Into Fight
In Philippines

WITH THE 2ATH INFANTRY
CVICTORY) DIVISION IN THE

B. Moreno Jr, of 152 Sonoita ave-

low personnel clerks of this Victory
Divisions driving 21st Infantry
Regiment dropped pencils and paper
and got into the fight.
For two weeks during fierce fight
ing for a network of high ridges,
they went through heavy sniper fire
to carry food, ammunition, water,
cigarettes, to front line troops.
On the way back they carried
litter patients, led walking wounded
to hospitals behind the lines.
At night they searcned the for
ward areas to recover bodies of their
comrades killed in the fight.
"Once we were caught in ty-
phoon which forced us to leave the
trail in Jap infested territory and
seek refuge in high grass" Moreno
said. Actually, we had to cling to
one another to hold our positions.
When the wind subsidized, the
group was discovered by a native
who took the clerks to his home,
fried chicken and cooked corn on
the cob, and rice for them. THAT
meal was like a dream" Moreno de-
clared.

Well, Shorty Martinez is sure

Keep it up right into Tokyo!
Speaking of Shorty, I gotta tell
you about the phone conversation I
heard in his office the other day.
You know the censors listen in on
all converse tionS from this side of
the line into Mexico.
Some grower in Mexico called
Shorty and sez, Hello Shorty, is
that you?"
"Yep, this is Shorty" Martinez
Sez.
How are you feeling, Shorty, ~
sez the guy in Mexico.
Fine answers Shorty.
That's good, Sez the grower,
because I want to borrow two
thousand pesos from you"
Then Shorty sez: Il can't hear a
word you are saying
The guy repeats, IT said I want
to borrow two thousand pesos.
Shorty sez, Funny thing, I can't
hear a word you are saying. The
line must be out Of order.
Just then the censor butted in
and sez: "The line is as clear as
bell. 1 can hear every word he is
saying"
"Okay then" sez Shorty, 'you
loan him the two thousand pesos. "
Good luck, hello from Shorty anc

In recent action, the battery Of
155 MN. howitzers to which Alta

to bypass a string of vehicles. The
barrels of the big guns accidentally
became turned toward a wooded area
