(AP) The infant daughter of Mr and Mrs Charles Niceley is doing nicely today, following birth early yesterday morning when her parents lost a race with the stork. The Nice-leys set out by car for a Davenport hospital, but the stork caught up with them at DeWitt, the halfway point. It became a case of stopping almost anywhere.

Waldmann, com manding officer of the Rock Island Ordnance Center, has received a report from Capt. H. W. Gerlach, salvage officer, regarding the activities of a group of 25 Italian prisoners assigned to stores and salvage activities at the arsenal. This group performed duties for which the arsenal had been unable to secure civilian labor.

Since their assignment these men have salvaged more than 200,000 board feet of old lumber at a saving to the taxpayer of more than $14,000. They have handled 12,500,000 board feet of new lumber, doing almost the entire job of unloading carload shipments and piling it up or taking it to the shops for manufacturing purposes. When the men were not handling lumber they unloaded more than 2,500,000 pounds of steel forgings and rough steel parts from box cars for manufacturing purposes or from bins for manufacture or for return to steel mills for remelting purposes. In addition the group shipped out over 500,000 pieces of walnut to eastern gun factories for making of gun stock blanks or for making hand guards. Altogether the 25 men accounted for 30,000 man hours of labor for which no civilian labor could be hired.
