MARINES BITTER
OVER TRAIN TRIP
Continued from Page One)

Guam, bound for the States ano
civilian life. Among them are
veterans of the 1st End, 3rd, 5th
and 9Th Marine Observation-Disclosures
whose exploits in the Pacific need
no recitation here.
Most of the 66 men who reached
Wilmington yesterday began their
homeward trek in August, shortly
after the Japs folded. They were
kept in the Transit center at Guam
for 80 days, finally embarking for
the States, via Pearl Harbor,
aboard an LST-Landing ship,
tank. There were 731 men on the
LIST, not exactly a comfortable
number itself, but there weren't
many beefs about that because
they were travelling home-ever
| if at only seven knots per hour.
At San Diego, where they arriv.
ed October 26, the men were di.
dided into groups according to
geographical locations of their
homes. This particular group Of
66, mostly Southern boys, were
tagged for Camp Lejeune. For II
days, they complained in acic
tones they were kept in camp il

Most of the men needed shoes
dress shoes-as all the footwear
most of them had were combat
shoes.
do you think we were issued
any?" Someone interposed into
the interview. Hell mol" hall
dozen echoed in reply.
Shoes, it seems, were for sale
only to officers and non-coms Of
the upper two pay grades.
But the worst was yet to come
as the Sc were to find once they
got to San Diego's Union station
There, in charge of a Tech Gun
merry Sergeant, the &c men were
packed into day coach-with q
3.000-mile journey ahead of them
One of the men picked up the
story from there:
TT was a Santa Fe coach anc
our immediate destination was
Chicago. The coach wasn't any
too clean to start with, and by
the second day out from. Sar
Diego you can imagine what il
was like with &c men stacked into
it.
Somewhere in New Mexico we
ran out of water and went with.
out it for five hours. The head
went out of order and wouldn',
flush. Boy, it was TERRIBLE
When the coach arrived ir
Chicago and the men learned
they were to be transferred to an
other train. their spirits rose con
siderably.
YEAH" said one, 1--WE figured
we'd get into some Pullmans.'
They didn't get anything but an
other chair car; chair car which
like the first one, was not air
conditioned.
And you know what?" another
Marine demanded. You k<sov
That coach didn't have
any drinking water aboard all tn,

What ranked the men more
than lack of water, though, wa!
their discovery that their coacl
was part of train with six Pull
man sleepers, all carrying civil
ians on the Pennsylvania Chi
cago-Cincinnati route.
Before the conductor locked tn
door to our coach we discovere,
that one Pullman had three OF

Weather Big Factor m Auto Accidents
Traffic Safety Officer William DwysF Gives Warning That "SsasOn of Mishaps" Mas Officially Arrived

A litle sage advice that packs a big wallop, is given in the follow ing statement by Traffic Safety officer William Dwyer. who states that at this time of year there is an increase in accidents; and then goes on to elucidate upon the state ment in language that we all can understand and profit by - if we'll use a little common sense.
 This is the time of the year when the temperature takes a down. ward spin and the highway accident rate goes into an upward swing. Mere man is always subject to the whims of Mother Nature. The ex- perience of the last war has proven that, in spite of all kinds of planes and armament that beggar descrip- tion by the average layman, their success in battle was, to a great de- gree, dependent on the type of wea- ther offered by Mother Nature. The meteorologist came into his own dur ing the war; and air, sea and land movements were based and timed according to the information given to the service commanders by him.
 So too on our highways, our suc- cess or failure in keeping out of trouble depends to some degree on the weather conditions. In this sec tion of the country the winter sea- son is about to drop in on us with It's usual array of rain, sleet and snow storms; and for the sake of variety she throws in cold, damp, foggy nights when visibility is down to zero. If the past experiences on the highways are a criterion on which to base our predictions of things to come, this winter will pro- duce the usual crop of accidents, especially the type involving pedes- | trianS.
 There is no closed season on pedestrians, no bag limit; but the winter seems to be the real open season. As in war, surprise and wis., ibility are important factors when the use of the highway is involved whether We play the role of a driver or that of pedestrian. When a pedestrian steps out between inter sections, usually in front of a car, the driver is caught unawares, and in most cases there Is not much that he can do about the situation.
