Stringless Beans Are No. 1 Food Crop In Small Garden

B. c and D, proteins 2.3% fats .3¢7,,,car- bofiydrates 7.4%, and seven of ilie minerals which an: beneficial in the diet. There are 184 calories in. a pound of bczms, so if you are sol minded you can figure out just why beans are so nutritious.

From Bermudas

By FORD BAXTEI. Candi Press Correspondent

HAMIILTON Merrnuda. Mimi: N (CP) —The Somers Islands, better brown as the Bermudas. today are the springboards fllngi Free Frenchmen. Spaniards an Czechs back into European battlefields a1- ter escapes from the Nazis and from territory under the rule of the Vichy government.

Some saw Poland crushed but were unorushed. some went through the ordeal of the Spanish civil war. ‘Ilhey have come from the former fronts of France. They have trod- den desert sands with the Bench Foreign Legion. Somehow, with in- domitable spirit they made their wa from European ports to Mar- tin que.

It ivas possible for them to m- main at Martinique in reasonable comfort. though under orders not to leave. But they had one bum- ing ambition; they must rejoin the Allied forces. They escaped. They endured hardships in making their getaways in small dugout craft e- cross 50 miles or more of ocean to islands like St. Lucia and Dominica. Once in the British West Indies, the great hand of Britain reach- ed out. It took these men to Ber- muda. gave them food. shelter. rest. clothes and satisfied their ambition "cm Bermuda they were dispatch- ed to the various front lines Eng- land ls maintaining.

Zh-lal and Romance

They all have stories, told with the understanding their names will not be used. One youngster had gone from Buenos Aires to fight in Spain. From them he had fought. in France. He could have return- ed home from St, Lucia but he is proceeding to Britain. By now he is once more waging the WIJ!'l(l'S battle against oppression.

I was touched by the story of a 23-year-old Czech who had been in the Polish and French wars af- ter a daring escape from Zecho-Slo- vakia. He evaded nine guards on the Polisli-Czecho-Slovaklan border and, amid a. hail of bullets, gally waved a. handkerchief to_ the Nazis on the Czeolio-Slovakian side. He rested in a military hospital, in Bermuda. He was in a plaster cast om l"; waist down to his heels, from an old ailment. Doctors say his nerves are injured but lie is anxious to return to the wars.

He told me he had a. beautiful ﬁancee. She was 1B the last lie had seen of her. "I do not know vrhero she is now." lie said. "I've heard nothing of her since May, 1939. We were to be married. I hope some day we Shllll be. I keep praying that nothing will happen to her, and that she has some intuition I am still alive. We shall meet again. We must."

One Czech sergeant had arrived at Bermuda alone. He was rushed

to the Colony suffering from 2111i

inflamed appendix but; has recover- ed and will soon be sent abroad.

This man knows what it is to suf- fer torture iii e Nazi concentration camp. Even today despite his hap- pirie,~s at being free, there is a ner- vous tremor to his voice and there are sharp lines about his eyes. He had remained in his own country lifter its occupation by Germany and worked in a railway station. With calm fortitude he began to do wliiit he could to help other Czechs escape the country and join the fighting forces of the Allies. Bands of men were taken out of Czecho- slovakia and the Germans were none the wiser-for a time.

Bruised and Beaten

Oiie day several Gprmims arrested the Czech sergeant while he was at work and threw him into a con- centration camp. From September to February. he was left to him- self. Hourly he wondered ‘what would happen to him.

In February the Germans began to pay particular attention to him. Each day he was brought out. and a German would demand “Did you 1161b Czechs to escape?" "No." the soldier would reply. His word was hardly uttered when the Nazi would clout him behind the ears, on the head, RibOLlt» the body wit-ii a heavy weapon. The questions would continue; some shouted, some whis- pered. some shrleked. when it mime his turn to answer he remained Biﬂadfﬂst. “N0. no, no. ,1 have done "Oﬁhing." he would cry. Then the»: punished him anew. It seemed end- ess to him

Thrown back into the camp sf. ter his beatings. he would lie there in pain and misery only to face n all over again the next morning. They devised new ways to torture him. They placed pieces of wood between his finger then squeezed them. Dally he iveakened with Lhg Dtiin, which never left him. Final- ly. amid a great bunting. he cried out n confession. That seemed to be all the Germans wanted,

One of the guards sent the Czech to a cellar for some wood.

Before long an automobile quietly approached the barn and he was taken to the Czech-Slovak- Hungarian border.
