pin by members of the club.

CARR|E FIR HOME SAFE

WASHINGTON, May l8-(P- The Aircraft Carrier Franklin which miraculously survived one of the severest ordeals in this or any other war, is home, and she came home badly crippled, but under her own power.
 The charred and battered hull, manned by skeleton crew of survivors is now undergoing re- pairs in the Brooklyn Navy Yard and will resume her place in the war against Japan.
 Until now the Jap radio propa- gandists never knew how close they came to being right when they boasted a twenty seven thou sand ton vessel of the Essex class had been sunk. Without the in credible stamina and strength built into her, and without the superhuman courage of her per- sonnel, their claim might easily have been true.
 As it was the carrier suffered ~ 832 men killed and 270 missing, which was more than one-third of her total complement. Chance played into their hands as the lone enemy dive bomber streaked suddenly out of the clouds within sixty miles of the Japanese coast on the morning of March 19, and dropped two 500-pound armor piercing bombs, released at low altitude. Both scored direct hits.
 One exploded beneath the flight deck which was armed with planes ready for the take-off. An other went off on the hangar deck where other planes were fueled and armed and waiting to be taken to the flight deck.
 The attacking plane was .downed moment later, but the bombs exploding where they did started a train of fires and ex- plosions which for hours rended the torture vessel. The ship was operating as part of fast carrier task force in a strike against the remnants of the Jap fleet on Jap ans Inland Sea.
 Explosion after explosion fol- lowed the initial blasts, but with out panic. Those who escaped death or injury moved in to fight the fires. A few minutes after the first attack the light cruiser Santa Fe came alongside and removed the wounded. These operations were interrupted however when one of the carriers forward 5-inch

Six Fighting Chuses

FRASER - Few communities
in Michigan can boast a. real a
fighting family" az the Chase
family, Of Fraser. whose six
members each contributed a
generous share, according to
their station in life, to the over
all war effort.
The Chase family's war serv-
ice is outlined in a leading ar
ticle in THE Torch" company
publication of the Fruehauf
Trailer Company. which points
out that:
Amos Chase, the father, who
is now maintenance superin-
tendent at Cedar Rapids, was all
important war worker and bona
buyer throughout the war ef-
fort;
His wife, Mrs. Chase, who en-
tered volunteer Red Cross work,
has so far put in some 255 hours
Of hospital service;
Their daughter. Mrs. Fred En-
dres, Of Fraser, is a nurses aide,
at st. Joseph Hospital, Mount
Clemens;
Mrs. Endres' daughter, Elaine,
is in training for cadet nurse,
and has accumulated more than
1000 hours credit for three sum-
mers' Red Cross work;
Reg. Chase, son OF Mr.. and
Mrs. Amos Chase, a Fruehauf
employee, donated IA pints of
blood to the Red Cross blood
banks;
HELPED LICK GERMANY
Another son, 1st 1t. Norman,
USAAF, ran up a total of five
Air Medal awards flying sup
plies to the Allied fighting front
in Germany during the closing
period of the war, and
Seaman nc Robert Chase, on
the USS Mobile, has about a
dozen battle stars to his credit
for Pacific action.
The Chase family resided in
Fraser for about 20 years. Mrs.
Chase was organist of the Zion
Evangelical Church in Fraser

church affairs. In fact, the entire
family was active in various viii
lage affairs. Mr.. and Mrs. Chase

throughout the Pacific, from
Hawaii to the far reaches Of New
Guinea.
The Sight-Seers had one Of the
toughest assignments in recap
ture Of Luzon. They landed at
Lingayen Gulf Jan. 8, 1945, and
went straight to the hills in pur-
suit of the Japs. While most Of
the other invading divisions were
working on fairly flat terrain,
the Sixth was in the mountains
attacking formidable Nip posi-
tons. In the first month of the
campaign the Sixth killed 5000
Japs, and during the fierce battle
around Munoz knocked out 81
Jap medium and light tanks and
destroyed a great number of ar
tillery pieces.
The Sixth's first job was the
defense of Oahu. In 1914 it set
sail for Milne Bay, New Guinea,
and later moved to the Toem-
Wadke area. In July the Sight
Seers went into action west of
Toem and met and defeated the
Japs in the bloody battle Of Lone
Tree Hill. With little rest, the
Sixth moved again. This time the
men landed at Sansaper on the
Vogelkop Peninsula in the Meth
erlands East Indies. Striking
swiftly, they rapidly secured the
Sensaper coast and garrisoned
this area until it joined the
armada that sailed against Lu-
zon.
