DAY OF DAYS
April 2 was the big day when
the Allies took over the camp.
Food and medical supplies,
warm clothing and the great
comfort of knowing that the
agony was all overall came at
once. into the camp. AS fast as
possible the prisoners were
evacuated, under constant medi-
cal care. Pvt. Teller has recov-
cred much of his lost weight in
the 60 days since his release.
He has been in ColdWater Wis
ting his family, and arrived in
Roseville this week. He talked
at high school assembly Tues
day.
Teller has been in service IA
months, went overseas in Sept

Safely Home
from Germany

Roseville's first known liber-
ated prisoner of war, Pfc. Wayne
Teller, is home with his wife and
three -year-old laughter at
26656 Nieman, trying TO forget
his 100 days of Imprisonment at
Bad Orb, Germany.
Munching frequent lunches,
Pvt. Teller, who was Burton
High schools band director for
six years before entering serv-
ice, reflects that his spirits hit
their lowest point on Christmas
Eve, 1914. After four days Of
marching from dawn TO dark, he
and hundreds of other prisoners
were herded into box cars, for
four more days of travel. Christ
mas Eve the Nazi guards opened
the box car doors and threw in
hunks of black bread and pieces
of corned beef, Carefully div
lded that constituted the only
food for the trip, and was of
small comfort 10 the exhausted
and freezing prisoners as they
dreamed of families gathered
around Christmas dinner tables
at home.
IN RUNDSTEDT'S PATH
Pvt. Feller's outfit, the 28th
Infantry Division, was right in
the path of Marshal Gcrd Won
Runstedt's forces as they made
their big push through Luxem-
bourg. The 18th went out to
meet the enemy, but the sur
prise and strength of the Ger
man advance proved too much.
The prisoners were taken to
Bad Orb, near Frankfort, where
the meagre rations and the cold
ate into the bodies of the 5000
Americans. For the first six
weeks, the men slept on the bare
floors, fighting the severe cold
Of the mountainous region, and
slowly starved. One blanket
apiece was finally given the

tion of ailments mostly starvation. Among
the ailments was beri beri, which | had
contracted several months earlier. In my
last days atTallae,- ! had been walking
across a wooden floor when Brig. Gen.
Lewis Beebe stopped me.

walking, the rest Of the foot quickly col

Beri beri or not, and most Of us at
karenko had it, we eventually we're forced
to work. We decided that it was either
work or death by starvation, which left us
little choice The Jap guards had inSinuated

- going to work was not as easy as
expressing the willingness. We had to
appeal to them to permit us to work, to
make it appear that we were breaking
down their lofty resolve to uphold the
Geneva Convention.
As for our work rice" we soon saw
that the Japs were using this promise as
another means of mocking us. At least
half of the time they refused to give it to
us.

That is the winter home of some
so costly thoroughbreds from War

are no races to run them in, but
otherwise business is going on as

here until about April Is. Then,
If it looks like there1l be any
