HUNTING TRIP
SUCCESSFUL!

The customary first principles OF
the standard newspaper yarn being
the we'll known five w's, Who what,
Why, When, and Where, it may be
noticeable that some of these re-
quisites are lacking in the following
story, due to the unparalleled mo-
desty of the participants.
1t seems there were two hunters
who went out in boat. Somehow
they fell into the water, and were
rescued near Shelter Island by three
other men who happened along in
the proverbial nick of time. All Of
the characters in the drama are
mechanics of the Alaska Coastal
Airlines, the rescued being Walt
Ludtke and Robert Martin, and the
rescuees were Dave Brown, Mike
Karhonen and Capt. Lokin.
Aside from these meagre factS,'
nothing was to be cleaned concern
ing the affair, and we'll never know
whether or not the hunting expedi-
ton was successful

TO Be CHANGED

WASHINGTON, Oct 25. The
War Department, seeking to step up
the fighting efficiency of the Army
ground forces, have ordered infantry
divisions reduced in manpower and
motor vehicles and TO be greatly
increased in fire power.
