Marine Home
From Bitter

Killed Japanese Officer
In Surprise Encounter
On Guadalcanal.
LIFE ONCE SAVED BY
REFLECTION OF MOON

Delbert j. Hammons, P. F. C.. OF
the U. S. Marine Corps, is home on
10 day furlough visiting his par
ents and friends at Ural. Delbert is
now 10 years old and has been in
the Marine Corps since January
1912 and already a veteran of the
Guadalcanal battle where he
served four months in actual conn.,
bat service.
While in the jungles of Quadal--
canal he contacted malaria and was
confined to a hospital for about a
month and later sent back to the
u. S. A. for recuperation. He was
home on a 80 day furlough in June
and this time one can see won
derfuI difference in his general
health. He will return to his de-
tachment at Bremerton within
few days, where a recent transfer
has been made from Camp Elliott,
Calf.
The Marines have long been
noted for their tough fighting quail
tiles and are usually the first ones to
land4on enemy soil and establish a
beaeh head Delbert speaks about
landing at. Guadalcanal and con-
tinuing a fierce hand to hand fight
for four months, smoking the Japs
out of the jungle with all sorts and
types of weapons. One big Jap Of
ficer, equivalent in rank of brlga-
der general, was the only one TAX
en- prisoner from whom valuable
military information was obtained.
One day Delbert was assigned to
hunting camoflauged sharp shooters
located in cocoanut palm trees.
These Japs wear green suits, hats
and paint their guns green. They
climb up in the tops Of the palm
trees and hide behind the cocoanuts
where they are not easily detected
in dense jungle.
Delbert says, "One of these birds
had been giving us lot Of trouble
/ and we started out to get him. /
/ finally spied one just in the nick Of
time. A few rounds from my TOM
my gun and another Jap came tum-
bling down" However, he says his
closest call came one night when
| the moon, yes, thank God for that
moon, was all that saved him. Says
| Delbert, L was on guard duty
around water truck and suddenly
heard noise | cried halt and asked
for the pass word but the creature
stealthily crawled around to the

The following statement covering
the policy concerning induction Of
men into the armed forces
been submitted by the secretary of
the Lincoln county draft board.
The majority of all registrants
are now deferred on grounds Of
bona fide family relationship Or
dependency without regard to oc-
cupation. However it has now be-
come necessary to put greater en-
phasis on occupation than on bona
fide family relationship or depend
ency status.
There are certain activities or oc-
equations not essential to war pro-
duction, agriculture or civilian &C
tivities contributing to the mainte-
nance of our national life. These ac-
tivities and occupations are such
that in time of war they cannot be
considered as entitled to share man
power with the armed forces. Fol
that reason, such activities and oc-
CupatiUr1g may be considered as rfoff=
deferrable.
