Friend and kinsman George V. Hannah attended farmers’ field day at Rosin Run in Green Bank as a more or less innocent bystander. The war sidetracked his big farming enterprise by calling son Joel into service. George was badly injured a couple of years since by a fall from a load of hay, then sciatica came on to incapacitate him further. Howard Heverner has rented the farm; the big dairy herd was disposed at an auction sale some months back…
Lunch was served by the ladies of Liberty Church. This church will celebrate some day in August the one hundredth anniversary of the present church building. It is hoped that Rev. Samuel B. Hannah, now of Arizona, can be present and preach. He is a son of this church. Old Liberty is typical meeting house style of architecture. I’d say you would have to go New England to find its equal for beauty and simplicity of design.
In speaking of changes in farm practice, mention should be made of the growing milk and cream business. There is daily delivery of whole milk to the carnation plant at Huttonsville. Many farmers make regular shipments of butter fat. There are a number of producers of Grade A milk with a daily delivery to Lewisburg…
Among the successful farmers at the field day, of middle age and better, was Faris Hamed. Born in Lebanon, Syria, in Asia Minor, he came to America at an early age, to grow up with the country. He was out to add to his knowledge of successful farming. He had just received word that his son, Julian, a veteran of the last war, a Lieutenant in the Reserves, had been called into active service. He is on his way to Germany

Private Edward Long, son of Mr. and Mrs. Price Long, of Dailey, recently joined the 31st Infantry Regiment in Korea. In joining the Seventh Division’s famous Regiment, Long becomes a member of one of the most traveled units of the Korean campaign. Its records include an amphibious landing on each coast of Korea… It has the distinction of never having been stationed in the United States. Because of this fact, Long can justly claim to be an American Foreign Legionnaire – fighting in Korea.
