By Some Natives

The night of the twentieth
day, under protest, we broke up.
Everybody went their own way.
Captain Cherry in the little boat
alone. with the co-pilot, naviga-
tor and the radio operator in the
other boat. In my opinion, we
couldn't have-the three men
couldn't have lasted another AZ
hours.
Captain Cherry was found by
the machinist's mate IN this one
plane. the navy plane, and the
other three boys drifted on TO
an unoccupied island and were
on il for one and one-half days
when the natives from another
island found them.
"In the afternoon Our boat
was sighted. We saw the two

of water and a big mug of beef

up with me. When we got TO the
base we were put on couple OF
ounces every other hour.
II tried to convince them that
I could take il and il wouldn't
harm me, but orders are orders
and we had 10 obey. which prob
ably was the right thing, be-
auSe within AZ hours they sent
some Ply boats. They picked us
up and took us down 10 the
medical base, the navy hospital
in the Samoans-all but the
engineer and radio operator who
was very weak and couldn't be
moved.

Jap Ground Troops

II went to see him and found
him the typical Jack that he al
ways has been, not seriously
wounded and on his way 10 re-
covery. He had splinter in
one eye, but they were able TO
relieve him of that.
"He said that he had never
found any ground troops any
harder combat troops than the
Japanese were. They just had
no regard for their lives and
they would not be taken pris-
oners.
IF YOU wanted them you had
10 kill them. and / say to you
very frankly our boys are learn
ing very rapidly how to do that
Job and they are doing 1T well.

were going to happen, that have

in with my ship; l had TO go up
with a combat crew in a BIZ
and there found a real hell-hole
of mud and corruption.
"If only our people back home
could know what these boys are
doing for us and for future gen.
erations, l think we would take
this war much more seriously.
THE airmen are doing the
same job, and both the navy
boys and the army boys are
blasting enemy ships, shooting

alone in the boat. The boys had

the next morning he was prob

The Writing on the Wall.

AAO vvAAtAuS Ou INC WALL
The writing on the wall is every
where now, for anyone to see-regi-
mentation. Regeneration of jobs,
of income, of living conditions, of
time, thought and action.
This is one of the demands of total
war in seeking the greatest efficiency
and production from available man
and woman-power. How to so gear
output that our standards of living
at home will remain American" and
our armed forces will be supplied on
time with all the unprecedented
needs of globa1 warfare, is the prob
lem.
In theory, it is protection through
equalization, temporary" control of
individual activity for the country's
good in time of emergency.
While our people willingly accept
temporary" restrictions as neces-
sity of war, the thing to remember
is that word temporary" We must
not drift into a mental attitude that
will pave the way for permanent
RECOMMENDATION That isn't the kind of
people we are.
What we have, what we are fight
ing for, is our roots, growing deep
into the soil of free enterprise and
free thinking, and the privilege of
minding our own business. That
privilege is what we must 60 back
to, after the war, if freedom as we
have known it is to survive in
America.
War Traffic Comes FIRST.
If your passenger train happens
to be little late, or if it doesn't con-
tain Super-deluxe lounge car COM
plete with bar and other fancy. acces-
series, don't start kicking at the rail-
roads. For the railroads are just as
much interested in serving you as
ever-but war traffic comes first.
That war traffic reaches staggering
totals. In a recent siX-months per-
iod, more than 100000 troops were
moved-not counting soldiers on
leave. Freight trains are delivering
some 5000 carloads to our eastern
seaports every day. Tank cars are
taking 100000 barrels of oil daily
into the East-where in normal times
they carried only about $4,000. The
railroads are successfully doing job
that skeptics said couldn't be done.
While doing this, they are carry
ing on their fine service in civilian
America. In all it's essentials, that
service is as good as it was before
the war. But, now and then, train
may be delayed because it had to
wait for war trains to pass. Luxury
lounge cars have been taken out Of
service, by order of the Office of De-
tense Transportation, because reg
ular types of cars of the same size
can carry more passengers. Those
are mighty small Inconvenience" to
pay for expediting the troop trains
and the war freights.
The travelling public can help
by not travelling except when neces-
sary, by making reservations as far
ahead of time as possible, by not
engaging more Pullman space than
is actually needed, and by not de-
manding needless special services.
It's also wise to not travel on hol-
days and over week-ends if you can
avoid it.
The trains are running farther and
faster than ever before. When you
board one, reflect that no industry is
doing a better or a more necessary
war job.
