Huston Back After
"Hitchhiking" from
Italy Combat Area

Pfc. Gerald Huston of Glasgow,
son of Mrs. Frank Huston, is home
again after a six-week hitch hike
trip from the Italian front.
Huston, with other men over 38 in
his mobile hospital unit, was given
a discharge in November while serv-
ing north of Naples and has spent
most of the time since getting home
by various conveyances.
The groups orders stated the men
were to make the trip back by any
available means. This meant a small
steamer from Italy back to North
Africa. From there, by bitches and
starts, they made their way by rail-
road to Casablanca. The trip from
there to an eastern United States
port was on a Liberty ship.
Huston's experiences bear out the
enthusiastic news dispatches con-
corning medical care given wounded
Americans. His unit, all under tents,
was constantly on the move to be as
close to battle lines as possible. The
completely equipped hospital was in
as close as three miles to
the front. 1t "a not unusual. the
Glasgow man said, to see three
crack surgeons working at the same
time ON an American casualty.
Huston landed at Oran last St.
Patrick's day. His unit followed the
advance through Africa, Sicily
and Italy. He was particularly i'm
pressed by the huge quantities of
German vehicles and artillery cap
5ured in Africa, along with thous-
ands of prisoners.
He witnessed several German air
aids, but said the Germans never
lad strong enough command of the
air where he was stationed to stage
daylight bombing.

DRIVE HERE
JANUARY q
Kiwanis and Boy Scouts Will
Join in Pickup Campaign
from City Places.
HouSehOlders Asked to Place
Waste on Curbs; Trucks
Will Gather II.

Glasgow Kiwanis club members
and Boy Scouts will join forces here
Sunday afternoon, Jan. %, in a
salvage campaign which has as its
goal the collection of a carload of
waste paper, the present No. l
critical material in the United
States.
Plans for the campaign were
at a luncheon at Dunn's
coffee shop Monday noon Kiwanis
youth activity and public affairs
committees headed by F. S. Mueller
and T. j. Hooking will be in charge,
while DR.. K. r. Steffensen and
Howard Nelson, scoutmasters, will
direct Boy Scouts.
The plan is for all householders
and business people in Glasgow to
bundle or box their waste paper
and leave it on street curbS, from
where it will be picked up BY
volunteer Scout Kiwanis crews,
placed in trucks and hauled directly
to the car.
All proceeds from the sale of the
paper will go to finance Boy Scout
activities in Glasgow.
In addition, for the convenience
OF farm people who may want to
bring in waste paper earlier, they
may leave it with o. c. Teigen at
the south side WeStland oil station
in Glasgow. Mr.. Teigen has limited
space available for farm
contributions. However, all local
people are asked to place their
on the curbs or sidewalks.
The pickup will begin at 2 Sunday
afternoon, Jan. %.
Old newspapers, magazines and
paper board boxes are all acceptable,
heads said. Contributions
should be tied in bundles with
twin or placed in paper
boxes. Local stores will cooperate
by furnishing empty paper boxes
for packing.
1t was stressed that binder Irvine
must not be used in tying bundles.
Grease from such Irvine may render
whole batch of paper useless
when it is reprocessed. For the same
reason, no greasy or waXy papers
should be placed in bundles.
Business houses, which usually
clean out correspondence and re-
cord files in January. were urged to
save all such material for the drive.
