lords Battles Are Traced i'm
Talks by Company G Officers

/ Other former members of the COM
pany who were guests were Capt
Charles E. Peterson Jr., Lieut.. Hor-
ace Gamas and Lieut. Bert OSen
In the aggregate, they wore ribbons
for five silver star medals and one
bronze star medal. Two, Captain
Peterson and Lieutenant Osen, wear
the purple heart.
Also guests were Lieut.. Francis
Hammerness, son of the program
chairman, and Corp. Marcus Stern
hagen, recently discharged from the
marine corps.
After induction into the army OF
the United States in September,
1910, the company spent some 10
months at Fort Lewis, Wash, be-
fore it left for overseas in March,
1912, landing at sydney, Australia.
The 41st division, of which the
163rd was a part, was then the only
American combat unit in Australia.
The regiment spent eight months
at Seymour, Victoria, about go miles
from Melbourne in training for the
Jungle warfare to come, Colonel
Armstrong related. Then, as the
Japs pressed farther south, it was
moved 1900 miles north to Rock
hampton in Queensland.

combat was in Papua dover New
Guinea)," he continued. There
they spent seven months, about half
that time in combat in the Buna-
Gona-Sanananda campaigns. Re-
duced in strength, more by tropical
ailments than by battle casualties,
the unit was sent back to Rock
hampton in July, 1913, to recuper-
ate and train.
The Montanans left again in
March, 1914, and after staging at
Finschhafen, participated in land
ings at Aitape in April and Tome
and Wakde in May as General Mac
Arthur's successful le~apfrogging OPP
erations took them up the New
Guinea coast. The 163rd operated
as a combat team in these attacks
It rejoined the 41st at Biak late
in May when this key point in the
| Schouten islands was seized from
the invaders.
Another rest and training period
found the 4lSt ready fer the Philip
nine invasion. After that, it fought
only once as a unit. In COMPARE
lively small actions, the regiments
fought at many points in the Phil
ippines.
The regiment took Zambcanga on
southern Mindanao island and is
lands in the Sulu archipelago. The
regiment then split up and hat
was the last combat action

thus, complete 46 years of service as a teacher, principal, an assistant super intendent, and superintendent at the close of the current school year. It is rot alawys given to every teacher to con- tinue as long as that in active service. But when he does there should be the hope or the thought of retirement.
 It does seem as if there should be reward for lifetime given in the cause of our local school system, regardless of all the peculiar circumstances that now surround anyone seeking a pension from the city. Too often, we think, a pension becomes very commercial thing a mat ter of dollar and cents True, that factor definitely enters into the creation of a pension, but it should not be the deter mining one. This factor should actually be long and faithful services.

neighbors. As long as we are fa1r and honest and don't trample on their rights, the chances are they'll do right by us. And for one have found this usually works with most things, from small nations and people to a team of horses blowing in the field.
 I've. been to your country, MT. Stalin, and like the people. I was up with the Red Army in Siberia when they eased out the last remnants of the Japs in 1922. And I have seen a lot of them in other places. They are good people and not hard to st along with.
 And if you ever come over here, you will find that our people are the same. They are very easy to get along with. They are generous, open-heart- ed, don't want much for what they gave in fact pretty muc hike your people. But like yours, they can be hot tempered, and they get awfully sore when somebody lets them down. Now there is only one thing the American people want out of this war. They want no territory, no reparations, no pomp or fol = de = rol. They want only one thing-a fair deal for all nations, big and small, and the permanent peace that goes with it.
 The only other alternative Is the biggest army the world has ever seen, the biggest navy. and rockets that will pulverize cit- ties 5000 miles away.
 THAT WOULD MEAN THE EVENTUAL END OF CIVILI- PATTON.
 I am sure your country will not make the same mistake we did after the last war. You cam not let us down.
 Yours truly,

State Highway Commissioner William J. Cox's description of state roads as crooked, crowded, high-crowned, and utterly inadequate" sounds like rather scathing criticism from the head of the department responsible for them. He was speaking at the legislative hearing this past week called to discuss an ln- crease of one cent in the gasoline tax. What he said was undoubtedly true, for we don't think he would let himself be quoted to this effect if he couldn't take YOU out and show you roads that fit the above description, but the fact remains that there are roads which don't fall into this category. The trouble is we have too many roads that are antiquated, so that the postwar road-building program IS going to be tremendous one and de- mand lot of financing for which we should prepare now.
