In Memoriam
In loving memory of our dear hus
band, son-in-law, and brother-in-law,
Pvt. Adrian Leo Basinger, USMC,
who was killed in action on Okinawa
May 4, 1945.
A year has passed since he has gone.
Our hearts are heavy still
We miss him so, our brave marine
And know we always will.
He sleeps today on foreign soil
With other lads so brave
Who gave their all, their life so
dear,
Our homes and lives to save.
Each day brings sweet memories
Each memory brings a tear,
Deep within our hearts we cherish
Thoughts of him we loved so dear.
Tho time may soften sadness
And wash away our tears,
It sweetens memory’s picture
Of those happy by-gone years.
Sadly missed by all

I YAWN?
VT’AWNING is an action caused by
the nerves which connect with
our lungs. When the air in our
lungs is empty of the proper amount
of oxygen required to maintain a
healthy blood supply, the lungs im
mediately communicate that fact to
these little nerves which in turn
take the message to the brain. The
brain transmits the emergency call
to certain muscles which go to work
and force one to open his mouth
and take in a large supply of air
with its clean, pure oxygen.

Reports from Ohio apiaries indicate
colonies came through the winter in
good condition, and very favorable
weather enabled bees in some areas
to gather pollen the first week in
March. The pollen supply is very
important in building up strong
colonies in preparation for the honey
flow. If the natural pollen supply
fails, progressive bookeepers now
supply colonies with artificial pollen-
