 ter From France

Captain Uric A. Dionne of i5 Columbia boulevard, former locs physician, writes to his family fror France that the French nation q not the beaten country we were lS to believe" Serving on the surgics staff at an evacuation hospital, th, local medical officer has had wid, contact with the French people and through knowledge of their languags has gained much first-hand inform Rtion.
 Dr, Dionne writes the French pa. triotS have been very impressed with the abundance and quality of the American military supplies and find the American materials quite unlike those of the Germans who until rs- gently held the people in subjuga- tion. They say they have been wait- ing for a long time for the Ameri- cans to get there, the Waterbury officer states.
 Answering sick calls in France can prove to be quite an adventure, the physician indicates, One time he called in Q jeep on a sick French woman, carrying his flashllght in enc hand, drugs in another, and medical instruments in his pocket, he relates.
 When he refused payment for his services the woman preferred q chicken from her precious and dim finishing flock, he writes.

Waterbury Youth Praised By Captain as Good
 Marine"

CDy Stan Sergeant Dick Tenelly,
 of Washington, D, C., . Marine
 Combat Correspondent, formerly of The Washington Daily News.)
 :. Pacific Base-(Delayed) His deeds on Kwajalein Atol In the Marshall Islands of last February l finally caught up with Marine Cor poral Bronlslow A. Snieckus here today, after experiences in the Sai- pan and Tlnian battles which made Kwajalein seem almost like child's play.
 It was not fer child's play, how ever, that the priEed Navy Gross recently was awarded to Corporal Snieckus, 25, son of Mrs, Anna D, Snieckus of 98 Burr street, Water bury, Conn. It was for wading through the underbrush on Namur with Q light machine gun cradled in his arms and blaiHng away, while tho Japanese blazed back at him.
 The award was mace by Brigadier General Franklin A. Hart, who, as colonel, commanded the Marine combat team that captured Namur toughest and blootliest of oil the invaded Marshall Islands, He alse led the same outfit through saipan and then on Tinian, in which bat ties Corporal Snieckus was so con- Slstently outstanding that no one of his deeds can be justly singled out for special comment,
 Perhaps the finest thing that could be said of Corporal Snieckus on saipan and Tinlan was said by his commanding officer, Captain Joseph J. Mccarthy, of 20b Wilson street, Ironwood, Mich.
 He was just Q damn good Ma rlne all the way through"
 Corporal Snieckus, . private first class ct Namur, was promoted to his present rank on saipan for his outstanding performance of duty there, The award of the Navy Gross actually was approved while he was at sea, en route to Saipan.
 The citation accompanying the award reads
 For extraordinary heroism Tn nction against enemy Japanese forces on Namur Island, Kwajalein Atoll, February 1, le4A. He was squad leader and gunner of light machine gun squad which partiei' pated in a tank and infantry attack through an area covered by thick undergrowth, When the tanki turned aside, he pushed forward with his gun cradled In his arms asae engaged the enemy In a fire Tight After the gun could be set up in th' normal manner he continued to fir' 1t and repulsed two Japanese coun' ter-attacks, being under heavy en' emy fire throughout.
 His cool courage, devotion tt duty and aggressive spirit were or inspiration to men fighting with hin and in keeping with the highest tra' ditions of the naval service
