Submarine Cook Returns
From Jap-hunting Mis-.
sion in Pacific

U. 8. Submarine Base, New Lon
don, Conn.,, February 4. - CUP -
Shaking the kinks out Of his sea
legs after returning from long,
but successful jap-hunting mission
in the Pacific, submarine cook
Barlet B, Goldnitz, %, (55 Elm
street, River Rouge, Mich, made
the proud boast today that I'VE got
twelve"
Goldnitz, who has served five
years aboard American submarines
and who likes to tell how he puts out
"the best chow in the Navy" counted
the score on his fingers:
One capital ship, one large war
ship, one small warcraft, an auxil-
larry tender, two transports and six
cargo ships.
The attack on the capital ship,
said Goldnitz, came after I'VE made
our approach, without any strain
and fired our tin fish,. The cap
tain saw them hit. The soundman
reported the enemy's propellers had
stopped dead. Then the captain
added the ship had been listing
heavily when he had taken his last
look"
The sub, he said, "had an easy
time of 1t" In disposing Of the sec
ond large warship. Soon after the
torpedoes struck, the crew heard a
loud rumbling series Of explosions
from the sinking vessel.
In one OF the other raids, Gold
nitz said several crew members
peered through the periscope TO see
the results of their attack.
The sub, after skirting two enemy
destroyers. had slipped into q bay
and drawn a bead on q heavily
laden transport.
"It was a perfect target and the
skipper was right on the ball. The
torpedoes slammed into the Japk
hull The transport mushroomed
up In q big blaze that ne the sky
line like sunset. Guns on the ship
were firing into the air. Troops
were ieaplng clear. And the Ehip
had q sharp list"
A few minutes later another
transport was sighted. II had just
unl0aded. A torpedo finished her
'T'be laps we're fooled" said
doldnitz. 'Their deslroyeFs tried q

REMEMBER9

DO you remember years ago
When growing girls sat down TO meno'
And before they started to read book
They cheated and looked at the end2
DO YOU remember the embroidery hoopsP
How you hated to stop work for meal
Those lovely roses and pansy pieces
That looked unbelievably realP
DO YOU remember your first novel
Struggled in at the age OF fourteen,
The path you wore to the public library,
Your first school hop at sweet sixteena
And you, old cabbage head, think back,
When the Rover Boys filled your life,
You followed them from east to west
In those tales Of storm and strife.
DO you, lady, remember the work Of art
You did darning your brothers stocking,
How you were scolded for coming IN after nine
And told, It was simply shocking?
without doubt you remember well,
And do you In turn scold and scold
Your sons and daughters or do they
Tell you where you get on?

TO MY SONS IN THE SERVICE
dedicated to all those who fight for Freedom

Humble am and proud am
To know that each OF you
Has placed our cause above your joys,
Your lives your labors too,
And left the easy dreams Of youth
To fight for truth.
Before this madness seized the earth
How carefree were your days!
But duty called: you sprang to arms,
Grim courage in your gaze.
You among the first to go
And face the foe.
You are the symbol of a world
That fights for liberty;
The symbol of all nations faith
Who say man shall be Free
You shine like stars deep in the night
For truth and right.
Yours is the spirit, yours the will
Amid the storm of hate
To struggle on toward hope for all,
And freedoms fair estate
Though 1t be built upon your grave,
THAT you viii save.
Your wit and valor shall secure
lasting peace on earth;
And by your effort and Gods grace,
Peoples shall have new BIRTH
The rights OF mankind shall prevail,
Oppression fail.
MY gallant sons. you who must learn
The sweat OF agony,
We have no words 70 thank you tor
Your perfect loyalty.
We never can repay our debt,
Never forget.
And though you ask no recompense,
Your acts shall yet remain
1he paragon Of bravery
AZ they are those Of pain.
God grant you reach your goal. Adieu,
And God shield you.
