getting along okay and am well.

We are allowed to write three letters and four post cards each month." The mail address of the Ithacan is: Second Lieut. Gardner M. Reynolds, Prisoner of Wrar 146, Stalag Luft No. 3, Company 3, Germany. Weather Expected To Continue Cool Heavy clouds that obscured the sun over the Easter weekend, succeeded in producing .05 of an inch of rainfall, according to Weather Bureau officials, but temperatures ranged above the normal which was one factor in favor of the Easter parade.

Clearing skies during the night was attended by a temperature drop to 41 degrees, and the forecast is for continued cool tonight and Tuesday morning.

E. J. Simmons, chairman of the Tompkins County Blood Donor committee which worked with the Rochester Mobile Unit, announced today that the unit will return the week of July 49. The quota set for collection here was 1,000 pints, and from this number of volunteer donors the committee expected to have 900 pints. The discrepancy of 34 pints was due to the number of registered donors who failed to show up, Mrs.

Simmons sard. At the same time many applicants had to be turned away because the time was filled Numbers of them stayed for some time at the Henry St. John School on the chance that some registered blood givers would break their appointments. Mrs. Simmons reported that the Mobile Unit was pleased with the co-operation received here, noting great efficiency on all sides.

Record Price For April Milk Foreseen New York UP) The rate of return on April milk from deliveries to New York-area approved plants will be $3.01 a hundredweight, the highest price on record for April milk, predicts C. J. Blanford, administrator of the New York metropolitan milk marketing area. Blanford said Sunday Cornell University records, dating back to 1910. indicate the April blended price nearest the current estimate was that of $3 a hundredweight in 1919.

He added a low point of 98 cents was reached in 1939. Gain of 30 Per Ceni The difference between last year's April price of $2.30 and this year's forecast is a gain of 30.9 per cent, he said. Declaring the April deliveries at 464 milk plants now forming the New York pool would reach a total of 562,000,000 pounds compared with a pool content of 604,938.430 pounds in April, 1942, Blanford said: "The forseen reduction of 7.1 per cent can be attributed minly to withdrawal of plants and producers from the New York pool in the past 12 months. Adverse weather conditions throughout the milk-shed during nearly all the month, however, have contributed to the decline. April Pool 17 Millions "Combining the forecasts of price and pioduction indicates that the April pool will yield a farm value of nearly $17,316,200.

That return, if our estimates prove will be nearly 20 per cent richer than the yield of $14,437,520.09 from Ap ril, 1942, deliveries. The anticipated gain amounts to $2,878,679.91. In comparison with previous yields, the April return should rank only to the value of the deliveries in May, 1942, when the pool pro duced a farm value of $17,800,000."

Although several thousand gallons may be obtained from this source the supply is not expected to last more than a few days. Several more local filling stations told motorists over the weekend, "We're all out." One station, out of gasoline for two days last week, obtained 400 gallons late Saturday afternoon, a supply that vanished by Sunday morning. Geneva Station Dairy Head To Teach Here Dr.

Arthur C. Dahlgerg, head of the dairy division of the State Agricultural Experiment Geneva, will come to Cornell on July 1 as professor of dairy manufacturing, Dean Carl E. Ladd of the College of Agriculture said today. Dr. Dahlberg is now on a special mission for the federal government in Central America.

Dean Ladd said that there was no basis for "rumors emanating from Geneva that part of the state experiment station there would be transferred to Cornell. Concern was expressed in Geneva over the possibility of such a move when it was discovered that the new budget for the station did not carry a salary appropriation for Dr. Dahlberg. The explanation was given by Dean Ladd this morning that Dr. Dahlberg's transfer to Cornell was directed by the Board of Regents and the Director of the Budget two years ago.
