containing hundreds of cases, with
each case containing approximately
1000 rounds.
Hand grenades were scattered
everywhere, some dropped by the
Japanese in their hasty retreat
from the area, others set out as
BOBBY traps for the unwary. Dumps
were piled high with hundreds OF
cases, and deep revetments led to
small caches of all types of ammuni-
ton.
Two big warehouses were found
burning Two others, at least 125
feet long, were piled high with rice
in rubberized sacks, each containing
so pounds of the favorite food OF
the Japanese, plus few cans OF
salmon.
Two warehouses contained new
weapons, the japanese .25-caliber
rifles and both light and heavy
machine guns. All were in their
original packing boxes and cover
ed with protective grease. Anti
aircraft shells for the three guns
on the beach were piled high In

quantities of good fresh potatoes
and carrots, dehydrated vegetables
not readily identifiable, canned
fruits and fruit juices, and good
American coffee.
Living quarters preseted a
study in contrast. Neat as to ar
rangement, they were crowded
and smelly. Over the entire camp
area lowered the inevitable Jap
anese odor of dried fish. Sanitary
facilities were elementary but ade-
quate.
T1VO-TUB BATH
One small stream tumbling
from the mountainside provided a
bath area. A small shack housed
two huge tubs-one for cold and
one for hot water-with a drying
shelf on higher level.
Living quarters held the usual ac-
emulation of Japanese soldier
knickknacks, fans and pictures.

two blankets of good quality to pro-

Intensified Campaign on Coast=to=Coast Scale to
Stimulate Interest, to Enroll Volunteers

instances in which the entire per-
sonnet of district offices have vol
unteered as donors.
Life And Death
1t is believed by officials of the
Red Cross and the insurance COM
pany that the distribution of the
blood donor leaflets will result in
the enlistment of many new donors.
AS Leroy a Lincoln, president of
the Metropolitan said: Experience
among our own employees shows
that most people appreciate that
blood plasma often is the deciding
factor between life and death for
an American fighting man, and be-
cause of this many poole are anX-
ious to volunteer as donors. They
ask only to be told what to do and
how to go about it. Some 5000 to
1000 Metropolitan agents in 33
large cities will provide this in
formation in half a million leaflets
as prepared by the Red Cross. The
agents will inform policyholders
and others where donors can be
cared for in those cities. The Red
Cross blood donation program de-
serves the wholehearted support of
everyone who prays that victory
can be won at the lowest possible
cost in American lives.
According to Red Cross and
medical authorities. too much en-
phasis cannot be placed on the eff
feet that plaSma has had in keep
ing down fatalities from combat
wounds and speeding recovery.
With the certainty of steeped-up
offensive against the Axis. and the
casualties bound to result from
such an offensive, the American
people can take an active and val
liable part by volunteering as blood
donors.
Group Enlistments
Business firms, civic, social or
ganizations, and the like are being
urged to enlist their members and
employees for donors, as has been
done by the Metropolitan and sew
eral other large organizations.
Group enlistments as blood donors
are the best insurance against the
understandable nervousness which
sometimes bothers people before
they have made the first donation.
In such cases, the presence of
friends as donors is more reassuring
even than the fact that donations
need be neither harmful danger
GUS, nor difficult.
The Waterbury Democrat. [volume] (Waterbury, Conn.) 1917-1946, 1943-06-17

An intensified campaign to re-
cruit blood donors on behalf of the
American Red Cross has been
launched by the Metropolitan Life
Insurance Company with the dis
tribution of some 100000 leaflets by
more than $500 of its agents. The
effort will be concentrated in the
80 key cities of the United States in
which are located adequate labor
atory and blood processing facili-
ties.
This campaign will be along the
lines of one already conducted by
the Metropolitan among its own
employees which was successful in
enlisting about 10 per cent of the
total number employed by the in
surance company. For example,
among our own employees shows
company's home office in New York
City, a total of 1879 persons have
been donors to the plasma blood
bank on one or more occasions.
Among the agents and clerks in the
field, the total of blood donors has
been 3173, many of whom have
made multiple donations. There are

UNITED CHURCH
PLANS PROGRAM
Roosevelt Endorses Can
vass; Series of Radio
BrOadcasts Arranged

New York, June 17-Epcouraged
by reports indicating that the
United Church Canvass plan was
used in one form or another in
about 300 communities during tina
past season, the planning committee
of the United Church Canvass has
now laid out its 1894 program. &C
cording to announcement by Rev.
Earl F. Adams, chairman.
The time from November 81 to
December IL is recommended by the
United Church Canvass committee
for the fall period. A spring period
likewise is to be designated, but the
dates have not yet been selected.
The fall period has been selected
after consultation with officials Of
the National War Fund and the
Presidents War Relief Control
Board. The War Fund, combining
into one huge campaign the appeals
of such agencies as the U. S. O.,
British, Russian, Greek and other
relief organizations, is scheduled to
begin its appeal October 1 and to
conclude November 20. Locally, the
War Fund is expected to include
community chests in many locali-
ties.
War Fund
Because Of the huge proportions
of the War Fund, local church
groups are urged to confer immed-
lately with officials of that organ
ization and community chests, look
ing toward agreement on definite
period during which the churches
may carry on their canvass, either
unitedly or singly.
President Roosevelt has again
given his endorsement to the United
Canvass plan.
The Planning Committee will is
sue a series of advertisements, with
mats of each available at nominal
prices. A series of radio broadcasts
also is to be arranged and other
promotional materials will be avail
able.

definitely shown its value to the
churches" commented DR.. Adams

tutionS OF religion TO make JOIN

ties yet it does not involve bulking o.
budgets into a common fund. Each
church maintains its own canvass
organization and solicits its owr
people. But the impact of joint pub.
licity and promotion has in ever,
case of which we have report
brought increased returns in thu
form of more money. better church
attendance and larger interest
generally in the churches. We look
forward this coming year to 9

Sixteen bodies have given nation

frequent by other faiths and COM
munions.

Holtz Bay, Attn, June 1.-THE In
yaders from Tokia weren't just drop
ping in for summer vacation when
they occupied Attu last June. They
we're prepared for a nice, long stay
on Uncle Sans soil.
U. S. troops put an end to that
idea when the joint Army-Navy at
tack landed trops on the island.
Seven days later they occupied this
strategic area with its two bays and
airport possibilities.
But the Japanese had come with
every intention of staying. They
brought an almost unbelievable
amount of ammunition, and the stay
was to be made as pleasant as pos
sile with huge quantities of food.
Along the long beach front
of the west arm of Holtz Bay, first
objective seized by Americans, the
Japanese had dug in we'll and deep.
All of their living quarters were
underground.
LIVED IN TUNNELS
Only three tents in the entire
area stood above the earth, and
these were camouflaged with en-
twined tundra grass. Scores OF
dwellings, ammunition and food
dumps, bomb shelters and working
quarters were dug straight into sheer
hillsideS.
An intricate system of intercom-
municating trenches served a third
of their camp area, reached all
their anti-aircraft guns mounted
on the beach Gun crews serving
these weapons lived, ate and slept,
literally, by their guns.
Underground trenches with walls
and roofs boarded and covered with
tundra radiated from the guns in
every direction. One tangent led to
a ammunition storeroom, another
to quarters for living, another to
machine gun emplacement.
Entrances to some of these I'M
derground shelters were SO cunning
ly concealed they weren't apparent
at Is feet.
When American soldiers moved
onto the beach on the west arm
of Holtz Bay from Attu ridge they
ammunition everywhere.
Every gun position was supplied
with numerous cases stacked close
